After seeing off the Li family, Lin's father and mother hurriedly asked about the details of the incident.

After knowing that their son bought it from someone overseas while traveling and that he was going to participate in this year's provincial examination, Lin's father and mother's attention was distorted.

Although they were interested in overseas people, they paid more attention to their son's participation in the provincial examination.

"Son, you said you were going to participate in this year's provincial examination?"

Lin's father and mother hurriedly asked.

Although he had asked someone to send a letter and pass on the message to his parents before the trip, he did not say that he was going to participate in the provincial examination. He only said that he was going to travel around the country to increase his knowledge in order to verify what he had learned.

They didn't understand it, but they also knew that this was agreed by Li Ci, and there was a reason for it.

After a year of traveling, Lin Zixuan is already fourteen years old.

Many people in the countryside at this age have already married and had children. Although his son is now a scholar, he has not become an official and still needs to be supported by his family. Although he lives in his teacher's house and Lin's parents only gave some money later, they are still a little anxious.

In addition, many girls from other villages know that Linjiazhuang has a young scholar with extraordinary knowledge. It may not take long for him to pass the imperial examination. He is also very handsome and has temperament. They can't help but propose the idea of ​​marriage to their parents.

In the past few years, many families with good family conditions have come to his house to propose marriage. They all said that they liked their sons and did not need to give gifts, but also brought a lot of dowry.

Although Lin's father and mother directly refused, they couldn't help but feel excited when they heard the various dowries they mentioned.

This is what the Lin family can't earn in their lifetime working in the fields.

There is a famous local landlord who listed a long list of dowries, including five hundred taels of silver, one hundred acres of fertile land, etc.

When you are faced with temptation, can you still stick to what you want?

After the Lin family parents refused, they would still think of it from time to time, but their hearts could not help but twitch, and they could only suppress the throbbing in their hearts painfully, and they felt distressed.

Because they knew that their son was a capable person, and now was not a good time to get married. When their son passed the imperial examination, there would be a brighter future.

"Yes."

Lin Zixuan nodded in response when he heard his parents' question.

"Okay, when do you plan to leave? I'll let your eldest brother accompany you so that he can take care of you on the way."

Father Lin was happy and worried when he heard this. Although his son was not young, he had to go to such a faraway place as Jizhou City.

The cities in this world are divided into three levels: prefectures, counties, and states. Prefectures are equivalent to provinces, counties are equivalent to prefecture-level cities, and counties are equivalent to counties. The capital is a special name for the capital.

"Dad, it's March now, and the provincial examination is in August. I plan to leave in three days."

Lin Zixuan looked at his father and said.

He did not object to his father's arrangement. After all, they could only feel at ease if someone at home followed them.

Although Lin Zixuan had been traveling alone for a year and his life was rich enough, at least he could take care of himself, they still couldn't help but treat him as a child.

Besides, he was only fourteen years old now, which was only in junior high school in modern society. He was still a child.

"You have to take good care of your brother on the road and let him prepare for the exam well."

Father Lin turned to the excited Lin Zihe, the eldest brother of the Lin family.

This name was given by the teacher in the village school. He said that He means rice seedlings. Father Lin thought it sounded good and decided on it.

Lin Zihe patted his chest and said firmly: "Dad, don't worry, I promise to take good care of my brother."

His expression was very excited.

That was Jizhou City, a big city. As a young man who has worked on the land for more than 20 years, who has not dreamed of traveling through thousands of mountains and rivers and seeing the beautiful scenery of the motherland?

Just like the lyrics: I once wanted to travel the world with a sword... to see the prosperity of the world...

Ahem... I'm off topic.

He had never been to such a faraway place, so naturally his heart was full of desire and expectation.

......

Three days later.

Lin Zixuan had already taught his father how to plant, cultivate, and eat each type of grain seed, and asked him to memorize the content in the next few days.

He only had three days, so time was very tight.

And now was the time for sowing in spring, and part of these fields had to be reserved for cultivating new grains.

Of course, he had to learn it quickly.

This was hard for Lin's father. He was already over 40 years old and had never been to school when he was young. He didn't know how to read. Now that he was old, he only knew a few common characters.

Now he only had three days to memorize all these contents, which almost cost him his life.

He complained to his son every time, saying that he couldn't remember them.

"But you can't understand this planting manual."

There was no way. When Lin Zixuan said this, he stopped.

This was the first time he regretted not finding a teacher to learn how to read.

He memorized during the day and at night. He hadn't worked in the fields these days, so he shouldn't have been tired.

But his body wasn't tired, but his brain was.

But seeing his exhausted appearance, Lin's mother felt distressed and amused. From time to time, she made some delicious food to nourish Lin's father.

During this period, the eldest sister-in-law of the Lin family also returned to the Lin family. After hearing what her husband and father-in-law had said, she knew that this matter was serious and naturally would not tell anyone. She immediately promised that she would not even tell her family.

However, she was very sad when she thought that her husband was going to Jizhou City and it would take half a year or even a year for him to come back again.

Lin Zixuan saw that the eldest sister-in-law was sad, so he specifically asked his eldest brother to accompany her well in the next few days.

The eldest brother paid special attention to his younger brother's words and found that his wife was a little unhappy, but he didn't know why. He understood it after his younger brother said it.

So the two of them were so affectionate for two days.

In this way, three days passed slowly.

The two brothers of the Lin family prepared their things and planned to go to Yuncheng to say goodbye to their teacher and master's wife, then rent a carriage, buy some dry food, and rush to Jizhou City.

The happiest person was not the eldest brother of the Lin family, but Lin's father.

"Finally I'm free!"

Father Lin cried in his heart, but he still smiled and told the two of them.

Lin Zixuan looked at his elder brother who was holding his waist in front of him and looked very weak. He knew that the two of them had been doing a lot of love sports in the past few days.

He held back his smile and asked with concern: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, just a little too much stuff, a little tired."

Lin Zihe looked at his brother's expression of holding back laughter, and couldn't help blushing. He thought of a random reason to explain.

No longer teasing their elder brother, the two of them concentrated on rushing to Yuncheng.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive in Yuncheng.
