81, life-saving grace(1/2)

"Have you heard that? Our Hujiang examiner has decided."

Zhao Yilin was packing things in the wing room, but when he heard the movements in his hand, he pushed open the window.

The students of Songlin Academy live in the wing room with a font shape, and the lush pine and cypress planted in the middle is a lush pine and cypress. The pine and cypress have been born for many years, and the canopy is like clouds blocking the sun in the scorching summer.

The person who spoke was Zhang Kaixin. He was a little fat when he was young. Now he was much taller and his voice was very loud. As soon as he spoke, others immediately opened the window and asked him: "Zhang Pang, who is our chief examiner?"

However, Zhang Kaixin got the nickname Zhang Pang before losing weight. After losing weight, he still shouted like this.

Zhang Kaixin said: "The chief examiner is Wei Song, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The deputy examiner is very impressive. You must not guess who it is."

Zhang Kaixin didn't sell it for long, and the others knew his temperament and deliberately ignored him. Someone yawned lazily, and Lin Shengyan said with a smile: "Tell me quickly, if you don't say it again, you will beg for another night."

Zhang Kaixin smiled and said, "Brother Lin said that this time the examiner in our Hujiang is not ordinary. The deputy examiner is an amazing task! He is the third prince! I was shocked when I heard the news."

Water was poured into the boiling oil, and it was a mess in an instant. Four students lived in this wing room. In addition to the adjacent wing room, many people either poked their heads or walked out directly to discuss the examiner’s affairs:

"How is it possible? Even if the deputy examiner is not important, he must be from a Jinshi. If he is the eldest prince, I still believe that the third prince is not yet established."

"The third prince and my brother are about the same age as fourteen years old. How can they be the deputy examiner? Is there no one in the court who objected?"

"Zhang Pang, where did you get the news? Are you sure? Why do you think the news is not right?"

The third prince?

Lin Shengyan's movements paused. If he wanted to say that the prince was the deputy examiner, he would not believe it. If it were the third prince... his hand touched his knee, he would have offended the servants of the Wang family back then, and almost ruined his life.

Maybe that shouldn't be said.

If he hadn't offended the servants of the Wang family that time, perhaps he would have read in a mess and looked down on others' reading eight-part essays. He had a high opinion of himself but had nothing. Perhaps he had also liked a girl from another family, but he was looked down upon again.

Lin Shengyan's fingertips were rubbing his knees, thinking that these changes were not bad for him.

If it was the third prince, it would be very likely to be with the appearance of Concubine Wang being in charge.

Zhang Kaixin continued, "This matter really cannot be true anymore. I overheard it from the mountain captain. I am afraid that the whole Hujiang will know in a few days."

Zhang Kaixin suddenly noticed Lin Shengyan's expression. They were friends. He knew best how Lin Shengyan's knee injury came about. He suddenly realized that the third prince's deputy examiner would have any bad impact on Lin Shengyan?

Lin Shengyan looked at Zhang Kaixin's appearance and shook his head at him.

There are too many people now, so I'll talk about anything later.

By the time he wanted Lin Shengyan to write a letter to ask for help, Lin Shengyan figured it out. He had offended Wang Dequan's servant before. At that time, he was arrogant and now he is completely different from the past. Moreover, he did not leave the door for the exam, could he still be troubled by others?

"Besides, my father will know sooner or later." Lin Shengyan said, "I'm afraid that after they know, my grandfather will come over. Don't panic now."

Zhang Kaixin still remembers that Lin Hongen sent Lin Shengyan to the academy. The smiling old man retired from the Censorate. The Censorate's connections are still there. It is a major event like the imperial examination. Even if he wants to do, he should take some into consideration.

Zhang Kaixin scratched his head and didn't think much about it. As Lin Shengyan said, before anyone could come, there was no need to panic first.

The news was that it was the earliest to go to the General Administration and the Prefect of Yunzhou, followed by Songlin Academy, which had the most candidates. It immediately spread from Yunzhou and spread to Jian'an Prefecture.

When the news reached Jian'an Mansion, Lin Zhao was busy in a small garden.

Many of the flowers and trees in the Jian'an Prefect's house were handled by Lin Zhao. She would collect the burned wood ash in autumn and mix it with the soil. When the fermentation lasted a winter, this black mud was used to grow flowers, medicinal materials or sweet potatoes nowadays.

Lin Zhao finally raised the moldy sweet potatoes that day and planted them in her small yard. In addition to herbs and these foreign plants, the most roses are roses. The roses bloom along the corners of the walls. They are the most beautiful in spring. In summer, they also opened a small mouth. There is a small rockery flowing water in the yard, and some bowls of lotus are planted in it.

Lin Zhao was loosening the soil with a small shovel, loosening the soil from the roots of the weeds, and uprooting the weeds. Her sister made a satin cage on her hands. Lin Qingwei saw that Zhao Zhao was either taking care of herbs or plants from Fanbang, and specially made a cage for Lin Zhao that fits her palms so that her sister would not have a calluse.

After all the cleaning was done, Lin Zhao took off his cage.

Lin Zhao had a sun-shading squid on his head. When he arrived at a cool place, he took off his hat and exposed his white jade-like cheeks. He wiped the sweat from his temples with a veil, and asked Coral who was talking about the news with his head, "If the third prince is the deputy examiner, will it have any impact?"

Coral's eyebrows were worried: "I don't know if it will have an impact on the young master."

Lin Zhao thought for a while, "It may be that the exam will be fairer, so that any mistake will affect the reputation of His Highness the Third Prince."

"But, the third prince has no reputation." Shanhu muttered, "The Wang family acts so domineeringly. This time the third prince comes, will that Master Wang come too?"

When he thought of Wang Dequan, Coral frowned and felt even more worried.

Lin Zhao was slightly stunned. She had forgotten this. Although she had the dream of Xiaoyu, she knew that she could not rely on Xiaoyu's dream. After Coral said this, she immediately became worried about her brother, especially before the exam, she had to invest in the bank paper.

The so-called investment bank paper is the students who are going to take the exam and submit their poems and articles to the examiner before the exam.

This deputy examiner is the third prince, and the chief examiner is also from the Wang family, and his brother...

Lin Zhao pinched the shovel and thought about it and said, "Why don't I live in Yunzhou. If there is anything, maybe I can avoid it."

After Lin Zhao said this, she felt more and more that this was a solution. She stuffed the things into Coral's arms and prepared to go to find her father.

This investment banking paper is equivalent to a student with a unique experience. If you are not in harmony with the third prince, you will be able to do so. As long as the examiner finally judges the paper fairly.

Will there be any mistakes in the word "fairness"? Lin Zhao frowned, changed his clothes, and rode his horse to the suburbs to find his father and grandfather.

Since Mrs. Tang left Kyoto, Lin Hongen went fishing after having nothing to do. After fishing back, he made the kitchen into various fish. What he ate in Kyoto was not Mrs. Tang's craftsmanship, and he was not tired of eating it. When he came to Jian'an Mansion, he was still interested in fishing. This fish was made by Mrs. Tang, and Lin Hongen ate the most every time.

Now Lin Hongen is sitting under the tree fishing, and Lin He is sitting next to him. After Lin Zhao dismounts, he follows her without having to tie the horse.

After Lin Zhao saluted, Lin Hongen waved to let her sit on the stool, "Why are you here?"

"I heard from the sorcerer that this time the chief examiner of Hujiang is Lord Wei Songwei, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the deputy examiner is the third prince."

The father and son looked at each other, and their expressions became serious. Lin Hongen packed up the fishing rod, while Lin He asked, "Where did Coral hear it?"

"Yunlai Inn." Lin Zhao said, "I just passed by the inn and asked the merchant that he came from Songlin Academy in Yunzhou. Someone from his family was studying in the academy and said that the news was first transmitted to the academy."

For candidates, it is important to ask who the examiner is in the Qiuwei exam. It depends on the preferences of the examiner. So if the news comes from Songlin Academy, it will be a good match.

"I'm fine," said Lin Hongen. "I'll go to Yunzhou for a while and have some tea with Lord Luo, and then see who I know in Yunzhou. I don't ask the investment bank papers to keep an eye on. At least when I'm judging the papers, I have to get the word fair."

After all, he retired from the Censorate, and even Luo Ji wanted to sell him some face. This time the third prince was the deputy examiner, which should be a decoration. In Lin Hongen's opinion, it was necessary to deliberately make trouble, but he was just a guard against others. Last time, Lin Shengyan was broken and did not seek justice. If he could no longer protect his grandson, he felt that he had no face to continue living in Jian'an Mansion.

Lin Zhao felt relieved when he heard his grandfather's words and said, "Grandfather, Doctor Sun took me to the Gan family to treat Miss Gan's illness. This should be considered as someone who speaks for his brother."

Lin He also said: "Lord Luo is very fair, and Lord Pan has not yet retired." Both of them admired him. Thinking of the people Lin Zhao saved, there was also one member of Liao Feng and Lord Liao, and quickly added in, "There is also Lord Liao."

Luo Ji is the left governor, while Liao Feng is the right governor. The two second-rank officials from the left and right, plus the scattered relationships, seem to be not very difficult to judge the quotation fairly.

Lin Zhao felt relieved, but she still wanted to go to Yunzhou. The examiner was the third prince after all, and she was a little worried, "Then I will go with my grandfather. Daddy, is this good?"

Lin Hongen laughed. He felt that Lin Zhao had no effect in the past. Instead, Lin He said, "It's good."

After Lin Zhao spoke, Lin He felt that if his daughter went there, he would be relieved. It was not the case that Tonghua Village broke the dam. Lin Zhao had saved more than a dozen lives in recent years. Moreover, if that sweet potato could really produce a thousand kilograms per mu, it would be a huge merit.

Lin He felt that Zhaozhao was taking Fu with her. If she went to Yunzhou, her family would be relieved and naturally agreed.

Lin Hongen didn't know Lin Zhao's ability, and said in surprise, "What Zhao Zhao said in the past..."

Lin Zhao shook Lin Hongen's hand and smiled brightly at him. This trick was learned from Baoer. Baoer begged Mr. Qian like this, even if Mr. Qian was angry the moment ago, he would compromise.

The same is true for Mr. Lin now. The little girl looked at it with Qing Lingling's eyes and said without waiting for other reasons, "If you go to Yunzhou, will the homework of Mr. Cen from Doctor Sun be important?"

"It doesn't matter. I have been to Yunzhou before and I won't even get my homework down."

When the little girl smiled, her eyes were like a crescent moon, and the dimples on her cheeks were like honey, which made Lin Hongen compromise, "Okay, go back and talk to your grandmother, your mother and your sister."

Liu wanted to go this time, but a few days after the autumn examination was released, it was her daughter's wedding day. After discussing with her husband, she asked her daughter Lin Qingwei to prepare embroidery pieces at home. She and the old lady went to Kyoto and bought a second-bedroom house. If she lived in Yunzhou for a while, it would not be enough time to buy a house in Kyoto and furniture and other items. Even so, time would be very tight.

Qian Baoer could not leave at this time. She wanted to write a scripture for a total of 199 days. This was explained by the master at that time. How could Qian Baoer act coquettishly at such a stall? Old Master Qian and the old lady would not let go.

Qian Baoer also knew this truth. Instead of begging her grandparents, she smiled and sent Lin Zhao away. When her grandmother teased her, Qian Baoer said, "When the birthday is over, I will live in Kyoto together. I will have a long life in the future!"

Qian Baoer thought that she would stay in Kyoto if she wanted to get married, and that Zhaozhao would find him too. Unfortunately, the Qian family did not have the right age to Lin Zhao, otherwise she would also be a matchmaker quietly.

Mrs. Zhou looked at her granddaughter and found it funny, "It's good, it's also the fate of both of you."

The two met in Yun'an County and studied with a master. They had not been popular for so many years and were able to continue to go to Kyoto together. Mrs. Zhou felt that it was also a blessing for her granddaughter. If it weren't for Lin Zhao, the child might have been spoiled like a little.

Lin Hongen and Lin Zhao went to Yunzhou this time, but did not take a boat, but instead took a land route, because Lin Zhao had to take her horse with him for a long time this time.

This horse is very powerful now, and some people even like her and want to buy it with Lin Zhao. Even if Lin Zhao is short of money, he will not sell the horse that is in line with her. What's more, Mrs. Tang is very generous. This time, Lin Zhao's close-fitting clothes were sealed with a small pocket, which contained a total of 300 taels of silver.

I took the land route from Jian'an to Yunzhou, and I stayed at the inn during the trip, and Lin Zhao dreamed of a little fish in this inn.

As soon as I fell asleep, I heard the little fish calling out, calling her in a lingering manner:

"Zhaozhao, something happened."

"Zhaozhao comes to the pond, Xiaohongwei Brother has something to say!"

Lin Zhao suddenly returned to the time when Tonghua Village broke the dam. Her heart thumped and she quickly calmed down and prevented her from waking up at this time. After going to the pond, Xiao Hongwei said that the person she wanted to save was not far from the mountainside, because he was protected from being close to him, but instead stepped on the stone and fell backwards.

Since Lin Zhao fell in dream, according to what Xiao Hongwei said, he has saved many people. This time he was just one person, far less than that in Tonghua Village, so why are the little fish in a hurry?

Xiaohongwei gave Lin Zhao the answer: "Because this time the people are different, if he dies, many people will die."

Lin Zhao suddenly realized that the person who was going to save was a big shot. She nodded, "I remember."

Lin Zhao didn't ask the little fish and the others what the identity was, because he wouldn't know even after asking Xiao Hongwei. It was like this in the past. Xiao Hongwei could clearly tell the time and place, but he didn't know the identity of those people.

After Lin Zhao woke up the next day, he told his grandfather that he was going to walk up the mountain, "Grandfather, someone is going to save him there."

Lin Hongen originally didn't know about Lin Zhao, but before leaving, Lin He told him that at first Lin Hongen didn't believe it, and shook his head with a smile, "Where is such a thing?"

Seeing that Lin He's expression was inconvenient and he was still cautious, he was a little shaken. When he heard Mrs. Tang's words like this, he nodded skeptically, "Okay, if Zhao Zhao wants to say wherever he goes, he will go."

Lin Hongen nodded when he heard Lin Zhao say he was going to the bamboo forest by the mountain, "Okay, the scenery there is good."

When he reached Lin Hongen's age, he felt like he had burned most of the candles, and even his curiosity was almost burned out. However, suddenly he changed to the mountains full of bamboo forests, which made Lin Hongen feel curious, but he was not in a hurry to ask, and he would know later on.

If you want to go up the mountain, it is not easy to drive a carriage, so Lin Zhao and his grandfather were one horse, and the other maids and servants were left at the inn. Peng Qin felt a little uneasy and asked Tingyu, who had a scar on his face, "Can this work? The old man is not in such good health, why did he suddenly want to enjoy the scenery?"
To be continued...
