At the same time, the imperial examinations in various places were also held in advance in order to select useful talents as soon as possible and fill the vacancies everywhere.
After Jiusi learned about this, he personally visited the students selected from the Lin family as agreed and prepared the things they needed for the scientific examination.
When she arrived at their residence, they were still studying hard in the house. Because she didn't want to disturb their study, she only talked to them for a few words through the door and window, and then took them back to Lin's house.
This time she didn't hide anything from Lin Ruhai. Since she decided to give up everything in the Lin family, she would do it completely.
After returning to Lin's house, she went to the study to meet Lin Ruhai and informed him that several people had gone to Beijing to take the exam.
When Lin Ruhai suddenly heard this, she couldn't hide the surprise on her face. She stared at Jiusi for a long time before asking her: "Why did you suddenly think of bringing someone to Beijing?"
Jiusi naturally couldn't tell him the truth, so he said: "I saw that my father was in a difficult situation in Yangzhou before. My daughter was also afraid that if something happened to you, I would not be able to protect Daiyu, so I came to them specifically.
I'm thinking that I can find an adoptive person for you.
Although you have returned safely now, my daughter thinks that this matter can still be considered. You have no intention of remarrying, and you have no plans to find a son-in-law for Daiyu. So for the sake of family inheritance, you should choose a good son from the clan.
It's good to adopt her, so that she can support Daiyu in the future."
After Lin Ruhai heard this, she didn't say anything and waved her hand to let her go.
However, from that day on, he began to go to the yard where those people lived from time to time. Sometimes, in order to give guidance to a few people, he would often not go home. It was not until the day of the scientific examination that he stopped going to those people.
This shows that he was still very moved by her adoption proposal.
Daiyu was the best at observing people's expressions. Even though she didn't know about it at first, after not being able to see anyone for several days, she went to ask the housekeeper.
The housekeeper Xu had received Lin Ruhai's instruction, and he didn't hide it from her. He told her everything.
When Daiyu saw this situation, how could she not know what her father was thinking.
She didn't object to her father's adoption. Anyway, she was already old. Even if she adopted a son, they wouldn't see each other very often. The only thing that worried her was that she would meet someone with a bad temper.
Feeling a little uneasy, she naturally found her old father and asked about the situation.
Lin Ruhai had always loved her, so when she asked about it, he didn't hide it from her and told her everything.
After finishing speaking, he said with some emotion: "If nothing else, your sister has a very good taste in people. The brothers you have found are not only good in knowledge, but also have excellent character.
Even if you have some small bad habits, they are all harmless things. If you really adopt one of them, you will have someone to rely on in the future."
Daiyu couldn't hear what he said the most. When she heard what he said, she immediately said with some dissatisfaction: "What does father mean by this? Is it possible that my daughter can't survive without relying on them?"
Not to mention the skills my sister taught me, even the shops and bookstores my sister gave me are enough to last me a lifetime.
My father wants to adopt a clan brother, and my daughter has no intention of disagreeing. It’s just that before the adoption, I want to meet the person in person, is that possible?"
Lin Ruhai didn't know what Jiusi had taught Daiyu, he just thought it was a means of self-protection. Hearing what she said, he didn't take it too seriously, but seeing that Daiyu was not very resistant to adoption,
Then he complied with her request.
"This is natural. Since we want to become a family, we must get to know each other, otherwise we will not be happy in the future.
It’s just that they are about to take their scientific examinations, and the adoption issue is just a plan of our family. It’s not easy for me to mention it to them as a father, so we should wait until they finish their scientific examinations!”
Daiyu didn't have any other intentions. Seeing that he didn't object to her proposal, she naturally had no objection: "Just follow father's arrangement in everything."
After talking about the matter, the father and daughter talked about other topics. After cultivating the relationship between father and daughter, Daiyu left the study with others.
After Jiusi learned about this, he still had the same indifferent look on his face, which made it hard to tell.
After sending away the little maid sent by Lin Ruhai to deliver the message, she had the identity information of those people sent to Daiyu's yard, and then stopped caring about it.
Now she had no time to care about the affairs of the father and daughter. She thought that after her son rebelled against him, the emperor would be depressed for a while. Unexpectedly, not long after that, he started to get upset again.
Looking at the letter in her hand asking her to secretly help deliver food and grass, she wanted to go to the palace and blow that guy's head off.
Looking at the letter in February, she asked with some confusion: "Girl, is this wrong?
The affairs in the court have not been settled yet, so what kind of food and grass does the emperor ask you to send to him at this time?"
Yiyue also echoed: "I'm afraid there's something fishy about this. Girl, you'd better be more careful. It would be bad if he sets a trap for you."
Jiusi rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, and while handing the letter to Yue Yue to be destroyed, he answered the two of them: "I am still useful to him now. As long as he is not stupid, he will not do anything wrong."
I take action.
He suddenly asked me to help deliver food and grass. There must be some movement at the border, and he couldn't mobilize his people at this critical moment, so he thought of me.
Every year during the autumn harvest and cold winter when food is scarce, the border is not peaceful. There are always enemies to harass the people at the border. Before, the emperor's position was not secure, and it was difficult to start a war when there were internal and external troubles. Now he is secure.
Now, naturally I want to deal with those guys."
After hearing her words, several maids suddenly realized, but they didn't know what to say. After looking at each other, they all fell silent.
If it's just some personal struggle, they won't be afraid of it based on their ability. But once it involves fighting, no one can guarantee anything, because the individual's ability is limited after all.
Even Jiu Si fell silent.
In ancient times, there was a saying that was the same no matter which dynasty or generation it was placed in, that is, when things prosper, people suffer; when they fall, people suffer.
To be honest, she didn't want to do this favor to the emperor, because once a war started, many, many people would really die.
But it’s not okay not to help, because when the enemy comes to harass, many people will die at the border. This is a certain death situation.
Just like the world is evolving, the process of history will never stop because many people will die. All she can do is follow the process.
That night, after everyone had rested, she took people into the palace.
That night, no one knew what the two said, but before dawn the next day, Lin Jiusi left the capital with her twelve maids, heading all the way to the border.
And on the third day after she left Beijing, the imperial edict to support the Liu family as Lin Ruhai's wife caught Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu off guard.
