Jin tapped Lin Yutong's forehead, "Silly girl, that's not how things are done."
As he said that, he packed up the two pumpkins and pointed to the things on the kang. "Tea, snacks, wine, and fruits, there is no shortage of these four things. When you enter the village, be generous and show it to others."
It’s not worth much money, but it has to be done in a way that is blameless.”
Lin Yutong just didn't want to take the Lin family's things, and wanted to buy something for her father-in-law and mother-in-law directly and ask them to dispose of it. Since Jin said this, Lin Yutong also smiled.
An orphan girl of the Jin family was able to get here safely without being eaten or sold during the escape. She cannot be a weak-tempered person. She has no natal family and can still gain a foothold in her husband's family.
, then, she herself is a particularly wise person.
When saying goodbye, the old scholar gave Fourth Master a few more books and said, "After you've finished reading, bring them over and I'll change them for you. I'll give you a test then. You still have time to study now..."
Lin Yutong was stunned, how could the fourth master fool the old master and even pretend to teach him how to read.
Mr. Jin is very angry. You have ruined your family fortune by studying, and now you are encouraging your son-in-law to study. You can't live like this.
She tugged on Lin Jiren's sleeves and asked him to speak.
Lin Jiren coughed awkwardly, "It's getting late, let's ask the two children to go back. It's too late, the in-laws should have opinions."
Lin Youcai snorted and twitched his white beard, "One day, I will come to the Yin family in person to talk to the Yin family. I can't neglect one person and spoil another good seedling."
The Jin family stopped talking now. The Yin family favored the big house, and their daughter suffered a loss. There is nothing wrong with the old man coming to the house to make a fuss.
There was a smile in the fourth master's eyes, and he spent most of the day talking with the old scholar here in vain.
Even if you are full of knowledge, you must have a source of knowledge. The old scholar is not good at learning, but it does not mean that he cannot teach an outstanding disciple.
He solemnly thanked the old man. Lin Yutong also said with a smile: "Next time I come back, I will make some crispy pork for you."
The old scholar's beard curled up and he snorted lightly.
Lin Dalang and Lin Erlang sent Lin Yutong and Fourth Master to the bridge and stopped.
"Come back often." Lin Dalang warned: "Come back for a meal if you're hungry for meat. Just take a spin."
Lin Yutong responded, took the things from the two men, crossed the bridge and entered Hedong Village.
Some people gathered at the entrance of the village, talking about waiting for the fields to dry out in two days to harvest in the autumn.
When Lin Yutong and Fourth Master came back, they couldn't help but say hello. This village is full of clansmen, and no one knows the situation of others.
What the Fourth Master is holding is clearly visible.
Some people praised, "This Dr. Lin's family is a very particular family."
Lin Yutong smiled politely.
When there was no one around, Lin Yutong asked Fourth Master in a low voice, "Want to take the imperial examination?"
The fourth master nodded, "Without social status, you can't even keep money. Do you want your children to have more than a hundred acres of land each and live the life of small landlords?"
of course not!
The fourth master said: "Whether you want to be an official or not is a matter for the future. But without fame and honor, kneeling before others, these days..."
Lin Yutong sighed and asked again, "This Silang... was literate before?"
The Fourth Master nodded, "In the past, there was a clan school in the clan. When Yin Silang was herding cattle, he stole what he learned from his master next to the clan clan school. Everyone in the village knew about this. He didn't herd the cows properly to steal his master.
, and was beaten severely by the old lady.”
I see.
A person who has been eager to learn since he was a child, and now has someone to guide him, can be regarded as somewhat knowledgeable, and others will not feel so out of the ordinary.
The two of them were thinking about the imperial examination along the way. Who knew that as soon as they entered the yard, a big thunder was thrown towards them.
"...My husband is really amazing. There is a banquet at my house today, and all of them are educated people in our county." Mrs. Fan stood in the yard and said excitedly: "It turned out that my husband was at the banquet and looked at the geese in the pond.
, made a good poem.”
"What's a good poem?" the old lady said impatiently, "Read it quickly..."
Mrs. Fan said louder and louder: "Goose, goose, goose, singing to the sky, white hair floats on the green water, and red palms stir the clear waves." As she spoke, she laughed, "Everyone in the house was shocked. Who wouldn't praise our young genius?
…”
Lin Yutong didn't want to listen to anything else she said.
My mind is full of: Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!
The fourth master squeezed Lin Yutong's hand, and Lin Yutong calmed down. Seeing the old lady talking to Fan excitedly, the two of them took their things directly into the second room of the second room.
Yin Laoer was angry, and Qian kept rolling his eyes at him.
"Didn't he compose a poem?" Yin Laoer muttered, "If my son goes to school, he can also compose poems. What an amazing thing. It's not something that a big family spends money to feed..."
Lin Yutong said in his heart, it's really not the case. It comes with the aura of time travel.
Qian saw the two of them first and said "Ah".
Lin Yutong handed the things over, "Mom! I think the old lady is busy. You can keep the things."
Fourth Master sat over, opened the bottle of tea, and made tea for Cheap Daddy to drink.
When Yin Lao Er saw the things, he knew they were not cheap. "I shouldn't accept things from your father-in-law's family." He said in a low voice, "With these things, plus the money secretly given to your wife, Lao Lin's family will be completely compensated."
As he said this, he felt a little complacent, "Don't worry about getting married for you. The time is short, but this candidate is also chosen from thousands of people. People who don't love their daughters can't get married. If you love your daughters, someone will help you from behind. Silly son,
It doesn’t matter whether you want a person’s face or not, the key is to get real benefits.”
The fourth master handed over the tea and listened with a smile. No one could tell whether he listened or not.
Qian left the tea and wine, and gave the snacks and fruits directly to Lin Yutong, and then pointed to the direction of their house, asking Lin Yutong to take the things back and eat them himself.
Lin Yutong quickly put the food into the cabinet and said, "Please keep it, we want to eat it, come and ask mother for it."
Qian raised her hand and touched Lin Yutong's head. It was obvious that she liked Lin Yutong very much.
In the second room, the father, son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are getting along quite harmoniously. The voice of the old lady can be heard outside, "The second wife, the third wife, the second son's wife, and the fourth son's wife are all out. They are cooking. Erlang, go to the town to cut meat. There are some today."
It’s a happy event, let’s hold a tooth ceremony.”
Congratulations to Saburo for writing good poems and winning the favor of many noble people.
Lin Yutong curled his lips and followed Qian out.
In fact, she, like Fourth Master, was thinking about where this history turned and why such a poem never appeared.
In the evening, I made pork stewed vermicelli and the soup was fish head and tofu soup.
The men eat rice and the women eat sorghum.
Of course, Yin Youniang and Fan are exceptions.
Mei, who almost wanted to die because of Saburo the day before, was smiling very attentively, as if the unpleasantness of that day had never happened. However, she probably didn't know about Saburo's dirty thoughts.
Now, what they are interested in is Saburo's bright future.
Fan's food is different, and in everyone's eyes, it has become a matter of course. Husband and wife are honored, sometimes it is so realistic.
During the meal, Lin Yutong ate absent-mindedly.
Sanlang looked at the food on the table and curled his lips vaguely. Pork stewed with vermicelli, is it still a good dish?
Compared with the banquet in the county captain's mansion today, it's just pig food.
Of course, in his opinion, the banquet at the county captain's house was just a table of meat and fish dishes only eaten by country bumpkins. But after being hungry for two days, he actually found such food delicious.
You can't live without money. The most important thing is to make money.
But how to make money? Sorry, he really doesn't know. He has never made a penny since he was a child.
I have read a lot of novels, are you plagiarizing novels? But it is useless just to remember the plot and not write with literary talent. Today's poems were learned in kindergarten, and they are the kind that will never be forgotten in a lifetime. It exists by itself.
The poems in my mind were the ones my mother would force me to memorize when I was in elementary school to please my father. Unexpectedly, they have become a life-saving straw now.
If you don't rely on poetry to become famous, what should you rely on? Imperial examinations? Don't be ridiculous. That thing about classical Chinese, it knows us, but we don't know it.
To be a talented man like Liu Yong, who hangs out in the Qin Tower and Chu Hall, and attracts the admiration of countless beauties, is the path he wants to take.
He was holding the bowl and thinking very far.
The fourth master had no expression on his face, and he ate such delicious food. What he was most anxious about now was to get a set of history books. And even the Lin family might not have history books.
It seems that I have to find a chance to visit the bookstore.
In a place with little information, Yin Silang only knew that the name of the country was ‘Da Ming’ in his memory.
But this Ming Dynasty is definitely not the Ming Dynasty that I know.
Lin Yutong silently swallowed the big fat meat slices that Qian gave him before taking a sip of soup to relieve his tiredness. He heard Sanlang say: "Grandma, I want to go to the county town tomorrow."
The room suddenly became quiet again. Going to the county town costs money.
The old man put down the bowl and said, "Sanlang, the autumn harvest is almost here. It won't be too late to go after the grain is harvested and sold."
The implication is that the family has no money.
Yin Sanlang rolled his eyes inwardly, "Sir, I'm going to do business. I can't delay."
The old man lit his cigarette bag and smoked puff after puff.
"You damn old man, how can you delay your child when he has something serious to do?" The old lady said, "If Saburo can wait, how can those noble people who organize cultural gatherings, talented scholars, and government officials wait too?"
Sanlang quickly said: "Nai, I didn't expect you to have such knowledge."
The old lady was a little embarrassed and her eyebrows were flying. She turned to Lin Laoer and said, "Aren't you two going to work? You can go to Wang Yuan's house later and pay the wages in advance. Don't delay Sanlang's important matters.
