The next morning, when Lin Jue was packing his backpack, packing books, and preparing things for studying in the academy on the corridor, Lin Boyong ordered a servant to ask Lin Jue to speak.
Lin Jue knew that the things given to Lin Ke and the others last night must have been in the hands of Lin Boyong. Lin Ke and the others would not withhold those things. After all, it would be too obvious. Moreover, these oral testimonies can be written again.
Lin Jue could definitely call the woman from Wangyue Tower to Lin's house to prove it to him, so he couldn't hide the matter.
Entering Lin Boyong's study, Lin Boyong, who had had a morning tea party, was changing clothes under the service of his maid. In the morning, he was going to Prince Liang's Mansion to meet Prince Liang, and asked him to go to the secret room of the Lin family warehouse to see the two pieces of clothing that had been brought from the country after all the hard work.
The treasures brought back. To meet the King of Liang, he had to dress up grandly, so Lin Boyong trimmed his beard and specially put on the blue silk floral gown that he only liked. This gown was made by Long Qingxiang, a time-honored clothing store in the capital.
The craftsmanship of the chief tailor is a master who specializes in making clothes for the palace. This gown fits well and is decent, low-key but not cheap, luxurious but restrained.
Lin Jue stood on the corridor of the study and saluted respectfully: "My nephew Lin Jue has met the master of the house."
Lin Boyong opened his arms and let the maid tie the buttons for him. Hearing this, he turned his head and said, "Lin Jue? Come in and talk."
Lin Jue thanked him and walked into the house. This large second-entry study was where Lin Boyong rested before going out. The entire study was as big as Lin Jue's small courtyard. It was surrounded by bookshelves. But there were no books on the bookshelf mountain.
Not much, there are more antique ornaments on the shelves, and there are also many strange things bought from the country. Several huge screens of landscapes, flowers and birds divide the study into two, and a large desk is placed on it.
In front of the screen, Lin Jue saw at a glance the stack of oral testimonies he had given to Lin Ke last night, placed on the table.
After getting dressed, Lin Boyong dismissed the maid, walked behind the desk and sat down. He pointed at the stack of papers and said, "Lin Jue, this is what you handed over to me last night from Tolin Ke. This morning,
Lin Ke handed it over to me, and I have read it. I understand the matter clearly. Well... I didn't expect that there was such an inside story. You should have made it clear on the day of the court hearing."
Lin Jue cupped his hands and said, "Master, you really blamed me for not making it clear that day. It was my fault."
Lin Boyong was very satisfied with Lin Jue's answer and said with a smile: "You're right, you didn't want to talk empty talk, so you got ten sticks. Your stubborn temper is a bit like your father. That's all, since this matter
There was a misunderstanding and the family law was wrongly handled, so we can't make any more mistakes. Even if we get those ten sticks, they won't come back. But the punishment of monthly suspension of hair can be cancelled. On the day of the court training next month, I will tell everyone in the family
My disciple, please explain this matter and clear your name."
Lin Jue bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Master."
Lin Boyong said: "You have indeed been wronged in this matter. Let's do this. If you want any compensation, you can tell me."
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "My nephew is very grateful for the kindness of the master of the house. But I don't need to compensate him. It's all a misunderstanding. It would be better if this matter gets over as soon as possible."
Lin Boyong smiled and said: "Very good, you know the general situation very well. So, are you going to Songshan Academy to study tomorrow? I'll have someone prepare a car for you so that you can come in and out in the morning and evening. What do you think?"
Lin Jue wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he thought it was a good compensation. In the Lin family, not everyone can ride in special carriages and horses. The Lin family only has them in the rooms of Lin Boyong and several young masters.
There are only more than ten cars in total. Men and their families sometimes have to take sedans when going out because they can't go wrong. If there are cars and horses to travel, not only can it not be too hard to run to the academy in the morning and evening, but also
It showed the improvement of his status in the Lin family. Although this improvement was just an illusion, Lin Jue didn't care.
"Thank you very much, Master. My nephew is very grateful."
"Okay, let's do it this way. Lin Jue, I know that you may have received some cold treatment and suffered some injustice. But in my eyes, all the children of the Lin family are treated equally. You cannot write two characters "林" in one stroke.
, our Lin family has continued to dominate here for hundreds of years, because most of the descendants of our Lin family consciously protect the Lin family. In the past, some ancestors of the Lin family were even willing to die to protect the safety of other members of the family. Because of this
Only in this way can we have the brand name of our Lin family that has stood firm for hundreds of years. In fact, my requirements for the children of the Lin family are not very high. To sum up, in one sentence, all the children of the Lin family, regardless of their abilities, must work hard to achieve their goals.
The Lin family has a great reputation and strives to do its best. Only those with great ability will do their best, and those with little ability will do their best. All descendants of the Lin family must sincerely unite with the same goal, and slander, slander or even betrayal is strictly prohibited. Under family rules and laws,
Only when everyone abides by self-discipline can we work together. Not to mention bullying each other, and even conspiracy and frame-up. Once these behaviors are discovered, the Lin family will never be compatible and will be expelled from the family and will be severely punished by national laws." Lin Boyong's eyes widened.
He looked at Lin Jue with a sharp look.
Lin Jue sneered in his heart. Lin Boyong's words were high-sounding, but they were all empty talk. He wanted the children of the Lin family to obey the master absolutely without any violation. This in itself was a coercive act that dehumanized humanity. This was not the case in the Zhou Dynasty.
High pressure, the Lin family is under high pressure. And the last few words he said were obviously warning. Lin Jue could smell it. Lin Boyong was telling himself that if you dare to disobey the rules, the consequences will be extremely serious.
.
"Lin Jue will take the family master's instruction to heart. My nephew has only one question, I don't know whether to say it or not."
"Oh? You said."
"My nephew feels that since the head of the family said that the Lin family's children should serve the Lin family fully, then the Lin family has thought about doing something for the children."
"What do you mean by this?" Lin Boyong frowned.
"Forgive my nephew for speaking frankly. The children of the Lin family are struggling to make a living, so how can they have the desire to serve the family? The people in the warehouse know the etiquette, and the food and clothing are enough, they know the honor and disgrace. How can the whole family work together when the livelihood problem is worrying? Although the master's family provides
Each house is given a monthly stipend, but this monthly stipend is just enough to make a living. The brothers outside the house must study and take the exam, but in fact many of them are not good at studying. In order to respond to the call of the family head, they can only go to school, but in the end nothing will be achieved. It is better to go there.
Looking for other ways to make a living can help his wife and children have enough food and clothing to make a living without worries. The head of the family said that those with little ability should do their best. The nephew felt that if the outsider could bring peace to the family, he would have done a small job for the family. The head of the family wanted everyone to do his best.
To work hard, it is necessary for everyone to make the best use of their talents, rather than to study and take exams. For example, in this private school, in fact, it only needs to set up a school to educate the children of the family. Select the talents that can be cultivated, concentrate financial resources, and invest in those outside who can cultivate talents.
Studying in a private academy is the right way, rather than putting a group of people in a private school and letting a group of mediocre teachers teach them. Even geniuses become mediocre in private schools."
Lin Jue was a little excited, and he couldn't hold back his words all of a sudden. He said a lot of words. Lin Boyong looked quite embarrassed, and his brows had long been wrinkled, but Lin Jue didn't notice. In Lin Boyong's view, Lin Jue was so embarrassed.
He was accusing himself of inappropriate actions in taking charge of the Lin family. The points mentioned were the actions that Lin Boyong was most proud of, but they all became inappropriate for Lin Jue. One can imagine the unhappiness in Lin Boyong's heart.
"Lin Jue, you are thinking too much. I only want everyone to do their duty, but I don't want everyone to point fingers. Wouldn't the Lin family be in chaos?"
Lin Jue suddenly became alarmed and secretly cursed himself: "You are so stupid. In his eyes, you are nothing. He is just a little guilty because of the improper handling of the court training. You really think that he doesn't care about his identity?
Treating yourself and everyone else the same. So stupid.”
"I'm really sorry that my nephew is talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart. Does the master have anything else to teach you? If not, my nephew will leave." Lin Jue restrained his sharpness and bowed.
Lin Boyong waved his hand and said: "You go ahead. By the way, say hello to Fang Daru for me and tell him that I, Lin Boyong, have admired him for a long time and hope to visit him if I have the opportunity."
"Nephew must bring the message to me. Nephew, please leave." Lin Jue bowed again and walked out quickly.
All the way to the vestibule, Lin Jue was still blaming himself for being too bookish, saying things he shouldn't have said, and exposing his innermost feelings. This would make Lin Boyong even more wary of him.
When he was feeling regretful, he suddenly looked up and saw a man dressed in short clothes and wrapped in bandages lying on a soft chair in the yard. That man also saw Lin Jue, he was Huang Changqing. After being beaten last night, Huang Changqing
He could no longer walk, but in order to express his attitude of serving the Lin family even if he died, he ordered someone to carry him to the front yard to prepare a carriage and horses for Lin Boyong. In fact, he wanted to win sympathy in front of Lin Boyong. But he did not expect to meet Lin Jue.
The moment their eyes met, Huang Changqing's eyes were filled with fire.
Lin Jue smiled and stepped forward, cupping his hands and saying, "Hello, Butler Huang."
"Humph!" Huang Changqing snorted angrily.
"Huang Guanjia, Dr. Zhang from Fu Ren Tang is the best at treating this kind of injury. The Panax notoginseng and Wuhua ointment he prepared is very effective. I used this last time and got out of bed in two days. I recommend Huang Guanjia to use this.
You can recover soon." Lin Jue said with a smile.
"Master Lin Jue, please don't bother. Also, don't call me housekeeper, I am no longer a housekeeper." Huang Changqing said coldly.
"What a pity. Butler Huang is an indispensable person in our Lin family. This is really a pity." Lin Jue smacked his lips.
"It's not because of your gift, but because of your powerful methods, I'm willing to be inferior." Huang Changqing said coldly.
Lin Jue chuckled. He leaned forward and whispered: "If you didn't mess with me, how could you be today? You brought this on yourself. Remember my words, and when you regain the trust of the family master in the future, you will do whatever you want to do."
Don't mess with me. Otherwise you will be even worse than you are today."
When Huang Changqing changed color and opened his mouth to speak, Lin Jue had already turned around and walked quickly from the side door to the west courtyard.
