That's right, don't be afraid of delaying your studies this time, take care of yourself, it's just as bad as those days.Uncle Cheng Lin also echoed.In this generation of the clan, Brother Xu is the most talented in reading, and it depends on Brother Xu if he succeeds.The cousin of the second grandfather's family laughed and teased.What kind of stupid words, is there no one in the clan except Brother Xu, and Brother Xu works hard, so no one else has to be motivated!
The second grandfather looked at the grandson with a hippie smile and reprimanded.When the cousin heard this, he lowered his head and did not dare to speak again.Linjia Village is the largest village under the thumb slope, with the back of the thumb peak, and the official road is a two-mile walk at the entrance of the village.Most of the people in the village are surnamed Lin, and the ancestral hall of the Lin family is built in the center of the village and is the best building in the village.The Lin family is said to have moved at the end of the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately the country has changed so many surnames, and the real written records can be traced back to the previous dynasty.The Lin family is an heirloom by farming, and there are people in each generation of the previous dynasty who have made a name for themselves, but the foundation is shallow, and most of them are sesame mung beans or official positions that are not in the stream.It wasn't until Lin Fangxu's family was in the period of Emperor Yang of the former dynasty that they made an example, and they have always been the imperial envoy of the left deputy capital of the three products.Emperor Yang was desolate and mediocre, greedy for pleasure, the government was controlled by traitors, the land annexation was serious, the people were not able to make a living, the national government and military were weakened, and the slaves were eyeing him.In the twelfth year of Emperor Yang, there was a large-scale drought in the country, and the army was in turmoil, and the emperor still ignored the government and indulged in the harem.It was also this year that Lin Yushi sent his family away, carried a thin coffin, and beat the drum.After denouncing Emperor Yang's appointment of traitors, ignoring the government and politics, extravagance and other shortcomings, he crashed to death outside the noon gate.Although the ancestors have won a piece of praise in Shilin Qingliu, they have even left their names in the history books.But in the end, it was Emperor Yang who was evil, after Emperor Yang's death, until the death of the declining emperor, no one in the Lin clan could enter the examination room.Mengnu invaded Beijing, the declining emperor fled south, Zhenbei Hou pacified the north, proclaimed himself emperor in Beijing, established the Great Wei, and the year name Hongwu.After Emperor Hongwu ascended the throne, when Luan drove by the noon gate, he pointed to the Dengwen drum and said to the civil and military officials behind him: In the past, when Lin Yushi sounded this Dengwen drum, it resounded throughout the capital and was deafening.Lin Yushi was brave and loyal, worried about the country and the people, but unfortunately Emperor Yang was mediocre.I don't dare to learn from Emperor Yang, but I don't know if I am lucky enough to have such a loyal minister.After opening Enke, the Lin clan was finally able to re-enter the examination room.After Emperor Hongwu, the new emperor ascended the throne and changed the name of the year to Jianwen, which is now the fifth year of Jianwen.Chapter 3 Lin Fangxu's house is a blue brick courtyard house, and next to the gate is a utility room for farm tools.Seeing that there was a donkey cart inside, I thought that the eldest brother and brother-in-law had already arrived home.Lin Fangxu put down the basket and hoe, turned around and planned to close the courtyard door, but saw his nephew Ermu running from the intersection and shouted: Uncle help!
Bao's goose wants to rob me of my snacks!
Sure enough, this kid was followed by a big white goose, with its neck stretched out and its wings fluttering and whirring.Tut!
This is worth it, this stupid goose dares to offend Lin Xiaoju in the future.Lin Fangxu sat on the threshold, waiting for the tearful little lifter to run in front of him, and then he picked him up and waved away the goose.Uncle, you didn't help me avenge just now, and you laughed at me!
Ermu pouted and said accusatory.Didn't I help you get rid of it?
Besides, where did I laugh.No wonder this kid is the most outstanding among the juniors in the previous life, look at this keen energy.The corners of your mouth are crooked, and your eyes are smiling.Hey!
If you go to Dali Temple in the future, it is estimated that you will be like a fish in water!
Lin Fangxu hurriedly said: You are not at home so late, why did you go outside, did you tell your father.Still carrying snacks, you are going to Bao's house to show off!
Lin Ermu, the famous Lin Xiuhao is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and immediately said that he forgave his uncle, and the uncle didn't want to tell his father to go to Bao's house, Lin Fangxu carried him into the hall with satisfaction.In the hall, the eldest brother and his father sat on the main seat and said something, and the mother sat next to her, holding the eldest brother's young son, Miki, in her arms.Lin Fangxu greeted his eldest brother and ran to tease his little nephew.Yikes!
My brother has a lot of teeth.Futaki hasn't seen his brother in a few months.I'll see, oops!
Hurry up, dare to bite your uncle!
Lin Fangxu stretched out his hand to break his nephew's mouth, but was bitten by the little guy.Stinky boy!
Deserve!
Mother Lin said with a smile.Father Lin and the others stopped talking, and watched with a smile.Lin Fangqin looked at his younger brother Zhile, there is a big age difference between him and his younger brother, the younger brother is an old parent, not only his parents spoil him very much, but he is the same.The son is naughty and has to do it, the younger brother will never dare to do it, and the younger brother has always been very sensible.Looking at Brother Xu'er's real strength, it seems that it is good, is it time to go back to the academy to work hard.Lin Fangqin teased.Lin Fangxu has now confirmed that he has probably experienced a lifetime, and the golden silk tea is an important physical evidence, and the extra knowledge in his head is the evidence.Although he seems to have taken a head start now, his fame still has to be tested step by step, and it is better to go back to the academy as soon as possible, but he pretended to regret it: I thought I could play for a few more days, the eldest brother is really staring at it, when will the eldest brother and brother-in-law return to the county?
Lin Fangqin didn't care about his pretense, and replied: My father-in-law went to Hangzhou to reconcile the accounts, and the shop was going to be closed for a few days, so I just helped to go back after planting the seedlings.Lin Fangxu was so happy: Then I'll help at home too!
When the time comes, let's go back with my brother and brother-in-law.By the way, I remember that the academy didn't take a break in the past two days, why didn't the second brother come back?
After listening to him, Lin Fangqin frowned and said: He said that there is something to participate in in Jinhua Mansion, leave him alone.Lin Fangxu saw that his eldest brother was displeased, so he stopped asking.The second brother is very elegant, and he is tired of the career economy.was first forced by the eldest brother, and then persuaded by Ai Xiaoya, until he was in his forties, before he became a showman, and was also affected by Ai Xiaoya.Daddy, dinner is ready, give me Miki.The brother-in-law came in to pick up the child, and the family went to the dining hall.After all, the Lin family has been in and out of Jinshi, and there are still a few more rules than a real farmer, at least the food at the dinner table is still fastidious.Even Miki sat obediently on a small circle chair and quietly nibbled on a small snack.After dinner, they went back to their rooms.Lin Fangqin and Zhao Shiyue took away the three children, and after grooming the children, they had time to talk when the children fell asleep.Zhao Shiyue asked while sorting out the change of clothes he brought back: Just now my younger brother and sister asked me how my second brother is in the academy, and my second brother is always very busy, and Xiu Mu does not return to his hometown.Fortunately, the younger siblings were born at the end of the year, and the academy was also on holiday.Will the second brother still take the exam next year?
Is the little brother going?
I heard that my husband often praises the third brother.The second brother will definitely go, as for the third brother, the grade is still young, let's listen to the opinion of the gentleman.Lin Fangqin leaned on the head of the bed and replied.Seeing that the husband wanted to speak and stopped, the husband for many years, what didn't he understand.He didn't want his husband to have any pimples in his heart, so he sighed slightly and said: Yueyue, I know what you want to say.The Lin family was also considered an official eunuch family a few generations ago, and the elders always couldn't let go of the glory of the past.How can I be willing to be like this, but unfortunately I am really not the material for the imperial examination, so I can only barely support my younger brothers to get ahead, but I have not had a good life with Yueyue with me.Zhao Shiyue listened to her husband's words, her eyes were red, she threw herself into his arms and said: I don't think it's a bad time now, and I also know that even if my younger brothers only get a show in the exam, it will have a lot of benefits for the family.But the little income in the field is not much, the second brother has not passed the county examination twice, and he refuses to find a livelihood, and he doesn't know if he can provide the third brother for the imperial examination with your little income.Uncle said that the third brother is very talented, so he can't delay.Zhao Shiyue looked at Xianggong and listened carefully, all of them were displeased, and pretended to sigh with emotion: Hey~ This imperial examination is really piled up with money, and now it is just a child's test, if you can go to Hangzhou or even the capital in the future, you don't know how much it will cost, no wonder many people in the clan do not insist on the imperial examination.Last time, I heard Tian's sister-in-law say that her mother's cousin is also a scholar, and there are many children in the family, and the expenses are large, so her cousin went to work as an account for a north and south shop, and he still plans to take the exam next year.After listening to this, Lin Fangqin almost laughed out loud, the husband said so much, most of them were because his father-in-law introduced an errand to the second brother last time, and he was disgusted by the second brother and pushed away.Lin Fangqin actually felt that the second brother was about to become a father, and it was not appropriate to stay in the academy all the time.Seeing that his wife was not asleep yet, most of them were waiting for his reply, so he replied: Let's talk about it after the exam next year, if the second brother is not successful, I will persuade him to find a job first.Zhao Shiyue was relieved after hearing this, his father was a twin son, and he was raised like a man since he was a child, and he didn't know the importance of the imperial examination.No matter how much money ordinary businessmen make, they are sheep shaved by others.He just doesn't think about his second brother, he hasn't passed the county test twice, it's nothing, the imperial examination is just a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops.But the problem is that his high-minded and selfish personality is really unlikeable.Besides, what's wrong with bookkeeping, Xianggong is also an accountkeeper!
In comparison, the younger brother has been smart, sensible and flexible since he was a child, but it is more worth looking forward to.If the family is for two scholars, even if the income of the husband is added, it is stretched, and it seems that Mu Mu will go to school in two years.Xianggong is the eldest son, and he has always been stable and assertive, and his parents don't take care of things very much, most of the time Xianggong is in charge, since Xianggong promised to persuade, then he will not be a villain.Lin Fangxu didn't know that his brother-in-law thought so highly of himself, if he knew, he would probably only say: Brother-in-law, you really have vision!
He is lying on the bed now, his eyes are empty, cough cough is certainly not in a daze, he is summing up his life.He is an old man, his parents have spoiled him since he was a child, and his elder sister has let him.When he entered the school, others would recite him a few times before he would recite it, and the gentleman praised and the elders praised him.When he was a teenager, he was confident and flamboyant, and he felt that he would definitely be able to live up to the reputation of his ancestors, and lead the family to Shilin again, but his ambition was folded halfway, and he didn't know if the heavy responsibility of winning glory for the family fell on Ermu.For the death of the previous life, he did not feel resentful like Da Rong.Huan Hai ups and downs, if you lose, you lose, since you devote yourself to this, you must always be able to afford to play, at least he is dead, and his family is saved.He didn't feel much guilt about poisoning his wife and only son in his previous life, husband and wife are one, father and son, isn't it?
In his previous life, he didn't have much thought about who to marry, so Ai Xiaoya calculated his marriage, and he didn't say much.There is no mustard for Liu Mingzhu, and the respect that his wife should have is given.He didn't want to complain about anything, but he would never marry Liu Mingzhu again in this life.Not to mention her handsome brother with low eyes, and her father who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, she herself is also a confused character.When she was released to Yunnan, she stayed in the capital under the pretext that the child was still young, and later sent someone to pick her up several times and did not go.When he came back after six years in office, her only son was raised by her to be lawless, playing with the maid all day long, and later staying in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion.Every time he started to teach a lesson, she cried again, and her son hid when he saw him, and no matter how soft his heart was, he was ground up.He really hated Ai Xiaoya.This spirit is probably from another world, and all her thoughts and actions are always so out of place and pretentious.The second brother tried and failed repeatedly, she stayed in her hometown with her, and she didn't make any waves, but the second brother just won a show, and she can bring you tired to the point of no return.If the second sister-in-law in this life will still become Ai Xiaoya, then he will never let her stay in the Lin family.In general, if you can start over for a lifetime, God will be kind to you in the end.He plans to take the county exam next year, and it is imperative to get fame as soon as possible, and everything else is empty talk.Chapter 4 Lin Fangxu summarized the past, looked forward to the future, and greeted the next day with great ambitions, but unfortunately reality gave him a head start, telling him that living longer is not omnipotent.Brother Xu, look at what you have planted, it's strange that this seedling can live.Father Lin said with a frown.Lin Fangxu raised his head and looked at the crooked seedlings in front of him, slowly floating in the waves, floating on the water.He felt that his forty-year-old soul had been hit, and sure enough, he would not be able to learn to plant rice in his first life.Zhao Shiyue saw that he went back to help up the fallen seedlings, but just turned around and fell again.Although I don't know why my little brother is rushing to plant rice today, I still can't help but smile and say to him: Brother Xu, it takes a lot of effort to draw water, your eldest brother has stepped on the waterwheel for a long time, you go and change him.Lin Fangxu had to go to the river to change the eldest brother.The waterwheel by the river is a double person, and the second cousin of Hugh Mu, Lin Fangqi, is also on it.Seeing Lin Fangxu coming over, Lin Fangqi smiled and said: Brother Xu, aren't you planting seedlings?
What's wrong with it?
Lin Fangxu rolled his eyes and replied seriously: I think people must not only have the courage to try, but also be good at self-reflection, so that they can know what they are good at and what they are not good at.So you find that you're better at drawing water?
Lin Fangqi laughed.Lin Fangxu didn't want to talk to this superficial person anymore.Lin Fangqi is Lin Fangxu's cousin, and Lin Bingguang, the current patriarch of the Lin family, is the great-great-grandson of Lin Yushi and the elder brother of Lin Fangxu's grandfather Lin Bingzong.The grandfather is now in his seventies, and he is still full of enthusiasm when he teaches people.Their generation all survived the famine and war, and the grandfather had several children, but in the end only one son and one daughter lived.His grandfather is said to have been smart since he was a child and read books well, but he was not in good health and passed away before the new dynasty.After the death of the grandfather, the grandmother also went with him the following year, when the father had just married and relied on the help of the grandfather.The eldest grandmother passed away a few years ago, and although the eldest grandfather is now the patriarch, most of the time it is the eldest Berlin who is in charge.Lin Fangxu's father's generation, when he was born, there were a series of natural disasters and wars, and it was not easy to survive, where did he have the leisure to study.After the southern surrender, only Da Berlin Chengwen, who had just passed the imperial examination, participated in the imperial examination, passed the hospital examination, and became a showman.Later, he participated in the township examination three times, and was promoted in the last township examination before the death of Emperor Hongwu, but the ranking was low, and the age was also older, so he stopped thinking about the re-examination and enlightened the children in the clan.If the children in the clan are over the age of five and want to study, they will be sent to the clan school for the uncle to enlighten.After enlightenment, if you want to take the imperial examination, you have to go to the private school of the county academy to study, Lin Fangxu and his brothers are all classmates of the uncle, Xu Juren.It stands to reason that the uncle is a lifter, and he can also teach Cheng Wen, but once the uncle is older, he has to manage clan affairs, and his energy is not good.Second, the uncle felt that he had fallen behind in the township examination, and it was a fluke to be able to lift people, and he was afraid of the wrong student.The uncle was busy studying in his early years, and he got married late, and the eldest aunt was the daughter of Xiucai, and there was a younger brother in the family who was promoted and made up for a county in another place.Lobby Gelin Fangde, twenty-six this year, two years younger than the eldest brother, honest, soft-eared, barely finished learning "Thousand Character Text" and "Hundred Family Names", so he stopped studying and managed the fields at home.married the daughter of Liu Dahu in the next village, and already has two daughters and a son.The uncle's family has more land, nearly 300 acres, and there are two shops in the city.Most of the land was tenanted out, leaving a few acres to take care of by himself.The eldest grandfather often said that although the Lin family does not need to go to the field to dig in person, they must know that the crops are hard, so the men of the Lin family have all gone to the ground except for the second brother.The second cousin, Lin Fangshu, is already married and married to a showman.The second cousin, Lin Fangqi, is eighteen this year, and he has never passed the county test once in the next session.The second cousin was only admitted to the Jinshi at the age of thirty-three, and then went out to Yunnan to be a magistrate.When I was a child, I took Lin Fangxu to be naughty in the village, and when I was studying, I took Lin Fangxu to be mischievous in the school, and the two of them could wear a pair of pants if they had a good relationship.Among his peers, he is the most trusted person by Lin Fangxu except for his eldest brother.Lin Fangxin, the eldest uncle's old daughter, is three years younger than Lin Fangxu.The whole family is very spoiled, and it has become an innocent self, and it has only become such an ending in the last life.Busy until noon, Mu Mu took Ermu to call everyone back for dinner.After lunch, it was the hottest time, and he was not in a hurry to go to the ground, after all, the Lin family did not really rely on these few acres of land to chew.The ladies all went to take a nap, and the father and son sat under the eaves to enjoy the coolness.Lin Fangxu thought that he was going to take the county exam next year, and he still had to say hello to his father and eldest brother in advance, so he said: Daddy, big brother, I plan to take the county exam with my second brother next year.Try it early, even if you don't win, you should still accumulate experience.His father is famous, an only son, as frail as his grandfather, he has more snacks than food, and his health has improved when he is an adult, although he is still thin and weak, but he is not sick or sick.
