Da Cang night watchman

Chapter 587 Changes in the Border Town
This night, it doesn't matter who brought the tea. The important thing is that on the morning of the first day of the new year, Lin Su woke up in Sister Chen's bed, while Lvyi and Cui Ying lay on Lin Su's bed, sleeping soundly. sweet.

Sister Chen had already woken up, and she tapped her lips on Lin Su's lips lightly: "Sir, Happy New Year."

"If you are happy, I will be happy! Let's have fun now..." Lin Su hugged her waist.

Sister Chen avoided it with a slight smile: "Sister-in-law, it's time to get up, it's the first day of the new year, and there will be New Year's guests later."

Lin Su got up, so did Sister Chen, Lvyi and Cui Ying finally got up, looked at each other blushingly, and hurriedly got dressed...

By the time they met up with Sister Chen and went out to distribute red envelopes, the red envelopes in Lin's mansion had already been distributed several rounds.

After breakfast, the New Year's guests came to the door.

Like last year, Zeng Shigui was the first to visit.

He took Xiuniang with him, and Xiuniang was holding a baby. Under normal circumstances, it is not appropriate to go out and hold a baby for New Year's greetings. Isn't this a reminder to others to give red envelopes?But in the Lin family, it was overturned. The Lin family had so much money that they didn't know how to use it, so they didn't care about the small money. Zeng Shigui didn't care about it, and went directly to the door with his son in his arms.

A few girls gathered together, Quxiu, Yulou, and Xiyuan. This year, Princess Hongying was added. It was the first time for Princess Hongying to celebrate the New Year at Lin's house. Everything was new, and she was with these girls. , so happy to fly.

Yang Zhifu brought his youngest son, Yang Chun, to the door. Yang Chun first paid New Year's greetings to Lin Su and Lin Jialiang, and then went to the west courtyard to find some teachers and wives. Time is not in the west courtyard, you can go to the east courtyard, there are a bunch of people in the east courtyard, anyway, you kowtow to everyone, you don’t need to call them, I guarantee you will earn back your father’s one-year tribute.

The little guy ran away happily.

The three brothers of the Lin family and Zeng Shigui all laughed.

Yang Zhifu's beard trembled a few times, and he finally smiled, and stopped halfway through the smile: "Third Young Master, my son is entrusted to you anyway, is your master teaching him arithmetic or is it a strange thing?" I don't care about "Physics", but don't forget that you promised him to make him promising!"

About this son, Yang Zhifu is really quite entangled.

He sent his son to Lin Su's family, aiming for the golden signboard of Zhuangyuan Lang. The goal was set very clearly from the beginning, and he hoped that Lin Su could make his son's scientific examination journey smoother.

However, things quickly deviated.

Lin Su didn't teach anything about the scientific examination, and pushed Yang Chun into the class for a whole year.

Finally, when the class expired, Lin Su started a new class for the second grade, and he didn't know what kind of tea he had given his son. Anyway, this little guy is now holding a book of "Physics" and forgetting to eat and sleep, so this old man I really don't know what to say.Comrade Lao Yang has really read this "Physics". Some of the knowledge in it is completely clouded and foggy, and it seems to be unfathomable, but no matter how advanced this thing is, it is not something for scientific research...

"You still want to let him take the scientific examination?" Lin Su asked Lao Yang, holding a teacup.

"What do you mean I'm single-minded? Shouldn't you be single-minded?" Yang Zhifu was angry: "You are his master!"

"Okay, okay, you and I have the same idea on a large level, and we are all for him to become a talent. So, which scientific examination do you want him to take?"

Yang Zhifu said: "It's this year!"

This year is the year of the scientific examination again. In February, the county will select children, in June, the township will select talents, in October, there will be electors, and in May next year, it will be the palace examination that will attract the attention of all the people.

"Yang Chun is only 14 years old, right? Don't you think it's too early?"

Yang Zhifu shook his head: "Where is the 14-year-old scientific examination early? Isn't it the right time?"

Lin Zheng, Lin Jialiang and Zeng Shigui next to him also deeply agree, because it is not too early to embark on the scientific examination at the age of 14, and the whole Dacang is actually like this. Most of the students’ first scientific examinations are all 15 years old Before, there were 14, 13, and even 9-year-old child prodigies.

Everyone’s usual cognition is: the road to the scientific examination can be early, because the road behind is too bumpy. Three years have passed for one card in the provincial examination, and one card for the general examination. It has been another three years. Some people have passed the imperial examination. There are more than ten times, with an interval of three years every year. Just like this, the three years will be moved step by step. On the day when you are a Jinshi, you may be 40 or [-] years old.

"You can see 14-year-old Tongsheng everywhere, but Mr. Yang, have you ever heard of a 15-year-old Jinshi?" Lin Su asked.

Whether it was Yang Zhifu, Lin Jialiang or Zeng Shigui, they all shook their heads.

In the entire Great Cang, so far, in the span of a thousand years, there has never been a 15-year-old Jinshi.

"Do you know why 14-year-old Tongsheng is easy to get, but 15-year-old Scholars are hard to find?" Lin Su said: "It's just because Tongsheng is only tested for talent, and the latter three tests are more about experience. A 14-year-old child can What kind of insights do you have on major military and state affairs? What kind of thinking do you have on people's livelihood? Therefore, I do not recommend that Yang Chun take the scientific examination this year. I prefer him to gradually improve his knowledge system in the fields he is interested in. Jiang Tan is slowly increasing his experience. In the next session, he will be 17 years old, with a fixed personality and good experience. I will teach him the skills of scientific examinations, so that he is expected to complete the whole process from the county examination to the imperial examination in one and a half years. !"

Lin Jialiang's eyes brightened: "Master Yang, I think what the third brother said makes sense!"

Zeng Shigui said: "Yes, Mr. Yang, Brother Lin himself completed the course in one and a half years. He entered the scientific examination at the age of 19, and became famous all over the world at the age of 20. This is a lot of accumulation. Next time, if Yang Chun It’s just another miracle for Da Cang, the 18-year-old Jinshi Confucian broke the thousand-year record!”

Although Yang Zhifu still felt uneasy, he was dazzled by the beautiful picture scroll drawn by the two of them. He stretched out his hand and took out the Lin family's silver jug ​​of wine: "Come on, third son, I will make this gentlemen's agreement with you." Don’t expect Chun’er to be a Jinshi in the next term, but within three years, the Yang family will build a Longevity Temple for you…”

"Damn! You bring me a Longevity Temple for the Chinese New Year... How can I drink this glass of wine?"

When there was a commotion, Xiaotao came over: "My lord, Miss Ge Xin from Prince Chen's Mansion just came to pay New Year's greetings to Madam, and gave her a very important gift."

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Prince Chen's mansion sent someone over to pay New Year's greetings?
We need to know that the power of feudal ethics is still strong, and the rules are still very strict.

New Year's greetings are the culmination of various etiquettes.

Shangguans don’t give New Year’s greetings to subordinate officials first, and elders don’t give New Year’s greetings to juniors first. Even if they are of the same generation, there is an elder. No matter how high he is, how much his brothers admire him, nothing can subvert this.

In addition, the first day of the first month is the year of close relatives.

For those who are in general contact, New Year greetings will be arranged after the second day of the first month, and those who visit the New Year on the first day of the first month are all relatives.

Chen Wang sent Ge Xin to come to pay New Year's greetings today, which is a kind of subversion.

Although he himself did not come, even though Ge Xin was just a girl, Lin Su knew that Ge Xin was Chen Wang's confidante, and could almost represent Chen Wang himself.

This courtesy is a bit too big.

Yang Zhifu said: "Third Young Master, the annual ceremony of King Chen is a bit heavy. Third Young Master has to go to Chen Wang's Mansion to pay homage today."

"Alright then, I'll go!"

He walked out of the Tingyu Pavilion, and bumped into Sister Chen, who had just sent Ge Xin away...

"Sister Chen, let's go to Prince Chen's Mansion."

Sister Chen nodded, went back to the West Courtyard, took the gift that had been prepared, Lin Su stepped into the air, swept across the sky with Sister Chen in her arms, and flew towards Meiling.

The weather is fine today.

But the snow in the four fields has not disappeared.

Especially in Meiling, the red plums are blooming, and there are a little snowflakes on them. The whole Meiling is pure and delicate.

At the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion, a red couplet was pasted up...

The first couplet: Messi thousands of miles around the East River; the second couplet: Lingnan thousands of years north wind sink.

The confrontation is extremely neat and full of charm.

It seems to be just a description of the scenery, but it cleverly connects the southeast and northwest, revealing a heroic spirit.

In the past year, Chen Wang has changed a lot, and he is already proud!

Not bad!

The door of the palace opened, and the old butler stepped out: "The third son is here in person, how dare you be? The third son has auspicious Chinese New Year."

"You are old and auspicious!" Lin Su replied, "How is your lord?"

"Haha, look at what you said, third son, the moment you arrive, the lord's mood is naturally as bright as spring... My son, please, please!"

Walking along the garden of the nine bends and eighteen chapters of the palace, feeling the fragrance of plum blossoms floating in the cold wind, the small lake in the palace is in front of you, a figure sits in the pavilion in the center of the lake, the curtain hangs down, and the hand Holding a wine glass, he looked to the west quietly, the wind blowing, his hair was blown up with the wind, but his person, glass and eyes did not move, as if he was wandering in the sky.

"The prince is over there, the young master can go on his own."

This is Lin Su's particularity.

When ordinary people see the prince, they naturally have to report to the prince, but when he arrives, the notification is waived. The housekeeper will point out a place, and you can go by yourself.

Lin Su set foot on the Huxin Pavilion step by step, but Chen Wang didn't seem to notice at all...

Lin Su came behind him, and smiled softly: "The new year is here, the remaining snow has not disappeared, and the wild land is like a poem and a picture, but you are frowning deeply?"

There is no respectful title, no politeness, only relaxation and coziness.

Chen Wang slowly turned sideways, his eyes fell on his face: "Have you noticed that snow is really a strange thing."

"What's so strange?" Lin Su sat down next to him, feeling overwhelmed, poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and also poured a cup for Sister Chen who was standing behind Lin Su.

The four of them don't need to be taboo at all, and they haven't needed it from the beginning.

"This snow looks extremely holy and seems to have no impurities, but it conceals the filth. Under the calm snow surface, no one knows whether there is an undercurrent."

Sister Chen's heart moved slightly, and Chen Wang was about to get to the point.

Lin Su naturally understood better: "Something happened?"

"Something happened, just last night!" Chen Wangdao: "It's about the northern border!"

Lin Su's heart skipped a beat. What happened at the border of the northern country on New Year's Eve yesterday?He clearly remembered that on last year's New Year's Eve, a major event happened at the border of the Northern Kingdom, an unparalleled event. Li Xiaotian forged a military order and sent troops out of Dragon City, which caused an uproar. As a result, the layout of the court changed, and the Luocheng alliance changed. The four towns in the north have changed because of this, and this New Year's Eve will be directly recorded in the annals of history!
This year Li Xiaotian played a big one again?
