Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

The little devils went out, and the private school didn't have to go to class, so it suddenly freed up time.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Ze is going to take Zhang Yu to the county town to go shopping and have a holiday, and also go to see brother Jun by the way.

The younger brother he recognized halfway looks quiet, but after he gets used to it, he also likes to be lively. Maybe he hasn't made good friends in the county, so he sends letters here every now and then, writing letters with Zhang Yu We had a great time chatting.

Brother Jun's belly was conceived first, and now her belly is very big, and she is expected to give birth during the Chinese New Year. She can't walk around easily, so they can only go to visit her.

Jiang Rongniang also wanted to go and see her son, but the houses in the village were under construction and she needed someone to watch her. Lin Sangui was careless, so she was worried about leaving, so she had to make some snacks that her son loved to pretend to be farmhouses. Let Lin Ze take the things together.

In fact, things like local chicken eggs can be bought outside, but as a mother, I always feel that the things outside are not as good as my own, and it is all out of my heart.

Lin Ze could only hold his forehead and take a group of chirping chickens and ducks on the road.

When he arrived at the county seat, Duan Wensai was still working in the yamen, and only Brother Jun and the servant girl were in the other courtyard.

"Brother, Ah Yu!"

Seeing Lin Ze's sudden arrival, Brother Jun was so happy that he immediately got up from the soft chair and supported his stomach. Seeing that he was about to run away, the maidservant who served beside him turned pale with fright.

Now all the maids and women in other courtyards are bought by Duan Wensai. I don’t know the details of the Duan family’s capital and the past of the master. I only know that the master loves this husband very much. It’s okay for them to do anything wrong, but they must not If you make a mistake in serving your husband and master, otherwise you will be doomed.

Jun Fulang's body is almost 6 months old, and it's the critical time, how can he run and jump so recklessly.

"Brother Jun, my husband and I are here to see you!"

Zhang Yu was also happy to run over when he saw someone. Brother Jun was the second person he fell in love with besides Luo Geer. During this period of time, they wrote letters to each other and chatted happily. It was inevitable to be excited to meet each other.

Lin Ze saw the corners of his eyes twitching in fright, and quickly moved his hands, "You two slow down, my two ancestors..."

The right hand supports the daughter-in-law, the left hand picks up the younger brother, two pregnant husbands and two big ancestors.

"Brother, don't be afraid, it doesn't matter. Our stomachs are not made of ceramics. Don't let me move like the young master. I'm so bored these days."

Brother Jun loves the feeling of elder brother’s care, but he is also very helpless, because the elder brother, like the young master, treats him like a ceramic doll, and if he moves a little, it’s like the sky is falling. Let him walk around more.

Zhang Yu deeply felt the same, felt the same grievance, even more resentful,

"Brother Jun, you don't know that your brother is scarier than your young master. He made me a wheelchair for me to sit in! By the way, he made one for you too..."

Speaking of this chapter, I can't laugh or laugh.

Because I heard that younger brothers are more fragile than girls when they are pregnant, and many younger brothers will lose their first child for no reason, and only the second child can be stabilized. Lin Ze fell into nervous worry, watching him take two more steps outside. Can't do it, I can't wait.

But he had to let people come out to breathe, so Lin Ze thought of an idea and asked a carpenter to order a wheelchair, so that he could push it out to breathe fresh air, which was safe.

When he saw the thing, Zhang Yu felt that a mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat and he almost didn't spit it out.

He's just pregnant, not a broken leg...

Hearing this, Brother Jun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lin Ze, on the other hand, had a serious face, frowning slightly,

"What are you laughing at? Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. The wheelchair is so good. It is necessary to be able to sit and walk. You two are careless and don't pay attention to yourself. Why don't you allow me, who is a father and an uncle, to be more cautious? Two What a big bluff."

Lin Ze was very angry. The two younger brothers were young, and they were inexperienced and careless when they became fathers for the first time. He was really worried.

"Yes, yes, it's us who are bluffing, thank you for your hard work, my husband/brother..."

Zhang Jue and Brother Jun laughed in unison, saying that they disliked them, but their excessive concern was still very useful.

Lin Ze just started laughing, and moved the specially-made chair into the yard triumphantly, as well as the things Jiang Rongniang brought, with quick hands and feet, handsome and gentle appearance, but his behavior did not look like a frail scholar, full of masculinity.

Seeing the unmarried girls and boys in the yard blushes and heart beats.

It's a pity that Lin Ze is a wood who only has his eyes on his wife. Let alone responding, he didn't even notice whether it was a man or a woman when he walked in front of him. He helped Zhang Yu to sit down, went to see Brother Jun's stomach, and asked My brother's recent situation.

He is very familiar with the role of elder brother. After all, he was also the eldest brother in the family before time travel, and he has two younger siblings, so he adapted quickly.

Although Brother Jun had already talked about the situation in the county town when he communicated with Zhang Yu, Lin Ze still wanted to hear it with his own ears, because he could observe whether the other party was lying or concealing things at a close distance, and these words could not reflect it.

With Jiang Rongniang not around, the family couldn't help but worry about Brother Jun being alone.

"Brother Ayu, don't worry, I'm fine here. The young master spoils me very much. He comes back to accompany me every day after finishing his official duties. All outside entertainments are postponed because he can't go out for a while because of his stomach. Didn't make any friends..."

Knowing that the family was worried, Brother Jun told his situation honestly, both good and bad, and did not report good news or bad news.

It can be seen that the other party has not concealed, Lin Ze is relieved,

"Now I am pregnant with the child for a few months. When the new year's child lands and the road is repaired after the year, the distance from the county town to Nanyang Town is only an hour. Come back when you want to come back. Don't bear the grievances here. You remember Come on, brother can still protect you, otherwise parents won't be at ease."

Zhang Yu nodded together, exhorted earnestly, full of confidence,

"Yes, if you are wronged, don't hold back yourself. Go home and tell us that your husband will definitely help you out. Even if you are the magistrate Duan, your brother is capable of getting justice..."

"Understood, if there is any grievance, I will go home and complain to my brother and Ah Yu."

Brother Jun was very happy.

No wonder people like to be younger brothers and sisters. It's really good to have an elder brother to support him. Although the young master will also support him, the mother's family and husband's family are always different.

Duan Wensai protected Lin Ze so much that he didn't worry about any major problems with Brother Jun. He simply told him to bring Jiang Rongniang's greetings, and then took out another gift for his younger brother.

"This is the land deed. The government sold the land this time to raise money to build roads. The price is very good. Your married brother is not here. Now I just took the opportunity to make up for you. The dowry that your natal family gave you has nothing to say...you have to keep it safe. It’s not convenient for my brother to say too much, anyway, remember, these few land deeds, which are only a few hundred taels, may become treasures that will never be exchanged for a thousand dollars in the future.”

More than a thousand gold, Lin Ze can actually say bluntly that as long as the plan goes well, these land deeds will be worth tens of thousands of gold in the future, and maybe even the city.

He didn't tell Duan Wensai too much about his planning and development ideas, but only vaguely revealed that Duan Wensai only knew that if he took the position of Qingshan County Magistrate in the future, he might use these lands and turn them into worth the money.

But Duan Wensai couldn't guess Lin Ze's deeper plans and estimates, and it was impossible to guess, because Lin Ze's ideas and plans were simply whimsical in the eyes of the ancients.

Brother Jun only heard about the land. He knew that his young master used the wasteland to raise a lot of money for use, but he didn't know the importance of the land.

But since his elder brother told him so, he naturally had to take good care of his things.

Besides, this is the dowry given to him by his elder brother, and it is a very important thing for his face and support from his natal family.

Brother Jun smiled happily, carefully holding the box containing the title deed in his arms, looking at Lin Ze full of his brother's dependence,

"Brother and Azhuo miss Jun'er so much, I can't bear to let you go back. Brother and Azhuo will stay with me in the county for a few more days. I will tell you about the capital. When my brother goes to the capital to take the champion exam I won't be afraid to live..."

Zhang Yu likes to hear him talk about the prosperity of the capital, and he immediately jumped up, "Brother Jun, we have 5 days this time, please take your time!"

"You two really have confidence in me..."

Lin Ze laughed when he heard the words, and couldn't help stretching out his hands, grabbing the two little heads of his wife and brother and rubbing them together, enjoying the dependence of being adored.

But the two little brothers really have too much confidence in him, is it so easy to get the champion?He didn't even have confidence in himself, he was satisfied with being able to get the county magistrate's post after taking the Juren test, and for the rest, it really depended on luck.

But Zhang Yu and Jun brothers are very confident.

One is the blind trust in one's own man, and the other is the comparison after seeing the talented men in Beijing. Although Brother Jun has not seen Lin Ze's talents, Lin Ze's thoughts and actions are far beyond those of his peers.

The key point of the imperial examination is not how amazing and brilliant the poems and songs are, but the grasp and decision-making of current events. In this regard, my brother has enough.

"Brother is the dragon lying in the shallows for the time being, and one day he will soar into the sky."

Brother Jun smiled and let Lin Ze rub his hair, enjoying the intimacy from his brother.

Zhang Yu was also smiling all over his face, he never doubted that his husband could not do it.

Lin Ze was overjoyed by the praise.

Being admired by his wife at home and praised by his younger brother outside, he is so easy to talk about, it's really hard to keep his tail up to the sky.

There was laughter and intimacy in the yard.

And the other person who just walked in at the gate of the courtyard saw the woman in the scene of Lin Ze reaching out to rub brother Jun's face in the courtyard with an ugly face and became furious.

"Brother Jun, what are you doing? Well, you actually stole someone behind your husband's back, and it's still in broad daylight!"

Hua Yueshu stood at the door, yelling angrily.

************************

In ancient times, gender was strictly guarded, and there was a saying that there were different seats at the age of seven.

Lin Ze's behavior of rubbing brother Jun's head and hair is nothing in terms of relatives, on the contrary, there is a sense of intimacy and care.

But that's when they know about the relationship, and people who don't know will see it like Hua Yueshu, and misunderstand something. After all, the little brother here is in the position of marrying like a girl.

Hua Yueshu's anger was not really because of Duan Wensai, the husband. They got married because they each got what they needed, and there was no real relationship between men and women.

The reason why she reacted so strongly and was so angry was because she was not convinced.

Originally, she didn't like Brother Jun. The other party was just a humble servant who had been a slave. Although she was a concubine of the Shangshu Mansion, her mother's status was not high. It was embarrassing to investigate carefully, but it was nothing compared to this Let's be strong, Xiao Nu, she is already very frustrated that she has not been able to win the opponent to grab Duan Wensai.

After Duan Wensai's stern warning last time, she finally figured it out after thinking for so many days. After all, no matter how much this little slave is favored, she can't shake her position. Why is she bothering about such a small person? I offended my husband.

So under the guidance of the old woman beside her, she brought her things to the other courtyard today, ready to settle the matter.

Otherwise, the husband has been living in another courtyard and ignores her, where can she go to give birth to a son by herself?

Besides, Fulang Jun is pregnant now, and it is the best time to climb into bed. You can’t be cheaper than other little fairies. She is not uncommon for those aunts in the backyard.

As a result, what Hua Yueshu didn't expect was that she saw this scene when she got there.

Brother Jun is so close to other men in broad daylight, it's too much, she lost to such a guy who knows everything, it's too embarrassing for Miss Shangshu!

"Okay, brother Jun, you are really capable. I want to tell my husband your true face. This time, I will see if he still likes you!"

After getting angry, Hua Yueshu was a little agitated to catch something.

Although she decided to reconcile with Brother Jun, it was forced by reality. She was really unwilling to share the glory and wealth of the man and the Duan Mansion with a small servant, because the identity of this opponent was too low for the stage.

Brother Jun is also very helpless, Mrs. Yue seems to be shrewd this month, but her brain is not very good.

Ordinary people might dote on their concubines and kill their wives, but it is absolutely impossible in the Duan Mansion, a wealthy family like his. No matter how much he is from a family without a deep foundation, being favored is at most just being favored. To whom, because the marriage of a big family involves too many interests behind it, Mrs. Yue always likes to argue with him.

However, when the young master chose Mrs. Yue to marry him, apart from the other party's willingness to accept his existence, he also somewhat liked Mrs. Yue's lack of intelligence.

Brother Jun could only helplessly explain, not wanting to make the relationship too rigid, "Mrs. Yue, that's not the case, he's me..."

"What is it! I've seen it all, don't try to quibble!"

But Hua Yueshu didn't care so much, she was so excited that she finally caught the little braid that overwhelmed others.

If there is a chance to clear the backyard, she must seize the opportunity, because Duan Wensai cares too much about this little servant, and she is always worried. After all, Duan Wensai even dared to contradict his mother because of the other party. Can she not be worried? .

Excited, she didn't notice Zhang Yu who was also big next to her.

The maid beside her saw it, felt that something might be wrong, and wanted to remind the master, but the master was immersed in his own excited world and couldn't pull ten cows back, and the maids were also very helpless.

Lin Ze looked up and down at the woman in Chinese clothes who was yelling recklessly in front of her, and the smile on her face disappeared.

"What's the matter, there's a lot of noise in the yard..."

At this moment, Duan Wensai, who was working in the yamen, also came back.

Because he is worried about his lover staying at home alone, he basically comes back from time to time every day to accompany his lover who is bored at home and his son who is growing up in his belly. The simple and ordinary life is more comfortable than the days of being cautious and intriguing in the capital. too much.

But he didn't want to hear the noise as soon as he arrived at the door, and there was a voice he was quite familiar with. When he entered the door, it turned out to be Hua Yueshu.

Duan Wensai couldn't help rubbing his temples, lamenting for the choice he thought he was smart at the beginning. He knew that stupid ones are more difficult to deal with. He might as well choose a smart one. This woman never does anything serious all day long.

"Husband, you came back just in time. I want to tell you something, Brother Jun is stealing! This is the adulterer, and I caught him on the spot!"

Hua Yueshu was very excited to see the man in charge came back, and immediately came up to complain.

With a smug look on her face, she was waiting to see Duan Wensai get angry and drive people out. From then on, she was the only one in the family.

"It's really outrageous, it's still in broad daylight, my husband, he treats you like a dead person, I dare not do that, steal someone, at least find a secluded place, it's too arrogant..."

Brother Jun and the servant girls serving in the yard were full of embarrassment. To be stupid enough to say such words is also a realm.

Lin Ze folded his hands and looked at Duan Wensai, with a playful smile on his face.

Duan Wensai felt that his face was about to be lost, and he couldn't get angry when he saw his stupid wife.

"Stealing someone, talking nonsense! You think I'm a newcomer and I don't have a joke for others to catch, right? Hua Yueshu, if you have nothing to do all day, go out to watch plays and listen to books, don't mess with me all day long." Okay, you want me to stay here after my term expires, don't you?"

According to this woman's stupid tossing, maybe one day she will really do something unexpected for him, and others will use it as an excuse. There are still many people in the capital who don't want him to go back.

"Husband, it's obviously Brother Jun who made a mistake and stole someone. The adulterer is here. Why don't you say that he is still attacking me? I'm saving face for you. You are really lost by him. ..."

Hua Yueshu felt aggrieved when she complained excitedly and was thrown cold water.

She really didn't understand why Duan Wensai didn't get angry when he heard about stealing people?Aren't men the most unbearable cuckolds?

In the past, if any concubine got into this at home, regardless of whether it was true or not, the father would definitely be the first to get angry and give a lesson. With this trick, the eldest lady brought down many concubines, including her mother, who almost suffered. Why is it impossible to let her husband here now?

In fact, Hua Yueshu can't be blamed for thinking this way. After all, she is just a daughter from a concubine's family. Naturally, her education is different from that of the direct line. Daughters taught by ordinary concubines are a bit petty after all.

"What adulterer, which adulterer have you seen come out with his pregnant wife? He is brother Jun's brother, my brother-in-law!"

Duan Wensai could hardly communicate with him.

Hearing this, Hua Yueshu was dumbfounded, "Brother Jun, isn't he a servant with no roots and no ancestors?"

She is not very used to the environment of Qingshan County recently, she stays at home and does not go out to think about life by the way, Duan Wensai is busy with official duties and household registration matters and has no time to pay attention to her, she does not know that Brother Jun's identity has changed for the time being.

Seeing her ignorant look, Duan Wensai sighed, he really had to take care of the person he chose.

"Brother Jun is a servant, can the child of my Duan family be a slave? If I don't arrange household registration, will the child be in your name? This is Jun'er's elder brother Lin Ze, who was a scholar in the Jiawu year. Lang, the teacher of Zeyu Private School in Qingshan County, Jun'er is also considered a family of farming and reading, and you should stop yelling around in the future. There are many people in the capital who don't want me to go back. If you mess around, none of us will fall good……"

The special emphasis on Lin Ze's fame and status is just to make people feel a little jealous.

Even though the Lin family doesn't have much background, but based on the superficial comparison of today's ninth-class status, the status of Brother Jun's Geng's family is definitely better than Hua Yueshu's concubine's concubine's name.

Just like everyone knows that businessmen who do business have a better life than farmers who face the loess, but in everyone's eyes, they are still scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are not as good as farmers. The two are the same.

The biggest reason why Hua Yueshu is not reconciled to Brother Jun is not because of Duan Wensai's doting, but because of the other party's humble status.

Now, he never imagined that the other party would suddenly become the child of a plowing and scholarly family, and the elder brother of his natal family was also the master of a private school. This requires a Confucian scholar with both talent and prestige to be a Confucian scholar.

But the circle of Confucian scholars has always been influenced by the whole body. Maybe this humble scholar in front of you is a disciple of someone or has something to do with it, so no one dares to underestimate any famous Confucian scholar.

My hot head not only made my husband angry again, but also slandered a master Confucian scholar. These scholars were not happy to write a derogatory poem casually, and when it was reported back to the capital, she didn't need Duan Wensai to do anything to her, and many people took the opportunity Fix her.

Now that her mind is clear, Hua Yueshu is frightened,

"I, I, I, my husband, I didn't do it on purpose, I just stood up for you, brother Jun, I'm sorry, I, I..."

Thinking about the consequences of her impulsiveness, she panicked. The life of marrying into the Duan Mansion was so easy and stress-free that she even forgot the end of her unscrupulous words.

"Okay, you go back first, and I'll tell you later."

In front of everyone and outsiders, Duan Wensai couldn't bring up his family's private affairs on the table, so he could only wave people away first.

This woman is getting more and more brainless, it seems that he has to turn around and tell her, otherwise bad things will happen in the future.

Hua Yueshu didn't dare to say any more, she looked at Brother Jun and Lin Ze angrily, and could only go back in despair, feeling a little flustered.

When the courtyard became quiet, Duan Wensai looked at Lin Ze with an embarrassed expression,

"Brother Lin..."

"Don't dare to be Duan County Magistrate's brother, Zhesha Lin, you should call me Lin Ze or Lin Xiucai."

Lin Ze's face was pale, and it was clear that his brother-in-law was about to go crazy and be held accountable.

Duan Wensai's brain hurts.
