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

"cough cough"

Seeing his little baby in the arms of the second apprentice, Lin Ze couldn't bear it anymore, walked over quickly, and coughed to remind him.

Now at thirty-one, he is the golden age of a man. Although he has worked hard in the past few years, he has three children and Zhang Yu to accompany him.

So he is still very young and handsome, but he is a bit more mature and elegant than before, and he has a little more official air after being an official for a few years.

"father!"

Lin Dongdong and his father have a very good relationship. Hearing his father's voice, he turned his head and saw him. He immediately got off his elder brother Rong, ran towards his father, jumped on his father again, and looked at his handsome father. Kiss face to face.

The moment the little baby's enthusiasm was received, Lin Ze burst into a smile, and all jealousy disappeared, secretly thinking that the baby still likes his father the most.

Kissing my lovely son, Master Lin turned into a daddy in no time, "Why did you come to the academy again? Did you come to pick up Dad? It just so happens that Dad is done with work, can you go home with Guai?"

"No, I came here to look for Brother Rong, and someone gave Brother Rong a handkerchief again! Dad, Brother Rong is a good-natured gentleman, you have to tell others not to rob him, otherwise you will let the uncle of the official dispatch arrest them lesson!"

It's a pity that Lin Dongdong didn't accept his father's coaxing at all, and stopped his father's shoulder to explain seriously.

In order to keep his man, this little guy has learned to use power.

Lin Ze was in a bad mood again, and his face was so rotten, "What nonsense! The little ass will go to the house without being beaten for a few days, right? I also learned the second-generation young master of x, who taught you to abuse power ?”

"Wuwu, Dad, you said, whoever dares to bully Dongdong, you arrest him. Besides, Dongdong has already told everyone that brother Rong is my husband-in-law, and they still want to grab Dongdong. It's just that they are wrong... ...Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomatic

Lin Dongdong is best at rolling around like a baby. Although he knows that this is not good for the child, his own baby Lin Ze is helpless.

Poor, it's so pitiful for the little one to cry.

Only Zhang Yu was so ruthless and serious about discipline, Lin Ze had nothing to do with it, his wife and children were his biggest weakness,

"Okay, okay, Dad won't kill you anymore, let's talk slowly when we get home, can Dad make meatballs for you when we get home?"

"No, don't eat meat at all, you are too fat, you won't be able to get married in the future."

Seven-year-old Lin Dongdong has been teased by the friends around him that he has the consciousness of losing weight, and he despises his chubby appearance very much.

But there is a kind of love in this world, called 'Daddy thinks you are thin'.

Lin Ze's heart aches to death, his little baby is getting fat, it's just baby fat, run and exercise with him every morning and he won't be fat at all.

It's just that the little one really dislikes meat now.Then he can only curve to save the country,

"Father will make braised lion's head for you. It's a lion's head, not meat."

"Well...then just eat one, no no, eat two!"

Lin Dongdong bit his finger, trying to control his appetite.

Lin Ze nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, Dad will make you another fish, you will be smart if you eat more fish, it's not meat anyway."

"It's almost sweet and sour!"

Lin Dongdong, who had no resistance to delicious food, began to order with bright eyes.

The Duan family's twins, the eldest son of the He family, and Ji Changle stared at Uncle Lin, who opened his eyes and told lies, and Lin Dong, who was drooling, and his mouth twitched.

Dongdong is usually very smart in other aspects, with a lot of ghost ideas, but when it comes to eating, his IQ starts to drop...

"Teacher, let me do it. You have been busy with business for a day, and you go to the kitchen when you go back. Shi Lang will feel distressed."

Zhang Yirong walked over with a smile, saluted Lin Ze respectfully, and said.

(From now on, Zhang Shidan will use Zhang Yirong's name directly)

He used to help grandma in the kitchen when he was in Zeyu Private School. Later, although he devoted all his energy to studying, he would still go to the kitchen in his spare time. At first, he helped the teacher.

Later, because Dongdong didn’t like to eat food from outside, and the teacher was too busy to go to the kitchen every day, he learned some cooking skills. Watching Dongdong eat his food deliciously, he felt better and understood. Why does the teacher like to cook for Shilang and Junior Brother? It feels so good to feed them.

This apprentice competed with him for the opportunity to be courteous again. Lin Ze expressed that he was very unhappy, and immediately put on a serious face to teach him a lesson.

"I have nothing to do today. Your little brother and Shilang like to eat my cooking. But you, you are about to take the provincial examination, and you don't hurry up to review? If you three senior brothers don't get all the top three in the palace examination this time, turn around Just don't call me teacher, so as not to embarrass me."

Since the Tongsheng Examination that year, the children of Zeyu Private School have not taken the imperial examination again.

It's not that everyone can't learn well. In fact, these years, the children's grades have been maintained in the top thirteen of the all-excellent class. It's so neat that other students can't climb up even a single term. Everyone's goal has changed from No. Once it became No.14, in everyone's mind, 'Fourteen' became No.1.

However, the children are not very old, especially those in the three villages who started their education late. Even though their superficial grades are good, their foundation is not solid after all.

So Lin Ze has been suppressing everyone and not allowing them to take the exam. It was not until this time that he planned to let the children try the water.

As for his three closed disciples, Zhang Yirong, Li Sheng and Guo Zian, the requirements are more stringent. Not only must they pass the provincial examination, but they must also pass the palace examination.

Although the three of them are very confident, they are also under a lot of pressure.

It is no problem to go to the capital to take part in the general examination, but it is really very difficult to arrange for the top three in the imperial examination. That is a gathering of talented people from all over the country, and they are not so arrogant that they don't look down on anyone.

But when the teacher spoke, they had no choice but to obey and work hard.

"Teacher, we will work hard."

Zhang Yirong nodded with a wry smile and promised that he would work hard, but whether he can do it is really another matter.

"It's not about working hard, it's about doing your best. During this time, you three should not go to the teaching dormitory for evening self-study. Come to my office and I will strengthen you. It's not the teacher forcing you, it's your master who can't wait to ask for someone. If I don't send you out, Teacher, I will have to beat the palm of my hand."

Apart from the fact that he doesn't like his little baby sticking to the second apprentice, Lin Ze is actually very satisfied with himself as the second apprentice.

Guo Zian is amazing because he is born with a good brain, and that guy's IQ is not comparable to that of ordinary people; Li Sheng's grades are so smart because he was trained by someone at home since he was a child.

Only the second apprentice, Zhang Yirong, who used to bear the name of the scum and stone egg, is just a village boy. He only started learning things at the age of seven, but his achievements far surpassed those three children who also came from the village. , and even surpassed Li Sheng's score and remained in second place.

This is not a surprising result, and I don't know how much work and effort this child has spent in private.

So from the bottom of Lin Ze's heart, he actually likes this child very much, just because Lin Dongdong is a little jealous.

I don't know if it's fate, Lin Dongdong had a very good relationship with his brother Rong when he was in his father's womb, apart from his father and father, the one he likes and clings the most is Brother Rong.

"Yirong, go find the boss and the second, and go to the teacher's house for dinner tonight. I'll take the initiative to go back first... Do you guys want to go to Uncle Lin's house for dinner today?"

After the serious lesson, Lin Ze resumed his serious face and confessed that the latter sentence was to the children of the He family.

"Uncle, I want it, I want it!"

The Duan family's twins nodded first. They like eating at their uncle's house the most.

"Uncle Lin, I want it too! But can I call my younger brother too?"

The eldest son of the He family was not too polite, but he was still thinking about his younger brother. Zheng Xiaoluo also gave He Xiangfeng another second child two years ago.

"Yes. How about you, Lele?"

Lin Ze squeezed the little baby's face, nodded with a smile, and then looked at the shy kid Ji Changle. This kid has a personality like his father, and he is shy most of the time.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin, I will go next time. Today is my father's birthday. My father told me to ask my father to come home for dinner after school."

The kid Ji Changle smiled and answered politely.

The "father" he mentioned is Lin Sheng, a master craftsman who is very powerful in the inner courtyard of the academy. Lin Sheng was a "mixed-blood" Nanyang slave bought by Lin Ze many years ago. A leading master who is highly respected and admired by craftsmen in the inner courtyard.

Under the leadership of Lin Sheng, the craftsmen of the inner court have researched a lot of useful things, and have received many imperial edicts from His Majesty to commend them, and they have all been named by His Majesty, which is very awesome.

However, ordinary people rarely know about the affairs of the inner courtyard, so in the eyes of ordinary people around, Lin Sheng is Lin Ze's more important domestic slave. A few years ago, he met his widow Xu Xiaoshi and got married, nothing special.

Everyone had heard about Xu Xiaoshi's "ex-husband" at the time, and they didn't sympathize with them in front of the children. Therefore, in Ji Changle's cognition, Lin Sheng was his biological father. The father changed his surname because he sold himself, and the family of three is living happily now.

"Lele is so good, let's go. But your father and father are busy in the No. 1 laboratory, so you can't go in now, it's very dangerous, go to the lounge first, do you know?"

Lin Ze rubbed the well-behaved child's head and told him.

The No. 1 laboratory in the inner courtyard is dedicated to the research of chemical things. It is easy for non-professionals to enter and cause dangerous accidents, let alone children.

"I know Uncle Lin, I will be obedient."

Ji Changle promised to nod, and then ran to the inner courtyard to find his father who knew the way.

Lin Ze smiled and shook his head, picked up his little baby, and took a group of children home.

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

Lin Ze returned to Heba Village with his children.

Although he mainly stays in the academy and the county government office now, the traffic has been greatly developed in the past few years, and the roads between the entire Qingshan County have basically been repaired, and the straight-line distance between the two ends is only an hour. .

But the government has horses, and Lin Ze basically rides horses and carriages when going out, and travels faster, so he often goes back to Heba Village to live.

Because the academy is also next to this side, and because the children go to the government primary school in the Heba village, the convenient transportation is simply praised by the people.

In fact, although Heba Village is still called Heba Village, it can no longer be described as a village. Now the population of Heba Village is several times larger than before.

The villagers also live in a dedicated residential area, surrounded by very complete living facilities, shops, supermarkets, groceries, and restaurants. The main reason is that it is next to the academy that attracts a lot of people.

Except that farming is still needed, it is no different from the old town.

However, the Lin family still lives in the house built before, but the surrounding yard has been enlarged a lot, and two houses have been added for the servants and the nursing home, which can be regarded as a small house.

"father!"

As soon as Lin Ze entered the door, before he could put Lin Dongdong down, two little guys rushed forward.

Don't think too much, it's naturally his two twin boys. The two children were quiet and lazy when they were young, but they are no different from Lin Dongdong when they grow up. They are indeed his own. The three brothers have similar natures and are very lively .

One of the two boys jumped to his left hand, and the other hung directly on his neck. Lin Ze instantly became a Christmas tree full of presents.

If he hadn't been exercising all the time, he wouldn't have been able to bear the three children hanging on him.

"Two little boys, who will pick you up today?"

Lin Ze tried his best to support his body balance, and let his three sons act like a baby and get close to them with a happy smile. He is the one who is most used to children in the family.

"We came back by ourselves! Dad, we are little heroes, we can go home by ourselves!"

The two boys are very masculine and courageous at a young age, and the last thing they like is when someone picks them up from school, unless Dad and Daddy come.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu hurried over to help hold the child, really helpless,

"Sanggong, just let them get used to it, you're already seven years old and you're still walking with him in your arms..."

Their family is full of strict fathers and loving mothers, and their family is a loving father and strict father. Lin Ze, who was supposed to show his father's majesty, was able to spoil his children to heaven, but thanks to the upright roots of the children, and Zhang Yu's teaching, otherwise three A child is afraid that he will be spoiled.

But Lin Ze is still very complacent, the father of three children is not serious, molesting his wife,

"Then give me a hug, Ah Yu, and I'll listen to you..."

"No seriousness! Come into the house, brother Zhang is here, and I will discuss with you about the security of the opening of the commercial street."

Zhang Yu's face immediately turned red when he heard the words. Even if he was already an old couple, he still couldn't bear Lin Ze's out-of-shape flirting in broad daylight. This guy has a thick skin that no one can compare to.

Unhappy, he rolled his eyes angrily, and while taking Lin Dongdong, he beckoned the other children to enter the room.

Lin Ze loved to see his wife's blushing face the most, she smiled cheerfully, and followed into the house with the two twin boys in her arms.

But following behind, his eyes have been staring at the waist and buttocks of others, and he is no different from an old hooligan.

No way, who told him that the longer the better, the 25-year-old age is the best, and the youthfulness of the youth has completely faded away. Even though he has given birth to two children, but because of the system and his own intentional maintenance, his figure is still very well-proportioned , the seductive aura that inadvertently exuded almost fascinated him so much that all his souls flew to Ah Yu.

If he hadn't asked a doctor to drink the medicine, in the life of such a husband and wife, he might have to add a few more babies in the past two years.

Three children in the family are enough, and he is really reluctant to risk his life again.

Entering the house, there was another burst of excitement. Now it is the time when the children are out of school, and the surrounding children like to come to their house to play. The Lin family's house is almost becoming a nursery now.

After coaxing the children to play, Lin Ze and Zhang Goutou went into the study to talk.

After his careful training and teaching at the beginning, Zhang Goutou and Lin Dakun's group of people have become his right-hand assistants until now. Assist the yamen in managing law and order, and do things that the yamen can't get involved in the dark.

Although the old gangster at the time is still a "dog master", his weight and status are different.

Others also arranged to go out one after another. Wang Maozi took Lin Xiaolian to run around. The couple are both interested in doing business. Both of their children were born outside. Now it is a family of three running outside, living freely and happily , not tired at all.

"My lord, this is the detailed security arrangement for the opening of the commercial street. We have received news that a lot of people from other counties will come during the opening days. The situation will be chaotic. At that time, we will form two teams. The people in the department wear plain clothes to assist, and they specialize in catching those who don't obey the rules. Isn't there a shortage of people in the construction department? Just send them over..."

Zhang Goutou handed in the security arrangement plan discussed by everyone.

Although he has learned how to read and write, and has the official title of "Minister of the Security Department" on his head, he can be regarded as half a man in the yamen, but Zhang Goutou's behavior is still like a bastard, and he can't change it. He should not have a name that makes people laugh, he must keep it, and he must be called "Dog Lord" when he sees people to feel comfortable.

Lin Ze couldn't comment on this guy's strange hobbies. When he thought that this was his second apprentice's scumbag father, and his little baby clinged to this guy's son, he felt an urge to beat him up.

After flipping through the plan, there is no problem, the details are perfect, but his expression is still not smiling, his face is serious,

"There is no problem with the plan, but the actual situation will definitely be very complicated. Officials in Qingshan County will join the ribbon-cutting ceremony. I also sent invitation letters to the next few counties. There are many important people. In short, don't make any trouble for me. Otherwise, I will remake them all..."

"My lord, can we stop threatening people with this every time?"

Hearing this, Zhang Goutou wanted to cry.

The days at the waste recycling facility were simply dark memories that a group of them could not bear to look back on. Every time they thought about it, they trembled. Letting them die now is simply more comfortable than going back to the furnace and rebuilding.

Lin Zeke didn't agree with this guy, he raised his eyes and despised him,

"If you don't threaten you with this, what will you get? I heard that Grandma Zhang told you to kiss you and you didn't agree, and you still run to the brothel all day long? Is it because I paid you too much? Do you not remember what I told you? Is it? You are now half of the yamen, and Yirong is about to take part in the provincial examination. If you behave badly, you are deliberately trying to oppose me, right?"

Although Grandma Zhang had written a divorce letter with Zhang Goutou in order to protect her grandson, Zhang Goutou is no longer Zhang's family from a legal point of view, but the blood relationship cannot be broken anyway. To some extent, it still influenced Zhang Yirong.

In the past few years, he has helped the emperor's teacher with affairs. Although he has made a lot of contributions, he has also indirectly damaged the interests of some powerful people. There are many people who dislike him. Now the emperor wants his three apprentices to use him. Don't worry if you deal with the tail and pigtails for the children.

"Zhang Goutou, let me tell you, Yirong, I have a plan. You'd better keep your tail in place when you do things. If someone catches a braid from you and influences my apprentice, I will show you what it means to be regretful." , Recycling is just a trivial matter..."

For the disciples he cultivated so hard, Lin Ze spoke harshly.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Goutou was his apprentice's father, he wouldn't be bothered to spend so much effort to reform people like Zhang Goutou.

Zhang Goutou smiled wryly, thinking that he was so sad, that his son's future still needs to be told by others.

But thinking about myself back then, I was really a jerk.

"Don't worry, my lord. No matter how you say it, Yirong is my own son. He is the only one in my Zhang family's life. I can't hurt anyone. I can't hurt him. It's thanks to you, my lord. Can't stand him..."

Zhang Goutou also sighed quite a bit. He didn't think about it before, but now thinking about what he did before, he can hardly believe that it was really him?

"My lord, in fact, I went upstairs to find me. I just wanted to find Yi Rong's mother. I used to be an asshole, but now that I think about it, I really feel sorry for my mother, and I'm sorry for Yi Rong's mother and son... Yi Rong's mother was also stupid back then." She gave birth to a son after being coaxed by me, and she was expected to redeem her back home, but where did I get the money to redeem her at that time, I just wanted a son to inherit the incense."

"Now that I think about it, hey, it's useless to talk about it for a while. I'm an asshole. Now I want to see if I can get some information from the old girl in the building. If she is willing, I can afford her now, anyway. Our Zhang family is not a famous family, and my mother doesn't dislike her identity."

It's rare that after being reformed, Zhang Goutou finally realizes that he is a scumbag.

Lin Ze shook his head, but he didn't take the other person's words to heart at all. He simply didn't have too much hope for this kind of person. No matter how enlightened this guy is, the dregs he did when he was young still can't be erased.

"I don't care what you think now, anyway, you can make up your own mind and don't influence my apprentice."

"Yes, yes, Lord Lin, don't worry, I'm still waiting for my son to be successful, marry more beautiful daughters-in-law to give our Zhang family a bunch of dolls, and shine on the lintel, don't worry, I can't hurt my own son no?"

Zhang Goutou patted his chest to assure that he was telling the truth.

Is there any father in the world who doesn't want his son to be successful?He used to be an asshole, but he wasn't stupid. Only when his son was successful could he take care of him, and the older he got, the more he wanted to have a grandson.

Lin Ze's eyelids twitched when he heard it, thinking of the picture of his little baby hugging his second apprentice and shouting all day long, he couldn't hold back and kicked Zhang Goutou out.

"Give birth to your sister, get out and do business!"

"..."

Zhang Goutou clutched his buttocks in aggrieved way and left the study, thinking in his heart that Mr. Lin's temper was really getting weirder and weirder.

He said that his son married a wife and gave birth to a grandson, Mr. Guan Lin is a big deal, what does this girl's vicious green face mean.
