Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

When Lin Fangxu arrived at the Defu Inn, Shi Tiancai was waiting at the door, and when he saw Lin Fangxu he hurried up to meet him.

Shi Tiancai saluted Lin Fangxu and said, "Young Master, Eldest Master is resting in the guest room, and told me to wait for you here."

Lin Fangxu nodded to show that he understood, and told Lin Fangyuan and the two to wait downstairs, and went to the guest room alone.

Lin Fangxu followed Shi Tiancai to the door of the guest room. The door was not closed. A young man of sixteen or seventeen years old was guarding the door. When he saw Lin Fangxu, he was stunned. Front respectfully said: "I have seen the young master, the eldest master is taking a nap, I have told the younger one before, if the young master arrives, please go in directly."

Lin Fangxu looked at the person in front of him, who had never appeared before in his previous life. He had a steady demeanor and knew how to speak, and asked, "What's your name?"

The young man hurriedly replied: "The young one was originally called Wang Xiaoer, and the eldest young master gave him the name Wang Shanye."

Lin Fangxu nodded, let the two of them go down to rest, pushed the door open and entered the room, Lin Fangqin was lying on the bed with his eyes slightly closed.

Lin Fangqin just passed the age of this year, and began to grow a beard on his chin. Maybe it's because his skin is much darker than before because of taking care of Chashan in the past two years, but other things haven't changed much.

Lin Fangxu moved a stool to guard the bedside as he did when he was a child. At that time, the family was struggling. His eldest brother left school at the age of 17 and went to the county town to work as an apprentice in the counting house. He came home very late every day.

Lin Fangxu was only three or four years old at that time. He fell asleep before his eldest brother arrived home at night. The snacks brought back from the county for their brothers.

It didn't take long for Lin Fangqin to wake up. Lin Fangxu took off his robe from the screen, put it on his elder brother, and asked, "Brother, have you rested? Is everything alright at home?"

Lin Fangqin got out of bed, sat down by the tea table, and said, "Of course everything is fine at home. You're going to the capital in two days, right? I brought you some silver taels and a gift for meeting, so you can deal with it when things change."

Lin Fangxu replied: "Well, I will set off with the people from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion the day after tomorrow. Brother, are you really okay at home? If it's really okay, you promised to come to Hangzhou at the end of November, and now it's December [-]th." .”

Lin Fangqin patted his forehead with the back of his hand, and said with a smile, "Why don't you expect the order to be ready at home? It's true that there was an unexpected delay, but it's not a big deal. You know Boss Qu in Honghu Tower, right? At that time, she married a man named Wang Zitai in Jinhua Mansion, and she was the same year as you."

Lin Fangxu thought for a while, um..., there is indeed such a person, whose ranking in the township examination is in the middle, and he is not very familiar with him.

Lin Fangqin continued: "In mid-November, Boss Qu returned to Wuyi County to sell the Honghu real estate. I heard that it was because he wanted to accompany Wang Zitai to Beijing to participate in the examination."

Lin Fangxu was confused and asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with our family?"

Lin Fangqin squinted his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "It didn't matter at first, but Ai Xiaoya went to the capital with their husband and wife. After your second brother heard about it, he also made a fuss about going. I was worried and delayed for some time."

Lin Fangxu turned cold, and asked, "Second brother is still going?"

Lin Fangqin replied: "Go..., the feet are growing on him, who can stop him, I arranged for someone to follow, he is a 20-year-old guy named Wang Shanli, you should have met his younger brother, his name is Wang Shanye. The two of them, their parents and younger sister stayed in Linjia Village, helping to take care of the tea mountain."

Speaking of which, Wang Shanyan's family has some connections with the Lin family.

During the war and famine in the early years, the royal father and the queen mother were sold to the Liu family when they were very young, and they were sent to work in the tea garden because of their dull character.

After being grounded, Aunt Xiao set aside Ai Xiaoya and started a clothing store by herself. Of course, it was impossible for her to find prostitutes as models, and there were not enough maids in the house, so she came up with the idea of ​​a tea picker in a tea garden.

Wang Xiaomei just caught her eye, but how could the Wang family let their little daughter in the palm of their hand go out in public, naturally they were unwilling.

王

Because of this, the family had a bad relationship with the master's family, and the family was driven out of the tea garden and squeezed into a shack under the tea mountain.

In the end, this was not the end. When the two brothers Wang Shanyan went to work, they were beaten up by Aunt Xiao's dandy son with a servant.

The Wang family had no way out, so they ran to the gate of Liu's house to make trouble. Mrs. Liu gave some money and fined Aunt Xiao's mother and son, but they didn't know how to arrange the Wang family. It was impossible for them to go back to the tea garden. After the resentment was over, Mrs. Liu really hated Aunt Xiao's mother and son.

Later, I didn't know where to find out that Lin Fangqin was buying someone, so he asked his son to find him, explained the cause and effect clearly, and then transferred the Wang family's deed of sale to Lin Fangqin.

Lin Fangqin didn't intend to go into details about these behind-the-scenes things, and said with a smile: "Ermu cried for a long time when he knew that you would not go back during the Chinese New Year. Now he is arguing every day not to go to Mengxue, but to go to Qixia Academy. It’s really nonsense to go to the capital to look for you instead of Juren.”

Seeing that his elder brother changed the subject, Lin Fangxu didn't intend to get to the bottom of it. He believed that his elder brother would handle it well, so he followed him and said, "Where is Ermu messing around? Isn't this very ambitious? Brother, I won't go back to business today. The house is over, tell me about the family affairs, brother-in-law, Mumu, are they all right?"

The two Lin Fangqin brothers squeezed into the quilt and chatted all night about family affairs. Before going to bed, Lin Fangqin couldn't help telling: "You go to the capital and take care of yourself. Don't worry about your second brother. Proper, as for Ai Xiaoya..., since she is no longer Lin's wife, then don't worry about it."

Naturally, Lin Fangxu wouldn't care too much, as long as Ai Xiaoya was not in the Lin family, no matter how deviant she was, it had nothing to do with him.

There is nothing to worry about the second brother's words. He has been making trouble for his family in his two lifetimes, and he can distinguish the seriousness from the outside.

Lin Fangxu was about to leave for the capital on the fifteenth day, and Lin Fangqin planned to send his younger brother off before returning to Wuyi County.

Early the next morning, the two brothers got up, and after having breakfast, they discussed going to hangzhou city together.

Jiang Shiwu yelled as soon as he entered the door: "Brother Lin, haha... I heard that your elder brother is here? Xiaoyun and I came here specially to visit."

Lin Fangxu glanced at Jiang Shiyun who was following behind, smiled, and introduced to his elder brother: "Brother, this is the second son of the Marquis of Wu'an, and this is the young master of the Marquis of Wu'an."

The two brothers greeted Lin Fangqin politely before Lin Fangqin opened his mouth, and Jiang Shiwu took the initiative to ask: "Brother Lin, do you have any plans for this visit?"

Lin Fangqin replied: "The main reason is to see brother Xu. I will go back after sending him off tomorrow. I plan to go out for a stroll today."

Jiang Shiwu's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Have you thought about where to go shopping? If not, let's rent a small boat, swim in the West Lake, and eat jealous fish."

Jiang Shiyun rolled his eyes and said, "Second brother, if you want to go, just say it yourself, brother Lin, you don't have to worry about him."

Lin Fangxu smiled and said: "Brother, why don't we go swimming in the West Lake and eat fish with jealousy. I ate one at the Luming Banquet last time. It was quite interesting."

Lin Fangqin had nothing to do, so the three of them went to the West Lake together in a carriage, rented a medium-sized painting boat, and the boatman paddled towards the lake.

Several people sat in the painting boat while drinking tea and chatting, Lin Fangqin took the opportunity to entrust: "Brother Xu is going to the capital for the first time, and I have to trouble Mr. Jiang to take care of you."

Jiang Shiwu felt that he was a righteous person, patted his chest and said: "Brother Lin, don't worry, with our protection, no one dares to bully Brother Lin in the capital."

After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Lin Fangqin would not believe him, so he pulled Jiang Shiyun over, and said triumphantly: "Hmph..., Xiaoyun and I have fought invincible hands all over the capital three years ago. No one dares to mess with us. You can rest assured that Brother Lin will be handed over to you." Let's do it."

Lin Fangqin looked at the big man in front of him, then at his younger brother's gentle appearance, smiled dryly, and said hesitantly, "Then please trouble Mr. Jiang..."

Lin Fangxu looked at Jiang Shiyun with a suppressed smile, and said, "So you've been fighting all over the capital?" '

see ginger

With a thin red face, Shi Yun glared at him, and secretly spurned his second brother in his heart, "Why didn't I find him so stupid before, he lost all face."

Lin Fangqin, an old brother who has broken his heart, no matter how worried he is, there is nothing he can do about it. The foundation of the Lin family is too weak to take care of his younger brother. Hey... Fortunately, his younger brother has always been sensible, so he probably won't go all over the capital. .

It can only be said that Lin Fangqin was too happy too early, and he will know how bold his younger brother is in the future.

Of course, we will talk about the future, let's have a good time at this time.

In the winter moon, the weather is getting colder and cooler, the flowers and plants have long withered, and the willow branches on the bank have also turned from green to yellow. When the north wind blows, they start to dance, and the charming and enchanting movements startled a group of yellow flying butterflies.

The water of West Lake is shimmering, and the mountains in the distance are empty. Not far away, there are still fishermen casting nets, and you can faintly hear the girl in clothes humming Wu Nong's ditty.

In this winter's West Lake, Jiang Shiwu kept bragging to Lin Fangqin about how powerful the three of them, especially Lin Fangxu, were, and what they said in the four debates made brother Xu and his cousin willing to bow down.

Jiang Shiyun and Lin Fangxu rolled their eyes when they heard it. When they were arguing, Jiang Shiwu was often confused by what he heard, and he was ashamed to tell others at this time, so that Lin Fangxu and Jiang Shiyun had to give him supplementary explanations. It's as if I deliberately borrowed someone else's mouth to show off.

Lin Fangqin listened with gusto. Not only was he interested in the younger brother's debate, he was more concerned about the fact that he found that there seemed to be a different tacit understanding between his younger brother and Jiang Shaolang.

This kind of tacit understanding often exists between him and Yueyue, but it is a little different, so that after bidding farewell to the Jiang family brothers, Lin Fangqin left his younger brother behind and asked, "Brother Xu, your brother-in-law and I originally planned to see you." I will show you about marriage after winning the exam, but you are going to take the exam now, I want to ask you what you think."

Lin Fangxu didn't even think about it, so he said directly: "Brother, I'm not in a hurry to get married, I'll talk about it after I try it."

Lin Fangqin nodded, feeling somewhat clear in his heart.
