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

Lin Fangxu summed up the past, looked forward to the future, and greeted the next day with great ambitions. Unfortunately, reality gave him a blow, telling him that living another life is not a panacea.

"Brother Xu, look at what you planted. It's no wonder that the seedlings can survive." 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 and floating on the water.He felt that his old soul in his 40s had been hit. Sure enough, he was born again, and he still couldn't learn how to transplant rice seedlings.

Zhao Shiyue saw that he went back to help the fallen seedlings up, but just turned around and fell down again.Although I don't know why my younger brother rushed to transplant rice seedlings today, I still smiled and said to him: "Brother Xu, it takes a lot of effort to draw water. Your elder brother has been on the water wheel for a long time. Go and replace him." Lin Fangxu had no choice but to Go to the river and change the big brother.

The waterwheel by the river is for two people, and Lin Fangqi, the second cousin who came back from Xiumu, is also on it.Seeing Lin Fangxu coming over, Lin Fangqi smiled and said, "Brother Xu, aren't you transplanting rice? Why are you here?"

Lin Fangxu rolled his eyes and replied solemnly: "I think people should not only be brave to try, but also be good at introspection, so as to know what they are good at and what they are not good at."

"So you found that you are 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.

Grandpa is now in his seventies, and he is still full of vigor when he teaches people a lesson.People of their generation survived the famine and war. The grandfather had several children, but only one son and one daughter survived.

My grandfather is said to have been smart since he was a child and read well, but he was in poor health and passed away before the new dynasty.

After the grandfather passed away, the grandmother also followed in the second year. At that time, the father had just got married, and it was all thanks to the help of the grandfather.

The eldest grandma passed away a few years ago, and although the eldest grandpa is the patriarch now, most of the time it is the eldest Bolin Chengwen who decides.

Lin Fangxu's father's generation was born in a series of natural disasters and wars. Survival is not easy, so there is no leisure to study.

After the South voted, only the eldest Bo Lin Chengwen, who had just passed the Buhuo, participated in the imperial examination, passed the court examination, and became a scholar.

Later, he took part in three more provincial examinations. In the last provincial examination before Hongwu's death, he passed the examination, but his ranking was low, and he was getting older.

If the children in the clan want to study after the age of five, they are all sent to the clan school to be enlightened by the uncle.After the enlightenment, those who want to take the imperial examination have to study in private schools in the county. Lin Fangxu and his brothers all worship Xu Juren, a classmate of their uncle's uncle.

It stands to reason that the uncle is a juren, and he can also teach the Chengwen of the imperial examination, but once the uncle is old, he has to manage family affairs, and his energy is not good.Secondly, the uncle felt that his ranking in the township examination had dropped, and it was a fluke to be able to pass the exam, and he was afraid of missing the student.

The uncle was busy studying in his early years, and he got married late. The eldest aunt was the daughter of a scholar. A younger brother in the family was elected and made up a county magistrate from another place.

Brother Lin Fangde, 26 this year, is two years younger than his eldest brother. He is honest and has soft ears. He barely finished studying "Thousand Characters" and "Hundred Family Surnames", so he stopped studying and managed the fields at home.She married the daughter of Liu Dahu in the next-door village, and she already has two daughters and a son.

The uncle's family has more land, nearly [-] mu, and two shops in the city.Most of the land was rented out, and a few acres were left to take care of themselves.

Grandpa often said that although the Lin family didn't need to go to the fields to dig for food, they had to know how hard it was to grow arbors. That's why all the men in the Lin family, except for the second elder brother, had been to the fields.

The second cousin, Lin Fangshu, is married to a scholar.

The second cousin, Lin Fangqi, is eighteen this year, and he has played once, but he has never passed the county test.

The second cousin was admitted to Jinshi at the age of 33 in his last life, and then he was sent to Yunnan as a county 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 make trouble in the school. The two of them can wear a pair of pants if they have a good relationship.Among his peers, besides his elder brother, he is the person Lin Fangxu trusts the most.

Lin Fangxin, an old woman from an uncle, is three years younger than Lin Fangxu.The whole family spoiled him very much, and spoiled him into a naive self, and it was only in his last life that he ended up like that.

Busy until noon, Mumu brought Ermu to call everyone back for dinner.After lunch, it was the hottest time, so I was not in a hurry to go to the field. After all, the Lin family didn't really rely on these few acres of land for chewing.

The female relatives all went to take a nap, and the father and son sat under the eaves to enjoy the cool air.

Lin Fangxu thought that if he was going to take the county test next year, he still had to say hello to his father and elder brother in advance, so he said, "Daddy, brother, I plan to take the county test with my second brother next year. Get off early and try, even if you don't pass, you can't pass the county test." It’s about accumulating experience.”

His father's name is Chengju, and his only son is as weak as his grandfather. He has taken more medicine than food since he was a child, but he is in good health when he grows up. Although he is still thin and weak, he is still healthy.

It is said that my father had a good memory when he was studying, and he could memorize the books thoroughly. He could repeat the explanations given by the husband verbatim, but he just didn't have his own opinions.

I failed the child's exam twice, and after each exam, I fell seriously ill, which scared my grandfather so much that he gave up.

Maybe my grandparents made up their minds since I was a child, and after my grandparents passed away, I listened to my grandpa's words, so the father's character is called not interfering with the children's thoughts at a good level, and has no opinion at a bad level.Since the elder brother became an adult, the big and small matters in the family have always been decided by the elder brother.

When Husband mentioned it last night, Lin Fangqin felt that the younger brother was still young, so he could go again next time.In fact, Lin Fangxu died three years later in his last life.

Lin Fangqin was quite surprised to hear my younger brother say this now, so he asked, "Have you asked your husband? You still need to listen to his opinion. You are still young, so there is no need to be so anxious."

Lin Fangxu replied: "Not yet. I will report to the master when I return to the academy, but I think the master will agree. The last boy's test, Brother Xu was only fifteen, and the master told him to end. It is because he is still young, so he can Let’s try it first, if you fail, you will have confidence in the exam next time.”

Lin Fangxu said this to his eldest brother, but he knew in his heart that he was a sure thing in the exam.Even if he participated in the autumn test in August, he was eight or nine points sure of being nominated for the Guibang.

Since God let me live a new life, there is no reason to waste another three years.

Lin Fangqin saw that his younger brother had already made up his mind, so he didn't say much, just instructed. "That's fine, you decide for yourself. Although it's just a try, you still need to make more preparations."

Lin Fangxu was very convinced of his elder brother, and nodded quickly.

In the previous life, my elder brother and my second elder brother were all supported by my elder brother for studying the imperial examination, and my parents were also supported by my elder brother.When his marriage was calculated, the eldest brother asked the second brother to divorce Ai Xiaoya.It's just that the second brother didn't want to live or die, so he begged himself. He didn't want to hurt his brotherhood, and he didn't care who he married, so he just let it go.

For this reason, the elder brother even reprimanded himself. I still remember what the elder brother said at that time.

"I just found out now that brother Xu went so smoothly that he even started to be supercilious. You think it doesn't matter. It shouldn't be because you care about your second brother. It's just that you don't like those two women. You don't think it's a big problem for you. Brother Xu , You must know that the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an ant nest, so don't underestimate anyone."

Now that I think about it, my elder brother really sees the long term than myself.

After three days of busy work, the Lin family finally raised a few acres of rice fields and vegetable fields.

When I woke up in the morning, knowing that my uncle was leaving, Ermu hugged Lin Fangxu's thigh and cried, which made my elder brother very angry. Your father is leaving, why didn't you see you and couldn't bear it.

The second cousin also wants to go back to the academy to be with them.The donkey cart that the elder brother drove back couldn't fit, so he took Lin Fangxu to sit in the ox cart of Uncle Cheng Fu's house.

Uncle Cheng Fu is the uncle of Lin Fangxu's five clothes. The family has little land, and his wife sold some when she was sick, so he drove an ox cart to pull people every day to earn some money.

Lin Fangxu and the others entered the city gate, and first went back to the house in Wutong Lane with his elder brother.The gate of the house is locked, presumably the second brother has not returned from Jinhua Mansion.

The Lin family's house in the county town was regarded as ancestral property. When the family was separated, the grandfather and the great grandfather each got one.Lin Fangxu's house is a two-entry house. There is a small garden in the first entry, and there are only two guest rooms except the living room.

There are three main rooms in the second entrance, and two rooms in the east and west sides. The rooms have inner and outer rooms, and the whole family lives here.

My father was born here, and then there was a famine, and then there was a war in the north, and there was a severe shortage of supplies, so he moved to Linjiacun.

Lin Fangxu and his second brother also live here after school every day, and only return to their hometown after taking a rest every month.

The uncle's family is all in the country, and only occasionally goes to the city. Most of the time, only the second cousin lives in the house in the city, and a woman is hired to help cook, wash, and clean the yard.

Lin Fangxu changed into clean clothes and went back to the academy with Lin Fangqi.When saying goodbye to the eldest brother and brother-in-law, the eldest brother gave him some money and told him: "Pay attention to your health, don't be too tired, and buy what you want for lunch. By the way, remember to ask the teacher, and tell my husband when you come back from school. How to say."
