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

After Lin Fangqin sent his younger brother on board, he hurried back. There were still many things at home waiting for him to go back to take charge. Among other things, the golden silk tea also needed to be prepared for transplantation.

The Lin family claimed to be a farming and educated family, and the real situation was well known in their hearts. They just had some reputation, and they had already been kicked out of the circle of scholars.

The younger brother is likely to be a Jinshi this time. Both Shang and Xu have nephews in later generations. It is already very affectionate and righteous to be able to take care of their younger brother by the way. Success can provide some help for my younger brother's official career.

When Lin Fangqin arrived home, Miki was sitting on the small wooden horse in the yard, and he coaxed Xiao Simu who was guarding beside him, "You don't call me Mufumufu anymore, so I will let you ride the little wooden horse. "

How could Simu understand what he said, holding the Trojan horse's head, crying all the time, Lin Fangqin stepped forward to pick him up, and reached out to wipe the snot and tears all over his face.

Si Mu put his small arms around his neck, and cried softly, "Daddy, Daddy..., brother no, no no..."

Miki jumped off the wooden horse, pulled his father's clothes, raised his head, and said worriedly like a little adult: "You can't call Daddy, you have to call Uncle, hey... Really, why are you so stupid, you can't learn it all the time." .”

Lin Fangqin looked at the frowning young son with a funny face, rubbed his head and said, "It's fine if my younger brother can't learn, he is the youngest, do you all want to let him know?"

As a good brother, Miki is naturally willing to let his younger brother go, but he still worried: "If my younger brother is always so stupid, what if I can't remember when I study in the future? I won't be able to go to the capital to play with my uncle."

Lin Fangqin was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lin Fangming and the two might have already arrived in the capital at this time, looked at the child in his arms, his eyes were as clear as spring water, and the tip of his nose was a little red from crying. He was biting his fingers and leaning against his arms. inside.

Lin Fangqin took Simu into his arms again, and said in an inaudible voice: "When Simu grows up, as long as he is willing, it doesn't matter if he wants to pursue an official career in economics, business management, or even write poems and odes. It doesn't matter if you are idle, you don't have to force it, as long as you are happy."

Not only their family was thinking about brother Xu, but also the elders such as grandpa and uncle. Lin Fangqin rested for a while, then went to his uncle's house, and told them about brother Xu's situation, so that the elders could rest assured.

When the eldest brother reported the safety of himself and his elders, Lin Fangxu had already arrived at the boundary of Yangzhou on the big boat of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.

In the poems of many literati, Yangzhou is described as a prosperous place of fireworks, but it is not an exaggeration. In the last years of the previous dynasty, it was even more extravagant.

The deformed prosperity was broken when the men and slaves rebelled in the north and the scholars fled to the south. After the establishment of the new dynasty, Emperor Hongwu was extremely disgusted with the extravagance. His appearance has changed to the current low-key, introverted, full-fledged appearance.

Lin Fangxu stood at the bow of the boat, watching the boats coming and going. He had been to this place in his previous life, and he came and left in a hurry just like now. The only difference is that there are more familiar faces around him.

The fresh-faced Jiang Shiyun stepped onto the bow, stood beside him, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

Lin Fangxu pointed to a place on the other side, and asked, "Have you seen those children? What do you think they are doing?"

Jiang Shiyun looked in the direction he was pointing, and there were five or six children surrounded by a small mound of soil, with wisps of cooking smoke floating from the inside to the outside of the mound.

Jiang Shiyun asked uncertainly, "Are you burning something?"

Lin Fangxu smiled and said affirmatively: "I'm roasting sweet potatoes. When I was young, I went to school in Linjiacun. After school, I didn't go home. My friends in the clan often went to dig sweet potatoes from other houses to roast together. When I went home, I had to wipe my mouth clean. It is agreed that no one can tell the secret."

In Jiang Shiyun's mind, he imagined the handsome Xie Yuanlang in front of him, secretly roasting sweet potatoes, and asked with a smile: "Then you were discovered later, were you beaten?

? ”

Lin Fangxu smiled helplessly, and said: "I always thought that I hadn't been discovered until I was eight years old when I went to Qixia Academy to study. My elder brother told me that I should learn to be a man from my husband in the future, and I should stop stealing sweet potatoes and breaking corn. Now, I know, they always knew."

"Haha, hahaha...", Jiang Shiyun laughed until his stomach hurts, why is it so funny, he can now imagine the shock on Lin Fangxu's face after hearing what his elder brother said.

Lin Fangxu narrowed his eyes, smiled and said, "Is it funny?"

Maybe because he felt that he couldn't be so unkind, Jiang Shiyun slowed down, and Gu Zuo said: "Cough..., look, there are many people washing clothes on the shore,... eh? Those husbands and ladies are washing clothes. What?"

Lin Fangxu saw that he was pretending to be serious at first, and then looked curious. He looked at the things that aroused his interest, and replied, "That is the bamboo basket and dustpan used for making tofu and steaming flower cakes during the Chinese New Year."

Jiang Shiyun cursed secretly in his heart, why didn't he open which pot and which pot he carried, and what he was doing when it came to the New Year, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "Are those husbands and ladies singing Wu Nong's ditty? It's so beautiful, do you know what it means? Is it?"

Seeing his annoyed look, Lin Fangxu warmed his heart and said, "It's just some common tunes, it's just telling stories about gifted scholars and beauties, joys and sorrows."

Jiang Shiyun listened to the soft voice from the other side, and with the breeze, it floated into his heart, as pure and soft as water, and his music was like a person.

Jiang Shiyun, as a little brother born in the north, has been frank and straightforward since he was a child. In addition, he was born in a family of martial arts, so he naturally has some fiery temperament on his body, which is completely opposite to Jiangnan girls and little brothers.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shiyun felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable, and said angrily: "Why are gifted scholars and beautiful ladies normal? You may not know it."

Lin Fangxu thought to himself, 'Why would I do this? ’, seeing his angry look, his heart moved slightly, and he said: "I don't know Wu Nong's minor tunes, but I know other ones. Do you want to listen?"

Jiang Shiyun was quite surprised, and he didn't feel angry anymore, and said slyly: "Then you sing and listen, and I will taste it."

Lin Fangxu walked closer to him, beat the time with both hands, and sang softly: "Guanguan Jujiu, on the continent of the river. Like Yu Gelang, a gentleman is a good man. There are various waterweeds, flowing from left to right..."

"Yi? Brother Lin... are you singing the Book of Songs? Why did you come here? Chen Kai just caught a river carp." Jiang Shiwu ran over recklessly.

Hearing the second brother's voice, Jiang Shiyun hurriedly moved away instinctively, blushing only to hear his own heart beating wildly.

Shang Tan and Xu Zhongkang walked behind Jiang Shiwu, followed by Chen Kai and Shang Wanjun at the end. After everyone walked to the plywood of the bow, Xu Zhongkang asked curiously, "Is Dongsheng singing the Book of Songs? How can he be so elegant?"

Jiang Shiyun finally returned to normal, and when he heard his words, he became nervous again, only to hear Lin Fangxu laughing and said: "Jiang Shaolang asked me if I sang the Luming at the Luming Banquet, and said that I must not have sung it well, so I sang it to Shao Listen to Lang."

After Lin Fangxu finished speaking, he smiled and said to Jiang Shiyun: "Young man, can I still sing well just now?"

Jiang Shiyun was not angry, nor was he ashamed. How did he find out that this person had such a thick skin? He gave him a bitter look, and turned his head away from speaking.

Shang Tan saw that his cousin was unhappy, and Dong Sheng stood aside with a forced smile. He thought there was some conflict between the two of them, so he quickly said, "There are few fish in this canal. We guarded it for a long time, but my uncle caught one." River carp."

Jiang Shiwu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's too small, and there's nothing to eat, but can I add another dish, or let the cook make Xiaoyun's favorite vinegar fish."

However, Chen Kai hesitated and said: "Let's use it to make soup. We are on our way for a few days. It's nothing for us men. Sister Wanjun...but my cousin and I can drink to make up for it."

Jiang Shiwu's face turned pale after hearing this, but Xu Zhongkang interrupted at this time: "Speaking of the Luming Banquet, I remembered the scene of dancing the Kuixing dance together at that time. Speaking of us, the five sons of Hangzhou

They haven't been together since then, and I don't know where Darong and the others are? "

Shang Tan sighed: "Hey..., yes, I hope we can get together in the capital."

Lin Fangxu was also quite emotional in his heart, leaning on the side of the boat, beating the hull of the boat lightly with both hands, and singing freehand: "Yo Yo Lu Ming, the apple of the wild food. I have a guest, playing the lute and the sheng..."

Shang Tan and Xu Zhongkang looked at each other, and then said: "Blowing the sheng and drum springs, carrying the basket is the general. People are kind to me, show me how to go around..."

Everyone likes colors. The husband and wife washing by the river saw a few young and handsome young masters on the tall official boat, singing wantonly and suavely. They whistled boldly and asked loudly: "Young man?" Lang, where are you going now!"

After the three of Lin Fangxu sang, they laughed loudly, and Xu Zhongkang even replied loudly: "Go to the gold list!"

After the laughter, the last river carp had stewed soup, but Jiang Shiyun didn't drink it himself, so he ordered someone to bring it all to Shang Wanjun.

Shang Wanjun's personal maid, Hong Lian, served soup for the young lady, and said with a smile: "Miss, Uncle Chen still has the heart, thinking that you have been on your way recently, and you are a little angry, and mint is specially put in the soup."

Shang Wanjun smiled faintly, took the bowl reservedly, and sipped the soup, although it was an ordinary river carp, it tasted very good.

The old man Lin Fangxu talked about being a teenager once, and he was punished impulsively for a few days later, because Jiang Shiyun deliberately avoided him, hiding in the room most of the time, obviously on the same boat, but he insisted on not being able to escape before arriving in Tongzhou. Never met.

Men can also be sentimental when they are in love. Lin Fangxu's state of mind at this time is just like what he sang in the Book of Songs, "I can't ask for it, I am sleepy and I am thinking about it. I am leisurely and leisurely, tossing and turning."

Jiang Shiyun is indeed avoiding Lin Fangxu, he is very irritable now, since when did he become unhappy?

It seems that when Chen Kai said that he was making soup, he didn't care about the fish. Although there was no fresh fish on board, there was no shortage of food. He didn't know why he was unhappy, maybe it was because of the marriage contract, maybe it was because of the poems sung by Lin Fangxu , maybe because of the restraints on his body, he had to temporarily restrain himself.
