Reborn the wonderful life of ancient times

Just after two days of playing, Zhu Rui's head guard came over and chatted with Zhu Rui in the study for a while. When he came out, Zhu Rui's face was a bit ugly.He put his arms around Lin Zimo's shoulders: "I'm sorry Zimo, I just came from a long way to report that there was a small-scale civil uprising on the southern coast because of pirates. The Holy Majesty asked me to go and have a look."

The military situation is urgent, and Lin Zimo comforted him: "It's okay, you can arrange to go on the road quickly, you don't have to worry about me here, if there is nothing, I plan to go back to Linjiacun, and wait for my father and them to come back together in October." Zhu Rui had to go back and forth once In a few months, everything in the capital has been arranged almost. There are no familiar people here except Mr. Chen and Langzhong Liu, so it is better to go home for a few months.

Zhu Rui touched his tender face and nodded, "That's fine. I'll send you four guards to go back with the caravan of Ouyang's family. Don't go on the road by yourself." He is also the only one in the Lin family. Considering the arrogance of some high-ranking officials and aristocrats in Beijing, he is not at ease when he thinks about it.

The military situation could not be delayed, and he had no choice but to hug Lin Zimo and kiss deeply, leaving behind four guards, Zhu Rui got on his horse and left.Looking at the cloud of smoke and dust going away, Lin Zimo felt empty in his heart.

The packing was arranged quickly, Zhu Rui left, and Lin Zimo became eager to return home. It happened that Ouyang's family had a few trucks of goods that needed to be transported back, so Lin Zimo followed them back to Linjiacun.

It's already more than July, and the road is full of people busy preparing for the autumn harvest.Golden millet, javelin-like corn, red sorghum, crackling beans, and sweet potatoes that have been promoted nationwide this year.Coupled with the favorable weather this year, these all herald a good harvest year.

After more than ten days, we arrived in Qingshui County.After saying goodbye to the Ouyang caravan, the group returned to Linjiacun.Sitting on the swaying carriage, rubbing his sore butt, Lin Zimo smiled wryly, the car was behind, not only wasting too much time, the road was not smooth, but also suffered too much.

well!What was that steam engine like?He misses trains and planes so much!

This time when Lin Zimo came back, he didn't inform his family. When they got closer, the servants at the gate found them.Immediately someone came up to greet him, and someone ran inside and shouted: "The third young master is back."

Lin Zimo got out of the carriage, Lin Yu ran at the front, and behind were the old lady and Mrs. Zhou supported by the maid.It's nothing if he didn't see his relatives. When he saw these relatives, Lin Zimo felt his eyes wet immediately.In the past, every time he went out for the exam, he always followed his brothers, and he didn't feel much. This was the first time he went out alone, and he suddenly felt a little sad.

He quickly caught up with two steps, lifted his clothes and knelt down: "Grandma, mother, I'm back." The old lady hugged Lin Zimo and wiped the ground with tears: "My son, he has lost a lot of weight, have you suffered outside?" Lin Zimo He hurriedly coaxed her: "There is no grandma, I have gained several catties." Mrs. Zhou came over and pulled the two of them up together: "Go in and have a rest, come on, tell the kitchen to kill chickens and ducks, and wash my son's dust." .” The way he spoke was quite imposing.

Lin Zimo laughed: "Mother, you still look like that." Mrs. Zhou slapped him lightly, and said with a smile, "Naughty, how can you say that about your mother."

Just when he sat down, Lin Huaide came in, followed by Lin Zihao startled Lin Zimo, stood up and said: "Brother will be back?" Lin Huaide smiled and patted his son's shoulder: "Your brother has just been home for two days , you two brothers really have a good understanding, and both feet are back." Lin Zimo smiled and stepped forward to salute: "Brother, is the Southern Academy fun? Didn't the second brother come back together?" Lin Zihao patted his head: " I went to study, not to play, your second brother will come back a few months later, and then go directly to the capital, and prepare to try next year's exam with me."

In the evening, the whole family sat in the living room, chatting and laughing. Lin Yu played with a bead fork that the third brother bought for her, and couldn't put it down. The eldest brother and the second brother never will." Lin Zihao blushed a little, it was true.Lin Zimo hurriedly said: "The eldest brother and the second brother are thinking about studying all day long, and your third brother is fine." Lin Yu hummed and stopped talking.

In the past few years, Lin Yu has also been studying at home. The Lin family specially invited a female teacher to give her piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, even female celebrities, rules, etc. When she went out, she was no different from the noble ladies in the capital.However, Lin Zimo knew that his family still lacked heritage. At the very least, if Lin Yu married into a big family, he would not be able to manage the housework.

When they were in the capital, Lin Zimo had made an agreement with Zhu Rui that when they entered the capital, Lin Yu would send an experienced nanny to Lin Yu from the palace to mainly teach this knowledge.

Suddenly remembered something, and asked Lin Huaide: "Father, our family will go to Beijing in three months, and it is likely that we will come back soon. Do you have any arrangements for the family?" Lin Huaide was puzzled: "What arrangement? There is a village head It’s okay to take care of it, and the two workshops are okay? It’s fine to settle accounts on a regular basis.”

Lin Zimo smiled and said: "It's not that. Our family is famous and profitable now, and my father will soon become an official in Beijing, so I have to do something for the clan. It's also because my father is an official, so I can't talk about it for outsiders." With fame and fortune, If you don't pull out a hair, it is easy to push yourself to the opposite of the family. In this era, family values ​​are very important.Don't say you don't spend money, just spend money and work hard, sometimes there are some people who don't like you.

In his previous life, Lin Zimo was far away from home, had ghosts in his heart, and was less likely to go home.I once heard from the cousins ​​of his uncle’s family that their grandpa’s family values ​​were very strong. As long as they had the ability, people in the village would definitely help if they found them. .However, when grandpa returned to his roots a hundred years later, the juniors would go back to the grave every Qingming Festival. Although most of them were grateful for grandpa’s kindness and greeted them warmly every time, there were also some people who hated the rich seriously. The person secretly scratched a few times, no big deal, but very annoying.

This is still a bit good for those people. It is not that Lin Zimo has a villainous heart, but the experience of thousands of years tells us that the people who cheat you the most are often people you don't pay attention to or don't care about.

Lin Huaide suddenly said: "Look at my brain, Zimo reminded me that year, and now I still forget the same thing. I don't have any rules in my heart, what do you think Zimo should do?" Lin Zihao also turned to look at his younger brother, paying attention to listening , he found that he still lacked experience in this area. He thought he knew a lot after going out for two years, but the relationship between people and officials was similar, and he still couldn't understand it as well as his younger brother.

Lin Zimo said: "It's the farm that is more than a mile away. In the past few years, our family has bought a lot of land in the village, right?" Mu, as long as it is not difficult to live on, no one will sell the land." Lin Zimo nodded: "These lands do not include the more than 80 mu of fruit trees." "Not included."

"Well, donate all the less than 100 mu of land to the clan as the clan's farmland, and the output will be used for the annual ancestral hall offerings, and the rest will be used for school-age children in the clan." After thinking for a while, he said: "Let me tell the family that as long as the two workshops in our family are open, [-] taels of silver will be given to the family every year. In addition to repairing the ancestral hall and the roads in the village, there will be surplus, which can be distributed to the old people in the family at the end of each year. Ceremony of the year."

Lin Zihao clapped his hands: "Okay, in this way, all the people in the clan will be able to enjoy the glory. I must be grateful to the people in our family. Not only will it make the clan rich and strong, it will become a help for my family, and it will also make people in the village take care of themselves spontaneously." My family's land and workshops should not be disturbed by others, so that we can worry thousands of miles away."

After the discussion between the father and son, the women in the family followed the tradition and didn't make any comments, but just listened quietly.Lin Huaide hesitated, and then said: "Your aunt wants to go to Beijing with us, and she said it is for your eldest brother's consideration." Lin Zihao and Lin Zimo frowned together, and Lin Zimo asked: "Is this the idea of ​​the aunt, or is it the family's idea? What did the lobby lady say?"

In the past few years, the business of the uncle's family has been very good. I heard that two shops have been set up in the city. The wife in the lobby has a son and a daughter. It is very useful to speak in his house.Lin Huaide said: "Your cousin and sister-in-law are not in a hurry to follow now, it seems that your cousin wants to wait for your cousin to see if he can pass the exam, or if he can't pass the exam, then we can talk about what to do.

As long as you don't mess around, it's fine, as long as you can do your job well, even if the big brother doesn't pass the Juren exam in a few years, the family will have a firm foothold in the capital, so I don't mind helping his family.

Living at home is very comfortable, although I miss Zhu Rui a little bit, but it is in the early days of August, the crops are gradually ripening everywhere, the orchards are full of fruits, and the strings of golden jujubes are so sweet to bite , The bright red apples and the sweet pears make Lin Zimo linger.

Sitting in the gazebo, looking at the lotus flowers that have not yet bloomed, the farmers in the surrounding fields are very leisurely.As for Lin Zihao, who was struggling, he was not so lucky. He lay on the desk all day long, looking at the test questions and making circles with his eyes.
