It's really exciting to run after grabbing the male supporting role [Quick wear]
Chapter 56 The Double is Also Merry
Lin Su just had a bad taste for a while, but he didn't expect to deceive himself. Now that he wants to prove that he has no hidden disease, he can't really show him on the spot.
Forget it, it’s a good mistake to think so.
"Get up first." Lin Su supported him and said, "Aren't you tired of talking like this?"
Qingtang tentatively supported his arm, and seeing that he didn't refuse, she pursed her lips and smiled and stood up. When she stood still, she let go and still felt a little bit of nostalgia: "Master."
"Since you want to be with me, you must behave like a housewife in the future. You can't just kneel down, you know?" Lin Su hooked his nose and said, "It's good to have something to say clearly."
"Yes." Qingtang still stared at him intently, unable to hide his happiness at all.
He thought that it would be good if he could stay by the young master's side for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that sometimes there would be pies in the sky.
It was the first time for Lin Su to be stared at by such fiery and undisguised eyes, and the staring person obviously didn't realize that his eyes were too strong.
Lin Su looked back, Qingtang rolled his eyes uncomfortably when he met his gaze, and said at a loss: "Master, I feel like I'm dreaming..."
"Then what can I do to prevent you from feeling like you're dreaming?" Lin Su asked with a smile.
Qing Tang glanced at him, her cheeks were flushed, "May I touch the young master?"
Lin Su took his hand and put it on his face, clasped Qing Tangyi's hand that was nervous to withdraw, and pulled him to sit in his arms.
The young man in his arms had just turned sixteen, so Lin Su shouldn't have done anything logically, but he was chased by such eyes every day, and there were figures of the little guy in front of him and behind him, if Lin Su didn't say anything, with Qingtang's temper I will only suffer from myself, bury this thought in my heart, and never say it out for the rest of my life.
When Qing Tangcong sat on Lin Su's lap, his whole body was stiff, and he didn't even know how to turn his eyes: "Young master, young master..."
"Yeah." Lin Su lowered his head and moved closer. Qingtang held his breath with anticipation. He felt that the beating heart was not his own. He closed his eyes slightly and moved the top of his head slightly. When he opened his eyes, he found that Lin Su held a leaf in his hand.
"The one that fell on my head when I went to dry the books just now, if someone saw it, I should laugh at you." Lin Su put the leaf in his palm and said, "Take it out when you go out."
"Okay..." Qingtang was very soft, he felt that he had to keep this leaf away and keep it hidden, even if the young master didn't want him someday, it would be the best and most beautiful memory.
"Is it real now?" Lin Su supported his shoulder and smiled.
Qingtang subconsciously shook her head: "It's still a dream..."
Lin Su couldn't help laughing, the child was born beautiful, the boy's bones were naturally slender, his face was beautiful, his skin was pierced to the bone, even though he was busy every day, he didn't see a tan, with some baby fat that hadn't faded , such a straightforward response is really like a small animal.
"Then hug for a while?" Lin Su asked.
Qingtang's eyes were bent, and she turned her head subconsciously, but her cheeks were flushed: "Master...would I be...unreserved?"
"Yes." Lin Su looked at him and said.
Qingtang blinked blankly, supported his shoulders and wanted to stand up, but after standing for a long time, he still sat in Lin Su's arms, looked at Lin Su with a dazed expression and said, "Young Master, I can't get up. "
My legs are weak...
"I'll be right away..." Qingtang was a little anxious, but he didn't realize that Lin Su was holding down his shoulders, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry.
"Why are you so reserved?" Lin Su asked him with a smile.
Qing Tang looked up at him with moist eyes: "...I don't want to be rejected by the young master."
"Master likes the way you are not reserved." Lin Su pressed his head on his shoulder, patted his back and said, "Don't worry too much about gains and losses, just be yourself."
Qingtang tentatively put his hand on Lin Su's shoulder and moved closer. He just felt as if he was surrounded by happiness. From birth to now, there has never been a moment as satisfied as he is now. He just felt his heart was full like It was as if something was about to overflow: "Master, Qing Tang is pleased with you."
Maybe my heart has been moved since the first meeting, so I unconsciously look at him, think about him, want to stand by his side, and watching him for a lifetime is enough.
"If another person redeemed you, what would you do?" Lin Su lowered his head and asked.
Qingtang tightened his arms a bit, shook his head in a daze and said, "I don't know, but if it wasn't for the young master, it would be terrible..."
There was a slight tremor in his voice, fate was beyond his control, at this moment he was just glad that he had met this person, and it was hard to imagine the scene after he was redeemed by other people.
Perhaps the embrace was too comfortable, Qingtang sat for a long time, until Lin Su pinched his leg and said: "The leg is numb."
Qingtang hurriedly broke away, but this time she stood firm, but she was extremely shy: "I'll beat your legs, I'm sorry, young master."
Lin Su brushed his hand away and said, "It's okay, just take two steps."
Lin Su took two steps back and forth, Qing Tang carefully supported him, Lin Su glanced at him twice, and bounced off as if his hands and feet were scalded: "It's almost noon, I'll pass the meal to the young master."
He saluted, and jumped out of the room. After a while, Lin Su heard two indistinct cheers: "Ahh!!! That's great!!!"
It was vague and vague, I didn't hear it clearly, I only knew that the little guy was probably venting his inner excitement.
……
"This place is heavier." Lin Su held Qing Tang's fingers and taught him how to practice calligraphy. With a legitimate intimacy, there was no need to keep some distance.
If you want to teach the best, naturally it is the most effective to teach hand in hand.
Qing Tang was holding the hand and writing, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the hands that were intertwined. At the moment when he could have calmed down, he was so restless that he could go out and run a hundred laps around the yard.
"Read the words, don't look at me." Lin Su lowered his head and didn't look at Qingtang, but he knew that the person in his arms had lost his mind and didn't know where he had gone.
Qingtang regained consciousness in a hurry, pressed the button excitedly and wrote: "Qingtang knew it was wrong."
He shouldn't be less motivated just because he was accepted by the young master, but should be more motivated when he is with the young master. If he is a couple in the future, he must not embarrass the young master, thinking that the young master likes someone who is not worthy of him.
With Lin Su's patient teaching, and Qing Tang's cleverness and hard work, although this calligraphy will not make a huge difference in a day, Lin Su can see the progress every day.
Literature can nourish people, and temperament is born from the heart, so there is a saying that there is poetry and calligraphy in the abdomen.
Although Qingtang is not yet like this, the timidity in his eyebrows is slowly receding, even when communicating with ordinary people, he still smiles, instead of being cautious when he first met.
Lin Su did not deliberately shy away from his intimacy with Qingtang. Although the people in the mansion were surprised, there were few people who spoke out. Although some people looked at Qingtang with contempt in private, they did not dare to say it on the face.
It was expected that this kind of thing happened, and it was not something that could be prevented by punishment. Although Qing Tang felt uncomfortable occasionally, every time he was approached by Lin Su, those troubles were all forgotten.
"You don't know how nasty those people's words are." Xikang said to him as usual, "You say that you are a seductive servant, a foxy son, etc., and there is no mistress at home. They would like to, but they don't have that beauty. .”
He has spent the longest time with Qingtang, and he knows how hard this person is. Although he was a little awkward when he knew it at first, he also knows that it is pure fantasy for lazy people like them to be seen by the young master.
Those who speak sour words are not the ones who are envious of the superiors. If they were replaced by themselves, I am afraid they will have another face.
"Follow what they say." Qing Tang chose the dandelion in the bamboo basket and said, "It's just a few sour words, but don't let these words reach the young master's ears, he has been busy enough in the past few days."
"What is this?" Xi Kang picked up a few leaves and asked, "What's the use of doing this?"
"Dandelion, get rid of anger." Qingtang kept moving his hands, his lowered eyebrows showed seriousness, "Young master is too busy these days, adding this to tea is especially good for removing anger."
Under the shadow of the tree and the sun, his whole body had a clear feeling, and his drooping eyelashes seemed to be carrying sunlight. Xi Kang looked at him with his cheeks on his hands and said, "Qingtang, you are so beautiful, no wonder the young master likes you."
Qingtang looked up at him and smiled: "Don't stare at me, you will marry a wife in the future."
"I just praised you a few words." Xikang curled his lips and said, he just thought that Qing Tangruo is really a woman, and she must be no worse than those famous women.
Whether it's a man or a woman, it's not something that a person like him can imagine: "You really look like a housewife."
"I wait for the monthly money of Master Shi, so naturally I have to be considerate for him. These... are all my duty." Qing Tang smiled.
He can't do much for the young master, he can only do his best to make the young master more comfortable and at ease when he returns home.
Lin Su is indeed busy these days, one is busy with the closing of the previous donation case, and the other is busy with child trafficking.
"There are hungry people on the road, and it is a symbol of troubled times for the people to change their children to eat." Lin Su said solemnly in the court hall, "Nowadays is a peaceful and prosperous age, but there are still things like selling children. To make the people live and work in peace and contentment?"
As soon as the words came out, all the courts and halls were safe, and Emperor Zhaoyang's face showed no joy or anger: "What do you think Ai Qing should do?"
"Severe investigation and heavy punishment should be imposed to put an end to this practice." Lin Su threw the ground with a loud voice.
Naturally, some people objected to this matter. There are many people who need to serve among the nobles, and it is common to buy and sell slaves. If poor and weak families cannot sell their children at will, even having servants in the family is not enough.
This matter is not so easy to change, especially when it involves class changes and the interests of high-ranking dignitaries, there are even more voices of opposition.
Lin Su knew that this was not the best time to bring up this matter, but since he had decided to do it, he had to start, this time it was just a wake-up call.
"What exactly is Lin Aiqing thinking?" Emperor Zhaoyang was also troubled by this matter.
Lin Su eloquently said: "There are sons in the people's families. If they study and learn, many of them are very talented. If they can gather around His Majesty, they can serve the country even more. But if they sell them at will, they will be their servants." In a lifetime, His Majesty will lose countless talents."
"There are quite a few people employed in the palace." Emperor Zhaoyang said, "If no one is willing, what should we do?"
"Your Majesty is benevolent. The people employed in the palace are established according to regulations, and the number of people employed is still reduced in order to reduce expenses. Your Majesty is still like this, but some officials are hugging each other when they travel. The scene is amazing." Lin Su replied. .
It is impossible to completely eradicate it. The class division of this era is here. What he wants to eradicate is random buying and selling, arbitrary killing, and not treating human life as human life, but only as an object to play with.
Although the interests of high-ranking officials will make the officials object, but if it violates the emperor's bottom line, no matter how much the officials object, they will obediently shrink their heads.
Emperor Zhaoyang looked at him, sighed and said, "I see, you should step back first."
They are both human beings, so they naturally know each other's goals, but even if they know, they can't ignore things that violate the bottom line.
Although Lin Su was busy, he didn't take up too much time at home. When he was resting, he would take Qingtang to the streets to show him the customs and customs of the capital.
"The sugar seller..."
"Candied haws...Young master, take a look."
There was novelty in Qingtang's eyes, but he didn't ask Lin Su what he wanted. Lin Su followed his gaze, bought a candied haws and put it in his hand: "Take it."
He told him to hold it, so he obediently held it and carried it all the way. Lin Su asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Qingtang was confused: "Isn't this the young master's?"
"Here's something to eat." Lin Su grabbed his shoulders to avoid passers-by, "Be careful, don't hit anyone."
Holding the candied haws, Qingtang looked at the passing children who were led by their parents to hold the candied haws, and felt a little heat in their eyes: "Thank you, young master, but you haven't had any yet."
A gentleman eats without walking, but there is no hindrance to him. Lin Su grabbed his wrist, lowered his head and bit off a piece of candied haws, saying: "Okay, I have mine too."
Qing Tang's eyes straightened, and his face blushed: "Young Master, Young Master..."
Before he could react, Lin Su had already turned around and walked a few steps away. His expression was so natural that passers-by couldn't help but look at it. He turned his head and said, "If you don't leave, you will be left behind."
"Here we come." Qing Tang trotted along holding the candied haws and followed, looking at the candied haws but reluctant to eat them.
This is the candied haws that the young master has bitten, I really want to treasure it, but this kind of thing will go bad after a long time, what a pity...
Pedestrians crowded the street, and Qing Tang followed Lin Su all the way, but suddenly realized that his hands were being held.
Looking down, Lin Su's wide sleeves covered the hands they were holding, which was gentle and powerful, like the secret happiness that belonged to only two people.
The corners of Qingtang's mouth curled up, and he forcibly suppressed his happiness and followed.
It wasn't long before the two held hands, and they loosened it when they arrived at the restaurant for dinner, but Qing Tang looked at his hands contentedly, and felt that he didn't really want to wash his hands today.
"Go and wash your hands before dinner." Lin Su pointed to the corner of the private room, where there was a water basin just brought by Xiaoer, which was specially for the guests, and he was very considerate.
Qing Tang hesitated, but chose to listen to Lin Su's words, but after washing his hands and sitting in his seat, he was not as excited as before.
Lin Sujing passed his hand, shook his regretful hand very naturally, and said, "Okay, I'll make it up for you."
Qingtang blinked his eyes, his ears could hear his heart beating again, he looked at Lin Su as if there were stars hidden in his eyes: "Master, you are so kind!"
How could there be such a good young master in the world?So good that he doesn't want to give it to anyone.
People are really greedy creatures. It is enough to expect to be with you when you don’t get it. If you can be with you, you still long to be loved. After you get it, you hope that this person is just for you.
"Insatiable greed, you will be hated..." Qingtang murmured unconsciously, and when he realized it, he looked at Lin Su nervously, "That's not what I meant."
"It's okay to be greedy only for me." Lin Su handed him the chopsticks and said, "You will worry about gains and losses, and want to possess, which means that you like me, and I am the same."
Being looked at, stared at, and cared for by others, as if he was his whole world, Lin Su felt that he would never have such passion and love that burned his life, but this did not prevent him from feel that feeling in others.
Especially the affection from a pretty and docile little guy.
The smile on Qingtang's face could no longer be concealed: "Really?! But the young master can't see it at all."
"Literati pay attention to reservations. If both of us can't hold our breath, everyone on the street will see it." Lin Su laughed.
Qingtang also knew that he couldn't hold his breath anymore, but he was so happy: "I can still hold my breath in front of others."
It's just that when he saw the young master, he felt like a deer bumping his heart. No matter how much he couldn't be comforted, let's forget it. The young master would make the deer dance wildly again with a single move from time to time, but he just liked the young master's inadvertent actions.
The lunch was not too extravagant, and both of them left the restaurant after a simple meal.
It's cool in the morning, suitable for shopping, and the sun is a bit bright in the afternoon. The two of them had made an appointment to go to the shop to read ancient books. They walked there and talked with each other, but when they passed by the government, they saw something unpleasant. scene.
"The former Mr. Qi has now become a waiter's thing. If you take it home and recite poems, it will be more enjoyable than the people in the hall. I will give you 500 taels of silver."
"I bought Tanhualang for 500 taels, just kidding, but at least I got 1000 taels."
"Young Master Li is really rich, I will give you one thousand and one hundred taels."
"1000 two hundred taels."
The government didn't even need paperwork to sell the official slaves, but Qi Qingyi was too special about the matter of a few taels of silver.
He has outstanding literary talents and outstanding appearance. He was once a first-class talent in the capital. Many people admired him, and many people were suppressed by him and couldn't hold their heads up.
The wall is overthrown and everyone pushes against it. Once you are down, even if your friends want to help, they can't match the wealth of those who want to humiliate.
Among the crowd who wanted to buy it, Yang Cheng stood in the row anxiously: "300 taels."
In the original world line, he really spent a lot of money to bring Qi Qingyi back, compared to Qingtang's initial 500 taels, it was countless times higher.
Although Yang Tongzhi's family is not rich, his wife has a lot of wealth. Yang Cheng is the eldest son of the direct line and has won a Jinshi. It's not impossible to be promoted, so taking out a few thousand taels will hurt your muscles and bones, but it's better than missing your heart.
"That seems to be Mr. Qi." Qing Tang knew Qi Qingyi.
It's just that Qi Qingyi at this time is different from the previous high-spiritedness. He is now dressed in coarse linen clothes and his hair is messy.
Being bought by someone like a competing oiran, I am afraid that he has never received such treatment in his life, and he has never thought that there will be such a humiliating moment. Such an encounter is almost a fatal blow to a person like him.
"Let's go." Lin Su didn't stop, and Qing Tang just sighed and followed behind him.
The young master said that someone loves him and loves him, and if he is willing to spend so much money to redeem him, he should treat him well.
Qi Qingyi was staring blankly at the competition in front of him. The current situation made him feel ashamed. It's a pity that today is different from the past. He is powerless to fight. It doesn't matter what will happen to him. He just wants to reverse the case, and he wants to tell His Majesty that their family He was wronged, and his father never did those things.
Glancing over from the corner of the eye, he caught sight of a familiar figure. Qi Qingyi subconsciously wanted to cover his face, but when he saw his pace of leaving without hesitation after just a glance, his heart ached for no reason. Beside Su, the boy similar to him was following him, behaving intimately with him.
"Lin Zhiyuan!" Qi Qingyi suddenly shouted.
The bidders looked over one after another. Lin Su didn't want to cause trouble at first, but he didn't expect Qi Qingyi to call him out. He stopped, and he naturally pulled Qingtang behind him.
"Why is Brother Lin here? Could it be that he also has some intentions for Tanhua Lang?"
"If you want to talk about the power of the Qi family, because brother Lin won his son's first prize, he has been targeted a lot in the past year. If he is brother Lin's slave, then let him know how powerful he is."
"As officials in the same field, it's normal to have disagreements, and it's not targeted." Lin Su said with a smile, "If you are interested, you can make a move. Lin will leave."
"Don't go, what are you hiding behind this?" Someone deliberately walked around, and was stunned when he saw Qing Tang behind Lin Su.
The boy's stature was about half a head lower than Lin Su's, his slender frame was just blocked, and his appearance was eighty percent similar to Qi Qingyisheng's. Like the woods after the rain, it is not pure like a person staying in the capital.
"He also said that Qi Qingyi is not interested. It's not that he found someone who looks similar, but this one is cuter." The man wanted to touch Qingtang's cheek, but Lin Su blocked it with his hand.
"Brother Cunzhi, talking is talking, it's not good to do it." Lin Su looked at him and said, the intention of protecting was very obvious.
"I also got excited when I saw Lie. I didn't expect Brother Lin to hide this person like Qi Qingyi so well." The man said.
The others also looked over, and Yang Cheng's expression was even more complicated, because he just heard Qi Qingyi calling Lin Su's name.
The scene of maintenance was seen by Qi Qingyi. He used to disdain to see that young man who was similar to him, but he never thought that he would meet him when he was at his most downcast. Speaking of which, he was indeed similar to him, but he was protected too well It's a little bit more, that brows and eyes are full of ignorance and innocence, which is the complete opposite of him.
That ignorant and defended appearance made people feel disgusted when they saw it, Qi Qingyi said: "Lin Su, help me once, if there is a need in the future, I will definitely repay the favor."
"Lin Su has no property, and his salary is really not much. I don't have any money left to help Brother Wen Jue. I'm sorry." Lin Su didn't humiliate him, but the indifference in his words made Qi Qingyi feel very cold.
Lin Su protected Qing Tang to leave, but Qi Qingyi stepped forward and grabbed him by the hem of his clothes: "Do you dare to say that you didn't redeem this man for me?! You spent 300 taels to redeem him, even though I am now Difficulty, but in the future..."
"There is no future." Lin Su tore off the hem of his clothes, and kept the dazed Qing Tang behind him, "Brother Qi misunderstood, I never redeemed Qing Tang because of others, goodbye."
His complexion turned cold, and those dudes knew that he was a celebrity in front of His Majesty, so they only dared to laugh, but they didn't want to really offend them. After seeing the two of them leave, one of them directly kicked Qi Qingyi: "It turns out that our criminal minister His son, Qi Qingyi, likes Master Lin, but it's a pity that there are people in his family who don't like you anymore."
"What are you doing? The buyer is the buyer, how can you kick and beat at will?" Yang Cheng stepped up and hugged Qi Qingyi in his arms to check, "Are you okay?"
"Who am I, a son of a fellow confidant dares to come to the capital to act recklessly?" Someone shouted, "Why, I fell in love with him. I said before that the eyeballs are the same as those on his body. How about it, I don't feel embarrassed." You, as long as our Lord Yang can crawl on the ground twice and bark like a dog, we will give up Qi Qingyi to you, and let you take him back to Qinglianmiai?"
Before Yang Cheng could agree, Qi Qingyi had already pushed him away: "Who are you?"
"Wen Jue, I won't do this to you." Yang Cheng supported him and said seriously, "I will protect you, don't be afraid."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Although the laughter of the people around didn't hit him, it made Qi Qingyi more uncomfortable than hitting him.
Lin Su, Lin Su...why did that person treat a young lady better than him?Is it just because he is the son of a criminal minister?
The sound of laughing and scolding was endless, Qing Tang tightened Lin Su's sleeves and said, "Young Master, don't be angry."
"Aren't you angry when he said that I redeemed you for him?" Lin Su asked.
Qing Tang raised his head and smiled and said, "The young master said that I am who I am, and I only believe what the young master said."
"Even if it's what I say, sometimes you can't believe it all. If you believe it so stupidly, aren't you afraid that I will sell you one day?" Lin Su laughed.
Qingtang shook his head: "I believe the young master won't."
If there is such a day, he will probably feel ashamed, but before that moment, he will always choose to believe in this person in front of him.
"Let's go." Lin Su took his hand and said, "Today I still have to learn ink painting, so I can't waste time."
Qingtang felt bitter when he pulled him, ink painting Danqing, this is really the most difficult thing in the world to learn.
The matter of Qi Qingyi has been raging in the capital for a few days. It is rumored that a man spent 3000 taels to take him away. When he took him away, both of them were injured.
The rumors came and went quickly, but they dissipated within a few months, and Qingtang's orchid painting finally changed from a pile of weeds to a somewhat orchid-like appearance.
The two of them behaved intimately. It is not that no one has impeached them, but with His Majesty as an example, the Longyang matter has not been resisted as before in the court and the public. Wanting to impeach Lin Su is to offend His Majesty. Those old foxes can only sigh with emotion. The newly appointed Hubu doctor is really cunning and cunning.
But everyone can see that Lin Su is honored by His Majesty. The champions of the new disciplines enter the Imperial Academy after three years before they are selected for promotion. It is rare for Lin Su to pass the first rank and become the fifth rank in less than three years. A large number of officials had been laid off before, and there were vacancies, and Lin Su was a very capable person, so it was quite normal for him to be elected to the household department.
"If you want me to say that this fifth grade doctor is just the first step, it's just a step."
"It is rumored that this doctor has a hidden disease and cannot have any heirs. Even if he seizes power, he will serve His Majesty. It is the most useful."
"There are gains and losses, and a childless person is also a poor person."
The old fox sees far and wide, and Emperor Zhaoyang really has this plan. If they can see through, Lin Su can also see through, so he naturally seized the opportunity and worked hard to climb up.
The Ministry of Households is the pocketbook of the country, and an upright businessman in the name of the country will not only not be opposed, but will also be praised by all parties, especially Emperor Zhaoyang himself really admired Lin Su.
Sufficient treasury is what the emperors of all dynasties yearn for. If Emperor Zhaoyang wants to expand the territory, he must get rich money. In the past, if it is disaster relief or building a palace, it has to be considered before considering the cost of money, but now it is... …
"Lin Aiqing, I want to build a palace in Liyang, can the state treasury support it?" Emperor Zhaoyang asked.
Lin Su reported with a wat board: "This year's tax revenue has doubled compared with previous years, and there are 30 taels of silver for His Majesty's construction of the palace. As much as His Majesty wants to use, I can hand it over to the Ministry of Industry."
……
"This time the border victory, I want to reward the soldiers, Lin Aiqing..." Emperor Zhaoyang subconsciously looked for Lin Su as soon as he had money.
"I will hand over the memorial later, and I will not let the border guards feel cold." Lin Su said respectfully.
Even if the minister wants to join him, he can't find a chance. After all, the treasury has sufficient silver, and the silver issued by His Majesty is much richer than in previous years.
"Lord Lin is really the pillar of the country, with Lord Lin in the household department, His Majesty really can rest easy." The minister praised.
"Since Lin Aiqing has made such great contributions, I remember that there was a vacancy for the position of Zuo Shilang in the Household Department. Lin Aiqing should try it for two days." Emperor Zhaoyang said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Lin Su took the order to thank him.
The new official uniform entered the Lin family along with the emperor's will. Qing Tang took over the official uniform, and was a little happy after the person left: "Master, the left servant of the household department is a third-rank official, so promoted, do you want to celebrate?" ?”
"This matter should only be celebrated in our own courtyard, there is no need to make it too public." Lin Su laughed.
Qing Tang nodded, just puzzled: "Why?"
"It's easy to fall when you climb high. If you get the benefits, it's better not to show it around." Lin Su knew that Emperor Zhaoyang's slight high position was because he valued his ability, and the second was because he had no attachments. It all depended on the emperor's likes and dislikes. A firm foothold still depends on political achievements.
Qing Tang nodded, although Zhang Luo had eaten well in the whole yard for three days and then handed out rewards, but there was no publicity outside.
Others would only say that the new Hubu Zuo Shilang is modest and steady.
It's just that the matter of being promoted is not a secret after all, the news spread back to Qinghe Mansion, but it shocked the whole Lin family again.
"Master, that's a third-rank official. Zhiyuan is becoming more and more promising now. This year, we hope to take part in the provincial examination. Can you ask Zhiyuan to give me instructions?" The stepmother knew that Lin Su was promoted in succession, and his heart ached and he Very hungry.
Lin Wang is the youngest son of the first wife, born of his stepmother. Father Lin has always loved him, but how can a woman understand the way of officialdom: "Now that the foundation of Zhiyuan is not stable, even if it is stable, don't act recklessly. His Majesty the first grade official of the Shangshu said that he would copy the house, not to mention the Lin family, Wanger is smart, even if he doesn't pass this year, he will have to take the exam next year."
"Yes." The step-wife failed to achieve his goal and got a lot of reprimands, so he was naturally not very happy.
Seeing that her original partner's son is getting more and more powerful, she has treated him badly before, if Wang'er enters the court, wouldn't she be suppressed by him?
Father Lin could sense what she was thinking even after years of getting along with her. He frowned and said, "Now Zhiyuan is as prosperous as the entire Lin family, and he sent a letter back saying that he is in ill health and he is afraid that he will have no heirs. For the sake of inheritance, don't make a mistake and make fun of the entire Lin family."
The stepmother was stunned: "Is this really true?"
"Of course it is true." Father Lin showed her the letter, "Since he wants to be a filial son, you should also be a good aunt. Don't cause trouble for him."
The step-wife took the letter and read it from beginning to end, and there was no trace of resentment before: "Master, what you said, I am Zhiyuan's mother, how could I harm him, it must be too late to protect him .”
That kid has no descendants, no matter how old he is, it will be cheaper for her son. It's good to be a high-ranking official, and she will be in a hurry with anyone who dares to make trouble with her eldest son!
If things can be introduced to the Lin family, they can also be introduced to the Yang family. There is an attic and a small courtyard. Although there are servants serving him, Yang Cheng has been gentle and careless for many years. He never dared to touch him without his permission, but he was locked in these four quarters In the courtyard, Qi Qingyi felt like a canary in a cage.
The third-rank household servant, but I haven't seen him for two years, he has already been promoted to the third-rank, I don't know how high-spirited he is, and he will have to work hard for a year before he can get rid of his current status as an official slave.
"You're thinking about him again, aren't you?" Yang Cheng stepped into the courtyard and looked at his back.
Qi Qingyi just glanced at him, and sat quietly at the side: "You think too much, we are just colleagues."
"I haven't said who it is yet." Yang Cheng stepped forward and held his shoulder and said, "Can't you take a look at me? Although I have only been promoted to the sixth rank now, I will be able to enter the capital one day. When your father's case..."
"Can you agree to my father's case, can your father agree?" Qi Qingyi sneered and said, "Do you dare to pay the entire Yang family to reverse the case for me? You want to compare with him, what do you compare with him? ? Don’t talk about appearance, just talk about literary talents. You are not as good as him, you are not as good as him in conversation, and you are not as good as him in political achievements. Why do you have it?"
He knew that he was in a daze, as if he had gotten into a strange circle, from the beginning when he thought that Lin Su liked him so he bought the double, to the weirdness in his heart when he knew he had a hidden disease, to the later when he saw him defending that person so much pain in the heart.
He originally thought that he liked women, but now he realizes that he actually likes men, but it used to be the difference between clouds and mud, and now it is even more so.
"Qi Qingyi!" Yang Cheng trembled all over, "Do you have any heart? I refused all the marriages my father arranged for me, and being rumored to be good for Long Yang, being ridiculed by others is all because of you, do you understand? "
"Get out." Qi Qingyi said coldly.
"He is a eunuch, inhumane!" Yang Cheng took a deep breath.
"So what." Qi Qingyi looked at him indifferently.
Yang Cheng's eyes were red, Qi Qingyi looked at him warily, Yang Cheng finally walked out with his shoulders slumped.
Lin Su became the servant of the household department, but the mansion had to be changed again. He thought it was enough, but the emperor didn't want to treat the meritorious officials harshly. Pin Tongzheng left counselor, seemingly promoted, but this position is useless, really has no real power, and the courtiers are too lazy to even participate in the previous book.
Naturally, this position was not what Emperor Zhaoyang wanted to give at the beginning, otherwise it would be a slap in the face to Lin Su, but Lin Su asked for it.
"Although father's important matters are still clear, but small matters are easy to be confused. If he really gets the real position, he may cause trouble. The capital is deep, so it's better to let father live in his life." Lin Su said frankly.
Emperor Zhaoyang was really surprised when he heard the words: "Didn't you always call yourself a filial son? How can you talk about your father like that?"
"In the hearts of ministers, the king is paramount. Although filial piety is important, you must not miss the state affairs, otherwise you will be disloyal to the king." Lin Su's words are really hypocritical, but the emperor loves to hear them.
The new emperor ascended the throne at a young age, so naturally it was not all smooth sailing. The previous emperor had partiality. It would be deceiving to say how filial the new emperor was to his father, but it was just for the world to see. Although Lin Su wanted to show off, he didn't have to Pretend too much.
"Aiqing is indeed on the same side as me." Emperor Zhaoyang said meaningfully.
Lin Su naturally thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."
Lin Su had a yard, and his parents were going to Beijing, so he would not say that he would let his parents live in another house, but he was not afraid, but Qing Tang was really worried.
"Master, what if I can't take care of you well?" Qing Tang has grown a little in the past two years.
Forget it, it’s a good mistake to think so.
"Get up first." Lin Su supported him and said, "Aren't you tired of talking like this?"
Qingtang tentatively supported his arm, and seeing that he didn't refuse, she pursed her lips and smiled and stood up. When she stood still, she let go and still felt a little bit of nostalgia: "Master."
"Since you want to be with me, you must behave like a housewife in the future. You can't just kneel down, you know?" Lin Su hooked his nose and said, "It's good to have something to say clearly."
"Yes." Qingtang still stared at him intently, unable to hide his happiness at all.
He thought that it would be good if he could stay by the young master's side for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that sometimes there would be pies in the sky.
It was the first time for Lin Su to be stared at by such fiery and undisguised eyes, and the staring person obviously didn't realize that his eyes were too strong.
Lin Su looked back, Qingtang rolled his eyes uncomfortably when he met his gaze, and said at a loss: "Master, I feel like I'm dreaming..."
"Then what can I do to prevent you from feeling like you're dreaming?" Lin Su asked with a smile.
Qing Tang glanced at him, her cheeks were flushed, "May I touch the young master?"
Lin Su took his hand and put it on his face, clasped Qing Tangyi's hand that was nervous to withdraw, and pulled him to sit in his arms.
The young man in his arms had just turned sixteen, so Lin Su shouldn't have done anything logically, but he was chased by such eyes every day, and there were figures of the little guy in front of him and behind him, if Lin Su didn't say anything, with Qingtang's temper I will only suffer from myself, bury this thought in my heart, and never say it out for the rest of my life.
When Qing Tangcong sat on Lin Su's lap, his whole body was stiff, and he didn't even know how to turn his eyes: "Young master, young master..."
"Yeah." Lin Su lowered his head and moved closer. Qingtang held his breath with anticipation. He felt that the beating heart was not his own. He closed his eyes slightly and moved the top of his head slightly. When he opened his eyes, he found that Lin Su held a leaf in his hand.
"The one that fell on my head when I went to dry the books just now, if someone saw it, I should laugh at you." Lin Su put the leaf in his palm and said, "Take it out when you go out."
"Okay..." Qingtang was very soft, he felt that he had to keep this leaf away and keep it hidden, even if the young master didn't want him someday, it would be the best and most beautiful memory.
"Is it real now?" Lin Su supported his shoulder and smiled.
Qingtang subconsciously shook her head: "It's still a dream..."
Lin Su couldn't help laughing, the child was born beautiful, the boy's bones were naturally slender, his face was beautiful, his skin was pierced to the bone, even though he was busy every day, he didn't see a tan, with some baby fat that hadn't faded , such a straightforward response is really like a small animal.
"Then hug for a while?" Lin Su asked.
Qingtang's eyes were bent, and she turned her head subconsciously, but her cheeks were flushed: "Master...would I be...unreserved?"
"Yes." Lin Su looked at him and said.
Qingtang blinked blankly, supported his shoulders and wanted to stand up, but after standing for a long time, he still sat in Lin Su's arms, looked at Lin Su with a dazed expression and said, "Young Master, I can't get up. "
My legs are weak...
"I'll be right away..." Qingtang was a little anxious, but he didn't realize that Lin Su was holding down his shoulders, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry.
"Why are you so reserved?" Lin Su asked him with a smile.
Qing Tang looked up at him with moist eyes: "...I don't want to be rejected by the young master."
"Master likes the way you are not reserved." Lin Su pressed his head on his shoulder, patted his back and said, "Don't worry too much about gains and losses, just be yourself."
Qingtang tentatively put his hand on Lin Su's shoulder and moved closer. He just felt as if he was surrounded by happiness. From birth to now, there has never been a moment as satisfied as he is now. He just felt his heart was full like It was as if something was about to overflow: "Master, Qing Tang is pleased with you."
Maybe my heart has been moved since the first meeting, so I unconsciously look at him, think about him, want to stand by his side, and watching him for a lifetime is enough.
"If another person redeemed you, what would you do?" Lin Su lowered his head and asked.
Qingtang tightened his arms a bit, shook his head in a daze and said, "I don't know, but if it wasn't for the young master, it would be terrible..."
There was a slight tremor in his voice, fate was beyond his control, at this moment he was just glad that he had met this person, and it was hard to imagine the scene after he was redeemed by other people.
Perhaps the embrace was too comfortable, Qingtang sat for a long time, until Lin Su pinched his leg and said: "The leg is numb."
Qingtang hurriedly broke away, but this time she stood firm, but she was extremely shy: "I'll beat your legs, I'm sorry, young master."
Lin Su brushed his hand away and said, "It's okay, just take two steps."
Lin Su took two steps back and forth, Qing Tang carefully supported him, Lin Su glanced at him twice, and bounced off as if his hands and feet were scalded: "It's almost noon, I'll pass the meal to the young master."
He saluted, and jumped out of the room. After a while, Lin Su heard two indistinct cheers: "Ahh!!! That's great!!!"
It was vague and vague, I didn't hear it clearly, I only knew that the little guy was probably venting his inner excitement.
……
"This place is heavier." Lin Su held Qing Tang's fingers and taught him how to practice calligraphy. With a legitimate intimacy, there was no need to keep some distance.
If you want to teach the best, naturally it is the most effective to teach hand in hand.
Qing Tang was holding the hand and writing, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the hands that were intertwined. At the moment when he could have calmed down, he was so restless that he could go out and run a hundred laps around the yard.
"Read the words, don't look at me." Lin Su lowered his head and didn't look at Qingtang, but he knew that the person in his arms had lost his mind and didn't know where he had gone.
Qingtang regained consciousness in a hurry, pressed the button excitedly and wrote: "Qingtang knew it was wrong."
He shouldn't be less motivated just because he was accepted by the young master, but should be more motivated when he is with the young master. If he is a couple in the future, he must not embarrass the young master, thinking that the young master likes someone who is not worthy of him.
With Lin Su's patient teaching, and Qing Tang's cleverness and hard work, although this calligraphy will not make a huge difference in a day, Lin Su can see the progress every day.
Literature can nourish people, and temperament is born from the heart, so there is a saying that there is poetry and calligraphy in the abdomen.
Although Qingtang is not yet like this, the timidity in his eyebrows is slowly receding, even when communicating with ordinary people, he still smiles, instead of being cautious when he first met.
Lin Su did not deliberately shy away from his intimacy with Qingtang. Although the people in the mansion were surprised, there were few people who spoke out. Although some people looked at Qingtang with contempt in private, they did not dare to say it on the face.
It was expected that this kind of thing happened, and it was not something that could be prevented by punishment. Although Qing Tang felt uncomfortable occasionally, every time he was approached by Lin Su, those troubles were all forgotten.
"You don't know how nasty those people's words are." Xikang said to him as usual, "You say that you are a seductive servant, a foxy son, etc., and there is no mistress at home. They would like to, but they don't have that beauty. .”
He has spent the longest time with Qingtang, and he knows how hard this person is. Although he was a little awkward when he knew it at first, he also knows that it is pure fantasy for lazy people like them to be seen by the young master.
Those who speak sour words are not the ones who are envious of the superiors. If they were replaced by themselves, I am afraid they will have another face.
"Follow what they say." Qing Tang chose the dandelion in the bamboo basket and said, "It's just a few sour words, but don't let these words reach the young master's ears, he has been busy enough in the past few days."
"What is this?" Xi Kang picked up a few leaves and asked, "What's the use of doing this?"
"Dandelion, get rid of anger." Qingtang kept moving his hands, his lowered eyebrows showed seriousness, "Young master is too busy these days, adding this to tea is especially good for removing anger."
Under the shadow of the tree and the sun, his whole body had a clear feeling, and his drooping eyelashes seemed to be carrying sunlight. Xi Kang looked at him with his cheeks on his hands and said, "Qingtang, you are so beautiful, no wonder the young master likes you."
Qingtang looked up at him and smiled: "Don't stare at me, you will marry a wife in the future."
"I just praised you a few words." Xikang curled his lips and said, he just thought that Qing Tangruo is really a woman, and she must be no worse than those famous women.
Whether it's a man or a woman, it's not something that a person like him can imagine: "You really look like a housewife."
"I wait for the monthly money of Master Shi, so naturally I have to be considerate for him. These... are all my duty." Qing Tang smiled.
He can't do much for the young master, he can only do his best to make the young master more comfortable and at ease when he returns home.
Lin Su is indeed busy these days, one is busy with the closing of the previous donation case, and the other is busy with child trafficking.
"There are hungry people on the road, and it is a symbol of troubled times for the people to change their children to eat." Lin Su said solemnly in the court hall, "Nowadays is a peaceful and prosperous age, but there are still things like selling children. To make the people live and work in peace and contentment?"
As soon as the words came out, all the courts and halls were safe, and Emperor Zhaoyang's face showed no joy or anger: "What do you think Ai Qing should do?"
"Severe investigation and heavy punishment should be imposed to put an end to this practice." Lin Su threw the ground with a loud voice.
Naturally, some people objected to this matter. There are many people who need to serve among the nobles, and it is common to buy and sell slaves. If poor and weak families cannot sell their children at will, even having servants in the family is not enough.
This matter is not so easy to change, especially when it involves class changes and the interests of high-ranking dignitaries, there are even more voices of opposition.
Lin Su knew that this was not the best time to bring up this matter, but since he had decided to do it, he had to start, this time it was just a wake-up call.
"What exactly is Lin Aiqing thinking?" Emperor Zhaoyang was also troubled by this matter.
Lin Su eloquently said: "There are sons in the people's families. If they study and learn, many of them are very talented. If they can gather around His Majesty, they can serve the country even more. But if they sell them at will, they will be their servants." In a lifetime, His Majesty will lose countless talents."
"There are quite a few people employed in the palace." Emperor Zhaoyang said, "If no one is willing, what should we do?"
"Your Majesty is benevolent. The people employed in the palace are established according to regulations, and the number of people employed is still reduced in order to reduce expenses. Your Majesty is still like this, but some officials are hugging each other when they travel. The scene is amazing." Lin Su replied. .
It is impossible to completely eradicate it. The class division of this era is here. What he wants to eradicate is random buying and selling, arbitrary killing, and not treating human life as human life, but only as an object to play with.
Although the interests of high-ranking officials will make the officials object, but if it violates the emperor's bottom line, no matter how much the officials object, they will obediently shrink their heads.
Emperor Zhaoyang looked at him, sighed and said, "I see, you should step back first."
They are both human beings, so they naturally know each other's goals, but even if they know, they can't ignore things that violate the bottom line.
Although Lin Su was busy, he didn't take up too much time at home. When he was resting, he would take Qingtang to the streets to show him the customs and customs of the capital.
"The sugar seller..."
"Candied haws...Young master, take a look."
There was novelty in Qingtang's eyes, but he didn't ask Lin Su what he wanted. Lin Su followed his gaze, bought a candied haws and put it in his hand: "Take it."
He told him to hold it, so he obediently held it and carried it all the way. Lin Su asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Qingtang was confused: "Isn't this the young master's?"
"Here's something to eat." Lin Su grabbed his shoulders to avoid passers-by, "Be careful, don't hit anyone."
Holding the candied haws, Qingtang looked at the passing children who were led by their parents to hold the candied haws, and felt a little heat in their eyes: "Thank you, young master, but you haven't had any yet."
A gentleman eats without walking, but there is no hindrance to him. Lin Su grabbed his wrist, lowered his head and bit off a piece of candied haws, saying: "Okay, I have mine too."
Qing Tang's eyes straightened, and his face blushed: "Young Master, Young Master..."
Before he could react, Lin Su had already turned around and walked a few steps away. His expression was so natural that passers-by couldn't help but look at it. He turned his head and said, "If you don't leave, you will be left behind."
"Here we come." Qing Tang trotted along holding the candied haws and followed, looking at the candied haws but reluctant to eat them.
This is the candied haws that the young master has bitten, I really want to treasure it, but this kind of thing will go bad after a long time, what a pity...
Pedestrians crowded the street, and Qing Tang followed Lin Su all the way, but suddenly realized that his hands were being held.
Looking down, Lin Su's wide sleeves covered the hands they were holding, which was gentle and powerful, like the secret happiness that belonged to only two people.
The corners of Qingtang's mouth curled up, and he forcibly suppressed his happiness and followed.
It wasn't long before the two held hands, and they loosened it when they arrived at the restaurant for dinner, but Qing Tang looked at his hands contentedly, and felt that he didn't really want to wash his hands today.
"Go and wash your hands before dinner." Lin Su pointed to the corner of the private room, where there was a water basin just brought by Xiaoer, which was specially for the guests, and he was very considerate.
Qing Tang hesitated, but chose to listen to Lin Su's words, but after washing his hands and sitting in his seat, he was not as excited as before.
Lin Sujing passed his hand, shook his regretful hand very naturally, and said, "Okay, I'll make it up for you."
Qingtang blinked his eyes, his ears could hear his heart beating again, he looked at Lin Su as if there were stars hidden in his eyes: "Master, you are so kind!"
How could there be such a good young master in the world?So good that he doesn't want to give it to anyone.
People are really greedy creatures. It is enough to expect to be with you when you don’t get it. If you can be with you, you still long to be loved. After you get it, you hope that this person is just for you.
"Insatiable greed, you will be hated..." Qingtang murmured unconsciously, and when he realized it, he looked at Lin Su nervously, "That's not what I meant."
"It's okay to be greedy only for me." Lin Su handed him the chopsticks and said, "You will worry about gains and losses, and want to possess, which means that you like me, and I am the same."
Being looked at, stared at, and cared for by others, as if he was his whole world, Lin Su felt that he would never have such passion and love that burned his life, but this did not prevent him from feel that feeling in others.
Especially the affection from a pretty and docile little guy.
The smile on Qingtang's face could no longer be concealed: "Really?! But the young master can't see it at all."
"Literati pay attention to reservations. If both of us can't hold our breath, everyone on the street will see it." Lin Su laughed.
Qingtang also knew that he couldn't hold his breath anymore, but he was so happy: "I can still hold my breath in front of others."
It's just that when he saw the young master, he felt like a deer bumping his heart. No matter how much he couldn't be comforted, let's forget it. The young master would make the deer dance wildly again with a single move from time to time, but he just liked the young master's inadvertent actions.
The lunch was not too extravagant, and both of them left the restaurant after a simple meal.
It's cool in the morning, suitable for shopping, and the sun is a bit bright in the afternoon. The two of them had made an appointment to go to the shop to read ancient books. They walked there and talked with each other, but when they passed by the government, they saw something unpleasant. scene.
"The former Mr. Qi has now become a waiter's thing. If you take it home and recite poems, it will be more enjoyable than the people in the hall. I will give you 500 taels of silver."
"I bought Tanhualang for 500 taels, just kidding, but at least I got 1000 taels."
"Young Master Li is really rich, I will give you one thousand and one hundred taels."
"1000 two hundred taels."
The government didn't even need paperwork to sell the official slaves, but Qi Qingyi was too special about the matter of a few taels of silver.
He has outstanding literary talents and outstanding appearance. He was once a first-class talent in the capital. Many people admired him, and many people were suppressed by him and couldn't hold their heads up.
The wall is overthrown and everyone pushes against it. Once you are down, even if your friends want to help, they can't match the wealth of those who want to humiliate.
Among the crowd who wanted to buy it, Yang Cheng stood in the row anxiously: "300 taels."
In the original world line, he really spent a lot of money to bring Qi Qingyi back, compared to Qingtang's initial 500 taels, it was countless times higher.
Although Yang Tongzhi's family is not rich, his wife has a lot of wealth. Yang Cheng is the eldest son of the direct line and has won a Jinshi. It's not impossible to be promoted, so taking out a few thousand taels will hurt your muscles and bones, but it's better than missing your heart.
"That seems to be Mr. Qi." Qing Tang knew Qi Qingyi.
It's just that Qi Qingyi at this time is different from the previous high-spiritedness. He is now dressed in coarse linen clothes and his hair is messy.
Being bought by someone like a competing oiran, I am afraid that he has never received such treatment in his life, and he has never thought that there will be such a humiliating moment. Such an encounter is almost a fatal blow to a person like him.
"Let's go." Lin Su didn't stop, and Qing Tang just sighed and followed behind him.
The young master said that someone loves him and loves him, and if he is willing to spend so much money to redeem him, he should treat him well.
Qi Qingyi was staring blankly at the competition in front of him. The current situation made him feel ashamed. It's a pity that today is different from the past. He is powerless to fight. It doesn't matter what will happen to him. He just wants to reverse the case, and he wants to tell His Majesty that their family He was wronged, and his father never did those things.
Glancing over from the corner of the eye, he caught sight of a familiar figure. Qi Qingyi subconsciously wanted to cover his face, but when he saw his pace of leaving without hesitation after just a glance, his heart ached for no reason. Beside Su, the boy similar to him was following him, behaving intimately with him.
"Lin Zhiyuan!" Qi Qingyi suddenly shouted.
The bidders looked over one after another. Lin Su didn't want to cause trouble at first, but he didn't expect Qi Qingyi to call him out. He stopped, and he naturally pulled Qingtang behind him.
"Why is Brother Lin here? Could it be that he also has some intentions for Tanhua Lang?"
"If you want to talk about the power of the Qi family, because brother Lin won his son's first prize, he has been targeted a lot in the past year. If he is brother Lin's slave, then let him know how powerful he is."
"As officials in the same field, it's normal to have disagreements, and it's not targeted." Lin Su said with a smile, "If you are interested, you can make a move. Lin will leave."
"Don't go, what are you hiding behind this?" Someone deliberately walked around, and was stunned when he saw Qing Tang behind Lin Su.
The boy's stature was about half a head lower than Lin Su's, his slender frame was just blocked, and his appearance was eighty percent similar to Qi Qingyisheng's. Like the woods after the rain, it is not pure like a person staying in the capital.
"He also said that Qi Qingyi is not interested. It's not that he found someone who looks similar, but this one is cuter." The man wanted to touch Qingtang's cheek, but Lin Su blocked it with his hand.
"Brother Cunzhi, talking is talking, it's not good to do it." Lin Su looked at him and said, the intention of protecting was very obvious.
"I also got excited when I saw Lie. I didn't expect Brother Lin to hide this person like Qi Qingyi so well." The man said.
The others also looked over, and Yang Cheng's expression was even more complicated, because he just heard Qi Qingyi calling Lin Su's name.
The scene of maintenance was seen by Qi Qingyi. He used to disdain to see that young man who was similar to him, but he never thought that he would meet him when he was at his most downcast. Speaking of which, he was indeed similar to him, but he was protected too well It's a little bit more, that brows and eyes are full of ignorance and innocence, which is the complete opposite of him.
That ignorant and defended appearance made people feel disgusted when they saw it, Qi Qingyi said: "Lin Su, help me once, if there is a need in the future, I will definitely repay the favor."
"Lin Su has no property, and his salary is really not much. I don't have any money left to help Brother Wen Jue. I'm sorry." Lin Su didn't humiliate him, but the indifference in his words made Qi Qingyi feel very cold.
Lin Su protected Qing Tang to leave, but Qi Qingyi stepped forward and grabbed him by the hem of his clothes: "Do you dare to say that you didn't redeem this man for me?! You spent 300 taels to redeem him, even though I am now Difficulty, but in the future..."
"There is no future." Lin Su tore off the hem of his clothes, and kept the dazed Qing Tang behind him, "Brother Qi misunderstood, I never redeemed Qing Tang because of others, goodbye."
His complexion turned cold, and those dudes knew that he was a celebrity in front of His Majesty, so they only dared to laugh, but they didn't want to really offend them. After seeing the two of them leave, one of them directly kicked Qi Qingyi: "It turns out that our criminal minister His son, Qi Qingyi, likes Master Lin, but it's a pity that there are people in his family who don't like you anymore."
"What are you doing? The buyer is the buyer, how can you kick and beat at will?" Yang Cheng stepped up and hugged Qi Qingyi in his arms to check, "Are you okay?"
"Who am I, a son of a fellow confidant dares to come to the capital to act recklessly?" Someone shouted, "Why, I fell in love with him. I said before that the eyeballs are the same as those on his body. How about it, I don't feel embarrassed." You, as long as our Lord Yang can crawl on the ground twice and bark like a dog, we will give up Qi Qingyi to you, and let you take him back to Qinglianmiai?"
Before Yang Cheng could agree, Qi Qingyi had already pushed him away: "Who are you?"
"Wen Jue, I won't do this to you." Yang Cheng supported him and said seriously, "I will protect you, don't be afraid."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Although the laughter of the people around didn't hit him, it made Qi Qingyi more uncomfortable than hitting him.
Lin Su, Lin Su...why did that person treat a young lady better than him?Is it just because he is the son of a criminal minister?
The sound of laughing and scolding was endless, Qing Tang tightened Lin Su's sleeves and said, "Young Master, don't be angry."
"Aren't you angry when he said that I redeemed you for him?" Lin Su asked.
Qing Tang raised his head and smiled and said, "The young master said that I am who I am, and I only believe what the young master said."
"Even if it's what I say, sometimes you can't believe it all. If you believe it so stupidly, aren't you afraid that I will sell you one day?" Lin Su laughed.
Qingtang shook his head: "I believe the young master won't."
If there is such a day, he will probably feel ashamed, but before that moment, he will always choose to believe in this person in front of him.
"Let's go." Lin Su took his hand and said, "Today I still have to learn ink painting, so I can't waste time."
Qingtang felt bitter when he pulled him, ink painting Danqing, this is really the most difficult thing in the world to learn.
The matter of Qi Qingyi has been raging in the capital for a few days. It is rumored that a man spent 3000 taels to take him away. When he took him away, both of them were injured.
The rumors came and went quickly, but they dissipated within a few months, and Qingtang's orchid painting finally changed from a pile of weeds to a somewhat orchid-like appearance.
The two of them behaved intimately. It is not that no one has impeached them, but with His Majesty as an example, the Longyang matter has not been resisted as before in the court and the public. Wanting to impeach Lin Su is to offend His Majesty. Those old foxes can only sigh with emotion. The newly appointed Hubu doctor is really cunning and cunning.
But everyone can see that Lin Su is honored by His Majesty. The champions of the new disciplines enter the Imperial Academy after three years before they are selected for promotion. It is rare for Lin Su to pass the first rank and become the fifth rank in less than three years. A large number of officials had been laid off before, and there were vacancies, and Lin Su was a very capable person, so it was quite normal for him to be elected to the household department.
"If you want me to say that this fifth grade doctor is just the first step, it's just a step."
"It is rumored that this doctor has a hidden disease and cannot have any heirs. Even if he seizes power, he will serve His Majesty. It is the most useful."
"There are gains and losses, and a childless person is also a poor person."
The old fox sees far and wide, and Emperor Zhaoyang really has this plan. If they can see through, Lin Su can also see through, so he naturally seized the opportunity and worked hard to climb up.
The Ministry of Households is the pocketbook of the country, and an upright businessman in the name of the country will not only not be opposed, but will also be praised by all parties, especially Emperor Zhaoyang himself really admired Lin Su.
Sufficient treasury is what the emperors of all dynasties yearn for. If Emperor Zhaoyang wants to expand the territory, he must get rich money. In the past, if it is disaster relief or building a palace, it has to be considered before considering the cost of money, but now it is... …
"Lin Aiqing, I want to build a palace in Liyang, can the state treasury support it?" Emperor Zhaoyang asked.
Lin Su reported with a wat board: "This year's tax revenue has doubled compared with previous years, and there are 30 taels of silver for His Majesty's construction of the palace. As much as His Majesty wants to use, I can hand it over to the Ministry of Industry."
……
"This time the border victory, I want to reward the soldiers, Lin Aiqing..." Emperor Zhaoyang subconsciously looked for Lin Su as soon as he had money.
"I will hand over the memorial later, and I will not let the border guards feel cold." Lin Su said respectfully.
Even if the minister wants to join him, he can't find a chance. After all, the treasury has sufficient silver, and the silver issued by His Majesty is much richer than in previous years.
"Lord Lin is really the pillar of the country, with Lord Lin in the household department, His Majesty really can rest easy." The minister praised.
"Since Lin Aiqing has made such great contributions, I remember that there was a vacancy for the position of Zuo Shilang in the Household Department. Lin Aiqing should try it for two days." Emperor Zhaoyang said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Lin Su took the order to thank him.
The new official uniform entered the Lin family along with the emperor's will. Qing Tang took over the official uniform, and was a little happy after the person left: "Master, the left servant of the household department is a third-rank official, so promoted, do you want to celebrate?" ?”
"This matter should only be celebrated in our own courtyard, there is no need to make it too public." Lin Su laughed.
Qing Tang nodded, just puzzled: "Why?"
"It's easy to fall when you climb high. If you get the benefits, it's better not to show it around." Lin Su knew that Emperor Zhaoyang's slight high position was because he valued his ability, and the second was because he had no attachments. It all depended on the emperor's likes and dislikes. A firm foothold still depends on political achievements.
Qing Tang nodded, although Zhang Luo had eaten well in the whole yard for three days and then handed out rewards, but there was no publicity outside.
Others would only say that the new Hubu Zuo Shilang is modest and steady.
It's just that the matter of being promoted is not a secret after all, the news spread back to Qinghe Mansion, but it shocked the whole Lin family again.
"Master, that's a third-rank official. Zhiyuan is becoming more and more promising now. This year, we hope to take part in the provincial examination. Can you ask Zhiyuan to give me instructions?" The stepmother knew that Lin Su was promoted in succession, and his heart ached and he Very hungry.
Lin Wang is the youngest son of the first wife, born of his stepmother. Father Lin has always loved him, but how can a woman understand the way of officialdom: "Now that the foundation of Zhiyuan is not stable, even if it is stable, don't act recklessly. His Majesty the first grade official of the Shangshu said that he would copy the house, not to mention the Lin family, Wanger is smart, even if he doesn't pass this year, he will have to take the exam next year."
"Yes." The step-wife failed to achieve his goal and got a lot of reprimands, so he was naturally not very happy.
Seeing that her original partner's son is getting more and more powerful, she has treated him badly before, if Wang'er enters the court, wouldn't she be suppressed by him?
Father Lin could sense what she was thinking even after years of getting along with her. He frowned and said, "Now Zhiyuan is as prosperous as the entire Lin family, and he sent a letter back saying that he is in ill health and he is afraid that he will have no heirs. For the sake of inheritance, don't make a mistake and make fun of the entire Lin family."
The stepmother was stunned: "Is this really true?"
"Of course it is true." Father Lin showed her the letter, "Since he wants to be a filial son, you should also be a good aunt. Don't cause trouble for him."
The step-wife took the letter and read it from beginning to end, and there was no trace of resentment before: "Master, what you said, I am Zhiyuan's mother, how could I harm him, it must be too late to protect him .”
That kid has no descendants, no matter how old he is, it will be cheaper for her son. It's good to be a high-ranking official, and she will be in a hurry with anyone who dares to make trouble with her eldest son!
If things can be introduced to the Lin family, they can also be introduced to the Yang family. There is an attic and a small courtyard. Although there are servants serving him, Yang Cheng has been gentle and careless for many years. He never dared to touch him without his permission, but he was locked in these four quarters In the courtyard, Qi Qingyi felt like a canary in a cage.
The third-rank household servant, but I haven't seen him for two years, he has already been promoted to the third-rank, I don't know how high-spirited he is, and he will have to work hard for a year before he can get rid of his current status as an official slave.
"You're thinking about him again, aren't you?" Yang Cheng stepped into the courtyard and looked at his back.
Qi Qingyi just glanced at him, and sat quietly at the side: "You think too much, we are just colleagues."
"I haven't said who it is yet." Yang Cheng stepped forward and held his shoulder and said, "Can't you take a look at me? Although I have only been promoted to the sixth rank now, I will be able to enter the capital one day. When your father's case..."
"Can you agree to my father's case, can your father agree?" Qi Qingyi sneered and said, "Do you dare to pay the entire Yang family to reverse the case for me? You want to compare with him, what do you compare with him? ? Don’t talk about appearance, just talk about literary talents. You are not as good as him, you are not as good as him in conversation, and you are not as good as him in political achievements. Why do you have it?"
He knew that he was in a daze, as if he had gotten into a strange circle, from the beginning when he thought that Lin Su liked him so he bought the double, to the weirdness in his heart when he knew he had a hidden disease, to the later when he saw him defending that person so much pain in the heart.
He originally thought that he liked women, but now he realizes that he actually likes men, but it used to be the difference between clouds and mud, and now it is even more so.
"Qi Qingyi!" Yang Cheng trembled all over, "Do you have any heart? I refused all the marriages my father arranged for me, and being rumored to be good for Long Yang, being ridiculed by others is all because of you, do you understand? "
"Get out." Qi Qingyi said coldly.
"He is a eunuch, inhumane!" Yang Cheng took a deep breath.
"So what." Qi Qingyi looked at him indifferently.
Yang Cheng's eyes were red, Qi Qingyi looked at him warily, Yang Cheng finally walked out with his shoulders slumped.
Lin Su became the servant of the household department, but the mansion had to be changed again. He thought it was enough, but the emperor didn't want to treat the meritorious officials harshly. Pin Tongzheng left counselor, seemingly promoted, but this position is useless, really has no real power, and the courtiers are too lazy to even participate in the previous book.
Naturally, this position was not what Emperor Zhaoyang wanted to give at the beginning, otherwise it would be a slap in the face to Lin Su, but Lin Su asked for it.
"Although father's important matters are still clear, but small matters are easy to be confused. If he really gets the real position, he may cause trouble. The capital is deep, so it's better to let father live in his life." Lin Su said frankly.
Emperor Zhaoyang was really surprised when he heard the words: "Didn't you always call yourself a filial son? How can you talk about your father like that?"
"In the hearts of ministers, the king is paramount. Although filial piety is important, you must not miss the state affairs, otherwise you will be disloyal to the king." Lin Su's words are really hypocritical, but the emperor loves to hear them.
The new emperor ascended the throne at a young age, so naturally it was not all smooth sailing. The previous emperor had partiality. It would be deceiving to say how filial the new emperor was to his father, but it was just for the world to see. Although Lin Su wanted to show off, he didn't have to Pretend too much.
"Aiqing is indeed on the same side as me." Emperor Zhaoyang said meaningfully.
Lin Su naturally thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."
Lin Su had a yard, and his parents were going to Beijing, so he would not say that he would let his parents live in another house, but he was not afraid, but Qing Tang was really worried.
"Master, what if I can't take care of you well?" Qing Tang has grown a little in the past two years.
