[Red Mansion] I want to be the chief assistant

In a few days, it will be Xiaonian.

This is probably the busiest time for the entire Lin family. They have to clean the inside and outside. Lin Yu, who was disliked and obstructed after offering sacrifices to the stove, was kicked out of the study by Bai Shu, and ended up meeting someone in the garden who was also kicked out. Jia Yucun came out.

The two scholars, one big and one small, stared at each other for a while, and then laughed out loud at the same time.

"Today, Zuixianlou has a new product. Would you like to taste it with the students, sir?" Anyway, since he couldn't read a book, Lin Yu thought about the new cream cake coming out in his restaurant just in time for the New Year's Eve, so he thought about going there try it.

Jia Yucun didn't think it was offensive for Lin Yu to speak like an adult, so he smiled and said, "I want to do what I want, I dare not ask for it."

It was a rare good day, the weather was clear, and every family had finished their sacrifices and sent the Stove King away. This year's major events were finally at an end.The children giggled and held up the candied melon and stuck it to their faces without caring. They twitched their little tongues against their lips, tsk, it was so sweet.

Jia Yucun listened to the bursts of laughter coming from the window partitioned by fine cotton, and the faint smell of cakes coming from the street, and then looked at the elementary school students sitting across from Xiaoji, with their eyes downcast, making a cup of tea quietly. Why do you want to sigh.

The crow hair in plain clothes, the jade face and star eyes, are very beautiful, even if the outside world is crowded with mortals, it is not as good as the fragrance of tea in the room at this time.This extraordinary family has an extraordinary character, and I really can't envy it. Jia Yucun ended up with a cup of tea handed over by Lin Yu with both hands, smelling the fragrance of the tea, thinking of his grand ambition of being the first poet and book heir in the imperial examination, and tumbling for a while My heart became a little quieter.

If you are rich, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be good for yourself.If one day you fail in repeated trials and keep one side clean like this elementary school student, wouldn't you be comfortable?

The porcelain cup knocked against the wooden table and made a soft and crisp sound, "The Zuixian Tower is here, sir." Lin Yu said.

He didn't know that Mr. Enlightenment, who was left behind by him with a curious attitude, flashed through his mind in an instant, which was completely different from the Flying Camp Gougou in the Book of the Red Chamber, and he probably didn't care if he knew it.

The so-called purity in Jia Yucun's eyes was not calculated by him?Even Lin Yu, who is still stuck in modern thinking, knows that in this era, it is impossible to be an otaku without some powerful support.

Keep one side clean?Let's take the imperial examination honestly first!

The Zuixian Building is busy at this time, although it is not for meals, but because of a new type of pastry called chicken cakes that has been sold in the building some time ago, a group of women, big and small, have gathered to buy it and go home.It's the end of this year, and I have a little more personality. I have been thinking about giving my wife and kid a sweet mouth for a year.Even if the Drunken Immortal Building has been steamed more than usual, the supply is still in short supply.

When there are too many people, chaos will naturally arise.

It is also common practice for the shopkeeper to apologize to the big guy who didn't buy it at the front. Since Zuixianlou started selling such pastries, there are often too many monks and too little porridge.

However, today is different.

Zuixian Tower was originally Mother Lin's dowry, and was later carried back by Zhang's family in name, but Lin Yu has been in charge of it all these years.Therefore, as soon as Lin Yu came, he was respectfully invited into the private room on the second floor.He had no intention of concealing this specialness from Jia Yucun. Zuixianlou is the largest restaurant in Gusu. After a little inquiring, he knew the relationship between this place and Zhang Lin's family. Deliberately concealing it would arouse suspicion and make jokes.

Respectfully asked my husband to order first, Lin Yu only said that he was still the same and added new pastries.It was not time to eat, and Jia Yucun only made a slight noise in adhering to the rules of being a gentleman and being frugal.

Seeing Xiaoer in the gray short coat bowing his hands respectfully and retreating, Jia Yucun nodded in satisfaction and said, "The rules here are good."

Lin Yu chuckled, Xin Dao spent a lot of effort on training|teaching him, it's not good, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of his effort.Just as he was about to answer, he heard a raised voice from downstairs, obviously a commotion.

He stopped talking, reached out and pushed open the window sash of the private room, leaving a slight gap, quietly observing what happened downstairs.

"Master, my bird just loves this mouth, what's the matter? I don't even look at who I am, and I don't even have this kind of vision when I open the door for business?" Harsh and unpleasant.Lin Yu took a look, and his excellent memory dug out the face of this person from the corner of his mind. Isn't that the grandson of his good second uncle's family, known as Brother Qi.He thought, his eyes rolled, it was interesting.

The shopkeeper's refusal without humility is obviously useless. Some people probably don't understand what refusal is by nature, or he hasn't achieved the goal of this scene.

A group of idlers gradually gathered outside to watch the fun, but those who were dissatisfied because they couldn't buy cakes at first saw this posture, and turned around and slipped away cleverly.Lin Yu couldn't help sighing, the survival wisdom of ordinary people these days should not be underestimated.

Brother Qi didn't care, relying on five or six servants around him, he pointed at people's noses and said arrogantly: "You can't help it, there will always be someone who is in charge." He rolled his eyes, displeased He said kindly, "It just so happened that my family saw my good brother coming here. I told him personally, how much cake can I ask for? Even if I want the recipe for that cake, I'm afraid I have to hold it in my hand and give it to my family!"

When the idle man next to him heard this, he booed even more vigorously.Listening to the boisterous echoes from the side, Brother Qi raised his head and became even more elated.

Lin Yu upstairs couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but he didn't plan to face this kind of person for the time being, so he apologized to Jia Yucun: "I disturbed my interest, sir, should I go back with me, or change to another elegant person?" between?"

Jia Yucun shook his head and said, "I'm done with my interest, I'd better go back and read two pages of the book." That kind of behavior of a rich man is really disgusting.

Lin Yu nodded, and lightly dialed the rocking rope by the window, Xiao Er, who had been guarding outside, walked in, led the two of them to go through the small door on the other side of the private room, and left the restaurant quietly.

Jia Yucun was sitting in the carriage, turning his head slightly to look back.Brother Qi was still messing around at the gate, but the shopkeeper was smiling, but kept people out without leaking.He pondered for a moment and asked, "Is that the kid from your second uncle's family?" Jia Yucun heard from his friend Mr. Li about the property fight in the Lin family three years ago. After much deliberation, he felt that there was only that Only a boy from the family can be so arrogant and rude.

"Exactly, he belongs to my second uncle's youngest son's family. What do you think of this man?" Lin Yu put down the teacup in his hand and asked with great interest.

Jia Yucun shook his head. His parents died early, and he had also experienced such oppression in the clan. How could he have a good impression of that kind of person, and said bluntly: "A fool."

Lin Yu smiled wide-eyed and narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "That's right, the family has a long history!"

Jia Yucun was taken aback by the quiet meanness of his young student. He thought about it with a teacup in his hand, but he was not surprised. He is soft-hearted and easy to deceive.For a moment, I felt that I was getting closer to this student, and said earnestly: "You can't let people hear these words. If that family insults you and speaks immorally, it will definitely be a trouble."

Lin Yu tilted his head to see that he had chosen the first teacher out of interest, and said obediently, "Thank you for your guidance." Then he asked, "Is it affecting the imperial examination?"

Jia Yucun nodded and shook his head again, and said with a smile: "Why is it so easy to affect the exam? It's just that the world is so mediocre, and fools slander, it's really unwise to hurt yourself because of this." After speaking, the interest came, and he carefully studied the exam. Talked to him about the imperial examination system in this dynasty.

The imperial examinations in this dynasty were divided into rural examinations, general examinations, and palace examinations, but under the rural examinations there was also a child examination.The children's test is divided into three times, the county test, the government test, and the hospital test.Those who have passed the county and government examinations are Tongsheng, and those who have passed the hospital examination are serious scholars.

For example, Lin Yu, he only needs one clerk and four neighbors as guarantors to take the county examination in his own county, which is presided over by the local county magistrate.That's why Jia Yucun reminded himself that this student should pay attention not to be troubled by that family, after all, the Lin family can be regarded as a prominent local family.It wouldn't do any good if that family had to risk their face and go to the county magistrate to do something like this.

Even if the Zhang family and Lin Yu backed him up, it was inevitable that the impression of his old parents had already been damaged.It was originally the case, but without the case, it was originally a hit, but it became a hit, but it’s not all in the hands of the old parents.

Lin Yu understood what this gentleman was thinking as soon as he rolled his eyes, and he couldn't help but thank Jia Yucun for his suggestion.

However, he didn't tell him this cheap teacher, that is, he was never prepared to take the imperial examination before solving this family, no, the entire Lin family.

And this year is just the last good year he left for that family.

Back in the outer study, Lin Yu summoned the old butler Lin and ordered: "Let steam a few baskets of chicken cakes in the big kitchen and send them to the second uncle's house. Just say what I say, and feed the birds to Cousin Qi." .”

The old butler Lin had already heard what happened in Zuixianlou from Zi Chou who was following the car, and he didn't question whether it exposed the fact that he had chicken cake recipes, so he hurriedly agreed, and heard Lin Yu ask: "How's the restaurant business over there?"

He was asking about the two restaurants that belonged to the original Lin family and are now controlled by his second uncle.

"Every day is worse than every day." Old butler Lin never forgot Lin Yu's instructions, even if he didn't ask on weekdays, he always kept people's attention on the activities of the two restaurants.Now that Lin Yu asked about it, he replied confidently, "In the past, the dishes of those two companies were mediocre and the pastries were the best, but now there are high-quality and cheap chicken cakes running, and the business has slowed down a lot."

Lin Yu nodded. He has never been interested in recipes, but it just happened to be the right time, and it would be good to use them to attack people. Isn't he hooked now?

"Tell the shopkeepers and accountants of the two restaurants that they can get a little more this year. As for how much they can get, it depends on their own abilities."

His good second uncle probably never imagined that the property that he thought he was holding in his hands had already become riddled with holes under Lin Yu's instruction.Even if they replaced all the shopkeepers with their own confidantes, sometimes it is difficult to guard against a family thief.

Intimidation plus temptation, Lin Yu is very skilled in this method.
