Abandoning the boat and landing, Jia Lian was already waiting with Lin Zhixiao and a group of women on the pier.
Because there were female relatives, the tents on both sides were pulled up to protect Jia Min and Daiyu in an airtight manner. After Lin Yu said goodbye to the students of Xishan Academy, he and Jia Lian watched the servants carry the luggage from the boat. .
Some luggage will not be needed for a while, and must be sent back to the Lin residence first.Some of them were sent to Rongguo Mansion along with the soil rites sent to Jia Mansion.
It was supposed to go back to the Lin Mansion to resettle, but now there are still some flowers and trees in the mansion that have not been resettled, and the coming and going of people is not cheap.He first asked the housekeeper to bring the big luggage back to put it away, and then Jia Min led the three younger ones to visit her natal home.
Jia's mother had already counted the days ahead and only hoped that her married daughter would return to Beijing. When the former son found out that the official ship arrived at the pier today, he hurriedly called Jia Lian to wait for it, fearing that it would be the wrong time.
"It's better not to miss the time today, or the second brother Lian will wait in vain." After Lin Yu sent Jia Min and others to the carriage, he turned around and came over.
Seeing that Lin Yu hadn't gotten into the carriage, Jia Lian looked at the idiotic servants beside him, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to persuade him to ride in the carriage with his aunt, but saw that he was smiling and had no such intention, so he hurriedly moved him to the carriage. He gave up his horse to him, and ordered his nanny to carry him onto the horse.
Lin Yu took a look, and hurriedly waved him away.As soon as I pressed the saddle, I got up lightly.Seeing this, the nurse hurriedly withdrew, and brought Jia Lian a new horse.Jia Lian didn't put on any pretense either. With the help of his servants, he stepped on the horse's slab and got on his horse. He smiled and said to Lin Yu, "Brother Yu must have improved again." His is a real tall horse, taller than Brother Yu. .
Lin Yu said, "It's Lian's second brother who moves less."
Jia Lian was blinded, and said, "I don't have to take the imperial examination or anything. I can be free for a day, and I'll be fine for a day." Congratulations to Lin Yu for getting to know Yuan, and said, "I happened to accept a good ink earlier, especially It is specially reserved for you, and I will send it back to you, and it will not be in vain for its life in this world."
Lin Yu smiled and thanked.
A half-day trip from the wharf to Rongguo Mansion is a must. Although spring has begun, it is still cold in the end. Jia Lian looked enviously at Lin Yu wearing a big cloak and holding the rein in the cold wind, still looking as usual, said: " Brother Yu is really not afraid of the cold." He was done, and the brocade clothes were piled up, surrounded by fur collars, his hands were covered to keep warm, and the horse was completely left to the servants.
Lin Yu kept his eyes on the front and said, "But Second Brother Lian himself said he didn't want to move, so don't complain about it now!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to straighten his flying temple hair, and asked, "I don't know what's wrong with this?" Is there any place in the capital where you can run horses?" It's rare to ride a horse, and it's really not fun to just walk like this.
Jia Lian glanced at the passers-by and hawkers, and couldn't help laughing: "Second brother will take you later." Then he said, "I thought Brother Yu was used to it."
Lin Yu sighed, thinking about how he used to go out, when he was a child, he was tightly wrapped and didn't go out much. Later, when he grew up, he always rode in a carriage. For a short distance, he was surrounded by tall and burly guards. Strictly speaking, today is really the first time.
Walking to the bustling place, it is true that Bi people pass by the door, and many pedestrians stop to watch.
In an instant, the news that Xie Yuanlinlang of Jinling Jinke had entered the capital reached the ears of all the candidates, and it even flew to the boudoirs of countless daughters.
After walking for another moment, Fang approached Rongguo Mansion.The side door of the mansion had already been opened, and the woman who was in a hurry was waiting. Seeing them coming, someone rushed in to report the news.Inside, Jia Mu was waiting anxiously with her arms around Jia Baoyu, when she suddenly heard this sound, she stood up hurriedly and was about to go out to meet her, but was persuaded by everyone's good words.
Baoyu hurriedly laughed and said: "Don't worry, old ancestor, tell your grandson to look ahead. Today, your grandson will be your errand servant to watch where your aunt goes. You just sit quietly and don't miss a moment. "
Mother Jia hugged him hurriedly with a smile, and said: "It's hard for you, but your aunt should have come in at this moment, you are a little family, it's not good if you go astray." After all, I didn't say anything about going out .
After entering Jia's mansion, Lin Yu followed Jia Lian to Jia Amnesty's East Courtyard first. Jia Lian knew that his father was out of touch, and was afraid that he would lose face by being rude to Lin Yu, so he first accused him.
No, Jia Amnesty saw that Jia Lian had brought in a handsome young man, so he said he was the elder brother of the Lin family.Before leaving, he gave the prepared gift without saying anything, and casually took a red bloodstone from the case, saying that he was asking him to play with it.
Lin Yu wanted to decline, but when he saw him waving his hands indifferently and Jia Lian secretly winking at him, Fang smiled and put it away.
After leaving the door, Lin Yu handed the bright red stone that was about to drip out to Su Mu as a gift, and asked, "Why are you winking like that all of a sudden?"
Jia Lian's eyes were complicated and said: "Don't do it for nothing, it's the first time I've seen my father give away the things he collected!"
Lin Yu squinted at him, and said with a smile, "You just have to give birth to a big fat son early, take him to play with him every day, and roll back as many things as you keep, believe it or not?"
Jia Lian blushed and said, "You're serious, but you're making fun of me. I don't believe you haven't had that day."
After speaking, the two went to Jia Zheng's study outside.
Lin Yu walked all the way, watching the remoteness of Jia She's side gradually becoming more magnificent, he thought to himself that this Jia's mansion actually had a fifth-grade worker, Wailang, at the helm, but he still failed to accomplish anything, it's really weird.On the one hand, he met Jia Zheng again.
Jia Zheng stroked his beard, looked at Lin Yu with great satisfaction, checked a few words from the Four Books and Five Classics, and praised the young Xie Yuanlang with the guests outside the door.Seeing that Jia Lian was the only one beside Lin Yu, he raised his eyebrows and asked where Baoyu was.I was not happy when I heard that I accompanied Jia Mu to welcome guests inside. I should say hello to Xie Yuanlang in a serious way!It's just that he is also serious about kissing his sister inside, so it's hard to say.
Just as he was frowning, he heard someone report that Mr. Lin was invited.
It turned out that Jia's mother often heard her daughter talk about how outstanding her nephew was, and when she saw that she was the only one bringing Daiyu and carp slaves, she asked.
Jia Min laughed and said, "Ask Lian'er to take the two elder brothers to pay homage to them. They are outsiders and dare not enter without permission."
Jia Mu said disapprovingly: "What kind of foreign boy, how old is he? They are all relatives of the family. It doesn't matter." The oldest Yingchun here is only eight years old, Baoyu is seven years old, and Tanchun is not even seven years old. , it's no wonder that Mother Jia doesn't care.Today's rules are looser than those of the previous dynasty, and it doesn't matter if the two adults are present.
Two days ago, Xue Baochai, who had just come to Beijing with his mother and brother, was staying at Jia's house. Hearing Jia's mother's call, the relatives of the whole family quietly lowered their heads, trying to avoid it, but everyone present didn't move, so they had to quietly twist their hands in their sleeves. handkerchief.
Jia Min thought about it for a while, so she couldn't help laughing.So, there was the sound that Lin Yu heard outside.
It was the first time that Jia Zheng saw a young man who was eager to learn, so he had to leave a few more words, and when he saw the inside, he urged him away, and he reluctantly let him go.
Jia Lian agreed repeatedly, and Fang sent Lin Yu to the courtyard outside Jia Mu. When the maids saw Lian's second master coming with a jade crown boy, they hurried forward and surrounded him as if they had won a treasure. One of the big girls laughed. Said: "It can be regarded as welcoming a distinguished guest."
Jia Lian originally thought it would be good to just send it outside the courtyard gate, but he knew there was a relative of the Xue family inside, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Hu Po, don't scare her!"
The big maid, Amber, smiled and said, "I know."
Jia Lian stood where he was, watched Lin Yu being led in, and then turned away.
Lin Yu followed the girl, stepped through two doors, and then walked into a warm and fragrant main hall. Seeing him coming, Jia Min hurriedly waved and led him to meet Jia Mu.
When Jia Mu saw Lin Yu, she laughed. Before he could bend down to bow down, she pulled her into her arms and said, "This child is good. I wonder why he grows up, looks so good, and has such a good appearance." Such a good talent." He smiled and pushed Baoyu next to him and said, "It can't be compared!"
Since Lin Yu came in, Baoyu had been in a daze for a long time, and thought to himself that he only thought that people like Qin Zhong were already top-notch.I didn't expect to see someone far above him today. I really have no words to describe the charm of the person in front of me.
Asked Jia Mu to wake him up, and came up to greet the ceremony in a busy and joyous manner. My heart was already overjoyed, and I didn't know what to say in a nonsensical manner. Xi!
When Jia's mother saw it, she knew that his grandson had fallen into an old problem again, so she smiled and said, "He is crazy again, just ignore him for a while." Serve Lin Yu to take off the cloak around him.
Seeing that he was only wearing a straight gown with gauze under his cloak, he annoyed Jia Min and said, "I don't want to make more thick clothes for the children!" He asked Wang Xifeng to tell the embroiderer in the house to do it.
Jia Min hurriedly stopped him and said: "Mother, don't worry, this child is weird, he has never been afraid of cold and heat, and counting nine winters is just a matter of quilting. You don't know how much I have done, but I just don't wear it." Yinu said with the big cloak put away, "I don't listen to what I say, so I had to order someone to make the clothes more beautiful, and the people around him couldn't love them, so I forced them to wear them immediately. "
Mother Jia couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and beckoned the man with the cloak to come back, and Yuanyang hurriedly handed over a pair of glasses.Jia Mu took it, looked at the material carefully, and said with a smile, "it's strange. I saw him coming from a distance, surrounded by smoke and mist, and I thought it was a fairy coming to Penglai. It turns out that you did something wrong. It's hard to do." You can figure it out."
Wang Xifeng on the side stepped forward and said with a smile: "I'll take a look at the old ancestor, but it's organdy, I remember there are still several in the warehouse, and I'm thinking of taking it out to make some cotton quilts."
Jiamu then spat at her, "What kind of organdy gauze is nonsense. The official name of this gauze is Soft Smoke. It got this name because it looks like smoke from a distance. It's rare to see it now."
Jia Min said with a smile: "At the beginning, I was sorting out the warehouse in Yangzhou, but I found this one unexpectedly. I thought that the yarns now don't have such a thick and light texture, so I thought about making him a big cloak. Isn't it true? You are really a god. Although you said that the clothes are not good-looking, but after trying it, it really looks good."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "It's still a clever idea of my aunt, if we can't think of it anymore, we just want to use it as a quilt cover!"
Jia Mu shamed her and said, "How dare you take it out and talk about it." Then she said, "Bring the rainy sky blue and pine green that are guarded in the warehouse, and make a cloak for Brother Yu, and there are silver red ones." , make two more for Baoyu, and compare with this."
Wang Xifeng looked at it, then smiled and said: "I can't find such a soft and bright silk, I'm afraid it won't look as good as this one."
Jia Min hurriedly said: "Just leave it to me, I have more over there."
Jia's mother led Lin Yu to see the three sisters of Jia Ying and Tanxi, and pointed to another woman with plump skin sitting beside her and said, "This is the cousin of the second wife's family. You just need to call Sister Xue." .”
Xue Baochai hurriedly lowered her head and gave a slight salute, but did not look up. She only took a sneak peek after Jiamu led Lin Yu back. This is Xie Yuanlang of Jinling Jinke. Sure enough, Baoyu was compared to Baoyu regardless of his appearance and talent. go down.
However, this should be true. Baoyu is only a child, but he is already a teenager.
But when Jia Mu saw that Lin Yu had put on her crown, she ordered Yuanyang, "Bring me the small white jade crown and the ebony crown I kept, as well as a white fox fur cloak and a black cloud leopard cloak." I went, and I took it.
Everyone looked at her hand, the white jade crown was pure white and flawless, and the natural bright red on the top alone was trembling and heart-wrenching.The ebony crown is extremely dignified, with a hint of fragrance.The white fox fur cloak is even more rare, soft white and shiny, without a trace of variegation.The other cloak of the Wuyun Leopard is even more resplendent in emerald gold and green in color.
Jia Mu gave the first three to Lin Yu, and the last one to Baoyu, saying, "This one is called bird gold, and it was woven by twisting threads from peacock feathers in Russia. I'll give you the other ones, brother, Nothing else."
Baoyu said happily, "Only the elder brother of the Lin family deserves to wear this."
Jia's mother laughed and said, "Don't blame me for loving him. The children of any family will be jealous. My grandson has a good heart, so I don't take these things to heart."
Everyone laughed and said yes.
When it was passed on for dinner, Lin Yu was invited outside, and Jia's mother asked Baoyu Haosheng to take him out together.
It was rare that Baoyu didn't hesitate to stay with the ladies to eat together this time, but bowed his hands and bid farewell to the family members, and led Lin Yu out.Regardless of other people, only one person is satisfied.
This person is Mrs. Wang.
She only knew that Lin Yu was Xie Yuan at such a young age, and it was rare for Baoyu to be willing to get close to him, and she only hoped that he could take her son who didn't like economic career with him a little bit.It is the same reason that those parents in later generations would like their children to play with good academic masters.
What's the problem if this person's surname is not Lin!
Lin Yu and Baoyu went out. Seeing Baoyu stealing glances at him from time to time, he said with a smile, "Brother Bao, what are you looking at?"
Baoyu said foolishly: "I often say that daughters are made of water, and men are made of mud. Today I know I was wrong."
Lin Yu thought it was funny when he heard a child say this, and teased him, "What's wrong?"
Then Jia Baoyu sighed, and said: "There are three kinds of people in this world, those who are made of water, those who are made of mud, and the other one is rare, beautiful, and they are really made of jade. It can be seen that they are jade people. "As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yu and remained silent.
Lin Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.Such a child in his eyes talked about color seriously, no wonder he couldn't help it.
Baoyu didn't blame him for laughing out loud, but said blankly: "It looks better when you smile, you should smile more."
Lin Yu shook his head and pretended to say, "How can I laugh more? If there are a few more stupid geese in the world, wouldn't it be my sin?"
When Baoyu heard this, he was busy distinguishing, and saw Jia Lian coming up to him inside, and said, "What stupid goose?" Seeing the rainstorm, he took Lin Yu and said, "Brother Yu, don't make fun of him, it's enough I'm stuck." Pulling Baoyu again.
"But Brother Bao is here." A tall and strong young man with a round head and a big face came out from the side. He was talking, but he caught sight of Lin Yu and then stopped his feet. Walking towards Lin Yu.
Seeing this, Jia Lian screamed badly, and hurriedly stopped him: "Why is Wenlong here, but just tell me if you have any troubles." Then he gave Baoyu a wink.
On the contrary, Baoyu woke up and knew that his aunt and cousin were not taboo about meat and vegetables. Lest he offend the gods in his mind, he took advantage of Jia Lian to drag Xue Pan, and hurriedly led Lin Yu in first.
Seeing the beauty go, Xue Pan stretched his neck, and asked Jia Lian in a hurry.
Jia Lian still didn't know what he was going to ask, so he quickly blocked his mouth and pulled it aside, saying: "He is a serious scholar, don't provoke him, he has good fruit to eat."
Xue Pan winked and smiled and said: "What scholars, there are too many scholars, tell me, who is this?" She is really stunning, I have never seen a more beautiful beauty, Xiangling compared with her , It's like poor water compared to fine wine, it's bland and far worse.
Jia Lian looked around and saw that there was no one around Lin Yu, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously, "It's the serious cousin of the Lin family's uncle, and he is related on the same level; he just got to know Yuan last year, and a month later. It is Chun Wei, who will have a promising future at that time, and is a different person from us."
After hearing this, Xue Pan said, "It's a pity." He looked in for a few times, and forgot what he had come to see Jia Lian, so he shook his head and walked away.I was worried and panicked, but I couldn't get close, and I deeply regretted it.
Seeing that he didn't make trouble for no reason, Jia Lian heaved a big sigh when he just left.He knew it, so he and Baoyu were the only ones at the banquet today, and he didn't dare to call Xue Pan.Unexpectedly, it happened by accident, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on Jia Lian's back.
Busily went inside to have a meal, knowing that Lin Yu didn't drink and didn't call out, the three of them used some of the Jiangnan dishes arranged by Jia Liante and then dispersed.
So far, Lin Yu and Jia Min have lived together in Jia's mansion.But he was in the outer courtyard, a small and exquisite guest house specially arranged by Jia Lian, which was decorated so magnificently that it could not be called magnificent, and it was also hung with Mi Fu's calligraphy on the wall, and a long Persian blanket on the floor, jade tube pens, Chengni inkstone, Chengxin paper, and Tingyu ink are newly listed, which can be seen as Jia Lian's handwriting.
Lin Yu originally wanted to live outside, but later saw that no one came to bother her, perhaps because there was only less than a month left in Chunwei, and it was very clean.There are still the people he used to in the yard, and Nanny Liu's methods of treating people are first-class.Therefore, no matter how bad-mouthed the mother-in-law is, she is safe and sound in Lin Yu's yard.Anyway, the young master of the Lin family is easy to work with, and he is generous. Not to mention the original monthly payment, there is another monthly payment.After those women saw that rigid Nanny Liu mercilessly returned the two gambling money to Lian Erye, no one dared to try again.
Lin Yu didn't know anyone in the capital, except Liu Xianglian, whose whereabouts were hard to find.However, there was one family that he had to visit in person.
It is the son of Xin Hanlin, his new cheap master, who is currently the Xin Ji Restaurant of the Guozijian Jijiu.The Guozijian Jijiu doesn't care about the scientific examination, but because of the examinee Xin Zongping in the family, Xin Jijiu has been avoided since last year.It was the norm, not surprising.
Lin Yu went to the invitation post first, and then came to the door after waiting for a response from there.
However, Lin Yu didn't see Xin Jijiu's face, and Jijiu himself said that he had avoided something.
"Your father is too cautious." Lin Yu was not very polite in front of Xin Zongping. Judging from Xin Hanlin's seniority, he and Xin Zongping's father are considered to be of the same generation, so there is no need to be very respectful Dear, "There is such a big candidate at home, do you still need to avoid me?"
Xin Zongping said disapprovingly: "It's just such a temperament, so grandpa is not used to living at home, and he doesn't want to come back."
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know how a person with such a true temperament can teach such a person who is not enough to follow the rules and follow the rules. I have to draw a few more frames." After looking at Xin Zongping for a while, he said, "It's fine if I don't see you. It looks like you're doing well, so I'm relieved."
"Before Chunwei, no matter how much anger he had, he had to hold back, and he wouldn't explode immediately." Xin Zongping smiled, and sent Lin Yu out without saying that he would meet his stepmother. It was really nothing to see. of.
A month passed easily, and in the blink of an eye it was the time of Chun Wei.
This time everyone has experience, Liu Nanny and Bai Shubian are getting ready in an orderly manner.Food and clothing, and a small packet of spices, Lin Yu made a bitter face when he saw it.
Mother Liu smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? This time the spring is cold and the smell must be much better than that of Qiu Wei." Then she said, "It wasn't smoky last time, and Chun Wei certainly won't, but it's the ones that are frozen every year. There are many." However, there is no need to worry about my uncle.
A woman from outside came to report that it was a girl named Yuanyang who had come. Bai Shu hurriedly greeted her and came back with a bundle in her hand.
"The old lady in this mansion specially ordered some thick single clothes." As he said, he opened up the blue dolo fur wrapper, and inside were two thick cotton clothes, which were not very obvious at first sight.
"Where are you going back?" Lin Yu asked casually.
"I just said that the old lady couldn't leave her, so I went back." Bai Shu laughed, "If it's the old lady's words, don't ask the uncle to bother to thank you. If you have something to say, you can talk about it after the exam." Sitting down and drinking a cup of tea is obviously a taboo, but Bai Shu is satisfied.She had already dismissed several groups of little girls who were poking around in private, and she admired Yuanyang for being so well-behaved.
"This is what hurts people!" Nanny Liu nodded, then picked up a piece of clothing, touched the material carefully and said, "This one is not worse than what we prepared, it doesn't look too obvious, the material is Rare." Thick and soft, not to mention airtight, but also warm.
As he spoke, he took out the two pieces of clothing, spread them out, and touched them carefully.
Seeing this, Lin Yu moved the hand playing with the chess pieces, and said in surprise, "Use this? Doesn't it mean that ours is so-so?"
As she touched it, Madam Liu wished she could break it open and crush it to see what's wrong inside.Hearing Lin Yu's question, he smiled and said, "There's a reason for it." This fabric was originally made with painstaking weaving every year for official and eunuch candidates in the capital.I'm afraid that what Jia's mother brought out today is more from her early years. There are not many candidates in Jia's mansion today.
The search in Chunwei is stricter than that in Qiuwei. The officials who search the body are very careful, looking at clothes.Wearing this to take the exam, they will know that the candidate is a person of birth, and they will be less offended.
This is how the people who pass the scientific examination rely on their clothes.
Lin Yu saw Liu Mama say this, and said with a smile: "I just said earlier that someone actually put their business into the examination room. How could I know that there is so much knowledge in a small piece of clothing today? It's really long." Got it."
"Don't be sarcastic either." Nanny Liu said with a smile as she twirled the seams of the fabric while touching, "This thing has been the same since ancient times, how can the word fair be so easy!"
Lin Yu listened and let her go.
It was another nine days. When Lin Yu left the examination room, Jia Lian was waiting with his long entourage and a carriage.
Seeing that Lin Yu's face was not very good-looking, Jia Lian could smell a refreshing fragrance from him after a few steps, and asked, "Which one is smelly all over the body, you are fine, how much did you order?" fragrant?"
"It's much less than in Qiuwei." But it's not much better, Lin Yu waved his hands as if he didn't want to say more.Jia Lian didn't dare to ask more questions, hurriedly greeted him and went back to Jia's mansion, where he was sent back to the courtyard.
This time there was no hot spring, but Madam Liu had already prepared firewood, and there was a small kitchen in the yard, where she boiled water while sending it in, until Lin Yu felt that the smell from her nose had dissipated a lot.
Lin Yu only felt that he was a little white and wrinkled from the soak, leaning on the couch half-closed to rest his mind, the room had been quiet for several days without burning incense.
"Is the Lin Mansion ready?" After a while, Lin Yu summoned Bai Shu and asked.These days, he just stretched his hands and feet in this small yard, which is really suffocating.
"I've got everything ready up front." Bai Shu hurriedly replied, "The lady over there said she was afraid of disturbing you, so she didn't tell you that she would move after you finish the exam." It will take some time.
"Go ask Su Mu to ask Lian's second brother when he is free to go to the racetrack."
Bai Shu hurriedly responded and went.
At this end, Jia Lian was lazily leaning on the kang, chatting teeth with Wang Xifeng, when he heard Lin Yu send Su Mu to ask, he said with a smile: "I'm an idler now, I can leave at any time."
Then Wang Xifeng was surprised and said: "Isn't this just after the exam, why do you still have such spirit?" Although she has never experienced the days when there were candidates at home, she has also heard that Jia Zhu spent more than half a month after the exam. I will keep it, but I can't slow down for a while.
Jia Lian said with a smile, "I said that brother Yu is different from ordinary scholars. You just don't believe me." Then he got up and got dressed.
Wang Xifeng hurriedly got up to help him dress, and then said with a smile: "Why don't you believe it, but I just said that you said that his appearance and character are not ordinary, and I have seen it with my own eyes, how can I guess that there will be something like today?"
Jia Lian just laughed, seeing no one was around, secretly took a sip on her face, and said, "My lord is gone, don't wait for me to have dinner."
Wang Xifeng was taken aback, and shouted shyly, "You're going to die!" Seeing that Jia Lian had disappeared, Fang took the handkerchief and gently rubbed his cheek, snorted and called Xing'er Wanger to come over and hold his ear and call Haosheng to serve him. with.
My son travels with ease, and it's not a matter of one sentence to prepare.
When everything was ready and it was already after lunch, Jia Lian sent someone to call Lin Yu.This time Lin Yu didn't bring Su Mu with him, the capital was originally his land, so if someone sees him, even if he doesn't recognize him, it's not good if he just thinks he looks familiar.
As for the racetrack, where dudes appear the longest, almost [-]% of them have his acquaintances.
But in this case, a Jing Mo stayed with Lin Ruhai in Yangzhou, and a Su Mu was in the capital and it was not easy to take it out, so Lin Yu's side was empty.It's not that there are no guards or anything like that, it's just that it doesn't look good for our young master to not have a little servant and book boy to serve him personally.Although Lin Yu didn't find it troublesome, if it provoked people who didn't have a good eye to come forward to find trouble, it wouldn't be Lin Yu's original intention to go out to relax.
The position next to Lin Yu is important, even Madam Liu is a little worried, she can manage people, but she can't discipline the boys outside.
It was Jia Min who knew that when he heard that Lin Yu was going out, he hurriedly sent Qing Lan's younger brother who was going out with him this time.I heard that although he is a little younger, he was originally a servant in the second door, so he is quite clever.He and Qinglan's grandmother used to be the nuns around Jia Min, and she taught the two grandchildren how to look up and down. This time, Jia Min sent her to Lin Yu's side.
Everyone in Qinglan's family was not unhappy. After all, Lin Ruhai's legitimate son was only three years old and hadn't been enlightened yet. When a book boy was needed, he would be too old to be used.
Lin Yu thought to himself, it doesn't matter if you only order around outside. Seeing the young man kneeling down, he didn't stop him, and asked, "It's famous, what's it called?"
The boy shook his head and said, "Please also give me a name from the uncle."
Seeing that he was fair-skinned and beautiful, Lin Yu thought about it for a while and said, "Let's call him Yunling, get up quickly, and go out with me first."
Yunling kowtowed to the end, and then followed with a low eyebrow.Not to mention the birth of this family, the waiters are really familiar. This new servant is not familiar with Lin Yu's temperament yet, so Lin Yu feels very comfortable in using it.
But yes, if it wasn't good, Jia Min couldn't send it to him.
Jia Lian himself is not very familiar with these places, but some of his acquaintances know them, and he has been there once or twice.He took Lin Yu out of the city along the wind and said, "It's late today, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in time. There is Zhuangzi from the Feng family beside the racecourse. I have already sent someone to greet him. I will stay overnight with him tonight." One night, Brother Yu, what do you think?"
"It's up to Lian's second brother to arrange." Lin Yu lifted the curtain of the carriage, and riding a horse in the city would not be enjoyable anyway, and he would wait until he got out of the city.
It didn't take long to get out of the city, unlike going to the pier.Maybe it was because Lin Yu was too engrossed in reading in the carriage. When Jia Lian knocked on the wall of the carriage, he realized that he had already left the city.
Slightly opening the door curtain, the fresh smell of grass and trees outside has sneaked into the car, soothing Lin Yu's nerves that have been poisoned by spices for nine days.
He bent down and appeared on the shaft of the chariot, and the guard Shenhou beside him immediately led a horse over.Under Jia Lian's horrified gaze, he jumped on the horse directly from the shaft of the chariot, and galloped out as soon as he hit the horse.
His bodyguards Shenhou and Youji immediately followed with a flick of their whip.
Jia Lian, unable to recover for a moment, blinked and made a single sound.
When Zhang Zhong was in Yangzhou, he met Jia Lian, the son of the Jia family. Seeing him as if he was frightened, he smiled and said, "Second Master Lian, don't worry, he will be back in a while." After a month, and another month in the small courtyard of Jia's mansion, even Zhang Zhong himself was a little bored and flustered.What's more, in the past ten years or so, Lin Yu has been completely used to practicing for an hour.
Now that you have a chance, you have to have fun first.
Sure enough, not long after, Jia Lian saw the three figures of Lin Yu, who had already disappeared from the back, appearing from far to near.
Lin Yu, who ran around, had a relaxed smile on his face, and said, "I couldn't hold back for a while and ran away. I hope Second Brother Lian is not to blame."
Jia Lian shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the way you got on the horse just now was really scary." He raised his whip and pointed in one direction, "I'll be at the racecourse in a while, I don't know if you saw it just now."
"It's not going in any direction." Lin Yu said, patting the panting and excited horse.
A moment later, a group of people arrived at the entrance of the racecourse. This was the speed at which Lin Yu and the others took care of Jia Lian.
Perhaps Jia Lian had sent someone over to say hello before, and there were servants waiting at the door, and when they saw them coming, they greeted them with a smile.
Jia Lian knew him, so he couldn't help asking: "You are here, but your master is also here?" Then he said to Lin Yu, "His master is Feng Ziying, the Feng family I just mentioned, there is also his family in this racecourse member."
As soon as the words fell, a pleasantly surprised voice said: "Brother Yu, it's really you!"
Because there were female relatives, the tents on both sides were pulled up to protect Jia Min and Daiyu in an airtight manner. After Lin Yu said goodbye to the students of Xishan Academy, he and Jia Lian watched the servants carry the luggage from the boat. .
Some luggage will not be needed for a while, and must be sent back to the Lin residence first.Some of them were sent to Rongguo Mansion along with the soil rites sent to Jia Mansion.
It was supposed to go back to the Lin Mansion to resettle, but now there are still some flowers and trees in the mansion that have not been resettled, and the coming and going of people is not cheap.He first asked the housekeeper to bring the big luggage back to put it away, and then Jia Min led the three younger ones to visit her natal home.
Jia's mother had already counted the days ahead and only hoped that her married daughter would return to Beijing. When the former son found out that the official ship arrived at the pier today, he hurriedly called Jia Lian to wait for it, fearing that it would be the wrong time.
"It's better not to miss the time today, or the second brother Lian will wait in vain." After Lin Yu sent Jia Min and others to the carriage, he turned around and came over.
Seeing that Lin Yu hadn't gotten into the carriage, Jia Lian looked at the idiotic servants beside him, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to persuade him to ride in the carriage with his aunt, but saw that he was smiling and had no such intention, so he hurriedly moved him to the carriage. He gave up his horse to him, and ordered his nanny to carry him onto the horse.
Lin Yu took a look, and hurriedly waved him away.As soon as I pressed the saddle, I got up lightly.Seeing this, the nurse hurriedly withdrew, and brought Jia Lian a new horse.Jia Lian didn't put on any pretense either. With the help of his servants, he stepped on the horse's slab and got on his horse. He smiled and said to Lin Yu, "Brother Yu must have improved again." His is a real tall horse, taller than Brother Yu. .
Lin Yu said, "It's Lian's second brother who moves less."
Jia Lian was blinded, and said, "I don't have to take the imperial examination or anything. I can be free for a day, and I'll be fine for a day." Congratulations to Lin Yu for getting to know Yuan, and said, "I happened to accept a good ink earlier, especially It is specially reserved for you, and I will send it back to you, and it will not be in vain for its life in this world."
Lin Yu smiled and thanked.
A half-day trip from the wharf to Rongguo Mansion is a must. Although spring has begun, it is still cold in the end. Jia Lian looked enviously at Lin Yu wearing a big cloak and holding the rein in the cold wind, still looking as usual, said: " Brother Yu is really not afraid of the cold." He was done, and the brocade clothes were piled up, surrounded by fur collars, his hands were covered to keep warm, and the horse was completely left to the servants.
Lin Yu kept his eyes on the front and said, "But Second Brother Lian himself said he didn't want to move, so don't complain about it now!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to straighten his flying temple hair, and asked, "I don't know what's wrong with this?" Is there any place in the capital where you can run horses?" It's rare to ride a horse, and it's really not fun to just walk like this.
Jia Lian glanced at the passers-by and hawkers, and couldn't help laughing: "Second brother will take you later." Then he said, "I thought Brother Yu was used to it."
Lin Yu sighed, thinking about how he used to go out, when he was a child, he was tightly wrapped and didn't go out much. Later, when he grew up, he always rode in a carriage. For a short distance, he was surrounded by tall and burly guards. Strictly speaking, today is really the first time.
Walking to the bustling place, it is true that Bi people pass by the door, and many pedestrians stop to watch.
In an instant, the news that Xie Yuanlinlang of Jinling Jinke had entered the capital reached the ears of all the candidates, and it even flew to the boudoirs of countless daughters.
After walking for another moment, Fang approached Rongguo Mansion.The side door of the mansion had already been opened, and the woman who was in a hurry was waiting. Seeing them coming, someone rushed in to report the news.Inside, Jia Mu was waiting anxiously with her arms around Jia Baoyu, when she suddenly heard this sound, she stood up hurriedly and was about to go out to meet her, but was persuaded by everyone's good words.
Baoyu hurriedly laughed and said: "Don't worry, old ancestor, tell your grandson to look ahead. Today, your grandson will be your errand servant to watch where your aunt goes. You just sit quietly and don't miss a moment. "
Mother Jia hugged him hurriedly with a smile, and said: "It's hard for you, but your aunt should have come in at this moment, you are a little family, it's not good if you go astray." After all, I didn't say anything about going out .
After entering Jia's mansion, Lin Yu followed Jia Lian to Jia Amnesty's East Courtyard first. Jia Lian knew that his father was out of touch, and was afraid that he would lose face by being rude to Lin Yu, so he first accused him.
No, Jia Amnesty saw that Jia Lian had brought in a handsome young man, so he said he was the elder brother of the Lin family.Before leaving, he gave the prepared gift without saying anything, and casually took a red bloodstone from the case, saying that he was asking him to play with it.
Lin Yu wanted to decline, but when he saw him waving his hands indifferently and Jia Lian secretly winking at him, Fang smiled and put it away.
After leaving the door, Lin Yu handed the bright red stone that was about to drip out to Su Mu as a gift, and asked, "Why are you winking like that all of a sudden?"
Jia Lian's eyes were complicated and said: "Don't do it for nothing, it's the first time I've seen my father give away the things he collected!"
Lin Yu squinted at him, and said with a smile, "You just have to give birth to a big fat son early, take him to play with him every day, and roll back as many things as you keep, believe it or not?"
Jia Lian blushed and said, "You're serious, but you're making fun of me. I don't believe you haven't had that day."
After speaking, the two went to Jia Zheng's study outside.
Lin Yu walked all the way, watching the remoteness of Jia She's side gradually becoming more magnificent, he thought to himself that this Jia's mansion actually had a fifth-grade worker, Wailang, at the helm, but he still failed to accomplish anything, it's really weird.On the one hand, he met Jia Zheng again.
Jia Zheng stroked his beard, looked at Lin Yu with great satisfaction, checked a few words from the Four Books and Five Classics, and praised the young Xie Yuanlang with the guests outside the door.Seeing that Jia Lian was the only one beside Lin Yu, he raised his eyebrows and asked where Baoyu was.I was not happy when I heard that I accompanied Jia Mu to welcome guests inside. I should say hello to Xie Yuanlang in a serious way!It's just that he is also serious about kissing his sister inside, so it's hard to say.
Just as he was frowning, he heard someone report that Mr. Lin was invited.
It turned out that Jia's mother often heard her daughter talk about how outstanding her nephew was, and when she saw that she was the only one bringing Daiyu and carp slaves, she asked.
Jia Min laughed and said, "Ask Lian'er to take the two elder brothers to pay homage to them. They are outsiders and dare not enter without permission."
Jia Mu said disapprovingly: "What kind of foreign boy, how old is he? They are all relatives of the family. It doesn't matter." The oldest Yingchun here is only eight years old, Baoyu is seven years old, and Tanchun is not even seven years old. , it's no wonder that Mother Jia doesn't care.Today's rules are looser than those of the previous dynasty, and it doesn't matter if the two adults are present.
Two days ago, Xue Baochai, who had just come to Beijing with his mother and brother, was staying at Jia's house. Hearing Jia's mother's call, the relatives of the whole family quietly lowered their heads, trying to avoid it, but everyone present didn't move, so they had to quietly twist their hands in their sleeves. handkerchief.
Jia Min thought about it for a while, so she couldn't help laughing.So, there was the sound that Lin Yu heard outside.
It was the first time that Jia Zheng saw a young man who was eager to learn, so he had to leave a few more words, and when he saw the inside, he urged him away, and he reluctantly let him go.
Jia Lian agreed repeatedly, and Fang sent Lin Yu to the courtyard outside Jia Mu. When the maids saw Lian's second master coming with a jade crown boy, they hurried forward and surrounded him as if they had won a treasure. One of the big girls laughed. Said: "It can be regarded as welcoming a distinguished guest."
Jia Lian originally thought it would be good to just send it outside the courtyard gate, but he knew there was a relative of the Xue family inside, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Hu Po, don't scare her!"
The big maid, Amber, smiled and said, "I know."
Jia Lian stood where he was, watched Lin Yu being led in, and then turned away.
Lin Yu followed the girl, stepped through two doors, and then walked into a warm and fragrant main hall. Seeing him coming, Jia Min hurriedly waved and led him to meet Jia Mu.
When Jia Mu saw Lin Yu, she laughed. Before he could bend down to bow down, she pulled her into her arms and said, "This child is good. I wonder why he grows up, looks so good, and has such a good appearance." Such a good talent." He smiled and pushed Baoyu next to him and said, "It can't be compared!"
Since Lin Yu came in, Baoyu had been in a daze for a long time, and thought to himself that he only thought that people like Qin Zhong were already top-notch.I didn't expect to see someone far above him today. I really have no words to describe the charm of the person in front of me.
Asked Jia Mu to wake him up, and came up to greet the ceremony in a busy and joyous manner. My heart was already overjoyed, and I didn't know what to say in a nonsensical manner. Xi!
When Jia's mother saw it, she knew that his grandson had fallen into an old problem again, so she smiled and said, "He is crazy again, just ignore him for a while." Serve Lin Yu to take off the cloak around him.
Seeing that he was only wearing a straight gown with gauze under his cloak, he annoyed Jia Min and said, "I don't want to make more thick clothes for the children!" He asked Wang Xifeng to tell the embroiderer in the house to do it.
Jia Min hurriedly stopped him and said: "Mother, don't worry, this child is weird, he has never been afraid of cold and heat, and counting nine winters is just a matter of quilting. You don't know how much I have done, but I just don't wear it." Yinu said with the big cloak put away, "I don't listen to what I say, so I had to order someone to make the clothes more beautiful, and the people around him couldn't love them, so I forced them to wear them immediately. "
Mother Jia couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and beckoned the man with the cloak to come back, and Yuanyang hurriedly handed over a pair of glasses.Jia Mu took it, looked at the material carefully, and said with a smile, "it's strange. I saw him coming from a distance, surrounded by smoke and mist, and I thought it was a fairy coming to Penglai. It turns out that you did something wrong. It's hard to do." You can figure it out."
Wang Xifeng on the side stepped forward and said with a smile: "I'll take a look at the old ancestor, but it's organdy, I remember there are still several in the warehouse, and I'm thinking of taking it out to make some cotton quilts."
Jiamu then spat at her, "What kind of organdy gauze is nonsense. The official name of this gauze is Soft Smoke. It got this name because it looks like smoke from a distance. It's rare to see it now."
Jia Min said with a smile: "At the beginning, I was sorting out the warehouse in Yangzhou, but I found this one unexpectedly. I thought that the yarns now don't have such a thick and light texture, so I thought about making him a big cloak. Isn't it true? You are really a god. Although you said that the clothes are not good-looking, but after trying it, it really looks good."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "It's still a clever idea of my aunt, if we can't think of it anymore, we just want to use it as a quilt cover!"
Jia Mu shamed her and said, "How dare you take it out and talk about it." Then she said, "Bring the rainy sky blue and pine green that are guarded in the warehouse, and make a cloak for Brother Yu, and there are silver red ones." , make two more for Baoyu, and compare with this."
Wang Xifeng looked at it, then smiled and said: "I can't find such a soft and bright silk, I'm afraid it won't look as good as this one."
Jia Min hurriedly said: "Just leave it to me, I have more over there."
Jia's mother led Lin Yu to see the three sisters of Jia Ying and Tanxi, and pointed to another woman with plump skin sitting beside her and said, "This is the cousin of the second wife's family. You just need to call Sister Xue." .”
Xue Baochai hurriedly lowered her head and gave a slight salute, but did not look up. She only took a sneak peek after Jiamu led Lin Yu back. This is Xie Yuanlang of Jinling Jinke. Sure enough, Baoyu was compared to Baoyu regardless of his appearance and talent. go down.
However, this should be true. Baoyu is only a child, but he is already a teenager.
But when Jia Mu saw that Lin Yu had put on her crown, she ordered Yuanyang, "Bring me the small white jade crown and the ebony crown I kept, as well as a white fox fur cloak and a black cloud leopard cloak." I went, and I took it.
Everyone looked at her hand, the white jade crown was pure white and flawless, and the natural bright red on the top alone was trembling and heart-wrenching.The ebony crown is extremely dignified, with a hint of fragrance.The white fox fur cloak is even more rare, soft white and shiny, without a trace of variegation.The other cloak of the Wuyun Leopard is even more resplendent in emerald gold and green in color.
Jia Mu gave the first three to Lin Yu, and the last one to Baoyu, saying, "This one is called bird gold, and it was woven by twisting threads from peacock feathers in Russia. I'll give you the other ones, brother, Nothing else."
Baoyu said happily, "Only the elder brother of the Lin family deserves to wear this."
Jia's mother laughed and said, "Don't blame me for loving him. The children of any family will be jealous. My grandson has a good heart, so I don't take these things to heart."
Everyone laughed and said yes.
When it was passed on for dinner, Lin Yu was invited outside, and Jia's mother asked Baoyu Haosheng to take him out together.
It was rare that Baoyu didn't hesitate to stay with the ladies to eat together this time, but bowed his hands and bid farewell to the family members, and led Lin Yu out.Regardless of other people, only one person is satisfied.
This person is Mrs. Wang.
She only knew that Lin Yu was Xie Yuan at such a young age, and it was rare for Baoyu to be willing to get close to him, and she only hoped that he could take her son who didn't like economic career with him a little bit.It is the same reason that those parents in later generations would like their children to play with good academic masters.
What's the problem if this person's surname is not Lin!
Lin Yu and Baoyu went out. Seeing Baoyu stealing glances at him from time to time, he said with a smile, "Brother Bao, what are you looking at?"
Baoyu said foolishly: "I often say that daughters are made of water, and men are made of mud. Today I know I was wrong."
Lin Yu thought it was funny when he heard a child say this, and teased him, "What's wrong?"
Then Jia Baoyu sighed, and said: "There are three kinds of people in this world, those who are made of water, those who are made of mud, and the other one is rare, beautiful, and they are really made of jade. It can be seen that they are jade people. "As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yu and remained silent.
Lin Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.Such a child in his eyes talked about color seriously, no wonder he couldn't help it.
Baoyu didn't blame him for laughing out loud, but said blankly: "It looks better when you smile, you should smile more."
Lin Yu shook his head and pretended to say, "How can I laugh more? If there are a few more stupid geese in the world, wouldn't it be my sin?"
When Baoyu heard this, he was busy distinguishing, and saw Jia Lian coming up to him inside, and said, "What stupid goose?" Seeing the rainstorm, he took Lin Yu and said, "Brother Yu, don't make fun of him, it's enough I'm stuck." Pulling Baoyu again.
"But Brother Bao is here." A tall and strong young man with a round head and a big face came out from the side. He was talking, but he caught sight of Lin Yu and then stopped his feet. Walking towards Lin Yu.
Seeing this, Jia Lian screamed badly, and hurriedly stopped him: "Why is Wenlong here, but just tell me if you have any troubles." Then he gave Baoyu a wink.
On the contrary, Baoyu woke up and knew that his aunt and cousin were not taboo about meat and vegetables. Lest he offend the gods in his mind, he took advantage of Jia Lian to drag Xue Pan, and hurriedly led Lin Yu in first.
Seeing the beauty go, Xue Pan stretched his neck, and asked Jia Lian in a hurry.
Jia Lian still didn't know what he was going to ask, so he quickly blocked his mouth and pulled it aside, saying: "He is a serious scholar, don't provoke him, he has good fruit to eat."
Xue Pan winked and smiled and said: "What scholars, there are too many scholars, tell me, who is this?" She is really stunning, I have never seen a more beautiful beauty, Xiangling compared with her , It's like poor water compared to fine wine, it's bland and far worse.
Jia Lian looked around and saw that there was no one around Lin Yu, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously, "It's the serious cousin of the Lin family's uncle, and he is related on the same level; he just got to know Yuan last year, and a month later. It is Chun Wei, who will have a promising future at that time, and is a different person from us."
After hearing this, Xue Pan said, "It's a pity." He looked in for a few times, and forgot what he had come to see Jia Lian, so he shook his head and walked away.I was worried and panicked, but I couldn't get close, and I deeply regretted it.
Seeing that he didn't make trouble for no reason, Jia Lian heaved a big sigh when he just left.He knew it, so he and Baoyu were the only ones at the banquet today, and he didn't dare to call Xue Pan.Unexpectedly, it happened by accident, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on Jia Lian's back.
Busily went inside to have a meal, knowing that Lin Yu didn't drink and didn't call out, the three of them used some of the Jiangnan dishes arranged by Jia Liante and then dispersed.
So far, Lin Yu and Jia Min have lived together in Jia's mansion.But he was in the outer courtyard, a small and exquisite guest house specially arranged by Jia Lian, which was decorated so magnificently that it could not be called magnificent, and it was also hung with Mi Fu's calligraphy on the wall, and a long Persian blanket on the floor, jade tube pens, Chengni inkstone, Chengxin paper, and Tingyu ink are newly listed, which can be seen as Jia Lian's handwriting.
Lin Yu originally wanted to live outside, but later saw that no one came to bother her, perhaps because there was only less than a month left in Chunwei, and it was very clean.There are still the people he used to in the yard, and Nanny Liu's methods of treating people are first-class.Therefore, no matter how bad-mouthed the mother-in-law is, she is safe and sound in Lin Yu's yard.Anyway, the young master of the Lin family is easy to work with, and he is generous. Not to mention the original monthly payment, there is another monthly payment.After those women saw that rigid Nanny Liu mercilessly returned the two gambling money to Lian Erye, no one dared to try again.
Lin Yu didn't know anyone in the capital, except Liu Xianglian, whose whereabouts were hard to find.However, there was one family that he had to visit in person.
It is the son of Xin Hanlin, his new cheap master, who is currently the Xin Ji Restaurant of the Guozijian Jijiu.The Guozijian Jijiu doesn't care about the scientific examination, but because of the examinee Xin Zongping in the family, Xin Jijiu has been avoided since last year.It was the norm, not surprising.
Lin Yu went to the invitation post first, and then came to the door after waiting for a response from there.
However, Lin Yu didn't see Xin Jijiu's face, and Jijiu himself said that he had avoided something.
"Your father is too cautious." Lin Yu was not very polite in front of Xin Zongping. Judging from Xin Hanlin's seniority, he and Xin Zongping's father are considered to be of the same generation, so there is no need to be very respectful Dear, "There is such a big candidate at home, do you still need to avoid me?"
Xin Zongping said disapprovingly: "It's just such a temperament, so grandpa is not used to living at home, and he doesn't want to come back."
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know how a person with such a true temperament can teach such a person who is not enough to follow the rules and follow the rules. I have to draw a few more frames." After looking at Xin Zongping for a while, he said, "It's fine if I don't see you. It looks like you're doing well, so I'm relieved."
"Before Chunwei, no matter how much anger he had, he had to hold back, and he wouldn't explode immediately." Xin Zongping smiled, and sent Lin Yu out without saying that he would meet his stepmother. It was really nothing to see. of.
A month passed easily, and in the blink of an eye it was the time of Chun Wei.
This time everyone has experience, Liu Nanny and Bai Shubian are getting ready in an orderly manner.Food and clothing, and a small packet of spices, Lin Yu made a bitter face when he saw it.
Mother Liu smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? This time the spring is cold and the smell must be much better than that of Qiu Wei." Then she said, "It wasn't smoky last time, and Chun Wei certainly won't, but it's the ones that are frozen every year. There are many." However, there is no need to worry about my uncle.
A woman from outside came to report that it was a girl named Yuanyang who had come. Bai Shu hurriedly greeted her and came back with a bundle in her hand.
"The old lady in this mansion specially ordered some thick single clothes." As he said, he opened up the blue dolo fur wrapper, and inside were two thick cotton clothes, which were not very obvious at first sight.
"Where are you going back?" Lin Yu asked casually.
"I just said that the old lady couldn't leave her, so I went back." Bai Shu laughed, "If it's the old lady's words, don't ask the uncle to bother to thank you. If you have something to say, you can talk about it after the exam." Sitting down and drinking a cup of tea is obviously a taboo, but Bai Shu is satisfied.She had already dismissed several groups of little girls who were poking around in private, and she admired Yuanyang for being so well-behaved.
"This is what hurts people!" Nanny Liu nodded, then picked up a piece of clothing, touched the material carefully and said, "This one is not worse than what we prepared, it doesn't look too obvious, the material is Rare." Thick and soft, not to mention airtight, but also warm.
As he spoke, he took out the two pieces of clothing, spread them out, and touched them carefully.
Seeing this, Lin Yu moved the hand playing with the chess pieces, and said in surprise, "Use this? Doesn't it mean that ours is so-so?"
As she touched it, Madam Liu wished she could break it open and crush it to see what's wrong inside.Hearing Lin Yu's question, he smiled and said, "There's a reason for it." This fabric was originally made with painstaking weaving every year for official and eunuch candidates in the capital.I'm afraid that what Jia's mother brought out today is more from her early years. There are not many candidates in Jia's mansion today.
The search in Chunwei is stricter than that in Qiuwei. The officials who search the body are very careful, looking at clothes.Wearing this to take the exam, they will know that the candidate is a person of birth, and they will be less offended.
This is how the people who pass the scientific examination rely on their clothes.
Lin Yu saw Liu Mama say this, and said with a smile: "I just said earlier that someone actually put their business into the examination room. How could I know that there is so much knowledge in a small piece of clothing today? It's really long." Got it."
"Don't be sarcastic either." Nanny Liu said with a smile as she twirled the seams of the fabric while touching, "This thing has been the same since ancient times, how can the word fair be so easy!"
Lin Yu listened and let her go.
It was another nine days. When Lin Yu left the examination room, Jia Lian was waiting with his long entourage and a carriage.
Seeing that Lin Yu's face was not very good-looking, Jia Lian could smell a refreshing fragrance from him after a few steps, and asked, "Which one is smelly all over the body, you are fine, how much did you order?" fragrant?"
"It's much less than in Qiuwei." But it's not much better, Lin Yu waved his hands as if he didn't want to say more.Jia Lian didn't dare to ask more questions, hurriedly greeted him and went back to Jia's mansion, where he was sent back to the courtyard.
This time there was no hot spring, but Madam Liu had already prepared firewood, and there was a small kitchen in the yard, where she boiled water while sending it in, until Lin Yu felt that the smell from her nose had dissipated a lot.
Lin Yu only felt that he was a little white and wrinkled from the soak, leaning on the couch half-closed to rest his mind, the room had been quiet for several days without burning incense.
"Is the Lin Mansion ready?" After a while, Lin Yu summoned Bai Shu and asked.These days, he just stretched his hands and feet in this small yard, which is really suffocating.
"I've got everything ready up front." Bai Shu hurriedly replied, "The lady over there said she was afraid of disturbing you, so she didn't tell you that she would move after you finish the exam." It will take some time.
"Go ask Su Mu to ask Lian's second brother when he is free to go to the racetrack."
Bai Shu hurriedly responded and went.
At this end, Jia Lian was lazily leaning on the kang, chatting teeth with Wang Xifeng, when he heard Lin Yu send Su Mu to ask, he said with a smile: "I'm an idler now, I can leave at any time."
Then Wang Xifeng was surprised and said: "Isn't this just after the exam, why do you still have such spirit?" Although she has never experienced the days when there were candidates at home, she has also heard that Jia Zhu spent more than half a month after the exam. I will keep it, but I can't slow down for a while.
Jia Lian said with a smile, "I said that brother Yu is different from ordinary scholars. You just don't believe me." Then he got up and got dressed.
Wang Xifeng hurriedly got up to help him dress, and then said with a smile: "Why don't you believe it, but I just said that you said that his appearance and character are not ordinary, and I have seen it with my own eyes, how can I guess that there will be something like today?"
Jia Lian just laughed, seeing no one was around, secretly took a sip on her face, and said, "My lord is gone, don't wait for me to have dinner."
Wang Xifeng was taken aback, and shouted shyly, "You're going to die!" Seeing that Jia Lian had disappeared, Fang took the handkerchief and gently rubbed his cheek, snorted and called Xing'er Wanger to come over and hold his ear and call Haosheng to serve him. with.
My son travels with ease, and it's not a matter of one sentence to prepare.
When everything was ready and it was already after lunch, Jia Lian sent someone to call Lin Yu.This time Lin Yu didn't bring Su Mu with him, the capital was originally his land, so if someone sees him, even if he doesn't recognize him, it's not good if he just thinks he looks familiar.
As for the racetrack, where dudes appear the longest, almost [-]% of them have his acquaintances.
But in this case, a Jing Mo stayed with Lin Ruhai in Yangzhou, and a Su Mu was in the capital and it was not easy to take it out, so Lin Yu's side was empty.It's not that there are no guards or anything like that, it's just that it doesn't look good for our young master to not have a little servant and book boy to serve him personally.Although Lin Yu didn't find it troublesome, if it provoked people who didn't have a good eye to come forward to find trouble, it wouldn't be Lin Yu's original intention to go out to relax.
The position next to Lin Yu is important, even Madam Liu is a little worried, she can manage people, but she can't discipline the boys outside.
It was Jia Min who knew that when he heard that Lin Yu was going out, he hurriedly sent Qing Lan's younger brother who was going out with him this time.I heard that although he is a little younger, he was originally a servant in the second door, so he is quite clever.He and Qinglan's grandmother used to be the nuns around Jia Min, and she taught the two grandchildren how to look up and down. This time, Jia Min sent her to Lin Yu's side.
Everyone in Qinglan's family was not unhappy. After all, Lin Ruhai's legitimate son was only three years old and hadn't been enlightened yet. When a book boy was needed, he would be too old to be used.
Lin Yu thought to himself, it doesn't matter if you only order around outside. Seeing the young man kneeling down, he didn't stop him, and asked, "It's famous, what's it called?"
The boy shook his head and said, "Please also give me a name from the uncle."
Seeing that he was fair-skinned and beautiful, Lin Yu thought about it for a while and said, "Let's call him Yunling, get up quickly, and go out with me first."
Yunling kowtowed to the end, and then followed with a low eyebrow.Not to mention the birth of this family, the waiters are really familiar. This new servant is not familiar with Lin Yu's temperament yet, so Lin Yu feels very comfortable in using it.
But yes, if it wasn't good, Jia Min couldn't send it to him.
Jia Lian himself is not very familiar with these places, but some of his acquaintances know them, and he has been there once or twice.He took Lin Yu out of the city along the wind and said, "It's late today, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in time. There is Zhuangzi from the Feng family beside the racecourse. I have already sent someone to greet him. I will stay overnight with him tonight." One night, Brother Yu, what do you think?"
"It's up to Lian's second brother to arrange." Lin Yu lifted the curtain of the carriage, and riding a horse in the city would not be enjoyable anyway, and he would wait until he got out of the city.
It didn't take long to get out of the city, unlike going to the pier.Maybe it was because Lin Yu was too engrossed in reading in the carriage. When Jia Lian knocked on the wall of the carriage, he realized that he had already left the city.
Slightly opening the door curtain, the fresh smell of grass and trees outside has sneaked into the car, soothing Lin Yu's nerves that have been poisoned by spices for nine days.
He bent down and appeared on the shaft of the chariot, and the guard Shenhou beside him immediately led a horse over.Under Jia Lian's horrified gaze, he jumped on the horse directly from the shaft of the chariot, and galloped out as soon as he hit the horse.
His bodyguards Shenhou and Youji immediately followed with a flick of their whip.
Jia Lian, unable to recover for a moment, blinked and made a single sound.
When Zhang Zhong was in Yangzhou, he met Jia Lian, the son of the Jia family. Seeing him as if he was frightened, he smiled and said, "Second Master Lian, don't worry, he will be back in a while." After a month, and another month in the small courtyard of Jia's mansion, even Zhang Zhong himself was a little bored and flustered.What's more, in the past ten years or so, Lin Yu has been completely used to practicing for an hour.
Now that you have a chance, you have to have fun first.
Sure enough, not long after, Jia Lian saw the three figures of Lin Yu, who had already disappeared from the back, appearing from far to near.
Lin Yu, who ran around, had a relaxed smile on his face, and said, "I couldn't hold back for a while and ran away. I hope Second Brother Lian is not to blame."
Jia Lian shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the way you got on the horse just now was really scary." He raised his whip and pointed in one direction, "I'll be at the racecourse in a while, I don't know if you saw it just now."
"It's not going in any direction." Lin Yu said, patting the panting and excited horse.
A moment later, a group of people arrived at the entrance of the racecourse. This was the speed at which Lin Yu and the others took care of Jia Lian.
Perhaps Jia Lian had sent someone over to say hello before, and there were servants waiting at the door, and when they saw them coming, they greeted them with a smile.
Jia Lian knew him, so he couldn't help asking: "You are here, but your master is also here?" Then he said to Lin Yu, "His master is Feng Ziying, the Feng family I just mentioned, there is also his family in this racecourse member."
As soon as the words fell, a pleasantly surprised voice said: "Brother Yu, it's really you!"
