[Red House] Raiders of life

Because the system task is in Lin's house, not in Jia's, Lin Ning doesn't pay much attention to Jia's house, especially these days, he circles around Lin Yi every day.Therefore, only in October did Lin Ning know that Yingchun had gone to be a concubine for King Shuirong of Beijing, and that there was a lot of rumors about Jia Baoyu and his second daughter.

Lin Ning was stunned for a long time before recovering.As for Yingchun going to be Shui Rong's concubine, Lin Ning didn't know which was better than the original book.As for those rumors, Lin Ning was stunned for a while, she was sure that the monks would not dare to move again under her threat.Although the ten-year period has passed, but in the tenth year, a monk suddenly discovered that there was no restriction of the life-and-death talisman. He thought it was Lin Ning's extrajudicial favor and secretly avoided everyone to thank her.

But even without them, Xue Baochai still made a golden lock.So, this is the same as what happened in Jia Yucun. Is it because the plot emperor is too powerful, or is it really as some people in later generations guessed that this golden lock was made by the Xue family on purpose?

Of course, Lin Ning does not know about these things.Lin Ning didn't have the time to explore, let alone pay attention to it.As winter came, Lin Ning tightened his body even more, even though it looked fine at present.But how can Lin Ning feel relieved of the training that is much more intense and stressful than the college entrance examination in the previous life?

Sure enough, when Lin Ning received Lin Xun's No.12 letter, Lin Yi fell ill and burned for a day and a night.After the fever subsided, Lin Ningyan said: "It was agreed at the beginning, if you can hold it, we won't stop you, but if you can't hold it, you have to listen to us, and you are not allowed to do anything."

Leaving one sentence behind, Lin Ning directly collected all of Lin Yi's books.As a result, that night, Lin Yi knelt in front of Lin Ning's hospital supporting his sick body, refusing to get up.

This is no mistake!This is clearly a threat!

"If you are not allowed to continue the exam, you can't afford to kneel? Use your own body to threaten us! Why do you think we will agree? Isn't all you can rely on is that we love you and we can't bear it? But you just take Let us take our love for you and our intolerance for you as your bargaining chip?"

Lin Yi's eyes were full of guilt, but he was very persistent. He was the most obedient child in the family, but no one could suppress his stubborn temper!Lin Ruhai was so angry that he couldn't hold back, he picked up a branch outside and pulled it over.Lin Yi was just recovering from a serious illness, and he knelt in the icy and snowy ground for so long, this slap hit him so tremblingly that he couldn't stand on his knees.

Lin Ning was taken aback, and quickly stepped forward to hug him, stopping Lin Ruhai.Someone carried Lin Yi into the house, and directly placed Lin Yi in his warm pavilion.In this situation, she dare not let Lin Yi go back to his own yard.Although Lin Ruhai is only in a moment of anger, he may not be able to fight again when he recovers.But Lin Yi's current posture of not giving up until he achieves his goal, if he says anything or does anything, Lin Ruhai will be irritated again.

In the room, Lin Ning personally applied medicine to Lin Yi, and seeing him clenched his teeth so that his brow was covered with sweat but remained silent, he was really annoyed and distressed.

"Grandmother, I remember that when I was young, I watched others eat ice bowls and wanted to eat them, but you all said that I was weak and I couldn't use them. You asked me to take a small bite, and then I was not allowed to eat. So I could only sit Just watch."

"Later, when I was old, I learned to ride and shoot. Because of my heart disease, the doctor once told me that I could not have strenuous exercise, and you refused to let me. Even though time has passed, the doctor said that it is not a problem to be able to run horses properly, but you are still afraid. So, every time I go to the academy In the examination, the six arts of a gentleman, I can get the first place in other items, but I have never passed the second item of imperial archery. Whenever I travel, the most I can do is sit quietly and walk slowly on the horse, looking at the elder brother and the second brother. Ride the horse and gallop."

"Later, the Academy once organized us to go on a field trip. Because the place we were going to was two days away and we had to climb a mountain on foot, you were worried that I would not be able to bear it, so you didn't allow me to go. So I could only stay at home. Wait, when they come back, sit in a corner of the lecture hall and listen to them talking about this interesting story happily, but they can't get in a word."

"Later on..."

"Grandma, I know that you are all doing it for my own good. So, if you don't allow, don't allow, don't allow, I won't do it. However, I also have desires and dreams. The eldest brother has what he wants to do, and the second brother Yes, I do too. You only think that I did it for the Lin family. I did do it for the Lin family. But it’s not just because of this, there is another reason, I want to. I want to take the exam. "

"From childhood to adulthood, you all have expectations for your elder brother and second brother, and have many hopes and demands, but you don't have any for me. No, you have. It's just that all your hopes for me are just for me to live well, as long as I just want to live in peace. But, grandma, you forgot that even you have said that people can’t just live for the sake of living. I also want to be your high hopes, and I want to be looked forward to by you all the time."

"Since I started school, I can read something that others can only remember after reading it ten times. I can learn something that others can only understand after a year. I can learn it for three months. How can I be worse than others? I can't take the imperial examinations as I like? I have the ability, why can't I! I'm not reconciled!"

"I have a heart disease, and it is true that my body is not as good as others. But in the past few years, I have taken care of it and it is no different from ordinary people. But whenever I am sick and tired, if there is any trouble, you and your parents are always trembling and can't sleep at night. I know this It's probably because I was too serious to scare you every time when I was a child. But now it's not like that, is my health really that bad now?"

"I promised you that if I really can't bear it, I won't go my own way. Because I know that if I really can't bear it but still insist, it is tantamount to asking for death. I am still young, and I don't want to die. I don't want to have not yet Doing something for the Lin family has already caused you to bear the grief of losing your children and grandchildren. However, I can feel it in my own body. I just fell ill once, and my elder brother also suffered two illnesses when he was taking the exam. Am I really unable to hold on now? Or... just grandma, you think I can't hold on, or are you afraid that I will be unable to hold on?"

"Grandmother! Since I was young, you have loved me the most. Help me. Over the years, I have never asked you anything, but I have mentioned it in the past. As long as you say no, I will be obedient. But , this time I want to make my own decision. Grandma, I don't want to live for the sake of living, so what is the meaning of life?"

Lin Yi was crying while talking.

Lin Ning knew for the first time that he had so many grievances in his heart.yes!This kid is too smart.He has the ability and ability to compare with Zhou Yan of the previous dynasty, and even Gan Luo.But because of his body, the elders hindered him in various ways, and he was never worse than anyone else, even stronger than most people.How could he be willing!How could you be convinced!

Lin Ning turned his back, tears streaming down his face, but he didn't answer anything.I could only tell him to take a good rest in a hoarse voice and talk about it tomorrow.

After leaving the Nuan Pavilion, Lin Ning saw Lin Ruhai standing at the door.Lin Ning didn't say a word, and went straight to the side hall, Lin Ruhai also followed, helped Lin Ning to sit down, "Mother, Brother Yi's injury..."

Before Lin Ruhai finished speaking, Lin Ning gave him a cross-eyed look, "You still have the nerve to ask, you don't know how heavy your own hands are!"

Lin Ruhai accompanied him with a smile, and Lin Ning said angrily: "There is no sense in his hands. You think he is Brother Xun, who was beaten up by you. Doesn't it matter if he is rough and thick?" After speaking, Lin Ning suddenly thought of Lin Ruhai. In terms of translation, in fact, for him, he hopes that they will treat him like other brothers as elders, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Ning sighed, "I have taken the medicine, there is no big problem. The medicine is made at home, and I usually use it after asking my brother. Don't worry."

Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Ning asked again: "Just now, you heard what Brother Yi said."

Standing just outside the door, how can you not hear it!

Seeing Lin Ruhai nodding, Lin Ning said, "What are you going to do!"

Lin Ruhai opened his mouth, hesitated for a while and said, "Mother, why don't you just accept him."

Lin Ning looked at him, a little astonished.Lin Ruhai said again: "He has always been arrogant, so why would he be willing to let him give up? At that time, my son was thinking, if I were him, would I give up. The answer is no."

Lin Ning was dumbfounded. For her, there may be more than one path to success, and the world may not only be high in education.But for them, scholars, farmers, businessmen, especially scholars, have a bit of integrity.Six yuan and first, famous all over the world, even if it is not for the Lin family, which scholar would not want it?Others can't do it, but Lin Yi can do it!

"Mother, Brother Yi is right. Over the years, he has never made any demands on us, but if we don't allow, don't let, don't allow, he will not do it. Just this once, only This time, I... I can't bear to refuse him."

In fact, Lin Ning already had the answer in her heart. She was thinking about how to persuade Lin Ruhai, but in the end it was Lin Ruhai who convinced her.

"That's all. Let him go. Tomorrow, I'll let Imperial Physician Gong take a look. I'm afraid I'll have to bother him a lot in the days to come. Make a backup gift and send it to Imperial Physician Gong's residence in person. We should thank him. I I seem to remember that there was an isolated book on herbal medicine at home, which was written by a famous doctor in the previous dynasty. You should look for it carefully."

Gift-giving has to match what you like.

The next day, Lin Yi woke up early to confess to Lin Ruhai.Instead of scolding him again, Lin Ruhai asked people to bring back all his books, test papers and other things.Knowing that the elders had agreed, Lin Yi couldn't recover for a while.Seeing him overjoyed and stunned, Lin Ruhai couldn't laugh or cry.

By November, the villas of the families in the capital who have concubines who want to visit relatives are almost completed.The Jia family sent someone to say that they invited the Lin family to take a look around, which also meant an inscription and a couplet.

At the end of the year, the household department became busy, with a lot of trivial matters, Lin Ruhai couldn't get away at all, let alone in his capacity, there was no need to go.Lin Jin is a junior, but he can go. Originally, if he just went for a stroll, for Jia Min's sake, the two families have not completely broken off the relationship, so he can also give this face.It's a pity that Jia's dialect, inside and outside, has the meaning of wanting to use his name and inscription as a gimmick, so he is not so happy.He found an excuse that Lin Yi was preparing for the exam and he needed to take care of him and hid.Although it is an excuse, it is also a fact.It just inevitably made Jia's boss unhappy.

In December, Lin Xun sent a letter saying that he would not come back at the end of the year, and mentioned that he had gone to Beirong with the caravan. Lin Ning was so angry that he yelled for someone to arrest him!Such a big matter, do not discuss it with the family.Although it is the Taiping period, the Bei Rong will still disturb the border from time to time.Especially in winter, when there is a shortage of food on the grassland, it is inevitable to come to the border to raid.But it's winter right now!

It would be fine if he went in spring and summer, it was dangerous enough to stay at the border now, and he followed the caravan to the territory of Beirong, he was not afraid of death!

However, the capital city is thousands of miles away from the border city, and the Lin family is beyond reach.Fortunately, there are letters from time to time to let the family know that he is safe.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the three empresses in the palace went home to visit their relatives.Of course, this has nothing to do with the Lin family.The Lin family sent someone to give a gift, and after expressing it, Lin Jin took his younger siblings to the temple fair. Daiyu was still dressed in men's clothing, so it was all right with Lin Jin and Lin Yi by her side.The happiest person was Lin Nuo. At the temple fair, there were many interesting things and delicious things.Even though Lin Nuo is a little older now, he still does not change his true nature as a foodie. He eats all the way from the street to the end of the street, and returns home to Lin Ning, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min.

On the ninth day of February, Lin Ning, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min did not move, and the children sent Lin Yi to the Gongyuan.At the entrance of the Gongyuan, several people were talking, Lin Jin told the things that need to be paid attention to in the Gongyuan, suddenly the sound of horseshoes was deafening, a man drove the horse closer, stopped the horse before him, and came with Lin Yi A bear hug!

"I just said, with my hard-earned horse, I will definitely make it in time!"

No need to ask, this guy is Lin Xun.only……

Lin Yi saw that his clothes were wrinkled, his beard was scruffy, and his body still smelled of sweat, so he pushed him away in disgust, "Are you fleeing?"

Lin Xun was so angry that he jumped, "Can you talk about your conscience? I rode back day and night on my Maxima, just to rush you to the Gongyuan, and you have such a face! Clean up, I don't have time to take a shower, try to see how much better you can be than me!"

The corner of Lin Yi's mouth twitched and he rolled his eyes, but he wisely didn't hurt him any more.In the end, I still understand that this brother treats him well.Although when I was young, I was always angry that he was better than him in learning, and felt that I had no face, and I forced him to withhold his homework many times, not letting him do so well...

Uh... well, that was all in the past.

After Lin Yi entered the Gongyuan, several children went home together, Lin Xun saw Lin Ruhai at the door, and gave him a bear hug again... But he forgot, Lin Ruhai's typical Virgo cleanliness.He slapped him with a big slap, ordering him to wash up and get rid of the smell.Otherwise, don't come to see him.

Seeing Lin Jin and the others sniggering aside, he thought to himself: You deserve it!

Lin Xun cleaned up and came out, and the whole family gathered and waited for him.Once he opened his mouth, he never stopped.The most talked about is that he picked someone up.Blonde foreigner.Coming from the west, he wanted to see the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but happened to meet Bei Rong when he was disturbing the border, and caught him there. Because of his weird appearance, he was kept as a pet by the Bei Rong royal family for several years.

Then, he was rescued by Lin Xun.

"We escaped in the middle of the night, and before we left, we gave all the horses in the tribe crotons. Don't say it, this thing really works, no matter how powerful you are, how fierce your horse is, you can't do anything if you eat crotons. Unfortunately, later they We still chased after it. Taking advantage of the heavy snow, we dug a hole in the ground and buried ourselves. After waiting for an hour, the Beirong people left before we came out, but I was so cold."

He spoke triumphantly and with great interest, but he didn't notice that the faces of Lin Ning, Lin Ruhai, and Jia Min who were sitting above all turned dark.

Daiyu tugged at the hem of his clothes kindly, but Lin Xun didn't see her prompt at all, and instead said: "Sister, don't worry, this time the second brother brought back a lot of things, many of which are not available in Beijing. Yes. And your birthday gift, nothing less!"

"Let me continue to tell you that the foreigner's name is Andrew. He is still a talent. He has traveled many places and can not only read maps, but also make maps. Moreover, their maps are not the same as ours. It can be said that each has its own characteristics. Good or bad. If it wasn't for this, why would I go to such lengths to get him back. I almost died trying to save him."

Lin Jin kept coughing, and Lin Xun wondered, "Brother, are you sick? It's the beginning of spring, and coughing is the most common, so don't pay attention!"

"Lin Xun!"

This call of names and surnames was accompanied by great anger, except for Lin Ruhai, he didn't think of him.Lin Jin, Daiyu and Lin Nuo turned their heads away in a tacit understanding.I only heard Lin Xun wailing again and again, but he was still dragged to the study.

The next day, Lin Xun lay on the bed, feeling very aggrieved and complaining, "Father, why are you attacking so hard? I'm about to get married, so you can't beat me like you used to."

Lin Ruhai just snorted.

"Father, you don't miss me after I've been away for such a long time? Hit me as soon as you come back, and you can do it. Besides, I'm already back, so I have to go to Princess Anping for two days Let's pay a visit to the government. How can I go like this? I'm too rude."

Then, Lin Xun got another slap on the buttocks, which caused him to cry out in pain.

Lin Ruhai sighed: Sure enough, children are all debts!

After Daiyu's birthday, the Lin family saw Andrew who finally arrived in the capital slowly with two large carriages.Because of Lin Xun's previous special order, the Lin family treated him as a distinguished guest.Lin Ning finally saw what Lin Xun called their different map.

There are still many differences with those of later generations, but there are indeed many places that can be used for reference.Moreover, with this thing in place, many deep-seated things that Lin Ning could not talk about before can be said with reason.

In particular, many people in Beirong can speak Chinese. Andrew is very talented in languages. He has been there for a few years, and now he speaks Chinese really well.Dare to communicate with each other is not a problem at all.Otherwise, Lin Ning thinks that her English level is not bad, but it is limited to daily communication. There are many places where professional terms are used, such as geography, and she is safely caught blind.

On February [-]th, Lin Yi left the examination room.Lin Jin directly drove him back from the Gongyuan.As soon as Lin Yi got home, he went to bed after freshening up. After sleeping for seven hours, he woke up in good spirits and was not sick. The Lin family was overjoyed.

The injury on Lin Xun's butt also healed, so he began to integrate the map by combining the advantages and disadvantages of the two countries.

Released in early March.Lin translated Huiyuan.The rest of the Lin family were all prepared, not to mention that after Lin Yi finished the exam, he silently showed the test paper to the head of Yanshan Academy and Lin Ruhai, and they both nodded.

Only Lin Xun's eyes widened, "Hey, don't be so good, okay! You won't come first in the imperial examination, right? In this case, plus your previous county examination, government examination, courtyard examination, township examination and this You are the first in the next test, you want to get the six yuan and the first place that can't be paid out in a hundred years!"

Uh... Well, it's also my fault that when Lin Yi tried to persuade him, he only focused on comforting him and didn't talk about his own.Later, when the whole family knew about Lin Yi's plan, Lin Xun was concentrating on all kinds of drawings and materials, and he didn't hear anything outside the window... Later, he went out as soon as the rural examination was over.So... Lin Xun was so happy that he didn't know about it until now.

"Please! Give me a way to survive anyway! If you are like this, will I have to take the exam in the future!"

Although Lin Xun had passed the provincial examination, his grades were not satisfactory. Even if he took the general examination, he didn't have much hope. Besides, he was preoccupied with the map at that time, so he didn't sign up to take it again.

Lin Ruhai sneered and said, "Are you planning to take the exam?"

Lin Xun was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, "Can I not take the test? Dad, you...can you accept that I don't take the test?"

Lin Ruhai's face darkened immediately.Did he say that he must be pressured to take the exam?And he obviously didn't like it, so he put all his thoughts on the drawing.In fact, if the map can be obtained by him, he has the military spirit, which is enough to become famous, and whether he is a Jinshi or not is not so important.

The library is just sorting and organizing, and the map is making.The sorter does not have enough reputation to support the spread, and it is easy to be ignored and buried by later generations, but Lin Xun, as the producer and the founder, will not be ignored.

Therefore, as long as the map is made, regardless of whether Lin Xun was born as a Jinshi or not, the credit belongs to him, and he will not lose a single point.And even if he was born as a Jinshi, in front of Yu Tu, his status as a Jinshi is not of much concern.And he didn't need to borrow the name of Jinshi's background to enter the official career.So this stuff becomes less important.

However, in Lin Xun's view, it is no wonder that there is such a misunderstanding.After all, the whole family is... um...

The corner of Lin Ruhai's mouth twitched, "Do you like the test or not!"

Lin Ning was very surprised, wow, her cheap son can be so arrogant at times!

Lin Xun strode over and hugged Lin Ruhai, "Father! You are really my dear father! This way I don't have to spend so much time doing papers, and I can spend more time making maps."

Hehe, don't ask now if he is the only one in the whole family who is not his own.

In the palace examination at the end of March, Lin Yi got his wish and won the first prize.The name of Liuyuan and No. [-] has been settled.At the same time, it was also the wedding date of Lin Xun and Su Wan.For the Lin family, it can be described as double happiness!
