Chapter 1518

"Grandma, it's a long time. My father specially instructed me. I'm afraid I'll be bothered by grandma this year."

"When mother filial piety passed and next year's scholar test began, we returned to Jiangnan to take the test."

"So, grandma, you can say a lot of intimate words later. We have to be filial to you."

Come on, let alone true or false, it's a step.

Jia's mother's face remained unchanged. She successfully turned her crying face into a happy face. She took Lin Zheng and Daiyu and introduced the two aunts behind her again.

For Daiyu, who has been a little prepared for her first visit, she can't feel the truth from her two aunts.

When the two finished worshipping the two aunts and Jia Zhu's sister-in-law together, they saw Jia's mother suddenly say, "please come, girls. Today's distant guests came, so you don't have to go to school."

With this sentence, Lin Zheng, who is about to turn 12, stood up and smiled a little embarrassed, so he had to avoid suspicion.

"Don't be so flustered. You are all relatives of your own family."

"The girl who was born from your uncle's family, the second uncle's family and the legitimate young lady from the Ningguo public family are not outsiders."

It's just a cousin, and the clan sister is far away.

Besides, no matter how relatives are, he is also a foreign man with a surname of Lin and a surname of Jia. If he marries and gets married, he can't talk.

How could Lin Zheng stay here? He got up, bowed his hands and saluted the two aunts. "My nephew has been in the mansion for a long time, so he should go to visit the two aunts."

"I don't know where the eldest uncle and the second uncle are? When the little sisters meet, I really have nothing to say. When I get to the dinner table together in the evening, I'll meet some younger sisters again?"

Seeing Lin Zheng's determination to refuse, Jia's mother just took a skin and pushed off, but she should.

Lin Daiyu felt sorry for Lin Daiyu. She took a pot for his brother and was dragged into her arms by Jia's mother. She kissed him well.

Poor to see.

Thanks to Lin Zheng's simplicity, he walked sideways into the corridor from the main door with his front feet, and three younger sisters and several servant girls followed him into the house.

Several sisters dressed in general only saw a dazzling white back, with a little energy and spirit rarely seen in the Jia family. Looking at their back, they were really a graceful young man.

The three Jia sisters only kept this in mind.

He turned around and began to salute with the new sister of the Lin family.

But when Lin Zheng came to the front yard to see the guests under the guidance of several managers, he found that both his uncles were sitting in the front hall and talking together.

After seeing Lin Zhengren, he also showed one or two likes.

As usual, Jia Zheng asked Lin Zheng about his knowledge: "how are you doing? Do you have plans?"

Lin Zheng returned humbly: "originally planned to end this year, just because his mother suddenly fell ill and cut off his plan to take the exam."

"It just took a year to polish it. In the coming year, I have counted all the three trials of the scholars at one go, and I won't fall into the style of the Lin family."

Jia Zheng was very upset when he said this.

Jia Zhu, a 14-year-old General of his family, had a child test. The nephew of the Lin family said that he was a scholar.

I'm afraid it's not big talk?

The bearded Jia Zheng asked, "can you find the academy? If not, the Jia family school is on the side of the government. If you get up early and return late, you can take care of Jia Baoyu."

Hearing his second uncle's question, Lin Zheng bowed deeply and declined each other's kindness: "thank you for your kindness. When I left Bailu academy, my teacher, the mountain master of Bailu academy, wrote with the mountain master of Yingtian Academy in Kyoto."

"In a few days, I will go to Yingtian college to take an exam. If it's OK, I should study in Yingtian college."

Hearing Jia Zheng here, his eyes opened wide with a swish.

Yingtian academy is a famous university in Beijing.

In addition to those who have places in the Imperial College, the best place to go is this should be the Tianshu Academy.

This is the first choice for the Qingliu aristocratic family in the capital. Unlike Wu Xun, a few go to the Imperial College.

The academy has a prosperous literary style. The great Confucian is in charge and has produced many second-class scholars. Even the top three over the years come from this academy, which is called the second male together with the Bailu Academy in the south of the Yangtze River.

This is Lin Zheng

As soon as Jia Zheng turned his eyes, he came up with an idea: "nephew Lin, I don't know if it's difficult to take the exam in Yingtian Academy. Do you think there's a class where your cousin studies?"

When Jia Zheng said this, Gu Zheng was stunned first, and then smiled unkindly: "there are naturally two uncles. The courses offered by Yingtian academy are similar to those offered by Bailu Academy. I have been studying in Bailu academy since I was three years old. It has been more than eight years since now. Cousin Baoyu has the spirit of prose and poetry. He should go and take the exam early."

That's right!

As soon as Jia Zheng was happy, he arranged it.

As a brother, Lin Zheng took Jia Baoyu with him when he went to the exam. Isn't it a big deal?

Speaking of Jia Baoyu?

Lin Zheng said, "I just don't see my cousin's face. I don't know where he is now?"

Jia amnesty, who had nothing to do, interrupted at this time: "ah? It's time to go to school now?"

"Just in time, let's go to my mother's room to see my poor niece. Since she was born in Jiangnan, others have never seen her."

Hearing what his eldest brother said, Jia Zheng couldn't help it. The three nodded and took a group of people to Jia's mother's place.

As soon as I pushed the door, I heard the joy in the house.

It's Wang Xifeng of Jia Lian's family. She is attracting Daiyu to talk. She says she will go to the second room to meet her uncle.

Because Lin Zheng went first, several people looked at each other and asked someone to help inform him.

The women in this room were stunned and hurried to pick up the inner and outer rooms.

Inside, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang came out and saluted their husbands. It was strange how the two masters were so attentive. At the same time, they heard what they talked about after they met Daiyu.

"That's a good thing!"

After Mrs. Wang heard this, the Buddha's general face couldn't stand the happy look.

As for the childless Mrs. Xing, she only showed great interest in the level of Lin Zhengjin's study.

"I heard you read all kaimeng's poems and books when you were three years old? You're ready to try before you're twelve. You're really a scholar of the Lin family!"

After saying this, his eyes also deliberately looked at Mrs. Wang's place.

Seeing that her sister-in-law's face was distorted, she didn't stop hurting each other's mouth: "your second uncle's brother Zhu is also a scholar. He was tested as a child student at the age of 14 and finally applied to a scholar at the age of 20. It's a pity that his bones are really not sharp, poor..."

When Jia Amnesty's face turned black, Xing Fu stopped talking.

She waved her handkerchief as if she had nothing to do, and turned her head to ask Daiyu for others.

Lin Zheng never thought of such internal dismantling. Even a gentleman like him couldn't help but twist his expression, lower his head and smile.

The atmosphere was really embarrassing. Mrs. Wang, who had lost face, somehow winked at Feng spicy.

After that, Lin Zheng listened to a very tasteless inquiry.

"Have you let go of the monthly money?"

Listening to this, Sister Feng in the room quickly turned out from behind the screen and responded, "let go."

I thought it was over, but Mrs. Wang continued with meaning: "let you find the satin. Have you forgotten? You should take out two to cut clothes for your sister. Don't forget to ask someone to take them again in the evening."

Sister Feng wanted to say something, but Lin Zheng arched her hand at Jia amnesty and paid all the attention to the young man.

The man, who was not generally clear and bright, with a warm smile like the spring breeze in March, said softly: "uncle, just heard the second aunt mention the month in the house, my nephew remembered his father's advice before he left."

"Ink, but Hou is outside the hospital?"

At this sound, a simple and incomparable voice followed: "young master, I'm here."

"Well, call the housekeeper of the Lin family, let my uncle have a look, and bring in the boxes outside the house!"

The ink painting who got the order moved quickly. He just said, but for a moment he commanded the Lin family's boys to carry four heavy boxes to the old Tai Jun's outer room.

The sisters and sisters of a large family were all surprised by the sound outside the screen.

But he was frightened by what the cousin named Lin Zheng said outside.

"Uncle, I've heard that you are an elegant man. You'd better play antiques. I'm afraid you've been collecting good things in the capital for a long time. Therefore, in my father's name, I collected many good things from the south of the Yangtze River and sent them to my uncle."

"You see, this set of silk pinched and hollowed out gold-plated sandalwood fans is the hand carving of Chen Wenbin, a great craftsman of the previous dynasty. After putting six pieces together, they turned into a group picture of flowers, birds and landscapes, which is the peak work of the great craftsman of the previous dynasty."

"Look here again. Although the vermilion pottery is produced in Persia, it is the treasure of the ancient golden country."

"If my uncle likes these, the sword will naturally be given to the hero!"

This gift made Jia amnesty open his mouth on the spot. He didn't care about the opportunities between the women. He just thought that his nephew was pleasing to the eye.

Compared with Jia Baoyu's nephew who looks at him like dirt, he is still close to the nephew of the Lin family.

After Jia amnesty is settled, Jia Zheng can't let go.

What an artful person wants most is to use this set of things to improve his own value.

Lin Zheng didn't even spend a penny of his own money. He just asked several old gentlemen in the White Deer academy to draw some pictures and scribble a few words for him, which made uncle Jia Zheng intoxicated.

As for the wives of the Xing family and the Wang family?

Lin Zheng smiled even more.

He took ten five hundred taels of cash and silver notes from Guiyuan bank in the capital out of the box and put them in front of Mrs. Wang.

"Second aunt, my father said, my brother and sister went to their grandparents' house. They were originally visiting young masters and young ladies. We can't talk too much."

"We took fifty-six servants and maids from the forest house on this trip. We took all the silver, food and clothing expenses from the book of the forest house in January."

"But even so, so many of us will inevitably cause improper losses if we stay in the house temporarily. I hope my second aunt will forgive me and give me the silver consumed by the fire in advance."

"As for the gifts and money for filial piety to our ancestors, we had sent someone to give them in advance before we arrived."

Speaking of this, Lin Zheng raised his voice again and said to the screen like a treasure offering: "ancestor, did you use the hundred year old ginseng your father sent you last time and the antler of the head deer collected from ural?"

"Afraid that your birthday is not lively enough, he specially sent cold coral from Bohai Bay!"

When the Jia's mother sitting in the inner hall heard these objects she had never heard of, her face twitched.

If these young people were not there, I'm afraid the lion head crutch in her hand would be crushed by her hand.

Originally, when Lin Zheng took out another 5000 liang of silver, Mrs. Wang's face was happy. However, when Gu Zheng blurted out the gift from Yangzhou a few days ago, she immediately turned her face.

She looked into the screen with a guilty conscience, but was blocked by the hazy knitting and embroidery.

Just when Mrs. Wang was going to make up for it and wanted to say something about Lin Zheng.

The boy with extremely strong jumping has now talked about other people's gifts.

"Oh, by the way, I've heard about several sisters at home. I brought gifts."

"I don't know what people like, so I bought three of what my sister likes."

"As for the brothers of the same generation at home, they all have their own gifts."

"Ink painting, the gifts of brothers will be sent to each family by you, Sister Feng, right? You and brother Lian belong to the same family, and naturally deserve double share!"

Wang Xifeng smiled happily. Just now he admired the boy's sharp mouth. Now he feels that he doesn't look like a teenager.

She glanced at her aunt, an unspeakable excitement made her say yes, and turned around and asked someone to push in the gift box made by her sisters.

There are many sets of jewelry, which are the most popular samples for young girls in Jiangnan.

Elegant but not luxurious. Even the ladies of xungui's family have never seen good things.

As for the men's things, there is no one who favors one over the other. Jia Baoyu's things are no different from those of Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Lan and others who are far away from the family.

This made Li Wan, who was watching nearby, feel a little more grateful.

People's psychology is so subtle.

This matter is on the surface, and the Lin family are really generous. Even the most thoughtful Jia mother in her heart can't say that Lin Zheng is not right.

Probably because of this awkward grandson, the old man didn't even feel the last bit of reunion.

He was a little tired and asked the servant girls to send them out.

But when Wang Xifeng left the inner room, he seemed to remember something. He turned and asked, "ancestor, where can you arrange these two lovely people?"

Jia Mu Gang, who had some plans, wanted to ask people to pick up the Bi gauze cabinet behind her and let Lin Daiyu live in her Rongqing hall. However, she saw Lin Zheng's smiling expression. Her tongue rolled in her mouth and said a different residence.

"And clean up the pear incense yard. There are many of them. It is bright and bright. All of them can live down."

Hearing Jia's mother say so, both Mrs. Wang and Lin Zheng were relieved.

The Lixiang courtyard is a little away from Anqing hall. Her precious son Jia Baoyu now lives in the green gauze cabinet behind Jia's mother.

As a result, the Lin family's daughter's mind will not be on her son.

Because of Lin Zheng's interruptions, Mrs. Wang had thought for a long time about Jia Baoyu's nonsense like a mixed devil. Before she could say it, the Lin family hurried to the pear fragrance yard.

They said they should clean up quickly so that they would not be delayed by such a small matter when the ancestors ordered dinner.

It seems that it is not necessarily who dislikes who.

Let Mrs. Wang's voice stick in her throat. It can't go up or down.

It's a pity that she hasn't lost her temper yet. After the people dispersed, she was left alone in the room by Jia's mother.

The old ancestor didn't even shy away from the big servant girl next to him. He sprayed Mrs. Wang on her face.

"What the Lin grandson said is true?"

"Have I ever asked you about the gift?"

"Unexpectedly, that's how you manage this house?"

Looking at Mrs. Wang, who wanted to say more, the Jia mother's crutch was heavy on the ground: "don't tell me it's fengjiaozi's negligence, old woman, I'm not confused!"

"I won't pursue this matter, but you have to send someone to return what my grandson said."

"I'm afraid you don't know. Lin Ruhai's private letter has been sent to me a few days ago. His list is more detailed than what the child said."

"Don't lose the integrity of the housekeeper's wife, or my ancestors will ask the head of your Wang family about his daughter's upbringing."

Mrs. Wang shuddered when she said this.

Since the birth of Baoyu, what she hadn't felt for a long time belonged to Shi laotaijun. At this moment, it reappeared in her mind.

Let her just rise a bit of idea, immediately fell back, at this time Mrs. Wang said in a low voice: "yes!"

When you withdraw from the house timidly, where is the original style.

Only half an hour later, Lin Zheng sent him out to inquire about the situation in the house. By the way, he contacted people everywhere. The emotional study sent the news of Mrs. Wang's eating and hanging to the inside of Lixiang hospital.
