The steward of the Lin family saw a lot and had a wide range of knowledge. He only ordered two people to hang the firecrackers they had bought a few days ago with a long pole, which crackled and burned a good time.

The people at the door did not disperse, but watched the excitement.

Several small children, wearing a red wreckage, looked for one or two complete fish that had escaped the net.

When several plates of firecrackers were finished, a man in blue and black steward clothes came to the front door.

Holding a brass plate with a shallow stomach, it was full of bright copper coins.

The eyes of those people began to shine.

At the next moment, the steward really opened his voice and threw money.

"Congratulations to my young master, who has won the name of jieyuanlang in the capital."

"Those who see have a share. Everyone is happy!"

"Wow!"

A handful of copper coins were scattered by the steward, which made everyone cry and hold them in the sky.

The Lin mansion is really generous.

The pot of copper money was sprinkled three or four times, and even the several-year-old villain carried three or four pieces in his arms. Then the steward standing aside arched his hands, listened to everyone's auspicious words, and cleaned up the front door.

What a coincidence.

The boy sent by the old prince of the Jia family got a red seal at the gate. Then he secretly followed the man and grabbed a handful of copper money. Only then did he speed up a few steps and rush to the Jia family to ask for another reward from the Anqing hall.

"Congratulations to Lao Taijun, the grandson of the Lin family, who won the first place in the provincial examination in Gyeonggi."

"Counting the small three yuan in front, the young master of the Lin family is already in his senior year."

"If you think about it again, it's worth even six yuan."

The Jia mother liked to listen to auspicious words. When Lin Zheng passed in the evening, she was a heart and soul in front of everyone.

Jia Zheng, sitting in the outer room, envied Lin Ruhai.

Then compare Jia Baoyu, who is shivering like a quail.

Jia Zheng's heart is even more flustered.

Lin Zheng is only two or three years away from him, but he still looks like a little child.

When others were twelve, it was safe for scholars to try.

But what about your son?

Thinking of his eldest son who died early, Jia Zheng's eyes were slightly red.

I had to talk to Gu Zuo. He asked about the follow-up exam.

Hearing the elders' inquiry, Lin Zheng put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hands.

"I should try this year. There are not many opportunities to win six yuan."

"But?" Jia Zheng didn't know what his psychology was. He wanted to persuade him: "will the examiner want to press you because you are too young?"

Hearing this, Lin Zheng smiled.

"Young talents have existed in all dynasties. Now it is the heyday of good weather. It is a good thing to have me as a young model."

"If I get the first place, the Imperial Academy is the only choice. I've polished it for six years. When I come out, it's a good scenery of 20."

"Even the son of heaven is willing to give me this honor."

"As long as the article is really good, meaningful and old-fashioned, my nephew feels that even the middle six yuan can be thought of."

That's ambitious.

Choked on the spot, Jia Zheng couldn't even speak. He had to smile, turn around and slap Jia Baoyu on the back.

"Look at your brother's ambition. I'll go to my study to test your homework tonight."

Hearing that Jia Baoyu almost knocked over the dishes and chopsticks, Lin Zheng was so happy that he quickly lowered his head.

Dead Taoist friends don't die poor. Did you know that studying hard can also pit Jia Baoyu in disguise?

He must go to the hospital examination that year.

This year was a calm year for Jia family, but it was a year of strong winds and waves for Lin family.

Without him, as Lin Zheng said at the banquet, he went directly to the next hospital examination.

He was just like a hanging up. He charmed all the examiners of this session with his rather old and spicy articles.

When the ranking came out and the name column was opened, no one thought it was done by a 14-year-old boy.

Five yuan in a row, Huiyuan also fell into Gu Zheng's hands.

But one day, such a great talent name spread to the whole capital.

In this exam, Gu Zheng's article was also handed to the emperor's desk.

It was amazing to see the case, but at the same time, the emperor's family turned out the situation in Lin Ruhai's home.

"Only fourteen years old. You can have it."

The eunuch on one side was a kind reminder: "the Lin family belongs to noble."

The emperor wanwang raised his hand. Don't choose a princess to spoil such a good family. If you are rejected by such a clean stream in the name of not clinging to powerful people?

Don't want the emperor's old face.

Listen to the emperor's sigh.

How good men are in such families.

If Lin Zheng can't be kissed, isn't there still Lin Ruhai?

After turning his eyes, the emperor suddenly thought of a family in the imperial clan who was about to lose their heirs.

It seems that the emperor hasn't produced five clothes yet. She is the princess Zhuyang personally granted by the imperial court.

Because he was widowed when he was young, he never had children, but in his double ten years, he had a pure heart and few desires.

Isn't it right for this family to match Lin Ruhai?

The identity difference between the two is not much. Lin Ruhai has already achieved the high position of secondary assistance. Naturally, he has no fear of clinging to dignitaries. By the way, he can make the Lin family closer to the royal family. It is a good thing to kill three birds with one stone.

The emperor who smashed his mouth, moved his mouth and conveyed the oral instruction.

After asking Princess Zhuyang's joy and getting a positive answer, the palace exam has not started yet. Instead, the purpose of paper marriage was sent to Lin Ruhai in advance.

"This!"

Lin Ruhai can't cry or laugh.

I'm very happy to live alone. I don't think the eunuch is in a hurry. The emperor is in a hurry.

This shows that the emperor attaches great importance to Lin Zheng.

Lin Ruhai, who stroked his beard, is not worried about Gu Zheng's palace test at all.

Regardless of whether the emperor's majesty is out of consideration of face or compensation, his son can't run away from the top three.

Looking at the strength of appreciation, maybe he will really become the youngest six yuan and No. 1 scholar in this dynasty.

To say that Lin Ruhai is old and strong, what he is looking for is really right.

He had just received a letter from the emperor about marriage, and the results of the imperial examination came out.

The No. 1 scholar this time is his son, a young man under the age of 15.

As soon as the man came out of the gate of the Imperial Palace, the list was spread to the homes of all officials in Kyoto.

The people who rushed to the door of Lin's house to report the good news, the people who came to congratulate on the news, and the people lying around, rushed to the gate of Lin's house with joy.

So crowded that Gu Zheng had to sneak through the corner door of his home.

They were so happy in Lin's house that Daiyu, who had been waiting for news from her brother in Jia's house, could not forget.

When the steward of the Lin family told the young lady the good news outside the door, Lin Daiyu grabbed a handful of small beads like rice from the makeup box. When he saw that everyone had a share, he gave them to the people below one by one.

Let the servants in the Jia family stay in the Lixiang hospital to serve praise.

Everyone knows that Miss Lin is generous. When her brother won Jieyuan, she gave her a big red envelope.

Who would have thought that as soon as the palace examination was over, there were not only silver money but also gifts.

This kind of good thing can be pinched with silver wire and made into a pendant or hairpin.

Of course, even if she was so happy, Lin Daiyu didn't forget to tell the ancestors in the Jia family.

The Lixiang courtyard, divided into two groups, received two different treatments at Jia's mother's house and Jia's uncle's house.

This Shi laotaijun, that is, Jia Mu, is sincere joy.

In her opinion, the better Lin Zheng did in the exam, the more he won face for the Jia family.

The more promising his future is, the more he can help the Jia family in the future.

As for the two uncles sitting together waiting for news?

Jia amnesty laughed and said he wanted to give Lin Zheng his best set of fans. At least he will be an official in the future, but he can't lose his identity.

As for the most related second uncle, he twitched his face twice and showed a bitter smile.

It is said that Jia Zheng is the best at reading, but now he is a shady five grade official. In fact, he has no fame.

And his son Jia Baoyu... Let's not say it.

Depressed Jia Zheng naturally wilted.

When the two families got together again in the evening, Lin Zheng saw that Jia Baoyu came limping.

How many times is this?

Because he beat Lin Zheng?

He's a little embarrassed. It's all like this. He can only continue to dig holes, preferably for a lifetime.

During the dinner, the atmosphere was really lively. Wang Xifeng made jokes and brought her sisters to drink a toast to Lin Zheng.

I thought I couldn't beat the Lin family boy in learning. I always wanted to make up for it in eating and drinking. Who would think that Lin Zheng didn't know how to live? It's like a thousand cups can't fall down.

Just like the characters who can drink two cups of chicken chili, they all drink powdered peach blossoms, and Lin Zheng opposite is still calm.

He smiled and sent Daiyu back to Lixiang hospital. He watched a group of Lauries scatter. Don't mention how hard he was.

"Oh, my brother of the Lin family, is he particularly proud?"

"People say that there are four joys in life, when it comes to the top of the golden list."

"I said, nothing. Are you comfortable with our sisters?"

Wang Xifeng said this before she left. She tilted her Danfeng peach eyebrows and took a charming breath. She smiled and glared at the young man who made her eat shriveled everywhere. She wanted to make fun of him. When she came back to the house again, it was always flat with her dream, But at this time, he came out of the small corridor of the side door.

"Grandma, why don't you have a look?"

Hearing Wang Xifeng frown, they went to the front porch to avoid others.

Standing outside the courtyard, Lin Zheng tilted his head and smiled. He didn't know what he regretted. He turned and covered the gate.

Without the last obstacle, Wang Xifeng met Ping'er.

"What are you doing in a hurry? What's worth your expression?"

Wang Xifeng's wine strength hasn't passed yet, and she is naturally impatient with Ping'er.

But when Ping'er said the man's name, Wang Xifeng began to sneer.

"What sweet smell dare Xiao miss me Wang Xifeng?"

"Didn't he eat enough last time? Call some people over, this... That..."

After a whisper of advice, the Ping'er repeatedly said yes, and followed Wang Xifeng to the direction of the lane between the two houses.

When the two men walked clean, Lin Zheng, who was close to the door, picked his eyebrows.

Jarry, this is really a coward.

Even Lin Zheng didn't dare to do it. Even Wang xifengming's dark sign, he hid far away.

A side branch of the Jia family, who has settled down in the same family, dare Xiao Xiangfeng spicy?

Isn't Qing waiting to lose his life?

It didn't come out of Lin Zheng's expectation.

When he went from the cross horse parade of the new No. 1 scholar to the final selection of officials in the Imperial Academy, he vaguely heard that Jia Rui had been frozen for several nights. I'm afraid it's bad news right away.

Originally, he wanted to bring the wind moon mirror to have a look.

He always felt that they were called the wind and moon, and maybe they had something to do with the previous world.

Who would have thought that before Lin Zheng started, a decree broke the tranquility of the Lin and Jia families.

This is the emperor's wedding will, which was sent directly to Lin's house.

They also made people correct the eight characters, chose the day, and announced the purpose after everything was ready.

The Jia family was caught off guard.

When Jia's mother heard who the woman Lin Ruhai continued to marry, she couldn't even say anything against it.

Who dares to pick the trouble of the royal family, even if she is the Xun GUI of the four kings and eight princes.

This marriage gives you wealth, just in the autumn of the next year.

I can see a burst of sobs in Lin Zheng's heart.

Because it happened that Daiyu was in her early ten and under eleven.

If it is in the timeline of the original book of a dream of Red Mansions, it is when Lin Ruhai is seriously ill and asks Daiyu to return to Yangzhou.

Because he incited Lin Zheng's small wings, but gave Lin Ruhai a relatively safe life.

I don't know whether Lin Ruhai's life and death in the red chamber can be changed after being related to the royal family.

It won't be as powerless as Jia Min, his mother in this life.

It still needs time to test.

Thinking of Lin Zheng here, he was very calm. He honestly went to the Imperial Academy and started from revising documents and sorting out materials that others were unwilling to do.

Suddenly immersed in the ocean of books and the busyness of the workplace.

His behavior completely won the favor of the group of old scholars who still stayed in the Academy.

This outsider with a noble name and a top-level family background doesn't look arrogant at all.

What a gentle and simple young man.

It can stand polishing and sink down. Such a good reputation is passed down by word of mouth, but it is of great benefit to Lin Zheng.

No, when Lin Ruhai got married as scheduled and received Lin Zheng and Lin Daiyu to the house to meet his new mother, the very outstanding Princess Zhuyang couldn't help looking up at Lin Zheng.

It is full of expectations for Lin Ruhai's family style and education level.

When I talked about the two children of the Lin family with my mother, I was also full of appreciation.

Seeing that the golden princess finally found a good home, the Royal nun was really happy for her young lady.

When they closed the door and talked, they couldn't help looking forward to the future life.

"My princess will have such a considerate child in the future."

"They have a big annual difference with the eldest brother and sister of the Lin family. They will be the most painful child of the Lin family."

"I look at these two of the Lin family, but they can accommodate people."

"Miss, you're really happy after all your hard work."

Looking into the dressing mirror at the princess who took care of her hair by mammy herself, I thought of her handsome and graceful Xianggong Lang, who thought she was cold and lonely.

A touch of red appeared on the face without color, which really made the beauty once famous in Kyoto return to her youthful appearance.

"Well, Mammy, I'll get along well with my husband. I'll be kind to his children, too."

"After all, I'm not a cardamom girl. I know all those things."

"I just hope my husband treats me like I treat him. I can do it for the Lin family and take care of the housework without asking for anyone else."

Speaking of this, Princess Zhuyang showed a smile like a little daughter.

Let Lin Zheng, standing outside with Lin Daiyu and Lin Ruhai eavesdropping, wink at them.

When they were led to the bamboo forest on one side of the main house, Lin Zheng smiled narrowly.

"Congratulations, Dad. You've found such a good confidant."

"Daiyu and I are very happy."

Listening to Lin Ruhai's old face, he hung up and stared at his eyes. "Go! What a big man! There's no real shape. Don't teach your sister!"

"It seems that I should go to your mother and see people for you."

"Find a powerful daughter-in-law and control you!"

Lin Zheng hurriedly begged for mercy, took Lin Daiyu and ran towards their own courtyard to give this beautiful gathering to Lin Ruhai, who is still cultivating feelings, to get along with Princess Zhuyang.

When the brother and sister ran away, Lin Daiyu pulled Lin Zheng's sleeve and stopped him.

Anyway, Lin Daiyu always has to ask.

"Brother, aren't you uncomfortable?"

Why is it awkward?

Isn't it because the family has a new hostess and he has a new mother who is not related by blood with Lin Daiyu?

Lin Zheng, who suddenly understood Lin Daiyu's worries, smiled and touched Lin Daiyu, who was about to enter cardamom, and explained in detail why the family needed a mother.

"Daiyu, I know you have been smart since childhood and have the closest relationship with your mother. You must be reluctant to give up her."

"But, sister, one day we will grow up and leave this warm little home like an eagle."

"But at that time, what about our father? How poor he will be. He will face the empty house and sleep in the lonely big bed. His heart will not be cold enough to survive the winter."

"Our father is too young. Do you have the heart to spend the next 20 or even 30 years alone?"

"He also needs a partner who can accompany him all his life. This is exactly what we can't do for our children."

"In addition, regardless of his father's mental and physical health, his father's continuation is necessary, whether in public or private."

"Everyone who has a daughter in the family knows that there are five people who don't marry a daughter-in-law. Women who go against the family don't marry, women who mess with the family don't marry, people who punish people don't marry, people who have bad diseases don't marry, and the eldest daughter who has lost a wife doesn't marry."

"And sister, you are facing the eldest daughter of the bereaved woman."

"If your father doesn't get a wife all the time, you won't be able to return home all day. Your grandmother went earlier than your mother. It's easy for me to say that I'm a man's house, but you'll always live in your grandfather's house."

"How sad it is for my father and me to have a family and can't afford to get together."

"Besides, my father is far away in the south of the Yangtze River. He is alone and in great danger. He doesn't marry for self-protection."

"But now, for our sake, he has been transferred back to the capital. Officials, secondary families, a widower who has lost his wife, even his colleagues will not see it."

"Finally, our father is a close Minister of the son of heaven. The loyalty that the royal family cares about most is reflected in this finger marriage."

"If you want a person to be completely obedient and loyal, there is no more reassuring way than to let him become his own person."

"And Princess Zhuyang, if my guess is right, she must be from the emperor's school."

"If you marry my Lin family, you can only contribute to my Lin family. You can never harm us."

"Even for the royal face, you and my brother and sister will only live better!"

After that, Lin Zheng rubbed the two claws that Daiyu had just combed in the morning into a ball. When Lin Daiyu hit angrily with her backhand, he jumped aside.

But he said something more out of tune: "so, you, my brother and sister are the direct beneficiaries."

"My brother, the woman I married, suddenly raised a file, and your marriage must be non rich and expensive. The young talents in the capital let their sister choose."

"Ha ha!"

With that, Lin Zheng, who knew that Lin Daiyu was going to hit people, ran fast, leaving only Daiyu alone, with the shame of the snow geese stamping their feet.

She could not catch up with her brother, but she also had some hope for her future.

At least it's not as nervous as it was at first. After all, it's down-to-earth.

This day gradually became regular. In Lin Zheng's counting days with his fingers, he spent the year safely.

Their family also suddenly had one more person from the beginning, which was a little strange and polite. Now, after running in, they can say a few intimate words.

What makes Lin Zheng most satisfied is that his stepmother, although she has an extremely high status, is that when they get along with the children left by their two ex-wives, she is appropriate and gentle.

She can not only arrange the top and bottom of the Lin house in order, but also be very gentle and considerate to her husband Lin Ruhai. She has no charming and extravagant spirit of the royal clan. She is really a proper person.

Because of this kindness, Lin Daiyu, who was also a kind person, was close to the stepmother in the boos and greetings again and again.

In the dialogue with Lin Zheng, there are more and more words of appreciation for this woman.
