There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 114 Father Lin: This matter is extremely ridiculous

Mrs. Chen was very happy and spent a full quarter of an hour recounting what had just happened in the lobby of the county government office.

After hearing this, Tang Shuwan pondered for a long time, her beautiful eyes suddenly glowed with brilliance, and she murmured:
"Last night, Yingzhou City was destroyed. Princess Lanling escaped with her life because of her brother, and then Her Royal Highness captured the governor of Yingzhou."

"But I didn't want to find out the secret letter of colluding with the Liao people in the governor's home..."

"The Zhou Ji Office came to Leshou County today, firstly to pick up Brother Shi from Yingzhou, and secondly to arrest Liu Ziyun..."

"Liu Ziyun was caught and could not escape death, but I finally got rid of his entanglement!"

"..."

At this point, Tang Shuwan's sadness suddenly disappeared, her face was full of smile, she grabbed Mrs. Chen's hand and said excitedly:
"Mother, my daughter finally doesn't have to be pestered by Liu Ziyun. My daughter is finally clean!"

Mrs. Chen was also happy and said with a smile:
"Yes, I don't like Liu Ziyun for my mother. Now the Liu family is finished, and my good daughter is finally free!"

The two mothers and daughters were happy for a while, and then Tang Shuwan said again:
"This is all because of Brother Shi!"

"If Brother Shi hadn't found out that someone was plotting to kill the Princess, it would have been impossible for my daughter to get rid of Liu Ziyun's entanglement!"

"..."

at the same time.

To the east of Leshou County, Lin Mansion.

Lin Chuan's father, who is slightly round in stature, wearing a melon cap and a member's uniform, is sitting in the living room drinking tea, with an angry but also hopeful look on his face.

There is also a middle-aged lady in the living room, who is dignified and elegant. She is Lin Chuan's mother.

Father Lin and Mother Lin sat together, chatting about their precious son Lin Chuan.

"That bastard is so lawless that he actually played hooky from the county school today, and then took the twenty or thirty young servants in the house to help his poor classmate fight!"

"..."

Father Lin became angry when he mentioned this matter.

Mother Lin hurriedly handed over a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Relieve your anger."

"I can't get rid of the anger in my heart." Even so, Father Lin still took the tea cup and took a sip, "You are the one who spoiled Lin Chuan, that bastard!"

"For such a big man, he only wants to eat, drink, and have fun all day long, and has no intention of making progress... That's fine, but he still befriends a poor scholar like Su Xian!"

"Hey..." Father Lin sighed, and said: "Although we are the sons and daughters of the Lin family, we are still a big family, but that bastard is lucky..."

"..."

Lin's mother was not in a hurry, and after listening to her husband's complaints, she smiled and said:

"I believe that my son will have a great future. You can only do some business in your life. But my son will be a high official in the future!"

"Be an official? Or be a high official?" Lin's father sneered, "He is so badass that he still wants to be a high official! Not to mention studying the scriptures and meanings carefully, he will pass the imperial examination and come back as a Jinshi in the future."

"You should at least make friends with some of the children of high-ranking officials in Beijing, right?"

"But look, what kind of person did that bastard make friends with? A down-and-out little scholar... Such a person won't help him at all and is just a waste of time."

"..."

Faced with Lin's father's complaints, Lin's mother remained unmoved and finally said:
"I believe that Chuan'er will definitely have a great future in the future, at least better than you, the father."

"Just continue to spoil him! Sooner or later, all the family fortune I have earned will be lost to you two!"

Father Lin sneered.

Just as he was talking, a boy ran into the living room, bowed and said: "The person who gave the gift to Zhou Ji's office is back."

"came back!"

Father Lin immediately stood up, the look of anticipation on his face grew stronger, and he asked with a smile:
"How's it going? Did Zhou Ji's office accept it? That's the jade seed material that I spent a lot of money to buy, and hired skilled craftsmen to polish it carefully for seventy-seven and 49 days to create a 'jade mountain'!"

"According to the estimate of Lao Zhang of the antique shop, this 'Jade Mountain' is worth at least three to forty thousand taels. It is so valuable that it is enough to show my sincerity. I believe the Zhou Ji Office should accept it, right?"

"..."

Although Lin's father is a branch of the Lin family, a wealthy family, he is good at doing business, so he is in charge of all the Lin family's properties in Yingzhou and has a certain say in the family.

Although the aristocratic family has declined, the Centipede Insect is still alive. In the eyes of outsiders, they are still the group of people standing at the top.

But my family knows my own affairs.

Today's aristocratic families are getting worse and worse. Among the entire Lin family, even the head of the family is already a marginal figure in the court.

Not to mention that Father Lin, who only had a certain say in the family, was beyond the reach of the central figure in the court.

Although the Zhou Ji Office is an official of Princess Lanling's Mansion, it is only of the sixth rank.

However, because Princess Lanling was in power and stood at the center of the court's power, the status of the sixth-rank official Zhou Ji's office also increased.

This time, the Zhou Ji Office finally came to Leshou County, which gave Father Lin the hope of making friends.

So there was the scene just now.

That "Jade Mountain" was built by Lin's father with a lot of effort. It can be said that it is the only one in the world. I think Zhou Ji's office will definitely like it when he sees it.

Father Lin was sitting in the living room drinking tea, actually waiting for news about the success of the gift.

Facing Father Lin's eagerly smiling face, the boy lowered his head and murmured for a long time before saying:
"Zhou Ji's Office...he...he didn't accept it!"

boom!
Father Lin's round body froze, as if he had been struck by thunder, and he stood there motionless.

After a long while, he asked mechanically: "Confiscated... confiscated?"

The boy lowered his head and said, "Yes, Zhou Ji's office didn't accept it... At that time, Zhou Ji's office seemed to be talking to a disciple wearing a Confucian shirt and had no time to talk to the little people."

"The little people shouted for permission, but were pushed aside by the guards..."

"The young ones were unwilling to give in. They blocked the road and tore off the silk covering the 'Jade Mountain', hoping that Zhou Ji's office could take a look."

"But... Zhou Ji office only glanced at it, and then he rode away..."

"..."

After shooing away the boy, Father Lin returned to his chair and sat down slumped, his face turned dark and ugly.

The "Jade Mountain", which is worth three to four thousand taels and is unique in the world, didn't even take a look, and just rode away...

This was a huge blow to Father Lin.

Mother Lin was waiting for a few words of comfort when someone outside the hall suddenly shouted: "The young master is back!"

Mother Lin immediately left her husband behind, stood up and walked out the door... After a moment, she smiled and pulled Lin Chuan, who was somewhat absent-minded, back to the living room.

"Are you back?" Father Lin glanced at Lin Chuan, his face still dark.

"came back."

"Win the fight?"

"There was no fight..." Lin Chuan looked strange. He was a little absent-minded. He looked up at his father and said slowly: "I didn't help Brother Su!"

"Oh, you shouldn't go!"

Father Lin was angry at Zhou Ji's office and was ready to get it back from Lin Chuan.

However, just as he was about to lecture Lin Chuan, he heard Lin Chuan say:
"At the most critical moment, Zhou Ji's Office came. Not only did he save Brother Su, he also very politely invited Brother Su to Yingzhou..."

"what!?"

Father Lin stood up suddenly, with a round face that was extremely serious, and a pair of eyes that seemed to emit two beams of light. He stared at Lin Chuan and asked word by word:
"What did you say? The Zhou Ji Office saved him and invited him to Yingzhou very politely?"

At this time, Lin's father couldn't help but think of the boy's report just now.

It was said that Zhou Ji's office ignored the gift he sent in order to talk to a man wearing a Confucian shirt... Could it be that the man wearing a Confucian shirt was Su Xian?

impossible!

Father Lin felt an extremely ridiculous feeling in his heart.
