He Chirang: "You see all the guests carrying swords? Don't do this in the future."
"I know, I know."
If it weren't for the fact that he had too many acquaintances and that he was too old to be embarrassed, Lin Xi would have rolled on the ground in protest.
Why! Why!
You're not ready yet, why is your brother here? !
The author has something to say:
He Chirang:?
Ta Xue: You have today too!
Lin Xi:......
Chapter 23
◎It shouldn’t be difficult to get the rank of Jinshi◎
"Let me take my brother to see the yard where you live." Lin Xi thought for a while and then said, "How can a bowl of Yangchun noodles be enough? I'll let the kitchen make whatever you want to eat. Otherwise, I will take my brother to Qionglou for dinner? "
"No need to bother, I'm not hungry, I'm very happy to see Maomao safe and sound." After a pause, he added, "I live in the Tanzhou Alliance Hall, you can go find me there."
The past ten years since Emperor Zhou ascended the throne have been prosperous, with an endless stream of businessmen from the north and south.
It has become a common practice for various states and governments to set up guild halls in the capital and form private alliances to help each other.
Not only businessmen who come to the capital to do business, but also students who come to the capital to take exams can stay here at a very low cost.
Students from average families can also afford it.
The club's fees are cheap because there are wealthy businessmen behind it. Not only because of the friendship with fellow villagers, if one day his son can ascend to the Emperor's Hall, it will be of great benefit to the guild and the fellow villagers.
The guild hall in Tanzhou is in the south of the city. Although it is a bit remote, it is quiet.
He Chirang ranked first in both the government examination, the provincial examination, and the general examination. He was not an unknown person.
Not only did the guild hall not accept his money, Tanzhou businessmen doing business in the capital also wanted to form a good relationship with him.
Lin Xi: "You are not allowed to go to the guild hall. Lin Yan and I are the only ones living in the entire Duke's Mansion. It's not like we don't have room! You are my brother, not someone else!"
Taxue said with a smile: "Yes, the young lady has always missed the young master. If the young master lives in the Duke's mansion, he can always take care of her."
The emphasis is on the word "care".
Lin Xi: "Lin Yan is currently studying at the Capital Academy. His mind is not very flexible. You can teach him after you live here."
She only asked Lin Yan to report to the academy every day and not to cause trouble.
As for how well I learned my lessons, I never asked.
After all, her own knowledge is average, but she is not illiterate.
"Okay." He Chirang heard what they said and didn't refuse any more.
He and Maomao hadn't seen each other for so long, and he wanted to see her every day.
Maomao is Lin Xi’s nickname, simply because she had a great body and a lot of hair when she was young.
Their father was busy with official duties every day, and their mother left early.
Lin Xi's hair was always combed by He Chirang. He often thought that his sister also had too much hair and it took a long time to sort it out every time.
The name of Zheng'er Ba Jing is He Zhixing.
This was taken seriously when he taught his sister how to read when she was eight years old.
I hope that her knowledge and practice will be unified throughout her life.
After all, at that time, he discovered that his sister was compared with other children of the same age.
It's a little bit different.
Cuter, but also more like a little devil.
Lin Xi happily pulled her brother to see the yard she had prepared earlier.
The ornaments on the bookshelf have been changed several times.
They are all left over after she carefully selected them, and they are both elegant and valuable.
She only spends money on people she cares about.
There is a window in front of the desk, which not only provides good lighting, but when you are tired of reading at night, you can open the window and see the moon and the small pond.
He Chirang looked around and saw that this was a yard that had been carefully prepared.
My heart is inevitably moved.
He Chirang will always remember the day he received the news that his sister had died in battle a few months ago.
On that day, it seemed as if all my previous persistence didn’t count.
His sister is gone, and he has no family in this world.
From then on, I was alone, and all the excitement in the world had nothing to do with me.
He locked himself in his room and folded many paper ingots.
My heart was empty and I couldn't cry. I just thought about burning it for my sister. Each one was folded beautifully and plumply.
After stacking the small mountain of ingots, he began to write the sacrificial inscription.
One article a day, ten articles were written.
She is the best sister, but she is not a good brother. In the end, he failed to protect her.
He remembered that his sister had made mistakes in the past and he punished her by reciting the laws of the Zhou Dynasty.
The little girl looked at the sky with a look of disobedience and anger, saying that the laws were only to restrain the common people from committing crimes.
Those noble lords will not follow it. When I get to the Yamen in the future, I won't be left to the officials' arbitrary interpretations.
He touched his sister's head, smiled and said no, because he would get the title and become an official.
He will be a reasonable and upright official. As long as the sister does not break the law, the brother and sister will be safe throughout their lives.
All those plans came to nothing, my sister is no longer here.
Or die for him.
He Chirang has always been strict with himself because his sister is so smart.
If he makes a mistake, his sister will definitely take advantage of him and imitate him even harder.
He can't teach the other party with confidence.
His sister who joined the army for him will not come back, everything is meaningless.
It was as if a needle had been inserted into my heart, and breathing would cause a lingering pain.
The unfairness of the world has shaken his persistence.
If it could save his sister's safety, he would do anything.
He Chirang locked himself at home for a month, never going out or interacting with anyone.
Other candidates were lamenting that he had suffered such a big blow and probably would not even take the exam.
I didn't expect him to go, even though he lost a lot of weight.
When the results came out, to everyone's expectation, he came first in the exam.
Everyone admired his tenacity.
He Chirang wavered, but in the end he insisted that his true intention remained unchanged.
Don't flatter the world, don't follow the trend, be aware of shame and be magnanimous.
Even if his sister is gone, he wants to pass the exam and become an official, so that there will be fewer children like their brothers and sisters.
I also want to erect a monument for my sister.
Nearly two months later, news came back from Lin Xi.
God has mercy, it turns out she is not dead. It wasn't until that moment that He Chirang shed tears for the first time and cried alone.
He always felt guilty. It was always because he didn't do well enough that his sister was in danger.
Similar to being timid about being close to home, he never set off for the capital.
Until I noticed that the letter from the Duke's Mansion was getting more and more fishy.
The letter was peaceful and quiet, but that was why it was abnormal!
I can't care about anything else anymore, I just want to see people as soon as possible.
He Chirang knew that if he asked people in the Duke's mansion, they might not tell the truth.
When he arrived in the capital, he first went to a tea shop and noodle shop.
The news heard from these places, combined with the knowledge of the Duke's Mansion, can basically restore the general outline of the matter.
Don't ask why he is so skilled, he just has experience.
Who gave him a sister who was capable of getting into trouble, dared to get into trouble, and was also very clever.
His sister is currently discussing marriage and will be getting married soon...
He Chirang: "You said in your letter that you have someone you like and you want to get married to him. Is this true?"
Lin Xi: "Of course this is true. Brother, do you want to meet him? This is what I picked out after thousands of selections!"
"..."
Forget it, now that his sister is safe and sound, he should not be too harsh.
He Chirang thought for a while and said, "Be a decent person and treat you sincerely."
Lin Xi: "I know!"
