These words cannot be said in front of the children.
Wanqing and Wanying responded together, and then they left with their younger siblings.
Looking at the children's backs and then at his mother's serious face, Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu were a little puzzled.
Lin Sanzhu was also puzzled, "Mom, what else is going on?"
Wu's eyes widened, "What's the matter? It's only about you three brothers. By the way, it's the same for you guys too."
As she said that, Mrs. Wu looked at Lin Yuanfeng and Lin Yuansong. When she saw that several people were looking at her, she stopped writing and immediately said, "I'll put it here today. Our family doesn't have concubines in the same room. If If you dare to do such stupid things, I will break your legs and throw you out to beg for food! Do you hear me?"
Mrs. Wu was serious about what she said. In her opinion, even if her family changed its location, it would not change the fact that they used to dig food in the fields. You said that the mud on each leg has not been washed away, so just follow the example of others. Having sex with a concubine is nothing more than a beating.
Lin Sanzhu was about to nod and say he understood, but he suddenly found that when my mother stared at him, her eyes were the most fierce and cruel, as if he had done something bad.
Lin Sanzhu was dissatisfied, "Mom, why are you always staring at me?"
Wu took it for granted, "Whatever you do, our family will only do it when you are running outside."
No one is watching you.
Lin Sanzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, don't worry, my son is not such a person. Besides, if my son really wants to do such a thing, won't it bring shame to our Yuanqiu family?"
Therefore, even if he is beaten to death, he will not do this.
Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu shook their heads repeatedly, "Mom, where are you thinking? Your son is already a father, so how can you have the nerve to do this?"
"That's right, my son and eldest brother are both fathers."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanfeng's heads shook like rattles. Although they had not yet become masters, they still needed to be shameless.
The Zhou family, Liu family, Feng family, and Gao Cui all lowered their heads, but from the side, it could still be seen that the corners of their mouths were grinning almost to the base of their ears.
After the men in the family went to work in the carpentry room again, Mrs. Zhou came forward and said, "Mom, whatever food you want to eat tonight, my daughter-in-law will cook it for you right now!"
Ms. Liu also had a smile on her face and said, "Sister-in-law is helping me chop vegetables!"
"Then I'll light the fire!" Feng said as she rolled up her sleeves.
Seeing the three people smiling at each other with the same enthusiasm, what Wu thought in her heart was that these three sisters-in-law were probably reborn as biological sisters in their previous lives.
…
The carriage that was left in the small mountain village was finally brought over this month with the help of a caravan.
Lin Sanzhu originally wanted to calculate the money and give it to them, but the other party refused to accept it, saying that the carriage was also helping to pull the goods along the way, and it was a matter of mutual benefit. How dare they accept the money.
Lin Sanzhu felt relieved knowing that he had not taken advantage of others in vain.
With a carriage, it will be much easier to do things.
No, the next morning, Lin Yuanfeng and Lin Yuansong went to Zhuangzi to pick persimmons.
This year is the third year that the persimmon trees have been planted. Since the persimmon trees I bought were all large seedlings, the persimmon trees have already grown persimmon fruits, but not many, about twenty per tree. There are about thirty to forty such trees.
Although he didn’t know why he had to pick the persimmon when it was still hard, Zhang Laoshi didn’t ask any more questions. In his opinion, they were the current people and naturally did whatever the master told them to do, so there was no need to ask any questions.
It was almost midnight when all the plucked persimmons were brought to the house.
According to the previous agreement, a dozen baskets of persimmons were moved directly to the carpentry room. Usually, except for Lao Lintou and Lin Dazhu, no one else came here. When making persimmons, they were not afraid of being looked at.
However, for the sake of caution, Mrs. Wu still told the ladies at home not to go to the back garden.
After dinner, the three Lin Dazhu brothers, as well as the Zhou family, Liu family, Feng family, and Lin Yuanfeng, all got together and quickly peeled more than ten baskets of persimmons. Then put them one by one on the bamboo curtain so that they can be taken out to dry tomorrow.
With previous experience in making persimmons, Wu estimated that she could make about a hundred kilograms of persimmons this time.
Wu has already planned the use of these persimmons.
The Chinese New Year will be in another month and a half. Before then, it is natural to send New Year gifts everywhere, so these persimmons I have are just right for giving gifts to people in the distant autumn.
What Wu was thinking was that persimmon cake was the first in the capital, and if her grandson used it as a gift to Shangguan that year, it would be honorable.
Lin Yuanqiu doesn't think so. In his opinion, his family's auspicious Ruyi cakes haven't started selling yet, so naturally the fewer people know about them, the better.
Therefore, except for the Zhong family and the teacher, Lin Yuanqiu had no plans to send persimmons to anyone else.
…
Chuncao and Wang Wenchang moved out in September. The house Lin Sanzhu helped find was not far from Zhou Zixu and Chunyan. It was only separated by an alley.
The reason why they bought them so close was so that the two sisters could take care of them.
Unexpectedly, after living in the new house for less than a month, Chuncao suddenly vomited while having breakfast. At that time, Wang Wenchang was so anxious that he hurried to the hospital and called the doctor.
The old doctor stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, and it felt like beads running on a disk, and the pulse was smooth. This meant he was pregnant.
When Wang Wenchang heard this, his legs went weak. He, he, he was going to be a father.
Immediately, he was so excited that he hurried to Nanluogu Lane and told his father-in-law and mother-in-law the good news.
Therefore, the young couple who had just moved out not long ago were quickly taken home by Lin Sanzhu to live with them.
In Lin Sanzhu's and Feng's view, the son-in-law was still a child himself, so how could he take good care of a pregnant woman, so they had to take their little girl into their care to feel more at ease.
However, only ten days later, the maid Xiaohong came back excitedly to report the lady's pregnancy. This made Lin Sanzhu and Feng extremely happy. They both said that good things come in pairs, and it was indeed the case.
Thinking that the eldest son-in-law usually stayed in the Imperial College, Lin Sanzhu and Feng took the eldest daughter back. With the addition of Chunyan and Chuncao, the house became quite lively for a while.
…
When it comes to who is the most envied object of everyone in the Hanlin Academy now, there is no other person besides Lin Xiuzuan.
No, it has only been half a month since I received the reward last time. Today, the Holy Master was summoned to the palace to lecture on scriptures and history. The Lord in charge actually arranged for Lin Xiuzhan to go there again. This is really unexpected.
Thinking of how Master Yang and Master Hu had been trying to hide away in the past few days, everyone couldn't help but think to themselves, it seems that Lin Xiuzhuan's visits to the palace will increase. Do you envy them or not?
…
Chapter 163 A good son is not afraid of too many
Seeing the envious looks of his colleagues, Lin Yuanqiu felt helpless in his heart. If possible, he would like to change with his colleagues. Whoever wants to go can go. It would be great if he could still stay peacefully in the History Museum. .
It's a pity that he can't do this.
When Lin Yuanqiu passed by this time, he did not take the palace carriage, but rode his own "Hongdou". So that you don’t have to rely on your legs when you come back.
Hongdou is a reddish-brown horse that has been bought for more than three months. Lin Yuanqiu himself is tall, so when buying horses, he specially chooses tall and strong horses. Hongdou is very well-proportioned, with four thick legs, and his smooth mane looks like it has been oiled, looking shiny.
Such horses are not comparable to those used in the academy or during the Imperial Academy's riding and shooting training.
Every time Lin Yuanqiu got on the saddle and sat firmly on Hongdou's back, he was much taller than usual, and the surrounding things were under his overlook. Not to mention, this feeling of having everything in front of his eyes was pretty good. Rusty.
However, no matter how rusty he felt, Lin Yuanqiu did not dare to ride too fast. Instead, he followed Eunuch Jiang's carriage and ran slowly aside.
There are pedestrians coming and going on this street, and it would be bad if you bump into one of them.
Although he was riding on horseback, Lin Yuanqiu's head never stopped spinning from the moment he left the Hanlin Academy. Looking at the speed of Eunuch Jiang's carriage today, Lin Yuanqiu knew that the errand this time was not urgent, otherwise Eunuch Jiang's carriage would have been as fast as last time.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuanqiu felt slightly relaxed, as long as the Holy Master didn't let himself be the "Gong of Zhou" to answer those strange dreams.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuanqiu couldn't help but laugh. Sure enough, people's bottom line is meant to be broken.
Before entering the palace, what I thought was that I could just be a little transparent and peacefully study history. After a frightening face-to-face experience, Lin Yuanqiu was thinking that it would be fine as long as there was no "high challenge".
It has to be said that human beings are always the most adaptable.
Obviously, Lin Yuanqiu's guess was right. This time it was indeed not an urgent business. Because Eunuch Jiang told him to wait at the door of the imperial study room, he went in to pass the message, and then he didn't come out for a long time.
To say it was only a short time is not an exaggeration at all. I had barely graduated from the Hanlin Academy, and now it was almost time to apply. Lin Yuanqiu couldn't help but think to himself, if he hadn't been a young man, ordinary people wouldn't be able to handle a job like this that lasted for more than three hours.
However, Lin Yuanqiu quickly remembered the scene that day. It was also in this position. Bachelor Yang and Bachelor Hu had been kneeling motionless for more than three hours at that time.
Therefore, if I am punished like this, I guarantee that there will be nothing pretentious about it and I will be able to bear everything.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuanqiu hurriedly put back his racing thoughts, and then concentrated his attention, always paying attention to the movements in the imperial study room.
About half an hour later, Lin Yuanqiu heard Emperor Jing Kang's voice ringing in the imperial study: "Let someone come in."
Lin Yuanqiu hurriedly moved his numb legs, and then saw Eunuch Jiang walking out the door and nodding towards him. Lin Yuanqiu did not dare to delay, straightened his official robe, and quickly followed in.
He lowered his head, bowed, and walked forward slowly. When he was about three or four meters away from the imperial case, Lin Yuanqiu knelt down on his knees and said, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty. Long live my emperor!"
Hearing the obviously young voice, Emperor Jingkang raised his head from the memorial. When he saw that it was Lin Yuanqiu, he was stunned. He thought it was Yang Yan who came, so why did he send Lin Xiuzhan here again.
Emperor Jingkang roughly knew what Fang Qingchang meant. He was afraid that if Yang Yan and the others failed to do their job well, they would punish him as well, this old fox.
"Get up!" With that said, Emperor Jing Kang put down the memorial, then took a piece of paper from the imperial desk, wrote a few words with a pen, and handed it over.
Eunuch Jiang took it and handed it to Lin Yuanqiu.
Lin Yuanqiu hurriedly bowed and took it, and then looked at the paper with the words "A small amount of money is worth a lot of money."
You mean, this is the content of scripture and history that Your Majesty wants to hear today, right?
Lin Yuanqiu didn't have time to complain about this kind of "a la carte" lectures. What should he do if he was asked something he didn't know.
At this moment, he began to quickly search for articles about this sentence in his mind. After remembering the article from E Guanzi, he spent the shortest time to read it again, and then combined with the meaning of this sentence, he started He started talking:
"If you have a gourd in the middle, you can fight for a lot of gold, but you would rather have a lead knife..."
Perhaps it was because he had read too many memorials. At this time, Emperor Jing Kang was leaning on the throne with his eyes closed, but the fingers of his right hand were tapping the imperial case lightly, once and for all, as if tapping.
Lin Yuanqiu's lecture continued, "Don't be a mulberry leaf, the roots are intertwined, the sharp weapons are divided, and those who understand current affairs..."
The finger that beat the time stopped, and Emperor Jingkang asked, "A gourd of low price is worth a lot of money. Can Lin Xiuzhuan explain the meaning?"
This is a normal part of the lecture on classics and history. If there is anything unclear to the Holy Spirit, the lecturer must answer it.
Lin Yuanqiu bowed, "It is said that things are cheap only because they are useless. But a ruler is shorter and an inch is longer. Even though the gourd is inedible, its price is also very cheap. But if the boat capsizes in the middle of the river, then A gourd can help people cross the water, and it has the effect of providing a way of life, so naturally a lot of gold will compete for it. Therefore, the humble minister thinks that although humble things may seem mediocre, there are times when a thousand gold coins are hard to achieve."
Emperor Jingkang nodded, "What Lin Xiuzhuan said is very true. A humble person is useless, but he can provide a way for life in times of crisis. It is worth a thousand gold."
Then, he asked, "How many brothers are there in Lin Xiuzhan's family?"
While he was talking about the article, he was asked about personal questions. Fortunately, Lin Yuanqiu had adapted to the Holy Master's jumping questions.
"Your Majesty, Weichen's parents only have one son, Weichen."
Only one son?
This was somewhat beyond Emperor Jingkang's expectation. Nowadays, farmers pay more attention to having more children, and families with only one son are not common except for those who have few children.
