In fact, who is not clueless?
Lin Yuanqiu was certain that if he could make a choice, he would rather immerse himself in the history museum than have his heart tighten every time he faced the Holy Emperor.
…
Everyone has a mentality of avoiding disaster. If they know that the future will be a quagmire, they will definitely turn around and find another way.
The same goes for Lin Yuanqiu. When he chose an official career, although he didn't expect to be a high-ranking official and enjoy all the glory, he also came to live a stable life. How could he put himself and his family at risk?
Therefore, Lin Yuanqiu was ready to think carefully about whether to release it to the outside world.
Back at Nanluogu Lane, Lin Yuanqiu asked Ping An to put on the New Year gifts again, and then went to his father-in-law's house with Zhong Yurou.
Lin Yuanbai was driving the carriage today. In fact, Ping An had also learned how to drive a carriage. But from last night to now, the snow has not stopped falling in the sky. Although the amount of snow is not heavy, there is already a lot of snow on the ground. Lin Yuanbai is naturally worried about letting Ping An, a newbie, drive the car.
Seeing that his son-in-law's cousin was about to drive away after unloading the New Year's gifts, Zhong Rong stepped forward and grabbed him, "I mean, my fourth uncle, you are so disrespectful. You're already at the door of your house, and you don't even have tea." Come in and have a drink.”
It was almost dinner time now. If he went into the house to drink tea, he would probably stay for dinner.
Lin Yuanbai had the nerve to stay at his siblings' parents' house for dinner. He said hurriedly, "Uncle, you are too polite. When I went out just now, my nephew had already agreed with his family that he would go back for lunch. How about we wait until the next time when the nephew comes over? Come inside and have tea."
With that said, Lin Yuanbai was about to withdraw his hand.
But when it came to the arm in Zhong Rong's hand, it was so easy to pull it back.
No, with just a slight exertion, Lin Yuanbai was pulled all the way from the courtyard gate to the hall. After sitting down, Zhong Rong smiled and said, "Drink tea first, then eat. We are all relatives, so we can't see each other outside."
At this time, Lin Yuanbai could only nod. Also, Uncle Zhong is indeed a man with great skills. His hands are really strong.
Yesterday, Ping An, who was next to her son-in-law, came over to tell the time, and the dishes for her daughter and son-in-law were arranged here. Knowing that her son-in-law loved fish, Mrs. Zhou even sent someone to buy a four-pound big silver carp and told the cook Mom, it must be braised in brown sauce.
As for how Zhou knew that her son-in-law loved fish, of course it was Zhou Xing who told his sister.
In Zhou Xing's opinion, if his sister and brother-in-law got such a good son-in-law, they must treat them well. What's more, if you treat your son-in-law well, your daughter will only benefit.
Having known each other for so many years, Zhou Xing naturally knew Yuan Qiu's temperament. In his opinion, Yuan Qiu is a good boy who will treat you better if you treat him well.
Zhong Jinan and Zhong Jinhua were not at home at this time.
Lin Yuanqiu knew what was going on. As the New Year was approaching, patrols were stepped up everywhere in the capital, including at the city gate.
Therefore, in the past few days, Zhong Jinan and Zhong Jinhua have spent twice as much time guarding their posts as usual.
On such a freezing day, it was extremely cold to stay on the tower, let alone for several hours in a row.
In fact, Lin Yuanqiu quite admired his father-in-law's conduct.
It stands to reason that as long as the income from the division of the uncle's house is well managed, it will definitely be no problem to maintain the family's livelihood. But his father-in-law decided to go to the frontier in order to give his children a better future.
But now, the two uncles have actually become guards of a small city tower, and they are not embarrassed because they are the grandsons of Uncle Zhongyong.
It could be said that Lin Yuanqiu admired the calmness of his father-in-law and uncles alone.
Indeed, in life, how can you live your life in the eyes of others? As long as you have a clear conscience, whatever you want to do and how you should do it are all your own business.
The cook's cooking skills are very impressive. First, fry the fish pieces piece by piece in oil, then sauté the ginger and garlic until fragrant, then add water, cover the pot and simmer for a while. When the soup dries up, you can put it in the pot. Bowl.
Lin Yuanqiu ate two bowls of rice with this fragrant braised fish fillet, which made Zhong Rongle squint.
Zhong Rong thought to himself that he would have to ask his wife to give the reward to the cook later.
Because he had not yet made up his mind, Lin Yuanqiu did not mention the release to his family. But when he went to bed at night, he asked his wife, "Yu Rou, after the three years are over, how about your husband going away to live?"
Released outside?
Zhong Yurou was stunned for a moment, why did he mention the matter of being released to the outside so well?
However, Zhong Yurou also knew that her husband must have a reason for saying this, so she replied, "Rou'er doesn't understand the officialdom matters. Anyway, Rou'er has already thought about it since the day she married her husband. It is said that when you marry a chicken, you will follow a dog, so no matter where your husband goes, Rou'er will definitely follow him."
As soon as he heard that he had become a chicken or a dog, Lin Yuanqiu stretched out his hand to scratch the itch of the person next to him, "Tell me, Rou'er, whether your husband is a chicken or a dog."
Zhong Yurou was the most ticklish, and she burst into laughter when she was tickled. She quickly begged for mercy, "Rou'er is wrong. Rou'er is wrong. My husband is a horse, a thousand-mile horse..."
…
I originally thought that I would not be able to think clearly until after the new year at least as to whether I should let it go out.
But when Lin Yuanqiu went on duty the next day, he saw several people of the same age gathered together, all talking about the release. It turned out that Ding Dejin and Zhang Qingyuan had already sent the request for release to Fangzhangyuan yesterday.
The reason why Lin Yuanqiu was surprised was because the two of them didn't show the slightest sign of wanting to go out.
Thinking of what the teacher said to me yesterday, I also thought of Ding Dejin's grandfather and father's service in the court, and Zhang Qingyuan's father-in-law, who was the young minister of Taichang Temple.
Lin Yuanqiu thought to himself that these two people's sudden request to be released was most likely because they wanted to stay away from the place of right and wrong.
So, it's time to make your own decision.
When he got home at the next shift, Lin Yuanqiu went to find Lin Sanzhu first. Naturally, he had nothing to hide from his father. Lin Yuanqiu quickly told what happened in the court recently, including what the teacher said to him yesterday, and even Because he often visited the palace, he aroused the jealousy of his colleagues, and Lin Yuanqiu was not left behind.
Lin Sanzhu didn't come back to his senses for a long time after hearing this. Seeing his dog's brisk steps and relaxed eyes every day, he always thought that this job was very comfortable.
I didn't expect those people to be jealous of his dog even though he had no ability.
Bah, how shameless.
Lin Sanzhu made a decision quickly. Although he didn't understand government affairs, he had heard of how ferocious the princes were in fighting for the throne. "Gouzi, listen to your teacher, let's just leave it alone. Mr. Qin has been an official for many years." , he must know more than us, so listen to him for sure, don’t let the gods fight and the little devils suffer.”
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! Lin Sanzhu reached out and slapped himself in the mouth, "Bah, my dog is not a brat!"
…
The Lin family is still the same as before. All major family matters will be discussed together as a family.
So after the father and son quickly went to Lao Lin's first room, after a while, Lin Dazhu, Lin Erzhu, Lin Yuanfeng and the others, as well as the female relatives of the family who had gathered to do embroidery work, were all called over.
Even Zhou Zixu and Wang Wenchang were not left behind.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Mrs. Wu asked her mother-in-law and maids to retreat.
At this time, Wu and Lao Lintou's hearts were still pounding.
Just now, Lin Yuanqiu did not hide anything and directly told his grandma what he had said to Lin Sanzhu.
Old Lintou immediately understood the meaning of these words. He had the same idea as Lin Sanzhu and was very much in favor of being released to the outside world. There is no helper, so we should listen to Mr. Qin and leave it alone. When this storm passes, it will be the same when we return to Beijing."
"Your master is right!" Wu nodded repeatedly.
Then she spoke again, "Yuanqiu, as long as we know what Mr. Qin said, the rest of the family will not tell them."
"Yeah!"
Old Lintou also said hastily, "Master Qin said these heartfelt words for the good of our family. We can't harm others."
Although he trusts his children, Old Lintou also knows that there are many people and many people talk, so be careful and you will never make a big mistake.
Lin Yuanqiu nodded. He had always been aware of his grandpa's wisdom. When it comes to big things, my grandparents have never been confused.
The sudden plan to expand overseas left everyone confused.
Only Zhong Yurou was not surprised because his husband told him about it last night.
Although the teacher's words cannot be shared with everyone, there is no problem in analyzing the current situation between North Korea and China for family members.
Lin Yuanqiu told what happened recently, including the exile of He Shangshu and Li Yushi.
These words made Lin Dazhu, Lin Erzhu, Lin Yuanfeng and the others, as well as all the female relatives at home, become nervous.
Lin Yuanbai couldn't help but said, "On the day when the guilty minister was exiled, my third brother and I also went to take a look. The old and young were all tied into a long string with hemp ropes. There were about one or two hundred people."
Lin Yuanhuai nodded, "Those escorting officers still have whips in their hands. I think those prisoners may have a difficult life."
If you don't walk fast on the road, the thin whip may fall on you.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou was the first to express her position, "Yuanqiu, I still say the same thing, I will do whatever you ask me to do, it all depends on you!"
"Yes, Yuan Qiu, uncle means the same thing. I will listen to you."
Lin Erzhu and Mrs. Liu said in unison, "Our second wife also listens to Yuan Qiu."
Later, Lin Yuanfeng, Lin Yuansong, Lin Yuanhuai and Lin Yuanbai, as well as Gao Cui, Qin Hehua, Wang Yunxiang and Ding Ju all said what they meant, "Yuan Qiu, you can do whatever you want!"
And when this scene fell into Zhong Yurou's eyes, a sentence that her father often said popped up in her head: "Brothers who work together can break gold."
No, this should be "the whole family works together to cut off the wealth".
Seeing that the family members were ready to go out with him, Lin Yuanqiu smiled and said, "Master, grandma, and grandson have already made plans. If it is to go out, only grandson and Yurou will leave Beijing to take up their posts, and the others will still stay." In the capital."
Lin Sanzhu gave up after hearing this, "No, dad will definitely follow Gouzi!"
Well, when I was anxious, I actually called out "gouzi".
The same goes for Feng, "Mother will follow the dog too."
Dog?
Zhong Yurou was stunned, and soon she remembered that she was "tacked on" by her husband last night because she said, "Marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog."
Old Lintou and Wu were naturally worried about their grandson being released. Being an official is different from studying abroad before. I always feel that I can rest assured when I am by my side.
Lin Yuanqiu was helpless, thinking that there was still nearly a year before the release, and it would not be too late to talk about this then.
However, Lin Yuanqiu planned to write the excerpt requested for release tonight and then send it to the director of the hospital early tomorrow morning.
According to the teacher's instructions, according to the normal procedure, the vacancies for outposted officials must be arranged on a first-come, first-served basis.
As for the abnormal process, it depends on your strength and background. If you have all these, finding a good job will naturally not be a problem.

Chapter 176 Collection of Paintings from Sibaozhai
When Lin Yuanqiu handed the invitation sheet to Fang Zhangyuan, Fang Zhangyuan was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.
Lin Xiuzan actually asked for external release. He heard it right.
Speaking of which, who in the Hanlin Academy does not envy Lin Xiuzuan for being favored by the Holy Emperor?
In Fang Zhangyuan's view, if Lin Xiuzuan can maintain such a good momentum, then there is a possibility of being promoted to one or even two levels after the three-year period is over.
With such a great prospect, I didn't expect that Lin Xiuzhan would hire an outsider.
So, is this person stupid?
