Chapter 75 Ji Meng?
Since then, Lin Nan has been staying in Jingbei Bo Mansion. Every day, he is talking to his grandmother except for studying, as if nothing has happened. Although the people from all over the Lin Mansion have not said anything, Lin Nan could still find that the atmosphere around him has become a little dull. The most obvious one is his cousin Lin Shou. He used to not meet without meeting, but now he sees his figure every few days. Even if he smiles every time, he will definitely not say good things. If it were in the past, Lin Nan would have taught him a lesson like a tinge, but this time he didn't do that.
My aunt's body has always been poor and she often can't eat. Although the maids around her were attentive and the doctors in the pharmacy invited several, they had not improved much. They all said that it was caused by worry and anxiety, but the prescription was not very effective. Recently, the masters of the mansion have been careful in their work and try to speak quietly as much as possible to avoid making the mistress angry. Lin Nan was even more careful. He often visited Lin Shou and tried to endure the rumors about Lin Shou as much as possible.
Since childhood, Lin Nan has been a little over his age. After living in the palace for five years, he now thinks much more than his peers. Lin Fu and Lin Shou may not think much about things, but Lin Nan is different. Not only is he meticulous, but he also gradually begins to mature.
Although the Lin family now explicitly said that there are many descendants and a prosperous scene, at this time, Lin Wen had not returned from guarding the border in the north of the frontier, Lin Wu took office in the south of Han, and Lin He had only one Lin De in the south of the house. But this youngest son was not a big shot, and even in some aspects, even Lin Fu was not as good as Lin Fu. Therefore, during this period, only a few men in the family could go out to do business and solve their problems for adults.
At this time, several people had grown up one after another. Lin Fu and Lin Shou were about to start a family and set up a house, and Lin Nan was already fifteen years old. But at this moment, it was the time when they were tightening their joints. Because the provincial examination was not over, the main task of several people was to calmly recite the books and prepare for the big exam. In this case, if there was one less thing in the mansion, one less thing was to do. All the people should try to calm down and respond to the matter as much as possible, and then talk about this part first...
Lin Nan didn't go anywhere during this period. Occasionally, in addition to fisting with his younger brother Lin Zhi, he was studying in the garden of Meng Master Shen Xiu. Originally, Lin Nan was worried that Meng Master would be unhappy with his job loss, but who knew that Shen Xiu didn't take it seriously at all. Thinking about it, his teacher was talented and never gained fame, so he would not take it seriously by just studying with a companion. Meng Master's only request was to make himself upright in the Golden List High School...
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the day of the results has finally arrived.
According to the system of establishing the dynasty, one month after the provincial examination, choose a good day and the results will be released at the time of Mao. The locations of each province are different, but most of them choose to set up signs in front of the long gate at the entrance of the Gongyuan. On the day of the announcement, special personnel will post list notices.
Although the results were released at the Mao hour, someone arrived early and waited in the second hour of Yin hour. Anyone who had participated in the big exam also got up early and had finished washing up. The rich people wore the already prepared clothes, and the poor scholars wore clean long gowns to welcome the clerks who reported the good news.
The Lin Mansion was even more lively. When it was still in the late ugly times, the people in the mansion started to set up and arrange the services. The male began to open wells to pick up water and fill several large jars for daytime use. The manager ordered the servants to clean the hall and courtyard and clean up spotlessly. The female family began to pull red silk, accumulate large flowers, cut ribbon paper, and prepare offerings for pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks. Although these things were prepared a few days ago, they now had to start putting in the pot and putting them in the trunk. Just waiting for good news to come, they were going to serve on the dining table on the table...
Everyone was busy in the front yard, and the back yard was gradually moving. The old lady Zhao was old and was sitting up in her clothes. Hongyu heard the sound in the outer room and hurried over to serve her. "Old lady, it's still early, so let's sleep a little longer?" Zhao sat on the kang with her clothes on her back, and didn't say anything for a long time. It was already autumn and winter, and it was very cold at night. Hongyu was afraid that the old lady would catch a cold, so she quickly rolled up the quilt to surround the old lady, but suddenly found that the old lady's forehead was covered with fine sweat. Hongyu was shocked and quickly took out a veil to wipe the old lady, and asked while wiping: "Old lady, are you... hot? Why are you sweating on this end..."
The old lady still didn't say anything, and her throat rumbling, but she still didn't open her eyes. Hongyu looked at it carefully again, and after some thought, she closed the door and turned around and asked in a deep voice: "Old lady, are you... dreaming?"
"Well..." The old lady seemed to be still glaring and responded vaguely. After a while, Zhao finally opened her eyes, wiped her forehead with a veil, and let out a long breath.
"Old lady..." Hongyu felt a little nervous when she saw this, because she had never seen her look like she had been nightmares in the past few years.
The old lady looked at Hongyu, smiled comfortably, and said, "It's okay, don't worry. Go and get some hot water for me!" Seeing Hongyu going out, the old lady's smile faded, but she was still wrapped in a quilt and didn't get out of bed. After thinking about it, she greeted outside: "Go to the eldest daughter-in-law and see if she gets up. If she gets up, she will say that my old lady will go over later."
In the east courtyard, although Zhou was in poor health, he got up early today. Looking at the big days on the list, it was almost the same as the New Year in the scholar's house. Moreover, the two sons were dragons or snakes, so I knew it today, and Zhou was also very worried.
Lin Fu and Lin Shou had already gotten up. Both of them changed into new clothes and cleaned their heads and faces. Xia brought a few maids around to help clean up. In the past, Lin Shou had been impatient, but today he was very patient and had a bit of brilliance. Xia looked left and right, with a happy look on his face: "It's strange, today the two young masters are blushing today. Sister, you are also very good today. It's not that my sister pleases you to talk to you. These are all great signs! Today, the three young masters in our mansion went out and told me that at least there must be two high school students, hahaha!"
"The aunt's words are true. Our two young masters are handsome. With this outfit, they look like a ready-made juren!" The maid next to him also made fun of him. Seeing the girls around him talking auspicious words, Zhou couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I know you are good at talking, so don't behave like me. Tell the butler that everyone is busy today, no matter how big or small, everyone has a reward!" This sentence caused cheers around, and the auspicious words were even more smooth.
Zhou looked at his two sons. Although they were not biological children, they really liked them. He said through the atmosphere: "It's okay, I really had a good dream last night."
"Oh? Sister, did you have a dream?" After hearing this, Xia quickly stopped the work in her hand, came over to sit down, and asked anxiously.
Zhou nodded: "Well, I dreamed that I was walking in the garden..." Zhou looked into the distance, as if he had entered a dream: "It seems like I was back in the dream more than ten years ago. There was no one else in the garden. There was snow around it, which was nearly one foot thick... It was just a small road. I walked and walked, and I was on the edge of the courtyard wall..." Zhou stopped and thought for a while, and then said: "There is someone else's house on the other side of the courtyard wall, but strangely, there is a door open by the wall and the end of our garden. I was about to go over, and suddenly I saw a piece of flowers and plants sticking out from the wall, blooming very brightly..."
"Ah? It's blooming? What kind of flower is it?" Xia asked hurriedly.
Zhou shook his head in confusion: "It's like a peony, but it's not. It's red in color, so I can't call it... Then I walked past the door and arrived at the yard there. But somehow, the higher I walked, the higher I got. After a few steps, my foot was on the wall, and my body was light, as if I was stepping on a pile of cotton... At this moment, I saw that many flowers in the yard below were blooming, colorful... I bent down and wanted to pick two flowers, but after bent down, it seemed that someone behind me pulled me, and no matter how hard I could reach the flower, I couldn't reach the flower. I turned around and reached out and found that it was a piece of silk that was entangled with me. I looked carefully. The red silk was covered with golden threads, and I was embroidered with no idea what kind of flowers were, and I shining with golden light..."
"Oh!" As soon as Zhou finished speaking, Xia and the maids around him were amazed, and they both said it was a good dream. Lin Fu and Lin Shou heard it next to him, and they were also ecstatic. In the dream, we met a handful of red silk and carried golden light. No matter who heard it, we knew that this was a great omen! Besides, this dream was not done early or late, but it was done the night before the list was released. What else should be done in this matter? Therefore, Lin Fu and Lin Shou were all happy, standing among the crowd and looking around. Lin Shou even raised his hand to get enough, and his expression seemed to be a juren...
With this kind of rush, time passed quickly, and it was the fourth moment of Yin. Zhou looked at the time and said to Lin Fulinshou: "It's almost done. Be careful when going out. Today's results are released. There are many people and cars on the street, so be careful in everything. Even if there is a bump, don't argue with others. Come back safely and safely is serious..."
Xia said from the side: "What my sister said is that they are all adults, so you should know these things. It's time, I guess Young Master Tang should have been ready, why haven't you come here yet?"
"It doesn't matter if you can't come here. Go out and prepare the car. You three will go back together. If you have any news, please come back soon."
