Chapter 170 Homecoming

Here, Lin Yanchao also devoted himself to his career and took into account both...

In the afternoon, Lin Yanchao lived while reading and writing.

After the time of the day, Lin Yanchao often went out, strolled around the river when he had nothing to do, and went out to do business when he had something to do.

I often go to the bookstore in front of the Fuxue Academy to see if there are any new collections of essays or other useful books, or go to Weng Zhengchun, who lives in the Fuxue Academy to talk about his reading experience, or make friends or something.

During this period, I also took time to go to Jianyang Bookstore outside the city to find Manager Qin.

Manager Qin was very enthusiastic about Lin Yanchao because Lin Yanchao told him that he would be publishing books in his bookstore next year.

Manager Qin agreed with it. The collection of essays and poems of scholars who were the first in the palace and the second in the college entrance examination were actually quite good in the palace. Especially when the college entrance examination just ended, if the provincial examination failed, it would feel like he had finished his talents, and it would be difficult to sell it in the second year.

However, if Lin Yanchao was a Juren, he would become famous, and his masterpiece would be the same as the best-selling in the foreign palace.

Manager Qin did not know that Lin Yanchao was not selling the same collection of essays and poems, but instead kept urging him to try his best to write it before the provincial examination next year. However, after listening to Manager Qin's suggestion, Lin Yanchao would not plan to speed up the progress. He had his own steps, and haste would not be able to achieve it.

No matter how long he goes out in the afternoon, Lin Yanchao will rush home before the Xu hour, and then try not to go out in the evening.

Before the Xu hour, eat dinner early, try to eat less, light and vegetarian food. Usually, eat a bowl of corn porridge and a plate of dishes.

This is also the tradition of modern people to nourish themselves and diet. Those who eat midnight snacks are the most unhealthy. But in ancient famous scholars, they practice this way.

After dinner, Lin Yanchao copied the copybook for half an hour, and then relaxed at this time and read some books he wanted to read. If he went out to work hard during the day and had not finished his homework, he would put it to work at night.

One day, one day, and never delay until the second day.

After reading the book and completing homework, Lin Yanchao tried to go to bed at the hour of Hai. He went to bed early and got up early and was in good health.

Lin Yanchao followed this routine of studying, studying, and exploring the current literature, and could not tell at the moment.

There are inevitably times when Lin Yanchao will pick up Lin Yan and give it to himself, "Last night, the spring waters of the river were born, and the giant ship was light. It has always been useless to move, and the flow of the flow is free to move around this day.' To blame himself for not seeking results in studying.

However, after studying so behind closed doors for a month, Lin Yanchao felt that there were fewer and fewer times when he couldn't calm down.

Confucianism says that quietness can produce wisdom, Buddhism says that quietness can enlightenment, Taoism says that quietness can lead to the right path, and ancient people who encounter great things must have calmness.

Where does calmness come from? Cultivate one's self-cultivation and character cultivation come from.

However, it is good to cultivate one's own self-cultivation and study. If this continues, it will be a corrupt scholar who "stood for one's heart and mind, and will die in danger and repay the king." However, before the provincial examination, you can read and study according to this method. It is still very efficient. If you do not pass the imperial examination, you will not even be qualified to "repay the king when one's death and repay the king when one's death".

As for family affairs, it was also very peaceful.

Grandpa and uncle returned to their hometown, the abbot rebuilt the ancestral hall, and put his "Scholar's Plaque" on the clan ancestral hall with the side of the scholar's father. As for the first one in Hongshan Village, it is probably also the first "Scholar's Archway" in Houguan County, and it is also in the making.

One day after the clan ancestral hall was rebuilt, Lin Yanchao also returned to his hometown.

For ancient people who were very concerned about the clan, rebuilding the clan ancestral hall was definitely a big deal.

This is no different from that of modern people. For grandpa and uncle, they are still proud of their countryside, and have never regarded themselves as urban people just because they moved their homes to the city.

On this day, the family hired a black-panned boat, and the whole family dressed neatly and boarded the boat and returned home together. This was a return home in glory.

The water journey was very fast, and soon the Wupeng boat rowed to the fishing boat dock outside the embankment of his hometown.

The people who are moored here are the Lianjia boats of the Han people.

But before the boat reached the shore, even the boat was moved away, and the villagers in the village gathered on the dock.

The eldest uncle immediately stood at the bow of the boat with his head held high and said to Lin Yanchao: "They are all here to see you, and the second scholar in this village."

Lin Yanchao is familiar with the villagers on weekdays and greets them a lot in the village, but today they are all restrained when they see them.

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that he was old and the villagers were not as good as they went over to meet him, so he touched his head and made a mess. Secondly, he was his identity as a scholar, and he was already considered decent in their eyes.

Lin Yanchao still saluted the clan leader and the elderly in the village according to the rules.

Then there is the re-built ceremony of the ancestral hall.

During the sacrifice, Lin Yanchao realized that his Lin family was quite prominent.

There is a folk proverb in Fujian, "Chen Lin is half the world, and Huang Zheng is full of streets." It means that the four surnames in Fujian are the most common, and the two surnames in Chen Lin account for nearly half of central Fujian.

There are several branches of the Lin family now, such as the Wenfenglin where Lin Zexu was born, and it is still unknown. The most famous one in the Ming Dynasty was the Lianpu Lin family, who was the eight Jinshi and the five Shangshu, called Donglin.

After Lianpulin, it is Shuixilin, and Lin Yanchao's branch comes from Shuixilin.

Shuixilin and Lianpulin are both powerful imperial examination families. I won’t mention the glorious history of the past. Now there are three Jinshis, and they are three generations of grandparents.

One is Lin Chunze, who was born in the 16th year of Chenghua and became the Jinshi in the ninth year of Zhengde. In the Wanli year, the emperor ascended the throne. The governor of Fujian gave the archway to the "Six Dynasties Da Laofang" to the Xilin family in Shuixi, which is about the old man who actually experienced the Six Dynasties Emperors. Now Lin Chunze is nearly a hundred years old and lives in Nanyu's home. He is considered a real person.

Below Lin Chunze is his son Lin Yingliang and his grandson Lin Ruchu, two Jinshi, both of whom were officials in court.

However, the Zong family is so prominent that Hongshan Village is much more humid than it. The Lin family of Hongshan Village has been separated from the Shuixilin branch for several years. It was originally a concubine and has never been able to perform in the imperial examinations. Not only did there be a single scholar in several generations, but even a scholar had one ten years ago.

After several generations, I felt that I was too shameless compared to the clan family, and I was really embarrassed to come to recognize my relatives. Both sides gradually became weak. However, during the Shuixilin clan festival, I would invite one or two people from Hongshan Village to prepare the genealogy. When I was preparing the genealogy, I would send someone to ask you how many people you were, and I would also write your name on it.

As for the rest, there is no closer relationship.

Now Lin Yanchao has won the second place in the college entrance examination, and finally feels like "I, Hongshan Lin, stand up from now on." Therefore, this time he handled it and also informed the Zong family.
Chapter completed!
