Chapter Nineteen Homecoming

In the afternoon, there was no wind in the society.

Since Lin Chengyi resigned as a tutor a few days ago, there has been less supervision, and the students have lost their enthusiasm for studying hard during the past afternoon. They have all hid in a cool place under the banyan tree in the backyard.

The weather was unbearable, and the students simply refused to be decent as scholars. They stripped the long-sleeved and long-gown student shirt and put on the pants. Several students brought loose tea and tea from their homes and made a large tea jar. The tea was soaked in water, but it was not as good as a few people to drink it. It was already light and tasteless, but now everyone can only borrow tea to cool off, which is better than nothing.

Fortunately, the longan tree at the entrance of the village was full of fruits. It was secretly beaten by a few naughty school children and got several hangs. The students ate it to satisfy their cravings, and the longan cores they spit out accumulated and smashed the dogs, which was also very fun.

The students were left unwilling to study because of the heat of summer.

Lin Yanchao sat under the shade of the banyan tree, looking at the university chapters given to him by Lin Chengyi seriously.

Lin Yanchao didn't have to say anything, but his classmates brought a bowl of dried tea.

The cicada cried out and was very noisy. Lin Yanchao read a little while and his mouth was dry. He just picked up a big bowl of tea, drank a few big sips, spit out tea residue, and breathed a long breath, but he felt that the heat had subsided a little.

Half of the bowl of tea was gone, and someone immediately filled it up. When the people around him saw Lin Yanchao being idle, they immediately came over to ask for advice with a thousand-character text.

After answering the question, the classmates who were listening to him looked at him, but they became more and more respectful. As soon as Lin Chengyi left, he almost became half a teacher in the society. Compared to Zhang Guihe, who looked down on others when he was still, and his classmates liked to ask the approachable Lin Yanchao for advice.

Speaking of the commander, Lin Yanchao remembered Lin Chengyi.

Next month, this Mengshi will be in the college entrance examination. Lin Yanchao is expected to be a matter of Chinese style. After all, he is already a disciple of Hu Tixue. According to the hidden rules in the officialdom, Lin Chengyi should not be difficult for Chinese style.

When talking about the agreement, as a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, if you want to be in the system, your relationship and context should not be ignored. Here, you are teachers and students, two are the same year, and three are fellow villagers.

Among teachers and students, the teacher is the most important. The teacher is the leader in the officialdom. If Hu Tixue takes the abbot exam, all the admitted students will be Hu Tixue's disciples. The agreement that the disciples have not yet taken the exam, but the two have already decided the teacher-student relationship first.

In the college examination, whether to recruit the examiner depends on his own likes and dislikes. When Hu Ti learns to Lin Chengyi's test paper, he only needs to take a look at his name. As long as the article is not too outrageous, the following is a formality.

Similarly, Lin Yanchao is now half a student of Hu Ti’s agreement, but he must pass the county test first, the government test two levels. Speaking of the county test, it is the first level of the mistress, and the county magistrate is under the control of the county magistrate. Lin Yanchao thought of the magistrate Zhou, who had a black face and was mean. If such a person wants to open the joints, he should not think about it.

At the moment, only hard work is hard. Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao put down the tea bowl and was about to continue working hard, when someone outside said, "Yanchao!"

Lin Yanchao stood up and looked at it. It turned out that it was Mr. Zhang who smiled and said, "Tell you a good news. The matter of the Martyrs' Temple has been completed."

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this.

Zhang Zongjia smiled and said, "It was the supervisor who personally took care of him. The county government did not dare to neglect him and did not want us to use money. I just happened to have an old house with the county government office, so I asked someone to inquire and issue the documents for free and free labor. I also sent it to me."

Lin Yanchao still accepted General Zhang's love and immediately accepted the document and said, "It's still a blessing for General Jia, I don't know how to thank him."

Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "Where, where, I have to thank you. Don't forget to give me some support in the future. My incompetent son is."

When Mr. Zhang said this, Zhang Haoyuan was immediately blinded. Lin Yanchao said: "Mr. Haoyuan, Brother Haoyuan is very talented and well-educated. I will only have a day in the Thousand Characters text, but I will be able to support each other in the future."

After hearing what Lin Yanchao said, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang Haoyuan were both very helpful. Mr. Zhang continued to say to his son: "Look at Yanchao, you have a good attitude when speaking, so you have to learn more."

Zhang Haoyuan lowered his head helplessly again, and Lin Yanchao couldn't say anything else. Mr. Zhang smiled and praised Lin Yanchao for a while before leaving.

After receiving the document of exemption from labor service, Lin Yanchao felt confident. At that time, the eldest lady's family, Xie Lichang, would be distributing some miscellaneous labor service, and the Lin family would not be afraid. He had planned ahead before just to prevent the Xie family from doing this.

"Haoyuan, Zhongshu, I will go home and take a look tomorrow." Lin Yanchao said.

Zhang Haoyuan said, "Don't, I just happened to ask Brother Yanchao for his studies in the past few days."

Shu Hou Zhong said: "Yanchao, you are leaving, who will accompany me to play? No, who will accompany me to study."

Even Mr. Zhang, who was walking to the corner of the door and eavesdropping, shook his head and thought that after Lin Yanchao left, these students would not have the perseverance of learning for too long and would soon become lazy.

But when Lin Yanchao saw him, he said seriously: "You still say this, study for yourself or others? Can't you study without me?"

Hearing Lin Yanchao's speech was so stern, both of them were not easy to answer. Lin Yanchao's tone slowed down a little and said, "I want to take the exam for the future. You are all my friends. I hope to go to the list with you and become a co-doer in the future. Wouldn't it be great? If there is a gap, I don't mind in my heart, don't you mind in your heart?"

After hearing what Lin Yanchao said, Zhang Haoyuan and Hou Zhongshu were both solemn. Even Mr. Zhang also praised him in his heart that this boy was really not an ordinary person. Not only did he recommend his husband in front of Hu Tixue, he also did not forget to support his classmates and friends. I asked Haoyuan to make friends with this kid. It seems that this move was the right move.

Zhang Haoyuan said with shame: "Thank you, Brother Yanchao, for this tip."

Hou Zhongshu said: "Brother Chao, why are you doing so fiercely? I just study hard."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "That's fine."

The next day, several school children also left school and returned home to play, preparing to wait for the new tutor to come. After being stimulated by Lin Yanchao's words, Zhang Haoyuan and Hou Zhongshu stayed in the society and worked hard to achieve success.

In the house, Lin Yanchao packed his luggage, put his clothes layer by layer under his luggage, wrapped them, used ointment oil for lighting the lamp, and a few wolf-haired pens, then put the books he wanted to read into the book basket to pack, put them in the luggage, and then walked out of the social school gate.

It was still early, and the villagers in Zhangcuo couldn't help but talk when they saw Lin Yanchao.

"Isn't this a great master and a chosen prodigy?"

"Although I am young, my future is limitless. The boy from my family studied with him, but he didn't learn anything from him."

Along the way, the villagers they met also greeted them, and Lin Yanchao also gave him a gift.

When he reached the entrance of the village, Lin Yanchao looked at the tall Jinshi archway for a long time. It took only ten days to go there, but his situation was getting better step by step.

After walking for more than ten miles of mountain road, I had been walking for more than an hour, and when I was about to get home, I was already in a high position.

When they arrived in front of the mountain, there were dozens of women who were washing clothes with river water. When they arrived at the mountain, they were carrying loads of water and washing toilets by the water.

There is nothing hygienic or not. The old man said, the water will be clear. The fishermen from the dam are still eating, living and drowning by the water. Before they reached the entrance of the village, several mature dogs in the village rushed out. When they saw Lin Yanchao, they did not bark, but instead whined gently.

It’s better to be home. Lin Yanchao became more and more friendly, but it was not his own place. Hongshan Village is still too closed. The people heard each other and never interacted with each other. Many people in the village spent their entire lives, and they had never been to the provincial capital more than ten miles away.

The news was not clear, and it was estimated that Lin Yanchao was appreciated by Hu Tixue for a few days, but it did not reach the village.

Lin Yanchao still greeted his fellow villagers along the road. When the villagers saw him, they smiled and replied: "Choice Chao, you're back!"

"After reading, I'm becoming more and more polite."

"Go back quickly, your wife is waiting for you."

After hearing this, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

When he came to the second-story building at home, he saw Lin Qianqian feeding silkworms inside the door, holding a dustpan in one hand and taking out mulberry leaves from it with the other hand to feed silkworms. Lin Yanchao looked at the little loli, which was so cute. Lin Qianqian turned around and put it down on the dustpan, and happened to see Lin Yanchao.

Lin Qianqian saw Lin Yanchao and rubbed her eyes, showing a look of surprise and joy.

"Brother Chao." Lin Qianqian almost cried with joy.

Lin Yanchao was about to grow his arms to welcome the little loli's hug, suddenly Lin Qianqian stopped and froze in joy. He suddenly asked with suspicion: "Today is not the New Year, why are you back?"

Lin Yanchao replied: "Qianqian, sir has already gone to the library and there is no tutor in the school, so I'll come home to see you."

Lin Qianqian said disbelief: "Sir, how could you go to the museum? Could it be that you were slack in your studies and ran back home? Is it easy for me to work hard to support you in school?"

Lin Qianqian immediately turned to suspicion and questioned. Lin Yanchao laughed and said, "You don't know that after I went to the community for school, I was appreciated by the supervisor. The supervisor has already promised to let our father enter the Martyrs' Temple. The yamen has also received the documents for exempting labor service."

"The supervisor is Wenquxing, so how can you easily appreciate others?" Lin Qianqian said.

"Don't you believe I have a document?"

"It's true and fake, take a look."

Lin Yanchao shook his head, deliberately pretending to be angry, and took out the document from the book basket. Lin Qianqian took the book, and she was also able to read the text and snippets. Although she couldn't recognize several words in a document, she still understood the general idea.

"Brother Chao, it's true, you're finally here." Lin Qianqian suddenly threw herself into Lin Yanchao's arms and started crying.

Lin Yanchao patted Lin Qianqian's soft shoulder and said, "Okay, Qianqian, the appreciation of the supervisor is nothing. When I become a scholar in the future, it will not be too late for you to cry again. Now I will cry all over my tears. In the future, I will be a Juren and a Jinshi, and you will not be able to cry enough."

Lin Qianqian heard this and hit Lin Yanchao hard on the chest and said, "You will destroy people."

"Be gentle, I can't afford it. You hit me every few days."

Lin Qianqian smiled and put the document on her nose, carefully repeating it word by word, then she believed it was true, and said happily: "That's good, tell the uncle and the third uncle this good thing quickly. They have sent corvee labor for General Xie these days."
