Four hundred and fifty seventh chapter grateful
Lin Qianqian thought about Lin Yanshou and Cheng Nan's request, and Lin Yanchao neither accepted nor refused.
This is all a dilemma.
If they don't help, they may hurt their relatives and will be passed on to their homes, villages, and officialdom. If they help, they don't know how many more things will happen to them in the future.
Lin Qianqian suddenly didn't know what to do, but she couldn't say it clearly in front of the two. Just when Lin Qianqian was in a dilemma, she could only hear a cough outside. Lin Qianqian couldn't help but be overjoyed. She knew that Lin Yanchao was back.
Lin Yanchao was wearing a black hat on his head, a royal kirin suit, and a tooth card hanging on his waist, and slowly walked over.
Seeing Lin Yanchao's outfit, Lin Qianqian didn't feel anything when she saw Lin Yanshou and Cheng Nan were shocked at once.
Although they did not know that the Qilin suit was taken by an important official, they could tell that they were much more grand than the magistrate's parents and officials at just one glance. Even the magistrate in a breeze robe was not as good as Lin Yanchao.
Seeing this official uniform, Cheng Nan was the first to stand up from the chair, and then knelt down and kowtow. This was also a conditioned reflex. When the prefect traveled, the people would kneel away from the sedan chair, and even Lin Yanchao's official power was better than the prefect. Cheng Nan just stood up and his knees were soft. He was about to kneel down, but he remembered the person in front of him, who was his brother-in-law, and he secretly called in danger. If he knelt down in the hall, he would not say that he would lose face, even Qianqian and his face would be completely lost.
Cheng Nan thought to himself, after not seeing each other for two years, Lin Yanchao was so grand. If my sister hadn't told her, I would have almost thought that the prime minister of the dynasty would have arrived.
Therefore, Cheng Nan was a little arrogant and did not dare to show his temper. He was originally going to see Lin Yanchao, and called his brother-in-law first, climbing his relationship and having a good relationship, but at this moment he did not dare to act rashly. He swallowed the words into his stomach and stood aside with breath and calmly holding his breath, as he should be as respectful as possible.
As soon as Lin Yanchao walked into the main hall, he saw the expressions of both of them. The brother-in-law of the Cheng family was shocked first, then timid, and then respectful, and he could see them at a glance.
I looked at Lin Yanshou again and knew it.
He was in his official uniform and entered the house in this way. If he met Lin Chengyi in private, or other classmates and old friends, he would never meet in this official uniform. He had to change into plain clothes, otherwise this would be rude, and others would also be pretending to be prosperous and get along with you.
However, Lin Yanchao felt that these two people should be separated.
Lin Yanchao said, "Brother is here, this is Ziming. I've been together for many years and I haven't seen each other for a long time."
When Cheng Nan saw Lin Yanchao remembering his words, he was so happy that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
He has been doing business abroad for many years and has seen the world. This time he came to Beijing, his father mentioned what to say and how to say it was prepared. But for some reason, he was not very good at seeing Lin Yanchao's words, so he could only stutter: "Sister... brother-in-law."
Seeing Cheng Nan's expression, Lin Yanchao looked at the official uniform and smiled and said, "Look at me in a hurry to go home and come to see you in the official uniform. You are so rude. You sit down first, and then come back to your room and change your clothes."
After saying that, Lin Yanchao ignored the two of them and walked back to the room by himself.
Lin Yanshou and Cheng Nan also re-seated. After Cheng Nan sat on the chair, he was full of thoughts. He remembered that when he first met Lin Yanchao, he was just a poor scholar from a remote village. However, when he met again, the other party was already in Tsinghua University, and there was a difference.
Cheng Nan felt very moved in his heart that the vicissitudes of human affairs and the change was immutable. At the same time, he was also glad that this person was his brother-in-law and he hugged a golden thigh.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Lin Yanchao wore a swallow suit and lifted the curtain to enter. Although it was a home-based swallow suit, the officials' swallow suit also had rules.
Lin Yanchao wore a Zhongjing crown and a half-old dark jade dress. He held a folding fan and walked over and sat straight on the main seat.
When Cheng Nan saw Lin Yanchao change out of his official robe and come in a swallow suit. Although it was much simpler, he looked calm and had a bit of the demeanor of a noble family. He couldn't help but feel even more moved.
As soon as Lin Yanchao took his seat, he heard Lin Yanshou say on the side: "Yanchao, you seem to be a very good official!"
Lin Yanshou said as he picked up the tea, blew a breath, and then held the airs full of clutching.
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I'm just wearing a suit just now."
Lin Yanchao turned around and asked Cheng Nan, "Zi Ming, is Lao Taishan healthy?"
Lin Qianqian heard Lin Yanchao’s first question asking about his father’s recent situation, and was full of joy when she looked at Lin Yanchao.
Cheng Nan was sitting upright, but he was overjoyed when he heard this and said in his heart, "You see, the top scholar is going to make friends with you." So Cheng Nan smiled and said, "My father has always been healthy and has always been thinking about his brother-in-law and sister in his heart."
Cheng Nan also climbed up the bar.
Lin Yanchao said: "I am worried about Lao Taishan."
Cheng Nan smiled and said, "This time I went to Beijing thousands of miles, one to visit Qianqian, and the other to send a letter to my father to my brother-in-law."
After saying that, Cheng Nan handed over a letter to Lin Yanchao.
When Lin Qianqian heard that it was his father's letter, she felt uneasy and thought that if his father asked Lin Yanchao to arrange errands for his brother, it would be really difficult for Lin Yanchao to do it.
Lin Yanchao saw that the letter was intact, so he used a paper cutter to open the letter and read it.
Mr. Cheng’s general idea in his letter was that.
When my son-in-law heard that you were three years old, all the elders in my hometown were celebrating. I was happy for you and Qianqian at home. I remember the past again, and I felt deeply sorry for you and Qianqian. I only asked you to treat Qianqian well in this life. I have nothing to ask for in this life. As for my son, I am not very good at it and has not achieved anything in business for many years, so I want to take a career in the official career. I know that you are an official in the court, so I have the desire to ask for it. I know that this is a reluctant request, but the dog son has made up his mind and I spoiled him on weekdays and can't stop him. Since you are here, you let him stay in Beijing for a few months and then return to Fuzhou. As for the matter of being an official, you don't have to agree, everything is up to me.
After reading the letter, Lin Yanchao felt that what Mr. Cheng said in this letter was still very sensible.
So he folded the letter and put it in the envelope and glanced at Cheng Nan, but saw Cheng Nan smiling guiltily, his face full of pleasing expressions.
Lin Yanchao said: "It turns out that Ziming is going to take the career of officialdom!"
Cheng Nan was about to reply when he heard Lin Yanshou say, "You also want to be an official. We have so many relatives in the Lin family. If everyone comes to ask for an official, how can we agree?"
When Cheng Nan heard Lin Yanshou say this, he smiled and said with a pity: "This statement makes sense. I didn't come empty-handed. This time I got two hundred taels of silver from my family, and asked my brother-in-law to plan for me."
"I just want to buy an official at two hundred taels? Do you think it's buying vegetables!" Lin Yanshou instantly slapped Cheng Nan in the face.
Lin Yanchao was funny in his heart, but he didn't say anything on his face.
Cheng Nan's face turned red when Lin Yanshou said, gritting his teeth and said, "I don't know the market. Brother-in-law, if two hundred taels are too little, three hundred taels are OK, and five hundred taels are also affordable! Brother-in-law, I know I'm prone to it, but I just want to be an official in this life. I'll live my life and live my official career. Please help me."
"Five hundred taels, why do you say now, OK, you have a bad conscience. You actually wanted to make a fortune by yourself before, so how could you be so cheap..."
Lin Yanchao felt that Lin Yanshou would be fine after saying this, so he couldn't let him continue. He coughed and said, "Brother, can you let me say a few words?"
Lin Yanshou said, "You said, you said." So he picked up the snack from the table and started eating.
Lin Yanchao pondered for a while and said, "If I were to ask for an official position for you now, it would be a bit difficult. It was not a matter of money. You are not from a fame and fortune, so you have to become a grain-based official. Are you willing?"
"The official is too hard..." Cheng Nan was embarrassed and wanted to say something else, but seeing that Lin Yanshou was already blowing his beard and glaring, he obviously looked like 'You dare to be picky', so he had to swallow the words back to his stomach.
Lin Yanchao said: "There are only miscellaneous officials who are not as good as free-ranking officials or provincial priests."
Cheng Nan felt it was not good after hearing it, but he didn't dare to say it.
Lin Yanchao paused, and then said, "You think the officials are too hard, not a good official, but also too low-key. I don't think so. If you go to the Imperial College to donate a prison, have a fame and fortune, and use some money in the future, within five years, what will I guarantee you a future?"
Cheng Nan was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Brother-in-law, this can be used. Not to mention waiting for five years, ten years can be waiting. I am not afraid of how much money I spend. I just need to be able to ask for an official position."
"This matter is not difficult." Lin Yanchao said. It is indeed just a small task for him now.
Cheng Nan received Lin Yanchao's words and said immediately: "Brother-in-law, you are my great benefactor. I really don't know how to repay you."
Lin Yanchao smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to thank you too much. I didn't do much. The rest of the donation prisons are the same. I just don't let you spend money in vain, just go the wrong way."
Despite Lin Yanchao's words, Cheng Nan still kept thanking him and even burst into tears. Seeing his brother like this, Lin Qianqian couldn't help but be happy for him.
After seeing something, Lin Yanchao said to Lin Qianqian: "Qianqian, please let your brother go down and rest first, and then ask Zhan Ming to go to Deyi Tower tonight to book a table and wait for the banquet, and send it to your home. I will greet your brother and Ziming!"
Lin Qianqian agreed and left with Cheng Nan.
After the two left, Lin Yanshou pointed at Cheng Nan's back and said disdainfully: "Yanchao, you just want to send such a dedicated official fan away, why bother to plan for him? Fortunately, I'm blocking you for you today."
Lin Yanshou said this seriously, as if we were our own people.
Lin Yanchao smiled and asked, "Brother, have you brought your family letters?"
Lin Yanshou's face turned red. In fact, he had two letters in his arms, one of which was Lin Gaozhuo and the other of which was his father.
But he said, "I don't know where to put it for a while. I have to look for it and I'll give it to you later."
Lin Yanchao nodded and asked, "Brother, you are coming to Beijing and you must donate to prison!"
