The next day, Lin Yanchao and Lin Gao asked to go to Zhangcuo to send New Year gifts to the old master, Zhang Xiang and Zhang General Jia.

Lin Gao nodded and said happily: "It should be like this. As a person, you should be grateful. When you were studying in the society, you should be taken care of by them. Otherwise, there would be no future for you today, and it is necessary to prepare some good gifts."

Lin Yanchao started to buy it now, and asked Lin Gao to become the ambassador of Hebo Institute. There were a lot of New Year's goods at home, so he was indispensable to sending the owner to the other party.

Lin Qianqian bought Lin Yanchao. Fujian was near the sea and the river, so fish and shrimp were not worth the money, so Lin Qianqian took Lin Yanchao one Feng Chicken and duck, three white rice cakes, half a bucket of glutinous rice, the rest of the loose tea, tobacco, dried fruit fish balls, etc.

Now Lin Yanchao is carrying a large bag and small bags. Nowadays, what is important is to give gifts lightly and affection heavily. The ancients gave goose feathers thousands of miles away, while Lin Yanchao gave chickens and ducks more than ten miles away.

Lin Yanchao arrived at the entrance of the village and took advantage of the car. He took advantage of the halo of a scholar and got on the road without paying for it.

After a dozen miles of mountain road, I arrived at Zhangcuo. Lin Yanchao first went to Lao Fuzi's residence, but saw a broken fence with an old thatched hut. Before he could reach the house, he heard a noise from inside.

"What did you say about this during the Chinese New Year?"

"Why can't I say that you are a stubborn donkey, you don't know how to make a living, and you are a honest and honest man. It's so pitiful that I marry you."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that he had come, but when he arrived at the door, he could only knock on the door: "Sir, the student is greeting you with New Year."

The old master opened the door and saw that it was Lin Yanchao and said furiously: "Haha, you are here, don't dare to be it. The disciple of the dignified Lianjiang Academy, called me a sir, and laughed."

Still so sour, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but curse in his heart: "If you say that, then I'll leave the thing."

When the old master saw Lin Yanchao making a move to leave, he said, "He also threatened me. Damn, a guest is here."

Just now, he quarreled with the old master's wife and quickly came out with apologies. Lin Yanchao said respectfully: "My master's wife is greeting you with New Year's greetings." He immediately put down the chicken, duck, white cake.

The old master's wife immediately thanked her repeatedly: "You are still intent. Otherwise, our family would not see any meat during the New Year."

The old master sat down and sulked, "What did you say you did? Why don't you take it in?"

The old master's wife shed two turbid tears, then went into the house to cook a bowl of noodles for Lin Yanchao. After Lin Yanchao ate it, she stuffed an extra hanging of money before leaving, which made the old master's wife thank him again.

Then Lin Yanchao went to Zhang Xiang again, Zhang Zhengjia's house. Zhang Xiang met after going out, but Zhang Zhengjia was at home, and Zhang Haoyuan was also there. He hadn't seen his classmates for a long time, and it was very lively. Several disciples who had played well with Lin Yanchao in the social sciences and heard that Lin Yanchao had arrived together.

Everyone talked and laughed, and said something about leaving. Lin Yanchao knew that Zhang Haoyuan had gone to Shahe Society, which was also a famous society and had a juren. He heard that Zhang Haoyuan seemed to have made great progress in his studies. Then Zhang Haoyuan stayed at the Zhang family for a meal, and Lin Yanchao immediately returned to his hometown.

When he returned to Hongshan Village, Lin Yanchao saw a good carriage parked at home. There were several soap-clothed grooms and blue-clothed servants next to the carriage. Many villagers were pointing fingers around him.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but wonder why the distinguished guest came to his home.

But a servant next to the carriage at the door was joking, "This family is so ugly. Look at this house, alas, the master's beloved daughter is really poor when she gets married into this family."

Another servant said, "You know what, that's a reason."

"Borrow it!" Lin Yanchao said, walked to the door, glanced at the servants. The servants immediately shut up and cursed: "At the door of someone else's house, are you gossiping? Let's see how the master blames you after he goes back."

Lin Yanchao pushed the door and entered the room, but saw that there was indeed a casual guest at home.

There were tea, fruits and melons on the round table in the middle. Everyone sat in a circle. The middle-aged man sitting with the forest tall, with white face and black beard, had a bit elegant appearance. He was wearing a silk shirt, but the huge green ring on his right thumb made him look a little disappointed.

Sitting at his head was a young man in his twenties, wearing a silk shirt, and both of them were dressed in merchants.

When Lin Gaojie saw Lin Yanchao enter, he smiled and introduced to the two people: "Zheng Manwai, Mr. Cheng, this is Yanchao."

As he said that, Lin Gao said to Lin Yanchao again: "Yanchao, I haven't seen the Master Cheng yet. Mr. Cheng, he is Qianqian's biological father and brother."

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel a little surprised, isn't Lin Qianqian's father the future father-in-law?

Lin Yanchao had heard from his family that the other party was Lin Yanchao's father, and the two had a good relationship. Although Cheng Manwai had been unable to pass the exam and failed to pass the scholar, his family was very well-off. There was a cowhide shop in Nantai, an oil candle shop, and a silk shop in the city.

Later, after Cheng Yuanwai's wife gave birth to Qianqian, she found someone to do a fortune teller. The fortune teller said that Qianqian and her wife were incompatible. If she raised her in the Cheng family, she would either defeat her wife or her baby girl died prematurely.

Just then, the scholar's father became a scholar, so Cheng Yuanwai talked about this marriage with the Lin family and sent Qianqian, who was in the cradle, to the Lin family to be a child bride. After hearing the fortune teller, in order to break the relationship with the Cheng family, Lin Qianqian even followed the Lin family's surname when she was born.

But since he is a child bride, why is Cheng Zhengwai coming to the door? Although Qianqian has not passed by, she is already waiting for her New Year's daughter-in-law. According to the feudal feudal idea, she has no connection with your family. What are you doing?

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but say something, but he still said, "See Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng!"

Mr. Cheng took a sip of tea, then nodded and said, "Okay, I just look a little thin."

When the uncle saw Mr. Cheng, he was careful that Lin Yanchao had lost face in front of his father-in-law and said immediately: "Mr. Cheng, Yanchao, our family is a scholar, and he is inevitably a little delicate."

Mr. Cheng nodded and asked Lin Yanchao again: "Where are you studying? How many years have you studied? Have you participated in the child swab?"

Lin Yanchao replied: "If you return to the school, Jia Yan died early, so he became a little late. He studied in elementary school for a total of three years, so he only started to do the classics in September this year, and he did not receive any famous teachers. As a child test, he is planning to try his luck next year."

Lin Yanchao said this very low-key. Everyone was surprised. The uncle felt that he had lost face in front of Chen Yuan. He stood up and said, "Why should Yanchao be too..."

Lin Gao coughed after hearing this, and the uncle stopped talking.

Cheng Yuanwai heard this and said, "You were only twelve years old to practice the classics. It's too late. As for taking the children's swab in a year, it's only a formality and a very small grasp. When you go to the exam, you need silver for literary and art books, and you also need to buy good pens, ink, paper and inkstones. You have to go first for two or three taels of silver. Not only does it cost money, you also have to ask the students to settle their essays as a guarantee, which costs two or two taels of gold."

"Look at my nephew, if you are calmer, Bufan will wait for another two or three years. You see, your family is not well-off, and you should also think about the adults at home and not just focus on your own fame."

Mr. Cheng’s words were equivalent to a serious accusation. Lin Yanchao said softly and hard: “Thank you, Mr. Cheng’s advice, my nephew has his own opinions.”

When Mr. Cheng heard that Lin Yanchao did not listen to his advice, he couldn't help frowning, revealing a little unhappy.

Cheng Yuanwai was also a child student. Although he had not entered school, he was also a Chinese-style examination in the office. If he had not had an industry at home, he could go to an inconspicuous place, be a socialist, or be invited to be a attendant. So what he said was not unreasonable, but the mistake was that he used the resources of the Chinese to estimate Lin Yanchao.

The uncle quickly explained to Lin Yanchao: "Master Cheng, don't you know that Grandpa Yanchao is now the ambassador of the Hebang Institute. Who doesn't listen to him on the ten miles of the Fujian River? The family is quite affordable, so Yanchao went to the children to wipe it and spent five or six taels of silver. It's not a big deal. Maybe he can pass the test?"

Mr. Cheng couldn't help but smile and said, "It turns out that the official in the river is here. I'll congratulate you here."

Lin Gao smiled twice and said, "This is nothing."

At this moment, the young master Cheng said in a big way: "Dad, He Bingshu from the county garrison, that's not your friend of the eighth worship. I heard that the ambassadors in this river are not easy to write. Most of the people on the water are troublemakers. If Shi Bo Gong has any trouble, you can't find He Bingshu."

"He Bingshu?" The uncle's face changed slightly. He was seeking a job in the military room, so he knew how He Bingshu was an energy-rich figure in the county.

The respectful title of the military officer is the military book, while the judicial officer is the judicial officer. If the six wings of the county government are compared to the six departments of the court, then the military officer of the county government is equivalent to the minister of the Ministry of War of the court. The officials of the civil servant are the head of a wing, in charge of the envoys, posts, as well as military offices, stations, soldiers, archers and other military preparations in the city.

As the ambassador of the Hepo District, Lin Gaojie was also under the control of the military office. Mr. Cheng said that He Bingshu was his father's eight-day friend, and that was to say that Lin Gaojie, the ambassador of the Hepo District, did not take Lin Gaojie seriously.

Lin Gaozhe clasped his fists without any anger and said, "I have to say so, thank you for your care."
