Lin Shouyi's father was an extremely inconspicuous assistant officer in the Supervisory Office of Lizhudongtian in the past. He was in charge of some minor officials and had assisted three successive Supervisors: Song Yuzhang, the vassal king Song Changjing, and Cao Gengxin.

.It’s just that the people in small towns back then, old and young, had no idea about officialdom, and couldn’t even tell the difference between officials and officials. In addition, the officials in the Supervision and Construction Department only dealt with those dragon kilns and kiln workers and porcelain all year round.

, actually has nothing to do with ordinary people.

However, his uncle Cui Cheng once revealed the secret to Lin Shouyi. His father asked his uncle to help him get his name.

Can a minor official who supervises the construction of a government office ask Imperial Master Da Li to help him name his son?

Even fools know that this kind of thing is absolutely unreasonable.

What's more, Lin Shouyi, who was precociously intelligent since childhood, didn't even think that his father was just a sesame official supervising the construction of the office.

The man asked: "Do you need me to run to the gate barefoot and welcome you all the way in?"

Lin Shouyi then crossed the threshold and sat down on the kang, but he didn't take off his boots. He followed his father's example and sat cross-legged.

I am worried that I will receive a few more similar harsh words.

Lin Shouyi asked: "Did you participate in the incident involving Chen Ping'an's father?"

The man twitched the corner of his mouth, raised the wine bowl and took a sip of wine, "The wings are strong, and I am worthy of being a god on the mountain. I fly around without touching the ground, and my tone is loud. How do you say, eat the beauty and drink the dew?"

Or did you recognize your wild father outside and teach you how to be a good son?"

After the man left the kiln affairs supervision and construction office, he left his hometown and worked in the chariot and cleaning department of the Imperial Military Department of Dali. He was just an errand in an affiliated yamen under the chariot department. He was an official of the seventh rank, and he also had the word "conformity". Because he was not

He was born in the imperial examination, so he is a bad official. In addition, he is not a native of the capital. Now he is older, so let alone being a Lang official, it is difficult to even take off the word "conformity". In recent years, he has barely managed

It can be said that he is in charge of the post office of Qingshui Yamen. This is because the top leader is a son of a family who does not take care of things. When he meets men, he always talks like an old man. The post offices of various counties and counties came to Beijing and received the emperor's approval. The Ministry of War

Wherever the Nailing Chichi goes, they all go through this inconspicuous government office. In addition, the newspapers distributed from the capital to the local areas are also under the jurisdiction of this office. Presumably, those colleagues in the government office cannot imagine that Lin Zhengcheng, who is bored all year round, will be that person.

The father of Lin Shouyi, who is famous in the two capitals.

Lin Shouyi has been afraid of this father since he was a child.

In fact, things haven't gotten much better in recent years.

He has been away from home for many years, traveling to study and practicing hard, seemingly just to prove something to men.

With or without you as my father, and with or without my family, Lin Shouyi could be very successful.

My mother is partial and dotes on her younger brother. My father is indifferent and doesn't care about anything.

It's just that when it comes to his younger brother Lin Shouye, it's better not to have a smiling face than to have Lin Shouyi say nothing but mean words when he does.

Therefore, throughout Lin Shouyi's childhood, until he left his hometown for a long trip, he lived up to his reputation as a father who did not love his mother.

It once broke a young man's heart.

So much so that when Lin Shouyi, a taciturn and comely young man who studied together in the Sui Dynasty, confessed his feelings to Chen Pingan for the first time, he said, "Not all parents in the world are like your parents."

But Lin Shouyi seems to be different today.

Lin Shouyi said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for me, Chen Pingan would never have deliberately taken a detour and deliberately bypassed our Lin family when investigating the truth about the natal porcelain fragments. Even when Chen Pingan arrived in the capital last time, he was still

Pretend to know nothing. Dad, you have to give me an explanation today, because I also have to give an explanation to my friends!"

The man glanced at his son.

Lin Shouyi's expression was calm, his eyes were firm, and he looked directly at his father.

It's an unprecedented thing.

The man was not annoyed at all and nodded, "Finally, I am acting like a man. Otherwise, I would have thought that I had given birth to a daughter and would have to worry about the dowry."

Lin Shouyi was a little confused.

Can this be considered a compliment?

The man raised his chin.

Lin Shouyi was puzzled.

The man asked: "Don't you know how to drink? You are still a Yuanying realm monk, but now you don't have a single thing on your body to put wine bottles, wine glasses and other sundries?"

Lin Shouyi was a little embarrassed, "I have never had anything close to me."

The man didn't move at all, but asked: "Then, as my son, should I help your father get the wine glass or the wine bowl? Please send a message to prevent me from getting the wrong one and the father will be unhappy."

Lin Shou took a deep breath, stood up silently, and hurriedly left the house to get a wine bowl elsewhere.

This man either doesn't speak, but when he speaks he likes to poke holes in his heart. This has always been the case.

There are several maids in the house, but they are all big and round, and they are all under the orders of the mother. On the father's side, he has always done all the big and small things himself, and never let the maids serve.

When Lin Shou returned to the house, he poured himself a bowl of wine, but he didn't dare to fill it up, so he kept silent, holding the bowl in both hands, and drank it all in one gulp.

The man raised the wine bowl, took a sip of wine, picked up a salted peanut, twisted it gently, threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and said slowly: "If you and Chen Pingan are friends, then Chen Pingan and I are friends.

Ping An's father can be considered a friend, well, I can't say whether it counts or not, that's all."

Lin Shou nodded.

Chen Ping'an's father was a kiln worker in a dragon kiln. He was extremely skilled in craftsmanship and kind. He was an honest man without any right or wrong. Originally, if nothing unexpected happened, he could be the master of the dragon kiln in a few years.

Lin Shouyi's father was responsible for the specific kiln supervision, supervising the firing results, appraising the quality of the porcelain, and inspecting the quality of the porcelain. Since Song Yuzhang, the supervising officer in his early years, was also a diligent official who liked to visit the kiln entrance the most, Lin Shouyi

My father had to go out with his superior, and often had to get along with the master kiln workers.

Lin Zhengcheng said slowly: "What else can two men talk about besides boring and boring kiln affairs? When they each have sons, they will just chat about their daily routines while drinking wine."

"Actually, we have made an agreement long ago. If his and I happen to have a son and a daughter, we will arrange a baby marriage. By coincidence, we are both sons, so there is no chance."

Lin Shouyi asked doubtfully: "Uncle Chen also drinks?"

Lin Zhengcheng nodded and said: "I drink, I can drink, but I'm not good at drinking. So every time I pull him to drink, it's fine at Longyao, but at worst he'll fall asleep. If he's in town, he'll be like a thief."

, I was also wondering at that time, he was not the kind of strict wife, and his sister-in-law was famous for her gentle temperament. I always felt that it was not the case. I never had a chance to ask. I always felt that there would be opportunities in the future, but I still can’t think of it until now.

clear."

"At that time, I was living on public food. Our Lin family was not as good as those with big names on Fulu Street and Taoye Lane. We were considered well-off and had much more money than him. But as long as we had a drink and I treated him to a meal, he would

I will definitely pay for it and treat him to a meal in return, and I won’t deliberately buy too many fine wines, it’s just my intention.”

"An honest person is not stupid. A conscientious person is not dull. A sense of proportion cannot be learned by reading alone. Even if you practice in Gongmen, you may not be able to endure it. You will definitely gain it if you suffer more losses.

A sense of proportion.”

"At that time, I said that my son was smart, precocious, and that he was ready to read at first glance. Maybe he would be a teacher when he grew up. He said that his son was sensible, and his appearance and temperament were just like him.

Mother, from now on I will go to school with you and become literate. Whether you want to be a porcelain kiln worker or not depends on your own wishes."

Lin Shouyi listened attentively.

Except that my father was talking about past stories that had never been mentioned.

It was also the first time that my father chatted with me, and his words were not so unpleasant.

Lin Zhengcheng gently put down his wine bowl, "Someone leaked the inside story about Benming Porcelain to him."

The man narrowed his eyes, "This person has sinister intentions and must have deliberately told only part of the truth. Otherwise, in my opinion, the fact that all children have natal porcelain from birth is not all bad. To put it harshly, in those days it was so

Under this situation, only if you keep your life and have the qualifications to practice, can you have a chance of survival."

"Later on, I didn't show up for the two extravagant events in Mud Bottle Alley. It was inappropriate. There are some things here that you don't need to know. But over there at Yang's shop, I said hello in secret. It was just the rules of Old Man Yang in the backyard.

After all, there is a lot I can do to help. In this matter, I feel guilty. It is indeed me, a friend, who failed to take good care of his son because of my own insufficiency."

The man sighed, wrinkled his face, then relaxed.

It was useless to say that, he drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and was ready to chase people away.

Lin Shouyi said: "I'm going to retreat."

"Are you short of money?"

"There was a gap of one hundred Guyu coins before."

"Pretend I didn't ask."

The man immediately said, "Whether it's stealing or robbing, if you want money, don't go to my Qingshui Yamen, and don't go to the Department of Household Affairs, they are strict, and the Department of Etiquette has saved a lot of private money."

The man said it without any embarrassment.

Lin Shou was stunned when he heard this.

Lin Zhengcheng glanced at his son. He originally thought that a monk in the Nascent Soul Realm would go into seclusion and consume heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which would be converted into immortal money, which would be at most forty or fifty Grain Rain coins.

I never thought I would end up with such a spendthrift.

Look at Chen Ping'an, and then look at Dong Shuijing, which one is not a swallow carrying mud, replenishing one's property and consolidating the family's wealth every year?

Only I gave birth to a good son.

Lin Shouyi said softly: "If that's the case, why didn't you tell him earlier? He has been worried for so many years in vain. Chen Ping'an must have felt that these years will not be easy."

The man twitched his lips and said: "I am half of Chen Pingan's elder after all. If he doesn't come to me, should I take the initiative to find him? This guy doesn't understand etiquette. Is it possible that I, as an elder, have no shame?"
