There is already spring in the south, with willows sprouting and the spring breeze blowing on the face, but the north is still icy and snowy, and the cold is extremely cold, especially this year.

From the end of December last year, the river water of the North and South Canals first dried up and broke down in winter, and then frozen, and did not thaw until mid-January.

On the Tongzhou Wharf, Lin Xuan put his hands in his sleeves. The cold wind forced him to curl up unconsciously, but he also stretched his neck from time to time, trying to find the younger brother who had not arrived in Beijing from the crowd that kept getting off the boat.

"Young Master, Young Master... look!"

"It seems to be Master Hydrocarbon, uh, who is around you?"

"It's not from our Lin Mansion, I'm holding a knife!"

Lin Xuan ignored the words of the followers and rushed over the crowd, "Second brother, second brother!"

"Brother." Lin Feng reached out and held Lin Feng's hands happily.

A quarter of an hour later, the two brothers squeezed out of the dock. I have to say that along the way, the two entourages of Lin's mansion could not help, and the two strong guards around Lin's side helped a lot.

"Oh, these are the two guards borrowed by Zhenhai Longquan Public."

Lin Xuan didn't react for a moment, and Lin Feng added: "Zhejiang Inspector Qian Longquan."

Lin Feng was shocked and the Qian family guards were in the southeast. This sentence was also heard in the capital. If it weren't for the small number of people and the military achievements, Qian Yuan himself was in the emperor's heart, maybe someone would have impeached Qian Yuan and had ill intentions. Even so, some people in the court and the country said that Qian Yuan was in charge of death.

These two guards saluted respectfully. They often ran from the north and south line. Soon they found a carriage and the group headed towards the capital.

Lin Yun and Lin Feng were in the car, so the first thing they did was to ask each other's parents. Lin Yun wanted to ask about the Qian family's guards, but they were driving outside, so they naturally couldn't ask them.

After entering the capital, Lin Feng finally couldn't help it. Don't stop the carriage and lift the curtain later. Okay, I'm here to Suiyuan!

Although Lin Feng was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing and was selected as a Shujishi, he was a student of Xu Jie like Zhang Juzheng, but he was different from Zhang Juzheng after all, and he was from a family of officials and had a somewhat vague political faction, but he was not considered a subordinate of Xu Jie.

In fact, Lin Xuan had no good feelings for Xu Jie. He had always been alone in the Hanlin Academy and had few colleagues, but he had a good relationship with Sun Sheng, and the two had similar identities.

But even so, Lin Feng couldn't stand the carriage entering Suiyuan... He has been in Beijing for more than ten years and witnessed how Suiyuan became famous with his own eyes. He was too clear about the complexity of Suiyuan's background.

However, before Lin Feng could speak, the carriage stopped.

The Qian family guards outside said respectfully: "Young Master Lin, the coachman, and the carriage are left behind, and the younger ones will say goodbye first."

"It just so happens that I'm in a hurry to go to the Ministry of Rites." Lin Feng lifted the curtain and got out of the car, and said with a smile: "It's thanks to you both this time. I'll invite you to drink after the test later."

"I dare not be the invitation of Young Master Lin." The guard bowed and took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his brother's strange eyes, but blushed a little, so he simply stopped talking.

The carriage went straight to the Ministry of Rites and caught up with the last wave of examination registration... This is because Lin Feng's father Lin Tingji is the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Finally, everything was done, and Lin Feng did not return to the Hanlin Academy, so he took his younger brother home.

"You chose the Book of Documents. The Hanlin Academy selected six people this time. This is their past meaning of the Sutra."

"Huh?" Lin Feng said in surprise: "Brother was also the "Shangshu" back then. He had enough qualifications, so he was not selected?"

Lin Tingji, who had just returned home, frowned and said, "You go to the exam, how can your brother be the same examiner?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said nothing. In fact, he is recognized as the best in the Hanlin Academy for "Shangshu". He was the examiner of the Shangshu Room in the 35th year of the Jiajing exam. This time he resigned because Lin Qing took the exam. This matter spread in the Hanlin Academy, and Lin Xuan was praised for it.

Regardless of the others, the Lin family in Min County, who only uses two Jinshi, is really the best in the world, and even the Qian family cannot compare with it.

However, what complements this is that the Lin family's rules are a bit strict.

Lin Tingji first asked the clan, then the elders, and then his wife. Lin Feng knelt on the ground and answered one by one.

"Brother Shi Yan's wife and your mother are cousins. They got along before they got married..." Lin Tingji sighed, "Is Brother Shi Yan's health okay?"

"The hair and beard are all white, but the body is healthy."

"A letter from a villager, I met a tiger by the river?"

"Yes, fortunately, I'm saved by others." Lin Feng admired the local people, "The child is not worthy of his own health, I just hope that his father and his mother will be safe."

Lin Tingji looked relieved and smiled and said, "Get up."

Next was the exam. Lin Feng forced Qian Yuan to be ashen with his eight-legged essay, but Lin Feng and Lin Tingji... The former was a famous talent in the Hanlin Academy, and the latter was once the Imperial College Priest. This time, Lin Feng's face turned pale when asked.

"Try it." Lin Sheng smiled and said, "It should be on the list, and the ranking is not easy to say."

Lin Tingji nodded slightly and sighed: "It's not too late to try again after three years of hard work."

"It's hard to say, after all, there is still a palace examination." Lin Feng patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "and there is also a museum selection. My second brother is under twenty years old, and his knowledge of talent is far better than Qian Zhancai."

The meaning of this sentence is that even Qian Yuan can be chosen as a Shujishi, let alone you!

Lin Tingji frowned and said, "Qian Zhan's talent entered the Hanlin area, which is to reward merit and to his talent. Can you only see the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Lin Tingji couldn't keep his mouth shut. His life is quite difficult now. Yan Dang and Xu Dang are staring at him, and there is no such opportunity on weekdays.

Lin Feng and Lin Feng skillfully acted in a respectful way.

The former glanced slightly and said, "You are stupid. You are only eighteen years old and you went to Beijing to take the exam. If you fail, you won't... If you stay in Beijing, you will be trained every day!"

The latter looked back, "Brother, share the same blessings and difficulties!"

Three quarters of an hour later, Lin Tingji stopped talking without any satisfaction and instructed: "I will enter the market in a few days. I'll go buy a test box tomorrow... I'd better buy the Qian family, although it's a bit expensive."

Lin Xuan explained to his younger brother in a low voice: "Qian Family Restaurant has been sold since last year's Shuntianfu Country Examination. It has exquisite settings. In addition to carrying pens, inkstones, cups, water-taking utensils, bedding, meat dumplings, porridge noodles, and eggs."

Lin Feng was speechless, not saying that he was a county exam, a college exam, a government exam, and a provincial exam. Many of his family members were seniors in the field... I only heard about the basketball exam, but it was the first time I heard about the exam box!

At this time, Lin Xuan found an opportunity to continue along this topic, commented on the Qian Family Restaurant, and then talked about Suiyuan for a few words, and finally asked: "The Qian Family Guards are famous in the southeast and have many military achievements. They actually escorted you to Beijing..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Tingji, who was dry and slapped the tea cup and sprayed it out, "The Qian family guards escorted you to Beijing?"

Lin Xuan looked dark and said nothing, Lin Tingji widened his eyes, "Although there are only 300 people, the southeast attacks the Japanese, Changshui, Tongxiang, Shanyin, and Shangyu all kinds of great victory, either charging forward, and being unstoppable, or turning the tide, protecting the country and safeguarding the people, Qian Zhancai was in the southeast, and this guard has made great contributions..."

Lin Feng looked at his brother who was still covered with tea on his face with sympathy and said, "Not only that, as early as when the Longquan Gong was in the future, the Qian family guards had successively won many great victories in Jiading, Chongde and Linpingshan.

Moreover, in August last year, Qi Jimei led his army into Fujian, and Longquan Gong sent dozens of guards to accompany him. The Gutian victory was great. The fourth brother of Huating Hong used bird guns and tiger squatting cannons to determine the universe. The flank of Liang Wanning in Taizhou raided, and killed the generals and seized the flag. Yihuang victory, and Yiwu Loushan first climbed the city.
