Chapter 94 Two Letters
The next day, Lin Yanchao came to the house again, and his uncle also came together. Fangya found Fangjia, and the neighbors on both sides as middlemen. He also invited the yamen to write the deed and made the deed in public.
The house deeds have to be filed at the yamen, but because the house is bought in the territory of Min County, Lin Yanchao and his family are from Houguan County, so they have to go to the government office to go to the yamen for procedures.
Lin Yanchao asked Fang Ya and Uncle San took the post from Mr. Zhang of the government office to do this. After the officials from the government office saw Mr. Zhang's post, the clerks who were in charge did not dare to collect money. Moreover, they handled it very quickly, which was completely inconsistent with the style of feudal bureaucrats.
This time Fang Ya was really convinced by Lin Yanchao. Even the people in the government office valued this young man so much. What is the background?
Lin Yanchao paid the money, and the wife of the Wu family smiled happily and thanked her for being grateful.
Fangjia, the neighbor knew that Lin Yanchao's family was an official and the other was an official, so he also came to find out about his relationship. The uncle immediately accepted several posts, all of whom were invited to dinner.
My uncle is now a famous figure. He knows that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. He is also following the rules now. After thanking each other, he also told Fangjia that he would set up a mat in the alley for a few days and invite neighbors to have a meal.
After seeing off the guests, Lin Gaozhuo also came back. Now the family is finally reunited and is having a happy time.
Lin Gaozhuo was very satisfied after looking at the house, but his uncle said that there was some shortcomings. According to his wishes, he had to fill the well in the courtyard, and then build a main hall on the courtyard, and build a corridor on both sides to form a front hall and back hall. He also gave an example that the people who work in the yamen built it like this.
But my uncle's bad idea was unanimously opposed by his family, so he failed to pass.
There are four rooms in the inner courtyard, and the room north of the main hall is distributed to the uncle and aunt. The room south of the main hall is for Lin Gaozhuo to live in. Because Lin Gaozhuo often lives in the yamen, he also transfers it to Lin Yanchao and Lin Yanshou to study. As for the small building facing north and south of the inner courtyard, the room upstairs is given to Lin Yanchao and Lin Qianqian, and the third uncle lives downstairs.
As for the two wing rooms in the outer courtyard, one is used as a guest room, and another one is where to stay after the servants are invited to stay.
After having a new home, Lin Yanchao and Lin Qianqian were both very satisfied with the new residence.
Lin Yanchao likes to be quiet in the noise, while Lin Qianqian likes to live in the upper floor and the potted plants in the yard. However, although the two live in one room, they still keep it politely because of their wedding, and each sleeps in separate beds, with a curtain between them.
After a busy day, everyone was tired. They were lying on the bed, chatting through the curtains. Lin Qianqian was still excited and told Lin Yanchao all the time to add whatever they wanted to buy, such as furniture, fabric, pots, bowls, candlesticks, beds, etc., and worked hard to plan their home with Lin Yanchao.
The wind upstairs passed through the window crack and penetrated in, which was particularly fresh. The rustling sound of the wind, with Lin Qianqian's soft words, Lin Yanchao could only express his gratitude gently, but his heart was extremely quiet.
As a woman, she is so charming and famous Guiyuan is just like that. She can see it, but she may not be able to get along with her. She is just a mortal, not good at love, and is even more lazy to pay attention to women. But if a woman treats her wholeheartedly, she will make her very happy. Well, that's probably what he is.
Lin Qianqian's voice became more and more tired and sleepy as she spoke. Lin Yanchao also closed his eyes and listened quietly to the wind outside the window.
Two days later, an uninvited guest came to Lin Yanchao's house.
"Brother Chen? What wind blows you?" Lin Yanchao was a little surprised.
Chen Xinggui laughed and said, "Brother Lin, don't blame me for being well-informed. My Chen family still has some power in the city. Well, this house is good, and you can calm down in the chaos!"
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I just moved to a house."
Chen Xinggui looked around and said, "Brother Yanchao, here is to congratulate you on your happiness in moving forward, and then to tell you the news that the academy has been suspended."
"The academy has been suspended?" Lin Yanchao thought to himself that this is not good news.
Chen Xinggui said: "Yes, the Japanese pirates attacked Lianjiang again this time, and the academy was damaged. If the academy wants to start classes, they must be re-educated. Moreover, the Japanese pirates will come back in unknown times, so they will probably not be able to start classes within half a year."
Lin Yanchao hurriedly asked, "That mountain leader, the teacher, are you okay with your classmates?"
Chen Xinggui smiled and said, "Brother Yanchao, you are such a kind person. Don't worry, before the Japanese pirates came, the people of Lianjiang had already left empty. It's less than a year since the county examination is in progress. Since it's impossible to go to the academy, Brother Yanchao has plans to study."
Lin Yanchao thought for a while and said, "This is not yet, where is Brother Chen?"
Chen Xinggui smiled and said, "I'm going to hide it from Brother Yanchao, I'm going to study hard while the academy is suspended. Weng Zhengchun, the Hou Guan, didn't know that Brother Yanchao, had he heard of it? He locked himself in the isolated island of Jinshan Temple and studied alone. I can't wait for this perseverance."
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Yes, this person's perseverance is not as strong as us."
Chen Xinggui and Lin Yanchao chatted for a while before leaving, and left Lin Yanchao with an address, saying that they could go to his house to find him at any time.
After Chen Xinggui left, Lin Yanchao also thought that it was indeed necessary to study hard behind closed doors, and he had to take the county trial in less than a year. This incident of Japanese pirates caused a lot of distractions, so he should make up for it with hard study.
Lin Yanchao was picking up the book and wanted to read it, but at this time he heard a bang, and the uncle said, "Is Yanchao at home? Is Yanchao at home?"
Lin Yanchao was immediately angry. Can he still study quietly?
With the sound of footsteps, the uncle stepped upstairs, holding two letters in his hand, and gasping for breath, saying to Lin Yanchao: "Look at who sent these letters. Yanchao, it's like a dream."
Lin Yanchao said slowly: "Uncle, you are also a well-known figure in the yamen. You must be calm when encountering major events."
As Lin Yanchao said that, he took the uncle's letter and looked at it, thinking no wonder his uncle was so surprised.
There are two letters. The first letter was sent by someone from the Lin family in Lianpu. Lin Yanchao originally thought it was Lin Shisheng and Lin Shibi, or his teacher Lin Chengyi.
As a result, the signer was Lin Heng.
Who is Lin Feng? The younger brother of Lin Xuan, the Minister of Works of Nanjing, is a Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing, and is the same as the top scholar Shen Shixing, and is a member of the Hanlin Academy.
But I heard a while ago that when he was serving as the prefect of Taiping Prefecture, he guilty Zhang Juzheng.
At that time, Zhang Juzheng welcomed his mother to Beijing, and all the officials along the way were flattering. Only Lin Feng told his subordinates that he wanted me to plunder the wealth and wealthy people to please the powerful, but I couldn't do it.
After committing guilt on Zhang Juzheng, Lin Qiong resigned and went home. This was the incident last year. It was spread in the academy. The classmates all admired Lin Qiong's integrity, but some people thought he was seeking fame and making a name for himself.
Originally, a prefect who offended Zhang Juzheng and resigned from office, the Hanlin Academy, was incompatible with Lin Yanchao, but in the letter, he asked Lin Yanchao how he was studying the scriptures? If he had time, let Lin Yanchao go to the Lin Mansion in Wenrufang to pay his respects to him.
This really shocked the uncle. A retired magistrate came to ask Lin Yanchao what his studies were doing. This was definitely a mistake. But the person who came to deliver the letter insisted that he was not wrong.
The uncle then came back half-believingly, wanting to find out something from Lin Yanchao.
In fact, Lin Yanchao guessed that it was almost certain. In history, the eight Jinshi and five Shangshu in the Lin family in Lianpu have eight Jinshi, but there are only four Shangshu. It goes without saying that the future career of this prefect Lin is self-evident.
Although he offended Zhang Juzheng now and resigned, it seemed like he was a very miserable outcome, but the resignation of the Ming Dynasty officials was like playing with it. Today is an old man who was idle at home, and tomorrow he would be resigned as a senior. For example, Zhang Juzheng now, like guarding against thieves, he placed his former chief assistant Gao Gong.
Moreover, in the Wanli Dynasty, whenever Zhang Juzheng was in office, officials who opposed him were reused one by one after the Wanli liquidation of Zhang Juzheng.
The first letter shocked my uncle very much, but the second letter shocked my uncle so much that he was so angry that he was dripping with urine.
The signature is Yu Dayou, the general of Fujian garrison.
The letter says concisely, little brother, come to the General's Mansion and invite you to drink.
"I can't understand, I can't understand. Yanchao, why do you know so many big names?"
Lin Yanchao said lightly: "It's nothing. These two people, one is my teacher and the other, I'm kind to him."
My uncle immediately couldn't understand it even more.
Lin Yanchao smiled mysteriously.
"What are you going to do?"
"As Marshal Yu, I helped him not to repay his kindness, but to do something for the people. As for him to thank me, there is no need to write a letter to reply to him."
Why does this sound a bit fake? Forget it, I really didn't think about it. I am not the kind of person who is so happy that others can summon it. This score must be set.
The uncle couldn't speak after hearing this.
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "But the teacher, I still have to go and see you in person."
