After a while, after restraining the inner energy in his body, Li Jie opened his eyes, stood up and said to Zhang Bin: "Thank you for your advice!"
Zhang Bin said: "I didn't expect that you are extremely talented and you can get through it with just a few clicks. Even without my advice, the day of breaking through is not far away. I'm just following the trend."
"Will you take part in the exam next year? Although it is rare but not impossible to have a 13-year-old Jinshi in our dynasty, there are no 14-year-old Jinshi. Are you willing to be the first person?"
Li Jie replied: "That's exactly what I meant!"
"Okay! Then I am here to wish you in advance the victory in Toad Palace and your fame in the capital!"
The soft night wind blew from a distance, the moon reached its zenith, and the stars in the sky reflected each other. Li Jie raised his lips slightly on the carriage. This deer-crowing banquet was a worthwhile trip. He was one step closer to the Great Zhoutian and reached the innate realm.
Finally no longer out of reach.
Back home, under the moonlight, Yi was waiting in the yard for Li Jie to come back. Fang Kun heard footsteps in the distance and quietly exited the small yard.
Fang Kun looked at Li Jie sharply and said, "Why did you come back so late?"
Li Jie said with a puzzled look on his face: "After the Luming Banquet, the Chief Envoy gave me some pointers and I happened to have a small breakthrough. What's wrong?"
Hearing that Li Jie had made another breakthrough, Fang Kun looked at him like a monster. Thinking that Fang Yi was still waiting for Li Jie in the yard, his face changed and he said coldly: "It's best to come back early if nothing happens in the future."
!”
After Fang Kun finished speaking, he turned around and left. Li Jie was a little confused. It wasn't until he saw Fang Yi in the hospital that he realized why Fang Kun looked unhappy and felt sorry for his sister.
Fang Yi turned around when she heard the door opening, and smiled when she saw Li Jie: "Sir, you are back. There is always hot water in the room, just in time to wash away the smell of alcohol. Please drink less in the future.
"
Li Jie said: "Well, thank you. Don't wait for me so late in the future. It's getting late. Go and rest early."
Fang Yi nodded, then turned around and went back to his room to rest.
The next day, after breakfast, Lin Zhennan asked Li Jie to follow him to the side hall, and then asked: "Pingzhi, do you know the Lianjiang Lin family?"
Li Jie nodded: "I know, the leader of the Spring and Autumn House in this provincial examination is from the Lin family of Lianjiang, and his talent and learning are outstanding. What's wrong?"
Lin Zhennan pondered for a moment and said: "Your great-grandfather Yuantugong actually came from the imperial family of the Lin family in Lianjiang. For some reason, he escaped into Buddhism. I don't know the specific reason. After returning to secular life, he never returned to the family. Later, he became a monk.
In our branch, a clan elder came to our door yesterday and planned to let us return to the clan, what do you think?"
Li Jie was very surprised when he heard the news. He didn't expect Lin Yuantu to have such a connection with the Lin family of Lianjiang. However, if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible. In the original work, Lin Yuantu understood the obscure Sunflower Book at a glance.
He was also able to draw inferences from one instance, which would have been impossible without profound knowledge. In addition, his master was the abbot of Southern Shaolin, and it was not surprising that he was from the Lianjiang Lin family.
Li Jie turned to ask: "Is it because I won the election?"
Lin Zhennan nodded awkwardly: "Yes, you happen to be of the same generation as Lin Tingang. The main reason why the Yuzifang clan came here this time is for you. He promised that once we return to the family, Yuzifang will devote all his efforts to his career.
I will fully support you and make your career career smoother."
Li Jie had no obsession with whether to return to his family, but when he saw Lin Zhennan's desire to return to his family during the conversation, he couldn't bear to refuse. On second thought, with the help of his family, the future would be brighter.
Lin Han, the current leader of the Lianjiang Lin family, has a wide network of friends and has won the trust of Emperor Hongzhi. He is about to be promoted to the Imperial Academy for his merits in compiling "Xianzong Shilu".
The Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine is the principal of the Imperial Academy. From the fourth rank, generally those who step into the fourth rank are senior officials. Moreover, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine is very noble. The Ming Dynasty paid great attention to the Imperial Academy's academic officers and gave them preferential treatment in promotions.
In the future, when you enter the officialdom, having such a clan uncle to help you will save you a lot of detours.
After thinking about it, Li Jie said: "Children obey the decisions of their parents!"
Lin Zhennan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Jie was not against returning to the family. Since childhood, his grandfather had often expressed his desire to return to the family in his words, but he really had no face to go back and had been waiting for the family's call.
However, he never waited. Until his death, he was still thinking about entering the ancestral hall after death. Fortunately, he could finally return to the family in a legitimate way. Although Lin Zhennan was a little uncomfortable with the family's actions, he suppressed his desire to return to the clan.
A trace of displeasure deep in my heart.
Linpu Village is adjacent to the Lianjiang River, a tributary of the Minjiang River, to the north. It has a long history and is very famous in the local area. The famous "Lianjiang Academy" is located here, and its culture and education are very developed. A few days later, Lin Zhennan's family came to their ancestral home.
He was very calm, but he was very excited in his heart. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he could no longer hold back his passionate emotions and burst into tears in his eyes.
Standing at the entrance of the village was a vigorous old man, skinny, wearing a blue Confucian robe, with gray hair on his temples, and elegant temperament. When he saw the three members of the Lin family, he said with a smile: "Welcome home! This old man is a contemporary emperor.
At the head of Zifang, other clan members are at the ancestral hall, please follow me."
Moisturized by the river breeze, you enter Linpu Village along the streets paved with bluestones. The simple and neat houses extend along the streets to the ancestral hall in the center of the village. The ancestral hall covers an extremely large area. At this time, everyone gathered in front of the ancestral hall looked solemn.
, not at all noisy due to the large number of people.
Lin Zhennan stopped in front of the door of the ancestral hall, reached out and gently brushed the red paint on the door, and then led Mrs. Wang and Li Jie to respectfully bow three times and nine times in front of the door. After paying homage, they entered the ancestral hall.
All the important people from the six houses of the Lin family, namely, "Li, Yue, Shooting, Yu, Shu, and Shu", were present. They attached great importance to Li Jie's return to the family. The thirteen-year-old Juren had never been born in the family before.
What's more, Li Jie also studied under the Lingnan scholar Chen Xianzhang, which was enough for the whole family to take this ancestor recognition ceremony seriously.
A month ago, Lin Han, who was far away in the capital, sent a special message to express his welcome and said that Li Jie must stay at his place during the audition.
The ceremony was presided over by a highly respected elder of the Lin family, who shouted: "The Lin Yuan branch of Yuzifang has been away from home since the 21st generation, and now they can return to the family!"
"The ancestor recognition ceremony officially begins!"
…………
After a lot of tedious etiquette, the ancestor recognition ceremony was finally completed. At the moment the ceremony ended, Lin Zhennan burst into tears and was as happy as a child. Li Jie was in it, and the solemn atmosphere around him made him feel that the ancients really valued the clan. The whole
During the ceremony, even the young children present looked solemn and did not dare to disturb the ancestor's spiritual place.
Walking out of the ancestral hall, Lin Rong, the head of the Yuzifang, introduced some of the younger generations of the family to Li Jie, intending to let them try to go together. In addition to Lin Tingang at the Luming Banquet before, there was also Lin Rong, the clan uncle of the Yuzifang.
Lan and Lin Lan also rushed back from the capital. Lin Lan and Lin Zhennan are the same generation according to their seniority, but they are not very old, only in their thirties, so there is no obstacle in communication.
