Chapter 140 Untitled Draft



When the county magistrate's wife found out that her daughter had gone out several times to find a man, the key point was that the man was not interested in her.

I was so angry that I didn't know what to say.

Should I scold my daughter for having no vision, or should I scold the man for having no vision?

She was really pissed off.

But she also has her rationality and will not blame others. She just wonders why her daughter is like this...

When the county magistrate came home in the evening, the couple was talking about this matter.

"Master, what do you think we should do? I heard that guy is just a waiter who helps his brother run errands and doesn't even have a legitimate business."

County Magistrate Lu Changzhou also had a headache after hearing this, wondering why his children's marriages were so unsuccessful.

Just as the county magistrate wanted to find a concubine for his son, his daughter immediately fell in love with a country boy with no means of livelihood.

"What else can I do? I'll send someone to check it out tomorrow. If it's really that bad, I absolutely disagree.

I heard that guy saved Hsinchu. If we have time, we can go and thank him in person. That will be enough."

His wife, Zeng, had no good solution for the time being and could only listen to her husband.

"Oh well."

The next day, people from the county magistrate's office came back to report the news they had learned.

County Magistrate Lu was even more troubled after hearing this.

What's wrong with his daughter's eyes? The third child of the Lin family is definitely better than the second child, right?

Why did he fall for the most unremarkable Lin Lao Er?

Compared to the second child, the third child is much better.

You must have good looks and be knowledgeable.

Ouch, I can’t think about it. It gives me a headache.

So the couple couldn't come up with any good ideas and could only sigh face to face.

I thought I'd just drag it out. My daughter didn't say anything, and the other party didn't seem to be very interested in their daughter, so I just dragged it out.

Lin Jiang had no idea what happened in the Lu Mansion. He had been very busy every day recently.

I don’t know if the person Qu Xiangbai found was too stupid, he couldn’t write or carve the words well.

In his opinion, these people were not as useful as his third brother who came to help him.

Lin He had nothing to do after the exams in the past few days, so he followed Lin Jiang around and helped him.

And he was particularly interested in printing.

Just seven days after Lin He finished the exam, a bailiff from the county government finally came to report the news. Lin He passed the exam and became a scholar.

The two people who came this time were the same ones who came three months ago.

Li Yu's family is naturally not stingy, and the red envelope is even bigger than last time.

The two who were happy praised Li Yu for his ability to teach his son, and then praised Lin He for his intelligence.

The whole family was very happy, except Lin He, who was the calmest one. He seemed to be sure that he would win.

The ranking was 34th, not high, but not last either.

This was already a big surprise for Li Yu's family.

For those who have taken exams for several years or even decades, they are like geniuses.

Next, Li Yu agreed to Old Man Lin’s request to host a banquet to entertain the villagers.

She waved her hand and closed both stores for three days and went back to the village!

Even Lin Ziran and his family took leave and returned to the village.

By the time they bought vegetables and meat and pulled two large carts back, the villagers had obviously already heard the news.

I followed the car all the way from the village entrance just to witness the scholar's demeanor.

People used to joke around, but now it’s just cautious flattery.

This shows the gap between scholars and students.

When Lin He was surrounded by a group of people and arrived at the door of the old house, Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin were already waiting there.

The wool factory was not open today, so Lin Jie was at home.

As soon as everyone reached the door, he started setting off a long string of firecrackers.

"Welcome back home, Mr. Scholar."

Lin He, who always behaves maturely, suddenly couldn't hold back when he heard these words.

"Fifth brother, stop joking and just call me the same as before."

"That's right, even if he wins the top prize, he is still your brother and a member of our Lin family."

Li Yu spoke up to help him out.

"Come in, come in. What are you all doing standing at the door?"

Mrs. Zhong quickly invited everyone into the house.

"Look how many people are gathered at the gate, giving people a tour?"

The old lady was so happy that she kept holding Lin He's hand and never let go since she entered the door.

After everyone entered the house, Lin Ziran, who had been silent all the time, spoke.

"I never thought that our Lin family would produce a scholar. It feels like a dream. You don't know that when I got the news yesterday, Boss Jiang's attitude towards me was completely different.

It turns out that only by studying can we country people succeed in life."

Indeed, country people have no capital to start a business, are illiterate, and have no experience. The only way for them to venture out is to work as laborers.

Reading is the only way to change your destiny.

"What are your plans next?"

Uncle Lin asked at this time.

"Now that I've passed the exam and become a scholar, do I still have to take the exam?"

"Yes, but the imperial examination is in three years, so I want to find a college to study in. My teacher also supports it."

Old Man Lin had no objection. They were just country folk and didn't know as much as the gentleman did.

Seeing that they couldn't help Lin He with his studies, everyone wanted to do their best at this banquet.

A group of people began to discuss the menu for the next day.

After all the preparations for the banquet were discussed, Old Man Lin spoke.

"You've made something of yourself now. Go burn some incense for your father this afternoon."

Lin He had no objection to this matter, and Li Yu would not object either.
