Chapter 148 The Sickly Villain in a Female-dominated World 19
Yuyang County Government Office
Lin Qingrong looked at the several letters in his hand. His elder sister's letter was just about family matters as usual, but Yong'er recorded her experiences and insights in Shiyuan Village. It seemed that she had made great progress.
The lady put the letter aside, took out a few sheets of paper from the thick envelope, and unfolded it - "Chen's General Writings". She paused, Chen, could it be Qing'er's new husband?
With a sneer on her face, she chewed over the entire text several times, and her eyes became brighter and brighter. The truth is simple, and although the text is not ornate in words, it reads as easy to understand as a child's song, but it covers politics, literature, history, law, the origin of mythology, and moral ethics. It is truly a rare text.
As for the threshing box that the magistrate of Qingchi County presented a few days ago, Lin Hengrong smiled slightly. It was just a child's playful work and it was not worthy of being presented in a formal hall. With this article, if Qing'er could work on it carefully, he might be able to become a hermit.
By then, they will be relying on the power of the Tang family. With Yong'er serving as an official in the court and in charge of the overall situation, and with Qing'er lying on the stone and rinsing his mouth with the stream, the three generations of the Lin family will have nothing to worry about.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly dipped her brush in ink and wrote a letter to Mr. Lin, explaining everything clearly. She was not worried about whether it would succeed or not. Man proposes, God disposes. As the leader of this generation of the Lin family, she has lived up to her ancestors.
At this time, the Lin Mansion welcomed several uninvited guests.
Hearing that a classmate was visiting him, Lin Qing was startled, and from the corners of his mind he dug out memories of the three people in front of him.
In short, they are A, the perennial runner-up, B, the playboy, and A and C, the passers-by.
Lin Qing: …………
The original owner is really innocent.
Seeing this proud son of heaven in the past, Wang Junran couldn't help but sigh that things have changed and people have changed, and things don't always go as planned.
"Mr. Lin, long time no see. Are you doing well?"
Lin Qing returned the greeting: "Greetings, Mr. Wang, Mr. Cheng, and Mr. Xu."
"It has been three years since we last met. I heard that you were getting better recently, so I came to visit you." Wang Junran bowed.
"Okay, Brother Wang, stop being so rude. We've been in the county school for five or six years. Don't you know what kind of people this family is?" Cheng Yuyun rolled her eyes. "I came here today just to see how you're doing. You look pretty good."
There was a hint of regret in his tone.
The servants in the Lin residence all looked unhappy when they heard this. Do these people have a grudge against the young master?
"Brother Cheng, this is too unreasonable." Xu Xu, who was wearing an old robe, squeezed out a few words.
"Oh, who do you think you are? If it weren't for the purpose of meeting Master Xu, why would you be here pretending to be talking about our friendship as classmates?" Cheng Yuyun sneered. She was most impatient with the hypocritical preaching among scholars.
Xu Xu's face suddenly turned purple, then red and then blue, and he felt mixed emotions. He felt that he was not as talented as others in studying, and it took him three years to pass the exams before he could barely get the title of scholar. He heard that Xu Ju was a teacher here, so he took this risk.
The three of them knew the truth, but Cheng Yuyun tore her face into pieces and stomped on it, which was really hateful.
"Mr. Cheng! Brother Xu!" Seeing that things were not going well, Wang Junran gritted his teeth and apologized under Lin Qing's playful gaze: "Mr. Lin, please forgive me. These two had some conflicts a few days ago, so I was a little bold in my words today."
Lin Qing raised her eyebrows. As expected of one of the heroine's younger brothers in the early days, her eyesight and tact were beyond words. She smiled calmly, "It's okay, but Brother Xu came to ask Master Xu for advice, and Brother Cheng came to see my current situation. I wonder why Brother Wang came?"
There was a hint of amusement in these words. Wang Junran's scalp tingled. He felt that it was not a good day to travel. Simply everything was going wrong.
She took a deep breath and pulled out a few manuscripts from her bosom. "This article has been popular in the county recently. Many schools use it to educate children. I heard that the Tongwen Pian was written by you, so I came to find you."
"You've found the right person." Lin Rong, who had rushed over after hearing that her sister was bullied, said loudly. She couldn't help but feel a liking for the gentle and refined woman in front of her.
"Chen's Tongwenpian was written by my elder sister. How is it? Isn't it full of pearls of wisdom and brilliant writing? It is so enjoyable to read and makes people applaud..."
Seeing that the heroine was about to talk nonstop again, Lin Qing felt helpless. She cleared her throat and said, "Sister Yong!"
Sister? Wang Junran's eyes flashed with a hint of joy. Could this be the daughter of the Lord of the Mansion? She straightened her robes and said, "Indeed, the more I read this article, the more I find it ingenious. At first glance, it seems simple, as if it was written casually, but only after reading it carefully can I see the ingenuity in it."
"Is that so?" Lin Yong's eyes lit up, as if she had found a soulmate. The longer she stayed with her sister, the more she felt that the saying "God is jealous of talented people" was true. God made her weak because he was jealous of her sister's talent. Otherwise, how could her sister be confined to this small village.
The two of them quickly started chatting together, praising the manuscript of "Tongwenpian" in every way. Even when the servants came to invite Lin Yong to sit down, he was still not satisfied.
Looking at the two people who were oblivious to the world around them, Lin Qing smiled and shook his head, making a gesture of invitation: "Brother Cheng, Brother Xu, it seems that Brother Wang has achieved what he wanted. You two might as well come with me to see the scenery of this mansion, which is also a unique and wild fun."
Cheng Yuyun snorted coldly and walked ahead with big strides, making the two people behind her seem like her servants.
Lin Qing smiled, and then he heard Xu Xu's whisper: "Brother Lin, what Brother Cheng said just now is exactly what I was thinking. I wasted several years before I passed the examination and became a scholar last year. This time I came here to find a teacher..."
"Brother Xu, I have rarely studied the way of science since I became seriously ill three years ago." Lin Qing looked at the embarrassed woman in front of him, "Master Xu was invited by my mother specially for Rongjun. He will go back to the city with her before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'm sorry that I can't do anything for you."
Xu Xu stood stiffly in the corridor for a while, and then said stiffly: "In this case, I will take my leave first and visit you another day."
Lin Qing did not stay long. He watched her back with a smile, then quietly arranged for his servants to drive a ox cart to take her home.
But when Xu Xu left the Lin Mansion, he let out a long breath. He secretly hated himself for having an inferior family background, and at the same time he felt sad that no one recognized his talent. When he saw the servants from the mansion driving to see him off, he was overwhelmed with emotions and got into the car with his face covered.
"Oh, you also know how to pretend." Cheng Yuyun looked at Lin Qing in surprise and sneered, "Why don't you say that she is dull and not a good student?"
So this is the root of the problem. Lin Qing sorted out his thoughts and said calmly, "Is what I said false? Brother Cheng is not a scholar."
"You!" Cheng Yuyun was stunned at first, then became furious. Then he thought that the person in front of him was a real sickly person, like a paper lantern that would fall down if the wind blew. It was really not a good idea to take action, and it was not a good idea not to take action.
"You have studied hard for nearly twenty years but have not passed the Tongsheng exam. Does Brother Cheng have the talent to study?" Lin Qing asked back, "But I really envy Brother Cheng."
Cheng Yuyun: ???
"Although Brother Cheng has no talent for studying, his family is harmonious, his parents love him, and he is in good health so he can travel around. Although his family is not wealthy, they have no worries about food and clothing, and are one of the best families in the county."
At this point, a trace of sadness flashed across Lin Qing's thin face, and his eyes seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end he could only sigh quietly: "God is indeed fair, and whatever he gives you, he will definitely take back."
"My dear wife, lunch is ready." Chen Xi came from the corridor with two or three attendants.
Cheng Yuyun, who was already feeling uneasy, suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Lin Qing in shock as she stood weakly beside her husband. She didn't know what to feel in her heart.
How could she marry such a burly husband? Her heart was filled with sympathy for this former enemy. Sister, life is not easy!
