Standing on the street, Lin Chang looked at the two big stone lions in front of Lin's mansion for a long time, then turned his eyes to the seven or eight small servants standing upright guarding the gate, looked at them one by one, and finally turned around and got in the car to go home, pretending not to see them. The coachman who came over as a dowry of the Xia family had a meaningful look in his eyes.

There are still four days...the rankings will be released in four days...

Lin Changyi was trembling all over in the car, his hands clenched into fists and raised.

No, there are people from the Xia family outside, if there is any movement, the Xia family should know within half an hour.

Lin Chang had no choice but to gently put down his hands, and closed his eyes tightly.

Then what should he do with his anger?Scatter anywhere?

No, no.No matter where you go, you will inevitably spend money.The scattered silver that he carries with him now is all arranged by Mrs. Xia for him, usually if there is something wrong with it, Mrs. Xia has to ask for it.

It costs money to go to teahouses and restaurants, but to sit at a classmate's house, can you still be empty-handed?He also has a private house of several hundred taels, which are mostly large ingots of silver, which are stored in the study, and Xia Shi has never known about it, so it is not easy to spend it.

Once there is less money in the purse, Xia should ask him: "Didn't you say that you went to the Duke's mansion? Why? If you didn't go, you can go home. I don't have anything at home. Do you have to go outside? I'm a tiger. Can I eat it, sir?"

Although the Xia clan is not a tiger, and his words and actions are not like a Hedong lion, but it just makes him feel more and more uncomfortable!

All the big and small things about him, every single one, are all in Mrs. Xia's hands!

Lin Chang suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at it now, it looks like Xia is the husband and he is the wife!Why should he, as a husband, obey his wife everything?It's really against ethics!

The closer he was to home, the more irritable Lin Chang felt.

He entered the March Examination, and the master of the Imperial College said that he is only four or five points sure this time, even if he wins, he is only a top three. If you are not in a hurry, it is better to wait for a few years, and then take part in the exam, and you will be a top two in one fell swoop. better.

But Lin Chang refused to accept it.

Although he knew somewhat in his heart that he was not extremely talented, and his aptitude was only above average, but he had studied hard in Lin's residence for three years, and he won the examination at the age of 17. Over the past few years, he had heard a lot of praise, how could he Are you willing to become an ordinary person when you get to the exam?

He is 27 this year. If Mr. Zhenyi said that he will be [-] years old after two subjects, which is not two years away from [-].

There are so many people in the world who are [-] and [-]A!

Being an official depends on your performance, but it also depends on your age.You become a governor at the age of 60, and he is a governor in his forties. When the Holy Majesty wants to promote a person, he should first see if he is young and strong and can do it for 30 to [-] years, or if he is old and weak, and he will be in five or eight years. Buried?

Second, he really couldn't wait.

Last year Lin Ling also won the Juren, although his ranking was not as high as him, he was 46th in Jiangsu, Lin Ling was only in the 17s and could hardly hang at the bottom of the list, but last year Lin Ling was only [-] years old!

Wait another five or six years, maybe he hasn't passed the exam yet, but with the help of the Duke's Mansion, Lin Ling will pass first!

The Lin family has to be crowned Duke, and Miss Lian is the niece of the Duke's family. Even if she wants to inherit an heir and recruit a son-in-law, she will definitely not look for a white body again.

Although Miss Lian had nothing to do with him long ago, Lin Chang felt extremely embarrassed when he thought that when Miss Lian got married, he would still be a young man.

Three, there is a Xia Shi at home staring at him...

So Lin Chang worked hard, and didn't even put down his books for the New Year, just to make sure that this year's meeting will be better.

But after three exams, Lin Chang was not sure that he would pass the test papers with his classmates.

...It's not as good as the four or five points that Mr. said.

Just three points.

Since he left the examination room, his parents asked him three times a day how he did in the examination and whether he was sure he would pass.

Although Mrs. Xia didn't ask directly, her maids—especially Baochan—nearly whispered in his ears, saying, "If Master wins, Grandma will be blessed."

What can he say that he is not sure about?Mrs. Xia seemed to see that he had no idea, and said to the girls with a smile: "Master, I just finished the exam. I have been busy for so many days, and I have something on my mind, and I am tired. Don't talk nonsense, you idiots. Don't get me wrong." In the middle of the month, don’t you know it on the first day of April?”

Although Xia Shi seemed to be speaking for him, he always felt that Xia Shi's smile contained a little irony.

That night, the Xia family said again: "Master, I heard the other day that Duke Chu is back?"

He was impatient and reluctant to answer, so he only vaguely said yes.

The Xia family said: "Master, I'm not talking nonsense, even if something happened before, you and Chu Guogong have the same clan feelings after all. Not to mention that you have studied in the Lin Mansion for three years. It’s even more different from ordinary people.”

He was really annoyed, so he held back his breath and said, "What exactly is grandma going to say?"

Xia smiled at him, and said: "It's nothing. I just thought that the younger sister has not been raised by the Duke's wife, and the people of the Lin family are so affectionate to her. Last year, my mother was ill, and she never recovered. Chen Didn't Nanny and Ming Er's sister-in-law follow my sister to see it?"

"Not to mention that the uncle was taught by the Duke himself, so he is naturally closer than the younger sister. I shouldn't have said that as a daughter-in-law about the previous incident, but in the final analysis, it was because my parents didn't think carefully about it." , offended the Duke and Madam."

"Father and mother are of the same generation as the Duke and his wife, but the uncle is a junior in front of the Duke and his wife. In this world, if the juniors do something wrong, the elders will naturally be angry and punished, but after the punishment has passed , aren’t you still making out as usual? Not to mention, it’s not the uncle’s fault.”

What Xia said made Lin Chang feel a little relieved, and she went on to say: "Now that the Duke is back, he hasn't returned to Beijing for several years, so he naturally misses his homeland. If the uncle sincerely comes to the door at this time to admit his mistake and apologize, say Maybe it's over?"

"Actually, I have selfish intentions when I talk to you about this." Xia said with a smile all over her face: "You don't have any relatives in the officialdom, and my family only has money and no contacts. Actually, I can't help you much. But if you have The relationship between the Duke's Mansion..."

Lin Chang was overwhelmed by what he said at that time, so he asked, "Then what do you think should be done?"

Xia family just smiled: "How about we choose an auspicious day, I will prepare a gift for the uncle, and the uncle will come to have a look?"

Lin Chang was afraid that the Duke and his wife would lose face if they didn't see him, and he was also moved by Xia Shi's words.Besides, he is really not sure about this subject, if he can climb up to the Duke's Mansion again...

He thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

The Xia family prepared a generous gift for him, and Lin Chang took the car to pick up the gift post, but he didn't even confiscate the gift at the door, only saying that the master and wife were not at home and saw no guests.

He said he wanted to see Lin Ming, but the door said that the second master was also busy and not free.

He also said that he wanted to see Xing'er, but the people at the door wouldn't let him, they only said that Miss Xing was the daughter of the boudoir, if there was no wife to speak, they wouldn't dare to let the outsider in?

What?He is Miss Xing's brother?

That's not OK!It's Miss Xing's dear father who is here, if you can't enter, you can't enter!

Lin Chang almost fell on his back in anger, but he didn't dare to do anything in front of the Lin residence.He swallowed his anger, and said that he would come next time, and he wanted to give money to the gatekeeper.

But those little boys and servants who respected him four or five years ago are now stern and unselfish, and they don't want anything or money, they just tell him to go home quickly.

Lin Chang touched his nose and went home. When he saw Mrs. Xia, he thought it was her bad idea, so he lost his lord today, and he didn't speak well to Mrs. Xia.

Xia Shi was not annoyed, and comforted him with gentle words, saying that the Duke and his wife had just returned, so naturally there were many things to be busy, and it was right to go out or entertain guests.

As for those little servants and male servants, they probably changed after a round, and they don't remember them anymore.The next time she finds out when the Duke and Madam are at home, he will go there again.If you still can't get angry, madam, tell me a few words, those servants can still have good fruit to eat?

There are still many words left, and Lin Chang's heart is restored and peaceful.

On this day, the Xia family found out that the Duke of Chu had gone out, but his wife was at home, and there were no guests at the house, so he prepared a courtesy to let Lin Chang go.

Xia's meaning is that Madam is a woman after all, so her heart is probably softer, the Duke is not at home, just begging Madam.

However, Lin Chang knew that his wife was in charge of everything in Lin's mansion, and if the members of the Lin family had ten points of respect for the Duke, they would have twelve points for his wife.

He told Xia family this, and cited many examples from the Lin family, but Xia family did not believe it.

She showed that look of disdain again, raised her eyebrows and smiled and said: "If the uncle really doesn't want to go, then let's just not go. After all, if I get ridiculed again when I get there, even I will feel bad."

Lin Chang got angry, he didn't want to be underestimated by the Xia family, so he turned around and went out.

This time in front of the Lin residence, he clearly stated that he knew his wife was at home.The boys went in to report, and he waited for half a day, but what he got was that kind of words.

"If you dare to do anything, you will disregard the feelings of your fellow clan."

A sneer appeared on Lin Chang's face, his expression ferocious.

Why, does the Duke still think that he cares about the affection of his fellow clan?

If it was really Gu Nian, he shouldn't have been kicked out of the house because of a girl picked up from outside!

Miss Lian is good, but he won the Juren at the age of 17, isn't it good?Why should they abandon him and choose Miss Lian!Even if the engagement was terminated and Miss Lian entered the family tree, do you have to deny him entry?

Even Xing'er... Xing'er is not as good as Miss Lian.The Xia family is naturally 1 and can't compare to Miss Lian, but if you really want to say, Xing'er's appearance is not as good as Xia's, and her background is not as high as Xia's. How can the Lin family treat Xing'er better than him?

Lin Chang returned home full of anger, no matter what happened to Mrs. Xia, he didn't even look at her, and fell on the bed without saying a word.

And Xia Jingui, looking at him like this, knew without anyone saying that Lin Chang had run into trouble in the Lin Mansion again and came back.

Xia Jingui didn't care about him, and sat alone on the porch, sneering in his heart: "What kind of thing is he, mother still treats him as a treasure?"

"So what about a 17-year-old Juren? He's not good enough. Didn't he fail the exam twice? He has a good relative. Unfortunately, he offended him to the death. It seems that he has lost all hope."

"It's a pity that all the money that my mother spent was in vain. It depends on the face of this bastard."

Thinking of this, Xia Jingui pursed her lips, got up and walked into the house, leaning against the door of the bedroom and said with a smile: "I found out something new today, do you want to hear it, sir?"

"I heard today that the cousin of the Duke of Chu's mansion is getting married!"

Lin Chang was motionless on the bed, but Xia Jingui knew that he must be listening.

She took two steps forward, shook her handkerchief and smiled: "As for me, I have heard the name of Duke Chu's mansion for a long time, and I respect it deeply. I heard that it was a happy event for his girl, so I asked more."

"I heard that this cousin girl is a fourth-rank commander in Bohai. Her surname is Liu. She is only 22 years old this year, and she is already a general."

When Lin Chang heard the word "Liu", for some reason, he thought of the Mr. Liu who taught them martial arts in the Lin residence five years ago.

Is it him?

No, it's impossible, it can't be this empty-looking slutty brother.

"I also heard that this General Liu used to be a martial arts teacher in Lin's residence. He not only taught Chu Guogong how to practice martial arts, but also taught the young masters at home. Somehow, this Mr. Liu went to the northwest to join the army. Go, vote under Duke Liang's command."

"I don't know if the uncle recognizes this General Liu? I think the uncle should recognize it. Now there are rumors outside that General Liu Yushu Linfeng is handsome and handsome, young and promising, and the girl in the palace is a perfect match."

"Besides, General Liu is a man of temperament, and loves the cousin of the palace very much. He is already a general, and he is willing to pass on an heir to Miss Lian's family. His love is stronger than gold."

The author has something to say:

Xia Jingui: Uncle, do you like listening to stories told by my concubine?
