Weiyang of the Red Mansion

"Brother Lang, I know you are not willing to give up halfway like this, but Master Yuan is really a difficult hurdle to overcome. If you are five or six years older, you may pass the exam. I advise you to wait for Master Yuan to resign and return." Take the exam after Beijing." Seeing that Lin Lang was silent, Lin Xuan comforted her with a sigh.

"Waiting for Master Yuan to resign?" Lin Lang suddenly smiled, "Xuezheng's tenure is three years, and this is the first year for Master Yuan. The next two years will be presided over by this Master Yuan. It will take two years for him to resign. Finally, you mean to tell me to wait three years before taking the exam?"

There is no need to wait for three years, as long as he has not passed the junior high school entrance examination in August next year, he will be deprived of a talent. The deprivation of talent is said to be random, but who knows if there is anything tricky about this system?He was very suspicious, and he would never hand over his future to a system of unknown origin.

Seeing Lin Lang's insistence on this, Lin Xuan frowned slightly, "You have to take the exam this year, and you must also take the exam for the junior high school?" After a pause, "Brother Lang, you should know that Mr. Yuan is here. Very difficult."

It's not that Yuan Qian has any malice towards Lin Lang, it's just that people who cherish talents like this always have some weird quirks. For example, when Yuan Qian meets a talented person, he will make a choice according to the situation. The young ones suppress the rankings, more or less suppress the arrogance of the young people, so as not to prevent these talented young students from being arrogant and hurting Zhongyong.

And Lin Lang is one of the very few child prodigies in the past 30 or [-] years who has been the head of the county and government examinations at the age of less than ten years old. I am afraid that Lin Lang has already caught Yuan Qian's eyes, and even... that adult Maybe he has already made a choice to suppress Lin Lang's arrogance.

"I……"

Just as Lin Lang opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a surprised Lin Shen before he finished speaking. Lin Shen looked at Lin Xuan, "Brother Xuan, are you telling the truth? Brother Lang really went after Little Sanyuan? "Without waiting for Lin Xuan to answer, he took Lin Lang's arm and persuaded him, "Brother Lang, don't be too hard on yourself. With your talent, why do you have to hit the south wall now? At your current age, you will be two or three years later. Years, without any delay, "

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "I have heard of Mr. Yuan's name for a long time. With your qualifications, you must have caught his eye as soon as the results of the county examination came out. The county examination is determined by the county. Grandpa presides over it. The government examination is presided over by the magistrate of our Suzhou prefecture. They have no enmity with our Lin family. They will not deliberately lower your ranking, and they dare not give your ranking to others, but Mr. Yuan is different. He He is the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and the official residence is from the second grade. Even if the Hou Ye has not died of illness, he is not afraid of our Lin family, let alone the Hou Ye is gone now?"

Speaking of which, seeing Lin Lang's expressionless face, Lin Shen frowned, "Let's not talk about Lord Hou, let's just talk about the next hospital examination, which are all young talents from the entire Jinling Province. People who are not as knowledgeable as you, Zhong Bo, you will not get the first place in this college exam."

"Brother Shen is also right," Lin Ji sighed, "Dr. Lang was also unlucky. He wanted to pass the exam, but met Mr. Yuan."

If it were someone else, no one could take away Lin Lang's connections in terms of the connections of the Lin family. Even if there were people who did not have the same level of knowledge as Lin Lang, there would still be people who would be willing to be a favor and help Lin Lang who wanted to take the middle and junior high school exams. thought.

Lin Lang couldn't help smiling wryly when he saw several clan brothers trying to dissuade him in turn.

If possible, he has no intention of taking part in the imperial examination, but...

Thinking of the missions released by the system and the consequences of mission failures, Lin Lang really felt miserable.

"Fourth brother Shen, I understand what you said. No matter whether this little Sanyuan can pass the exam, I must take this college exam. If I fail this year, I will take the exam again next year." The implication is that if you don't pass the exam Don't give up.

Lin Shen frowned, and looked at Lin Lang puzzled, "Brother Lang, why are you so obsessed with it?"

Lin Lang: "..." It's not that I'm obsessed with obsession, it's that the system is poisonous!

"Okay, Brother Shen, don't talk about it," Lin Xuan frowned and tugged at Lin Shen, "Since Brother Lang is determined to pass the exam, he has his own considerations in mind."

Lin Shen wanted to say something, but seeing Lin Lang's expression, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Lin Xuan and the other four clan brothers did not stay for long. Seeing that Lin Lang insisted on taking the examination, they would not try to dissuade them again and again. In the final analysis, it was Lin Lang's own personal matter whether he wanted to take part or not. The tube is not that wide.

After the four clan brothers left, Lin Lang stayed quietly in the study for a while, finally heaved a sigh, and continued to think about the next courtyard exam.

He can't be planted here. If he fails this year's college entrance examination and meets Yuan Qian next year, the result will still be the same.

After that, Lin Lang didn't go out again until the courtyard examination started in August. After two or three months, only a few brothers from the Lin family came to see him.

Lin Lang took part in the August exam as scheduled, and after the exam, Liang Dong was asked to prepare his bags, and when the results of the exam came out, Lin Lang went back to Beijing directly.

He had been away from Beijing for more than half a year, and even Lin Ruhai sent several letters urging Lin Lang to return to Beijing as soon as possible. He was still young, so there was no need to force himself to take the imperial examination.

Lin Ruhai earlier thought that the family had changed so much after his father died of illness that Lin Lang devoted all his attention to the imperial examination, trying to support the door.

Now that he has been a high school student and entered the Hanlin Academy, he is valued by the emperor, and he often goes to the palace to give lectures to the emperor. He already supports the door at home, so there is no need for his young son to force him like this.

Lin Lang didn't know Lin Ruhai's thoughts, but Lin Ruhai's intention to not let him continue the exam was obvious, and he was not a fool, so why didn't he know?

"Brother Lang, you still took the hospital examination after all."

Today is August [-]th, and it is the three baptisms of Lin Jin's eldest son. Lin Lang is representing Lin Ruhai's lineage in Suzhou, so he will naturally be present.

Now that you're here, it's inevitable to mention the college exam.

Lin Lang looked at Lin Jin, who had a rosy face, and said with a smile, "Why bother to mention such irrelevant things on the day of great joy? My little brother hasn't congratulated Third Brother Jin on his happy birthday to Lin'er yet."

"Thank you Langdi. Although I don't know the result of this year's hospital examination, I wish you all the best for my brother here." Lin Jin smiled.

Lin Lang thanked him with a smile, "Did the little nephew get a name?"

"Grandfather named me Wei, what does Langdi think?"

Lin Lang smiled slightly, "My uncle is very knowledgeable, so it is good to get a name." No matter how ignorant he is, he will not express his opinions on these matters, not to mention, this name is indeed well obtained.

Lin Jin also thought the name was good, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Langdi just finished the college examination, and the baby was born safely. It seems that Wei Geer and Langdi are destined."

"Really?" Lin Lang was a little surprised when he heard the words. He returned home after the exam. Naturally, he didn't know when Lin Jin's son was born. Hearing what Lin Jin said now, he didn't think Lin Jin would joke about this kind of thing. He couldn't help laughing, "Then I'll see this little nephew who is destined for me soon."

Speaking of which, Lin Jin's son and Lin Lang are already related by Wufu, so they are no longer relatives, not even nephews.

But Lin Lang is close to these clan brothers, and he doesn't mind giving some face.

Speaking of it, it is natural that Lin Lang's branch has a higher status, after all, it is the direct branch lineage.

After attending the three baptisms of Lin Jin's eldest son, Lin Lang returned to the mansion.

The next day, the test released the rankings, and the kid who went to see the rankings ran back panting, Lin Lang suddenly became nervous, he was really worried about accidents.

He really racked his brains to answer the papers in this college exam. If he fails all these, he can't guarantee whether his confidence will be hit.

"Brother, master..." The boy gasped for breath and couldn't even change his words. Liang Dong looked on from the side and was very anxious. He poured a cup of tea and poured it down for the boy, so that the boy calmed down. , "Congratulations, sir, you are the first in the courtyard examination!"

As soon as the boy finished speaking, Lin Lang heard the long-lost voice from the system in his head.

[The first phase of the growth task has been completed, and one talent attribute is doubled, and the host can choose which attribute to double. 】【Reminder: There is only one chance to double the attribute, please seize the opportunity. 】【The second phase of the growth mission has started, the host is requested to reach the third stage within ten years. 】【Mission success: Unknown reward. 】

[Mission failure: punishment unknown. 】

Lin Lang breathed a sigh of relief. The biggest crisis at this stage has been resolved, so Lin Lang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't know why Yuan Qian didn't lower his ranking, but he didn't ask Yuan Qian what he meant either.

"Congratulations to the old man for winning the small three yuan. It's a pity that the old man didn't get to see the old man and the old man win with his own eyes. Otherwise, he doesn't know how happy he would be."

Mentioning the old man, Liang Dong had a bit of sadness in his eyes.

Although he is only a servant, but the old master Lin Ji has no direct brothers, he treats him like his own brothers, after a long time, even a dog has feelings, let alone human beings?

"Grandfather's spirit in heaven will also be happy for my father and me." Lin Lang said with a faint smile.

In fact, he doesn't have too much affection for his grandfather Lin Ji, and he doesn't know if it's because of the fusion of "previous life" memories.

Sometimes Lin Lang couldn't tell whether he was the uncle of the Lin family or Lin Lang, the prodigal son of his previous life.

"What the uncle said is that." Liang Dong nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Now that the results of the hospital examination have come out, when does the uncle plan to return to Beijing?"

Lin Lang pondered for a moment, then smiled, "Since the Dragon Boat Festival, my father has sent letters one after another. If I didn't know that my father is now on duty in the Imperial Academy and cannot leave Beijing at will, I would not dare to stay in Suzhou and not go back. Now I have Fortunately, my father will not punish me severely if I want to come back to Beijing." After a pause, "I have already packed my bags, let's start tomorrow."

It took two days to save another letter from my father.

Hearing this, Liang Dong couldn't help showing a bit of reluctance. Lin Lang lived in Suzhou's old house for more than half a year, and Liang Dong had been taking care of him all the time. After six or seven months, he was really convinced by his little master. Some are reluctant to leave Lin Lang, but he doesn't feel at ease leaving the Lin family's old house to those slippery ghosts below, otherwise he won't have the face to face the old man after going down to Jiuquan.

"I'll tell the people below to pack all their bags on the boat, and they can board the boat directly tomorrow."

Lin Lang smiled and said, "Grandpa Liang has always done things properly, I am very relieved."

This remark was very helpful to Liang Dong, and he said with a smile, "My uncle trusts this old slave, so naturally this old slave can't disappoint my uncle."

Night falls, and the sky is full of stars.

Lin Lang suddenly woke up from the dream, wiped off the dense sweat on his forehead, Lin Lang sat up, took the torch and lit the lamp, walked into the study, opened the desk drawer, and took out the scroll inside.

It was the picture of the girl in his dream, without facial features.

Lin Lang sat quietly behind the table, and after a while, he suddenly began to grind the ink, and with a few strokes, he drew the girl's facial features on the scroll.

After a long time, Lin Lang put down his pen and looked at the beautiful girl in the blue dress on the scroll, and couldn't help frowning.

He dreamed of this girl again just now, in the dream, the girl was wearing a bright red wedding dress, lying in his arms covered in blood, silently...
