Liao Zhai's Refining God

Chapter 102
"Miss, let me tell you, men should learn some boxing skills. When they meet these rascals, they will be like the master, talking about sage books all day long, saying, "A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, a villain is a metaphor for profit, and a gentleman should be generous." , treat money like dung, and only then can we understand righteousness, debate right and wrong, and shape character. I don’t know what the truth is, but the huge family property is lost, let’s go drink the northwest wind. We should be like the second young master, standing upright, fisting Let's play night, little poppi." Xiaotao ran back and answered after hearing Wang Zhi's words.

"Don't talk nonsense, don't teach your second young master badly. The right way is to study well." Wang Zhi stopped Xiaotao and said.

"Lin'er, you must be tired after walking such a long distance, go to the main hall to rest first." Wang Zhi looked at Wang Lin pityingly and said.

"Okay!" Wang Lin nodded, glanced at these rogues randomly and said, "Give me all honestly."

The rogues were so frightened that they nodded and said yes. The scene just now was like a ghost. They rushed up and were sent flying out by the invisible air current.So obediently cooperate, Xiaotao recorded it, and they made bets one by one.

Wang Lin put the bookcase on the stone table in the courtyard, and strolled in the large courtyard to watch it. The courtyard is huge, and each small courtyard is equipped with a small garden, carved beams and painted buildings, towers and pavilions row upon row.But at this time, all the plants in the flower garden were dug up, and a large number of vegetables were planted. It was early spring, and there were many seasonal vegetables in the vegetable garden, which Wang Lin knew, such as spinach and garlic sprouts.

Obviously, after the outside fields were occupied, the family could only rely on growing vegetables to feed themselves.Wang Lin suddenly felt very sad. Before Wang Zhi got married, although the two siblings were not welcome, they never went to work in the fields, and her sister Wang Zhi also studied since she was a child. I heard from Aunt Cui that her knowledge It is also very good, and has been praised by Wang Xiuyuan many times, but unfortunately it is only because her daughter cannot take the imperial examination.

"Xiao Tao, do we still have white noodles at home? Lin'er likes to eat the hand-rolled noodles I made the most." Wang Zhi said in a low voice after dismissing those rogues.

"Miss, the rice noodles have been out of stock for three days. The rice grain business outside has deliberately raised the price, which is three times higher than the usual price. It's all because of the generosity of the previous master. The servant who left my house gave too much to settle down. Money All gone.

In the past few months, Ms. and Mrs. Wang couldn’t bear it anymore. Every time I secretly went to Aunt Li’s house to borrow food. Last time those rogues found out and went to Aunt Li’s house to threaten them. Aunt Li’s house didn’t dare to secretly give us food anymore.I don't dare to tell the young lady about these things in detail, for fear that the young lady will get angry, and now I can't do it anymore, I really have no choice. "Xiaotao said.

"There is also a jade hairpin in my dowry. You can take it with you and sneak out to the rice store through the back door, and exchange it for some white noodles at the price he set. Don't let the second young master see it." Wang Zhi paused for a moment and said.

"Miss, didn't you say that this jasper hairpin is the only relic Madam left you, how can you replace it?" Xiaotao said.

"Money and wealth are things outside the body. If a person is safe, he should be content. Go, Lin'er finally came here." Wang Zhi sighed.

"Yeah!" Xiao Tao lowered her head and wiped her tears as she hurriedly walked away.

"Pfft!" Wang Lin's ears are so keen, if she wanted to hear, she might be able to hear all the wind and grass in the whole compound clearly. The two of them were less than 200 meters away from Wang Lin, so they could hear clearly.In a fit of anger, he crushed the bluestone in the corridor he was holding into fine powder.

"My lord, which village chief didn't come with the paperwork, but left the town instead, and seems to be heading towards the direction of Jinhua Prefecture. Do you want a servant to stop him halfway?" A soul thought from the green flute passed into Wang Lin's ear and said .When the chief left earlier, the green flute had already followed, and now he came back to report.

"No, I heard that his brother-in-law is the helmsman of the boat gang, so it looks like that's his reliance. Previously, he thought that the misfortune of the Yun family was caused by Yun Yitian and Hu Qinghua's viciousness, and had nothing to do with the boat gang. Now it seems that the boat gang is not clean Now that I have offended the boat gang, I have to get rid of it. I also took this opportunity to test whether the identity jade badge given to me by the boat gang works; I have to take this opportunity to rectify the boat gang so that it cannot become a disaster for Jinhua Mansion." Wang Lin His face was cold.

"Yes!" Green Flute said.

"You follow Xiaotao to deal with it!" Wang Lin said.

"Your servant understands!" The green flute turned into a whirlwind and flew out, chasing after Xiaotao.

"Lin'er, go see your brother-in-law!" Wang Zhi came over and called Wang Lin.She also deliberately wanted to distract Wang Lin and let Xiaotao slip out to buy food.

"Good!" Wang Lin nodded.

Ning Caichen was not in the front yard, but in the backyard study.The Ning family's study room is very large, a three-story wooden building. After entering the study room, Wang Lin was surprised. It is no exaggeration to describe it as "a building full of sweat and cattle". The study room has three floors, and each room is estimated to be seventy to eighty square meters , Neatly filled with rosewood bookshelves, all of them are books.

Ning Caichen was studying in the study on the third floor. The window of the study was facing Huiyun Mountain. At a glance, the mountains were undulating and the scenery was beautiful. Studying here is really a pleasure in the world.It can also be seen from this that the Ning family was quite brilliant back then.

"Sir, my younger brother Wang Lin came to visit us specially after taking the government examination!" The two walked up to the third floor of the wooden building, and Wang Lin heard the sound of reading aloud, as if he was reading a poem. everything.So much so that when the two came upstairs, Wang Zhi greeted him three times but did not wake him up.

"Handsome, really handsome!" When Wang Lin came, she always had a portrait of Ning Caichen in her mind, more like comparing the appearance of the heroine in the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" in her previous life, but when she saw Ning Caichen in front of her, I feel that the faces of the protagonists in the movies and TV shows in the previous life are scum.The person in front of him, with a slender and stylish body, a gentle and slightly cold temperament, would definitely be a killer of women in his previous life.

There was tenderness in Wang Zhi's eyes, as if she couldn't bear to disturb Ning Caichen, she smiled apologetically at Wang Lin.Wang Lin waved her hand to signal that she didn't need to disturb her, and then began to browse the books on the third shelf.

"Your brother is coming, but I didn't inform you in advance. I'm so rude to greet you." After reading a poem, Ning Caichen suddenly woke up from the mood. After Wang Zhi whispered the previous sentence, Ning Caichen came over and bowed in salute.

Originally, Wang Lin wanted to question Ning Caichen, but he couldn't even keep his own family property, let his sister suffer, let those rogues bully him, is he still a man!But after seeing Ning Caichen and seeing Wang Zhi's eyes, Wang Lin suddenly didn't want to talk about these things. The man in front of her was a man who lived in a poetic and picturesque way, living in the country and society, and he didn't eat the fireworks of the world.If I mention these things, I will fall into the inferior vehicle, and I feel that I am a bit vulgar.

"Brother, you are being polite!" Wang Lin bowed.

"My dear brother, tell me about this year's exam questions." Ning Caichen stopped Wang Lin and said.

Wang Lin smiled slightly and explained the test questions one by one.Under Ning Caichen's questioning, he answered his scriptures and righteousness, and talked about the situation of Zhengqi song writing.

"The classics and meanings can only be of moderate quality, and the style of writing is acceptable, but the intention is not high. It is only a small way to convey the holy meaning and bring peace to the people. It is the high theory to establish the foundation of the eternal world and open up the prosperity of the world. As for your poem, you can get it." First-class, high-minded, good Cifu, it is really a top-notch work, and I can’t do such Cifu for my brother. Therefore, this year’s government examination, you should be able to be a scholar.” After listening to Wang Lin’s introduction, Ning Caichen said .

"Msister, is this true? Lin'er was able to pass the examination of the scholar! It's really great." Wang Zhi burst into tears with joy, as if she had no doubts in Ning Caichen's judgment.
