Lin Qing and Lin Ze quickly packed up their things and got off the boat with their servants while the four officers were yelling to report to the officials, so as not to be accidentally implicated later.
They don't want to be the object of being watched!
Just as Lin Qing and Lin Ze took people off the boat, they saw an acquaintance coming up to them.
It was the servant that Shen Ru had brought with her before. When she saw Lin Qing, the servant hurriedly saluted Lin Qing, and then said, "Young Master Lin, little Shen Shuang, I have seen you. Tell the younger one to wait for the young master here, the young one has already prepared the carriage, and please invite the young master to get on the carriage."
Lin Qing helped Shen Shuang up, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Housekeeper Shen." He said and took out a reward purse for him.
Shen Shuang hastily declined and said, "How can I make the young master spend money?"
Lin Qing waved his hand and said, "You can take it if I give it to you. I only sent a letter before I came. You must have waited for several days."
After hearing this, Shen Shuang accepted it, and said with a smile: "The master is looking forward to the young master's arrival every day, how can the young one not wait wholeheartedly."
After Shen Shuang finished speaking, he commanded his servants to pull the carriage from the side, let Lin Qing and Lin Ze get on the carriage, and then commanded people to load all the things Lin Qing brought, and then set off for Shen's residence.
Sitting in the carriage, Lin Ze asked Lin Qing nervously, "Are we going to that Mr. Shen's house?"
Lin Qing nodded and said, "Yes."
"That Mr. Shen seems to be a high-ranking official?" Lin Ze asked a little nervously. Although Lin Qing said it once at the beginning, after so long, Lin Ze had almost forgotten it, and Lin Ze didn't think that such a high-ranking official I will remember them, but I didn't expect that they would send someone to pick them up in person.
"The minister of the Ministry of Rites was originally a third-rank official, but because Mr. Shen was promoted to the second-rank by the admiral who studied politics, he is now a second-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites."
Lin Ze's heart tightened, and he hesitated and said: "Then how about we come to the door like this? He is a second-rank official, and we are just merchants."
Lin Qing smiled, knowing that his brother had never seen such a big official, and comforted him: "It's okay, he is my teacher, besides, everyone has come to invite him, wouldn't it be worse if he didn't go?"
Only then did Lin Ze stop backing down, and hurriedly said: "Then let's come to the door, shouldn't we prepare some gifts?"
Lin Qing nodded and said, "It's the first time you come to the door, you really should prepare some gifts. I asked your younger siblings to prepare some and take them with you later."
It was only then that Lin Ze remembered that Lin Qing had brought a large cart of souvenirs. At that time, he wondered what his younger brother was doing with the souvenirs when he came to Beijing for the exam. It turned out that he was using them here.
"But isn't the light native product too thin?" Lin Ze said, "Why don't you add a few salt notes!"
Lin Qing didn't think that the souvenirs he brought were thin. He and Shen Ru had known each other for many years, so he really didn't care about these things, but considering that there were other people in Shen Ru's family, it was better to be polite when they first came to the door.
Lin Qing nodded and said, "Well, then I'll add a few salt notes." Lin Ze then felt more at ease.
Since Shen's residence was in the inner city, it took about half an hour for Lin Qing's carriage to arrive.
When they arrived at Shen's residence, since Shen Ru was in the Ministry of Rites, it was his eldest son, Shen Feng, who came to welcome him.
"Brother Lin Xian, I heard from my father a long time ago that he has accepted a disciple in the mountain province, but he has not been able to meet him, but now he can be regarded as one." Shen Feng said with a smile.
Lin Qing found sadly that since he and Shen Ru acted as master and apprentice, his seniority has become younger and younger. Now, he has already called Shen Ru's son brother and brother, but this name has to be called down.
Lin Qing said with a smile: "This time I came to Beijing to rush for the exam, and I disturbed my teacher."
"Why bother, my brother happens to be taking part in the scientific examination next year, so we just happen to be companions." Shen Feng said familiarly.
"Brother Shen will also participate in next year's test?" Lin Qing asked in surprise.
"Of course," Shen Feng said with a smile: "Although I was three years earlier than you in the Zhongju, I could try three years ago. My father said that I was not good enough, so he didn't let me go. No, although I am older than you Years old, but still a Juren."
"Brother Shen can study for another three years, and his knowledge must be more solid, and he will be able to win the first place in one fell swoop next year." Lin Qing said with a smile.
"I would like to borrow your good words." Shen Feng was obviously more confident in his knowledge, and said with a smile: "By the way, just talking, it must have been very hard for you to come all the way, mother is ready to listen to Yuxuan for you, It¡¯s been cleaned up a long time ago, just waiting for you to come and live.¡±
"It's really bothering my wife." Lin Qing said quickly.
"It's just a little thing." Shen Feng said with a smile.
Shen Feng took Lin Qing to Ting Yuxuan directly and made arrangements.Looking at the residence of Qing Qing, seeing that although he brought a lot of servants, he was worried that he was not familiar with Shen's residence, so he assigned a few servants who had children for him, and then he left.
After Shen Feng left, Lin Ze came over and said quietly: "This eldest son of Shen's mansion is really nice. He is not only humble and polite, but also considerate in doing things, and he doesn't look down on us at all."
Lin Qing said with a smile: "This is the real son of a family. As a son of a family, the first thing you do when you are in elementary school is how to treat people and things. You see those people who have a bit of ability but have their nostrils turned upside down. In the eyes of the children of the aristocratic family, they are just upstarts."
Lin Qing looked at Lin Ze, and suddenly said seriously: "Brother, I know that you used to contact salt merchants or other merchants, and you have a natural fear and flattery towards officials, but you have to remember, your brother is now It is already a Juren, our family has changed the lintel now, your brother may still be a Jinshi in the future, and he may even become an official, so when you meet an official in the future, you don¡¯t have to shrink back, you should be respectful, but you shouldn¡¯t feel that you are inferior.¡±
Lin Qing realized what was wrong with Lin Ze from the moment he met the Shen family, and after thinking about it, he understood his elder brother's worries, so Lin Qing felt that it was necessary to wake up his elder brother, otherwise his elder brother would have been timid all the time. Shrinking will only make others look down on him, and if he looks down on him, he will be easily wronged. As a younger brother, Lin Qing will never allow his elder brother to be wronged because of him.
When Lin Ze heard Lin Qing's words, he knew that it was his younger brother who was worried about him. He was moved, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But, I am worried that I will cause you trouble."
"Brother, you escorted me thousands of miles away to Beijing for the exam. How can you say that you are causing me trouble? Besides, if you have to wrong you to let me live, then I would rather move out now." Lin Qing said, directly asking Xiao Lin Packed up his things and said to Lin Ze, "Let's go out and stay at the inn."
Lin Ze heard this, and quickly stopped Lin Qing. He knew how beneficial it was for Lin Qing to live here. He was not only protected by a second-rank official, but also taught by a Jinshi, but his younger brother actually decided not to let him be wronged. After moving out, Lin Ze's eyes turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Good brother, I'll listen to you, don't worry, my brother will stand up straight, no matter whether he is a high-ranking official or a juror, my younger brother is also an official, and my younger brother will also be a Jinshi in the future." , your brother and I don¡¯t even have to curry favor with them.¡±
After hearing this, Lin Qing felt relieved, patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I'm relieved if you think so. We're not in business now, and we can't curry favor with officials. We're in the capital now just to Ke Kao, we are here to be disciples of the Son of Heaven, if you show your cowardice, it will only make others look down on you, and if others look down on you, they will easily regard you as a persimmon, and accidents will happen more easily."
Lin Ze also changed his mind for a while. At the beginning, he was also worried that he would accidentally bring disaster to his younger brother. Since he entered the Shen residence, he was careful in everything, paying attention to everything, and refused to say a word, for fear of offending the people in the Shen residence. Unhappy, causing trouble to his younger brother. Now that Lin Qing said it, Lin Ze felt that he had entered a misunderstanding. His younger brother was Master Shen¡¯s disciple and was invited by Master Shen himself. Proper, how dare others pick them into trouble. Thinking of this, Lin Ze straightened his back. They are not poor relatives who come to beg, so there is really no need to bow down.
Lin Qing looked at his elder brother's performance and nodded. His elder brother was also the heir of the family since he was a child, so how could he not be proud? It was just because he was short of breath for a while, but now that he looked away, he became the confident elder brother again.
Now that Lin Ze has let go, he is much more relaxed. Thinking of Shen Feng's introduction just now, Lin Ze said: "I heard that Yuxuan happens to be an independent courtyard in the northwest corner, and there is a corner door for entering and exiting. Mrs. Shen also considered that we brought people with me, so she allocated an independent courtyard for us. Since we are going to live for a long time, it is not good to bother them all the time. Why don't you tell Mr. Shen that the place where we live is We pay for the expenses ourselves, so as not to let other people spend money."
Lin Qing nodded and said: "That's exactly what I mean. My eldest brother and I have thought about it together. My theory is still a little too late, so Shen, um, my mentor plans to guide me a little bit more before the exam. It will always be inconvenient for me to go out." , so until next year's exam, I probably have to live here, it's really inconvenient to use the Shen residence for such a long time, and besides, the money we bring is enough, so it's more convenient to use our own."
After Lin Qing finished speaking, he asked Xiao Lin to sort out the souvenirs he had brought, and wrapped four salt notes in red envelopes, and asked Mrs. Lin to send them to the inner courtyard together, and handed them to Mrs. Shen. Buy some local products to change the taste of the house.
After Lin Qing finished delivering, he asked Xiao Lin to prepare meals. After eating, the two of them were a little tired after traveling for many days, so they both washed up, and then rested, planning to take a nap before getting up to pack other things.
Lin Qing and Lin Ze gave the gift here, feeling that he could finally live in peace of mind, so he went to sleep at ease, but he didn't know that the gift was delivered to the inner courtyard, in the hands of Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen and daughter-in-law Xiao opened the gift list, and poured it out I took a breath of cold air.
On the first line of the gift list, there are a few big characters:
1,200 catties of official salt!
Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Xiao:
