I took the imperial examination in the red building

Chapter 150

Lin Huan thinks this matter, the person who needs to tie the bell to untie the bell, if you don't ask Lin Ruhai, you can't figure out the way out.

He collected his mood and prepared to go back and ask Lin Ruhai.

As soon as he left, Zhen Baoyu said: "The nephew of the Lin family that I just saw today, is he the heir that Lin Ruhai is optimistic about? I remember that their family only has daughters and no males. I'm afraid they want to recruit a son-in-law?"

The servant was stupefied: "Brother, what are you doing making random guesses? I heard people say that Lin Ruhai recognized him as a godson, and there are also people who are both godsons and son-in-laws?"

Zhen Baoyu pouted: "I'm just guessing!"

Lin Huan came out from Zhen's house and went to find Lin Ruhai.

This time Lin Ruhai only came in with a birthday gift, and did not attend the banquet. He was also working in the yamen at this time.

Lin Huan thought for a while: "Has uncle received any news from Beijing this year?"

Lin Ruhai said: "Your father has only sent me news this year, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"I heard people say that the national treasury is empty, and the emperor has no money to send?"

Lin Ruhai pondered for a while and said, "It's true. I went to the south of the Yangtze River with a lot of trouble a few years ago. If I did this once in a year, no amount of money would be enough."

【Sweetheart: I heard that the emperor visited the south of the Yangtze River. The boats, places to live, and things used all need new ones. The places where he stops along the way also need to build palaces. I guess all the taxes in the south of the Yangtze River are spent on them. 】

[A word disagreement: It's hard anyway, and it's no wonder that the current emperor loves to ransack his home just like Yongzheng. 】

Lin Huan asked: "In the past few years, the Supreme Emperor doesn't like to move. I haven't heard of it once. Maybe I came to Jiangnan when I was younger, but I don't know."

Lin Ruhai: "Now he's not the head of the family anymore, so if you want to spend money, you have to go through your son's hands. Naturally, it's not happy. I heard people say that for this matter, the Zhen family even sent a lot of money into the palace. Why did the Supreme Emperor like Concubine Zhen at that time? It was just because the Zhen family stood behind her, and the Zhen family had plenty of money for him to use."

"I've heard of this. Before I arrived in Jiangnan years ago, I heard people say that what kind of dish the emperor wanted to eat in the palace would cost hundreds of taels of silver. At that time, there was a war in southern Xinjiang. The emperor Empresses are taking the lead in saving money, so the Imperial Dining Room naturally dare not do it, and Concubine Zhen paid for it herself."

What Lin Huan said was the same period when Jia Yucun was punished by the censor. Later, Jia Yucun was dismissed and fined money, and he was never allowed to be hired again. For this matter, Wang Ziteng was criticized and looked for people everywhere. uneasy.

It's rare for the censors to do such a big thing with the four kings and eight princes, and they were excited when the matter of Concubine Zhen happened, and they went to the letter again.

Later, the emperor himself came out to apologize, saying that he should not have wronged the Supreme Emperor, and returned the Supreme Emperor's specifications.

At that time, Lin Huan even mentioned it to the live broadcast room. It's no wonder that the new emperor didn't hate the Zhen family after all this happened.

But this also shows how poor the state treasury is today: "Uncle should also think about the future. The emperor has no money, so he must find money in Jiangnan. Now you are in charge of this area. I'm afraid that when the time comes The storm came, but it affected you."

Lin Ruhai nodded: "I've heard your father tell me about this too. Don't worry, I know it well. I can't stop being an official just because I know there will be danger in the future, right? I didn’t take the imperial examination and went directly to farming.”

There are several ghosts in my heart!Lin Huan looked up at the sky, he didn't pay attention to you when he saw you.

But what Lin Ruhai said made sense, he couldn't give up eating because of choking, this official would continue to be an official, just try to avoid it.

He returned to the Lin Mansion.

It was also a coincidence that the letter from Brother Juan arrived.

Scribbled three lines, everything is safe, don't read it.

Brother Juan didn't express any thoughts about his reading the pornographic book at all, and he didn't even tell him a word when he knew it.

Lin Huan frowned.

Can't be tired brother is still angry with him!

But he didn't dare to write a letter to ask, because he is guilty now.

Ever since he started studying at the age of three, everyone has taught him to respect teachers and love his husband. He has also done the same in the past 12 years, but in the end, he actually developed feelings for his husband that he shouldn't have.

He couldn't take it.

Even in his dream, he felt ashamed of it.

Moreover, he couldn't tell the people in the live broadcast room what he was thinking, for fear that they would not understand, and also that they would hate him—more importantly, he was afraid that the husband would react the same as the live broadcast room if he knew what he was thinking. , as long as he thinks of the reaction in the live broadcast room, he will imagine Brother Juan's attitude of avoiding him.

He wanted to hide his thoughts, and it would be best not to let anyone find out.

However, he is only 15 years old, no matter how hard he hides, how much thought can he hide?

Most people in the live broadcast room found that his state was not right, his mind was out of order, and he was in a trance.

It's just that he didn't say it all the time, and they didn't dare to guess randomly.

In this way, the two sides "lived in peace" and concealed it from each other.

It's just that Lin Huan was in a depressed mood and couldn't read books. He was worried and worried every day, and he lost a lot of weight in just a few months.

Later, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't stand it anymore and asked him what happened.

Lin Huan hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold back: "What if you fall in love with someone you shouldn't like?"

[Cabbage tofu brain:? ?Why when you said this, I would imagine that you fell in love with Jia Baoyu? ? ? 】

[A disagreement: Upstairs you are a fool, right? What Huan Bao said is about people you shouldn't like, not people you don't like, but I don't quite understand what is meant by someone you shouldn't like? 】

[Tutu's ears: +1, I don't understand, is there anyone in this world that I shouldn't like?Apart from enemies like killing one’s father and one’s mother, there are also ethical people, and I think I can understand everything else. It’s not illegal to like someone. 】

When Lin Huan heard about ethics, he was already crying.

The result was speechless.

[Speechless: Huanbao, I think judging from your interpersonal relationship, you probably fell in love with Brother Juan...]

[Yinqiao Pian: ... so reasonable, I can't find any reason to refute it. If Huan Bao really likes someone, he has no other choice but Brother Juan. 】

[Shuangmulin: Huh?However, Brother Juan is the husband of Huanbao... In ancient times, the husband was both a teacher and a father. Is this considered incest? 】

Lin Huan had already shut himself up.

He was already worrying about this matter, and he finally mustered up the courage to ask them, but the people in the live broadcast almost stabbed him in the heart.

Although this result has been expected, but when it is actually faced, I still feel a little sad.

He also realized more clearly that perhaps, it was impossible for him and Brother Juan.

For the first time in his life, he fell in love, and he just died here.

He quietly closed the live broadcast room.

In the past 12 years, he has seldom closed the live broadcast room. When he goes to sleep at night, the live broadcast room will be automatically closed, and he never needs to operate it himself.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little tired.

Maybe he should take some time off.

Once such thoughts pop up, it is difficult to put them away.

So he changed the announcement in the studio: "I'm going out for a walk, and I'll be back in a while."

There was wailing in the live broadcast room.

[Sweetheart: Oh, my poor Huanbao, he's only 15 years old! 】

[A disagreement: I suddenly realized that to Huanbao, Brother Juan was his first love...but the first love died before it even started. 】

[Cabbage Tofu Nao: The most cruel thing is to end before it starts...Because I know that the follow-up relationship is impossible to have results, so I never hold out hope, and I don't even want to try it, because I know it is useless to do it. 】

[Yinqiao Pian: I'm a bad boy, I want Huanbao to give it a try, at least try it to know if it works. 】

[Carrot squatting after white radish squatting: Huanbao dare not, if you really try, with Brother Juan's cleverness, it is impossible not to guess what he is thinking in his heart, if he guesses it and refuses to accept it, I am afraid even teachers and students will do it No more, this is too cruel for Huan Bao, woo woo woo. 】

[Tutu's ears: It's cruel now...but how should I put it, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. After this time, it won't be uncomfortable in the future. 】

Everyone in the live broadcast room was crying.

Lin Huan didn't look at it, he really wanted to be quiet.

As soon as the live broadcast room was closed, Lin Daiyu came: "After talking about you last time, how many times have you gone out in a few months? Why are you bored at home again?"

Lin Huan smiled wryly: "I'm not in the mood to go out for a stroll."

Lin Daiyu has always been more thoughtful than others, and now she can tell when he sees his brows and eyes are loose: "A while ago, I persuaded you to go for a walk because I saw that you were uncomfortable, thinking that you should relax, how could this be so?" Do you look more depressed now than before?"

Seeing that Lin Huan was silent, she asked again: "Xie Jing told me that you seem to have something on your mind?"

Lin Huan just glanced at her: "Why is he talking to you again?"

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips: "Any man can tell that you are in a bad mood, so he came here specially to let me relieve you. Why don't you tell me what's wrong?"

"I..." Lin Huan thought for a while and said, "I fell in love with someone."

He was afraid that Lin Daiyu would not understand what liking was when she was too young, so he explained: "I want to be with him for the rest of my life. I will see him when I think about it, and I can see him at dusk. I am happy when I see him... "

Lin Daiyu thought for a while and said, "Then you go and tell her."

She thought of "The Romance of the West Chamber" she saw a while ago, and said, "If you like it, then tell her, you don't know if she admires you, right?"

Lin Huan smiled wryly: "Where did you ask so you could ask and speak? If you said it, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be a teacher...a friend."

"Then why did you fall in love with her?" Lin Daiyu asked, "Because of her talent and appearance, or her temperament?"

Lin Huan frowned: "It's all... In my heart, he is the best person in the world, is there anything wrong?"

Lin Daiyu sighed: "You are poisoned too deeply. It is true that you are in love. If you are still hesitating, I will only ask you, what is the reason for your sadness these days? Is it because you can't tell her? Or is it something else? ? When you think it through, you'll know what to do."

Sad sad for what?

After Lin Daiyu left, Lin Huan sat in the study and thought hard.

Is it because you can't tell Brother Juan?

He subconsciously rejected his idea.

What makes him sad is that he can't be with Brother Juan, and can't tell him his love, for fear that he will stay away from him.

But wouldn't it be even more troublesome if he was to continue to pretend to be naive and ignorant by Brother Juan's side?

He felt aggrieved thinking about it.

He's not the only one who feels aggrieved, Brother Juan must be upset when he finds out, his little disciple has such unethical thoughts towards him, but he pretends to know nothing and stays beside him...

Lin Huan was silent.

He thought, or try to stay away from Brother Juan first, don't appear in front of him, don't correspond with him, and try to leave Brother Juan, will he heal slowly—or is it that his love for Brother Juan Feelings are more than dependence?

After making such a decision, he gradually thanked himself for the decision he had made at the beginning, and accompanied Lin Daiyu back, so that at least he could not see Brother Juan, and he would not find anything abnormal.

After Lin Ruhai's crisis is over, he must be able to make up his mind completely.

Another year of winter.

The boy who delivered the letter was found in front of the master's house countless times.

Before Shen Juan could speak, he said, "My lord, there is no letter or anything from Jiangnan."

Shen Juan was stuck in his mouth about what he wanted to ask, so he had to wave his hand to let him go down.

The boy walked halfway, then turned back and said, "Since my lord is thinking about my brother, why don't you write a letter yourself?"

The last time he sent a letter was in spring. It has been more than half a year. He has nothing to do every day, no letters to send, and he is eating at the mansion. He is about to be resigned.

He has a rare sense of crisis: "My lord always asks me once a month. It can be seen that I still think about my brother in my heart. If you want me to say, how can there be such a prank in this world? It turns out that my lord and my brother are good." Can't wait to be alone, could it be that because of a trivial matter, we will never see each other again in the future? People have said that husband and wife have no overnight feud, let alone a husband and disciple?"

He thought that what he said was not rough, but it just happened to hit Shen Juan.

He said with a sullen face, "talk too much."

The boy stuck out his tongue and slipped away.

Shen Juan was left sitting alone in the study.

It was cold and windy outside, and a charcoal fire was lit inside the room, and the smoky heat covered the whole study room airtight.

Shen Juan felt stuffy as he sat.

I don't know what Lin Huan is doing, why don't you write to him?It has been more than half a year and no news has been sent back. In the past, there were only pages and pages of letter paper, but this time there was not even a single word.

Could it be that he was hurt by his reply?

Shen Juan couldn't help thinking.

Some time ago, I went to pay my respects to the Supreme Emperor, but seven or eight times out of ten times, the Supreme Emperor refused to see me. Now the emperor will not go.

Could it be that Lin Huan is also like this?

He wrote seven or eight letters, every word and every sentence were the details of his life, and if he didn't respond, he didn't want to write...

Shen Juan closed his eyes.

But he can't go back.

It's good to hide such things in his heart. Only by reducing his contact with him can he try to restrain himself.

However, thinking this way in his heart, he only felt secret happiness and satisfaction when he received the letter from Lin Huan.

——His little apprentice is thinking of him.

But now he can't get the letter.

Maybe it was because he had too much fun in Jiangnan, and he forgot about him, or maybe it was because he made friends with other people, had good friends, or even... He is sixteen years old, will he meet a girl he likes? ?

The memorial under Shen Juan's hands was crumpled by him, and finally overwhelmed, it was torn and torn.

Shen Juan was stunned.

Is he—is he possessive of his little apprentice?

It was cold and windy outside, and the wooden Aguang Leng was creaked by the blowing, and Shen Juan suddenly stood up from his chair.

The servant outside saw him coming out and asked, "Where is Master going?"

Shen Juan stopped: "Go and ask if there is still a boat going down to the south of the Yangtze River?"

The boy was stunned: "It's already winter, the canal is covered with thick ice, how can there be boats?"

"Besides, the Lord will go to court tomorrow, and at the end of the year, you will be offering sacrifices to heaven. You are the busiest time, have you forgotten?"

"..." Shen Juan calmed down.

He went back to sit down again.

His eyes fell on the memorial on the side.

Some time ago, Jinjin asked him in private if he would like to go to Jiangnan. At that time, he wanted to stay away from Lin Huan, so he didn't answer, but now... he really wants to go.

The situation in the south of the Yangtze River was about to change, and he was afraid that Lin Huan would fall headlong into the whirlpool.

He couldn't understand the feeling of falling into the vortex. There were hidden reefs everywhere, and if he was not careful, he would be swallowed.

He didn't want Lin Huan to experience this feeling.

The crumpled memorial was unfolded again, and Shen Juan's familiar characters were displayed on it.

"Hang it higher!"

Lin Daiyu commanded Luying: "Go a little to the left."

Lin Huan heard a voice coming out: "What are you doing?"

Lin Daiyu laughed and said, "Why are you so stupid when you study recently? You even forgot your own birthday?"

She pointed to the outside: "Here, I'll hang colored thread and lanterns for you."

Lin Huan scratched his head: "I forgot."

He has been in a bad mood for the past six months, he either goes out to relax, or just stays in the house reading, seldom has time to watch the day.

Instead, he visited all the places mentioned in Shen Juan's travel notes.

He didn't go shopping on purpose. After all, he wanted to stay away from Brother Juan, and what to do to "revisit the old place". It's just that Jiangnan is so big. He walked and walked to Shen Juan unconsciously. past place.

When you get there, you will inevitably remember it.

So he was very unsuccessful in breaking away this year.

About the only thing he did was not to write to Shen Juan.

To be precise, it was written, but it was never sent.

All in the system space.

Lin Daiyu looked at him and said: "Okay, it's such a good day, don't be in a daze, my father said he won't come back today, let's just have a meal together, don't be restrained, call Xie Jing too .”

Lin Huan called Xie Jing in, and inevitably wanted to ridicule him: "Didn't you say you went back after getting the fish tank?"

Xie Jing turned a deaf ear and only looked at Lin Daiyu: "You look good today, is the material for the clothes I asked someone to send you?"

Lin Daiyu nodded: "Come on, it's just that I haven't decided what clothes to wear, so I haven't moved."

Lin Huan was alert: "Since when did you have a private relationship?"

Xie Jing rolled his eyes: "Is it possible that I still count on you? I haven't seen you in the past half a year."

Lin Huan stopped talking.

"Why are you mentioning this on a good day? The weather is so cold, and it doesn't bother me if I don't go out, so I don't bother to move." Lin Daiyu said, "When I went out today, the wind blew my heart, and I was dragged by the girls. After drinking a big bowl of ginger tea, the taste is still in my mouth."

"It's my fault, Tired Sister misses me." Lin Huan quickly apologized.

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips: "Is there anything wrong with it? I'm hungry right now, so it's only proper to ask the kitchen to serve food."

Lin Huan hurried to urge people.

They ate pot today, Lin Huan asked someone to make it spicy for him and Xie Jing, while Lin Daiyu ate boiled.

The pot was served, and the three of them ate and chatted. Lin Daiyu asked, "Why didn't you see the gift from Mr. this year?"

These days, she is the housekeeper, and she watches all the human relations. In previous years, Shen Juan's gifts must have arrived two months before Lin Huan's birthday, but this year he did not see them.

Lin Huan paused with his gripping hand: "Mr. Xu forgot."

Xie Jing didn't believe it, and shouted: "Sir, even if you forget your surname, you must not forget this matter."

Lin Huan stuffed the meat into his bowl expressionlessly: "Eat yours."

Lin Daiyu also said: "I also think Mr. can't forget it. Maybe it was too late when I thought about it. I heard that there was a lot of snow this year, and the road and river were frozen. Maybe it was delayed on the road?"

Lin Huan hummed: "I don't know either."

"It's troublesome if you stay far away." Xie Jing muttered, "Should we go back next year?"

Lin Daiyu continued: "I think it's better to stay at home. In Jia's house, I can only talk to my sisters. There is also Jia Baoyu who is annoying, and I can't see my father."

Xie Jing immediately changed his words: "Yes, I also think that Jiangnan is good. What did the poem say? Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is familiar to me. At sunrise, the river flowers are red, and in spring, the river is as green as blue. Spring will begin soon, let's go to Jiangnan Take a stroll, and fly a kite or something?"

Lin Daiyu agreed.

The two of them carefully discussed where to go to play.

Lin Huan lowered his head, put another chopstick of meat in the steaming pot and stuffed it into his mouth.

The spicy taste of chili spread in his mouth, and he accidentally choked his throat. He waved his hand to signal the two people who were scared by him to be okay.

He drank another large glass of water down his stomach.

The hot pepper had enough stamina, choking him so that his face was flushed, from the corners of his eyes all the way to the base of his neck.

Xie Jing said: "I knew I should get a lighter pot. Although this spicy pot is exciting to eat, but look at Huanbao, he choked on the pepper and cried."

Lin Daiyu took a look, and it turned out that the corners of Lin Huan's eyes were red, and tears kept falling down.

"Oh, it's true." She quickly handed over the handkerchief, and asked Fu Que to fetch water to wash Lin Huan's face, "Why don't you pay attention?"

Lin Huan lay on the chair with his back: "It's okay, it's really okay, I'll get better slowly."

He didn't lower his head, and the table was far away, Xie Jing and Lin Daiyu couldn't see his expression.

Lin Huan closed his eyes and let the tears flow into his collar. The wet and cold touch extinguished a passionate heart.

His heart was like a knife, thinking, why didn't he write to his husband, why didn't his husband write to him?

The birthday presents from previous years are also gone, but for more than half a year, my husband forgot about him.

After all, it was just his wishful thinking.

He took a few breaths, afraid that Lin Daiyu and the others might be worried, he sat up again, and was going to go back to his room, at least tidy up before coming out.

In the end, when he looked up, he didn't know if he cried a little, hallucinated, or he missed Mr. too much, his eyes were dim with tears, as if Mr. was standing at the entrance of the yard.

The figure in the distance approached slowly.

Both Xie Jing and Lin Daiyu stood up hastily, and Lin Daiyu said, "When did Mr. come here... why don't you say anything."

Xie Jing scratched his head: "I just said that Mr. can't forget, no, come here."

Shen Juan smiled: "I just applied for leave with the emperor, and the road was icy again, so I arrived in a hurry, afraid of missing it, so I came here directly."

Lin Huan sat in a daze.

He watched Shen Juan walk to his side, and took out a box, which was the same as the countless gifts he had received in the past.

A big, generous hand on his head stroked his hair.

He heard a tired and gentle voice: "It's a happy birthday, why are you crying?"

Lin Huan's eyes were sour.

Shen Juan said: "Your birthday present, sorry, I'm late."
