Chapter 21 The Saltless Girl 8
"younger sister!"
After not seeing each other for many days, Lin Qishan was very excited when he saw Xiao Xiao. He left a group of people and rushed over quickly.
"Brother Lin, who is this?" The colleague who followed him looked at Xiao Xiao curiously.
Lin Qishan came to his senses and took the girl's hand to introduce it to others.
"Everyone, this is my sister, Lin Qixia, what I said to you." The proud one in the words.
He pointed to the people who came with him and said to Xiaoxiao: "Sister, this is Brother Zhao Yunpeng, this is Brother Zhao, this is Huang Lang, this is Brother Xu Yi and Xu, this is... They are all Jinshis in this scientific examination and will stay at home for a few days."
Xiao Xiao saluted one by one.
"Everyone, go in with me!" Lin Qishan invited everyone to the Lin family.
The Lin family is actually not very small, but there were more than a dozen people coming with this time, so they seemed a little crowded.
After a few people looked around, they said to Lin Qishan considerately: "Brother Lin, we have come this time, and it can't help but bump into the female family at home. I think we should stay in the inn."
Lin Qishan was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard that he would hit the female family in his family, he immediately threw it to the horizon and responded gratefully: "It's great that you don't care about the trouble. I'll tell you to take care of you."
Xiao Xiao took the leave after everyone got home and just handed over the reception of the man with his brother.
In the evening, the brother and sister gathered in the study. Xiao Xiao asked directly with the cardboard: Brother, what is going on this exam? Tell me about it quickly.
When it comes to this, Lin Qishan looks a little lucky and a little afraid and proud.
Xiao Xiao looked at Lin Qishan's expression changing and knew that things might not go so smoothly.
Listening to how Lin Qishan answered the questions, how he was named the top scholar, and how he was stuffed into the Hanlin Academy after seeing the emperor, Xiao Xiao felt mixed feelings, and his luck was also against the will.
Although I felt that Lin Qishan was a bit silly, I thought that if he sat still, or was seen by Emperor Tianqi when he fell asleep, I was afraid that he would have nothing to do.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao was a little grateful like Lin Qishan, and was deeply proud of his tutoring results.
Look, I actually taught a top scorer, which is so proud! Xiao Xiao gave himself a thumbs up.
Xiao Xiao and Lin Qishan talked about their recent life. After hearing this, Lin Qishan was silent for a long time before he said dryly: "Sister, if you do this, you will be criticized. These things should be left to me. I can't let you suffer any more."
Xiao Xiao felt nothing, and wrote indifferently: I haven't reached the end of the game yet. When it is reported, others will only say that I am ignorant. My brother is now an official in the court, and everyone is watching every move. I won't get married in the future. If there is such a thing in the future, I will leave it to me. Don't my brother want to keep supporting me?
Lin Qishan's eyes were red with excitement, "Of course I will always take care of you, but I hope you can marry someone who loves you and treat you with one more person."
Lin Qishan's heart-wrenching words moved Xiao Xiao very much, but the reality was there, and the original owner probably understood it very well and did not think about anything.
Xiao Xiao didn't say anything. Lin Qishan thought he had touched his sister's sadness and comforted her incoherently, "Sister, sister, don't be sad. I didn't say that on purpose. I asked in the capital. Every five years, the Western Regions will pay a tribute to a beauty-bearing product called Yuxue Bingjian. If you have the chance, your brother will definitely ask for you. There is also the imperial doctor in the palace. I heard that there is a Liu Shengshou art comparable to Hua Tuo and Bian Que. At that time, I will ask for you and will definitely cure you. And, there is... "
Listening to the words of my brother, Xiao Xiao was a little amused. It was still early to talk about these things, and he had to make great contributions so that the emperor would reward him.
At this time, Xiao Xiao didn't know that it was not long before Lin Qishan asked for grace for Xiao Xiao, but the process definitely made Xiao Xiao's life worse than death.
The two talked for a long time, and when Xiao Xiao saw that Lin Qishan was a little tired, he took the initiative to stop talking and went back.
Xiaohuan, who had been standing outside the study for a long time, yawned, "Ah, Miss, are you going back to your room?"
Xiao Xiao nodded.
If it's dry today, it's autumn again, there are a lot of mosquitoes. After all, insect eggs are born in the water, otherwise Xiaohuan would have quit now: Brother, the food has been rising these days, and it's even more expensive when I arrived in Beijing. When I bought it, I would have dispersed half of my family's money. I have been celebrating my brother these days and spent a lot of money. My brother has just been on duty and his salary has not yet been obtained. Relying on filial piety alone is enough to maintain the daily expenses of the family. Moreover, you still need to pay some rewards when you arrive in Beijing. Our family's money is not much.
The words written on paper made Lin Qishan's ears a little red. As the saying goes, if you don't take the lead, you don't know how expensive it is. Lin Qishan knew that his sister was extremely intelligent. When she was 10 years old, she handed over the housekeeper's power to her. As he expected, her sister was in good order and even did a better job than him, so she read the book of sages with peace of mind.
"Haha, it's better for me not to bother me. Anyway, it's still early to the time specified by the emperor, so it's okay for us to go to the capital slowly." In short, it's right to listen to my sister's words, and my brother said that he was used to it.
Xiao Xiao nodded with satisfaction. She must take away the food anyway.
After rushing all the way to the capital, Xiao Xiao breathed a lot of relief. Mom, there was no road in ancient times, and his butt was about to be broken.
If it weren't for the fear of missing time, Xiao Xiao would rather hire a ox cart. The ox cart would go slowly, but it was still very popular in ancient times.
"Slow down, be careful." Xiao Xiao grinned and got off the carriage with his brother's help, and looked at the mansion he gave was given pale face.
Well, depending on the specifications, it is twice as big as my hometown, and I heard from my brother that it is not too far from the palace, so you don’t have to get up too early when you go to court like this.
It seems that the emperor likes him more than Xiao Xiao thought.
The next day, Lin Qishan got up at the fifth day and went to the court. It was already noon when he came back, and his steps were floating in his hunger.
Xiao Xiao felt a little distressed and told the servants to prepare some snacks for him to eat on the road in the future, so he waited for him in the study.
Before he could take a break after dinner, Xiao Mo told his sister to wait for him in the study and rushed over without stopping.
"Sister, is there anything you need to ask me for?" Lin Qishan's slightly hoarse voice rang.
Xiao Xiao raised the cardboard: I want to ask if you are still going well in the Hanlin Academy?
Lin Qishan said with a wry smile: "Just that's it, I'm a little different from the top scorers in previous years, and my colleagues don't like me very much."
Xiao Xiao was stunned. This time, Emperor Tianqi changed the test questions, and the criteria for selecting people were very different from those in the past. Lin Qishan, the only one who entered Hanlin at the same time, was possible to be excluded by those well-educated people. Moreover, Lin Qishan is a theoretical material, and his literary level is there, and it is still the original owner who exhausted his efforts to reach that level.
Xiao Xiao suddenly remembered that Lin Qishan had not yet married, and no one had captured the son-in-law after winning the top scorer. It seems that those who are dissatisfied with Lin Qishan are afraid that all the civil and military officials in the court will be.
He frowned and wrote on the paper: It is understandable that my brother is now favored by the emperor and is hated by others. Your colleagues don’t have to please them too much. Listen and watch more and don’t make your boss angry. If the emperor calls you to ask questions, even if you know, don’t say it out loud. Just say that you are not knowledgeable and have insufficient experience. When you go back, think about it before reporting. Let’s discuss it again. Let’s keep a low profile for a while.
Lin Qishan nodded, "I know, it's getting late, I'm leaving, you can have a good rest at home. You are a girl. It's definitely not enough to just take a day off on the road a few days ago. I can handle these things myself. Don't worry too much. I asked someone to wipe the medicine I sold to you yesterday, right?"
Xiao Xiao nodded with a dark face. It was so embarrassing to buy ass wiping medicine for himself.
Seeing his sister's expression change, Lin Qishan smiled heartily and rubbed Xiao Xiao's head.
Later, the emperor summoned Lin Qishan, and Lin Qishan always said: "Your Majesty, the poor minister is a little talented and has little experience, so why not wait for me to go back and think about it."
As time went by, the Emperor of Heavenly Qi heard this, tic toes appeared on his forehead and couldn't help rolling his eyes. Although Lin Qishan could always give a satisfactory answer afterwards, he refused every time and was unable to wait for political affairs. He thought to himself: Isn't it just lack of experience? If you have the chance another day, you will kick you out and practice hard.
