Wait for the servants to report.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but think that the Zhen family would not come to the door early or late, so he insisted on coming to the door when Lin Yanshou County exam almost failed.

Lin Qianqian was placing clothes on Lin Yanchao and said, "Mr. Zhen, I have met this Mrs. Zhen several times. She is a very snobbish person. She has become a little cold to our family because of your dismissal from office. We sent people to the house several times, but they didn't give a good look. This time they came to the house, wouldn't they want to lose this marriage."

Lin Yanchao said: "I will only know when I see you."

At this moment, Mr. Zhen and Mrs. Zhen are in the main hall of Lin Mansion.

Mr. Zhen is in his fifties and looks very good. He knows a scholar who is well-read at first sight.

Mr. Zhen was a juren from the Longqing period. He was a Jinshi five or six times, but failed, so he lost his mind to the imperial examination and practiced calligraphy and painting at home. The Zhen family has been an official for generations and has become a prominent noble like Nitai, so even if Mr. Zhen does not become an official, it doesn’t matter.

On the contrary, being a residence at home was a common occurrence for literati at that time.

Mr. Zhen sipped the tea ceremony: "Good tea, this is Songluo from Lu'an. It seems that although the top scholar was dismissed from office, the Lin Mansion was not bad."

Mrs. Zhen sneered: "It's just a swollen face and fat man in front of our family. It's all here, don't be soft-hearted."

Mr. Zhen sighed, "But I have to go back on my word, and I am a scholar. If I spread it, I may be ashamed of others."

Mrs. Zhen said rudely: "We can make it clear before we come."

"I'm just worried that the top scholar would refuse, but offended him."

There was a young man beside the two of them and said, "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, as long as you report my godfather's name, even if he is the top scholar, he will not dare to do anything, let alone he is dismissed from office and staying idle, so it is not to be afraid."

Seeing the young man's confident look, Mr. Zhen and Mrs. Zhen nodded.

At this time, Lin Yanchao and Lin Qianqian had arrived.

The three of them stood up together, and Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I have been waiting for two in-laws for a long time, so I am really in a position to welcome you."

It was the first time Mr. Zhen saw Lin Yanchao, but when he saw that Lin Yanchao was very young, he knew that he was gentle and gentleman as gentle as jade.

Mr. Zhen thought to himself, it would be great if my daughter got married to this person. Even if he was taken away from his post, it would be fine. Unfortunately, why is it his cousin?

Mr. Zhen sighed in his heart that he passed the imperial examination earlier than Lin Yanchao, but he was not from a Jinshi. If a juren is not in his official position, he would also have to pay tribute to him when he meets a Jinshi in his early twenties, let alone Lin Yanchao's top scorer.

However, Lin Yanchao took the Zhen family as his in-laws, so he also put down his posture and performed the rituals of his juniors.

Master Zhen knew the etiquette and did not dare to ask Da Zheng to return the tribute, but saw Mrs. Zhen winked. Master Zhen was a little embarrassed, so he changed the meeting with Ping Li.

Lin Yanchao knew at first sight that it was Mrs. Zhen who was making the idea in the Zhen family.

Lin Yanchao saw a young man behind Mrs. Zhen, who was in the mansion as if he was casual. When the other party looked at him, his eyes first looked at him, and then he saluted him.

When Lin Yanchao saw this person, he did not look respectful like other young scholars when he saw him, but instead became a bit on the same level.

Lin Yanchao asked Mr. Zhen: "Who is this?"

Mrs. Zhen rushed to say, "This is my eldest nephew."

After saying that, the young man stepped forward and smiled and said, "I have met the top scholar in the late Zhang Shen."

Then Zhang Shen took a post from his sleeve and presented it with both hands. Lin Yanchao did not reach out to answer it, but asked Chen Jichuan to come forward to take the post and hand it to himself.

When Lin Yanchao saw the post, he suddenly realized that this young man had such a background, no wonder he looked so proud.

"It turns out that Brother Ren is the son of Zhang Daxian, a nobleman. I'm lucky to meet you."

Who is Zhang Daqiu’s noble person referred to in Lin Yanchao’s words? It is Zhang Jing.

You should know that although the inner minister is Feng Bao now, the relationship between the young emperor and Feng Bao has never been very good. The young emperor himself is the most beloved eunuchs, including three of them, and their surname is Zhang Hong, one is Zhang Jing, who once came to the mansion, and the other is Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Hong is old and always rigorous in his work and strict in self-discipline. He rarely sees foreign officials.

Although Zhang Cheng was favored by the little emperor, he could not be called the title of "Neople".

Only Zhang Jing got this name. Zhang Jing didn't deal with Lin Yanchao much, but he knew that he was the emperor's fortunate, and was commensurate with the brothers Zhang Xueyan, the Minister of War. Zhang Jing relied on the power of the emperor and asked his confidants to secretly acquire power for him and accept bribes.

And this Zhang Shen is Zhang Jing's godson, but it's nothing. I heard that Zhang Jing's godson had more than a dozen, but this person dared to show off in front of him, so he didn't know how to weigh himself.

However, Lin Yanchao already knew that the Zhen family and his party came to him, and it was said that the visitors were not good.

Lin Yanchao's smile had already stopped and he said lightly: "A few of you are rare guests, please sit down!"

Everyone took the seat at the same time.

After the tea was re-suming, everyone exchanged unnutritional greetings for a while, and then Mrs. Zhen frequently winked at Mr. Zhen. Mr. Zhen was forced to do so, and then said to Lin Yanchao: "Why don't you see Brother Ling?"

Lin Yanchao said: "There are three more trials in the county, so my brother is studying in the room to avoid being distracted. I think my in-laws can understand this in-laws."

"Be good, be good." Mr. Zhen smiled quickly, and saw Mrs. Zhen's urging face, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Lin Yanchao saw the expressions of Mr. Zhen and Mrs. Zhen, and he knew most of them without guessing.

Their Zhen family had already agreed to the marriage but it was reluctant for so long. Lin Yanchao was dismissed from office. The Lin family was very weak. In addition, Lin Yanshou County exam, he actually got a 100-point exam, which was still on the secondary list.

Seeing that Lin Yanshou was so useless, Lin Yanchao put his heart in mind. If the Zhen family really wanted to break off the engagement, it would be considered human nature.

But this is nothing, and it is normal to break the engagement.

Haven’t you seen the popularity of “broken engagement flow” novels? Anyone who has never been broken by absent these days is embarrassed to go out to meet people?

Men always grow up by breaking off the engagement. Maybe their cousin realized the ultimate mystery of "Don't bully the young and poor" through this incident, and thus became out of control.

But Mrs. Zhen came to explain the matter directly. Although Lin Yanchao was unhappy, she might as well agree. After all, the forced melon is not sweet. But he also had to bring his nephew with him. This clearly wanted to use Zhang Jing's power to suppress Lin Yanchao. This made Lin Yanchao very unhappy.

Mrs. Zhen smiled and said, "We are not coming to the door empty-handed this time!"

As the servant of Zhen’s mansion brought the gift box, Mrs. Zhen said with a smile: “I have never prepared a heavy gift for me. I asked my brother to have a big exam, so I gave him fifty taels of silver and a set of clothes for four seasons, which is not worthy of respect.”

Lin Yanchao and Lin Qianqian looked at each other and thought to herself, it was not right. It seems that this situation was not here to break the engagement, otherwise they would not have given gifts. Could it be that the Zhen family was not ashamed of breaking the engagement forcibly, so they felt guilty in their hearts, so they gave gold and silver to make up for it?

Lin Yanchao did not take this thing seriously: "I don't lack gold and silver clothes at home. If you have any questions, please tell me."

Mr. Zhen smiled and said, "Zhuangyuan Gong, please speak quickly, but I want to consult with you in person what I mean by ordering me."

Lin Yanchao said: "My brother is preparing for the exam, so it's really not to be distracted. My in-laws can tell me bluntly that I can still make decisions for my brother in some matters."

Of course, Lin Yanchao didn't want the Zhen family to see Lin Yanshou. He told Lin Yanshou in person about breaking up the engagement. Isn't that an explosion in an instant?

Lin Yanchao did not release Lin Yanshou, not for himself, but for your Zhen family's good.

Mr. Zhen was rejected by Lin Yanchao and couldn't continue. Zhang Shen took the conversation on the side: "My uncle and aunt know that the grand exam is about to be held, but the enquiry will not be delayed for too long. My uncle and aunt came here today just to meet Brother Ling, and there is no other intention. Please don't misunderstand the throne master."

After Zhang Shen said this, Mr. Zhen, Mrs. Zhen, nodded at the same time.

Lin Yanchao didn't know what medicine the Zhen family sold, but after all, they were still nominal relatives and could not stop them from seeing their son-in-law. So Lin Yanchao ordered the servants and invited Lin Yanshou to the hall.

A moment later, Lin Yanshou came to the hall, and then the very polite Mr. Zhen, said to Mrs. Zhen, and said, "Mrs. Mrs. Zhen," said.

Mr. Zhen and Mrs. Zhen also nodded together, with a very polite attitude and no idea of ​​any difference.

Mr. Zhen said, "Since it is my nephew here, I will tell you in person. I heard that the nephew's ranking in the county exam this time was quite poor."

Lin Yanshou's face turned red, and Lin Yanchao said: "What do you mean by Mr. Zhen, there are three more games left before he finishes, so I dare not make a slight judgment."

Mrs. Zhen smiled and said, "Zhuangyuan Gong, you and I are both wise men. Brother Ling's ranking is actually no different from failing the exam. You may think that our Zhen family is disgusted, but it is not true. There is no certainty in the matter in the imperial examination. If you don't win the imperial examination today, it may not be possible for the Ming Dynasty to win. We are here to tell Brother Ling that although we are relaxed, it is nothing to be disappointed in one day. You can take the next exam again, and the future will be long."

This turning point is amazing. Lin Qianqian was ashamed when she heard it. The Zhen family is so generous, she really judges a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Lin Yanchao knew that there was no such simple thing: "Mrs. Zhen's words are in their words?"

Mr. Zhen immediately said to Mrs. Zhen: "Madam, let's have tea."

Mrs. Zhen glared at Mr. Zhen and said with a angrily smile, "Look, what the priest master said is actually nothing. I want to ask my brother to marry into my Zhen family."

Married in!

This...the turning point is too fast.

OK, today I thought the Zhen family was here to force the engagement, but I didn’t expect that the style of painting turned into forced Lin Yanshou to marry into his wife.

As soon as he said that, Mr. Zhen looked regretful.

Zhang Shen nodded frequently and signaled that his aunt did the right thing.

Mrs. Zhen received the support of her nephew, and she said in a verbal voice: "Our Zhen family has a scholarly family with a profound background, no more than those poor families who were proud of it all the time."

Hearing this, the faces of Lin Mansion changed.

What do you mean? Isn’t it clear that our Lin family is a proud nouveau riche?

"You go to Juxianfang to ask casually, who doesn't know the reputation of my Zhen family. That's right, although my Zhen family is said to be kind and generous, but the offspring is not strong. Let your brother marry into his family, and he also wants to inherit the Zhen family's incense."
