Lin's father came by chance. If he had been a day and a half late, he might have been trapped on the road. Fortunately, although Lin's father was a man with a bumpy life in the first half of his life, he was still lucky in the second half. Not only did he entrust his daughter to a good man, but he also beat the autumn examination in one fell swoop. Now he rushed to the capital to settle down in time on the eve of the heavy snowstorm in the capital.

Speaking of Lin's father's success in the autumn examination, it is not a lie. The number room he assigned was good, and he was in good health over the past few days. It happened that the exam questions were within his control range, so Lin's father ranked first in this exam, ranking fifth in Shuozhou. This was really amazing. It was precisely because of this autumn examination and the ranking was high that Lin's father made up his mind to come to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination.

Otherwise, if the ranking is worse, he will be too lazy to make trouble.

They are running around, and they are useless when they come.

He is old and has enough concentration, so he may not have to come over to learn more. After he goes home, he studies behind closed doors, and I think he will be able to pass the Jinshi in another three years.

But the same thing is said, because his grades are outstanding, Lin's father decided to come to the capital. He could not say that he was lucky this time and made it to the list in one fell swoop. Whether it was the second or third, as long as he was able to pass the Jinshi, he would have achieved his wish and would have nothing else to pursue in his life.

When Lin's father was young, he was obsessed with fame and fortune, but since his wife died early, his parents left him one after another. Lin's father missed three consecutive scientific exams, and he was also discouraged for a while.

If Xu Erlang hadn't put pressure on Lin's father, Lin's father would not have been ready to continue the imperial examination in his life. But since he decided to be a backer for his daughter, he would have to participate in the imperial examination.

However, he had a clear understanding of himself. He didn't have much utilitarianism and did not value fame and career. Therefore, he decided to stop at the Jinshi. As long as he passed the Jinshi, he would go home to continue teaching and never enter the examination room again.

Jinniang knew about Lin's father's thoughts, but she was not very clear. She had never heard Lin's father say it. Although Qing'er knew it well, she did not say it to her sister. So Jinniang really didn't know what Lin's father's plan was. But even if she knew it, she would support Lin's father's decision and would not force him to continue to make progress.

Lin's father has a kind of a noble character in his bones, and he is also stubborn, rigid and strict. Such people can be well-known for teaching and educating people, but if a person with such a personality becomes an official, he is not smooth enough, can not handle things, and does not know how to make any progress in the officialdom, and may even become cannon fodder.

Not to mention these off-topic words, but after that, as Imperial Heaven has calculated, the capital encountered a once-in-a-century heavy storm and snow.

The heavy snow took five days. Although it was big and small during the period, it was not until the fifth night that the snowflakes that were fluttering like catkins completely stopped.

The outside had long become a world covered in silver, and the eyes were covered in snow. I walked out of the room and looked out and almost got blinded.

Xiao Yuer opened the curtain while the adult was not prepared and ran out, then covered her eyes and cried out "Wow".

All the adults were alarmed, and Xiao Yuer cried and shouted, "Mom, I can't see it, mom, my eyes hurt so much."

Jinniang felt very distressed, so she picked up Xiaoyuer and walked towards the room.

Xiaoyuer was obviously blind. Fortunately, the symptoms were mild, so she just took a look and then closed her eyes quickly, so her eyes stopped hurting after just a while.

But the little baby was so mean and couldn't help sobbing after suffering a little bit of guilt. He was so aggrieved that he couldn't come out of Jinniang's arms.

Jinniang also blamed herself. Why didn’t she remember the snow blindness before?

The maids in the mansion were old and kept coming in and out of the house all day long. There was no sign of snow blindness. Jinniang, she was in the house all the time, and she didn't think of snow blindness. She was suddenly hit by Xiaoyuer, and she was also tired.

Next, Jinniang explained to Xiaoyuer what snow blindness is.

The child is energetic and curious. Xiaoyuer's eyes no longer hurt and she feels comfortable. She tilted her little head and listened to her mother's lecture seriously.

She had many questions, and asked, "Where does the snow come from?" and then asked, "Will the snow run away? It's snowing in the capital, is it snowing in my hometown?" "Why does it have a rainbow when the snow melts? Why can't the rainbow come out now?" "What is a rainbow? Have I seen it before?"

The little guy talks a lot, and asks everything, Jinniang is speechless, and several questions cannot give a proper answer.

She is a science student, and since high school she has returned all the knowledge of geography to her teacher. She can't remember the snow, rain, clouds, rainbows, and the principles of formation.

Jinniang looked like she was hopeless when she was born. It happened that Xu Erlang came in at this time. She felt relieved and stuffed the little fish over, "I don't know these questions, please ask your father."

Xu Erlang didn't know what happened, but after Xiao Yuer blinked her ignorant big eyes and asked questions one by one, Xu Erlang knew why Jinniang ran away in panic.

He couldn't help but chuckled twice. Jinniang, who was pruning flowers in the inner room, felt suffocated when she heard it. Oh, is this the contempt from the academic master? But the premise is that Xu Erlang must be a academic master.

Is he?

He is an ancient person...

Facts have proved that it was easy for the ancients to crush and kill a modern person. Especially Xu Erlang, an ancient man, was not an ordinary ignorant public. He was a very knowledgeable juren and could not say that he would become a Jinshi after the Chinese New Year. Therefore, according to his current knowledge, it is not difficult to explain a few issues to Xiao Yuer clearly.

Jinniang "..."

Jinniang was very depressed when she listened to the two fathers and daughters outside. She thought that she was also a top student who graduated from a first-class university. When did she fall to the point of being despised by an ancient man? She became more and more confused as she got back.

The sun came out two days after the snow, and it was said that it would not be cold but the snow would turn cold. This made a lot of sense. At least Jinniang almost got frozen into a dog.

She originally wanted to go outside to breathe fresh air, but she wore a marten cloak, deer leather boots, and held a small hand stove in her hand, which did not stop her from being cold all over.

For the sake of life, Jinniang came back directly.

After so many days of cultivation, Lin's father recovered a lot. Now he is energetic and has the time to go out for a walk and visit his daughter and granddaughter.

Lin’s father still knew the news that Jinniang was pregnant two days ago.

After he passed the imperial examination, he sent a letter to his family, but at that time, Jinniang's letter to Pingyang Town had not arrived yet, so he had no way to learn about Jinniang's pregnancy again.

It was still two days ago when I was having rice in the flower hall. Jinniang despised the fishy smell of seafood and was told by Pianpian. Only then did Lin's father know the good news. For a moment, Lin's father was also very happy and forced Xu Erlang to drink two glasses.

Nowadays, people think of children and blessings as a blessing.

Xiao Yuer is nearly three years old, and Jinniang is well in good health, so having another son is not a problem. Thinking that another grandson will come to life in June next year, Lin's father couldn't help but be happy.

≈ap;≈ap;≈ap;≈ap;

It was already the twelfth lunar month after Lin’s father arrived in the capital. The capital was bustling and lively, and at this time, there was a faint atmosphere of the New Year.

However, the Spring Festival is the Spring Festival, so even if the streets are full of students, there are many candidates from all over the restaurants and teahouses everywhere, and Lin’s father and Xu Erlang have no time to go out.

Xu Erlang has seen the scene two years ago and is too lazy to go out to "get to know". Lin's father is because age is the best experience. He has a deeper experience and is calm. If he wants to win the list in one fell swoop, he must not work harder.

It is also because Xu Erlang is now a famous teacher, Lin’s father has so many times when he asks Xu Erlang for advice.

Lin's father pulled his face down, and Xu Erlang was not embarrassed, but the father-in-law and son-in-law got along well.

Because of this period of close contact, Lin's father's evaluation of Xu Erlang has reached a higher level. He felt that his vision was really right at the time, and marrying Jinniang to Xu Erlang really found a good home for his daughter.

At the same time, he also realized that Xu Erlang was really not the kind of person who was distracted by others and was flirting with the new and tired of the old.

But if you don’t have that kind of mind now, it doesn’t mean you won’t be there in the future. People are fickle, so you should work hard. If you can give your daughter, you must give it to Xu Erlang, so that Jinniang also has a backer with her parents’ family.

Jinniang didn't know Lin's father's thoughts at all, but was quite surprised that Lin's father could pull himself in and ask Xu Erlang for advice.

Jinniang and Xu Erlang said, "I didn't expect my father to be like this, like this..." The word "is" seems to be inaccurate, but it probably means that.

Xu Erlang understood her thoughts at the sight and laughed at her, "You are not as clear as your father-in-law. My father-in-law said that there are orders of hearing the truth, and those who are good at it are teachers." It means that whoever learns well is a teacher, and whoever is a senior, and he doesn't care about his age or the length of his study. To be honest, Xu Erlang is more surprised than Jinniang who can put down his body like this, but after being surprised, he is solemn and admires Lin's father more and more.

Not to mention that Xu Erlang and Lin’s father studied hard all day, but the Xu family held another banquet this day.

The banquet was to entertain Xin Wei, Zheng Shunming, and Wang Ke.

Xu Erlang's other friends are all listed on the list, and now they have all made a name for themselves.

However, Wang Ke and Zheng Shunming were worried about their homes at that time, so they went home after the exam, but they did not go to Beijing with Lin’s father and Xin Wei. Now that they had settled their homes, they came to Beijing together.

It was also because they were two young and strong men, not as old as Lin's father and Xin Wei's father, but they were delayed for several days due to Lin's father's cold. Wang Ke and Zheng Shunming were all the way, and the time they took to the capital was much less than ten days than Xin Wei and Lin's father.

It is precisely because of this that ten days after Xin Wei and Lin’s father arrived in the capital, they also arrived in the capital.

Today, the Xu Mansion held a banquet to entertain them.

The banquet was still managed by Pianpian. The little girl is becoming more and more adept at handling the matters in the mansion. She is perfect and doesn't have to worry about Jinniang at all.

A banquet was held in the front yard, and there were only Jinniang, Madam Su, Pianpian Changle and Xiaoyuer in the back yard. Because Wang Ke and Suqian did not bring their families, and Xin Wei was still unmarried, the banquet was somewhat deserted.

On the other hand, the banquets ahead are much more lively.

Zheng Shunming started talking after two glasses of wine, saying that at this time he was like Xu Erlang last year, he participated in the spring exam just to gain a better understanding. As for the list, he didn't dare to think about it.

Although Zheng Shunming also passed the imperial examination, his ranking was not very good at the top of the exam. He ranked 32, which was slightly better than Xu Erlang when he was in the imperial examination, but he was not much better. After Xu Erlang came to the capital before, he had a famous teacher instructor, so he did not make it on the list. Therefore, he did not have hope for himself this year.

But the same thing is said, in order to gain knowledge, I thought about it all over and over at home, but it still came.

Wang Ke's grades are pretty good, about ten. If he is lucky, he may be on the list, but he is probably in the top three. If he is unlucky, he can only run away.

Wang Ke clearly saw this, "If I miss this time, I will stay in Beijing for three years, and I will refer to it again in three years."

Wang Ke's family was in a dilemma. He went to Beijing this time and could be said to have brought most of the money in his family. But even so, he was short of money and had no return trip. The silver in his pocket could at most support his spending for a month.

But good men can't always rely on their homes, so they plan to go out to find some work in a few days. Whether it's copying books or doing odd jobs, they can do whatever they want.

If he fails this year, he will be planning to earn money and study in the next three years, and then go home after the exam after three years.

Wang Ke was a big idea and he was also a taciturn person, so he didn't say much about this matter, even Zheng Shunming, who went to Beijing with him, did not mention anything more.

That is, after drinking a few glasses of wine, he felt a little dizzy, and some words ran out of his mouth without thinking. Otherwise, his plan would have to wait until the exam was over before he could speak it out.

After hearing this, some friends agreed and some disapproved. But most of them still thought that it was better for him. After all, there were many famous teachers in the capital, and compared with Shuozhou, it really became a remote place.

It is difficult for him to find someone to ask for advice in Shuozhou. After all, he is already a Juren, and there are not many people who can pass the Juren in Shuozhou, and there are only a limited number of people who can give him guidance.

On the other hand, there are schools, private schools, and academies everywhere in the capital. He asked patiently, and it was not difficult to find a master with a good reputation and good knowledge. He would not worship others at that time, so he would give them some filial piety so that they could promise him to answer questions. When they mentioned him a little at that time, he would not make any progress.

As soon as several people said this, Wang Ke became more and more convinced, "I plan so too."

Next is Xin Wei, who has no worries.

As the son of the military general's family, he even passed the imperial examination for Congwen, which can be regarded as adding glory to the family.

According to Xin Wei's revelation, his elder brother was so excited that he wanted to shape a golden body for the Bodhisattva.

These words made several friends laugh so hard. They pointed at Xin Wei one by one and said that he was lying. When he saw Brother Xin, he wanted to sue in front of Brother Xin, and said that Xin Wei deliberately smeared his image.

Suqian was a teasing person and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I want to make a golden body for the Bodhisattva. It's not Brother Ling, but Ling Ci?"

Xin Wei shook his head and said, "This is a bad thing. My mother did not mention the matter of shaping the golden body. Instead, she gave porridge and medicine at the city gate. She did a few days of good deeds. Thank you for Wenqu Xingjun for blessing me for winning the imperial examination."
