"Young Master Lin, do you need to rest for a while …" The teacher who taught Lin Jiabao, Li Zhengqiu, asked him.

Li Zhengqiu was the Crown Prince's disciple. He used to work in the Hanlin Academy. He was over fifty years old and had high attainments in calligraphy and painting.

Xuanyuan Hancheng asked Li Zhengqiu to teach Lin Jiabao.

Xuanyuan Hancheng told Li Zhengqiu that he didn't need Lin Jiabao to take the imperial examinations. He also didn't expect Lin Jiabao to be proficient in poetry, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

He only wanted him to know how to read and write. He hoped that Li Zhengqiu could give Lin Jiabao some pointers in calligraphy and painting.

Li Zhengqiu would come to Pingle Park every other day to teach Lin Jiabao for four hours. He would also leave homework for Lin Jiabao to practice on his own.

When Li Zhengqiu first received the Crown Prince's order, he wasn't happy about it.

But because it was the Crown Prince's order, he could only come to Pingle Park to teach Young Master Lin.

Li Zhengqiu also had the pride of a scholar. He thought that as a scholar, he actually had to teach the Crown Prince's little servant how to read and write …

But when Li Zhengqiu saw Lin Jiabao in person, he changed his mind.

Young Master Lin was very different from the rumors. His temperament was clean and pure, and he had the innocence of a child.

Looking at Lin Jiabao, who was not much older than his grandson, Li Zhengqiu easily had a good impression of him.

Young Master Lin was very polite and treated him like a teacher.

Young Master Lin was very serious and diligent in his studies. He could also complete the homework he gave him very well. Young Master Lin's talent in painting made him like this well-behaved and sensible Young Master Lin.

Li Zhengqiu also taught Young Master Lin more attentively.

"Teacher Li, I was distracted …" Lin Jiabao looked at Li Zhengqiu apologetically. He thought about how the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching and how his family would be arriving in the capital soon.

"Young Mistress Lin, are you tired?"

Li Zhengqiu looked at the crimson mark on Young Mistress Lin's neck that even her collar could not hide. He thought of the rumor that the Crown Prince stayed in Pingle Park every night.

As an experienced person, how could he not guess that Young Mistress Lin was tired?

Sigh … His Highness the Crown Prince is still young. He doesn't know how to control himself … Young Mistress Lin is still young. Look at how tired he is and how listless he is.

"Teacher, I'm not tired. I'll write properly and won't be distracted again." Lin Jiabao began to write seriously.

Now, most of the people in Pingle Park had the same thought as Li Zhengqiu. They had wronged the Crown Prince!

Xuanyuan Hancheng's days were very sweet and happy. The only drawback was that it was difficult to endure at night. Every night was a test of his self-control!

Xuanyuan Hancheng never knew that he would have such a strong desire for Lin Jiabao's young and tender body.

Every time his baby lay under his body, the look of trust and dependence on him was so seductive.

Every time, Xuanyuan Hancheng wanted to lick and kiss every inch of his baby's skin. Of course, he did that every time …

In short, Xuanyuan Hancheng could only satisfy his craving but could not swallow it down. It was a miserable stage where he could only stop after tasting it …

Lin Jiabao wrote a piece of paper seriously. Li Zhengqiu looked at it and commented on it one by one.

In the end, he gave Lin Jiabao two pages of homework.

Li Zhengqiu said meaningfully, "Young Master Lin, your health is more important. If you feel that two pages are too many, just write one.

Your health is the most important thing … Don't think that you can't control yourself just because you are young. You must know that a small stream flows for a long time … "

Lin Jiabao did not understand the hidden meaning in Teacher Li's words. He replied blankly, "Teacher, I understand.

Two pages are not too many. I can write it well. "

Li Zhengqiu looked at Young Master Lin's serious expression and sighed. He thought that if there was a chance in the future, he would have to boldly mention it to the Crown Prince …

After Li Zhengqiu left, Yuan Qing came forward and asked Young Master Lin with concern, "Young Master, do you feel tired?

Do you need to rest for a while? "

Lin Jiabao shook his head. He had taken an afternoon nap, so he did not feel tired.

"Young Master, do you have something on your mind?" Yuan Qing observed Young Master Lin's expression and asked.

Lin Jiabao still shook his head. He had learned the rules of the palace from the nannies.

Now that he was the Crown Prince's man, it was different from before. He could not casually meet with his family.

The rules of the palace were strict. How could they make an exception for a small servant like him?

In the Lin Family Village, Lin Dazhuang's house had just been expanded. As usual, Lin Dazhuang had ordered half a fan of pork from the village's butcher and invited Ri Zheng and other familiar people to a banquet.

After the expansion of the Lin Family's house, it was much bigger than before. Now, Lin Dazhuang's house had seven or eight rooms of different sizes. The area of the courtyard was also twice as big as before.

Now, there was a central room for Lin Dazhuang and his wife, Lin Jiawen and his wife, Lin Li'er and Lin Xiu 'er, and Lin Jiacai. In addition, there was a slightly bigger room reserved for Lin Jiabao.

"Dazhuang's family, your family's life is becoming more and more prosperous.

Jiawen passed the xiucai exam, and the family will soon have a child. Jia Bao is so promising in the palace.

It's really enviable! "Ri Zheng's family, who was sitting at the main table, praised Zhang Huiniang.

The villagers had heard from Lin Jiaojiao's mother that Lin Jiabao was working in the Empress' palace. Although Lin Jiaojiao's mother had repeatedly emphasized that Lin Jiabao was only doing odd jobs in the kitchen of the Empress' palace, and that her family's Jiaojiao was serving the Empress.

However, the villagers were not stupid. The Empress was the mother of the nation. Working in her palace was different from working in other places.

Didn't they see Lin Jiabao bring back such a big package?

The Lin family had already built a big house. In the future, they would be considered one of the top families in the Lin Family Village.

"Haha … … It's all because the children worked hard." Zhang Huiniang was very happy to hear her words and said modestly.

"If you ask me, Hui Niang, you should just wait to enjoy life. The children are so outstanding.

Your family's Jin 'er also married so well, and your family's Li' er is not young anymore. She's also very beautiful. Have you let your family's Jin 'er look for a good family in the city? "A woman on the side said.

Zhang Huiniang looked at Lin Li 'er, who was greeting Zhou Hai' er, and smiled. "Li 'er is not in a hurry. Besides, I don't want to marry her too far away from me."

The sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the courtyard. Lin Jing 'er had brought her husband, Qin Kaixing, and eldest son, Cong' er, over.

"Aiyo … … My good grandson!

Come, let grandma hug you … … "Zhang Huiniang picked up his little grandson and kissed him fiercely on the cheek, making Cong 'er chuckle.

Qin Kaixing went forward to greet his father-in-law and mother-in-law. "This time, on one hand, I came to congratulate father-in-law and mother-in-law on their new residence. On the other hand, I wanted to discuss the matter of going to the capital with father-in-law and eldest brother."

As he spoke, the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the courtyard. "Who else is coming?"

Lin Jing 'er looked outside the courtyard. A small carriage stopped, and a little servant girl jumped out of the carriage. She took some gifts from the carriage and walked towards them.

The little servant girl walked in front of them with the gifts in her hands and said to Lin Dazhuang and Zhang Huiniang: "Hello Master Lin, Mrs. Lin. I am from the Registrar Wang's family in the city. I have come to give you gifts on the orders of our family's young madam."

Everyone in the Lin family frowned when they heard this. Zhang Huiniang said to the little servant girl bluntly: "We appreciate your young madam's good intentions, but take the gifts back.

We won't accept them! "

The servant girl was in a deadlock with them for a while. Seeing that they were unwilling to accept the gifts, she had no choice but to take the gifts back.

The young madam of the Registrar Wang's family was Lin Chun 'er, who had gone to chase away bad luck.

Lin Chun 'er's luck was really good. After marrying into the Registrar Wang's family to chase away bad luck, her husband's condition gradually improved.

This made the two elders of the Wang family very fond of her and felt that she was the right person to chase away bad luck.

During that period of time, Lin Dali's family was very proud, especially when the Registrar Wang's family sent someone to intercede with Ri Zheng and the elders of the family to exempt Lin Dali from the family discipline.

Lin Dazhuang's family was so angry that they gnashed their teeth and announced in front of the family that they would not recognize Lin Dali as a relative.

Lin Dali and his wife didn't take it seriously and were very ostentatious in the village.

They bought silk clothes and wore gold and silver, as if they were afraid that others didn't know that they were rich.

After that, Lin Dali's family lived in a big house and bought ten mu of good farmland to rent out. They also bought two servants to serve them.

Lin Dali didn't work as a carpenter anymore and lived a good life collecting rent and enjoying life.

Whenever they met someone, they would brag about how rich they were and that they were the in-laws of the government, causing the villagers to ignore them.

Lin Chun 'er's husband recovered half a year later. Lin Chun' er also lived the life of a young madam.

Under the guidance of Mrs. Wang, she also entered the circle of the upper-class women in Pei County.

Lin Chun 'er also saw Lim Jing' er a few times and was very jealous. Looking at Lim Jing 'er's style of dress and the way she dressed, it seemed that she was living a better life than she was.

Hmph!

Lin Chun 'er thought that it was just marrying a merchant. What was so great about it …

Lin Chun 'er didn't have long to be proud of herself before she realized that her life as the young madam of a government official's family was not easy. Although she was indebted to the Wang family and the two elders of the Wang family treated her well.

Her husband, Wang Xuebo, didn't like her very much. Lin Chun 'er worked hard since she was young, so her skin was dark and rough. Wang Xuebo rarely went to her room because of her contribution in driving away the bad luck.

Lin Chun 'er was illiterate. Although Wang Xuebo didn't even pass the exam, he liked to pretend to be cultured.

The two of them couldn't get along at all. The most infuriating thing was that Wang Xuebo already had two servant girls who slept with him.

Those two bedwarmer maids were prettier than her, and they dominated her husband every night.

Only now did she realize how difficult it was to be a bride who didn't have the love of her husband, a child, or the support of her family.

At this time, Lin Chun 'er thought of her uncle's family. Especially after Lin Jiawen passed the xiucai exam, he kept trying to restore the relationship between the two families. Unfortunately, Lin Dazhuang's family refused every time.

Lin Chun 'er was secretly angry when she saw the servant girl return with gifts.

"She really doesn't know what's good for her …" Her parents had also gone to her house to apologize with gifts at her request, but they had returned empty-handed every time.

Sigh … if it wasn't for her younger brother Lin Jiawang who was so lazy, she would be lucky if he didn't drag her down.

She didn't need to curry favor with Lin Dazhuang's family.

She heard that Lin Jiabao had a good life in the palace. She wondered what would have happened if she had entered the palace …

A few days later, Lin Dazhuang and Lin Jiawen bid farewell to their families and set off for the capital with Qin Kaixing.

This time, Qin Kaixing brought two large carriages of cloth to the capital to test the waters. He was accompanied by two servants and four servants.

They traveled on official roads and arrived at the capital without a hitch after ten days.

It was already night when they entered the capital. They first found a clean inn to stay in.

"Father-in-law and Eldest Brother should go and rest. You've worked hard on the journey.

This time, the journey was smooth and we arrived early. There are still a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Tomorrow, I'll go and inquire about the situation with the people in the palace. "Qin Kaixing took good care of the Lin father and son along the way.

"Kaixing, you've worked hard too. Rest early."

Along the way, Lin Dazhuang was very satisfied with this son-in-law of his. Fortunately, they came out with him this time. His son-in-law was outstanding, and he arranged everything properly along the way, which made them a lot less worried.

The next morning, when they were having breakfast, Qin Kaixing had already inquired about the things he wanted to inquire about.

He told them the news he had heard, "On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, starting from seven in the morning, the palace servants will be allowed to leave the palace in batches to reunite with their families for two hours. The Empress' palace is naturally at the front. I think we will be able to see the family treasure early in the morning."

"That's great!" Lin Jiawen and Lin Dazhuang were very happy to hear this.

After breakfast, Qin Kaixing, Lin Jiawen, and Lin Dazhuang strolled around the capital.

The inn they stayed at was in the west of the city. There were more ordinary people living here, so it was very prosperous and lively.

On the east side of the city lived high officials and nobles. Further inside was the inner city of the Imperial City. The people who lived there were the relatives of the emperor and the officials of the imperial court.

Qin Kaixing strolled around for a while and rented a small courtyard. There was a shop in front of it.

After paying half a month's rent, everyone checked out of the inn in the afternoon and moved their things there.

Lin Dazhuang and Lin Jiawen helped to organize the goods and decorate the shop. Everything was ready by nightfall.

Qin Kaixing prepared to open for business the next day and hang up the signboard of the Qin Family's Cloth Shop.

"Father-in-law, Big Brother, I'll have to trouble you this afternoon.

Tomorrow will be ready, so there's no need to trouble you.

Just me and the others will be enough. "

"We're all family, so there's no need to be so polite.

Your Big Brother and I both have strength, haha! "Lin Dazhuang said.

"Oh right, I heard there's a place in the capital called" Youjian Bookstore ". Those who have scholarly honors can read there. Big Brother, you can go take a look tomorrow. It's at the intersection of the west and east of the city." Qin Kaixing said what he heard when he asked about the store today.

"Then we'll definitely go take a look tomorrow." Lin Jiawen looked forward to it.

There weren't many big bookstores in Pei County, so there weren't many books that could be borrowed.

Books were also very expensive, and his family wasn't very well off, so he couldn't buy books often.

The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Jiawen went to the bookstore that Qin Kaixing mentioned yesterday.

The bookstore was very big, with three whole floors. It was the largest bookstore that Lin Jiawen had ever seen.

Lin Jiawen walked in and was immediately greeted by a waiter.

"Brother, do you have scholarly honors? Please come and register."

After registering, the waiter said to Lin Jiawen, "You can read as much as you want on the first and second floors, but the books can't be taken out of the bookstore. They can only be read in the bookstore. If you need tea and snacks, you can go up to the third floor.

Please take care of the books. If there's any damage, you'll have to pay for it. "

Lin Jiawen thanked the waiter and walked around the first floor. There were many different types of books in the bookstore. Every row of bookshelves had tables and chairs.

There were many people in the bookstore, but it was very quiet. Lin Jiawen saw that everyone was sitting quietly and reading. Even if there were discussions, they were very quiet.

Lin Jiawen couldn't wait to choose a book that interested him and sat down to read.

In the next few days, Lin Jiawen immersed himself in a sea of knowledge and spent every day in the bookstore.

Lin Jiawen also met Qian Qingkun, who was also a scholar. The two of them hit it off at first sight and admired each other's talents.

"Brother Lin, haha, I really couldn't tell from your appearance. At first, I thought you were taking the martial arts exam!

I didn't think that we would have so many similar views.

It's great to meet a like-minded friend like you. We can often discuss articles together in the future. "

When Qian Qingkun met Lin Jiawen for the first time, he saw that he had a bear waist and a tiger's back. He was very curious that such a boorish person was actually a scholar, so he chatted with him as if they were close friends.

He didn't think that they would get along so well. After that, they went up to the third floor of the bookstore to drink tea and chat.

"Brother Qian, I'm also very happy to meet a friend like you. It's a pity that I came to the capital with my family to meet my younger brother for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'll have to go back after that." Lin Jiawen said regretfully that he hadn't read enough books in the bookstore.

"Ah!

That's a pity. Is your younger brother a palace servant?

Empress the Emperor's boundless benevolence, thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince's extermination of the barbarians. This Mid-Autumn Festival's favor has never been seen before. "

Qian Qingkun said again, "If you ask me, His Highness the Crown Prince is really an outstanding heir. Not only is he invincible in military matters, he also values us scholars. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is the one behind this bookstore. It's so that even poor children can read books."

"That's right. I'm really grateful for this favor.

Otherwise, I don't know when I'll be able to see my younger brother again!

Everyone in the family misses him. "Lin Jiawen said emotionally.

"I have an aunt who also works in the palace, so she knows a little.

Which palace does your younger brother work in? "Qian Qingkun asked.

"My younger brother is a palace servant in Empress Empress's palace. He makes snacks in the Imperial Dessert Room." Lin Jiawen answered Qian Qingkun truthfully.

"That's very good. Compared to other places, this is really a good place. Your younger brother is really lucky." Qian Qingkun thought for a moment.

"It's said that there's a secret about His Highness the Crown Prince in Empress Empress's palace."

Qian Qingkun said mysteriously, "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has taken a liking to a palace servant in Empress Empress's palace. He dotes on her day and night.

I heard that the palace servant is still very young! "

Lin Jiawen frowned when he heard this, but didn't think too much about it. He just laughed it off.

Which noble person didn't have romantic affairs?

His Highness the Crown Prince's wisdom and martial prowess had long been known throughout the world. He was decisive and ruthless in dealing with the barbarians.

Who would've thought that he had some fetishes …

Qin Kaixing was also progressing smoothly. In just a few days of opening, the fabrics were very good.

There were many good fabrics in the capital, and the designs were new and beautiful. However, the prices were also high.

The fabrics brought by Qin Kaixing were of good quality. The patterns were already outdated in their world, but in the capital, they were more fresh. Moreover, the prices were relatively affordable.

They were very popular with the people in the western part of the city.

Qin Kaixing was very happy. If this continued, they would be able to sell all the goods they brought this time in a few days.

They thought that coming to the capital this time was the right decision. Not only did they sell their stock, but they also made a small profit.

When they returned, they would buy some popular goods in the capital. When the time came, they would definitely make a lot of money. It would be even better if they could find a regular buyer.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival gradually approached, the Lin father, son, and Qin Kaixing were full of anticipation for their meeting with Lin Jiabao …
