Chapter fifty-eight

The next morning, Lin Jue was tidying up his backpack, packing books, and preparing the academy's books, Lin Boyong ordered his servants to ask Lin Jue to speak.

Lin Jue knew that the things that had been handed over to Lin Ke and the others last night had come to Lin Boyong's hands. Lin Ke and the others would not have intercepted those things, after all, it would be too obvious to do so. Moreover, these oral testimony can be written again, and Lin Jue could also call the woman from Wangyue Tower to Lin's house to prove it to him, so he could not hide the matter.

When he entered Lin Boyong's study, Lin Boyong, who had a morning tea party, was changing clothes under the maid's service. In the morning, he was going to Liangwang's mansion to meet Liangwang's mansion and asked him to go to the secret room of the Lin family's warehouse to see the two treasures that had been transported back from the foreign country through hardships. When he saw Liangwang, he had to dress up solemnly, so Lin Boyong trimmed his beard and specially wore the long gown with blue silk flowers that he only liked. This gown was the craft of the chief tailor of Long Qingxiang, a time-honored garment shop in Beijing. It was a master who specialized in making clothes for the palace. This gown was both fit and decent, low-key and not cheap, luxurious but also restrained.

Lin Jue stood in the study corridor and saluted respectfully: "My nephew Lin Jue has met the head of the family."

Lin Boyong opened his arms and let the maid tie buttons for him. Hearing this, he turned his head and said, "Lin Jue? Come in and talk."

Lin Jue thanked him and walked into the room. This second-entry large study room was where Lin Boyong rested before going out. The entire study room was as big as Lin Jue's courtyard. It was surrounded by bookshelves. However, there were not many books on the bookshelf. There were more antique ornaments on the shelves, and many strange things bought from Fanguo. Several huge screens of mountains, rivers, flowers and birds separated the study room into two, and a large table was placed in front of the screen. Lin Jue saw at a glance the stack of oral testimony he handed to Lin Ke last night on the table.

After putting on his clothes, Lin Boyong waved his maid away, walked to the table and sat down. He pointed to the stack of paper and said, "Lin Jue, this is what you handed over to me last night. Lin Ke gave it to me early this morning, and I saw it. I also understood the matter. Um... I didn't expect that there was such an inside story here, and you should have made it clear on the day of court training that day."

Lin Jue bowed and said, "Head of the family, I did blame me for not explaining it clearly that day. It was my fault."

Lin Boyong was very satisfied with Lin Jue's answer and smiled and said, "You are not wrong. You don't want to be empty-handed, so you beat the Ten Slaughter. Your stubborn temper is a bit like your father. Forget it, since there is a misunderstanding in this matter and the family law is wrong, you can't make any mistakes. If you beat the Ten Slaughter, you won't come back. However, the punishment that will stop issuing monthly can be cancelled. On the day of the court training next month, I will explain this to the children in my family and make you clear of your innocence."

Lin Jue bowed and said, "Thank you, the head of the family."

Lin Boyong said: "You have indeed suffered a little grievance in this matter. Let me tell me what compensation you want."

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "The head of the family is very kind, and my nephew is very grateful. But this compensation will be spared. Everything is a misunderstanding, and it will be fine if this matter is over earlier."

Lin Boyong smiled and said, "Very good, you know the general situation very well. So, are you going to study at Songshan Academy tomorrow? I'll ask you to prepare a car for you to get in and out sooner or later. What do you think?"

Lin Jue wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he thought it was a good compensation. In the Lin family, not everyone can get a special car and horse. Only Lin Boyong and the young masters had cars and cars in the Lin family, and there were only more than ten cars together. Sometimes men and their families could only ride in sedan chairs when they went out because they couldn't drive. If there was a car and horse for transportation, it would not only make it easier to travel to the academy in the morning and evening, but also demonstrated the improvement of their identity in the Lin family. Although this improvement was just an illusion, Lin Jue didn't care.

"Thank you, the head of the family, for your nephew is very grateful."

"Okay, then that's what I do. Lin Jue, I know that you may have been treated a little coldly and wronged. But in my eyes, the Lin family's children are treated equally. I can't write two words Lin, and my Lin family has been here for hundreds of years, because most of my Lin family's children consciously protect the Lin family. In the past, some of the Lin family's ancestors were even willing to die to protect the safety of other people in the family. Because of this, my Lin family has the sign that has been standing for hundreds of years. I actually have not high requirements for the Lin family's children. To sum up, I just want to say that in one sentence,

To sum up, all Lin family members, regardless of their ability, must work hard to make the Lin family's lintel. Only those with great ability do their best, while those with low ability do their little effort. All descendants of our Lin family must be united in unity and consistent goals, and strictly prohibit slandering or even betrayal. Under the family rules and regulations, everyone must follow their own discipline before they can work together. Not to mention bullying and fighting each other or even framing them. Once these behaviors are discovered, the Lin family will never be compatible and will be expelled from the family and must be severely punished by national laws." Lin Boyong looked at Lin Jue with bright eyes.

Lin Jue sneered in his heart. Lin Boyong's words were quite loud, but they were just empty talk. He wanted the Lin family's children to absolutely obey the head of the family and not to violate it at all. This is a coercive act that destroys human nature. The Great Zhou Dynasty had not been so high-pressure, but the Lin family was under high-pressure. The last few words he said were obviously warning. Lin Jue smelled the breath in it. Lin Boyong was telling himself that if you dare not abide by the rules, the consequences would be extremely serious.

"Lin Jue keeps the precepts in mind. My nephew only has one question, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not."

"Oh? You said."

"My nephew thinks that since the head of the family said that the Lin family's children would do their best to serve the Lin family, then the Lin family has thought about what to do for the children."

"What does this mean?" Lin Boyong frowned.

"I'm sorry for my nephew. Some children of the Lin family have difficulty in making a living, so how can they repay their families? They know etiquette when the granaries are full, and they know honor and disgrace when they have enough food and clothing. The livelihood issues are worrying, so how can they work together? Although the master's family issues monthly payments to each house, this monthly payment is only enough for a living. Children from other houses must study and take the exam, but in fact many people are not the material for studying at all. In order to respond to the call of the head of the family, they can only study, but they can achieve nothing in the end. It's better to find other ways to make a living, which can make a living without worry. The head of the family said that

Those with low abilities should do their best. My nephew thinks that if the family can be peaceful in the outer room, it will also be a small effort for the family. The head of the family wants everyone to use their strengths, and everyone should use their talents, rather than studying and taking exams. For example, this school actually only needs to set up family children to enlighten them. Choosing talents that can be created, concentrating financial resources, and investing in those outside academies that can create talents is the right way, rather than putting a group of people in a private school and letting a group of mediocre teachers teach. Even geniuses become mediocre in a private school.”

Lin Jue was a little excited, and couldn't stop talking at once, and said a lot of words. Lin Boyong's face was quite embarrassed, and his brows had already frowned, but Lin Jue didn't notice it. In Lin Boyong's opinion, Lin Jue was inappropriate in his actions to exile himself to take charge of the Lin family. The points he said were Lin Boyong's most proud actions, but they became inappropriate in Lin Jue. The unhappiness in Lin Boyong's heart can be imagined.

"Lin Jue, you're thinking too much. I just hope that everyone will do their duty well, but I don't want everyone to point fingers. Then isn't the Lin family in chaos?"

Lin Jue was alert and cursed himself inwardly, saying, "You are so stupid. In his eyes, you are nothing. He just felt a little guilty because of improper handling of the court training. You really think that he doesn't care about his identity and treats himself and others as stupid."

"I'm really sorry, my nephew is talking nonsense, so please don't take it seriously. Does the head of the family have anything else to teach? If not, my nephew will take it back." Lin Jue restrained his sharpness and bowed.

Lin Boyong waved his hand and said, "You go, by the way, I greeted Fang Daru for me, and said that I, Lin Boyong, have been admired for a long time and hope to visit him if I have the opportunity."

"My nephew must have brought the words. My nephew took his leave." Lin Jue bowed again and walked out quickly.

When he walked to the vestibule, Lin Jue was still blaming himself for being too scholarly and saying things he shouldn't say, revealing his heart. This would make Lin Boyong even more wary of himself.

Just when he was regretting, he suddenly looked up and saw a man dressed in a short dress and wrapped in a bandage lying on a soft chair in the yard. The man also saw Lin Jue, who was Huang Changqing. After being beaten last night, Huang Changqing could no longer walk, but in order to express his attitude of serving the Lin family, he ordered people to carry himself to the vestibule to prepare carriages and horses for Lin Boyong. In fact, he wanted to win sympathy in front of Lin Boyong. But he didn't expect to meet Lin Jue.

The moment when the eyes looked at each other, Huang Changqing's eyes blew on fire.

Lin Jue smiled and stepped forward and bowed, "Hello, Butler Huang."

"Hmph!" Huang Changqing snorted angrily.

"Butler Huang, Doctor Zhang from Fu Rentang is the best to treat this kind of injury. The Panax notoginseng Wuhua cream he used is very effective. I used this last time and got out of bed in two days. I recommend Butler Huang to use this to recover soon." Lin Jue said with a smile.

"Young Master Lao is worried. Also, don't call me the butler, I'm no longer the butler." Huang Changqing said coldly.

"What a pity. Butler Huang is an indispensable person in our Lin family. This is a pity." Lin Jue said smacking his lips.

"It's not because of you, or because you are powerful in your own way, I'm willing to give in to the disadvantage." Huang Changqing said coldly.

Lin Jue smiled and leaned forward and whispered, "If you don't mess with me, how can you be today? This is all your own fault. Remember this sentence, and when you gain the trust of the head of the family again in the future, don't mess with me. Otherwise, you will be even worse than today."
