Jinyu of the Red Chamber

From Jia's mansion to Lin's mansion, Lin Ruhai asked Lin Daiyu to go back to her room to rest, but let Lin Jinyu follow her to the study.

Lin Ruhai's study room is extremely elegant, with carved rosewood boards on all sides, and two sets of pens and inks hanging on the two sides, which were inscribed by Lin Ruhai himself. On the desk, besides pens, inks, paper, and inkstone, there is also an incense burner, burning a faint Yue Linxiang, except for a few antiques on the bookshelf, they are all books, and a guqin is placed at the bottom. Although there are not many decorations in the room, all of them are high-quality goods.

Lin Jinyu thought to himself, his father is a nostalgic person, and he arranged this study almost the same as the study in his hometown.

Lin Ruhai saw Lin Jinyu's scrutiny, and couldn't help smiling: "Did you take a fancy to me?"

"I don't dare, my son. I just want to learn a thing or two from seeing how elegantly my father's study is furnished." Lin Jinyu raised her lips and smiled.

Lin Ruhai snorted, pointed at Lin Jinyu and said, "It's good if you have such a heart. Although our Lin family has some property, we can't be as extravagant as the Jia family."

"The child knows, and the father can rest assured." Lin Jinyu replied with a smile, her big eyes were black with a smile.

"Yu'er is a daughter, so naturally she needs to be pampered. You have been sensible since you were a child, and I never need to worry about learning. It's just the same. You always like those rich and expensive things on weekdays. You don't use them if they are not the best. I dote on you, although I don't like it, I have never said anything about you, but today you have seen the behavior of the Jia family. If you learn like that in the future and wipe out the Lin family, let me see how I will forgive you. You." Lin Ruhai saw that the descendants of Jia's mansion were drunk and gold fans, cockfighting and horse-riding, and he couldn't help but think of Lin Jinyu. Although he knew that Jinyu had a firm heart, he would definitely not be like Jia's, but because Jinyu was in the next day The person who behaves in style is rich and noble, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he ordered a few words.

"The child knows it, and he will definitely not disappoint his father." Lin Jinyu understood Lin Ruhai's worry, and he knew what was wrong with him, but he couldn't change it for more than 20 years in his previous life, and it will be difficult in this life.

Lin Ruhai nodded: "You know what's in your mind. You will go to Mr. Zhou to study from tomorrow. You are very loose on weekdays, and you follow you at home. It's just that you behave well at Mr. Zhou's place." , Don’t let me hear those frivolous words, or watch your legs carefully.”

Lin Jinyu naturally nodded in response to Lin Ruhai's words, but he understood in his heart that some things are right, but some things are not. Misfortune comes out of his mouth, and he has to restrain his temper. If not, the entire Lin family will be affected.

Seeing that Lin Jinyu was being taught, Lin Ruhai was very relieved. He had not been a splendid life, but he had two unparalleled sons and daughters. Even if he went underground, he would be worthy of his ancestors.

"You go and rest! You have to get up early tomorrow." Lin Ruhai calmed down slightly, with a pleasant expression.

Lin Jinyu also knew that he would get up early tomorrow, so he bowed to Lin Ruhai immediately, and then left the study.

The next morning, before the fifth watch, Lin Jinyu got up and was washed and washed by the maids. Lin Jinyu changed into newly made clothes, packed up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and was about to go to Junyi Academy.

"My lord, it's not too late to put on your cloak and go. Even though it's October, it's still very cold in the morning and evening." Nan Xiang, a maidservant with a large red brocade embroidered cloak with white bamboo on her arm, said with a clever smile, "My lord today. It's the first day of class, and I heard that old gentlemen like fresh colors, and this big red cloak was made by the previous sister Yunxi."

"Her hands are always a coincidence." Lin Jinyu took the cloak, but she didn't need a maid to serve her. She put it on and tightened the sides. Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "Let Yunxi make one for the girl, and follow me." This material is fine, don’t use such bright colors, girls like plain styles.”

"I don't need to be told by the uncle. Sister Yunxi has already made it for the girl. The goose-yellow cloak is trimmed with rabbit fur and embroidered with pink and white peach blossoms. It is very beautiful." Nan Xiang said with a smile. Among the maidservants, Sister Yunxi's hands are the most ingenious.

Lin Jinyu nodded, and said with a smile: "As long as you can speak, is it possible that you want to ask for a reward?"

"If the uncle wants to reward, the slaves will be very happy." Nan Xiang said with a smile, she is the youngest, and she has a lively temperament. Whatever words come out of her mouth are very flattering and make people happy.

"Rewards, not only rewards for you, the big maids in each courtyard will get five taels of silver, and you can tell the housekeeper after a while to ask for a good job." Lin Jinyu has always been a generous owner, and he is not stingy with the maids, and the rewards and punishments are very clear. .

Nan Xiang blessed himself with a smile, and said with a smile: "The servant girl will thank the uncle for all the sisters first." After finishing speaking, Nan Xiang lifted the curtain, and turned her pretty face slightly.

Lin Jinyu chuckled, shook her head, and stepped out of the room.

Although Lin Jinyu is small and her stature is still small, she likes riding horses very much. The most impatient thing is to sit in a sedan chair. If it is not necessary, he must ride a horse.And his riding skills are excellent, and his posture on horseback is even more admirable.

Arriving outside the gate of Junyi Academy, Lin Jinyu jumped off the horse, handed the reins to the boy, gave some instructions, and then went to see Mr.

When Lin Jinyu arrived, Mr. Zhou held a book in his hand and read it with great interest. Lin Jinyu stood outside the door without making a sound. It wasn't until Mr. Zhou noticed it that he greeted him with a smile, "Student has seen Mr."

"Why didn't you call me when you came?" Mr. Zhou smiled lightly.

"Students see that Mr. is reading, so they don't dare to interrupt." Lin Jinyu raised her lips and smiled, her eyes narrowed into crescents.

Mr. Zhou laughed, and pointed at Lin Jinyu: "You are a monkey, but you can talk. Let me teach you a lesson today."

"Students respectfully listen to the teacher's instruction." Lin Jinyu straightened his face and sat respectfully on the small soft pier that Mr. Zhou prepared for him.

Mr. Zhou closed the book in his hand, but he didn't take out any Annotations of Four Books or Zhiyi Conghua like ordinary gentlemen. He just leaned on the back of the chair leisurely, squinted his eyes slightly, shook his head and opened his mouth and said: "A man who is a minister It is impossible to be ignorant of the Spring and Autumn Period, to abide by the scriptures without knowing the appropriateness, to be subject to changes without knowing the power..."

Amidst Mr. Zhou's low and hoarse reading voice, Lin Jinyu listened carefully, answering Mr. Zhou's questions from time to time, causing Mr. Zhou to smile or frown. It was not until noon that Mr. Zhou asked someone to prepare lunch. Lin Jinyu took a short rest.

"You can be regarded as the most intelligent student among the students I have taught, and you have a firm heart, but your temper is too unruly. As a minister, you must remember the word 'cautious', and you must not be rampant, and lose your duty." Mr. Zhou said lightly. Said in a loud voice, these words can be regarded as a reminder to Lin Jinyu. As an emperor teacher who assisted the second generation of emperors, Mr. Zhou has always been cautious. Now that he can mention Lin Jinyu in this way, it can be regarded as a lot of love for him.

Lin Jinyu smiled and nodded solemnly. As a person in the 21st century, he was born into a military family, so he naturally carries arrogance. No matter where he goes, he is always surrounded by stars. Even in this life, the Lin family in Yangzhou is also a nobleman. Noble family, wherever he goes, others are more humble to him. Now that he wants to take the road of official career, he has to correct some problems.

"It is said that the master made an exception and accepted a closed disciple, presumably this is the doll?" A smiling voice naturally sounded outside the door, the tone was extremely casual.

Lin Jinyu was slightly stunned. He had heard his father say about Mr. Zhou's temper this time. This person is so frivolous, but which senior brother is he?

As the people walked slowly, Lin Jinyu looked up, but was a little surprised. The two were two teenagers around fifteen or sixteen. generally.

"Why did you come here?" Mr. Zhou was not annoyed by the unexpected visitor, but laughed instead.

"Student Jun Se gave my respects to the master. I heard that the master has accepted a young apprentice early today. The student naturally wants to come and see the junior." The speaker was the taller of the two, dressed in moon White brocade gown with wide sleeves embroidered with dark patterns, with a slight smile in his eyes, and his actions are as elegant as flowing clouds and flowing water.

"Jinyu, come here to meet your senior brother." Mr. Zhou narrowed his eyes and smiled, beckoning to Lin Jinyu.

Lin Jinyu got up from the soft pier, walked in front of the visitor with graceful steps, clasped her hands to hold the peer salute, and said with a smile: "Jinyu has met senior brother."

"Jinyu is too polite." Jun Se smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to support Lin Jinyu, looked at him carefully, and smiled at Mr. Zhou: "No wonder the master wants to accept Jinyu as his apprentice, it turns out that he is such a wonderful person. "

Hearing this, Lin Jinyu frowned slightly, raised her small face slightly, and hooked her red mouth, revealing two rows of small porcelain teeth: "Senior Brother, this is really a wonderful person just looking at him. !"

Jun Se didn't expect Lin Jinyu to be so eloquent, so he was taken aback for a moment, and then said loudly: "It's senior brother Meng Lang, please don't blame Junior Brother Jinyu."

"Don't dare." Lin Jinyu said with a smile, but there was no smile in her eyes.

Jun Se looked at Lin Jinyu's exquisite chin raised high, her white jade-like face was covered with a layer of frost, her little mouth was as red as a snowy plum in winter, so gorgeous that people couldn't take their eyes off it, but it was slightly Beeping, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Lin Jinyu glanced at Junse strangely, and thought that this person was really weird.

"Early this morning, I heard that the master has accepted an apprentice. As a senior, I can't be stingy. I have prepared a small gift, and I ask the younger brother not to dislike it." Junse suppressed the smile on his lips, and took it out of his sleeve Take out a jade pendant.

Lin Jinyu took a look at Mr. Zhou, saw his smiling face, and thanked Jun Se, took the jade pendant with both hands, and saw that it was a picture of a peacock opening its tail. The carving was extremely detailed, as if it was full of life. Speaking of the quality of the jade, even the carver is rare, it is an extraordinary thing, but no matter how Lin Jinyu sees this jade pendant, it doesn't look like it was prepared earlier, it looks like it was given away casually.

Lin Jinyu's guess was right, this jade pendant was indeed not prepared by Junse in advance, but he saw the proud appearance of this apprentice newly recruited by his husband, and he was so delicate that it reminded him of that extremely precious little pendant. The peacock, especially its luxurious and elegant appearance, made people feel like pampering them from the bottom of their hearts, so they gave away the things they had always carried with them.

Lin Jinyu received such a valuable item, so he naturally wanted to return the gift, but he had never heard that he had such a young senior brother before, so he was unprepared for a while, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. During hesitation, Lin Jinyu was wearing Liuyun The Baifu jade pendant was taken off, and said with a smile: "Jinyu didn't know there was such a senior brother before, it was because Jinyu was rude, please don't blame me, this jade pendant was worn by Jinyu since she was a child, please don't let it go dislike."

"No, no." Junse shook the fan in his hand, took it with a smile, and then very naturally took off the jade pendant he had worn, and replaced it with Lin Jinyu's.

Lin Jinyu was a little taken aback by Jun Se's straightforward behavior. After living here for so many years, he had never seen such a vigorous person.

"I've seen you too, and you still don't go back." Mr. Zhou couldn't help shaking his head and smiling when he saw Jun Se's actions.

But Junse said to Mr. Zhou with a smile: "Student hasn't seen Mr. for a long time, so naturally he is thinking about it. Today, he has such a good-for-nothing junior. Mr. still has to be an apprentice." After all, Junse He also winked at Mr. Zhou aggrievedly.

"Extremely shameless." The other man who had been silent all this time opened his mouth lightly. Although this man was also extremely handsome, his face was indifferent, and his eyes were full of ice.

"Yinli, how can you say that about elder brother!" Junse looked so shocked that she almost wanted to cry to express her sadness.

"Do you dare to be more shameless?" Yinli twitched the corner of his mouth a few times, gave Junse a hard look, then ignored him, and stared at Lin Jinyu instead, then nodded inexplicably, and then Then he greeted Mr. Zhou with a big gift: "Give your respect to Mr. Zhou."

Lin Jinyu was completely baffled by these two people. It can only be said that there are too many weird people these days, and he even met them all.

Seeing that Yinli's attention was not on himself at all, Jun Se was bored, and instead focused on Lin Jinyu, looking like a good senior, and asked, "How old is Jinyu?"

"It's eight years old." Lin Jinyu replied with a faint smile.

"Do you have fame and fame now?" Jun Se continued to ask, his eyes never leaving Lin Jinyu, as if he wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Lin Jinyu coughed and said, "Jinyu is not talented, and has already passed this year's provincial examination."

Jun Se, on the other hand, looked at Lin Jinyu again, and praised with a smile: "Young talent is what you call Jinyu. It's really amazing that you passed the provincial examination at such a young age. Are you planning to take the current examination?"

"Jinyu has little talent and learning, and plans to spend a few more years." Lin Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes narrowed into crescents, feeling a little shy.

Junse nodded, and praised Mr. Zhou: "No wonder Mr. made an exception! It turns out that he has accepted such a good disciple."

Mr. Zhou had a smile in his eyes, stroking his beautiful beard with his hand, and said with a smile: "Your junior brother is really good, do you know what results you have obtained in the local examination?"

"Could it be Xie Yuan?" Jun Se said casually, but she didn't want Mr. Zhou to nod her head. She glanced at Lin Jinyu again and asked quickly, "Who did Jinyu learn from in the early years?"

"Jinyu has always been taught by his father, but he has not yet become a teacher." Lin Jinyu said with a bit of pride, Lin Ruhai's talent is indeed amazing.

"I don't know who uncle is?" Jun Se looked at Lin Jinyu's clothes and he didn't look like he was from an ordinary family, but he hadn't heard of such a young talent in Beijing. It seemed that he was transferred to Beijing. Thinking of the recent transfer The people in Beijing, Jun Se's eyes lit up, and before Lin Jinyu could answer, he asked, "But Lin Ruhai, Lord Lin?"

"It's my father." Lin Jinyu was not surprised that Junse knew Lin Ruhai's name. After all, Mr. Zhou's previous apprentices were all sons of aristocratic families, and this Chang'an aristocratic family has never had any secrets at all.

If it is said that Lin Jinyu was a sweet pastry in Junse's eyes earlier, but now she has directly sublimated into a steaming steamed stuffed bun with thin skin and big stuffing just out of the pan, who is Lin Ruhai!The favored minister many years ago, now the capable minister in the eyes of the present minister, look at Lin Ruhai, the place where he was sent out is the affluent land of Yangzhou, and he is also a very rich job, once back to Beijing!He is a second-rank Hanlin bachelor, noble and decent, and was appointed as the deputy chief examiner of Enke in the current examination. Looking at his current posture, it will be a matter of time before he enters the cabinet. With such a father, Lin Jinyu has a bright future. In front of you!

"Jinyu has a good father!" Junse said with emotion.

Lin Jinyu smiled slightly, but didn't make a fuss to understand what Jun Se said, was it a compliment or a mockery?

"Sir, we won't disturb your class anymore, so we're leaving now." Yinli cupped his hands to Mr. Zhou, ignoring Junse's squinted eyes, and left with a straight tug, like a gust of wind. I can still hear Junse yelling there.

Mr. Zhou did not react to the unreasonable behavior of the two, but asked Lin Jinyu with a smile: "What do you think of these two?"

"Mister's students are naturally good." Lin Jinyu smiled.

Mr. Zhou shook his head: "It's not true, you should tell the truth."

Lin Jinyu was silent for a while, and said after deliberation: "That Junse may seem frivolous, but he may not be so in his bones, his eyes are extremely determined, his heart is determined, and although Yin Yi is expressionless, his face is cold. With the color of Shuang, it can be seen that he is a person of great affection, because when he salutes the gentleman, the respect in his eyes is extremely strong, and his gestures are extremely respectful."

Mr. Zhou smiled and nodded, looked at Lin Jinyu with an expression of comfort, and praised softly: "You can teach a child, and a child can be taught."
