Xue Jiazi

Lin Ruhai took Lin Daiyu to many places on this day. Of course, it was only those two villages, but what they saw were things they didn't usually see. There were stone mills, waterwheels, and Countless farm tools they didn't know before, seeing the hard work of the farmers with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky, seeing those women carrying water and hoeing the ground just like men, seeing children who started to help with work just as soon as they could walk Lin Daiyu was shocked. This is a world she has never seen before. It is another world. This world is so different from her usual small inner house. Lin Daiyu felt ashamed at this moment because of some small troubles.

On this day, they followed Ping An and got to know a lot of things, such as crops in the field, countless wild vegetables, and things they had heard of before but had never seen before, such as wormwood, which was grown during the Ching Ming Festival. The must-haves for the group, such as shepherd’s purse, the wild vegetables they often use as stuffing when they are vegetarian, and the blossoming fresh mushrooms, it’s the first time Lin Daiyu saw them grow in the woods, all these are so different , such a novelty.

When it was getting late and Lin Ruhai was taking Lin Daiyu to go home, Lin Daiyu suddenly raised her head and said to Ping An:

"Ping An, you go to pick some wild vegetables and come back. If you have no time, let those farmers help you pick some. We will buy them with money. When I go back, I will show them to my mother and brother. Let them also look at these vegetables. We will eat them in the evening." , I don’t know what it smells like! Well, Dad, let’s give Ping An money, money for running errands.”

Lin Daiyu blinked her big eyes and looked at Lin Ruhai, with a hint of pleading in her eyes, knowing her father, Mo Ruohai, Lin Ruhai knew at a glance that her daughter was looking at these peasants' poverty, thinking of ways to help, and by the way, she also wanted to Help Ping An, after all, Ping An said it at the beginning, the monthly bills in the Lin family for so many years are just paying off the debts, and just bought an acre of land, the life of the family may not be very easy.

It's just that a girl's kindness is one thing, and the rules of this family are another thing, so they shouldn't be confused. If everything is based on thoughts and doesn't pay attention to rules, it will be difficult for the housekeeper in the future, so Lin Ruhai thought After thinking for a while, he gently shook Lin Daiyu's hand, and then said to Ping An, who looked anxious and didn't know how to answer his girl's words:

"Ping An, you are good at leading the way today, and what you said is good, but I have gained some knowledge, you boy, you can be regarded as a bit capable, Lin Zhong, give him two taels of silver for peace, and give him another tael Let him go to collect some wild vegetables, and collect some of each kind. Tonight, the whole family will eat it once, and experience the taste of this farm. Let the servants in the family know the suffering of the poor people outside. , so that they don’t know their blessings while they are in the blessing. Remember, when you go back, go to the accountant to pay the bill, and the vegetables will be collected at the same price as ordinary vegetables, but don’t lose to these farmers, it’s not easy for them.”

If there is a reason for rewarding money, the reward will be justified and will not make other people feel unfair. This is the principle of a steward. The key to this is that as expected, when he said this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank him for safety and joy, even the others were also smiling. They didn't think about it, but thought that this kid had a good life, and he met him when he came out. What he is good at, he got the limelight and got the master's appreciation. Only Lin Zhong, who followed Lin Daiyu's words, understood in his heart what the reward was for this time, and he also understood that the master was teaching the girl about the world!

And Lin Daiyu has always been a smart child. If she said that she didn't quite understand what it meant when she heard her father talking at first, but when she saw the appearance of the other servants who followed behind, she also knew it in a daze. Second, I understand that the reason for the so-called reward I just said is very far-fetched, which makes daddy embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but blush a little, she just felt like she didn't understand anything, she felt a little inferior, as soon as she got into the carriage, she immediately lowered her head, silently, waiting for Lin Ruhai to get into the carriage Seeing her daughter like this, she couldn't help but want to laugh out loud. On the way home, Lin Ruhai hugged her daughter tightly, and began to slowly talk about this way of managing people, talking about these inferior things. Lin Daiyu broke her mind, and took some trivial matters at home as examples, and said to Lin Daiyu that she wanted to teach her daughter to be an adult sperm in the shortest possible time.

That night, a cold wild vegetable was served on the dining table of the Lin family. Lin Daiyu ate it, but felt the taste of grass, a little astringent, and her throat was scratched badly, but even so, she didn't spit it out and said she didn't want to eat it. Instead, he swallowed hard, with a difficult look, Jia Min felt distressed, even Lin Shuo, who was only three years old, felt the same.

"Sister, it doesn't taste good. If you don't eat it, you will feel uncomfortable."

Lin Shuo is three years old, maybe it's because Jia Min and Lin Ruhai's bodies were relatively healthy from the beginning, maybe it's because the Lin family had just cleared out a group of servants at that time, and the home environment was still safe, or because they had been raising very healthy children since they were born. Science, food is good, or because Lin Ruhai left Yangzhou, there is no one to plan in the back house. In short, this child is very healthy now, not as mellow as Xue Pan, but he is still fat and fat Yes, such a child, and the only son, is naturally doted on in every possible way in the Lin family. The so-called keeping it in the mouth for fear of melting, holding it in the hand for fear of falling, the whole family almost revolves around him alone.

But the Lin family has good genes!Neither Jia Min nor Lin Ruhai are stupid people, so the upbringing is also very good. Even if he is favored again, this child is still gentle, intelligent, and filial. He is also a brother to Lin Daiyu. Very friendly.

Seeing how hard Lin Daiyu is eating now, he naturally felt distressed immediately, and couldn't help dissuading his parents when they didn't speak, but what about Lin Daiyu!Hearing what my younger brother said, after swallowing the wild vegetables in his mouth hard, he said to Lin Shuo with a tight face:

"Brother, sister just found out today that many people outside can't eat, they are very bitter, and they live on such wild vegetables. My sister also wants to try it. What is it like to eat wild vegetables? I want to know how bitter they are. Only Knowing their hardships, I can know how sweet it is now that I was born in the Lin family and lived under the blessing of my parents. Brother, when you grow up, you should also know these things. lest you don’t understand people’s livelihood, you will be laughed at when you go out , the more you know, the more you know what you can eat and what you can't eat if you are out for a while in the future. Brother Xue always said that it is always good to learn more. The things that really belong to you that you can’t take away, not to mention the benefits of being close to yourself, even if you are penniless, you can live a self-sufficient life. I don’t know anything, and I regret it. At first, I thought what he said was a bit too much, but now it seems that this is the most reasonable saying! If those farmers didn’t know the purpose of these wild vegetables, how could they survive.”

Since Lin Daiyu's younger brother was born, she has heard from her mother that there is a word in this world called elder sister as mother, so she always thinks that it is her responsibility to take care of her younger brother. Who made her the elder sister!Therefore, it is impossible to be close to Lin Shuo. Whether it is food, clothing, or other things, she takes good care of her. Now she finds that she still has a lot of things she doesn't understand, and she is also anxious, for fear that she will be delayed. Younger brother, of course he wants to learn something by himself, and he also wants to tell his younger brother something. He is deeply afraid that because of his own negligence, his younger brother will be like himself, ignorant and ignorant of everything.

Hearing Lin Daiyu's words, Jia Min really wanted to say, don't do this, no matter how poor her family is, she wouldn't be in such a state, but before she could speak, Lin Ruhai grabbed her arm, and when she turned her head, she saw Lin Ruhai Also has a serious face.

"Let her talk, and let her eat too! Yu'er is right. Usually, I always feel that Pan'er is very thoughtful, as if he is always preparing for the decline of his family business. No matter how you look at it, it is a bit unfounded." It's very funny, but listening to it now, I feel that this child is not thoughtful, but understands the truth that Yi Duo doesn't overwhelm himself. Presumably, he, like Yu'er, has seen some misery in this prosperous age The person who loves you has a feeling in his heart, so he has such an idea, who can guarantee that his family will never decline, and who can guarantee that his life will be smooth, the right way is to be prepared for danger in times of peace!"

Having said that, Lin Ruhai couldn't help sighing, he took Lin Daiyu out today, of course it was to let Lin Daiyu learn more, but there was another point to relax, he just heard a piece of news a while ago, he The same subject from previous years was cast under the eldest prince's family in the early years, but now he has been liquidated by the new emperor, and his house has been ransacked. The world is impermanent!That's all it said!A scholar, a family of old and young, was exiled for three thousand miles, and I don’t know how many people will survive. They were all brought up in rich clothes and good food. How will they live then?

He didn't tell Jia Min about these things, and he didn't want to say anything, but he had a vague feeling that there would be many people whose homes were ransacked in the future, and maybe more people he knew would suffer such a fate .He didn't know if he would be safe and sound, so he was very satisfied with his daughter now, and he felt that after waiting for two years, his son should also take him to see and learn together, at least let them know more about the world, just in case One day, they can survive smoothly.

Jia Min didn't understand Lin Ruhai's thoughts, but she was a woman who put her husband first. Since her husband made it clear, she naturally wouldn't say anything, and she couldn't bear to talk about her own children, so she could only frown whispered:

"It's the same for Pan'er. Every time I write to Yu'er, I don't know what to say indiscriminately. Why do I even say such things?"

Listening to his wife's complaints, Lin Ruhai also understood that this was an act of venting his anger. If the husband couldn't speak up, the daughter and daughter were reluctant to speak up, so naturally the one who wasn't there would suffer, right? Taking Xue Pan as a scapegoat, he smiled and said a fair word:

"You've been wronged, isn't it, Pan'er? That's what he said when he was talking about embroidery with your daughter. He said that if he couldn't learn how to embroider, he wouldn't even be able to make a gift for his parents that day. , That's why you said something like this, if you say that, don't you live up to Pan'er's intention to help you persuade Yu'er."

Speaking of embroidery, Jia Min laughed.

"Yu'er is really serious. He said that his hands hurt and he refused to move the needle. Why didn't the child say that his hands hurt when he was writing with a pen? It's not that he doesn't like these things, he's a naughty one."

"It can be seen that our Yu'er was born to be raised as a boy, and you just treat it as another son."

The husband and wife talked and laughed, but their eyes were still fixed on Lin Daiyu and Lin Shuo, and Lin Shuo on the other side was silent when his sister talked about Xue Pan, and just gestured to the nurse next to him. I also picked up the wild vegetable with a chopstick, bit it with my deciduous teeth, swallowed slowly, and ate the millet porridge in my hand one bite at a time.

"How are you, brother?"

"It's not tasty, it's bitter."

"Then stop eating?"

"No, my sister eats it, and I eat it too. Brother Xue must have eaten it too, so I won't lose to him!"

This kid has to compare himself with Xue Pan in everything, so no wonder he, who made Xue Pan write letters to Lin Ruhai every now and then, sometimes asking about his homework, sometimes talking about the world, so that Lin Ruhai could always mention him, Lin Shuo Facing Xue Pan, he was both close and jealous. He was close because he only had one sister and no brother. Naturally, he regarded Xue Pan who was close to their family as an elder brother. What was jealous was that Xue Pan was good at homework and his family Dad always used Xue Pan's homework to tell him, telling him to learn from Xue Pan, so that he will strive for success in the future. He is only three years old, and there is such a lot of pressure. Can he not be jealous or angry?

Xue Pan, who was far away in Jinling, suddenly sneezed several times. He touched his nose and didn't know what was going on for a moment. He touched his clothes, and he didn't seem to have caught a cold!Then he didn't care anymore, now he is busy!But his father said that next year he will be 17 years old, and he should prepare for the scientific examination. Anyway, he should be born as a child first. As for being a scholar, his father didn't have any big demands for a while, to put it bluntly Well, all the people in the world, those who can become a scholar at the age of fifteen or seventeen, can all become geniuses. Although he thinks that his son can look good, he doesn't dare to expect his son to be able to match him all at once. People who have lived all over the world are not!Being able to be a child in his teens is enough for him to walk on the street with his head raised.

To be honest, Xue Pan has a bit of a headache. It’s not that he’s not good at anything else. As a college student educated by force-feeding, it’s not difficult at all to endorse things, and he can even do something small. The tricks are for others to refer to, and the ready-made library at home is rich in resources. Therefore, over the years, Xue Pan may not be able to learn the skills, but this knowledge is definitely first-class. Gathering with people, It means that you can pick up anything, just like in the original novel, Xue Baochai can tell allusions by just pointing at anything, even travel notes and prose, and even his wife said this. The writing of small articles is still passable, but it is really not good for stereotyped essays. Although he has patiently sorted out countless model essays, and then summed up a series of rules and tricks for writing stereotyped essays, he can actually write them. He himself looked a little awkward, and he belonged to a category of people whose level still needs to be improved.

And the most important thing is that Xue Pan can't compose poems!This is fatal. In this day and age, the level of so-called intellectuals is judged by poetic talent. If Xue Pan's poems are not good, it is a big disadvantage!Let alone Xue Pan himself because of this, even his father has a headache.As far as Xue Pan's level of poetry is concerned, it is actually not as good as his sister's now. Father Xue's gray hair is in a hurry, and there is nothing he can do!

What did you say?Plagiarism?Yes, Xue Pan has Baidu as his golden finger, if Baidu is not omnipotent!Although this is an overhead history, at any rate, it existed in this history for the last 5000 years until the end of the Ming Dynasty.As for the other poems of the Qing Dynasty, God, please forgive me, there are only a few that can be put on the table in his opinion, and each of them is either love or love, or sad and desolate, and Xue Pan is now His life is not suitable at all, how dare he use it?If you use it, anyone can see that it doesn't match Xue Pan's living environment, and you can immediately know that it is plagiarism, and don't mess it up and ruin your reputation in the end.So he is 1 dare not!

The most important thing is that the so-called poems made during this scientific research are all response poems, they are not eulogizing, or hazy. For such poems, there is no possibility of being passed down through the ages!Naturally, he couldn't find it in Baidu, so what other ideas could he have?No more, you don't have to think about all the back roads, the only thing you can do is to work hard yourself.

"The autumn wind blows up the dust, and everything falls apart. These two sentences are okay. I can read them. What's next?"

Xue Xun looked at the pen and ink that was clearly written by his son in his hand, frowned, nodded reluctantly, and began to ask, his son is really in debt!For a long time, he thought that this son was the unicorn that God turned over for their Xue family. No matter how he looked at him, he was pleasing to the eye, whether it was studying or making money, it was good for anything!Look, now the Xue family's business has increased by [-]%, the fortune of rectifying the loss-making family business has doubled, and the reputation has risen to more than one level. It is also possible to say that it is all due to Xue Pan.

It is my son himself, in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the flute is very good, the chess is famous, everyone knows, the calligraphy is not bad, and it looks like a shin when it is written. For his age, take Going out is also a shot.Needless to say, painting, who doesn't know in Jinling now, Mr. Xue's stick figures are extraordinarily vivid, what looks like what he draws! (Although it looks a bit like a comic, but it’s still a painting, the Xue family’s requirements are really not high!) Although these are somewhat different from the mainstream, they can still be regarded as elegant, and they can still be accepted by literati. , and now the Xue family has the most refined image outside, almost like the image ambassador of the Xue family.

Not to mention the farming mulberry, criminal name, ability in money and food. Sometimes Xue Xun feels that if he throws his son out to be a teacher or something, his son will definitely become the most powerful teacher. Look at his abacus beads Barra's, it's faster than the most powerful accountant at home. It knows rent calculations and water conservancy better than the most powerful village head outside. It can even tell one, two, and three things about what it does. Now it's the magistrate's yamen. We all know that our son is very knowledgeable and knows a lot about the affairs of the yamen. Sometimes there is not enough manpower, so he even asks his son to help!

The only thing he is looking forward to now is that his son can get better at writing poetry as soon as possible.Incorporating the poems and songs, I really wanted to win for Xue's family, but I didn't expect to die immediately. Sure enough, this person is not perfect, and such a son is not perfect either!

Seeing his father frowning, Xue Pan felt very helpless!He really worked hard, but he has no talent!In other words, when he came here, he was an adult whose thinking was basically fixed. About this poem, what, there is no such an atmosphere of education!Not to mention that this cramming-style education inhibits people from exuding sexual thinking. His so-called poetic romantic feelings, fantasies, and unrestrained passion are all a bit different from this era!what can he do

"Father, I haven't thought about it yet!"

Didn't think about it?Xue Xun sighed again. Although he didn't expect his son to have Cao Zhi's ability to compose poetry in seven steps, he could squeeze it out like toothpaste!But how could he only write half of it every time!It's terrible!How good is this?

As a businessman, he can always think about problems from different angles. For example, now, his mind starts to think in other ways.

"Son! If you don't have poetic talent, there's nothing you can do. Anyway, you usually don't write much poetry when you go out. Others know that you can't write poetry, and we don't force you to do everything. What about scientific research? Test, otherwise, you tick off the general scope of the poem, and then everyone in the family thinks, write more, you read slowly, and try to apply it directly when the time comes, do you see if it can be done?"

Why not!Xue Pan's eyes lit up when he heard this, this is definitely a good idea!Sure enough, Xue Xun is still very powerful!It's not unreasonable to own such a powerful genetic inheritance, as for this original body?It can only be said that the genes of the Wang family are not good!Oh, so he can rest assured that he will be able to pass next year. As for the future?Let's talk about that later, maybe in a few years I will really be enlightened!
