[Red Mansion] Sir, I'm a rough man

What a hell!

Jia Wan was dumbfounded. The reason why he became what he is today is because of the nondescript innate skills passed down orally by Mr. Yun in his previous life, and now there is a full version delivered to his door.

He co-authored with this thing?

This kind of thing is not something that can be figured out by just thinking about it. In addition, Jia Wan is not a person who loves to be entangled. After being surprised, he let go of it, and at the same time his confidence increased greatly: the so-called untie the bell must be tied. His problem It came from innate skills, so it should be able to be cured with innate skills.

At the beginning, he practiced with Mr. Yun for so long, but it was useless. Maybe it was because he didn't practice the basic skills of Taoism, such as refining and transforming Qi.

But to be honest, more than ten years of materialistic education is deeply ingrained in Jia Wan's mind. Even if he travels through time, it is difficult for him to believe in these supernatural things.

The practice of Buddhism and Taoism, in his mind, is more about training his own mind. In terms of practical effects, it is nothing more than strengthening the body, maintaining beauty and longevity.

All he wants right now is to cure his strange disease.

Opening the first page with great interest, Jia Wan was dumbfounded. He could understand the picture, and the meridians drawn on it were his own.

Jia Wan's eyes circled: one word, he can read and write, two words put together, he can guess at the same time, four words together... He felt that what he had learned before must be fake Chinese.

What the hell is this book!

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and smiled: "The old man has dabbled in Buddhism and Taoism."

This sentence sounds really familiar... Jia Wan got up without saying a word and bowed: "Disciple Jia Wan pays homage to Master."

The other party brought up this matter again and again, if he continued to refuse, he would be too ignorant.

To worship Lin Ruhai as a teacher is a wishful thing for anyone.

Not to mention academics, it takes only three years for a Tanhua to be released, and it will be a proper number one scholar in the college entrance examination for future generations.

What weighs more is his identity.

Don't look at Lin Ruhai's low official position at the moment, but the inspector of salt and censor is one of the most fat jobs in the world. If he is not the emperor's cronies, how can he be in this position?What's more, Lin Ruhai took office this time, with the intention of accepting orders in the face of danger, and his position in the heart of the new emperor can be imagined.

Coupled with the fact that he has a previous record and a Hanlin background, he will be qualified to be a minister in the future, plus he has saved the life of that mysterious boy...

The words "smooth progress" are by no means just words.

Lin Ruhai is highly educated, has a bright future, and after getting along with each other twice, his temperament is also compatible. Jia Wan worships him as a teacher, and he is not wronged. He is just wronged for him. Isn't it a bad reputation to be out of an idiot?

He poured a cup of tea and served it respectfully.

Lin Ruhai took it with a smile: "You don't need to be polite when you're playing, please hurry up."

After taking a sip and putting it aside, it is considered that the status of master and apprentice has been confirmed.

In this era, the master-student relationship is second only to father and son. Not to mention the formal apprenticeship, there are all kinds of etiquette and rules when you go to a private school to pay homage to a gentleman. However, Jia Wan is now wandering outside, and the only ragged clothes he stole from a fisherman’s house are the only ones he has. The ones who came here had no elders by their side, so they could only keep things simple for the time being.

……

After a month or so, in Jia's mansion, Jia's mother and others had just finished their lunch and were gathering together to talk and digest food. A daughter-in-law came in with an excited expression: "Old lady, madam, happy event, great happy event!"

Jia Mu laughed and said, "What kind of happy event is worth your surprise? Come and hear it."

The daughter-in-law said: "Old lady, madam, just now the master asked the boy to send a message to the second door, saying that Young Master Lin from Yangzhou wrote a letter... Second Master Wan has been found!"

These words, like a thunder of spring, stunned the whole group of people. It has been three months since Jia Wan was lost, and they have given up any hope. Who knows that at this time, they found it!

Several shouts of joy sounded, and Jiamu covered her chest, closed her eyes and said, "Amitabha, Amitabha... can be regarded as the blessing of a Bodhisattva."

He asked anxiously again: "Is it okay to play? Didn't you suffer anything?"

"All good! All good!" said the daughter-in-law: "Those kidnappers sent Wan Erye and dozens of children to the south of the Yangtze River. Uncle Lin got the letter and brought them all together with officials. It will be fine for a while!

"Uncle Lin also said in the letter that he saw that the second master Zhong Ling was handsome and talented, so he was moved by his love for talent, and wanted to take him in as an apprentice!"

Daiyu let out a soft cry of "ah", and then covered her mouth lightly.

"A good thing! A good thing!" Mother Jia was overjoyed, and said, "Guye Lin is so talented, it is a great fortune to be able to worship him as a teacher!"

The daughter-in-law said with a smile: "There are better ones. Uncle Lin found a genius doctor in the south of the Yangtze River to treat Wan Erye. It's broken!"

Jia Mu and Baoyu were so happy that they couldn't help themselves, and they just kept saying "yes".

The daughter-in-law said again: "Mr. Wan sent his greetings to the old lady, the master, and the ladies in the letter, saying that these days the elders were worried. It was his fault. When he recovered from his illness in the south of the Yangtze River, he would come back to the old lady, the old lady, and the old lady." Sorry ladies."

"Amitabha," Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "it can be seen that the previous incident was indeed a doomed doom for Wan Geer, and now it is finally a blessing in disguise, and a blessing in disguise."

Mrs. Xing glanced at Mrs. Wang, held the teacup and said nothing, Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "That's right, I just said, it's a great luck to play with brothers!"

The daughter-in-law said: "The master also said that the matter of appreciating a teacher is no small matter. Playing with the second master is still young and ignorant, but we must not be short of etiquette. The master has already called Uncle Zhen from the East Mansion to discuss it, and said that we will let him go." Prepare the gift in advance, and send it to Jiangnan along with the thank you gift later."

Jia Mu said, "It should be like this."

Seeing that the daughter-in-law had nothing else to say, he rewarded her with silver and sent her out, and told Wang Xifeng to prepare a gift.

Wang Xifeng responded and went, Xueyan hurried in and said to Daiyu: "Girl, just now the mothers brought in many boxes, saying that the master sent them from Jiangnan, and there was a letter with them, girl, go and have a look." Bar!"

Daiyu pursed her lips and looked at Jiamu with a smile. Jiamu nodded. Just as Daiyu was about to get up, she saw a small figure rushing into the door, throwing herself on Jiamu's lap and crying loudly. Xichun.

Xichun cried sadly and joyfully, causing Jiamu and others to cry again, and several sisters stepped forward to comfort her.

Xichun was sobbing, when suddenly her hand was held softly, she looked up tearfully, and saw Daiyu's face that was also full of tears.

She threw herself into Daiyu's arms, choked up and said, "Sister Lin!"

"Fourth sister..."

Both of them felt a strong sense of intimacy in their hearts... The people they were closest to and cared about the most were together now, how could they not feel pity for each other?

They are only sons-in-law, and Jia Wan is the bridge. The relationship between them is countless times closer than before.

……

Now that Jia Wan has become Lin Ruhai's apprentice, he has changed from a guest to a master in the Lin family, living more and more comfortably.After getting along for several months, he and Lin Ruhai became closer and closer, and felt more and more that this master was right.

The Taoist book has already been explained, and Jia Wan still reports to Lin Ruhai's study on time every day.

The so-called good teacher is that no matter how boring something is, he can tell it with wit and wit—fortunately, Lin Ruhai is a good teacher who cannot be better.

He knew that Jia Wan didn't like to write poems or essays, and hated endorsements even more, so he didn't force him. Apart from practicing calligraphy, his daily after-school homework was to read certain pages of the book carefully several times. On the first day, ask him what he thinks first, and then start talking about it. If the two disagree, Lin Ruhai will not annoy him, and would rather argue with him than use his husband's airs to suppress him.

The content of calligraphy practice at night is to copy the few pages of the book that I talked about during the day.

Due to Lin Ruhai's busy schedule, the lecture time is not long, ranging from two quarters of an hour to more than half an hour a day, and sometimes even two quarters of an hour can't be spared, so Jia Wan is asked to read books and practice calligraphy by himself.

I don't know whether his memory has improved or Lin Ruhai's lectures are too vivid. Jia Wan found that after such a round, although he didn't memorize the book, the content of the book seemed to be rooted into his brain. Here, I can't forget it even if I want to.

However, the articles and poems are still ignorant.

Jia Wan is very satisfied with the status quo. He has never thought about taking the imperial examination. It doesn't matter whether he can write articles, but knowledge and knowledge are still necessary. He can't really be an idiot, can he?

"My lord," Lin Ruhai entered the door for Jia Wan's book boy Yuyan while reading a book, and said, "Master Jia from Jinling sent some cans of Yuhua tea, and the master asked the younger one to bring a can and said If you are used to drinking, go and get it again."

"Master, this is embarrassing me." Jia Wan said, "Don't he know that every tea tastes the same in my mouth?"

He was also surprised and said, "Which master Jia from Jinling is it?"

It's true that the Jia family's origin is in Jinling, but how could the Jia family over there have anything to do with his master?

Yuyan smiled and said: "Young Master, I don't know. Although the surname is Jia, this Master Jia from Jiayu Village is not of the same family as the Young Master. He was born as a Jinshi, and he was a prefect for a few days. Our family has been the lady's husband for a year. I heard that His Majesty was going to use the officials who were dismissed before, so I begged our master, and the master entrusted the second master of your family to restore the official position... Now it's time Ren, of course I have to write a letter to thank you."

Jia Wan was dumbfounded.

He has only three impressions of the whole Dream of Red Mansions, one is when Daiyu enters Jia's mansion, the other is when Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden, and the third is when the gourd monk sentenced the gourd case. Of course he knows who Jia Yucun is, but he never expected that Jia Yucun has such a deep connection with the Lin family that even his reinstatement was done by his master.

She couldn't help curling her lips: his master's vision is so bad.

After thinking about it, he got up and went to the study to find Lin Ruhai: For a villain like Jia Yucun who only holds grudges but not gratitude, it's better to draw a clear line earlier.

Lin Ruhai was writing a reply when he saw Jia Wan coming over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jia Wan said: "Master, that Jia Yucun...I heard that he is not a good person."

Lin Ruhai laughed, and said, "Where did you hear this gossip? You've never met him before, so how do you know he's not a good person? What a child's talk."

Jia Wan said: "Although I haven't seen it, you have, master, why do you want to help him get back to his post?"

Lin Ruhai put down his pen, looked at him and said, "Then tell me, why did His Majesty want to restore a large number of officials who were dismissed?"

Jia Wan was slightly taken aback, only to realize that this matter was weird.

It is not uncommon for officials to be dismissed and then revived. They either go out of their own way, or are remembered by the emperor or the superior because of their outstanding talents, but it has never been heard that the emperor will directly announce to the world, saying, "You dismissed Come all the officials, I am ready to use you again."

"Is there no one available, Your Majesty?"

But this is too unbelievable. The imperial court has only one imperial examination every three years, and there is a steady stream of talents waiting for the emperor to choose. I have only heard that there are too many officials, which lead to "redundant officials" and "waste". I have never heard of the emperor looking for No one is an official.

"It's not that no one can use it, it's just that I don't feel relieved to use it."

Jia Wan suddenly realized that the so-called one emperor and one courtier changed to another time. When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will naturally reuse his cronies, and the ministers left before will naturally also accept them. Use those who can be used, and withdraw those who can’t. .

But the situation is different now, the emperor has changed, but the courtiers haven't changed, he is still the emperor's man, but the emperor doesn't like the emperor, and he is desperately dragging his hind legs...

So the emperor was embarrassed, his cronies could not support the entire officialdom, and the rest, the old ones were worried, and the newcomers couldn't use it—the new division Jinshi, even the number one scholar and the first rank can only start from the sixth-rank Hanlin. Water can't save the near fire. As a last resort, we can only select talents from among the officials who were demoted.

Although he thought about the truth, Jia Wan was still unconvinced: "But Jia Yucun..."

Lin Ruhai said: "He was dismissed at the beginning because he was accused by the superior of 'being cunning and tampering with etiquette', so it is better to use it than those dismissed because of mediocrity, incompetence, corruption and perverting the law, right? And as far as I can see, this person is indeed talented and worthy of use."

Jia Wan was speechless. Because of the texts he had read in his previous life, he talked bad things about Jia Yucun. How could he convince Lin Ruhai who had been in contact with Jia Yucun himself?

Moreover, according to Lin Ruhai's implication, Jia Yu's reinstatement as the village official might be the result of his secret efforts, and Jia Zheng's recommendation is probably just a cover.

Forget it, things in the officialdom are too complicated, I'm a "child", so I'd better play with the mud obediently!

Just about to leave, Lin Ruhai changed the subject and sighed: "However, you are right when you say that he is not a good person, and I never thought that years of time have worn away his edges and corners. There is no strength of character, and the bottom line is lost."

Jia Wan's eyes widened: "Huh?"

Lin Ruhai said: "In his letter, he mentioned a case that was settled earlier, and it has something to do with your Jia family..."

Briefly explaining Xue Pan's case, he said: "Fortunately, His Majesty's reinstatement of officials is only an expedient measure. When the situation calms down, he will save the chaff and save the chaff... Let's talk about this matter later."
