Lin Jue of the Red Chamber

There are rows of bookshelves at the entrance of this Bai Xuetang, there are dozens of them, books exuding the fragrance of ink are placed on the half-foot-high pine bookshelves, and there is a row of seats on the left for guests to read.On the right side of the desk are some different kinds of paper and brushes, not many in number, but they are all high-quality goods.What's even more amazing is that the store even arranged a small desk with a height of half a meter, which is just right for children.Moreover, the windows are rare glass windows, which make the house brighter, and it can also be seen that the store has a lot of money. You must know that only rich families can use glass windows now.There are many people in the store but not chaotic.When a guest comes to the door, the man just goes up to serve him, but doesn't ask any questions.The whole environment creates a quiet and comfortable feeling, which makes people even breathe lightly.

Except for Lin Jue who had been here once before, the others were here for the first time.At this time, he was stunned like a bumpkin entering the city.

After a while, I gradually came to my senses.

Wang Min couldn't help admiring softly: "There are so many books, but they are more than the books in my family!"

Lin Jue smiled: "Your grandfather is the dean of our Six Arts School, doesn't he have a small collection of books?"

Wang Min shook his head: "Maybe there will be so much in a few hundred years.

Sun Peng felt that his eyes were not enough, so he looked around.

Lin Jue remembered that Brother Mao at home was about to be enlightened, so he couldn't help but think of buying some enlightening books for him.Speaking of this, Lin Jue has always wondered if this is the parallel space of the earth. Since ancient times, there have been stories of Pangu creating the world, Nuwa creating man, and the three emperors and five emperors. It is that mistakes have occurred since the Tang Dynasty. Here, after Tang Gaozu Li Yuan abdicated, the superior It was not Li Shimin, but his brother Li Jiancheng. Since then, the historical trajectory has shifted.This world has also lost many writers, poets and poets.Even the current enlightenment readings are not "three hundred thousand".It is relatively difficult to read "Children's Learning Qionglin" and "Words Mengqiu".

Lin Jue chose two books, "Children's Learning Qionglin" and "Writing Mengqiu" with relatively complete explanations, and saw that Wang Min was a little hesitant in choosing the paper, holding the rough-edged paper in his hand, but keeping his eyes on the rice paper.The guy next to him watched with a smile and occasionally offered some advice.Lin Jue stepped forward, took out the rough-edged paper from his hand, put it on the desk, carefully picked out the Shuxuan with a tortoise pattern, and explained: "You want to write a picture of a hundred years, so Shuxuan is better. I will draw Raw Xuan is used for painting. The cooked rice paper is processed with alum water, and the ink is not easy to penetrate, and it will not melt when exposed to water. And I chose the moiré pattern, which is perfect for birthday celebrations." Wang Min couldn't help but admire: "Brother Jue knows a lot more."

Afterwards, Lin Jue chose the tiger-skin rice paper he used for drawing birthday pictures, and left with his little friend.

A few days later, at Maozheng (six o'clock in the morning), Lin Jue, as usual, had breakfast with his father, Lin Mao, and his mother, who was already showing signs of pregnancy.He took Yanmo and Guanqi and got into the carriage and walked to the Six Arts School.

The carriage walked unhurriedly in the early morning of Gusu City in the south of the Yangtze River, swaying out of the charm of music.After crossing two streets and crossing a bridge, I saw the school that was slightly silhouetted in the morning dew.

There are six classes in the school, each class has about 30 students, each class has a teacher and two masters.The teacher is in charge of the class, and the teacher assists.Lin Jue's husband is Mr. Yang whose birthday is today.

As soon as Lin Jue entered the class, she saw that there were about a dozen people in the class. She diligently put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and "The Analects of Confucius" on the seat, and put the homework of the previous day on the desk, and then pulled the audience Chess out.

Another consideration of the Six Arts School is shown here. The servants brought by each student are taught by a master who has no reputation as a scholar, which can be called caring. After all, if the servants of these students cannot read There are many inconveniences.

Just as Lin Jue sat down, Zhao Zhirong posted over: "Ah Jue, today is your husband's birthday, where's the gift you prepared?"

Lin Jue took out a roll of drawing paper from the book basket, smiled and shook Zhao Zhirong. "Where's your gift?"

Zhao Zhirong sighed and lay down on Lin Jue's desk: "The last time we went shopping, I couldn't find a suitable peony. Yesterday I picked a good one from my mother's greenhouse, and I sent it to my husband at noon today. Just because of this flower, my mother and Aunt Qing had a quarrel again, after a while, Zhixuan from Aunt Qing will also come to the Six Arts Academy."

Lin Jue frowned and thought for a while: "Your Zhixuan is less than four years old this year, Aunt Qing is too impatient!"

While Lin Jue was talking to Zhao Zhirong, Sun Peng and Wang Min came over and sat down nearby.At this time, after hearing Lin Jue's words, Sun Peng's mood was obviously depressed: "Lin Jue, you don't have concubine brothers and concubine brothers, so you don't know our difficulties. My concubine brother is four years older than me. I have already passed the Juren examination. If you have a chance, my father will keep it for me or my brother."

Before Lin Jue could speak, Zhao Zhirong took it again: "My family is still a merchant, and there is no distinction between the son and the concubine. Merchants are not eligible for the imperial examination. According to my father's idea, whoever studies well between Zhixuan and I will be the successor." The uncle of my farmer uses the money of the family to pay for it, and those who are poor in education can take good care of the business. If the comparison is fair and honest, I am not afraid, but if Aunt Qing blows the pillow, I will lose. Oh, you must Please help me, I don't want to be a businessman for the rest of my life!"

Lin Jue looked at his depressed friend: "I don't want to tell you about Sun Peng, but there is definitely a way to think about Zhirong's matter. Isn't the key to this problem lies in letting yourself be heir to your uncle? You are heir, your family Father wouldn't have separated your younger brother too, since these two men are the only ones in your family!"

Zhao Zhirong's eyes flickered: "Good brother, tell me what to do!"

At this time, Mr. Yang had already opened the door and walked in. Everyone quickly returned to their seats and stood up, bowing at ninety degrees: "Hello, sir."

Mr. Yang nodded slightly. After the students sat down, he looked at the classmates in the class: "Everyone first hand over yesterday's homework to the desk, and review yesterday's content."

As a result, there was the sound of students reading one by one in the classroom.

"The Master said: Learning and learning from time to time, isn't it easy to talk about it? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends come from afar? Isn't it a gentleman when people don't know but are not stunned?"

"The Master said: Clever words and attractive looks are rare and benevolent!"

"The Master said: When a disciple enters, he will be filial, and when he leaves, he will be a younger brother. He is sincere and trustworthy, loves everyone, and is kind and benevolent. If he has spare power, he should study literature."

……

At noon, Lin Jue brought a group of friends to deliver birthday gifts to her husband, found a small restaurant, a group of people went in, and then sent the young man out, and then began to discuss the succession of Zhao Zhirong's family.

As soon as Zhao Zhirong sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Lin Jue, what can you do? You are the smartest of the five brothers, you must help me."

Lin Jue poured tea for everyone, took a sip, and then said softly: "A businessman values ​​profits, if your father thinks that your interests are greater than those of Zhixuan's succession, you don't need to tell him, he will take you Get out. However, before that, letting Aunt Qing disappear in the Zhao family is the most important step." Speaking of this, Lin Jue glanced at Zhao Zhirong.

Zhao Zhirong said solemnly: "Aunt Qing is a girl from a good family that my father met on the way to buy goods. She has been in the family for four and a half years and has given birth to a son and a daughter."

Gao Cong swallowed the snacks in his mouth with difficulty, took another sip of tea, and then asked in doubt: "But didn't we agree a long time ago that we will try the childbirth test four years later? In four years, Uncle Zhao Will Zhao Zhirong be succeeded during this period?"

Lin Jue smiled: "Yes, I will let him know if he can't!"

In this way, he revealed his plan one by one.

After a while, Wang Min sighed deeply: "This is not what a gentleman did!"

Sun Peng, however, had a smile on his face, pushed Zhao Zhirong who was stunned, and gave Wang Min another look: "Then are you a gentleman, or are you helping Zhao Zhirong?"

Wang Min said angrily: "If I don't help, how can I be called a brother? Just think I owe you."

Gao Cong looked around: "The discussion is over. Then we can eat. Let Xiao Er serve the food, I'm starving to death!"

A small conspiracy was born quietly.

Three months later, when Father Zhao came back from shopping, he found out that Aunt Qing's family was selling products under the banner of Father Zhao, namely furs and brocades.However, due to poor purchase channels, the products sold were defective, which ruined the reputation of the Zhao family.Father Zhao was angry, and after reviewing, he found out that it was Aunt Qing's idea. In order to save money for his private house, Father Zhao grounded Aunt Qing.

Half a year later, Zhao Zhixuan entered school, withdrawn and sensitive because his aunt was grounded, and always suspected that someone was speaking ill of him behind his back.One day, a classmate saw him but didn't say hello. He was so angry that he beat the classmate until his head was bleeding.The school survey found that the classmates didn't like Zhao Zhixuan, and even said that they didn't want to go to school with him.The school sent him back home.Father Zhao had no choice but to hire a wife for him alone.

A year later, the Master resigned from the hall, saying that Zhao Zhixuan disrespected his teacher and that "dead wood cannot be carved."But at this time, Zhao's father found out that Zhao Zhixuan had met Aunt Qing privately in spite of his own restraining order, and was extremely disappointed in him.

Two years later, Aunt Qing's foot restraint order was lifted, but she found that Zhao Zhirong had left her son far behind, and in desperation decided to kill the grass.Unexpectedly, innocent people were injured. When Wang Min and Sun Peng came to Zhao's house as guests, they accidentally ate puffer fish. Fortunately, the toxicity was not serious, and they had no other symptoms except diarrhea and fainting.Before the Zhao family banned the mouth, everyone in Gusu City knew about this matter.Father Zhao had no choice but to send Aunt Qing to prison.In the same year, Zhao Zhirong was succeeded by a brother of the same clan.

It was March [-]rd of another year, and the five of them toasted together to celebrate Zhao Zhirong's succession and qualification for the imperial examination.

Sun Peng looked at Lin Jue and sighed: "Everyone, remember, you can't offend Lin Jue if you offend anyone. This kid is too dark."

Lin Jue blinked innocently: "What did I do?"

Everyone laughed, yes, what did you do, it was just a few gossips.

When Aunt Qing was in the limelight, she heard a servant girl who was a student at home complaining: "Study is too expensive, and the exams are burning money. Alas, it would be nice if we were like Mrs. Zhao, so many The dowry was also offered by several people." So, Aunt Qing went to resell the goods.

When Zhao Zhixuan was in school, he accidentally released the news that his mother was grounded by the head of the family due to moral problems.As a result, Zhao Zhixuan was isolated by his classmates.

When Zhao Zhixuan was studying at home alone, he overheard the rumor that "Second Young Master's wife was recommended by his wife, can he teach Second Young Master well?"Therefore, Zhao Zhixuan disrespected his wife.At the same time, let him know that Aunt Qing's life is difficult, mother and child are connected, how can he not visit Auntie?

When Aunt Qing's foot restraint order was lifted, she heard the servant girl comment again, "Second Young Master's life is over, unless Eldest Young Master is gone, it's hard to have a bright future."Thus, Aunt Qing took the risk and poisoned her.

When Zhao's father wanted to make amends to the Wang family and the Sun family, he had no intention of knowing that Zhao Zhirong, Wang Min, and Sun Peng had a close relationship and wanted to take the Tongsheng Examination together.As a result, Zhao Zhirong was succeeded.

In this war without gunpowder, Aunt Qing's every step was as expected, and they were only slightly poisoned after eating spicy fish with puffer fish.
