The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

Qin Qingze shook his head and said, "I'm studying with my grandfather now, and I won't go to the academy."

Hearing this, Lin Yao was a little envious, "I see."

Studying with others in the academy, although you can make some friends, but in terms of benefits, it is naturally no better than staying with the grandfather who is a great Confucian.

"You don't have to be envious, brother. When you worship my father as your teacher, you will have many opportunities to study with my grandfather in the future." Qin Qingze is not very old, but he is a fine person. Seeing Lin Yao's envy, he gave it to him. Lin Yao got it right.

Lin Yao instantly understood what Qin Qingze meant. Now it was the end of the new year. Generally, academies would be on holiday after the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and would not start until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Therefore, even if Qin Yuxing wanted to open a school, it would have to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year.

Qin Yuxing opened the academy. Although he is the head of the mountain, he also invited a teacher to teach. He will not be the teacher of all courses, but he will also cause many affairs in the academy and distract energy. Since Lin Yao is Qin Yuxing's disciple, he is naturally the same as other Students are different, he has more opportunities to learn from Qin Fu Daru.

"What book are you reading now?"

Qin Qingze answered them one by one. Although the two of them were ten years apart, they had no problems talking. Qin Qingze saw with his own eyes his father's knowledge of Lin Yao in the exam. Although Lin Yao did not read as many books as him, nor did he Guang, but Lin Yao is very good at drawing inferences from one example, and has her own unique insights on many issues, but Lin Yao is only seven years old now, which is very remarkable.

Therefore, Qin Qingze will not look down on Lin Yao just because he is young, let alone treat him like a child.

Lin Yao took Qin Qingze to his own study in the east courtyard. There were many books in his study, most of which were brought from Lin Yao's biological mother's dowry, and some were given to him by Lin Ruhai. There were two big books in the study. Bookshelves are attached side by side to the wall and filled with books.

Qin Qingze is a book lover, and when he saw the books in Lin Yao's study, he became interested, "These are the books of my virtuous brother? Can I have a look?"

"It's impossible."

After getting permission, Qin Qingze picked up a copy casually, and was a little surprised when he saw the cover, and turned to look at Lin Yao, "Have you read all the books on this shelf?"

"I haven't read most of them," Lin Yao said honestly, "Most of them were brought from my mother's dowry, and a few were given by the master. I have just started learning the Four Books, and the master doesn't want me to read these books. , saying it’s not time to see it yet.”

After hearing Lin Yao's explanation, Qin Qingze nodded, "I see." Then he put down the book in his hand and went to read other books.

Seeing this, Lin Yao was a little puzzled, is there something wrong with that book?He walked over to pick up the book that Qin Qingze had just picked up, and looked at the cover, which read "Sou Shen Ji".

Lin Yao: ...

If he had read all the answers just now, this senior brother wouldn't have misunderstood him as a fool, right?

Seeing Lin Yao pick up the book he put down just now to read, Qin Qingze said, "It's best not to read this kind of miscellaneous books right now."

Lin Yao put down "Sou Shen Ji" and said with a smile, "Brother Shi, don't worry, I promised the master that I will read these miscellaneous books after reading the Four Books and Five Classics." Miscellaneous books, left mind."

Qin Qingze didn't expect Lin Yao's mind to be so transparent, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Actually, it's not that you can't read miscellaneous books, but you are still young and have not yet determined, Lin Shishu is also for your own good," he said for a while , hesitated for a moment, and explained, "Your brother should know which family Lin Shishu's wife belongs to, right?"

Lin Yao didn't understand why the topic suddenly jumped to his wife, but when Qin Qingze mentioned it suddenly, there must be a reason, so she nodded.

"Of course I know that, my mother is from the Jia family in Jinling."

Seeing that he really knew, Qin Qingze said, "The Jia family has two males. The family was so prestigious back then. Although it is not as good as before, the lean camel is bigger than the horse. There are quite a lot of connections in the capital and Jinling. The Jia family is even more famous. It’s the No. [-] family in Jinling.” Speaking of which, the conversation changed, “The Jia family has two dukes, Duke Ning and Duke Rong. Your wife is from Rongguo Mansion, and what I want to say is that of Ningguo Mansion. Home."

Lin Yao had a premonition that she was going to eat melons, so she listened silently without interrupting Qin Qingze.

"The current head of Ningguo's mansion is Jia Zhen, who is considered to be of the same generation as you. His master's name is Jia Jing, and he is a Jinshi of Yimao Branch. Now he is practicing Taoism in Xuanzhen Temple in the suburbs of Beijing, and he is doing alchemy all day long. Then refine an elixir and let him ascend to immortality."

Lin Yao's eyes widened and she opened her mouth, but couldn't speak.

Jia Zhen and him are of the same generation, that is to say, Jia Jing is his wife's cousin, this is his elder, he can't gossip about people behind their backs.

"No one in Beijing knows about this, and they all take it as a joke. Ever since this Lord Jing abandoned his title and went to the outskirts of Beijing to ask immortals, most of the people in the capital have kept their eyes on their children and grandchildren. They are not allowed to read miscellaneous books, especially these miscellaneous stories about gods and monsters. Naturally, Lin Shishu knows these things better than me, so..." Lin Yao was not asked to read these miscellaneous books.

Lin Yao understood the reason why Qin Qingze said these things, in general, it was to explain to him why Lin Ruhai didn't let him read these miscellaneous books, lest he misunderstand Lin Ruhai.

If you want Lin Yao to say, Qin Qingze is too worried, how Lin Ruhai treats him, he gets along with Lin Ruhai every day, of course he can feel it, why does Qin Qingze need to explain?

But Qin Qingze was also kind, and Lin Yao wouldn't blame him for anything.

"Thank you, brother, for clarifying the confusion." Lin Yao smiled and cupped her hands in thanks.

Qin Qingze thought that Lin Yao understood, stopped talking, picked up a book and read it, and then Qin Qingze basically read all the books on the shelf, Qin Qingze had read most of the books, and some Qin Qingze selected all the miscellaneous books, put them on the desk and suggested to Lin Yao, "You better find a box to put these miscellaneous books first."

Lin Yao didn't object either, and ordered the servant to fetch a box, and put all the miscellaneous books selected by Qin Qingze into it.

After finishing these, someone from the main courtyard will invite you.

Lin Yao took Qin Qingze to the main courtyard. It turned out that Qin Yuxing was going back, and he didn't know why he was in such a hurry. With Lin Ruhai around, it was naturally not Lin Yao's turn to stay with the guests.

After the Qin family had left, Lin Ruhai asked Lin Yao to go to the study to talk.

"What does Yao'er think of you, Uncle Qin?"

Lin Yao was taken aback by the question, and immediately said, "My son thinks... he is very kind."

Lin Ruhai nodded, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "The Luo family sent a steward to Yangzhou and sent you a lot of things. There are also two letters, one for me and the other for you. After a while, the letters and things , you take them all back."

Lin Yao was slightly stunned, a little confused, "What?"

"Your uncle wrote a letter, which mentioned that your grandfather was seriously ill. I'm afraid it's..." Lin Ruhai hesitated, paused, and said, "Your uncle and I used to be classmates. I didn't want you to break up this relationship. , after the new year, you go back to Gusu to see your grandfather."
