The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

Mr. Luo talked a lot, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became, but the brothers Luo Ruojin and Lin Yao were not happy.

Because, this is obviously a flashback.

Mr. Luo's spirit came and went quickly, and Mr. Luo passed away just after Haishi.

"master!"

Brother Luo Ruojin knelt down and cried bitterly, Lin Yao didn't know how to comfort the two uncles, so she could only kneel down together.

The old man's funeral was not a big one. The Luo family is not an official family, but a well-known scholarly family in Gusu. The old man was indeed an official in the past, but he got tired of the officialdom, so he resigned and returned to his hometown to devote himself to teaching Children and grandchildren make progress.

Therefore, in the current situation of the Luo family, no one is an official, and the family does not have a title, so the old man's funeral is restricted by regulations and cannot be held in a big way.

Lin Yao waited for the old man's funeral to be finished before returning to Yangzhou. At that time, the twentieth of the first lunar month had passed, and when he arrived in Yangzhou, it was the end of the month.

Qin Yuxing's academy officially started on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Lin Yao happened to miss the opening day because of his grandfather's death. Fortunately, he is Qin Yuxing's founding disciple, so even if he entered school almost half a month late, he still didn't have to worry about it. Affect him to study in the academy.

But that's not the point. He didn't know until he returned to Yangzhou that Zhen Yinglian was taken away.

Lin Yao couldn't help being puzzled about this. After all, there is no one in the Zhen family, so who will pick up the orphan girl Zhen Yinglian?

"The one who took Yinglian away was Zhen Shiyin's close friend." This was the explanation given by Lin Ruhai.

Lin Yao scratched her head, "My son doesn't think it's strange that Mr. Zhen can have one or two close friends, but Mr. Zhen has been a monk for several years, and Mr. Zhen's wife has died. They don't know the whereabouts of Yinglian. How did Master's friends know that Master Zhen's abducted daughter is in our house?"

Lin Ruhai explained after hearing the words, "It was a coincidence that Yuxing opened the academy and hired more than a dozen teachers. Among them was an old gentleman who resigned from office and returned to his hometown. His surname was the oldest. His ancestral home was in Gusu. They grew up together, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that they feel like brothers and sisters. He took Yinglian away. Two days before you came back, you officially recognized Yinglian as a righteous daughter. Someone who can make Yu Xing invite you to the academy to be a teacher , there will be no problem with your conduct, you can rest assured."

Lin Yao listened very seriously at first, but Lin Ruhai's last words made him a little embarrassed. What he said...why did he seem to really have something in mind for Zhen Yinglian?

A lesson can be learned from heaven and earth, as a grown man, would he have sexual impulses towards a girl under ten years old?He is not a psychopath, even if he thinks about it, it is impossible.

But this kind of thing can't be explained more seriously, otherwise it is likely to become darker and darker.

"Master Zhen has such a close friend, so this life is not in vain." Lin Yao sighed, without mentioning Zhen Yinglian.

What Lin Ruhai said was teasing, but in fact, it was meant to be a test. When he realized that Lin Yao really had no other thoughts about Zhen Yinglian, Lin Ruhai stopped mentioning Zhen Yinglian and started talking about the academy.

The academy opened by Qin Yuxing has officially been named Shanhai Academy.

According to the regulations of Shanhai Academy, one must go to the academy to enroll at Chenshi every day, and return home after school at Youshi, and is not allowed to bring maids and servants to serve him, and he must do everything in the academy by himself.

Lin Ruhai explained the rules of the academy one by one, and finally looked at Lin Yao worriedly, "If Ah Yao can't adapt, I can talk to Yu Xing again."

It's no wonder that Lin Ruhai was worried that Lin Yao wouldn't be able to adapt. After all, Lin Yao before being adopted, no matter how he was not valued, was still a young master served by a maidservant. After arriving in Yangzhou, there were even more people serving her.

Leaving aside the question of whether Lin Yao can adapt without maids and servants around her, Lin Ruhai is really worried about Lin Yao because she is only eight years old this year, which is still too young.

"There's no need to talk to the teacher. I can do it myself. Master doesn't need to worry." Lin Yao didn't know what Lin Ruhai was worried about. She didn't live in the academy and would go back home every day. At most, you can grind it yourself, but can you still be taken to the village to do farm work?

Lin Yao was full of confidence in herself, Lin Ruhai swallowed the words again.

His son has never seen Qin Yu's appearance when he was cheating people, otherwise he would not be so confident.

But... Lin Yao has always been too prudent, and has been tricked by Qin Yu several times, maybe it can improve a thing or two?

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai completely let go of his heart. After all, Qin Yuxing will not go too far. With him, there is no need to worry about safety.

"In this case, you can go to the academy tomorrow. I will send someone to the Qin Mansion to inform Yu Xing in a while, and someone will pick you up outside the academy tomorrow."

"My son saved it."

"You just came back, don't review your books today, go back and have a good rest, get up early tomorrow, go."

Lin Yao resigned and returned to the east courtyard. Thinking that tomorrow was the first time to meet her husband and fellow students at the academy, Lin Yao also wanted to keep her spirits up and give everyone a good impression.

Before going to bed, Lin Yao took a pill drawn by lottery. Although it was an item drawn by lottery, this pill has a magical effect on restoring energy and has no side effects. Sometimes Lin Yao feels tired, so she will take it One, no problems so far.

Lin Yao slept well that night, and when she woke up the next morning, she felt all her fatigue dissipated.

"Master, it's time to get up."

Ye He's voice sounded outside the house, and Lin Yao immediately raised her voice, "I've already woken up, bring in the water."

Although Lin Yao has all the maids around him, Lin Yao doesn't like maids to serve him, so Ye He is the one who brings water in on weekdays, and the maids only help him clean up the house.

After dressing neatly and washing up, Lin Yao ate in the east courtyard, and asked Ye He, "What time is it?"

"Maozheng has just passed," Ye He said, "It's time to go to the academy at Chenshi, so you can start your journey now."

Lin Yao didn't want to be late on the first day, so she asked immediately, "Is the carriage ready?"

"It's already been prepared."

"Let's go then."

Lin Yao asked Ye He to take the books and pens that Bi Wan had packed up last night and get on the carriage to Shanhai Academy.

Shanhai Academy is located in the city of Yangzhou. It is built near the water and backed by a mountain. It covers a large area, and the entire mountain is covered in it.

The journey from Lin's residence to the academy was not too far, but it took nearly half an hour.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the academy, but did not go in. Lin Yao got out of the carriage with her things, and an acquaintance stood at the door, who was Qin Yuxing's most capable servant, named Yunfeng, "Master ordered me to pick up Uncle Lin here, and Uncle Lin will come with me." Bar."

Lin Yao thanked him and followed behind him.

Lin Yao became acquainted with Yunfeng because she often went to the Qin Mansion to study with Qin Yuxing years ago. Since Yunfeng is Qin Yuxing's personal servant, Lin Yao naturally became acquainted with him.

After all, it was this Yunfeng who picked him up at the door.

"Is the teacher in the academy?"

"The master is the dean of the academy. The academy has just opened, so the master is naturally in the academy." Yunfeng said with a smile.

Although Yunfeng is Qin Yuxing's most capable servant, he dare not show any disrespect to Lin Yao, but he will not be too flattering.

"It's late now, I have to go to class, and it's too late to say hello to the teacher, please ask brother Yunfeng to help tell the teacher."

Yunfeng responded with a smile, and continued, "My master knows that Uncle Lin is going to school today, so I'm not in a hurry to greet you, and it's okay to do it later."

Lin Yao smiled and didn't answer.

That's what he said, but it would be rude for him to do so.

Yunfeng took Lin Yao to the school, and there was a sign at the door of the school, which said [C].

Lin Yao was a little puzzled, but before she could ask, Yunfeng seemed to know his doubts, and explained, "This is Class C, and the academy is divided into four classes, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D. Class D is all students who have just started to learn, Class C is for students who have already started to study the Four Books and Five Classics, as for Class B and Class A, you will know after you have been enrolled for a while, so I won’t say more.”

Lin Yao has just started to learn the Four Books, knowing these is enough.

Xie Yunfeng explained, Lin Yao still wanted to say something, Yunfeng said goodbye to him.

Lin Yao swallowed the words that came to her lips, and after Yunfeng left, Lin Yao entered Class C.

He started school nearly half a month late, and these students had already known each other for half a month. Lin Yao was still a little worried about not being able to integrate into this group, but she didn't want to meet acquaintances again in Class C.

It was the second master of the Gu family, Gu Zhen.

"Ayao!!" Gu Zhen had seen Lin Yao a long time ago, but at that time Yunfeng was standing aside, he didn't dare to approach, and when Yunfeng left, he immediately ran over, "Ayao, why are you so late You just enrolled? I thought you weren't coming."
