The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

Lin Yao stared at the search box in front of her, inhaled and exhaled for a few rounds, and finally dissipated the depression in her heart.

Reaching out and clicking the search box, a virtual keyboard appeared. Lin Yao searched for the Four Books and Five Classics according to the pinyin. As soon as she pressed the search button, only books related to the Four Books and Five Classics were left on the library shelves.

"University", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "Book of Songs", "Mencius" and other original texts, translated vernacular texts, annotations, annotations, etc. are all here.

Lin Yao looked at the books on these bookshelves, and first took out the original version of the Four Books and Five Classics in classical Chinese. The classical Chinese version had the least number of words, and it didn't take Lin Yao much time to read the whole set.

After reading the Four Books and Five Classics in the classical Chinese version, Lin Yao went directly to the translation version to get a rough idea of ​​what the Four Books and Five Classics said, and then read the annotations and annotations of the Four Books and Five Classics by great Confucians throughout the ages.

After an unknown period of time, Lin Yao read a commentary on the Book of Songs and felt that the commentary was well written.

After closing the book in her hand, Lin Yao put it back on the shelf and went out from the library.

Let's see here for the time being today, there will be plenty of time in the future.

The next day, after Lin Yao got up early, she took a healing medicine from her backpack and ate it, and then asked someone to come in with water to wash up.

Because Jia Lian was leaving for Beijing today, Lin Yao had breakfast in the east courtyard and then went to the main courtyard.

Although he tried his best to reduce the time, when he arrived at the main courtyard, he was still late. Lin Ruhai, his wife and Daiyu were talking and laughing with Jia Lian. Seeing him coming in, Jia Min hurried forward, wanting to touch Lin Yao's forehead. But he was afraid of hurting him, so he paused his gestures, "Silly boy, you still have injuries, why don't you stay in the house to rest and recuperate, what are you doing here?"

Lin Yao said, "Cousin Lian is leaving for Beijing today, I'm afraid I won't see you for a long time, so I will naturally come to see him off."

After saying that, he greeted Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, and Daiyu and Jia Lian just greeted each other.

"Cousin Lin is an outsider, and you are still injured. Even if you don't come to see him off, I won't blame you." Jia Lian said hastily.

Jia Min also came, "Exactly, they are all relatives of the same family, why should this be so?"

"Yesterday the doctor said that these injuries to me are only superficial, and they look serious. There is no need for my wife to worry. Besides, my cousin Lian and I talked speculatively. I don't come to see you off. I feel very sorry."

Seeing what he said, Jia Min had no choice but to let him.

"Cousin Lian, don't forget me when he returns to Beijing. You should write more letters." Leaving aside Jia Lian's lewdness, if you only talk about relatives, Jia Lian still has to meet.

Jia Lian looked at Lin Yao with complicated emotions, but with a smile on his face, "Naturally, I will never forget you, cousin."

Seeing Lin Yao, Jia Lian couldn't help thinking of Lin Yao's repeated persuasion yesterday.

After Lin Yao left yesterday, he also thought a lot. Even Baoyu, a half-grown child who eats the rouge on the maid's mouth all day long, can be praised as the best in the world, why can't he?

But what Lin Yao said about taking the imperial examination, he would never succeed.

Not to mention that he has abandoned his studies over the years, but the officials he donated to look good before marriage directly cut off his way to take the imperial examination.

Because he is now an official, even if it is just a nominal title, he doesn't have to go to the Yamen, it can't change the fact that he is an official.

This point can refer to his second uncle.

Being able to raise a person like Jia Zhu who passed the examination as a scholar at the age of 14, Jia Zheng's knowledge is evident.

His second uncle was loved by his great-grandfather and grandfather since he was a child, because he was good at reading, and he originally wanted to be an official through the imperial examination. Unexpectedly, after the death of his grandfather, the last posthumous book was published. The emperor missed the deceased Duke Rong and called him Daddy. Jia Amnesty seized the title, and asked Jia Daishan how many sons he had, and then recruited his second uncle, Miansheng.

Jia Lian didn't know what he said when he met the saint, but the result was that the imperial decree came down that day and gave his second uncle the position of head of the Ministry of Industry of the sixth grade, so that he could study in the Ministry.

Those who won the number one scholar in the official imperial examinations were only compiled from the six-rank Imperial Academy, and his second uncle directly became the head of the six-rank official. It can be seen that in terms of learning, he has passed the test with the emperor.

His second uncle is now a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang. Although he has only been promoted to one level in the Ministry of Industry for many years, it does not mean that his second uncle is incompetent. Over the years, his second uncle has devoted all his energy to Jia Zhu, looking forward to Jia Zhu. Zhu can go to high school to fulfill his wish of the past, but this wish has also come to nothing with Jia Zhu's untimely death. His second uncle has aged a lot in the past year or so.

The official he donated at the beginning was a Tongzhi. Although he was a fifth-rank official, his grade was higher than his second uncle's current fifth-rank Yuanwailang, but in terms of it, his official was not even as good as a director of the Ministry of Industry. , not to mention his second uncle, a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wai Lang.

Lin Yao's persuasion to him was also out of kindness, how could he not know what to do?But it's one thing to be able to hear it, another thing to be powerless, he has no chance to become an official through the imperial examination, and the others... what will he do?

In the end, Jia Lian did not choose to stay, and boarded the ship back to Beijing.

After seeing off Jia Lian, Daiyu and Jia Min went back to the back room, Lin Ruhai glanced at him, "Come with me to the study."

Lin Yao followed to the study, "Master told me to do something?"

"It's not that I have something to do, but you have something to do." Lin Ruhai sat down at the table, "I came back yesterday and heard that you came to see me in the afternoon. Tell me what you want from me."

Reminded by Lin Ruhai, Lin Yao immediately remembered this.

"Oh, this, it's actually not an important matter, I just want to ask the master to help find a martial arts master."

Lin Ruhai was taken aback by this request, "Master Wu? What do you want Master Wu to do?"

Lin Ruhai didn't realize at all that it was Lin Yao who wanted to practice martial arts.

Lin Yao told her that she wanted to practice martial arts, Lin Ruhai was silent for a while, and frowned, "You suffered a disadvantage this time, so you only think about practicing martial arts?"

Lin Yao shook her head quickly, "It's not that my son has suffered a disadvantage, so he shouted to practice martial arts. When he was in Gusu, he had a serious illness and almost died. After recovering, in fact I have always wanted to practice martial arts to strengthen my body, but after arriving in Yangzhou, the time for studying is very tight, so I put aside the matter of martial arts for the time being."

Lin Yao once suffered from a serious illness. Lin Ruhai told about it from Xu Zhang. He heard that she was seriously ill. If it weren't for Nanny Song and Bi Wan who were beside Lin Yao, Lin Yao would have died long ago.

Lin Ruhai was still a little sullen at first, but it all dissipated now.

"Practicing martial arts is necessary to strengthen your body. Even if you are studying for the imperial examination, you need a strong body, otherwise you will not be able to pass the exam." Lin Ruhai recalled the dark history of missing a provincial examination because of his poor health and fainted in the examination room. Of course, he would never tell Lin Yao about this dark history, otherwise where would he put his father's face? "All I know are literati and Confucian scholars, and there are really no martial arts practitioners."

Lin Yao was a little disappointed when she heard this.

But Lin Ruhai continued, "Your cousin Lian's family is a family of martial arts, and most of his in-laws are military generals. For example, your cousin Lian's wife, Wang Shi, is also from a military general. If you mentioned it earlier, maybe You can also ask Lian'er."

Hearing this, Lin Yao was a little dumbfounded.

"Then... why don't you write a letter to the capital to ask?" Lin Yao said awkwardly.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "There's no need to be so troublesome. Your teacher is also skilled in both civil and martial arts. I heard that the one who taught him martial arts was an elder from some big gang in the Jianghu. I just don't know if your teacher's martial arts skills have been ruined over the years, but even if he All of your martial arts skills are useless, so there is nothing wrong with teaching you martial arts, just right, the civil and martial arts teachers are all together."

Lin Yao: "..."

I don't know if it's his illusion, but I always feel that Lin Ruhai can't wait to push him to the teacher.

Lin Ruhai gave the plan, and Lin Yao went back to wait for news.

Soon, Lin Ruhai sent someone to announce the good news the next day, saying that Qin Yuxing had agreed to teach him martial arts.

After another six or seven days, Lin Yao's injury had healed, but there was still a bruise on her forehead.

The bruise was not a serious injury, so Lin Yao packed up her things and moved to live in the academy. Before leaving, she bid farewell to the master and wife. It's very casual, let him learn from the teacher well.

Lin Yao was taken to the academy by someone sent by Qin Yuxing. The leader was Yunfeng, and the others were all strangers.

Lin Yao was chatting with Yunfeng along the way, and staying at home these days almost bored him to death.

He used to not feel bored by himself because he had a mobile phone, but now he has nothing.

Yunfeng didn't leave until he sent Lin Yao to Qin Yuxing's courtyard in the academy.

Qin Yuxing's residence is in the easternmost part of the academy, which is a separate courtyard.

The east wing room was cleaned up and used as Qin Yuxing's study, while the west wing room was cleared up and given to Lin Yao to live in.

"After suffering the injury for half a month, why is there still a bruise on his head? Didn't it mean it was just a skin injury?" Qin Yuxing frowned when he saw the bruise on Lin Yao's forehead.

Lin Yao said, "The bruise heals slowly."

This is the truth, sometimes bumps and bumps, there are always some bruises on the body, which will never disappear after seven or eight days.

"Ruhai has told me about you, do you really want to practice martial arts?" Without waiting for Lin Yao to answer, he said, "Practicing martial arts is much harder than studying. If you want to practice martial arts while studying, that's even more difficult. You have worked hard, are you sure you can persevere?"

"In order to protect myself and not worry the people around me, even if it doesn't work, I have to persevere." This is Lin Yao's answer.

Qin Yuxing came to a sudden, "It turns out that you practice martial arts not to protect yourself, but to prevent Ru Hai and the others from worrying about you?"

Lin Yao lowered her head, "Yes."

"I've improved a lot, which is pretty good." Qin Yuxing said with a smile, "Since this is the case, starting from tomorrow, you will get up to practice martial arts. When and what you do, you will follow my arrangements. Is there a problem?"

"no problem."

"It's fine, just pack up your things today. I don't have any maids to serve you. You have to do the laundry yourself except for meals. If you can't keep going, you can come with me." explain."

As for the result after speaking, Qin Yuxing didn't reveal a word.

Lin Yao thought, the end will definitely not be wonderful.

"I will persevere." After all, he is a man with golden fingers, if he can't persist, won't he take healing medicine?
