The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

Lin Yao didn't understand whether it was disturbing or not, but considering that he lived with the teacher, it was normal for Liang Cheng and the others to have concerns, so they didn't ask, "Then I'll come to you when I have time."

"Alright." Liang Cheng nodded upon hearing this.

Seeing that the teachers who were attending class had already approached from a distance, Lin Yao said goodbye to Liang Cheng and the others, turned around and left the school, and returned to her residence.

His things had been packed, and there was nothing to do right now, so Lin Yao lay on the bed and pretended to sleep, but actually went into the library to read.

After watching for an unknown amount of time, Lin Yao was suddenly ejected from the library, and when she returned to her body, she heard someone calling him, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Yao quickly responded, "You are here, what's the matter?"

"The master invites you to have dinner together in the main hall." Lin Yao recognized Yunfeng's voice, and immediately replied, "I'll be right there."

Lin Yao turned over and got up from the bed, then tidied up her clothes, took out a pack of wet wipes from her backpack, wiped her face, looked in the mirror to make sure there was nothing missing, and then opened the door and went out.

"Brother Yunfeng, I kept you waiting." Lin Yao wasn't sure how long Yunfeng had been here, after all, when he was in the library, he couldn't hear any outside movement.

Yunfeng laughed and said, "Young Master Lin, you are being polite."

Lin Yao followed Yunfeng to the main hall, Qin Yuxing was already sitting at the round table in the hall, and there was no one else around.

Lin Yao saw the ceremony, and sat on Qin Yuxing's left side under Qin Yuxing's signal.

"Won't the teacher go back and have dinner with the teacher's wife?" Lin Yao asked the question in her heart before the dishes were served.

Qin Yuxing said, "Your teacher and the others will serve the old man at home, and will not live in the academy. I will go back every three days."

After hearing Qin Yuxing's explanation, Lin Yao was a little bit astonished.

But he wasn't stupid enough to ask further, not to mention that this was the teacher's family matter, he could mention it a little bit, but it would be inappropriate to say too much.

"You don't have to think that I stayed in the academy specifically for you and didn't go back. When you didn't move in, I went back every three days."

As if afraid that Lin Yao would feel pressured, Qin Yuxing added something on purpose.

Lin Yao: "..." There is no need to explain it.

After dinner, Qin Yu said conveniently, "I'm going back home the day after tomorrow, so you go back with me. It just so happens that your elder brother is quite lonely studying at home alone, so you can be my companions."

Lin Yao was slightly taken aback, "Teacher is going home to visit his family, so I'm going...isn't it appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate?"

You asked me so directly, how should I answer?

Lin Yao lowered her eyes, "Students... all follow the teacher's arrangement."

"Well, then it's settled."

Back in the house, Lin Yao lay down on the bed after washing.

Qin Yuxing's second son, Qin Qingze, is preparing for the provincial examination in August this year, and he doesn't know how confident he is that he can pass the provincial examination. The rural examination and the courtyard examination are not comparable, and the difficulty is several times that of the courtyard examination. Lin Yao has not yet experienced the ancient examination. terrible.

When he arrived at the academy last month, the monthly assessment had already ended. This month, because of his accident, he just missed the [-]th assessment.

Perfect miss.

Lin Yao had many thoughts in her mind, she put it aside after thinking for a while, and ran to the library to read.

……

Early the next morning, Lin Yao was woken up by Yunfeng sent by Qin Yuxing before reaching Maoshi.

Lin Yao looked at the dark sky outside the window, unable to open her eyelids.

Lin Yao was really not used to getting up at Chen Shi, but suddenly it was an hour earlier.

He yawned and got dressed, wiped his face with the wipes he had prepared early in the morning, and went straight out the door.

Qin Yuxing said, "You are my first disciple. Now that you have made up your mind to practice martial arts with me, you can no longer regret it. Today I will teach you a set of formulas. It is not a master's inner strength mental method, but a set of introductory mental methods. , you practice accordingly, and you must not be lazy."

When Lin Yao heard this, she immediately stopped dozing off, "Teacher, do you really have martial arts secrets? Are there any martial arts masters in the world?"

Seeing Lin Yao suddenly excited, Qin Yuxing was a little surprised, "You are quite interested in these things."

Lin Yao gave a dry laugh and lowered her head.

"The rivers and lakes have nothing to do with you. You just need to study with peace of mind. You practice martial arts just to strengthen your body, not to venture into the rivers and lakes." Qin Yuxing didn't want Lin Yao to give birth to the idea of ​​wandering the rivers and lakes because of him. What would he do then? Facing Lin Ruhai?

Lin Ruhai finally got a caring son, and he must not lose him.

Lin Yao was taught a lesson, but she didn't dare to talk back, "Yes."

Qin Yu was about to pass on the introductory formula to Lin Yao, and then taught him how to practice. Unexpectedly, Lin Yao followed his instructions and succeeded in drawing Qi into the body for the first time.

This qualification... is too good!

Qin Yuxing stood aside and looked at Lin Yao who was practicing seriously, and couldn't help but think of his master.

When his master accepted him as an apprentice, he once praised him as a rare genius in a century.But even for him, a genius who is rare in a century, he managed to draw Qi into his body only after his master taught him two or three times.

And Lin Yao...

Hmm... Could this be the legendary, once-in-a-millennium genius?

But you must not let his master know about Lin Yao's existence, otherwise he might try every means to abduct him back and make him the master.

What's more, Lin Yao can't let Lin Yao know his talent in martial arts, otherwise what would he do if he abandons literature and pursues martial arts?

The Lin family is a scholarly family, if Lin Yao didn't take the imperial examination and went to become a hero, he doubted that he would be beaten to death by Lin Ruhai.

After two hours of practice, Lin Yao was called up by Qin Yuxing to squat and said that this was a basic skill. Lin Yao just squatted for a while, and she became a little unsteady.

However, as long as he slacked off in any way, Qin Yuxing would whip a whip at his feet, and it wouldn't hit him, but it was quite scary.

Practice martial arts in the morning, and study literature in the afternoon. Lin Yao's time is clearly arranged, and she really can't find any free time to go out and play.

After a day of tossing around, Lin Yao followed Qin Yu to Qin's house the next day.

Qin Yuxing's wife, Mrs. Ruan, seemed to have gotten the news a long time ago. When she saw Lin Yao, she greeted her coldly and asked her warmly. Looking at the bruise on Lin Yao's forehead, she said that she was cruel.

Accompanying Mrs. Ruan was Qin Qingze's newlywed wife, Mrs. Huang. Since the eldest son and daughter-in-law were not around, Mrs. Huang followed Mrs. Ruan to take care of the housework.

The gentle Ruan called someone to come in and take Lin Yao to find Qin Qingze, and said they would have dinner together in the evening.

Lin Yao said goodbye to Ruan Shi, and followed her servants to find Qin Qingze.

Qin Qingze had a separate study room in the mansion, and his servants led Lin Yao to find Qin Qingze and then withdrew.

"Brother Lin Xian, please sit down." Qin Qingze remained the same, without much change, and led Lin Yao to sit down, "I was very worried when I heard about your accident before, but now that I see you, I feel relieved."

Lin Yao said, "Brother Shi is worried."

"I'm going to ask my grandfather for advice in a while, why don't brother Lin Xian come with me?" Qin Qingze invited with a smile.

Lin Yao was startled when she heard the words, and suddenly understood why the teacher brought him back, presumably... because he wanted him to follow Qin Qingze to teach Qin Fu Daru?

His teacher is really well-intentioned.

"Will you disturb Mr. Qin?" Lin Yao didn't answer immediately, but asked first.

Qin Qingze blinked at Lin Yao, "It's okay, the master mentioned it to his grandfather earlier, it doesn't matter, brother Lin Xian can be at ease."

This made Lin Yao confirm that Qin Yuxing took him back to the mansion to show his presence in front of Qin Daru.

Now that the teacher had said hello, Lin Yao didn't refuse anymore, and followed Qin Qingze to see Qin Fu.

Although Qin Fu is over seventy years old, he is still in good health. When they arrived, Mr. Qin Fu was still making tea in his courtyard.

Seeing them coming, Mr. Qin didn't show the slightest surprise on his face, as if he knew that Lin Yao was coming.

Not only that, Mr. Qin also asked Lin Yao to sit down with a smile, and Lin Yao sat down as he said, thinking that Mr. Qin was very amiable.

Lin Yao stayed at Mr. Qin's place for two or three hours. The way Mr. Qin taught his grandson was different from the way in the academy. To sum it up in an idiom, it is 'teaching through entertainment'.

Mr. Qin will not tell you the big truth directly, but tell you the story, and let you understand the true meaning of the story very well.

However, after staying with Mr. Qin for two or three hours, Lin Yao felt that she had benefited a lot.

After leaving with Qin Qingze, there was still something to be desired.

Qin Qingze could see it naturally, he said with a smile, "I will still have the opportunity to study with my grandfather in the future, my good brother doesn't have to."

When Lin Yao heard this, she felt something was wrong, "Brother Shi seems to know something?"

Wasn't it because Qin Yuxing brought him back today because he had an accident last time and his wife was worried about him?

Qin Qingze smiled and said, "The last time Master Lin came to see Master, although I don't know what they said in the study, but after Master Lin left, Master went to see his grandfather and told me to take care of you more. I will bring you here in three days."

Lin Yao understood the meaning of Qin Qingze's words, and couldn't help being startled.

It turns out that the teacher had planned for a long time ago?

As for what his father said in private with the teacher, it probably has something to do with his accident.

He took a breath and made up his mind that he couldn't let the master down again.

"Thank you, brother, for your suggestion."

"Your brother is an outsider," Qin Qingze smiled, "My wife said earlier that we will eat in the main courtyard today, so let's go to the main courtyard."

"Guests are as you wish, Brother Shi please."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and went to the main courtyard.

Talking and laughing, they entered the main courtyard, and when they entered the courtyard, they saw that there seemed to be guests in the main room.

Lin Yao paused for a moment, seeing Qin Qingze walking towards the main room non-stop, thought for a while, and followed.

Entering the main room, Lin Yao couldn't help being stunned when she saw the man sitting on the left.

It's him? !

How is he here?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Qin Qingze salute, "When did my little uncle come to Yangzhou, did you not inform me in advance?"

Lin Yao was stunned.

Uncle?

Isn't that the teacher's brother-in-law, the teacher's wife's brother?

Lin Yao stood beside Qin Qingze at a loss, and subconsciously saluted.

The man Qin Qingze called little uncle was the one who rescued Lin Yao in the other courtyard of the Yang family that day. He also recognized Lin Yao, but he smiled and said to Mrs. Qin who was sitting at the head, "Sister, this child ...Which family is it from? She's quite handsome."
