The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

Early the next morning, Lin Ruhai went to the Yamen of the Salt Court, which was the place where the patrolling salt censor handled salt affairs.

Not long after Lin Ruhai went to the Salt Courtyard, a pretty young maid came to Lin Yao's East Courtyard.

At that time, Lin Yao had just finished washing and was planning to go to greet his wife, but before he left, Biwan came in to report that the maid in front of his wife had come.

Since Lin Yao was already up, she naturally had to see her, so she asked someone to meet her in the small hall in the east courtyard.

When Yu Jin entered the room, she bowed her knees and saluted, "Your servant has seen you." She lowered her eyes and stared at the ground, one could tell that the rules were very good.

When Lin Yao heard the title of uncle, she endured and endured so that the corners of her mouth did not twitch. Every time she heard this title, she always felt that she was scolding him.

"I don't know if my sister is coming, but does my wife have something to order?"

Yujin lowered her head slightly, and replied neither humble nor overbearing, "Responding to the uncle, the servant is here to convey a message to the wife. The wife said that she is still seriously ill, and she is afraid of giving the uncle a bad temper, so she asked the servant to tell the uncle. You don’t even need to go to the main courtyard to pay your respects.” Having said this, he paused, and then said, “The wife also said that the girl is weak and sick, and has a sensitive mind. If the uncle is interested, he might as well take the girl out to relax.”

Lin Yao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Father told me about my wife's illness yesterday. Since my wife is ill, I shouldn't bother my wife to recuperate. I will go to pay my respects after my wife recovers." It's the same. My sister, I will pay attention to it. The master is busy with official duties, and the wife is sick now. Since I am her brother, I should take care of my sister. This is what I should do."

"The slaves retire."

Yujin didn't say a word to Lin Yao's answer, and left with all manner of courtesy.

After Yujin left, the room became quiet.

"Mommy, pass the meal, I'm hungry." Lin Yao said.

Nanny Song snorted and stepped back.

After breakfast, Lin Yao went to the study to read, and when Lin Ruhai returned home in the evening, she called Lin Yao to the study and asked her husband to teach him to read.

"Mr. has already been found. He was born as a Jinshi and has excellent knowledge. You need to study hard," Lin Ruhai said after a pause. "I only have two children under my knees, you and Yu'er. Although Yu'er is a girl, my Lin family is from a scholarly family." Second, Yu'er should read more books, you are a bit lonely when you study alone, and it happens that the siblings are studying together, so it is good to have a companion."

Lin Yao knew that Daiyu's poetic talent was extremely high, far surpassing most of the men in the world, but no matter how talented a person is, if he doesn't study, he can't write wonderful lines. For Lin Ruhai, let him and Daiyu together Lin Yao didn't mind the matter of studying, and even he hadn't personally integrated into the ancient feudal society, and didn't realize how morbidly restrained women are by the morals of the world in this era.

"It should be so." Lin Yao replied calmly.

Seeing that Lin Yao really did not dislike Daiyu studying with him, Lin Ruhai felt a little relieved.

Lin Ruhai does value Lin Yao, but there is a difference between intimacy and estrangement. Lin Yao just came to him, and her feelings are naturally inferior to Daiyu's. It has nothing to do with whether they are biological or not. His biological father, isn't this a blood relative?But the relationship between the father and son is no different from that of strangers.

However, although he is closer to his own daughter in his heart, there is no double standard for this pair of children, they are treated equally, and this is what it means to let them study together.

But Lin Ruhai didn't know Lin Yao's temperament very well after all, and he was afraid that he might misunderstand, and it would be bad if there were conflicts between the two children.

Lin Yao agreed quickly, and did not see any emotional dissatisfaction. Lin Ruhai thought that a six or seven-year-old child should not have such a deep city to hide his emotions, and he would not leak, so he calmed down a little. At the same time, he felt that Lin Yao's character was really It's very good, such a good child Lin Run doesn't know how to cherish, it's really stupid.

"Yu'er has not yet enlightened. Although you have read the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic", these are far from enough. When the husband arrives, you and Yu'er must study hard."

"Yes, father."

On the second day, Lin Yao met the husband Lin Ruhai invited.

This gentleman also had a beard and was tall and tall. Lin Yao felt that he should be younger than Lin Ruhai.

The husband's surname is Jia, which is the same as that of the wife in charge of Lin's residence.

Mr. Jia, who was born as a Jinshi, is indeed very knowledgeable, at least teaching Lin Yao and his sister, that is more than enough.

After Lin Yao started reading, he found that his memory seems to have improved a lot. Although he is not yet at the point of photographic memory, he only needs to recite a poem two or three times to remember it. Therefore, he quickly finished memorizing the Enlightenment "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic", "Hundred Surnames", "Children's Learning Qionglin", "Sound Enlightenment" and other reading materials.

But it's just memorized. These enlightenment books are all classical Chinese, and Lin Yao doesn't understand the true meaning of them for the time being. After all, he is a modern person, even if he taught classical Chinese when he was studying, he wouldn't be able to teach them.

In the blink of an eye, Mr. Jia took advantage of Lin Ruhai resting at home and went to the study to ask for an interview. Lin Ruhai was very polite to this Mr. Jia, so naturally it was impossible to refuse to see him. I don't know what the two of them said in the study. After that, Lin Yao The homework will increase day by day.

February [-]th is Daiyu's birthday. Lin Yao has been thinking about Daiyu's frail body for a long time, and after thinking for a long time, she came up with a way to dissolve the rejuvenation pill in water, and then asked Nanny Song to make cakes, and then wrapped Get up and send it to Daiyu as a gift.

Although he brought his biological mother's dowry, it is not impossible to choose expensive gifts, but he is only a child now, and choosing those gifts formally may cause counterproductive effects, so it is better to make some pastries, which will make it easier to get closer.

Daiyu was really happy to receive the pastry. After eating a piece of pastry, she blinked and stared at Lin Yao with watery eyes, "Brother, why is the taste of this pastry different from the ones I've eaten before?"

Lin Yao smiled calmly, "This is made by Nanny Song. I brought Nanny Song to Yangzhou. Her craftsmanship is very good. If you like it, I will ask her to make more for you." Bring it."

Hearing this, Daiyu nodded, thinking it was Nanny Song's exclusive secret recipe, so she stopped asking, "I shouldn't bother Madam Song, but I really like this taste, so Nanny Song will make more." Daiyu smiled slightly and said to Nanny Song who was standing beside Lin Yao.

"Miss, you are welcome. This is what old slaves should do. Since you like it, I will make more and send it to you later." Nanny Song smiled happily.

Nanny Song really liked Daiyu very much, because she felt that Daiyu's character resembled the late Luo Shi, Lin Yao's biological mother.

Regarding this, Lin Yao didn't say a word, but she couldn't agree with her in her heart.

After only getting along for a few days, how much does Nanny Song know about Daiyu, and she said that Daiyu's character is like Luo Shi?It is biased.

Lin Yao gave Daiyu some snacks that she got from opening the box. Lin Yao had already removed those plastic packaging, and then wrapped them in oiled paper and put them in food boxes. They didn’t pack a lot of them. These things have a shelf life Yes, after removing the plastic packaging, who knows how many days the shelf life will be?Don't spoil Daiyu's stomach when the time comes, he won't be able to eat and walk around.

His backpack is time-stopped, a hot cup of tea is put in, and it will still be hot after two or three days, so there is no need to worry about expiring things in the backpack.

It's just that the space in the backpack is limited, he can pack his things into one and put them away now, but with so many things received every day, sooner or later the space in the backpack will not be enough.

Daiyu has never seen these small snacks, such as toffee, fruit candy, and small cakes.

These small snacks are sweet, and children like Daiyu like them the most.

Sure enough, after eating, Daiyu asked Lin Yao if there was any more.

Lin Yao shook her head directly, not because he was reluctant, but because eating too much of these sweets is not good for people, so it’s okay to eat it occasionally.

"It's not good to eat too much of these, and your teeth will be broken. If my sister likes it, I'll get you some later." Lin Yao said.

Daiyu was still a little disappointed at first, but when she heard this, she immediately laughed again, "Thank you brother."

Nanny Song spent it long before Lin Yao took out the things. These snacks were all shady, especially Nanny Song and Bi Wan who served him closely. These two people knew him best.

After arriving in Yangzhou, he had never been out of the house. When they saw these rare snacks, even Lin Yao had a hard time explaining where they came from.

Therefore, Lin Yao basically didn't let them see it, and at the same time told Daiyu that these were his private possessions, and she couldn't let the nanny and maidservants know. Daiyu felt a little embarrassed when she heard that it was Lin Yao's private possessions. Since it was kept privately, it must be a rare thing. If she took so much away, wouldn't Lin Yao have nothing to eat?

"It's all right, I still have something to eat here, sister, don't worry about me." Lin Yao said with a smile.

Although Daiyu was smart, she was also innocent. When Lin Yao said this, she believed it.

Lin Yao didn't stay with Daiyu for long, and went back after a while.

Back in the east courtyard, Lin Yao called Nanny Song into the room, and told her to make cakes for Daiyu in the future, and if necessary, return to him first, and then send them over after he agreed.

Although Nanny Song was puzzled, she didn't ask why. After Lin Yao went to school, her changes were increasing day by day. Now she no longer dared to be Lin Yao's master easily, and she had to ask Lin Yao before doing everything.

Since Lin Yao gave such an order, there must be some reason, and it is inconvenient for her to ask further.

What Lin Yao likes is Nanny Song's non-questioning character.

The pastry given to Daiyu was mixed with the water from the rejuvenation pill, Lin Yao did not disclose the matter of the rejuvenation pill to anyone, and when making the pastry, she only asked Song Nanny to use the water from the rejuvenation pill to make pastries. Nanny Song didn't ask any further questions, and just let her do it.

Although the Rejuvenation Pill was given to Daiyu in this way, Lin Yao didn't know if this method would make the Rejuvenation Pill lose its effect. Therefore, after Daiyu's birthday, when the two of them studied in the same room again, Lin Yao intentionally Inadvertently observed Daiyu's complexion.
