The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

After sending Guo Xiao away, Lin Yao was still lamenting that it is too early for women to marry and have children in this era, but he just complained a few words in his heart, and he was not stupid enough to say it. After all, this world is like this, and his thoughts are too different.

On the fifth day of February, Zhen Yinglian successfully gave birth to a son, and Guo Xiao named her son Guo Mao, and returned to the academy after completing the third day of washing.

After being blessed with a son, Guo Xiao's face was red when he returned to the academy, like a silly father.

Although Lin Yao said he lived in the school dormitory of the academy, he was no longer in the school to attend classes with everyone. The teachers in the academy had nothing to teach him. Only by staying with Qin Yuxing could he benefit a bit. Lin Yao went to the Qin Mansion and asked Qin Fu to help him with his homework.

In March of Yangchun, the weather was sunny, Lin Yao returned to the academy from the Qin residence, Xie Yan called him to stop as soon as he returned to the academy.

"There is a letter from the capital, named for you."

Lin Yao took the letter, thanked her and went back to the house.

It happened that nothing happened, so Lin Yao read the letter when she returned home, and only after she opened it did she realize that the letter was not from her family, but was written to him by Jia Lian.

The letter mentioned that his son Jia Yun was seven years old this year, and when it was time to be enlightened, Jia Lian didn't want his son to be as ignorant as he was, so he had to donate an official position. He hoped that Lin Yao could help and let Jia Yun enter Shanhai Academy.

This is not difficult. After all, Lin Yao is Qin Yuxing's only disciple, so it is very easy to arrange for a relative's child to enroll.

"Jia Yun..." False pregnancy, Jia Lian would give her son a name too.

Because of Jia Min's relationship, although Lin Yao didn't go to Rongguo Mansion very frequently, Lin Yao was very familiar with several cousins ​​of the same generation in Rongguo Mansion, especially Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu, the former had a relationship in the early years. After the latter Lin Yao took off the filter of the original book, he felt that this cousin could still make friends, but he still didn't want to marry Daiyu to Baoyu.

I believe that the master and wife will not want to promise Daiyu to Baoyu.

In the eyes of the old lady of Rongguo Mansion, Baoyu is very good, but in the eyes of people with foreign surnames, Baoyu's intelligence is also very limited.

Lin Yao stayed in the capital for the whole year last year. He already knew that Baoyu and the big maid in his room attacked someone. That attacker was not a son of the Rongguo Mansion, nor was she beautiful. Having had a relationship with Baoyu a long time ago, Lin Yao's sense of her is not very good.

But these are all matters in Baoyu's own room, so Lin Yao can't control it.

Fortunately, he saved Jia Min's life in the early years. Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were both in good health. Naturally, Daiyu, who had both parents, didn't need to live in Rongguo Mansion, and she didn't meet Jia Baoyu many times.

At least Lin Yao knew in her heart that Daiyu's affection for Baoyu was nothing more than an ordinary cousin's affection.

Lin Yao wrote back to Jia Lian, asking him to send her son to Yangzhou.

The child Jia Yun was born after Jia Lian returned to Beijing. Lin Yao always suspected that it was the influence of the Phoenix Pearl that Wang Xifeng gave birth to such a son.

Jia Yun has been very smart since she was a child, far better than Jia Lan, the second roommate.

Because of this, Jia Lian was always proud that he had a genius son.

Xin walked through the passage of the post station, and soon arrived in the capital. Jia Lian, who received the reply, immediately packed up his things and took his son to Yangzhou.

Wang Xifeng was reluctant to part with her son, but she was also a high-minded person. Jia Lian couldn't earn her a life, but a genius son could?She was looking forward to her son Jackie Chan, even if she was reluctant, she let Jia Lian take her son to Yangzhou to study.

Naturally, it is most convenient and comfortable for Jia Lian and his son to take a boat, but the boat time is also slow, so when Jia Lian and his son arrived in Yangzhou, it was already approaching the Dragon Boat Festival.

Lin Yao had mentioned Jia Yun's matter to her teacher long ago, and Jia Lian met Qin Yuxing as soon as she arrived in Yangzhou.

Qin Yuxing personally set up questions to test Jia Yun's knowledge. Before Jia Yun came to Yangzhou, he only studied at Jia's family school for a few days. Staying at home and self-studying, so knowledge is also limited.

However, Qin Yuxing accepted the school examination and agreed to Jia Yun's admission.

Before taking Jia Yun's exams, Qin Yuxing knew that Jia Yun had only studied for a few days, and he was considered good at this level.

Qin Yuxing asked someone to arrange for Jia Yun to join the Ding class, which is also the elementary school class.

Jia Yun was taken to the school dormitory, and Lin Yao sent Jia Lian away from the academy.

"Yun'er has Cousin Lau Lin taking care of him a lot. If you weren't in Yangzhou, I wouldn't worry about him staying alone in Yangzhou." Jia Lian said.

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Since Cousin Lian is worried, why did you send him to Yangzhou? I won't be staying in Yangzhou for long, maybe I won't come next year."

"Not coming next year? Why?" Jia Lian was surprised and asked.

Lin Yao laughed and said, "Cousin Lin, don't you know that my wedding is scheduled for next year? After getting married, I have to stay in the capital to prepare for the exam."

Hearing this, Jia Lian was even more surprised, "Are you going to take part in the test now?"

"The teacher said I can." Lin Yao said briefly, and then asked, "I asked you last year if you want to send Yun'er to Shanhai Academy to study. You hesitated at that time, why did you decide to send him now?"

"Isn't there anything I can do?" Jia Lian said with a bitter face, "The Jia family has a family education, which was established by the ancestors, and all children of the family can enter the family education. I also studied at home, and I think there is something wrong with it." Not good, I sent Yun’er to study this year, and within a few days Yun’er came to complain to me, saying that the students in the ethnology school secretly ran out to eat and drink, and went to whoring and prostitution. I’m sorry for Yun’er I have high hopes and hope that he will become a talent in the future. Of course, I will not ask him to go with his family like this. Remembering that you said last year that Yun’er should come to Shanhai Academy to study, I have the cheek to write to you. Thank you for your kindness. Refuse me."

After all, he hesitated and didn't agree at the beginning, so he silently rejected Lin Yao, and now he has the cheek to ask Lin Yao to help his son enroll, so he is naturally ashamed.

"Jia's family school, if I remember correctly, the master of the school is the old Mr. Jia Dairu? I heard that the knowledge is not bad, did he not notice that the atmosphere in the family school has become like this?" Lin Yao asked strangely.

After all, it was his wife's natal family. Lin Yao was fairly familiar with Jia's family, and Lin Yao had heard of their family's family school.

When Jia Dairu was mentioned, Jia Lian sighed, "He is no longer the head of the school, but another old man in the clan."

"Why?" Lin Yao felt strange.

Jia Dairu has been in charge of family education for 30 to [-] years. He is highly respected. How could he change people?

"The old man is old and lacks energy. He let his only grandson Jia Rui watch the school after class in the early years. This Jia Rui is not a good guy. He is very greedy for petty gains and has a bad manner. , using the public to report privately, blackmailing the children of the clan to invite him to drink. Two years ago, Jia Rui got a strange disease and died, and the old man got worse and worse, so he resigned from the school."

After hearing Jia Lian's words, Lin Yao also sighed, "I heard that the old man's son and daughter-in-law all left early, and there is only this only grandson. I didn't expect this only grandson to disappear. This is really unprecedented."

The two chatted and arrived at the gate of the academy.

"I'll send it here, Cousin Lian will be on his way."

Jia Lian thanked Lin Yao solemnly again, and Lin Yao waved her hand, "It's just a trivial matter."

Watching Jia Lian leave, Lin Yao turned and went back to the school dormitory.

Since there was a junior from a relative's family in the academy, apart from studying, Lin Yao occasionally went to see Jia Yun. Although the atmosphere of Shanhai Academy was pretty good, there might be one or two who misbehaved, Lin Yao He is a famous person in Shanhai Academy, no one will look for his bad luck, after a few visits, everyone knows that this Jia Yun is Lin Yao's cousin, others dare not bully Jia Yun.

After making sure that Jia Yun would not be bullied in the academy, Lin Yao reduced the number of times he came to the Ding class. After all, he always came to the Ding class, which would put too much pressure on people. Things backfired.

Lin Yao still often went to Qin's house to ask Qin Fu for advice. Qin Fu was worthy of being the elder of the three dynasties, a great Confucian in the world, with profound knowledge, Lin Yao always felt that she was a frog at the bottom of a well.

Whenever he felt that he had achieved something, he would always be beaten back to his original form in front of Qin Fu.

Lin Yao did not participate in the year-end assessment of the academy this year, and Qin Fu was in charge of his year-end assessment.

The exam started in November, and Lin Yao didn't finish the exam until the end of the year-end exam at the academy.

Before leaving, Qin Fu praised him for being very smart.

Lin Yao liked Mr. Qin Fu very much. He hoped that he would live a long life, because he knew that he loved tea, so he specially made a can of tea for him before returning to Beijing.

Before setting off, Lin Yao learned that Jia Yun had returned to Beijing by boat with Gu Zhen and the others, so Lin Yao simply rode on the road by herself.

Riding alone by myself is naturally very fast, but Lin Yao didn't rush day and night, and stopped to rest on the way.

So when I arrived in the capital, it was still near the end of the year.

On the edge of the New Year's Eve, the capital is very lively, and there are many small merchants and hawkers on the street. Lin Yao slowed down while riding a horse to avoid bumping into pedestrians.

It was almost dark when we got home.

No one thought that Lin Yao would come back by herself on horseback. The concierge was stunned when he saw Lin Yao.

The news of Lin Yao's return to the residence soon spread throughout the entire Lin residence.

It was not a coincidence when he came back, the old lady and Daiyu had just finished dinner, so he missed the meal time.

Knowing that Lin Yao came back on horseback alone, Lin Ruhai covered his forehead and asked someone to call back the servants who were waiting at the pier. At the same time, he asked Lin Yao to go back to take a bath and change clothes. Yao didn't eat.

Lin Yao was indeed tired at the moment, she immediately resigned and returned to her courtyard.

Because I didn't know that Lin Yao would come back today, there was no hot water right now, so I had to boil it now.

Lin Yao asked Nanny Song to make him a bowl of noodles to eat, then took a bath, and fell asleep immediately after the bath.

The next day, Lin Yao got up to practice martial arts full of energy, and then went to the main courtyard to pay her respects.

At this time, the imperial court had already sealed it, so Lin Ruhai also had dinner at home, and the family of four gathered together.

After breakfast, Lin Ruhai asked Lin Yao, "Why did you come back on horseback alone this year? Did you get into trouble with Ah Zhen and the others?"

Lin Yao didn't expect Lin Ruhai to misunderstand her, so she quickly explained the reason.

Hearing that Lin Yao had been tested by Qin Fu for a month, she couldn't help being surprised, "You have been studying with Mr. Qin Fu all this year?"

"Most of the time I study with Mr. Qin, the teacher has to manage the academy, so he doesn't have much time to teach me." Lin Yao said.

Lin Ruhai sighed, "I was also taught by Mr. Qin back then, and I benefited a lot."

After the father and son chatted, Jia Min said, "Yao'er, I have something to ask you, have you written to Lan'er in the year since you went to Yangzhou?"

Lin Yao was stunned, "Why did you write to her?"

Are they not married yet?

"You silly boy, you don't look like your master at all." Jia Min was helpless.

Lin Yao: "..." He was not the master's wife's own, did the wife forget?

The slander in her heart, Lin Yao didn't say it out, just bowed her head in silence.

Jia Min looked at him and said, "Lan'er is your fiancée, you have to learn how to coax her, how can you keep ignoring her like this?"

Lin Yao should be, she admitted her mistake obediently.

Unexpectedly, Jia Min asked him out of the blue, "Where is the mistake?"

"..." Lin Yao was choked, he just said something casually, trying to calm his wife down, but he didn't really reflect on himself, he suddenly asked him where he was wrong, how could he know where he was wrong?
