The Rebirth of the Red Chamber Xue Pan married Lin Daiyu

Lin Ping took Xue Pan to the front yard and brought Xue Pan into the study.This is the place where Lin Ruhai usually entertains some friends, and there are some books that Lin Ruhai usually reads and collects.

Lin Ruhai also has a study room, which is his usual office, where he keeps his official documents and the like.

Seeing that Xue Pan was more interested in the books in the study, Lin Ping said: "My master wants to meet the girl, and he will probably have to wait for a while. Mr. Xue can read the books here for a while. The books on this shelf can be taken as you like. .”

After Xue Pan confirmed that he could read it at will, he walked to the bookshelf, took out a copy of "University", and read it.

There are many Four Books and Five Classics here, with annotations in various versions.Some Mr. Lu had never mentioned before, Xue Pan looked at it in a daze, and when he saw the annotations in some places, he suddenly understood.

Seeing that Xue Pan was engrossed in reading, Lin Ping went out silently, and called a servant to guard the door.

Xue Pan later found several volumes in one place, which were a complete set of Four Books and Five Classics.The above comments attracted him very much, and Xue Pan couldn't put it down.He didn't even know that someone was coming behind him.

The visitor watched him read seriously and didn't disturb him, instead he sat at the table and drank tea quietly.

Fu'er got a little anxious, called Daoist in a low voice, pulled Xue Pan's sleeve with her hand, and woke Xue Pan up from the book.

Xue Pan turned around and saw a middle-aged elegant scholar sitting in front of the desk.

He has an elegant face, long beard, and looks at himself with a smile.

Xue Pan understood in an instant that this should be Miss Lin's father, Lin Ruhai, the censor of Yanyan and the doctor of Lantai Temple.

Xue Pan confirmed to Fu'er that Fu'er had met Master Lin.Fu'er hurriedly said in a low voice: "This is Master Lin."

Xue Pan hurriedly stepped forward to salute Lin Ruhai: "Junior Xue Pan, pay homage to Master Lin."

Lin Ruhai stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and said, "Nephew, get up, the old man must thank you for delivering the letter for the little girl, so that the old man, father and daughter can be reunited."

Xue Pan hurriedly said, "It's just a little effort."

Xue Pan looked at Lin Ruhai's face, he was calm, showing no emotion.

Xue Pan couldn't help thinking to himself, is it possible that Mr. Lin wants to find his own account?

He knew that he shouldn't inquire about Miss Lin's back house, but if he didn't write a letter, what would Mr. Lin do if he didn't take Miss Lin out of Jia's house?He can only add fire to himself.

After all, he didn't know what was written in Miss Lin's letter, and he didn't intend to open it to read.

Xue Pan was a little apprehensive.

Lin Ruhai taught him a lesson: "Scholars should follow the right path, and must not delve into small paths."

Xue Panwei agreed.

Lin Ruhai saw that Xue Pan heard it, so he didn't say any more, skipped this section, and said: "In any case, I am grateful to you. If you have any requests, I will handle it for you."

Xue Pan thought that if he asked Lin Ruhai for marriage at this time, he would probably be kicked out by Lin Ruhai.

Other than that, Xue Pan thought about it, but there was nothing Lin Ruhai could help with.Moreover, making a request at this time is not a way of repaying favor?

Xue Pan said: "Thank you for your concern, sir, there is nothing wrong."

Lin Ruhai looked at Xue Pan's books on the desk, picked them up and flipped through them, and couldn't help laughing: "Where did you find this set of books?"

He didn't wait for Xue Pan to answer after finishing speaking, and then asked: "Since you are reading the Four Books, what have you learned now? Do you want to take the imperial examination in the future?"

Xue Pan replied: "Now I have finished studying "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius", and I am studying "Great Learning". Now that I am returning to Jinling, I plan to go back and study hard so that I can participate in the boy's examination next year."

Lin Ruhai asked with great interest: "In that case, I will test you."

Lin Ruhai thought for a while, Xue Pan has no fame yet, and the boy's test mainly tests the scriptures and Moyi, so it is too difficult for him not to ask.I took a sentence from "The Analects of Confucius" and asked: "'If something is wrong, it is impossible to know and make peace. It is not possible to do it without etiquette.', what is the explanation for this sentence?" (Note 1)

Xue Pan immediately replied: "You Zi said: 'For the purpose of etiquette, harmony is the most important thing. The way of the former kings is beautiful, and the small and the big are left to themselves. If you can't do something, you know how to be harmonious, and you can't do it without etiquette. Also.'From "The Analects of Confucius". The interpretation is: Youzi said: "The application of rites should be based on harmony. In the ancient monarchy's method of governing the country, the most precious place is here. But regardless of big or small things, Sometimes it doesn’t work just to do it according to the method of harmony. It’s also not feasible to be harmonious just for the sake of harmony without restraining it with etiquette.’” (Note 1)

Lin Ruhai nodded with a smile, picked an article from "Mencius", and asked again.

Xue Pan answered fluently.For several consecutive questions, Xue Pan didn't answer any questions. It can be seen that the basic skills are very solid.

Lin Ruhai became interested, took a sentence from "The Great Learning", and asked, "Do you mean reconciliation?"

Xue Pan obviously hasn't learned this point yet. After thinking for a moment, he answered based on his own guess.Lin Ruhai listened, Xue Pan's explanation was not particularly accurate, but there was a hint of novelty in the answer.

Lin Ruhai became more interested, and asked directly: "What do you think of the salt policy in the south of the Yangtze River?"

This kind of question belongs to the content of the policy question.And the difficulty of this question can already be taken to the general examination.Lin Ruhai is the censor who inspects salt, and he often thinks about salt administration the most. During this period of time, he thinks more.So it was only on a whim that I asked.

Sweat came out of Xue Pan's head.This question is difficult to answer, not only because it is difficult, but also because the examiner himself is Miss Lin's father, and his current official position is the inspector of salt and censor.

Not only did he have to answer well, but he also had to agree with Mr. Lin's ideas.

In the end, Xue Pan still said word by word: "The long-standing malpractice of specialized business has not been eradicated, the salt affairs of the provinces are as chaotic as silk, and the state tax the people's livelihood, and suffer from it." (Note 2)

Lin Ruhai looked at Xue Pan, unable to distinguish between joy and anger, and sighed after a long time: "It's easy to break in the past, and it will never be the same in the future."

Xue Pan let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He knew that he had made the right bet, and Master Lin was not angry.

Lin Ruhai looked at Xue Pan, loved his talent, respected his virtue, and even moved the idea of ​​accepting apprentices.

But Lin Ruhai thought about it and gave up.

Now that he is not in good health, he still wants to spend more time with Daiyu, and enjoying family happiness with Daiyu is the most important thing, and he has no extra energy to teach his apprentices.This is one of the reasons.

The second reason is that he is now planning to collect evidence against the Zhen family and seek a future for Daiyu.The Xue family has a close relationship with the Wang family and the Jia family, and the Jia family is also related to the Zhen family.Therefore, at this critical moment, Lin Ruhai could not fully trust Xue Pan.The master-student relationship is like a father-son relationship.In this case, it is better not to accept it.

Lin Ruhai didn't have the energy to start thinking about this.

Lin Ruhai took the book in his hands and said: "This set of Four Books and Five Classics is used in my imperial examination. The annotations on it are mostly my learning experience. Now that you like it, I will give it to you. I hope it can help you."

"The younger generation dare not accept such a great gift." Xue Pan hastily declined.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Since you say you are a junior, why don't you dare to accept it. You must know that the gift from the elders is irresistible. Besides, the Lin family does not have any juniors, so giving it to you is worthy of this set of books."

Lin Ruhai stroked the cover of the book with his hand, thinking of the time when he studied hard in the cold window.Originally, he planned to put this set of books in Daiyu's dowry and give it to Baoyu.

Now, forget it.

Lin Ruhai sneered and thought: He is just the "lu beetle" in Baoyu's mouth, so it's better not to give this book to him, lest he spoil it.

After hearing what Lin Ruhai said, Xue Pan took the book with both hands.

Lin Ruhai went to the bookshelf again, found out the rest of the books, and found a bookcase from the dark place, on which there was already a thin layer of dust.

Lin Ruhai wiped the dust with a handkerchief, and then opened the box, which was full of books and test papers.

Lin Ruhai looked at it with nostalgia, then closed the box, and said to Xue Pan: "These are the notes I made, the homework I wrote, the theories I made, and some other people's theories I collected during the imperial examination. Give it all to you. Otherwise, if you put it here, it will be ashes for nothing."

Xue Pan looked at it. It was the painstaking efforts of a scholar. It was the study notes of a former criminal. It was usually for his own children and would not be passed on to the outside world.If you take it out and give it to someone who is studying, you won't change it for thousands of dollars.

Knowing the weight of the book, Xue Pan bowed deeply and saluted Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai looked at Xue Pan, and if it wasn't for the wrong timing, he really wanted to take Xue Pan as his disciple, that's all, it's all because of fate.

At noon, the Lin family invited the Xue family to have a banquet together, thanking the Xue family for their escort all the way.When Baochai saw that Lin Daiyu was in the Lin family, her smile widened and she felt relieved.

In the evening, the Xue family returned to their boat.After three days, I arrived at my home in Jinling.

Mrs. Xue sighed: "Finally, I'm home. From now on, I will never go to the capital again. It's too much trouble."

Xue Pan replied: "Wait someday, I will go to the capital to take the imperial examination to be an official, mom, won't you go with me?"

Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "When that day comes, no matter how much trouble you make, I will definitely go. Not only will I go, but I will also bring your father's tablet, and our family will go together."

Xue Pan smiled and said, "It's only natural."

Mrs. Xue took Baochai to the back house, Xue Pan went to Mr. Lu's carriage, helped Mr. Lu down, and then took Mr. Lu and Lu An to the front yard to resettle.

In the front yard there is an entrance yard, three main rooms, and side rooms on both sides, which are also close to the corner gate.When his father was alive, the shopkeeper of the family usually lived here occasionally. Xue Pan arranged Mr. Lu and Lu An here.

Going out from the corner gate here is a small alley, and going out of the alley is the main street, so it is very convenient to come and go.

Xue Pan asked: "Mr. Lu, what do you think of this place?"

"Very good, Wenlong took the trouble." Mr. Lu said.

Xue Pan arranged for two servants to come over and clean up the yard carefully. He took out all the necessary things from the storeroom and settled Mr. Lu before going to the main courtyard.

After Xue Pan left, Lu An asked Mr. Lu: "Grandpa, I didn't see Xue Hong come to class this way. Has Xue Hong returned to his home?"

Mr. Lu looked at his silly grandson.

Since Xue Hong went to class for the first time, he could tell that this so-called Mr. Hong was a woman disguised as a man. Later, when he heard that Xue Pan had a younger sister, he naturally knew what Mr. Hong was about.But he is a teacher. Since the master arranged it this way, he will teach like this.

After teaching Xue Hong, he realized that there are such talented people in the world.

Among ordinary people, his own grandson can also be called excellent.But in front of the Xue family brothers and sisters, it is not enough to look at, and Xue Hong's talent is even better than that of his brother.

Mr. Lu sighed in his heart more than once, unfortunately, it is a daughter's family, otherwise, he would definitely be on the list.

However, my silly grandson didn't see it for such a long time.Even if he didn't see it, Mr. Lu didn't point it out, he just shook his head and walked into the house.

The author has something to say: Note 1: The quote is from "The Analects of Confucius", and the explanation is quoted from the homework help.
