The Rebirth of the Red Chamber Xue Pan married Lin Daiyu

At this time, Fu'er came back from Yangzhou, brought back Lin Ruhai's letter, and brought back a person.

In Lin Ruhai's letter, it was written that the man's name was Shen Yi, he was a Juren, and he was the same year and good friend during the provincial examination.

Compared with him, Shen Yi's knowledge is not bad.If there is no accident, he will definitely be admitted to Jinshi.But Shen Yi was more unlucky. When he was admitted to Jinshi, he either had to keep his filial piety, or he was sick, and all kinds of accidents happened all the time.This happened five or six times in a row, and in the end, he injured his right hand and directly lost his official career.Later, Shen Yi stopped taking exams, and directly devoted himself to the mountains and rivers, and went to travel in the mountains and rivers.

It happened that Shen Yi was passing through Yangzhou during this period of time and came to Lin's house as a guest.During his conversation, he mentioned that he did not plan to travel any more, but wanted to settle down and teach in Yangzhou.

Fu'er gave all the medicinal materials that Xue Pan had given to Lin Ruhai, and then mentioned that Xue Pan was looking for a new husband, and Lin Ruhai recommended Shen Yi over.

Xue Pan specially went to meet Shen Yi.

Shen Yinian was about fifty, with silver gray mixed in his long beard, he looked completely different from Lin Ruhai.There is no elegance, but a free and easy feeling.He doesn't look like a Confucian scholar, but a swordsman.

Xue Pan asked him the questions he had accumulated during this period of time, and Shen Yi answered them fluently.

This was the case for several consecutive questions, so Xue Pan kept Shen Yi as his second husband, living in the courtyard where Mr. Lu lived before.

This Mr. Shen is different from Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu is rigorous and abides by the duties of teachers and students.In school, except for what you are learning, you generally don't talk too much.

Mr. Shen is different. Mr. Shen is free and easy, unrestrained, open-minded, uninhibited, fond of painting and drinking.When it comes to lectures, the imagination is unconstrained, but it can always be put into practice.

Among several students, Mr. Shen and Baochai hit it off the most. After teaching for a period of time, he proposed to recognize Baochai as his disciple.

Mr. Shen clearly saw Baochai's daughter, but he didn't care at all.I want to give Baochai everything I have learned in my life, especially my first-hand painting skills.

Mr. Shen hurt his hand at the beginning, so he couldn't use his hand for a long time, and he couldn't hold heavy objects.But he is passionate about landscapes, and wants to paint what he sees. He can occasionally use a brush, but he can't paint particularly fine things.

Therefore, Mr. Shen created a splash-ink painting method by himself, and the things he paints are majestic.Baochai fell in love with it immediately.

Baochai wanted to be a teacher and asked Xue Pan for advice.

Of course Xue Pan had no objection. Since Mr. Shen didn't mind having a female apprentice, Xue Pan certainly didn't mind Baochai having a master.

It was not until a long time later that Xue Pan and Baochai realized how great this Mr. Shen was, but that's for another story.

Now that they have a husband, Xue Pan, Lu An and Baochai can study at Xue's house with peace of mind.

Two years later, the rural examination began.On the eighth day of August, Xue Pan and Lu An entered the Gongyuan on time, and Baochai drove them there in a carriage. Watching them enter the arena, he felt nervous and envious.

Township examination, also known as Qiuwei.There are three exams in total, three days each, for a total of nine days.

In other words, Xue Pan and Lu An will stay in the No. [-] room of the Gong Yuan for a total of nine days.Doing questions, eating, sleeping, and convenience are all in the small number room.Thinking of this, Baochai felt a little sympathetic.If you want to stand out in the imperial examination, you must not only have good academic knowledge, but also have a good body and strong mental quality.

Since Lu An fell ill after the boy tried it, they paid more attention to physical exercise, because they were afraid that they would not be able to hold on during the exam.

The examiner for the rural examination is an Hanlin or cabinet scholar sent by Kyoto. The Xue family has already inquired about it before. This time, the examiner for Jinling is a Hanlin editor named Ning Yuan, who was a Jinshi ten years ago.Moreover, the Xue family found out about Ning Yuan's preferences and the articles he had written.

He prefers a simple style of writing, and opposes rhetoric, empty words, and empty sentences.

Shen Yi read Ning Yuan's article, and said to Xue Pan and Lu An: "You are very lucky this time. You met a pragmatic examiner. Your writing style suits his taste. If you play well, you should be on the list."

With that said, Shen Yi carefully analyzed Ning Yuan's article word by word, explaining why Ning Yuan wrote like this and how he likes other people to write.After the analysis, he warned: "This is just a reference, don't pay too much attention to it, keep your own style, don't lose yourself because of imitating others, learn to be different, this kind of thing is generally disliked by the examiners."

The content of the township examination is mainly based on the Four Books and Five Classics, including classics and meanings, edicts, judgments, tables, edicts, policy questions, etc.

One of the most difficult questions is undoubtedly the interception question.Because the imperial examination has been held for many years, the sentences in the Four Books and Five Classics have basically been questioned, and it has reached the point where there is no question.Therefore, some examiners will find another way to intercept a part of the sentences in two different books and put them together to make a question.This kind of question is difficult to review, and it is a test of familiarity with the scriptures.It is more difficult to solve the problem. It is necessary to put completely different things together, justify itself, and be logically self-consistent. (Note 1)

Nine days later, both Xue Pan and Lu An came out of the Gongyuan, unkempt and pale.Fortunately, they all came out by themselves, unlike some people who were carried out by officers and soldiers.

Baochai hurriedly asked the servant who came to help them both into the carriage.

Soft mattresses had already been laid on the carriage, and after they got on, let them lie down and rest.When I received it at home, the thick porridge and ginseng soup that had been cooked at home, and the doctor was waiting, I was afraid that they would fall ill during the exam.

After examining their pulse, the doctor said, "The two young masters are fine, but they are too tired. They should rest for a few more days to replenish their vitality. This ginseng soup can drink a bowl for each person." Then pointing to Xue Pan, he said: " This son is still a little worried, and he is not conspicuous now, and it may affect his body after a long time. In the future, he should relax his mind and resolve himself more."

"Too much worry?" Baochai was a little sad, her brother had worked so much for the sake of the Xue family and for herself, so she must take care of her brother.

In fact, Xue Pan was too worried, not only because of the imperial examination, Xue's family and Baochai, but more because of Lin Ruhai.

After waiting for three days, Xue Pan and Lu An regained their strength.They wrote down their answers and handed them over to Mr. Shen. After reading them, Mr. Shen said: "The writing is good. If there is no accident, it should be on the list."

Baochai also spent a few days answering the content of the examination questions. After reading it, Mr. Shen said proudly: "My disciple, Shen Yi, is indeed extraordinary, not inferior to a man."

When Baochai heard what the master said, he felt mixed feelings.

After Xue Pan recovered, it was already August 26.It was only eight days before the death of Lin Ruhai in the last life - the third day of September. There was no news from Yangzhou, proving that Lin Ruhai was in good health.

But Xue Pan was still restless, he had no choice but to wait any longer in Jinling.He was afraid that if something happened to Lin Ruhai on the third day of September, he would regret it.

Xue Pan didn't care that the list hadn't been released yet, so he told Mrs. Xue that he cleaned up all the medicinal materials and pills in the house, and took Fu'er straight to Yangzhou. He wanted to guard at Lin's house in Yangzhou, just in case.

When he arrived in Yangzhou, it was already the first day of September, and Xue Pan met Lin Ruhai.

Compared with three years ago, Lin Ruhai's body was thinner and paler, obviously much weaker, but he could still walk around, Xue Pan felt a little relieved.

"What is the so-called nephew's visit this time?" Lin Ruhai asked Xue Pan in puzzlement.

"The student just participated in Qiu Wei, and I came here specially to thank you for donating books and recommending teachers." Xue Pan made up a lie and said.

"I wonder how my nephew feels about this exam?" Lin Ruhai asked with some interest.

"Mr. Shen said that if there is no accident, it should be on the list." Xue Pan replied, with a slight air of pleading for praise.

"That's right." Lin Ruhai praised, stretching out his hand to stroke his beard.

The 17-year-old young man, who can achieve the fame of juren, can already be regarded as a young talent.

Lin Ruhai looked at Xue Pan, as if he was looking at the grown-up junior, and couldn't help asking: "Is my nephew married now?"

Hearing Lin Ruhai's question, Xue Pan struggled a little, and finally lifted his robe, knelt down and said, "My lord, the student wants to marry Miss Lin."

Lin Ruhai was drinking water when he was choked and coughed loudly.He covered his mouth with a veil, and when he recovered, he looked at the veil, and there were bloodstains in the phlegm.Lin Ruhai wrapped the handkerchief calmly and put it in his sleeve pocket.

Lin Ruhai once thought about this, but she denied it.

Daiyu is 13 years old this year.If it is an ordinary girl's family, it is common to get engaged at the age of 13, and then remarry at the age of fifteen or six.

But Lin Ruhai knew that he couldn't wait for the day when Daiyu got married.

Nowadays, other people want to marry Daiyu mostly because of their family background and official position.After her death, Daiyu became an orphan and had to keep mourning for three years.

These families cannot get what they want, such as the powerful Yue family, support and help in the officialdom, so they may not treat Daiyu very well.

Such a Daiyu married into her husband's family with a large dowry, just like a child holding gold bricks in a busy market.She has nothing else to rely on, and relies entirely on her husband's family's integrity and conscience.

Girls in the backyard need to marry and obey their husbands and honor their parents-in-law.In terms of rules of etiquette, these people can naturally suppress her.Even if Daiyu passed away quietly, her husband's family would not have a word of criticism.

Lin Ruhai looked at Xue Pan in front of him, he looked good now, but people's hearts are changeable.

The Jia family is a lesson from the past.The Jia family dared to treat Daiyu like that when they were still alive, but it was because Daiyu was trapped in the Jia family's back house.

Now that I know that I will die soon, how dare I promise Daiyu to others so easily.

It is safer to follow my previous thinking.

Lin Ruhai didn't agree or disagree, but just said: "Get up first, let me think about it."

Xue Pan also knew that he was reckless, and after standing up, he stopped talking.

"When will my nephew return to Jinling?" Lin Ruhai began to chase away the guests.

"I still have to stay in Yangzhou for a few more days. If Mr. Lin doesn't mind, the student would like to stay in your residence for a few more days." Xue Pan said cheekily.

Seeing that the Xue family gave him so many rare medicinal materials, Lin Ruhai had no way to drive Xue Pan out, so he ordered Lin Ping to arrange a guest room for Xue Pan, and then left in a huff.

After Lin Ruhai left, Xue Pan couldn't stand upright and slumped on the ground.He clenched his hands into fists and slammed them on the ground hard. His hands were dripping with blood, but Xue Pan felt no pain.After so many years of hard work, in the end, it fell short, and I was screwed up by myself.

Lin Ping came over and saw Xue Pan's hands were bloody, so he quickly persuaded him, "Young master Xue, hands are the lifeblood of literati, so don't dare to do that." Then he called the doctor to wash and bandage Xue Pan.

Xue Pan had recovered, thanked Lin Ping, and followed him to the guest room in the front courtyard of the Lin family.

In any case, I have to stay at the Lin family until the third day of September, and only after seeing that Mr. Lin is safe and sound can I leave.

Master Lin said he was thinking about it, but he might not have a chance.

If I really don't have a chance, then Master Lin's health is the most important guarantee for Miss Lin's stable life in the future, let alone leave.
