[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

The next day was the day of Daiyu's birthday.Lin Yan specially hugged a pure white cat as a gift for her.Although it's not hot anymore, Daiyu is still very happy and happily picked it up.This made Lin Xuan very angry.

"Why is my sister's roll gone, and my elder brother turned around and got her another one. I begged for two years, but my elder brother didn't give it to me. Or, elder brother, give me the one that was originally intended for my sister-in-law! "

Lin Yan did prepare one for Shen Yuan, but this time it was not Jia Min who refused to let him keep it.It was Shen Yuan who didn't want to raise it anymore.Since having brother Xuan, Shen Yuan put all his heart on the child, fearing that if he raised a cat, the cat would hurt the child if he was not sensible.No matter how Lin Yan explained that the pet will not hurt the owner if it is well-raised, he would not listen.

That's about it for being a mother.Shen Yuan also doesn't have the potential to be a shit shoveler.Lin Yan just gave up.

Unexpectedly, this cat made Lin Feng think about it.

"I gave it to King Ning!"

Lin Yan was very upset. Before he could say something jealous, Lin Yan said again: "You will be six years old this summer, and it's time to go to school. Your Majesty reorganized the teaching in the capital, and specially set up a kindergarten class in the Imperial College. Although with your father's official position, you can go in directly. But my father has already sent a message to let you take the exam yourself."

"If you pass the exam, let alone a cat, even if you want two or three, I'll find it for you. If you don't pass the exam, then I don't need to do anything, my father will take care of you!"

Lin Feng's face changed, and he was about to cry.

Lin Yan sighed, the entrance exam wasn't too difficult, but Lin Yan was only five years old.For him, the pressure was indeed heavier.But the times are like this, enlightenment at the age of three or four, and entering school at the age of six, this is the case for all those who can afford to study during the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If you don't make progress, you will only be eliminated.In particular, Lin Feng was born in a family like the Lin family that pays attention to poetry and calligraphy, so he is destined to be unable to avoid this road.

Therefore, even though Lin Yan couldn't bear it, he still tried to suppress him with a cold face.There is no way, Lin Feng's playfulness is too serious.Even in the 21st century, five-year-old children are still in the kindergarten class, but there is no lack of learning in various interests.

Thinking back to when he was five or six years old in his previous life, in addition to his daily teaching, he not only taught English and French, but also piano and painting!

He didn't know if this counted as spoiling the seedlings.He only knows that although he felt very hard when he was a child, when he grew up, he was very grateful that he did not give up and survived all the way.A person's success, knowledge, self-cultivation, etc., will never fall from the sky, and never happen overnight.

As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

As for what maybe he doesn't want to wear the crown and wants to go his own way.Lin Yan wouldn't say it, because everyone has their own responsibilities, he has his eldest son's responsibilities, and Lin Yan also has his own.

Even if you want to go your own way, it must be under the premise of a certain amount of capital, rather than abandoning your studies from the beginning.

Lin Yan lowered his head and saw that Lin Feng was really depressed. He didn't know if he had a child. He understood the hard work of raising a child, and his heart softened a lot. He calmed down, "Don't worry. The entrance exam is not difficult. You Just learn slowly. Sometimes my father is a bit strict. Big brother is not busy these days, if you don’t understand anything, just ask me.”

Lin Fengbian muttered, "Forget it! You are stricter than your father!"

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, touched his nose, and felt that he had been a little fierce to Lin Rong before.Who made him always compete with Daiyu for favor!Didn't know he was a sister-in-law!

But to be stricter than Lin Ruhai?Lin Yan snorted, that's because he had never seen Lin Ruhai treat him with such ruthlessness before!

Sure enough, the younger son is different.

Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a little tasteful.

A few more days passed.The spring is over.Lin Yan accompanied Shen Yuan back to Shen's residence.Shen Da is in good spirits and quite confident in his test results.

It was released in March, and it really became famous.

In the palace examination in April, the emperor hand-picked Shen Da as the Erjia Chuanhe.Not in the top three, but pretty good.

As the weather gradually warmed up, Lin Yan became busy again.

This time, Lin Yan sent two large ships for the ocean voyage.One to Europe and one to Australia and America.In addition to the necessary crew and sailors on each ship, Lin Yan also asked Situ Yue to arrange an additional steward in charge.

Lin Yan handed over the maps and plant picture books that he had prepared long ago to the captain and steward, each with a copy, and answered them carefully.After hearing this, the stewards patted their chests and assured, "Lord Lin, don't worry. Master Lin has drawn the things he is looking for so clearly, as long as he meets them, the servants will recognize them naturally. They will definitely bring them back to Master Lin."

Lin Yan chuckled, "It's not limited to these. If you come across good things from the local area, you can bring them back."

Everyone agreed.Only then did Lin Yan order the boat to let go.

Holding the sketch in his hand, Situ Yue was very puzzled: "What are these things? What are you looking for?"

"These two are called potatoes and sweet potatoes, for Western food."

Situ Yue snorted, "I have tens of millions of delicacies in Dazhou, just to find two to eat?"

"Mr. Yun once showed me the manuscripts of the ancestors of the Yun family traveling overseas. Mr. Xiyang also mentioned a few words when I was young. These two foods are not expensive in the West, nor are they delicious. But they have the same benefits. Then It is Yihuo. The planting cycle is only three or four months, but the yield per mu can reach as high as a thousand stones."

A thousand... a thousand stones?

Not more than three or four months?

Situ Yue opened his mouth wide. He was not as smart and astute as Situ Ling, but he still immediately thought of Lin Yan's intentions.

People's livelihood!

If such high-yielding products can replace food to a certain extent, then in times of famine, the people will have more ways to survive.Yihuo also solves the problem that the fields in some areas are not suitable for growing grain.

"Does the emperor know?"

"Naturally. If not, how capable do you think I am to equip two ships with weapons from the Weapons Institute?"

Lin Yan smiled.Of course, if you only want potatoes and sweet potatoes, you won't need these weapons.His real goal is America and Australia. "People's livelihood" was just an excuse he used to persuade Situ Kun.Whether there are immigrants in these two places today, whether they are occupied, or what the situation is unclear.Always be careful.

Situ Yue was speechless, turned to the last page and said, "Then what about this? What is it?"

"Gum trees and rubber seeds."

"Eat it too?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "No! A tire maker!"

Situ Yue was stunned, and looked at Lin Yan with a dazed face. Are you kidding me for putting so much effort into making tires?

"The wagon tires we're getting now are just my replacements, and it's not very satisfactory after all."

Other than that, Lin Yan didn't say any more.Because Lin Yan didn't know what to say.Tell him that rubber is used in many ways, such as aircraft, warships, automobiles, medical equipment, etc., almost all over the world?Can Situ Yue understand?

What's more, with the current social conditions, Lin Yan can't figure out these things.

But Lin Yan is very clear about one thing.Rubber matters.Therefore, there is nothing wrong with introducing domestic products earlier.

It takes about six years for a rubber tree to grow up to be able to cut rubber.Besides, the ocean-going ships don't say whether they can return home smoothly, even if they can come back, it will not happen overnight.It takes a year and a half to lay the groundwork. If something happens, it will take two or three years or even longer.

Calculated in this way, it will take at least seven or eight years to have rubber that can be used.

These seven or eight years are enough for Lin Yan to figure out where to start, and integrate the development of rubber into the lives of the public.

Even if he is unable to produce more advanced things, he can still leave such important resources for future generations.

********

Return home from the pier.Shen Yuan is discussing with Chun Equinox about Sanwei Academy.

The spring equinox didn't quite understand, "Since grandma is willing, why should she not accept Concubine Kang? You and Concubine Kang have known each other since they were in the boudoir. When the Sanwei Academy was first built, you have put in a lot of effort! Besides, with grandma's talents, Not to mention any master, even academicians."

Shen Yuan didn't answer.

The spring equinox said again: "Grandma is worried that the uncle will not allow it? I see that the uncle is very open-minded about this. It is the Sanwei Academy, or the couplet with his name on it!"

Shen Yuan smiled lightly.Lin Yan listened at the door, picked up the curtain and went in, and stopped talking about the spring equinox.

Shen Yuan ordered Chun Equinox to bring home clothes for Lin Yan to change into. When Lin Yan turned his head, he saw a lot of papers on the table, all of which were poems.

Following Lin Yan's gaze, Shen Yuan explained: "Sister Su wanted to publish a collection of poems for the students of the academy, but she was diagnosed with pregnancy recently, and her energy was a little low, so she asked me to help organize it."

Su Jin got married one year earlier than Shen Yuan.The eldest son has been born in front, and he has just turned one year old.This is the second child.

Lin Yan picked up the manuscripts and looked at them, one by one, with a pseudonym written in the lower right corner of each poem.

"Sister Su also knows that daughters' families in this world will be demure, and the work of the boudoir is not allowed to spread. I'm afraid it's not good to use the boudoir name directly, so I let everyone take the nickname."

This is a way.It is different to publish a book anonymously first, and then reveal the author after everyone praises it.

The talent and learning of the daughter's family should not be buried in the boudoir.This is the first step.Su Jin did better than he imagined.

Lin Yan picked it up, and on the top sheet was written the words "Xiangxiao Concubine".

"This must belong to Qing'er!"

"Senior brother knows my sister very well. You can tell it at a glance."

Lin Yan smiled without saying a word.Scrolling down, I saw Banana Xiake, Zhenxia Old Friends, Ouxie, Lingzhou and so on.The eyeballs rolled slightly.The Grand View Garden is gone, but these nicknames remain.Lin Yan can only attribute it to the inertia of the original plot.

He took out another card, and it was Mr. Hengwu.

"By virtue of its strength, the good wind sent me to Qingyun."

Shen Yuan said: "Brother, do you think this poem is different from the others? I have seen a lot of her poems, and they are on par with my sister. They are also called twin sisters in the academy!"

Bingdi Shuangshu?In terms of talent and learning, both of them are worthy of each other.

Lin Yan joked, "The talent is good, but the artistic conception is completely different from that of my sister."

"That's right! My sister's poetry is more free and easy, with the wind of mountains and rivers. But hers is more progressive, with a bit of ambition."

Big ambition?But I don't know what kind of good wind Xue Baochai is looking for this time, and where Qingyun is.

Lin Yan put down the poem manuscript in hand, pulled Shen Yuan to sit down, and said, "Do you want to work in Sanwei Academy?"

Shen Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately knew that Lin Yan had heard what the vernal equinox said just now.

"The vernal equinox is just joking! It's just helping Sister Su tidy up."

The two had been together for several years before they got married, and they had been married for more than a year. They got along with each other every day. Lin Yan thought he knew her well.You can tell by the look on her face that she is not telling the truth.

"Are you worried that your mother will complain?"

Shen Yuan paused, it can be said that these words reached her heart.Jia Min can allow Daiyu to enroll in the academy, but she may not tolerate her daughter-in-law going to the academy.After all, being in a boudoir is different from being a married woman.Now the few female gentlemen invited by the academy have also put in a lot of effort.

There are royal family members who have no parents-in-law to serve in noble families, and there are also chaste wives whose husbands die early, but daughters-in-law from aristocratic families like her are extremely rare.

Lin Yan laughed, "Leave it to me, I'll talk about it."

Shen Yuan's heart tightened, and it was Lin Yan who said, couldn't Jia Min guess what she meant?I'm afraid she will be accused of instigating her husband.

"Don't worry, trust me. Shanren has his own tricks, and he will never let your mother have the slightest suspicion against you."

Lin Yan blinked his eyes, confident.

The author has something to say: Someone asked for an update.Recently, I am not sure which day will be updated and which day will not be updated.So no advance notice.

But it was said that there are about four to five changes per week, and it is still almost the same frequency now.

If there is an update, it must be at nine o'clock in the morning.There was no update at [-] o'clock in the morning, it just didn't.No more brushing all the time.

In addition, some friends said that the recent articles may not look as good as before.There are more transitional episodes and daily episodes in the near future.It may indeed not be as ups and downs as the previous climaxes.

Immediately enter the last big move.After the big move is over, the first prince is dealt with, and the main text is over.

Note that this is just the end of the text!There is also a special episode.And it is estimated that there are many extra articles.

Because I still have some plots and stories about the characters in the original work of the Red Chamber to tell.If these are always inserted in the text, it will not be convenient for the development of the plot.So after thinking about it, I decided to write a side story.
