[Red Mansion] Chronicles of a Girl in the Lin Family

Jia Yucun came to the door this day after careful consideration.

When he came to the door a few days ago, he was stopped, saying that the master's family had something to do.

A few days later, he heard at the door that the youngest son of the Lin family seemed to be dying, and he left quickly after hearing this, fearing that he would not be able to find a job and be beaten out.

Even if he came today, he really had no choice. He was dismissed as a criminal officer, and his family had no assets, so he stopped when he arrived in Weiyang. .

I thought about finding a teacher in Yangzhou first, so that I can enjoy the scenery of Huaiyang and save a lot of money. Maybe I can find a master who is an official, and I can say for his future in the future. A couple of good words.

He ran into a wall at the Lin family a few days ago, and he originally planned to find another family.But I don't think that Yangzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River after all, there are outstanding people, there are many scholars, and few people need to hire teachers.

The few houses I found with great difficulty were either merchants or naughty students, and this student from the Lin family was a little girl. the best choice.

Finally, yesterday, Jia Yucun heard that the young master of the Lin family had finally recovered from his illness, and that he was almost at the end of his life, so he bit the bullet and went to the door of the Lin family again.

It can be considered that he was lucky, because Ping An recovered from his illness, Lin Ruhai was in a good mood these few days.Even if he heard that the person who came was named Jia, he just frowned and let the person in.

Jia Yucun also knew that this opportunity was not easy to come by, so he adjusted his clothes before going to the main hall, thinking that he should be considered a good-looking person, so he entered the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Jia Yucun saw a middle-aged scholar standing in the middle of the hall waiting for him.He hastily bowed to the scholar and said, "Student Jia Hua, pay homage to Mr. Lin!"

Lin Ruhai was standing in the hall waiting for Jia Yucun. Hearing that Yucun's surname was Jia, although he knew that he might be of the same family as the Jia family, he still had a knot in his heart.I planned to just say a few words so casually and send people away, but I didn't want to see Jia Yucun with a round waist, a thick back, a wide face, a square mouth, sword eyebrows and star eyes, a straight nose and cheeks (1), and my dissatisfaction will be less point.

Seeing him coming in and being humble and courteous, not only did the rest of the dissatisfaction disappear, but even a little love was added, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

Lin Ruhai pulled Jia Yucun to sit down on the chair in the hall, and took the main seat himself.

The maid who was serving at the side saw that the host and the guests had sat down, and quickly served two cups of fragrant tea, and some pastries and fresh fruits, and then quietly returned to her original standing position and waited. ordered.

Seeing this scene, Jia Yucun couldn't help sighing secretly that the servants of the Lin family were very strict.

"I don't know...?" Lin Ruhai picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip. After putting it down, he looked at Yucun. He wanted to say something but didn't know Jia Yucun's name, so he stopped again.

Jia Yucun also knew Lin Ruhai's unfinished intentions, so he hurriedly got up and said, "The student's name is Shi Fei, and my nickname is Yucun. The adults call me Yucun." Seeing that Lin Ruhai nodded, he did it again.

"Okay, Yucun. Since you are coming to my Lin family to be a teacher, then I will test your knowledge. I don't know Yucun, may I accept it?"

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Yucun's politeness, although he felt that he was a bit too pedantic, but he also felt that it was better to be polite than rude, so there was a little more appreciation on his face, and a little gentleness in his tone.

Jia Yucun felt this change very sensitively, straightened his back straighter immediately, put his hands on his knees, and said: "The test is for adults, and the students know all the answers, and they can answer all kinds of questions."

Lin Ruhai listened, nodded with a smile, then straightened his face and began to ask questions.

Jia Yucun also listened carefully to Lin Ruhai's question, and answered earnestly, adding some of his own understanding from time to time, which made Lin Ruhai nod repeatedly, and even a smile appeared on his serious face.

After a cup of tea, Lin Ruhai laughed loudly, and called Jia Yucun from Yucun to Brother Yucun.

It's just that although he appreciates Jia Yucun's knowledge very much, he still has some concerns about his character, so he said: "Brother Yucun is so talented, how did he fall to such a level?"

Jia Yucun's heart shuddered, and he came secretly.It's just that his face was not obvious, and he even showed a trace of sadness, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, you don't know that the student was originally the magistrate of Daru Prefecture. I have heard that Master Lin is famous. I used it on the right way. But I didn’t want to arouse the jealousy of my superiors. I took a copy of me during the assessment, and only said that I was cunning and good at usurping etiquette. Hearing this, how could the superiors not be angry? All my official positions were taken away, and the students also ended up like this."

Lin Ruhai sighed again and again when he heard this, and seeing the sadness on Jia Yucun's square face, he couldn't help arousing a lot of sympathy.

But although he sympathizes with Jia Yucun's experience, after all, he is looking for a teacher for Daiyu, so it is better for Daiyu to like her.So I told Jia Yucun that I need to think about it for a few more days.

He also thought that Jia Yucun didn't have much money around him, so he gave him another 20 taels of silver, and then ordered the servant to carry the sedan chair and take him back to the yard he had rented before.

Jia Yucun thanked him all the time for this move. He thought he was just looking for a teacher, but he didn't want to get a sum of money. Although it can't be compared with when he was an official, it can be regarded as a temporary relief.

Lin Ruhai watched Jia Yucun leave, then turned and went into the backyard to talk to Daiyu about it.

It just so happened that Mo Yun was also playing with Daiyu with peace of mind. Seeing Lin Ruhai coming in with a happy face, I heard that a guest surnamed Jia came to the mansion before, so I knew that Jia Yucun had been here before, and I was busy in my heart Secretly thinking about how to stop Jia Yucun from being Daiyu's teacher.

It's not that Mo Yun has a prejudice against Jia Yucun, it's just that although Jia Yucun has a simple and honest face, none of the things he has done can be called a gentleman, not even some villains.

He obviously had Zhen Shiyin's help to take the exam in Kyoto, but at the beginning of his tenure, he lost his conscience and forgot the promise that the Feng family would find Yinglian, so he judged the case indiscriminately.It not only pushed Yinglian into the pit of fire, but also made Feng Yuan die wronged.

Later, when Jia She wanted the fans of the stone nerd, but the stone nerd refused, he wronged the stone nerd for defaulting on the official money, and dragged him into the yamen. He confiscated all his property and gave Jia She the twenty old fans. .

If this kind of shameless and immoral person were allowed to take advantage of the Lin family's Dongfengqi to become an official, how many people would suffer.If Lin Ruhai could see his true face this time, and avoid many unjust cases he brought under his control, it would be a blessing for Daiyu and Pingan.

Just thinking of this, Mo Yun suppressed her smile a little, just waiting for Lin Ruhai to talk about Jia Yucun.

As soon as Lin Ruhaifu entered the room, he saw Mo Yun playing with Daiyu and Ping An on the couch, and he couldn't help smiling.Thinking of finding a teacher with excellent knowledge and character for Daiyu today, I was even more happy. I went up and hugged Pingan and Daiyu, and they giggled happily.

Mo Yun sat on the side, knowingly asked: "Why is Daddy so happy today? Could it be that there is another happy event?"

Lin Ruhai put Daiyu down safely, and sat on the couch himself, watching the two little ones playing around him, and said with a smile: "A man came today and said he was here to hire Daiyu's teacher. I saw this man His morals were good during school, so I came here to ask Daiyu for her opinion."

Hearing her own name, Daiyu, who was playing with Ping An, turned her head, looked at Lin Ruhai and said with a smile, "It's up to daddy to decide. But, my daughter still wants to know what kind of person this is?"

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "This man's surname is Jia, his first name is Huacun, and his other name is Yucun. He was originally the magistrate of Daru Prefecture, but because his boss was jealous, he took his position away. He happened to travel to the Weiyang area, and he didn't have too many entanglements. So much, so I thought about becoming a teacher first to get some repairs."

After finishing speaking, he said again: "Don't worry, Yu'er, this person's knowledge has been tested and taught by his father, and he is definitely not the kind of person who is trying to catch fame."

Daiyu heard that her father had already considered this person for her, thinking that the person her father chose must be good, so she didn't say anything else, just nodded, and went back to tease Ping An.

On the other hand, Mo Yun smiled and said, "Jia Hua? Yucun? That's an interesting name."

When Lin Ruhai heard that Mo Yun said it was interesting, he was also a little interested, and asked, "Why does Yun'er think this name is interesting?"

Mo Yun smiled and said, "Jia Hua, don't you just speak lies? Jia Yucun, is it not a village dialect? This person's name is quite interesting, but they are all lies."

Lin Ruhai was immediately amused when he heard what Mo Yun said. He didn't feel that way at the time, but now he also felt a little interesting when he heard it.So he said: "Although the name is like this, it is not easy to say that the name was obtained by the parents. As long as the character is good, it is not bad."

Mo Yun tilted her head: "Then how does Dad know that he is of good character?"

Lin Ruhai didn't think of this, but at the time he heard what Jia Yucun said, and saw that he behaved well, but when he thought about it now, he felt that it was inappropriate to be so hasty, so he said: "That Yun'er thinks it should be investigated in this way. Woolen cloth?"

Mo Yun thought for a while and said: "Since he said he is the magistrate of Daru Prefecture, Dad might as well ask someone to go to Daru Prefecture to inquire about his reputation among the people. On the other hand, he should write to ask Colleagues in Daruzhou, compare the two sides, and then you will know whether what he said is true."

Lin Ruhai clapped his hands and laughed, and said: "Yun'er is still careful. Daddy will not think about it at that time. Daddy will ask someone to ask, and let me be a villain and save a gentleman. If it is true as he said, There will be a banquet to apologize regularly, but if it is not..." The rest of the words were not finished, but Mo Yun already understood what he meant.

Although she was still a little worried, thinking about what Jia Yucun had done, Mo Yun finally felt relieved.
