Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

Lin Yu returned to Yangzhou from Hupan Academy in order to take the examination of scholar, that is, the examination to become a student.Because Lin Hai took up the post of patrol salt censor, the Lin family also moved from Suzhou to Yangzhou.Daqing's management of candidates' student status is also considered strict, and Lin Yu, who has joined Lin Hai's branch, has also avoided many complicated procedures. Yu was at a loss.

In the Daqing Dynasty, candidates who did not pass the examination before becoming a student member were called Tongsheng. However, no matter whether you were an old man or a young boy, you had to obtain the qualifications of a student member before you could be admitted as a tribute student, and then you could enter the test for a tribute student.

The test questions in the Daqing Dynasty were close to stereotypes, but they were not so dogmatic that they were not allowed to express their own views and opinions.There are three exams to obtain student qualifications, the county exam, the government exam, and the college exam. Lin Yu has already passed the first two exams with good results, and will wait for the college exam three days later.

"Brother." A small head poked in front of Lin Yu's door. Lin Yu looked at it, got up quickly and walked over, picked up Daiyu, and said with a smile, "Did my sister sneak out to play?" ?”

Daiyu shook her head, and the little hairband on her head also floated up, her clear eyes clearly said that she was bored by herself. "Brother, is he going to take the exam? Dad said that my brother has to study hard for the next two days, and he can't read to me. Is the exam difficult for my brother? Do I want to take it in the future?"

Lin Yu hugged Daiyu and sat down on a chair beside her. First, she asked the boy next to her to inform Jia Min why Daiyu, a two-year-old child, ran out alone. If no one could be found It is bound to be worried.Looking at the younger sister who is obsessed with hearing stories, she can only smile helplessly.I don't know why, maybe it's because Lin Hai and Jia Min are good writers, but Daiyu has liked these knowledge since she was a child.

Jia Min usually takes her with her, and Lin Hai will also read the stories in the book to her, but Lin Yu's narration is her favorite, those are made up by Xue Pan from nowhere, and she used to tell them to her. Guo Baochai heard it.Later, he gave Lin Yu a whole set, saying that this is what an older brother should tell his younger sister.

The things that children like are probably novelty, but the stories told in the book given by Xue Pan are close to folk customs, but because of the barriers of mountains and rivers, many people may not be able to get them in their entire lives.For example, some countries in the southeast of Daqing are very fond of elephants. They have long curly noses that no other animal has, and they can be ridden on them like horses.There are also some stories that say that in the extreme south, there is a continent covered with ice and snow. There is a kind of animal called penguin. It's cute.

Daiyu originally liked listening to Lin Hai reading poems, but now she has been waiting for Lin Yu to return home on the second day of every month. At this time, she seems to be able to imagine another world from those strange stories.And the frailty that she brought out from the mother's womb has also been relieved a lot because of her increasingly bright mood.

"Brother is busy these days. After the exam is over, there will be three days off. How about telling you a story then? My sister, why would you want to take the scientific exam in the future?" Lin Yu felt that Daiyu was not It's very funny, in fact, she is the only child in the Lin family, he and his parents dote on Daiyu, and Daiyu has shown her intelligence in learning at a young age.Lin Hai never said that his daughter's family could not participate in the scientific examination. Maybe Daiyu was too young, and it was too early to tell her these things. In the eyes of the little girl, the difference between men and women was not that big. She was young In my heart, there is nothing that a girl must do and what a girl cannot do.

"Yu'er doesn't want to take the exam, but thinks that because reading is fun, you can know a lot of things. But people who are not scholars have to take the scientific exam. Didn't my brother say that the brother of the Xue family will go with you this time?" For reference, so if you say this, I will study when I grow up, and I will also take exams?" Daiyu felt that her deduction was correct, and seeing Lin Yu's eyes turned blue, she showed her little finger Pointing to Lin Yu's eye circles, "It's just that brother, don't work too hard. Dad sometimes has black circles, saying that the work in the yamen is too tiring. Tell Yu'er that as long as you have a good rest, you will be fine. Brother also needs to be good. Just rest."

Lin Yu rubbed his eye circles, maybe there are. He has been reviewing a little late in the past two days. Although he is confident, he is still nervous and doesn't sleep very well.Daiyu's words warmed his heart, it is good to have a younger sister, and it is his luck to come to the Lin family. "Okay, just listen to Yu'er, I will take a good rest."

"Then Yu'er will go back first. We agreed that after my brother passes the exam, he will tell me the story of that beautiful big bird that can open its tail." Daiyu first jumped off the chair, and then thought about it , stretched out the little finger of his right hand, "Pull the hook first."

Lin Yu touched Daiyu's head, and also stretched out his little finger to hook Daiyu's little finger, "We've made an agreement now, let's go back to the room first, or mother will be in a hurry."

Qiu Nanny came to Lin Yu's yard immediately. After being informed, she immediately walked to the door, knocked on the door and raised her voice, "Master, this old slave is here to pick up the girl." Lin Yu listened to Qiu Nanny's voice Frowning unconsciously, he took Daiyu's hand and opened the door, and he also became serious, "It's Mother Qiu, why didn't you follow me just now, and let the girl walk in the yard alone."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Qiu Nanny's face, "Just now, the old slave went to the small kitchen and turned around to take care of the girl's food, but he didn't notice that there was no one around the girl. I have already done my wife a favor. .”

Lin Yu looked at her superficially respectful appearance, and thought about the strange rules of the Jia family in the capital that Xue Pan had inadvertently mentioned, so he could only look at her in silence. His identity in the Lin family is a bit delicate after all, and Jia The nanny from home is also a person close to mother, he can't get over it, let alone Qiu nanny said that she asked Jia Min for a sin. "Be more careful in the future, Daiyu is still young, if you look after her more." Lin Yu just said so with a calm face in front of Daiyu, and also told Daiyu, "Sister, also be careful, go out of the yard When the time comes, tell your mother first, do you understand?"

Daiyu sticks out her tongue, she knows, it's because mother doesn't want her to disturb her brother's review these few days, and won't let her go to Lin Yu's yard casually, so she sneaks out. "Understood, brother." Saying that, he waved his small hand to Lin Yu, and left the door of the other courtyard with Qiu Momo.

Looking at their leaving figures, Lin Yu had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He didn't like Qiu Mama, but Qiu Mama treated Daiyu well, probably because she was mother's daughter.I heard that when Nanny Qiu was in Jia's house, she was closer to her mother.After thinking about it for a moment, he put aside his distracting thoughts and started to review the book.

On the day before the exam, Lin Hai also planned to go back to the mansion a little earlier to encourage Lin Yu, but before he had half a foot over the threshold of the yamen, he saw the butler rushing from a distance with a gloomy face. It's over. "master!"

Lin Hai's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that something happened at home, "What's the matter, what happened in the house?"

The butler lowered his head and whispered, "Master and the girl have both fallen into the water, and I'm asking the doctor to watch it now." Lin Hai's eyes widened at these words, and he said sharply, "What's going on!"

It happened quite suddenly.Lin Yu thought that he was going to enter the examination room tomorrow, and he had almost finished his review, so he went to the garden to relax a little. Before he reached the osmanthus tree, he heard a little maid screaming; "Come on Man—the girl fell into the water!"

Lin Yu ran over as soon as he heard that, and saw that the little maid next to Aunt Mei was crying anxiously, as if she wanted to jump into the lake. Lin Yu didn't talk nonsense with her, he saw the lake surface A string of small bubbles, and a small hand that stretched out for a moment, confirmed that Daiyu had fallen.Immediately, he took off his boots and jumped into the lake.He held his breath and sank down, and really saw Daiyu whose face was flushed red, as if desperately holding her breath.He stretched out his arm, and quickly saw her grabbing her in his arms, splashed the water, and swam up.Turn her face up and lift her out of the water.

And when Lin Yu poked his head out, he found that Daiyu was silent in his arms. Thinking of the measures to deal with those who fell into the water, after swimming ashore, he immediately got down on one knee and turned Daiyu on his back. Resting on her own lap, with her back up and her head and feet drooping, she could see muddy water spitting out of Daiyu's mouth from time to time, and her breathing became slightly calmer.

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the little girl next to her, she still looked dull, "What are you doing here, won't you inform your wife?"

And the boy next to him was startled when Lin Yu ran towards him quickly, and hurriedly followed, only to see Lin Yu jump in.The boy was also anxious, but he immediately yelled for the housekeeper to come over quickly, and after Lin Yu landed, the housekeeper immediately brought people there.Seeing the scene in front of him, the butler felt dark. Something happened.

Hastily first sent someone to invite the doctor, and then immediately asked someone to bring two pieces of clothes, and put them on for Lin Yu and Daiyu, "Master, put them on first, and be careful not to catch a cold."

Lin Yu looked around, and found that another nun beside Daiyu was standing not far away, his legs were trembling, and he said heavily, "Hmph! ' He said, "I still don't keep up, let me invite you, go to the lady's place together, wait for the girl to see a doctor, and talk about it, how did you let the girl fall into the pool, because the eyes are all white No way."

The butler also shook his head, whether it was Qiu Mama who brought Daiyu with her, otherwise this would not have happened.However, Madam Qiu went to the temple to offer incense. It seems that if this disaster comes, it is not easy to seek peace.Looking at Lin Yu's whole body dripping with water, the weather in May is not hot yet, I will refer to it tomorrow, but don't get sick.
