[Red Mansion] I want to be the chief assistant

"Tell me, what's the matter with pulling me like this." Lin Yu pulled back his hand being held, closed his cloak, and tilted his head to look at his unreliable cousin.Zhang Cong wanted to laugh but didn't dare to look like a little adult against his tender little face, for fear of offending him, he would lose his mind.

"Let's go for a stroll in the garden ahead." The 13-year-old boy scratched his half-up hair and talked about him from left to right.

Lin Yu was not in a hurry, and wandered around with him leisurely.The garden of Zhang’s family is a typical Suzhou appearance, with three steps, one scene, and five steps, one painting, which is very elegant.However, in the eyes of the common man Lin Yu, he felt that most of this was forced out by the limited land.

The land here is really expensive, otherwise the group of careless people would not be so busy, and even do things that disregard human life. Humanity is that money moves people's hearts, and the ancients did not deceive me.

What's more, in the eyes of today's people, the land is almost more important than gold and silver.Gold and silver are easy to disperse, but the land can be passed on to future generations. No matter rich or poor, there is always a place to live.

One of the two was absent-minded and the other didn't care. They walked and walked out of the garden and ran to the front without noticing.

Lin Yu listened to the faint voice, pulled Zhang Cong's hanging sleeve, and asked, "Is that the study where you go to school?" The window of the study was not closed, and the people inside were probably watching the scenery .

Zhang Cong came to his senses and looked, shocked. The one behind the window twirling his beard and laughing was not his own husband. He ran here without thinking about why, and hurriedly grabbed Lin Yu's hand and said, "Hurry up, hurry up."

"What's the rush?" Lin Yu was not happy, not because he was dissatisfied with his cousin, but because his current external conditions were not up to the mark, how could his short legs keep up with him?Withdrawing his hand, he unhurriedly took care of the slightly disheveled hem of the clothes that Zhang Cong hastily pulled, "If you can eat it, you won't be able to."

Zhang Cong frowned, and was about to say something when he heard a familiar voice from behind the window: "But brother Cong, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Lin Yu raised her head and saw her elder cousin's expression turned a little bitter. She couldn't help but kicked his heels, and whispered, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you answer quickly."

"Mr. Hui, he is taking Lin's cousin out for a stroll." Zhang Cong turned slightly to reveal Lin Yu who was tightly blocked by him.

"But the son of Lin Runzhi first?" Lin Yu's father's name was Mu, and his style name was Runzhi. He was quite well-known in Gusu's generation.Before, he kept his filial piety and was not allowed to go out, and he had no social interaction, but he had heard from the old housekeeper, but now he met him.He took a step forward, raised his hand in salute, and said, "It's my father."

The gentleman sitting in the hall surnamed Li saw him as a small person, wearing a red feather gauze cloak, standing in the snow, although he was young, he had a certain bearing, and he saluted himself happily and fearlessly, and fell in love with him first. , hurriedly said: "It's cold outside, Brother Cong, why don't you bring your cousin in to keep warm?"

Hearing this, Zhang Cong's already bitter face was even more pitiful, but Mr. He was destined, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only hold Lin Yu's hand and walk towards the dragon's pool and tiger's lair in his mind.

This Mr. Li was originally the younger brother of Zhang Cong's mother Li's family, and he also had a reputation for raising people, but because of a partial father in the family, he was kicked out of the house without food and clothing.Li Shi saw that he was very knowledgeable and wanted to help the clan, so she hired him to be her teacher. Anyway, even a married aunt like her is not afraid of the so-called clan uncle.

Mr. Li knew that as long as his old father was alive, he would not have a bright future, so he didn't want to continue the scientific examination at all. He just stayed in Zhang's house and concentrated on teaching students.Mrs. Li has long taken over the family from Mrs. Zhang. Seeing that he does his best and will never treat his younger brother badly, he seems to be enjoying life.

"Brother Li, has he never been unwilling?" The man sitting opposite Mr. Li was dressed in rags, but he was calm and calm, without embarrassment, and raised his hand to make a bowl of tea.

Thank you, Mr. Li, before taking the tea ceremony: "Everyone has his own destiny, Shi Fei has lofty aspirations, and I will replace wine with tea for my brother, in order to honor my younger brother in the future."

At that time, Fei shook his head and said, "I prefer tea and cows." I had to pour another cup with him, and Fang Xie said, "Thank you brother for your kindness." But he said it wholeheartedly.

The two were talking and drinking in the tea room when the door was knocked. Mr. Li said with a smile, "It must be my unworthy student." Fang said loudly, "Come in soon."

Zhang Cong pushed open the door slowly, Lin Yu saw his reluctance, and thought to himself, from ancient times to the present, fear of the teacher is probably the unchanging nature of students.Even if he just told this cousin that there is a boy like him, and that Mr. has guests, it will definitely not make things difficult for him, and it is useless.

Sure enough, Mr. Li didn't ask Zhang Cong if he still had homework to do, but he just dragged Lin Yu to talk to him. Seeing that he was organized and more generous than the shy Zhang Cong, he sighed inwardly.He didn't stay with them for long, but when the meal was about to be set, he ordered him to take Lin Yu back, and called a woman to follow him all the way away before he was relieved.

Seeing the two young ones leave, Mr. Li smiled to his friend who had been drinking tea in silence: "Look, is the elementary school student I found for you satisfactory?"

Zhang Cong breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the door of his husband and uncle. At this time, he couldn't remember his original plan, and only wanted to go back to his grandmother to be serious.With Lin Yu here today, everyone must have dinner together.

The surname is Jia, and the character is Shifei. Lin Yu didn't expect that a character from the original work would appear in front of her eyes so soon.He looked at Zhang Cong who was in a hurry, and asked casually: "Mr. Jia, do you know?"

Zhang Cong scratched his head, and said: "I only know that he is a good friend of Mr. He came from another place, and now he is looking for a temporary place to live."

That's right, Lin Yu smiled.I think that Mr. Li still made an introduction to him, I am afraid that he asked his uncle to find someone who would enlighten him, and he happened to find him - this Jia Yucun and the Lin family are destined.

Sure enough, after noon, Uncle Zhang sent the boy to talk to him in his study, which was exactly what he said.

"I have seen this Jia Yucun before. He is knowledgeable and not pedantic. It's just that this person is not a person who has lived under others for a long time. I am afraid that he will continue to rush for the exam if he has saved enough money." He talked carefully to Lin Yu and knew this nephew. own ideas.

How can a person who can pass the Jinshi examination be poor in learning, and how can a person who can enlighten Lin Daiyu, who is beautiful and elegant, be pedantic? Lin Yu thought, but was very interested in this outline character in the book Red Chamber, so he smiled and said: "It's just enlightenment. I didn't want him to teach me for a long time."

Uncle Zhang said with a smile, "It will take two years, otherwise, Mr. Li would not have recommended him." It turned out that Jiayu Village is only now known as a scholar, and the township examination is held every three years. This year, he had a minor illness and happened to miss it. Well, you have to wait for three years to take the exam again—considering that the year is almost over now, there are still a little more than two years.If the township examination goes well, you can take the general examination the next year, and if you pass the general examination, no matter how bad the palace examination is, there will be a fellow Jinshi.

In Lin Yu's impression, Jia Yucun was criticized as a traitor by some red scholars in later generations, and he was rarely described in detail in the Red Mansion. His original ambition was lofty and unconventional, and he was gradually assimilated into selfishness and ungratefulness by the bad officialdom. Corrupt official No.1.

Therefore, in his eyes, his interest in Jia Yucun came first.But it's no wonder that his original purpose of inviting Mr. Enlightenment was not to find trouble for himself, but to subtly understand this dynasty from the perspective of a scholar, so that he would not be too out of place by then.

Without the guidance of a traditional scholar who has received orthodox education, no matter how talented Lin Yu was, he would not be able to embark on the road of imperial examinations, let alone get into the examination of scholars.

Both parties are interested in each other, so this matter is finalized.In Jia Yucun's eyes, as long as he can teach a little boy, he will get a rich training without greatly delaying his study, so why not do it?

Lin Yu really stayed at Zhang's house until the twelfth lunar month before returning to her own home.At that time, the annual ceremonies of Tang Shu in Beijing had already arrived. He took a look and found that there was not much difference compared with previous years, but there were many bright things that children would like, and there was a set of Lin Ruhai. Four Books and Five Classics annotated by hand.

He ordered Bai Shu to put the book in the study outside, and told the outside to tidy up the room.

I knew that I had invited Mr. Bai Shu, and I had already tossed a few times in my mind about how to prepare.She pulled the Ganoderma lucidum and asked her husband how old he was, if there were any female relatives, etc., and asked Lin Yu how to arrange the house, Lin Yu asked her to discuss it with the old housekeeper Lin, and Bai Shu didn't blame him, so he walked away.

After being so busy for a few days, Ganoderma lucidum came back and forth, saying that the patriarch was urging for some New Year's goods.

Today's clan rules, if the clan is living well, it is necessary to pull out those who have no income to make a living, lest they have a sad year and lose the face of the clan.Not counting the family in the capital today, Lin Yu's family can be regarded as one of the best, so every year a part of the output is distributed to the tribe.

Because of this, Ganoderma lucidum said angrily: "Why don't you go to that house, don't they just take care of the output of this house, how embarrassing!"

"Kao Kou is well aware of it, but who will say it face-to-face?" If that group of people didn't come to pick up the things because of his second uncle's favor, wouldn't they be slapping themselves?Besides, they might not be willing to part with the free meat on their lips, Lin Yu thought, and then said, "Just take the things that were sent over there before, including the list, and say that this year is all, I am worried that the clansmen will not have enough food and clothing. So, I would rather suffer myself than take it all out.”

Ganoderma lucidum let out a hey, and hurriedly sent someone to send a message.
