NFBE Chapter 127: Are you going to steal the questions?
Chapter 127: Are you going to steal the questions?
"Do you always talk to your brother like this?" Jia Tanchun's eyes lit up and she felt particularly envious.
If we were to say who is the most concerned about educating her younger brother, it would be Jia Tanchun, because she has a younger brother who is not doing well for her.
Lin Daiyu said as a matter of course, "Of course, there is no need to be polite to my brother. We girls rely on our fathers and brothers to support us. If we don't encourage them, how can we encourage ourselves?"
What’s the point of motivating yourself to become the most talented woman?
"But what if we motivate them but they don't make progress? Especially what if they don't listen?"
After discussing this issue, Jia Tanchun immediately felt refreshed.
What you eat and what you play are not as important as your future.
She called her personal maid, "Shishu, refill the tea for the ladies to moisten their throats. We need to discuss this matter properly."
Then he looked at Lin Daiyu with an expression of seeking advice.
At this time, not only her, but also Yingchun and Xichun turned around and became interested in the ideas put forward by these two bold girls.
"If you don't make progress, then you either have to beat them every day, or study with them, check their homework every day, and add more test questions every day."
When she said this, she glanced at Yong'an. Yong'an's neck shrank back and he thought of his scientific examination papers. Oh my God, who could be as difficult as me?
Jia Baoyu's eyes were a little empty. He was a little confused, as if he didn't know what day it was.
In such a day, what is the joy of living and what is the pain of dying?
It would be better to become a monk. At least you can just chant sutras.
Jia Tanchun glanced at him, smacked her lips, and ignored Jia Baoyu.
She turned to Lin Yongan and asked,
"Cousin Yongan, I heard that you are going to take part in the imperial examination next year. Are you sure about it?"
Speaking of this, Yongan straightened his neck and said, "I practiced every day and asked the teacher to judge my essays. The teacher said that I, Lin Yongan, can do eight out of ten things well, and it is as easy as taking something out of a bag for a student to do it."
"Is your teacher so powerful?"
Yongan was very proud. "Of course. My teacher used to be a teacher at the Imperial College and was also in charge of the specific practical affairs of the government office. I have almost mastered both practical affairs and policy essays."
"The teacher has a unique opinion on the scientific examination. I'll tell you in secret."
"My teacher said that I, Lin Yongan, will definitely be the first and the youngest number one scholar in the country." Yongan spoke very confidently and proudly.
"Just brag! Just brag! You are not even a student, yet you dare to dream of becoming the top scholar."
"No student in the Imperial College dares to say that. You are only five or six years old. It is good to have such a great wish, but bragging is not right."
Jia Baoyu felt that he had to teach this little cousin.
You have just arrived in Beijing from another place less than a year ago. If you are so arrogant, you will suffer a great loss.
"What's wrong? Why do you think my brother is bragging?"
"He hasn't passed the exam yet, so what's wrong with a little arrogance? At least he dares to take the exam, do you dare?"
Lin Daiyu interjected,
"You don't even dare to take the test, so what right do you have to criticize others?"
"And have you ever heard of anyone being born with a jade in his mouth?"
"If no one has seen it, or heard of it, others may not believe it and think that your jade was just picked up."
“And then advocacy is a gift from heaven.”
Although he didn't believe that Yong'an could win the championship in one fell swoop, Lin Ruhai said that his younger brother could.
Lin Ruhai is now the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites is in charge of imperial examinations. This is a professional matter for professionals.
Why not?
What if it fails?
In order to allow his younger brother to take part in the imperial examination, Lin Ruhai deliberately avoided suspicion and did not go to the yamen if possible.
It is hard to find a father in this world who is willing to sacrifice so much for his son.
Besides, you can beat your own brother however you want, but you can’t do that if others tell you to.
Jia Baoyu was stumped. He found it hard to believe and was unable to answer Lin Daiyu's questions.
But although Jia Tanchun is younger than Jia Baoyu, she is more thoughtful.
She wondered in her heart, could it be that this uncle, or the Lin family, has some unique secret?
Otherwise, how dare you say such big words?
In fact, she thought of a more daring idea: would there be cheating?
Aren’t you afraid of being beheaded for cheating?
It seems that I should talk to Lin Daiyu or my aunt.
If it's not cheating, can Jia Huan be allowed to come and study with us?
Thinking of this, she said to Lin Daiyu, "Sister Lin, your teacher here is so good. Do you think your second brother wants to come here to study?"
Lin Daiyu waved her hands and said, "That won't do. Our teacher only accepts three or four students. Besides, if we allow others to study here, our Lin family is not as wealthy as the Jia family."
"How do we calculate the money? How do we calculate the tuition? Besides, this teacher has a rather aloof personality and is not easy to get along with."
"It's not good to beat or scold the young master of the Jia family."
"Three or four, where did you get these three or four people? Isn't it just our cousin Yong'an?" Jia Tanchun asked, and then Jia Baoyu kept staring at them.
Yes, there are not so many people!
Lin Daiyu smiled slightly, "How could there be none? Didn't you see three people outside just now? Including me, there are four of us!" Having said this, Lin Daiyu pointed to her nose and took a sip of tea.
"What? You studied with them?"
"Women can't take the imperial examinations, so what's the point of reading those books?"
"Why not? I study to inspire my brother. If he can't even compare to me, how can he call himself a scholar?"
Lin Daiyu knew that what she said was a bit shocking, but she didn't want to hide it.
The reason is also ready-made, which is to push the baby to success.
"Can girls also study? Teach their younger brothers and children?" Sanchun murmured to herself, feeling that she was about to be led astray by this Lin Daiyu.
Instead, Jia Baoyu thought of a rumor that Shi Xiangyun once heard from her cousin, that the Lin family's cousin often dressed like a man to attract attention.
But he didn't believe this statement, and now that he saw the real person, he didn't believe it even more.
Lin Daiyu looks delicate, cute and full of spirit, and she doesn't need to seek attention at all.
If that's true, and Miss Lin studies like a boy, then it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to come to the Lin family to study.
It's not unbearable. Money and tuition are just external things.
I'll go back and plead with my grandmother.
My grandmother has always doted on me, and I will definitely get what I want.
While everyone in the Jia family was thinking, Lin Daiyu asked the maids to open the things that Master Yongyi and his men had brought back.
Most of them are restaurant dishes, and they are delicious just by heating them up.
This time, Jia Min originally wanted the children to come over and cook some southern dishes.
Unexpectedly, Lin Daiyu took a different approach and said that the girls of the Jia family never went out of the main door or the back door, so it would be better to make some snacks.
While the flowers are in full bloom this season, enjoy the warm breeze and drink the dew outdoors.
Just like a fairy in the moon and a flower in the water.
Paired with these dishes brought in from outside,
Take a bite of the new dish, drink a glass of fruit wine, pay tribute to the goddess of flowers, and listen to a song of the world.
At the gathering, everyone tasted the delicious food that was like a fairy from out of this world.
……
At night, in the Lin family's backyard.
"Father, why do you want to make me famous? I'm still so young, and you've already got the name of a child prodigy. If I don't really have the reputation of a child prodigy in the future, won't I be laughed at by the world for nothing?"
After seeing off the three sisters of the Jia family, Lin Daiyu waited until Lin Ruhai came back in the evening and asked.
Lin Ruhai said as a matter of course, "If you are known as a child prodigy in advance, it will not be so surprising if you become the top scholar in the future."
"Otherwise there will be too much trouble!"
Lin Daiyu looked at Lin Ruhai and couldn't help but sigh that there was really no normal person in this family.
It seems that the top scholar is the cooked meat in the pot, waiting to be eaten.
