But this is the ancient times that Mai Fan was staying, how could a dynasty like his family, where wealthy merchants were crushed by class, allow an heir who needed to support the family foundation to behave like this.

So, against the backdrop of Mai Fan, Baoyu's performance was too unbearable.

It is precisely because of this contrast that Jia Baoyu thinks about how to avoid his father's pursuit, so that he has a lot less time to mess with his sisters.

made Lin Daiyu very easy to spend the years from six to eight years old.

As she grew older, the grandmother around her also began to tell her some homework that a girl in her boudoir should master.

It was only at this time that Lin Daiyu suddenly discovered that the knowledge taught to her by the eldest grandmother she followed was completely different from the knowledge learned by the sisters around her now.

It's not that there is no overlap in what they learn, poetry, calligraphy, piano, Go, tea ceremony, these skills that the little girls like, her eldest grandmother still encourages herself to learn according to her preferences.

It's just that in her usual homework, there are more things than before.

For example, the clan relatives on their Lin family's side, the family relationship between her family members, especially the servants who accompanied her to the capital and the servants who were originally left behind in the old mansion in Kyoto, and the knowledge of financial management and account books.

Lin Daiyu originally disdained to take care of these mundane things.

But whether it was the big mother who stayed by her side, or the big girl who was close to her, they all put the truth in front of her.

"Miss, you see, girl, I am fifteen years old now, according to the rules of our Lin Mansion, I can give it to others after the age of sixteen. ”

"Whether it's for the children in the family, or to find a good person outside, then Xuejuan and Xuecicada will hand over the power of stewardship. ”

"In the hands of the little girls we have cultivated, what if they can't be as effective as us?"

"If the young lady is deceived by the people below, just like the top and bottom of this Jia Mansion, I don't know how much of the main family's finances have been eaten away like a moth, what will the young lady do then?"

"Or if the lord has plans to marry a new lady in the future, the dowry left by the young lady's mother can only be considered proper in the hands of the young lady herself. ”

"But the young lady doesn't know anything about the original lady's property, and if the new lady is a good one, it's fine, but if it's a crooked one, the young lady is not afraid that the lady's finances will be greedy by the bad guy?"

"So my young lady, even if you don't like it anymore and only hand it over to us, you must know it in your heart. ”

"No one in this world can rely on oneself as well. ”

Lin Daiyu is just impatient with these mundane things, but she is a smart girl.

What others say is reasonable, and persuasion is all for her own good, she naturally takes these to heart, and those individuals who receive people and things don't talk about it for the time being, but these silver money and vulgar things can listen to it and know it in her heart.

This is the right way to stand up on your own.

The fate of these people that Mai Fan cares about seems to be advancing in a good direction like his studies.

Now Mai Fan is more than fifteen years old, and he is about to usher in the second major threshold in his life, the arrival of the township test.

In this world, after crossing the hurdle of the township test, he can leave a real impression among the children of those official eunuchs.

Because for scholars, they are already their own people who have entered the court with one foot.

Some remote counties and some people with special talents can start from the small county bookkeeper and climb to a high position step by step through the way of recommending and selecting officials.

Although the process is a little more difficult, there are few people who have achieved more than three grades.

But in a place to govern, to benefit the people, to say the same, these identities are qualified.

Therefore, this is the reason why Mai Fan attaches great importance to it.

In addition, if you want to go to the last step of the two rankings of Jinshi, even if you are more talented than the sky, you must be the identity of a lifter.

After nearly three years of studying in Guozijian, Mai Fan felt that he should have a good result in the examination when he returned to Jinling Mansion this time.

Similarly, after he finished the exam, he would go to the Lin Mansion again at his father's request.

Listening to Lin Ruhai, who is also his master, since the two of them were embarrassed, even if the old emperor suddenly passed his throne to the four princes during his reign, the two of them did not panic.

He went to Yangzhou this time, first, to bring some private goods to his father, and second, to describe Lin Daiyu's life in Jiafu to Lin Ruhai.

Let's not talk about how he spent the three days of the township test.

But this time, the treatment is a little different from when he tried to show his talents.

His old father, who had to set off firecrackers in the first pass of the boy's exam, sent him to Yangzhou when he had just come out of the examination room to rest for two days.

He hasn't even seen the results of this game.

How can it be treated like this?

But the expression on his father Xue Jue's face was too solemn, so that Mai Fan had to put away his carelessness.

"What's wrong?"

"The new emperor wants us to surrender. ”

Hearing this, Mai Fan knew that the matter was really serious.

It stands to reason that the old emperor has only abdicated for more than half a year now, and the new emperor is not stable in power.

And there is a favored younger brother of the Zhen family below him, who is a little older than him, but he is about to become an adult.

And at the beginning, there was a serious 800 prince above the head of the fourth prince, if it wasn't for the prince who later raised the banner and did something inappropriate, this throne would never fall on the head of the mediocre four princes.

Therefore, at this juncture, where did the other party get the confidence to think that his father and even Lin Ruhai, the salt patrol royal historian, would serve his disciples just because of a few letters?

After all, a person is a party member who is in charge of salt affairs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and his father, although he is named Huangshang, but his title of Ziwei Sheren who can walk in the imperial court is really not a false title.

On the surface, he is purchasing for the palace, but secretly it is the dark line that the old emperor buried in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Many sources of money were handled by Xue Jue's hands.

If Xue Jue takes refuge in the current new emperor, it is equivalent to cutting off the old emperor's financial path and digging the corner of capital.

Why did these four princes have such courage, or was this a game from the beginning?

"That's why I need to ask your master, Lord Lin, for his opinion.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
