Chapter 15 Jia Lian

Not to mention how busy Dai Yuhua is every day after worshipping the teacher, getting up early to read and practice calligraphy, practicing calligraphy in the morning, and learning embroidery with Aunt Luo in the afternoon. This is not just because of the apprenticeship post of a bamboo skewer "drawn" on the day of apprenticeship.

On the second day of apprenticeship, Huang Jiyun wanted to see how many words Daiyu knew before setting the steps for teaching, after all, he knew that Daiyu had never learned. That's right, although we are high-achieving college students and elite white-collar workers, we are from elementary school in simplified Chinese! At this point, we are illiterate people who don't know much...... But fortunately, there is Jia Min, the mother of Jinling's first talented woman, not to mention literacy, even if she writes poems and essays, it is also easy to come! If you don't understand, just ask, this little Daiyu is very good to adhere to, and implement the good habit of "not shamefully asking"! Jia Min is also happy that Daiyu loves to learn, unlike other children of the same age who only play around. Besides, although it is a little difficult to read and write, we can't stand it, and we can memorize it, and then after modern systematic learning, cultural edification, and polishing of exam-oriented education. The flexibility of Daiyu's thinking is not comparable to that of this ancient person! So Ren Daiyu had already followed Jia Min to recognize the traditional Chinese characters seven, seven, eight, eight. It's just that everyone doesn't know or no one has asked her, so she doesn't bother to show off.

So when Huang Jiyun casually took the book and came over to Daiyu, he said: "I'll read a paragraph casually, and if you can write it, write it down, and it doesn't matter if you can't." Daiyu is hesitating to write? Or write? This is the dictation of later generations, if you can't write a lot of words, wouldn't you have to start learning from 300 texts sadly? So I decided to write well, and I didn't let go of anyone who could write. So he picked up the pen and held his breath to concentrate. But she is really not used to this calligraphy, she can read and recognize, and she can write, it and can write well, which are two different things. Always accidentally is a lump of ink into a mess, had to rewrite, three or five times later Daiyu was angry, from the bookbox turned out a sharpened end of the stick, just like the later generations to eat mutton skewers that kind of small bamboo sticks, stained in ink then began to write hard, for a while also forgot what traditional Chinese simplified Chinese characters. In her previous life, Daiyu often took meeting minutes, and the speed of writing was conceivable.

When Huang Jiyun turned behind Daiyu and saw her holding a bamboo skewer on the best cooked xuan, especially when there were occasionally a few more complicated simplified characters, it was a typo! At that moment, Huang Jiyun's heartache could not be expressed in words. So Daiyu lived a miserable life of 500 characters a day, and she couldn't be lazy. Because Huang Jiyun, Teacher Huang, and Master Huang will let his scholar Baizhu count one by one.

Daiyu children looked at the little scholar Baizhu number pitiful, so he kindly taught the little scholar Arabic numerals and simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, this Arabic numerals were transmitted to China in the Tang Dynasty, but no one cared about the spread of it, there are still records in ancient books. When Huang Jiyun asked, Daiyu answered confidently. So it is conceivable that the books in the Lin family's library have been flipped through by Huang Jiyun and Lin Ruhai, and how to clean them up is a later story, not to mention it for the time being. Of course, the two of them had gains, and they did find two ancient books with Arabic numerals, which were called Indian numerals at that time. But I didn't find what addition, subtraction, multiplication and division was, Daiyu thought to herself that this would not have been invented yet! I don't know if anyone will invent this Red House in the future, as if I haven't heard of France or Scotland. So this became Daiyu's own invention, and she didn't blush at all!

Huang Jiyun and Lin Ruhai were very interested in this counting method, and found it convenient and simple. So everyone was very interested in studying it with Daiyu, and it is unknown whether Daiyu has been applied to other places. She only knows that research is research, and writing is writing, and she should not write a few big words less for such a "great invention" as herself, and now no one needs the little scholar Baizhu to count them one by one, so she shouldn't count too fast.

In view of the fact that Daiyu is now very literate, Master Huang asked Daiyu to read to him while copying the book, and occasionally made mistakes in sentences, which were immediately corrected and explained. Although she has not taken a serious lesson, Daiyu has memorized and understood a book in a few days. For such a speed, Huang Jiyun was not only surprised by the abnormal, but also decided to increase the difficulty. Even Daiyu herself is also incredulous about her current memory. As the days passed, Daiyu's calligraphy also improved at her own miserable speed, of course, Lin Ruhai and Huang Jiyun were still very satisfied with such a speed.

But he said that he adopted Daiyu's suggestion that day, and asked Zhuangzi to take Yinglian to Beijing to visit all the way, and he heard a lot of rumors about Rongguo Mansion, and when he arrived at Rongguo Mansion, it was already the first month. Mrs. Wang heard that she was here to join her family, but she didn't see anyone, so after asking Zhou Rui's family to find out who came, she learned that she was taking refuge with Grandma Sun who married Jia Min. So he arranged for someone to let him live in the back street temporarily. Mrs. Wang thought very well, first got the identity deed of these two people, and then sent it to Jia Min to find Grandma Sun. It's kind of an eye-and-ear.

The descendants of Rongguo Mansion, everyone in the world knows that the mouth is the least strict, and there is nothing that cannot be detected. Sure enough, it didn't work, and the daughter-in-law of Qiushi inquired about seven, seven, eight, eight, eight. So I decided to go back to my life, and after looking for several opportunities, I finally slipped out again when Zhou Rui's family went out to collect the money for the seal, and besides, she and Yinglian did not have a deed of sale in the Rongguo Mansion, so they went all the way south and returned to Gusu City not long after.

When these two people rushed back to Gusu City, it was already the season of spring in February and March, when the grass and water were the same color. Hearing that Qiu Shi's family and Yinglian were back, Jia Min immediately recruited people to him. After careful inquiry, he found that it was even more serious than what Lin Ruhai said, and he suddenly fell into an ice cave. Especially when I heard that there is not even a place for Jia Lian in the house now, when Jia Lian lived in a small three-and-a-half-room room behind the hall, he was even more distressed and burst into tears. The eldest brother Jia Yu is a person who doesn't care about things, and the Xing family only listens to the eldest brother Jia Yu, and he actually pushed Jia Lian to Mrs. Wang of the second room, and now he has become the follower of the eldest nephew Jia Zhu! How can this be true? The grandson of the long house, the son-in-law of the first-class general, became the follower of the son of the Ministry of Works, and he lost face when he said it. Jia Min, who was in front of Qiushi's family, naturally didn't say anything, so he waved her hand and asked her to go back, and gave her fifty taels of silver as a reward.

Speaking of this money, the Lin family suddenly has an extra 1.8 million taels of silver now! Of course, many of them are shops, granges, gold and silver jewelry, etc., and some are calligraphy and paintings reported by ancestors who were damaged, and the porcelain dishes that were reported to be damaged by ancestors, old ladies and old ladies when they passed away in previous years, are all produced by official kilns with years. That's 1.8 million. Those who committed crimes in the house were all sent to the officials, and those who should be arrested were arrested, and those who did not commit crimes were also exempted from the value of silver and let the clothes, shoes and hats of their own people be thrown out. The original six or seven hundred people in this mansion, all of a sudden there were only a hundred or so left, but it was a lot cleaner, there were fewer people, but there was no chaos, after all, there were not many things to do with the master. Everyone's responsibility for the household, who does what and who does what, is now clear and clear. There will be no laziness.

After saying that after Qiushi's family left, Jia Min remembered the discussion with Lin Ruhai that night, thought about it, and said it again in the evening, and sent a letter to Jia's mother the next day.

More than 20 days have passed in a blink of an eye, and now it is not as lazy as before, and the fast horse that delivered the letter finally arrived in the capital. The weather was just right on this day, Jia's mother was joking with Baoyu Xiangyun and Sanchun in the house, the mandarin duck saw the figure shaking outside the door, so he quietly retreated, and asked if it was a letter from his aunt and grandmother, so he took it and happily lifted the curtain and went in, Jia's mother saw the mandarin duck's face full of joy and asked: "Who is outside?" What is it that makes joy like this? Hearing Jia's mother's inquiry, the mandarin duck leaned over and said with a smile: "The old lady can give a reward if she listens." Hearing this, Baoyu and a few others were also interested, and Baoyu said: "Sister, just say, the ancestor won't pick one for you in my house when you go back, okay?" The mandarin duck looked at Baoyu and hurriedly smiled: "Where do you dare to let the second master break the bank?" After speaking, he turned to Jia's mother and said, "Grandma has a letter!" The old lady said that she should give a reward? ”

Mother Jia was really happy when she heard it, since the first month of the year, everyone came back to say how Jia Min looked bad because of Brother Yan'er's affairs, and said how well-behaved Daiyu was, Mother Jia always remembered in her heart, and when she said that a letter was coming, she hurriedly asked Mandarin Duck to take out her tortoiseshell glasses. Mandarin duck is also a clever man, gave the letter to Jia's mother and went in to get the glasses, and Jia Min handed the glasses to him as soon as he finished speaking.

Jia Mu smiled and took the glasses and put them on, and halfway through reading the letter, she sent a few small ones out to play with herself. The smile on his face became less and less, and the mandarin duck was also worried when he saw this, but he didn't know what he said in the letter.

After reading a letter, Jia Min was already teary-eyed and sighed. Although the mandarin duck didn't know what was going on, he knew that he had to step forward to be relieved at this time, so he gently stroked Jia's mother's chest and said, "Old lady, don't be upset, it's so good, why are you crying?" Even my aunt and grandmother were uneasy when they found out. After some relief, Jia's mother stopped crying and said, "Go, bring me the boss and the old family." "The mandarin ducks here don't mention it.

After a while, the eldest lord Jia Yu and Xing came to the upper room, because they didn't know what happened Xing was very worried. When he arrived at Jia's mother's room and saluted with Jia Yu, he just hid behind Jia Yu and bowed his head without saying a word. Jia Yu looked around and looked around at the various furnishings in the house. Jia Mu frowned and looked at the two of them without saying anything, and said directly: "Your sister has sent a letter." After speaking, he glanced at Jia Yu and the two of them, and saw that both of them looked indifferent, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. continued: "It is said that Brother Yan'er has gone, and his knees are desolate, and it is very difficult, so I want to take Lian'er to live for a few days to comfort the pain of Sizi." I said again that I had a good time with Mrs. Xianda, but I couldn't see the last face, and it was comforting to see Lian'er. What do you two say? This last sentence is an inquiry, but the tone is not too good, as if you dare to give me a disagreement to try! The Xing family didn't care about Jia Lian in the first place, but Jia Yu's mind changed quickly: now that the Lin family is about to become extinct, Jia Lian will definitely be able to get some benefits in the past, so the two of them responded: "It's all up to the old lady's orders." Jia Mu was very satisfied with this, so she nodded and said, "In this way, you will go and pay tribute to Lian'er Haosheng and set off as soon as possible." The elder brother of the uncle's family went, leaving only one sister, although she was smart and lovely, she was also favored by the youngest son of the Huang family and accepted as an official disciple. But in the end, it is a girl's house, and it can't inherit the lintel. It is not easy for Min'er to come by in the Lin family, I am such a girl, and I was raised by Jin Zunyu when I was young. At this time, she thought about this nephew, so she asked Lian'er to help his aunt together, and there was always his benefit. You also take care of your sister. ”

Soon, Jia Lian saluted properly, took two little girls and a grandmother and took a boat to Gusu. All the way down the river, the mountains and rivers on both sides of the river are beautiful. Jia Lian is not ignorant, knowing that he is the son of Dafang, and he will attack the lord in the future. I also know that my mother has left a lot of belongings for me, but I don't know who took it in my hands, and whether I can get it back in the future is still two words. I also know that now the big house has no status in the house, the old lady prefers the second room, and the big house can only bear to retreat, even the father is not a top matter. Jia Lian knew everything in his heart, and he couldn't help but be a little depressed, but there was no place for him to speak in Rongguo's Mansion. Now that I have come out, I can't help but open up a lot in my heart, and I have a little bit of the pride and ambition of a teenager, thinking that this time I can't go back easily no matter what, with my uncle Lin Ruhai helping to say that I can't say that I can do something over there, Jiangnan is a really prosperous place.

When Jia Min saw Jia Lian, it was already the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, and when the sun was big, people were a little embarrassed, and they were bored leaning on the bamboo couch.

I saw that the ink-colored bun was tied with a rain-soaked azure hairband, and the body was also a rain-swept azure robe, with a moon-white belt inlaid with green treasures around the waist, and the whole person looked slender and upright and walked away with great spirit, and I liked it very much. Before he could salute, he hurriedly called him to come to him.

looked at him with pink faces, red lips and white teeth, and a smile in his eyebrows, very much like his sister-in-law. Ask a few words and find that there is a degree of advance and retreat, and the answers are like a stream, and there is a shadow of the first sister-in-law. Thinking of his grievances in the Rongguo Mansion, but now he doesn't say a word, he can't help but love him even more.

At dinner, because she was used to eating together as a family, and although Jia Lian was a little older, after all, Daiyu was still young, so she didn't avoid it at different tables. After the four of them finished eating, Lin Ruhai called Jia Lian to the study. Liudaiyu followed Jia Min to read the account books in the room, because of the application of Arabic numerals in the Lin Mansion, now the account books have been reformed by Daiyu into the simplest tabular loan account book, and the income and expenditure are clear at a glance. Naturally, there was nothing to see, Daiyu saw that Jia Min's face was a little tired, so she obediently said goodbye and retired.

Don't think that she is really so well-behaved, mainly because there is really nothing to do there, and I thought that although Jia Lian was designed by herself, no one told her what her parents planned, so the "well-behaved" Daiyu went to her father's study to listen to the corner.

Lin Ruhai asked Jia Lian a few words of knowledge, and found that Jia Lian really hadn't read any books, so he felt a little unhappy in his heart. The Lin family is a family of Hanmo, a scholarly heirloom, and it is really difficult to like people who don't like to read. It happened that Daiyu came to the outside of the study at this time, saying that she was listening to the corner, but she didn't plan to hide it, and was soon discovered by Lin Ruhai. Now that it was discovered, Daiyu walked in generously, without eavesdropping on the embarrassment of the corner. first saluted Lin Ruhai, and then turned to Jia Lian Yifu.

Daiyu knew that Jia Lian didn't like to read, and knew that Lin Ruhai wouldn't like it. But in the original book, it was said that Jia Lian was very capable of general affairs, but Lin Ruhai didn't know it, so he said to Lin Ruhai with a smile: "Now that Cousin Erlian is here, Daddy finally has a helper, so he can be more relaxed and less tired." After speaking, he unexpectedly saw a flash of contempt in Lin Ruhai's eyes, but Lin Ruhai concealed it very well, if it wasn't for Daiyu's attention, he wouldn't have found it. Daiyu didn't pay attention to it, but turned her head and asked Jia Lian, "Cousin Lian knows Indian digital?" Jia Lian was originally asked a few questions by Lin Ruhai, and he was very embarrassed if he couldn't learn the question, and then when he heard Daiyu ask like this, he even turned his neck red when he swished, and Daiyu didn't wait for Jia Lian to answer and then said innocently: "Then Indian numbers are fun." If Cousin Lian learns it, he can play with me! Making full use of his small advantage, the desire on his face deeply sprouted Jia Lian. Jia Lian subconsciously nodded in agreement.

This Jia Lian is indeed very talented in arithmetic, and he even learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in a few days, mainly because Daiyu pestered him to "play" together. Especially if you're playing with 24, can this progress not be fast? Lin Ruhai was also very surprised when he found out, that is, he didn't learn as fast as Jia Lian. Therefore, the contempt for Jia Lian in my heart was slightly reduced, thinking that Jia Lian was still very smart, but he had been lacking teaching. So he set a learning goal for Jia Lian and taught him personally. You said that Lin Ruhai was busy with official business and had no time? It's okay! Isn't there still a great Confucian Huang Jiyun living in the house? No matter how bad it is, there is a good daughter who is too smart!

The humid heat in the south of the Yangtze River is different from the dry heat in the north, and before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jia Lian fell ill, and now Daiyu had an excuse to say that Jia Lian was in poor health and needed to exercise more, otherwise he would not be able to survive the next exam next year. It turned out that Jia Lian was still learning very well in two months, but he didn't like to learn before, first, there was no learning atmosphere, and second, there was no good teacher. Now Lin Ruhai personally checks every day, Daiyu supervises, and occasionally gets Huang Jiyun's guidance, and the progress is still very fast. Lin Ruhai saw that he was already thirteen, so he said that Jia Lian would take the boy's test next year. More than two months of study, although the time is a little shorter, Jia Lian still has some confidence in his heart, after all, there is still more than half a year. At this time, I was very anxious when I heard that it would affect the exam, and I heard Daiyu say to Lin Ruhai: "Daddy, why don't you ask Cousin Lian to ask a riding and archery master to come back, doesn't it say that the gentleman's six arts are etiquette, music, shooting, royal, calligraphy, and mathematics?" Cousin Lian's literary quality is courteous and thoughtful, it is considered an art, the words are better than mine, this is an art, and the arithmetic is not bad is also an art. When Jia Lian heard this, he couldn't help nodding regardless of whether it was right or wrong, although Lin Ruhai couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't want to refute his daughter's intentions. In this way, it was decided that Jia Lian would get up early to read, ride and shoot in the morning, and practice calligraphy after the lunch break. In the evening, Lin Ruhai checked and explained his homework. Life is full but not busy, and if you have time, you can play with Daiyu and count 24.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

There is no way to make Arabic numerals and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, Daiyu just wants to simplify her life, and there will be pinyin letters later, but it will not be abused everywhere, and it is limited to the needs of her own life. As for other inventions and creations, Daiyu won't, Daiyu is not a science student, and the Lin family is very rich! Daiyu doesn't have to work hard for money.
