The son is dead, and with Jia Min's age and her current state, the possibility of having another one is very low. In this way, Lin Jin, the eldest son, has become very important.

Lin Ruhai wanted to send Lin Jin to the upper room to raise her, not only to improve Lin Jin's identity, but also to comfort Jia Min, who was immersed in the pain of losing her son and couldn't get out.

In Lin Ruhai's eyes, Lin Jin and Brother Mao are both his sons. Although Brother Mao'er is more valuable because of his status as a concubine, Lin Jin is not an ordinary concubine, and he is the first son he has after many years. Although Lin Ruhai's attitude towards Lin Jin is average because of the existence of Jia Min and Brother Mao, and the need to maintain the majesty of being a father, in fact, in his heart, Lin Jin and Brother Mao are about the same weight, just because they are different, and they are afraid that Jia Min will be too attentive and the back house will be unstable, so they didn't show it.

In Jia Min's eyes, a hundred Lin Jin combined can't compare to her brother Mao. Besides, not long after her son died, Lin Ruhai wanted her to raise a concubine, which was tantamount to stabbing her in the heart, so no matter what reason Lin Ruhai gave, even if it was related to Daiyu, Jia Min still refused without hesitation.

"Master, Sister Yu'er's health is not good, I have to take care of her here, and I have to take care of family affairs, I have a short spirit for a while, and I really can't raise another child." Knowing that Lin Ruhai would definitely persuade her again, she hurried before he spoke: "I know what the master wants to say, just raise children, but not just eat and drink, if that's the case, as long as there is a maid and a wife to serve, why bother us as parents." ”

……

Originally, he had a son-in-law, even if Lin Ruhai attached importance to Lin Jin, he was not too conspicuous, but now that he has no son-in-law, he put all his thoughts on Lin Jin. Because the teacher who originally taught Lin Jin and Daiyu did not follow him to Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai asked Mr. around soon after he arrived. Even if Lin Jin showed average talent, he was still unwilling to compromise, and he must invite a good and knowledgeable gentleman to teach.

When Lin Jin heard that Lin Ruhai chose a teacher for her, she had a little idea, because she thought of Jia Yucun, the teacher of the original Daiyu.

Jia Yucun, in Lin Jin's opinion, in addition to showing a little bit of goodness in Jiao Xing, is selfish, hypocritical, greedy, ruthless, and ungrateful at other times,...... The great traitor.

Lin Jin didn't want to learn from him, not only because he disdained him as a person, but also because in this era, the relationship between teachers and students is very close, not inferior to that of parents. When he becomes an adult, he will enter the officialdom, because of this teacher-student relationship, he will not want to be torn apart from Jia Yucun in this life.

According to the Confucian saying of "Heaven and Earth Monarch and Teacher", only the teacher does not recognize the disciple and expel him from the door, but few disciples dare to disown the teacher, because this behavior belongs to "deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors", the world not only does not agree, but once someone does this, whether the reason is in him or not, it means that he will be expelled to the mainstream society.

It's just that I don't want to return, if someone really introduces Jia Yucun to teach in the house, Lin Jin can't say that she doesn't learn from him.

In modern times, when people mention the fame of Xiucai, it seems that it is not worth anything at all, and whether it is the ancient scripts or the current film and television dramas, it is the champion and the examination of Tanhua, as if it is easier to take the imperial examination, but when Lin Jin came to this world, I knew that not to mention the champion and Tanhua, even if it is the fame of Xiucai, it is not so easy to obtain.

I don't know how many scholars have wasted their time in the field to become a talent, from a young man to a dying old man. Take the first step in the examination of Xiucai, the quota of the children's examination, the quota of each county and government is only twenty or thirty, and its tragedy makes Lin Jin think of the modern examination of Qing University and Peking University.

Although the enrollment of universities in later generations has expanded, how many of the students from various provinces, counties and cities who can be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University can enter these two highest universities in the country every year? There are still a handful of people.

Even if you pass the children's examination early, you may not be able to pass the township examination, the admission rate of the township examination is even lower, and the number of places in each province is uncertain. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, the two capitals and 13 provinces, except for the two capitals and the township test, the quota was maintained at more than 100 people, and the other provinces were less than 100. For example, in Nanzhili, where Nanjing is located, there are more than 20,000 students who take the township examination in each subject, and it is so tragic to compete for the admission quota of those 100 or so people.

The Jinshi exam is held every three years, and about 300 people are admitted each time, with an average of 300 people in three years, that is, 100 people a year.

Based on a population of 60 million, there are 30 million males. Even if there was one in a hundred ancient scholars, it would be 300,000 people competing for 300 places. According to the admission rate, it is one in 1,000, which is much more difficult than when we took the most stringent college entrance examination, that is, in the sixties and seventies.

In this case, Lin Ruhai invited a jinshi to be her teacher of Mengxue, where is Lin Jin unwilling? But she can't say anything about Jia Yucun's bad conduct. Therefore, Lin Jin could only hope for the ethereal gods and Buddhas, and secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that his teacher would never be that guy from Jia Yu Village.

But the power of the plot is too strong, after Lin Ruhai's long entourage invited her to the study, saying that the teacher she invited came, Lin Jin went to the study, and after listening to Lin Ruhai's introduction, she only felt that her eyes were dark, her prayers didn't work, and the person in front of her was Jia Yucun.

But fortunately, although Lin Ruhai invited Jia Yucun to teach her, he did not let her apprentice, and Jia Yucun did not set the status of teacher and student. This situation is similar to the Jia family's ethnology, although Jia Daishan is in charge of it, and he teaches the students in the clan, and these people also call him a teacher, but he is not his disciple.

Lin Jin later figured out why Lin Ruhai didn't let her apprentice, as a man, she was going to be a man. As a member of the Confucian disciples, how could Lin Ruhai not understand how important the teacher-student relationship is in this era, and how could she let her apprentice casually without fully understanding Jia Yucun?

……

Jia Yu village name, the word Shi Fei, originally Huzhou people, since he was dismissed, came to the Huaiyang territory, became the Xibin of the Yan Zheng Lin family, and taught a son and a daughter of the Lin master to read.

Although it is to teach two children, but Lin Jin is the main object of teaching, he and Daiyu have just been enlightened, for him who was born in Jinshi, teaching them to read is a piece of cake, very labor-saving.

Because she knew what he was doing, Lin Jin didn't have a good impression of Jia Yucun, but after following Jia Yucun for a few days of classes, she had to admit that Jia Yucun did have two brushes.

If you have goods in your belly, you may not be able to be a good teacher, but Jia Yucun's class is full of witty words and fun, and the combination of allusions and articles is fascinating. If it is taken to the next generation, it is absolutely no problem to be rated as an "excellent teacher".

But the most important thing is that Jia Yucun's emotional intelligence is very high, although Daiyu and Lin Jin are both his students, but it is obvious that his focus should be on Lin Jin who can participate in the imperial examination.

It's just that Daiyu can't ignore it, you must know that she, as a woman, can take classes with Lin Jin, which shows her status, so if he ignores her, it is likely that Jia Min, who regards Daiyu as an eyeball, will wear "small shoes", and if it is serious, he can even sweep him away.

It is not easy to balance the teaching content of Lin Jin and Daiyu, and to give people the feeling that he also attaches great importance to Daiyu. Because children are the most emotionally sensitive, it is easy to tell whether it is true or false, especially Daiyu is still a very smart girl, but Jia Yucun has done a good job in this regard, and even let Daiyu praise him once in front of Jia Min.

You must know that Daiyu is not easy to praise people, so he can do this, Lin Jin admires it very much.
