Jia Min's son has been ill for nearly two months, during this period, Yang Wan is afraid that Lin Jin will be infected, and she is worried that she will attract Jia Min's eyes, not only strictly forbidding her to go to the upper room, but also detaining her, and the scope of activities is limited to the east courtyard where they live.

Fortunately, Lin Jin is not an ignorant child, she knows what is wrong, and she doesn't go out, and Yang Wan also feels that it is not a matter to blindly detain her, so she took out three, hundred, and thousand enlightenment books to teach her to read.

For Lin Jin, although the simplified Chinese characters she used when she read were evolved from the traditional Chinese characters used in this era, the two have something in common, and she has adult thinking, she recognizes words very quickly, and it is not difficult to get the name of a "prodigy", but her family knows her own family affairs.

In her previous life, she was just an ordinary girl from a third-tier city, an ordinary family, with average qualifications, an ordinary university, and an ordinary major. It's just that her ability is mediocre and she is not good at communicating, so her colleagues who were admitted at the same time as her have been promoted, and she is still just a small clerk.

So she felt that even if she showed a little prodigy when she was literate, she would be out of the public in the near future.

Because in addition to the recognition of words, she has an advantage over other children, and the rest, whether it is poetry and songs, or Bagu Wen or something, stands on the same starting line with them, and even because her three views, thinking and way of thinking have been fixed, she is not better than them on a blank piece of paper, so she may be inferior to them.

Therefore, even if Lin Jin has already recognized all the words on the "Three Character Classic", he can write it, and even memorize the entire book, but his performance in front of Yang Wan is that he can learn five words a day, and at most he can only remember three.

Lin Jin felt that she had no problem maintaining the performance of ordinary children, but she forgot that this was in the Red Mansion, and she had a very smart sister - Daiyu, so her performance was disgusted by Yang Wan, and she complained to Aunt Lin: "Mom, you have told Brother Jin'er's fortune, judging from the results, whether it is a male life or a female life, she will not be an ordinary person in the future."

I think it's probably a mistake. You see, Sister Yu in the upper room has a copy of "Three Character Classic", I heard that I recognized most of it after a few days of teaching, and it was like recognizing words and playing. Look at Brother Sumire again, I've been teaching the same book for more than a month, and I haven't recognized half of it, so I'm stupid to death. ”

Aunt Lin glanced at Lin Jin, who was sitting on the side, and said angrily: "What nonsense, how can you, a mother, dislike children so much." No matter how good Sister Yu is, what does it have to do with you?

In the future, you are not allowed to say that she is stupid or anything like that in front of Brother Sumire. The child is still young and has not yet reached the age of enlightenment, what can he see?

Besides, you are also literate and literate, don't you know the truth that 'if you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles', and that 'as long as you grind the deep iron pestle into a needle'? Learning is never an overnight thing, as long as you are willing to work hard and accumulate slowly, you will eventually achieve something. ”

He hugged Lin Jin into his arms, touched her head, and said lovingly: "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense there, when she was as old as you, she was not as good as you." We don't need to compare ourselves with anyone, only with ourselves, as long as we make progress today compared to yesterday, it's okay. ”

Lin Jin nestled in Aunt Lin's arms, pretending not to understand, and secretly thought to herself: Obedient and listening, these two not only raised her as a boy, but also planned to let her take the entrance examination like a man, right? Did they take the results of their fortune telling her seriously?

Are you kidding! Lin Jin couldn't help but slander in her heart: Even if it is true that Mulan joined the army on behalf of her father, it does not mean that she can really disguise herself as a man to take the imperial examination. Even if she has that talent, she can't enter the examination room, you must know that in order to prevent candidates from being entrained, the imperial examination will be searched.

And this body search is not something that can be passed by touching it at random, it is very strict. In her previous life, when she was reading idle books, she saw that there was a story about a candidate who used his anus to carry a cheat sheet and was disqualified from the imperial examination, from which it can be concluded that the imperial examination body search is almost equivalent to the undressing inspection of a show girl entering the palace, in this case, Lin Jin does not feel that she has the possibility of being fooled.

However, Lin Jin turned to think that whether she took the imperial examination or not, I am afraid that it is not for her to decide. There is no title in the family to inherit, Lin Ruhai himself is a member of the imperial examination, as his son, he can pass the examination, and if he can't pass the examination, he should have to participate in the imperial examination.

Besides, in this world, if she doesn't become an official, what can she do?

Lin Jin crossed her fingers and calculated: If she is a businessman, even if she is successful in business, but in this era, the status of businessmen is not high, and she is despised by others, even if she makes a lot of money, what is the use? In the eyes of those powerful people, it is just their "money bag", and once it is not as good as they want, it is not that they want to abandon it. In this regard, he went all out to help Zhu Yuanzhang build a city, and it is said that Shen Wansan, a businessman who is rich enough to rival the country, is the most obvious example.

If she is a worker, although she is not handicapped, but she is not the kind of skillful hand, and if she is expected to do it, it is definitely not comparable to those craftsmen who have been passed down from generation to generation and specialize in studying a technology.

Moreover, even if she has a lot of good ideas, such as cement and glass, which can be used to benefit the country and the people, it is difficult to promote them.

Because a new thing is born, if you want to promote the application, you must touch the interests of many people.

For example, in later generations, people used alternating current, but after alternating current was invented, Edison, who mastered the technology of direct current, and the interest groups behind him, knew that alternating current was better than direct current, but still chose to ban alternating current, so that the widespread use of alternating current was delayed for decades.

In fact, in ancient China, there was no shortage of similar examples, such as the reform presided over by Wang Anshi in the Northern Song Dynasty. What can you see? It is not because the change of the law touches the interests of the group behind them that they ignore the benefits of the change and vigorously oppose it.

With Wang Anshi's position as the prime minister of a country and the changes that were fully supported by the emperor, they all withdrew in the opposition of the ministers. Lin Jin asked herself, can she withstand the counterattack of those whose interests have been touched?

As for farming, for Lin Jin, it is much more difficult than being a businessman and a worker.

Although she grew up in a third-tier city, she is a city anyway, so she has never farmed, even if it was popular in the city for a while, growing vegetables in pots on the balcony.

She can't even tell the difference between wheat seedlings and leeks, in this case, isn't it a joke to let her go to farming?

The only thing she knows about farming is that if she wants her crops to grow well, she needs chemical fertilizers; Crops can be productive because of the use of hybrid seeds.

In the former, she only knows that chemical fertilizers contain nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other three nutrients that plants need the most, but she doesn't know how to produce them; As for the latter, in addition to knowing that the study of hybrid seeds began with the study of hybrid rice, the rest is a blind eye.

Moreover, studying agriculture requires patience and loneliness, because no matter what kind of research, it may take a few years or a lifetime, and she can't do it at all; Moreover, with her current knowledge reserves, even if she studies with all her heart, I'm afraid she won't be able to research anything, so she should be smarter, don't waste time in this area, just give up.

After removing all three of agriculture, industry, and commerce, she had only one choice left, and that was to be a scholar.

Although she is now in the "scholar" class, this is the blessing of Torin Ruhai.

Once he passes away, if she can't stand up, the family wealth passed down by the Lin family for several generations will be a blessing or a curse for her, even if the Jia family doesn't covet it, there will be the Li family and the Zhang family,...... Coveted, the stone nerd who was falsely imprisoned just because he had a few ancient fans at home may be a lesson for her.

Don't say that there is still the Jia family to count on, even if the Jia family does not fall in the end, ignoring the conclusion that the Jia family cannot rely on from how they treat Daiyu, Shan Linjin's education, she does not have the idea of pinning her life on others.

But if she is self-reliant, Lin Jin wants to protect herself, her family, and the Lin family, which means that she will still remain in the "scholar" class after Lin Hai dies.

But how to stay?

After careful consideration, Lin Jin temporarily found three ways: one is to enter the government through the imperial examination; second, like Jia Zheng, he became an official through Enyin; The third is to be like the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, Lai Shangrong, the son of the Lai family, and take the road of donating officials.

Because Lin Jin's real identity is a woman, the first method is not feasible.

Enyin's words, the key to this method is how important Lin Ruhai is with the emperor?

Lin Jin thought that Lin Ruhai died in the post of the salt patrol imperial history, such an official position involving the people's livelihood as the salt patrol imperial history, it is said that non-emperor's henchmen cannot hold it, in this case, it can be seen that he should have some status in the emperor, but whether he can reach the height of Jia Daishan is difficult to say, so this method is not very safe.

As for donating officials, when he helped Lai Shangrong to seek officials, the Jia family was already declining, and although Lai Shangrong was released, he was the son of a slave after all.

Compared with Lai Shangrong, she is from a higher background than him, and the Lin family is also a Shilu family, which is not much worse than the Jia family.

After finding a way to make herself outstanding, Lin Jin couldn't help laughing, and secretly spit on herself in her heart: she may be the most unpromising traverser. Even if she fails the imperial examination, I am afraid that other traversers will use other ways to show their talents, instead of thinking about buying officials like her.
