Chapter 16 Teacher Jia Yucun
His biological son died of illness, and with Jia Min's age and state, the possibility of having another one is very low. In this way, Lin Jin's status as the eldest son of the Lin family has become very important.
Lin Ruhai wanted to give Lin Jin to Jia Min to raise, not only to comfort Jia Min, who was immersed in the pain of losing her son and couldn't get out, to improve Lin Jin's identity, but also to stabilize her status as the wife of the family.
In Lin Ruhai's eyes, Lin Jin and Brother Mao are both his sons. Although Brother Mao'er is more valuable because of his sister-in-law's status, Lin Jin is not an ordinary concubine, and he is the first son he has after many years; In addition, Brother Mao has been sick and weak since birth, and he can't compare with Lin Jin, who almost doesn't have a cold for a year, so although Lin Ruhai's attitude towards Lin Jin is average because of Jia Min and Brother Mao, as well as maintaining the majesty of being a father, in fact, in his heart, Lin Jin's weight is not much lighter than Brother Mao'er. It's just because of the difference between his concubines and his concubines that he was afraid that Jia Min would be too attentive and the back house would be unstable, so he didn't show it.
But in Jia Min's eyes, a hundred Lin Jin can't add up 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 her daughter, Jia Min still refused without hesitation.
"Master, Sister Dai'er's health is not good, I have to take care of her here, and I have to take care of the house, I am short of 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." ”
Regarding the relationship between Lin Jin and Daiyu, the brother and sister, Jia Min, who had already made arrangements in advance, was not worried. Therefore, without this worry, she doesn't want to raise Lin Jin no matter what.
Yang Wan and Aunt Lin were very happy with this result. Especially Aunt Lin, although when she talked to her daughter, she analyzed it very well, but it was a last resort under the situation. After all, what Yang Wan was worried about was actually what she was worried about, but she wasn't as exposed as she was.
……
originally had a son-in-law, even if Lin Ruhai attached importance to Lin Jin, it was not good to be too much. Now that he has no son-in-law, he puts all his thoughts on Lin Jin. Because the teacher who taught Lin Jin and Daiyu did not come to Yangzhou with him, not long after he arrived, he asked around about Mr. and was going to invite him home to teach Lin Jin. Even if Lin Jin showed average talent, he was still unwilling to compromise, and he must hire a good gentleman who is knowledgeable and talented.
When Lin Jin heard the news that Lin Ruhai had chosen a teacher for her, she thought that according to the original history, Jia Yucun should have appeared at this time.
Jia Yucun, in Lin Jin's opinion, except for showing a little bit of goodness in Jiao Xing, is selfish, hypocritical, greedy, ruthless, and ungrateful at other times,...... The great traitor.
She didn't want to learn from him, not only because she despised 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.
If she is like Daiyu, as a woman trapped in the back house, it doesn't matter if the teacher's behavior is good or bad, but she is walking outside as a man, and she also plans to enter the officialdom, so if she has a teacher-student relationship with Jia Yucun, I am afraid that I will not want to tear him apart in this life.
According to the Confucian saying of "Heaven and Earth Monarch 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 ancestor", the world not only does not agree, but once someone does this, whether the truth is in him or not, it means that he will be expelled from the mainstream society.
It's just that I don't want to return, but if someone really introduces Jia Yucun to teach in the house, Lin Jin really can't tell Lin Ruhai that she doesn't want him to teach her.
After all, before this, she had never heard of or seen Jia Yucun, so she said that he was not good, even if it did not arouse Lin Ruhai's suspicion of her, it was impossible to believe her almost slanderous comments on Jia Yucun.
Moreover, the Jinshi of this era is not a college student after the expansion of enrollment in later generations, and he will catch one on the street casually. Later generations mentioned Xiucai, as if this fame was not worth mentioning at all, and whether it was in ancient scripts or modern film and television dramas, if you don't move, you will be the champion and get the flower exam, as if the imperial examination is very easy.
But when Lin Jin was really in this world, he knew that not to mention the champion and Tanhua, even if it was Xiucai, a seemingly inconspicuous fame, it was not so easy to obtain.
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 tragic degree makes Lin Jin think of the modern entrance examination to these two universities in Qingbei. 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 Qingbei every year can enter these two top universities in the country? 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. Moreover, there is no age limit for the imperial examination, and if you fail the list, you can come again, so year after year, 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.
The Jinshi examination is held every three years, and about 300 people are admitted each time. 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 the most stringent time of the college entrance examination, that is, in the fifties and sixties. Moreover, there are many candidates who have failed the list before and come back, so the acceptance rate is lower than this number.
In this era when you can become an official as long as you pass the Jinshi examination, or even raise people, there are very few people who have the fame of Jinshi but do not become officials, and go to teach students, and most of the only few are working in various well-known academies, and the possibility of wanting to be invited to work as a museum at home is very low.
As for the Jinshi who were dismissed from office for some reason, even if they were idle at home, unless they were asserted by the emperor that they would "never be activated", they were all thinking about seeking revenge, and basically few people had the heart to teach and educate people.
Therefore, in this case, Lin Ruhai can invite a jinshi to be her teacher, 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. The elder ensuage beside Lin Ruhai invited her to the study, and said that after the teacher who invited her 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 did not 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 name of teacher and student. At present, the situation between her and Jia Yucun is similar to that of Jia family studies, although Jia Daishan is in charge of Jia family studies, and he teaches the students in the school, these people also call him a teacher, but he is not his disciple.
In this regard, Lin Jin quickly figured out why Lin Ruhai didn't let her apprentice. As a man, she is going to be a man in the future. As a member of the Confucian family, how could Lin Ruhai not understand how important the teacher-student relationship is in this era? Although when he was invited to come over to teach, although Lin Ruhai didn't hear anything bad about Jia Yucun, it was impossible to let the future heir of the Lin family apprentice casually without understanding his character.
……
Jia Yu village name, the word Shi Fei, originally Huzhou people, since the dismissal, came to the Huaiyang boundary, introduced by two local old friends, as the Xibin of the Yan Zhenglin family, teaching a son and a daughter of the Lin master to read. Although it is to teach two children, Lin Jin is the main target of teaching. Both of these students have just completed their initiation, and for him, who was born as a jinshi, teaching them to read is a piece of cake and very labor-saving.
Because she knew what he did, Lin Jin didn't have a good impression of Jia Yucun, but after a few days of class, she had to admit that this person 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, full of fun, and the clever combination of allusions and articles is fascinating.
The most important thing is that Jia Yucun's emotional intelligence is very high, although Daiyu and Lin Jin are both his students, 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 as a woman, she can take classes with Lin Jin, and she learns books that only men can read, which shows her status in the house. So if he ignores her, he is likely to be worn by Jia Min, who regards Daiyu as an eyeball, in "small shoes", and if it is serious, he can even sweep him out of the house.
It is not easy to balance the attitude towards 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 since Daiyu is still a very smart girl.
But Jia Yucun did a very good job in this regard, and even asked Daiyu to 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.
