Jia Min knew that after Yang Wan gave birth, she panicked, although because of the fetal dream and the late stage of pregnancy, the doctors who came to see her said that she was pregnant with a boy, but before she was born, her heart could not fall 100% after all.

Originally, as an elderly pregnant woman, it was extremely difficult for her to conceive this child. She refused to raise the fetus with peace of mind, and she was always worried about the gender of the fetus in Yang Wan's womb, and almost miscarried under the stimulation of the news of Yang Wan's birth.

I don't know how Jia Min did it, and what kind of idea Lin Ruhai has, anyway, it wasn't until Lin Jin passed the third wash that he saw her for the first time, and he didn't stay in Zhuangzi for long, so he left in a hurry after ordering a meal; After that, he didn't come to Zhuangzi as many times as when Yang Wan was not born, and every time he came and went in a hurry. It wasn't until the child in Jia Min's womb was born that Aunt Lin was taken back to the house with her daughter and "grandson" after a hundred days.

Because Aunt Lin and Yang Wan were afraid that Lin Ruhai would find out that Lin Jin was a girl, they didn't want Lin Ruhai to have more contact with the child; In addition, Jia Min didn't want Lin Ruhai to pay more attention to Lin Jin; And because not long after, Jia Minsheng's brother Mao has been sick since she was born, with a minor illness in two days and a major illness in three days, while Lin Jin is in good health and almost doesn't even sneeze all year round; In this case, Lin Ruhai, a father, involuntarily focused more on his sick and weak young son; …… In short, for various reasons, Lin Jin's true gender was well concealed and was not discovered.

……

When Lin Jin was born, she was like a normal baby, until Daiyu was three years old, a monk came to the family and turned her into a monk, but Lin Ruhai and Jia Min refused.

Seeing this, the leper monk left "I can't bear her, but I'm afraid that her illness won't be good for the rest of her life." If you want to be good, you must never see crying from now on; Except for parents, all those who have relatives and friends with foreign surnames are not seen, so that this life can be safe. In this case, drift away.

Then Lin Jin seemed to be punched by someone in Tianlinggai, the pain was unbearable, and he fainted. It wasn't until dinner that she finally woke up, and awakened the memory of her previous life, knowing that she had traveled to the world of Dream of Red Mansions and became a child of the Lin family.

The reason why she knew that she didn't exist was because in the original history, the Lin family only had one daughter, Daiyu. Then, she soon discovers that although she is a girl, she actually exists as a boy. In this regard, Lin Jin not only accepted it well, but also was very happy.

Because although history turned a corner at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was no Qing Dynasty, and it is currently the Qin Dynasty, but it is still a feudal patriarchal society, and the ideology of the society is Cheng Zhu Lixue, which was inherited from the Ming Dynasty, so it is not friendly to women in this era, and the better the background, the greater the constraints on women.

In her previous life, although Lin Jin was not a career-oriented, relatively speaking, let her be locked up in the back house all day long, and be a lady who does not go out of the door, she is more willing to live as a man.

It's just that as a man, her career choice will be a problem in the future?

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, no matter what kind of businessman, they are just their "money bags", and once they don't get what they want, they don't want to abandon it. For example, 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 prime minister and the reform with the full support of the emperor, in the end, in the opposition of the ministers, they all withdrew. 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 small third-tier city, she is from the city anyway, so she has never farmed, even if it was popular in the city for a while, she has never done such a thing as growing vegetables in flower pots on the balcony. When she can't even tell the difference between wheat seedlings and leeks, isn't it a joke to let her go 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 they can be produced, and they don't know anything; 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. This kind of research can take a few years at least or a lifetime at most, 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 "Shi" class, this is the blessing of Torin like the sea.

The Lin family has no title to inherit, so once Lin Ruhai passes away, even if the family relies on the shadow of the ancestors, it can still be said that it is the family of the squire. But if she can't stand up, the 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,...... Covet. The stone nerd who was falsely imprisoned because she had a few ancient fans at home may be a lesson for her; Moreover, the Feng Yuan who was killed by Xue Pan was also from a squire's family, but didn't he have nowhere to sue after being killed?

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 Linjian's education, she does not have the idea of pinning her net worth on others.

If she is self-reliant, Lin Jin wants to protect herself, her family, and the Lin family, which means that she will remain in the "scholar" class after Lin Ruhai's death.

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, to be an official through grace; The third is to be like the big housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, Lai Shangrong, the son of the Lai family, and take the road of donating officials.

Because Lin Jin is a woman, the first method is not feasible.

Even if it is true that Hua 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. Let's not talk about whether she has that brain, 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 is subject to body searches. And this body search is not something that can be passed by touching it at random, it is very strict. When she was reading idle books in her previous life, she saw a story recorded on it about a candidate who used his anus to carry a cheat sheet, was discovered, and was disqualified from the imperial examination.

In this case, Lin Jin didn't feel that she could get away with it. Once her disguise as a man is discovered, it will not only be disqualified from the imperial examination, if Lin Ruhai is still there, then his eunuch career will not only be over, but will definitely be questioned; What my grandmother and mother did back then will be exposed, and I don't know how many people will be implicated? There are also women of the Lin and Yang clans, whether they are married or unmarried, especially Daiyu, the half-sister whose reputation will be ruined. There are even more serious consequences, but now she is not familiar with the rules of this society, so she has not thought of it.

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 office, the Jia family was already declining, and although Lai Shangrong was born with a good name, 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.
