Chapter 471: Proposal

"Uncle! Has your Lin family also preserved a lot of books and important classics? Jia Lian asked cautiously, afraid that if he asked a question rashly, Lin Ruhai would not like it, after all, Lin Ruhai just said that the books in the hands of the family are not allowed to be borrowed by outsiders!

Lin Ruhai glanced at Jia Lian meaningfully, guessed his careful thoughts, and looked at Jia Lian's gradually red face, Lin Ruhai smiled: "Our Lin family has a lot of books in the collection, and some of them are placed in my study, if you are interested, you can go to my study to read, but you can't take out the study, do you know?" ”

"Yes! Uncle! Thank you uncle for lending the book to my nephew! Jia Lian danced excitedly, showing the liveliness and innocence of a teenager.

Jia Lian has lived in the Lin family for more than a month, but for some reason, he will be unconsciously nervous every time he faces Lin Ruhai, in fact, Lin Ruhai is very gentle to Jia Lian, and he has never put on a face for him, but it makes Jia Lian unconsciously afraid of him.

After Jia Min and the others returned to Yangzhou, they held an apprenticeship banquet and officially accepted Liu Guanjie as their first apprentice. Lin Ruhai still has to go to the yamen every day to deal with official business, so Lin Lang and Jia Lian are studying with Liu Guanjie. Every day, Lin Ruhai will assign different homework to the three of them for them to do, and after Lin Lang and Jia Lian finish it, Liu Guanjie will check it. After Lin Ruhai came back from the yamen, he would test the homework of the three of them separately, and let them ask questions if they didn't understand, and Lin Ruhai would explain to them patiently. The three of them sometimes discuss their knowledge together and learn from each other's strengths.

"Lian'er, you have made a lot of progress in reading these days, and you have your own insights in thinking about problems! But the horizon is still not wide enough! I would like to recommend you to study at my senior brother's Xixi Academy, where your eldest brother Guanjie studied before. You can think about it, and if you think about it, just talk to me. We are going to leave for Putuo Mountain in two days, one is to send your cousin, and the other is to pray for the blessings of the ancestors of our Lin family. When we return from Putuo Mountain, we will pass through Hangzhou, and I will personally send you there when the time comes! Lin Ruhai proposed to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian had also heard of Xixi Academy in the capital, and he had also heard of Qin Yu, the dean's name. Hearing that Lin Ruhai was willing to recommend him to study at Xixi Academy, Jia Lian was speechless for a while, only grinning and nodding his head.

Lin Ruhai shook his head amusedly and said, "Okay!" There's no hurry, you can write a letter back and ask your grandfather, and I'll send it for you!" ”

"No need to ask! My grandfather will definitely agree, if his old man knows that his nephew can enter Xixi Academy to study, maybe he will show off to others! Jia Lian waved his hand.

Lin Ruhai still persuaded Jia Lian to write a letter to Jia Daishan, if he studied in Xixi Academy, it would take several years, and it was difficult to say whether he would have time to return to the capital in the middle. And according to the rules, Jia Lian's current status as a child is not eligible to enter Xixi Academy, but Lin Ruhai wants his senior brother Qin Yu to accept Jia Lian as an apprentice, so that Jia Lian can stay in Xixi Academy to study openly. Lin Ruhai felt that it was most suitable for Jia Lian to follow Qin Yu to study, he now had an official position, and there were many things to deal with. It's already good to be able to take the time to teach Liu Guanjie's apprentice, but he has no experience to teach another Jia Lian, and Qin Yu is much more experienced than him in teaching apprentices.

Lin Ruhai also wrote a letter to Jia Daishan, telling Jia Daishan his thoughts as they were, hoping that Jia Daishan would understand his hard work and not misunderstand that he was unwilling to teach Jia Lian personally. Then, together with Jia Lian's letter, the Lin family's caravan was sent to the capital.

Lin Ruhai and his family stayed in Suzhou until the fourth day of the new year, and the relatives who should have left have left, and the year that should be worshipped has also been worshipped, so they set off for Putuo Mountain on the morning of the fourth day of the new year. This time I went to Putuo Mountain and did not transfer to Hangzhou, but got on the boat directly at the North Wharf in Suzhou, drove all the way into the Yangtze River, and then went down the Yangtze River directly into the sea, which was the same route as when I came back from Linjia Island.

This time, there were more people on the trip, and there were horses and carriages on the boat, so Lin Ruhai asked people to arrange a bigger boat. This ship has just been built on Linjiadao, which is more stable than the one Jia Min sat on in the capital before, and nearly twice as large as that ship, which is also the largest, most stable, and most luxurious ship that Linjiadao has built today!

Lin Lang has been diverting to Putuo Mountain almost every year over the years, and going south from Putuo Mountain to Langyue Peninsula, he is quite familiar with this road, and he is no longer surprised by the scenery he saw on the boat. But Jia Lian had never seen the sea before, and he had never been on such a big boat, so he was naturally very excited. But the good times didn't last long, and not long after the big boat they were on sailed into the sea, Jia Lian began to get seasick.

"What does Lian'er think?" Jia Min looked at Jia Lian who was curled up on the bed and asked worriedly.

"Auntie! When are we going to arrive? ”

"I have to drive on the sea for a day and a night to reach Putuo Mountain!" Lin Lang said at this time.

"Ahh I'm going to die! Why is it taking so long! Jia Lian let out a wail.

At this time, Xiaoshu came over with a bowl of fried medicine, and Jia Min saw it and quickly took it and said to Jia Lian: "Lian'er is good!" The medicine is already cured, my aunt will feed you to take the medicine, and it will be much better if you take the medicine! ”

Jia Lian was so dizzy that he couldn't sit up or raise his head, so Jia Min asked him to lean on a big pillow and feed Jia Lian medicine with a spoon spoon by spoon. This medicine added some soothing medicine, and Jia Lian fell asleep not long after taking it.

Jia Min told Jia Lian's personal servants to let them look at it lively, and if there was anything wrong, they would hurry back to her. Then he took Lin Lang out and went back to their respective cabins to rest.

"How's Lian'er? Have you taken any medicine? Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Min was back, so he put down the book in his hand and got up to greet him.

Jia Min was also a little tired after being tossed by Jia Lian, and was helped by Lin Ruhai to lie down on the bed, "I just took the medicine, and now I am asleep, I see that he is sleeping quite peacefully, so I will come back first and let him sleep well!" ”

"After taking the medicine, there shouldn't be anything, the medicine of the dark two is still very effective, I have taken the medicine he prescribed to me these days, and I feel better than before!" Lin Ruhai helped Jia Min take off her shoes and covered her with a quilt. After watching Jia Min gradually fall asleep, he sat on the chair next to him and continued to read his book.
