The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

...

Chapter 95: Jalan

When Lin Yun came to the gate of the courtyard, he saw a wooden cart parked at the gate. Besides the two brothers Ding Yuannan and Ding Yuanxi, there was an old man in a coarse cotton robe in front of the cart.From the respectful attitude of the two brothers towards the old man, Lin Yun guessed that this was probably their father.

After meeting and chatting, Ding Yuannan introduced the identity of the old man to Lin Yun.As expected, this is their father Ding Shoucheng.

Ding Shoucheng smiled at Lin Yun and said, "I saw the sketch of a gun drawn by the young master last night, and I couldn't sleep a wink all night. As soon as it gets light today, I will ask Nan'er to accompany me to visit, hoping not to disturb the young master. rest."

"Uncle, please don't do this. Brother Yuannan and I have the same interests. His father is my elder. From now on, uncle will just give you orders. My nephew will not refuse."

After Lin Yun finished speaking, he extended his hand to invite the three of them to come in and rest.

Ding Yuanxi ran to the wooden cart and came back with two hens. He smiled at Lin Yun and said, "Brother Lin, this is your first visit and you don't have anything to give. These are the chickens raised by my sister-in-law. Please accept them." Down."

"Thank you! My aunt is just recovering from a serious illness, and just needs tonic and recuperation. You guys are giving me help."

After Lin Yun finished speaking, he ordered the servants to take the chicken and send it to the kitchen to make it for Jia Min's body.

...

Inviting the father and son to sit down in his residence, Lin Yun first asked Xiao Mo to bring tea and snacks to entertain the guests, and then ordered Brother Ying to go to the back house to see if Jia Min was up, and was going to lead Ding Yuannan to the back house to meet the elders at home.

Ding Yuannan was very moved when he heard this. He had already found out from Qin Xiaoting that Lin Yun's uncle, Lin Ruhai, was appointed by the emperor to patrol the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, and his aunt was the direct daughter of Mrs. Rong Guotai from the Jia family in the capital.

Now Lin Yun is going to lead him to meet his elders in the inner house. This is a courtesy that Qin Xiaoting has not been able to enjoy. It can be seen that Lin Yun really wants to make him a good friend.

Ding Shoucheng was a firearms fan, and he was completely unaware of what Lin Yun was doing. After taking a few sips of tea, he couldn't wait to take out the sketch and ask Lin Yun about some difficulties in making the flint gun.

Lin Yun didn't know much about this. He could only tell the other party that the point of gunpowder launch is that the better the seal, the greater the power.

At the same time, he told the old man that in order to speed up the filling of the powder, you can use fixed-pack gunpowder, that is, set the amount of gunpowder in advance and pack it in a carton. Risk of bombing.

After hearing this, the old man praised him again and again, and asked Lin Yun to fetch a pen and paper to record all the points he said.

The father and son came quickly and left in a hurry. After Lin Yun led Ding Yuannan to meet Jia Min, the three father and son of the Ding family took the initiative to leave.

Before leaving, Lin Yun handed Ding Shoucheng 300 taels of silver notes as funds for making fire guns.

The old man was not polite and accepted it directly.Lin Yun was very suspicious. He came here so early, probably not to discuss some technical issues with him, but to ask for money.

...

After breakfast, Lin Yun was just about to go out, but the servant came to report again, saying that someone from the Rongguo Mansion had sent New Year gifts.

He hurried out to greet him, and just as he walked out of the yard, he saw Qian Cong walking towards Li Wan, accompanied by a boy in a red cloak who looked about six or seven years old beside Li Wan.

Lin Yun hurried forward to greet Li Wan and said, "Lin Yun wishes my sister-in-law well."

Li Wan returned a salute, then said with a smile: "Brother Yun, I was appointed by the old lady to bring you some New Year gifts."

Lin Yun smiled and said, "The old lady still loves my aunt."

Li Wan: "Isn't that right, since I got married, I have never seen anyone who likes the old lady more than my aunt."

"Did sister-in-law forget, isn't there a brother Bao in the house?"

Li Wan smiled slightly, neither denying nor agreeing, but said to the little boy beside him, "Lan'er, please greet Uncle Yun."

The little boy took a step forward and bowed to Lin Yun, "Lan'er greets Uncle Yun."

Lin Yun nodded and smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, did Brother Lan ever get enlightened?"

Li Wan: "I didn't go out to study, but I taught him a few words at home. I brought him here today, just to ask Brother Yun to give him some advice."

Lin Yun asked Jia Lan what books he had read, and the little guy said respectfully, "I just finished studying Zeng Guangxian's essays, and now I'm studying Qionglin for elementary school."

Li Wan: "Lan'er has a lot of things he doesn't understand in studying. I know that my knowledge is limited, so I ask Brother Yun to give him more advice in the future."

Lin Yun: "I'm also half-baked. If my sister-in-law is not afraid that I will spoil Brother Lang, then I can give him some advice with the cheek."

Li Wan said happily, "Thank you, Brother Yun."

Lin Yun: "I'll send my sister-in-law to see my aunt first, and then I'll have a chat with Lan Geer alone."

Li Wan hurriedly said: "I have a rich housekeeper to accompany me to see my aunt, you can talk about it."

Lin Yun thought: "This sister-in-law is really impatient and won't waste any time."

...

After sending Li Wan away, Lin Yun led little Jialan to his study.

Without his mother around, little Jialan immediately became active. He looked east and west, and then said to Lin Yun, "Uncle Yun, I heard from my mother that you have been selected as a scholar. Is it difficult to test for a scholar?"

Lin Yun nodded and said: "It is indeed difficult. Generally speaking, based on the admission rate of academic examinations in various places, it would be good if ten out of a hundred scholars can pass."

Jia Lan: "Uncle Yun, you have been selected as a scholar at such a young age, so you must be very good at studying, right?"

Lin Yun said with a smile: "There are many people who are better at studying than I am. The main reason why I was able to pass the exam was that besides being lucky, I put in more effort in studying."

Jia Lan asked suspiciously, "But I don't think you have many books in your study?"

"Reading is not about the more books the better, but reading useful books. It is best to read the reading notes left by those successful people, so as to broaden your horizons. And the most important thing is to write articles frequently , There is a saying that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and the key to success is to read more and write more.”

After Lin Yun finished speaking, he got up and found a mahogany box, and opened it in front of Jia Lan.

When Jia Lan saw it, he was immediately shocked, and saw that the box was full of reading notes.

Lin Yun found a book of reading notes from it, handed it to Jia Lan and said, "This is the reflection I wrote when I was in Qionglin, a primary school. You can take it back and look it up, maybe it will be useful."

Jia Lan hurriedly took it, "Thank you, Uncle Yun."

Lin Yun added: "When I come back from my next vacation, I will bring the reading notes you wrote and give them to me to look at."

Jia Lan immediately said with a bitter face, "I'm afraid I won't be able to write it."

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. If you write more, it will become easier and easier in the future."

"OK then."

Lin Yun chatted with little Jia Lan for a while, until Parrot came over and said that Shi Xiangyun was here, and then he led Jia Lan to Jia Min's room to see Shi Xiangyun.

Chapter 96: No man is lecherous

The carriage was driving slowly on the street. In the carriage, Li Wan was looking through the reading notes that Lin Yun gave to Jia Lan.

Li Wan's natal family was a well-known family in Jinling, and his father, Li Shouzhong, also served as a sacrificial wine for the Imperial Academy of Yingtianfu, and had a high reputation in the officialdom.

Born in such a family, although Li Wan is a woman, she has read a lot of books, and her knowledge is not bad.

After looking at it for a while, Li Wan closed the reading notes in his hand, secretly pleasantly surprised, thinking that although Lin Yun was good at reading, he might not be able to give advice to her son, but after she read the reading notes, she felt that today was not a good day. It's a waste of time.

Little Jia Lan, who was sitting next to her, saw her mother close the study notes, and said, "Mom, I saw that Uncle Yun has a big wooden box, and all the study notes written by him are stacked inside."

Li Wan smiled and said, "Since your Uncle Yun passed the examination of scholar, he must have studied very hard. There is nothing surprising about having a box of study notes."

"Uncle Yun also asked me to learn to write reading notes, saying that he would check them next time he sees me again."

"Oh,"

Li Wan was even more surprised now. Her son had just learned a few dozen characters, so he couldn't write notes on his studies. Lin Yun's demands on him were too high.

Jia Lan said with a bitter face: "I said that I was afraid I couldn't write it, but Uncle Yun said that even if I could write one sentence, it would be good. If I write one sentence today, I will write another sentence tomorrow. Little things will add up. Slow down." You get used to it slowly."

Li Wan nodded and said, "Your Uncle Yun is right. Studying requires perseverance. You should learn this from him."

"My child understands, mother, can I come over again when Uncle Yun takes a rest next time?"

"of course can."

Jia Lan: "Mom, Uncle Yun said he is going to Jinling City next year. If I can go with him, won't I be able to see my grandfather?"

Li Wan scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you travel far when you are so young?"

Jia Lan said unconvinced: "Aunt Yu is not much older than me, she also came to the capital by boat from Yangzhou."

"Uh,"

Li Wan couldn't explain it now, she couldn't tell her son that your Aunt Yu and her mother were forced to hide in the capital.

After thinking about it, she explained: "When you are as old as your Uncle Yun, you can go to Jinling City to visit your grandfather."

"Yes, that would be great."

Seeing her son's joyful expression, Li Wan felt her nose sore. If her husband was still alive, she could go back to Jinling City to visit relatives at any time, but now there is no hope of going back to Jinling City.

...

Back at Rongguo Mansion, Li Wan led little Jia Lan to Rongqing Hall to meet Jia Mu, who happened to be discussing matters with Jia Zheng.

In fact, Jia Zheng liked Baoyu, who was smart and smart, and wanted to let Baoyu realize his wish of becoming an official who failed the imperial examination.But Baoyu hated reading and taking imperial examinations, which made him very helpless.

Now he heard that Li Wan took little Jia Lan to receive advice from his aunt's brother Yun, which made him very relieved. He also heard about Lin Yun's outstanding performance in the academy and was summoned by the emperor.

If Jia Lan can get closer to Brother Yun, maybe he can get closer to Zhu Zhechi, increasing his chances of becoming an official in the imperial examination. If his son can't count on it, then he can only count on his grandson.

Jia's mother was also very happy, and immediately asked Yuanyang to grab a handful of golden scorpions to buy books, paper and pens for little Jialan.

...

Coming out of Jia's mother's room, Li Wan asked Suyun to lead Jia Lan back, while he went to see Jia Lian in Sister Feng's courtyard.In the future, Jia Lan wanted to go to the Lin Mansion, so he had to ask Jia Lian to take him with him. Now that Jia Lian was injured, he just wanted to make more contacts.

Li Wan walked into Sister Feng's courtyard, and the little maid who guarded the door hurried in to pass the message. When Wang Xifeng heard the news, she took Ping'er, and Feng'er went out to greet her.

Welcoming Li Wan to the bedroom, he first asked about Jia Lian's injuries, and after confirming that there was no problem, he went to the outside room to rest accompanied by Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng asked the little maid to make tea, and asked with a smile: "Didn't the elder sister-in-law go to the aunt's place to give the New Year gift, why did she come back?"

Li Wan: "Since the things have been delivered, what are you going to do if you don't come back? Is it possible that you are still eating there?"

Wang Xifeng asked with a smile: "I heard that sister-in-law brought Lan Geer with her. Could it be that she wants Lan Geer to worship Brother Yun as a teacher?"
