Before Lin Daiyu arrived, Lin Kaixing had already met with Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang is over forty, one year older than Lin Ruhai. In this era, women are considered old when they reach this age, especially the ladies from ordinary people and wealthy families. Due to their superior living environment, they may still

Can have the charm of a MILF.

Aunt Wang has the charm of a MILF, and she was a pretty beauty when she was young.

She was born into the Lin family. Her parents were slaves of the Lin family. She was a slave of the Lin family when she was born. When she was ten years old, she became Lin Ruhai's maid. Because of her appearance and talents, she later became Lin Ruhai's concubine.

room.

Somewhat similar to Jia Zheng's concubine Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhao initially gave birth to a son from a family in the Rongguo Mansion, and later became Jia Zheng's concubine. She also gave birth to Jia Tanchun and Jia Huan, the concubine and son of Jia Zheng.

Lin Ruhai had a son who died when he was two or three years old. This son was the bastard son born to Aunt Wang.

With Aunt Wang’s qualifications, it was natural for Lin Ruhai to leave the family residence to her after the death of his wife Jia Min.

Lin Ruhai is quite capable both academically and professionally. In academics, he won the top prize in the Civil Service Examination, and in career, he became an official and became the Salt Censor of the Lianghuai River. However, he was embarrassed when it came to having children.

He is already forty years old. In addition to having a wife and several concubines, he has only given birth to a legitimate daughter and a concubine. The concubine also died in infancy, and his legitimate daughter Lin Daiyu was born weak and sickly.

At this moment, Lin Daiyu walked into the main hall, followed by a little maid named Xue Yan.

Lin Kaixing, who was sitting in the room, got up quickly and looked at Sister Lin, whom he met for the first time. She was also the first Red Mansion Jinchai he had seen since time travel.

The sister Lin in front of him did not give him the feeling of "unparalleled beauty and rare beauty". After all, this sister is not yet ten years old, is not tall enough, and is still small.

It can only be said that from Lin Kaixing's point of view, he saw a beautiful and delicate girl in front of him. Her eyebrows seemed to be frowning but not frowning, and her eyes seemed to be happy but not happy. Lin Kaixing also noticed.

"Dad." Lin Daiyu first saluted and greeted Lin Ruhai, then respectfully saluted and greeted Aunt Wang, but did not take the initiative to say hello to Lin Kaixing.

Lin Kaixing took the initiative to say hello: "I've met my sister."

Lin Daiyu then gave Lin Kaixing a blessing ceremony: "I have met my brother."

Lin Ruhai said to Lin Daiyu: "Yu'er, from today on, Xing'er will live in our house. You two cousins ​​should get along well in the future."

Lin Daiyu was surprised when she heard this and thought, how could such a cousin suddenly live in our house? And her father called him "Xing'er", which was quite close to her? He also specifically asked her to follow him in the future.

Get along well?

Lin Ruhai was really amazed by Lin Kaixing's genius today, and he already had an idea in his mind. In the future, he should not only support Lin Kaixing well, but even train Lin Kaixing like a son.

Lin Ruhai felt a sense of crisis in his heart, thinking that as the salt censor of Huaihe River, he would probably not end well in the future. If something happened to him, he would feel more at ease if Lin Daiyu could have a cousin like Lin Kaixing to take care of her.
p>

That's why he wanted Lin Kaixing and Lin Daiyu to get along well.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was stunned and did not respond, Lin Ruhai said: "Did you hear what I said?"

Lin Daiyu could only nod: "My daughter heard it."

Even though she is still young, she is indeed a bit aloof. In addition, her mother Jia Min died of an illness this year, which has caused her to be very sad. She is already timid and sickly, but she has violated old symptoms, and she has not been able to follow her these days.

Jia Yucun is studying, and now he has no intention of getting along well with Lin Kaixing, a cousin with whom he was not close before.

However, Lin Ruhai spoke and Lin Kaixing stood at the scene again. Lin Daiyu could only respond superficially.

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Kaixing: "Xing'er, although you are my nephew, I will train you as my own son in the future. I hope you can get close to Yu'er. Yu'er may still need your care in the future."
p>

Lin Kaixing said respectfully: "My uncle thinks so highly of my nephew, and my nephew is flattered. Please rest assured, uncle, my nephew will get along well with his sister in the future. If he really has the ability to take care of his sister, he should do it."

Lin Ruhai smiled happily.

Lin Daiyu quietly glanced sideways at Lin Kaixing, disapproving of Lin Ruhai's words. With a father like Lin Ruhai, she didn't think that she would need Lin Kaixing to take care of her, and she didn't want such a cousin to take care of her.

Lin Ruhai looked at Aunt Wang: "Take Xing'er to your residence now and make sure you make good arrangements."

Aunt Wang said "yes", got up and left with Lin Kaixing.

Before Lin Daiyu came, Lin Ruhai had already told Aunt Wang to arrange a place for Lin Kaixing to live.

Aunt Wang, after Lin Kaixing left, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but ask Lin Ruhai: "Dad, why are you so kind to this cousin?"

Lin Ruhai immediately told Lin Daiyu about Lin Kaixing's situation.

Lin Daiyu was surprised again after hearing this.

Not only did this cousin write a poem as good as "Moss", but he also had supernatural powers? He could draw a full ten-power bow at a young age? Did he have the hope of achieving glory through martial arts?

She was surprised, but she didn't doubt Lin Ruhai's statement. She had seen the song "Moss" before, and it was indeed well written. She didn't think her father would trick her about such a thing.

……

……

Lin Ruhai had indeed planned to raise Lin Kaixing as a son, and since Lin Kaixing was a cousin and a young man, Lin Ruhai did not have many taboos about arranging a place for Lin Kaixing.

He asked Aunt Wang to free up a small courtyard on Neizhai East Road. Of course, it was separated from his concubine's residence and also from Lin Daiyu's residence.

Lin Ruhai also arranged three maids for Lin Kaixing, including a big maid and two rough maids.

The eldest maid is An Rong, whom Lin Kaixing met in Lin Ruhai's study today. She is quite pretty and a beauty.

An Rong is eighteen years old this year, three years older than Lin Kaixing. This girl was originally Jia Min's maid. After Jia Min's death, she followed Lin Ruhai to serve her. Now Lin Ruhai arranged to become Lin Kaixing's eldest maid.<

/p>

Lin Ruhai also asked Aunt Wang to pay Lin Kaixing two taels of silver a month.

Silver in this world is valuable, and two taels of silver a month is not a small amount.

Even Jia Baoyu and the ladies of Rongguo Mansion only receive two taels of silver per month, and the concubines of Rongguo Mansion also receive two taels of silver per month.

Lin Daiyu's monthly salary is twenty taels of silver. Aunt Wang's monthly salary was also twenty taels of silver before. It increased after she started taking charge of the house this year.

In Lin Ruhai's family, the monthly money is just equivalent to pocket money. In addition, there are inevitable rewards. As long as Lin Kaixing does not spend money recklessly and has Lin Ruhai's care, he can obtain a comfortable material life.

It has to be said that Lin Ruhai treated Lin Kaixing very well, which is not surprising. Not only because he appreciated Lin Kaixing and wanted to cultivate a big shot for the Lin family, but also because he was a person of good character.

In the original work, Jia Yucun only served as Lin Daiyu's tutor for one year, and received great favor from Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai asked Jia Zheng to take good care of Jia Yucun, and found connections to make Jia Yucun the prefect of Jinling Yingtian Prefecture.

Lin Ruhai let Jia Zheng cover all the expenses.

……

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Kaixing has lived in Yanzheng Yamen for more than a month, and the season has passed to the end of autumn.

For more than a month, Lin Kaixing would learn martial arts from Yang Feng almost every day, including the study of bow and horse skills and martial arts classics.

The martial arts examination is divided into the outer field of bowing and horsemanship and the inner field of strategy and martial arts.

The inner court's policy discussion on martial arts is a cultural class. The exams include one policy chapter and two essays. The policy topics are from "Sun Tzu", "Wu Zi", and "Sima Fa", and the thesis topics are only from "The Analects" and "Mencius"

, the difficulty of such a cultural test is indeed much easier than that of the literary examination.

Lin Ruhai, who was a top student in the civil examination, was naturally weak in the art of bow, horse, and bravery. He could not teach Lin Kaixing himself. Fortunately, he had a figure like Yang Feng beside him. Yang Feng was a martial arts examiner and almost passed the martial arts examination. As a

Lin Kaixing's first teacher in martial arts couldn't be better.

Over the past month or so, Lin Ruhai has taken time many times to personally teach Lin Kaixing's Strategy and Martial Arts.

At this time today, Lin Kaixing is practicing martial arts in a courtyard of his outer house. He is practicing "Dance with the Sword".

The broadsword dance is one of the bow and horse skills and courage tests. During the test, No. 3 long-pole swords will be prepared on site. The weights are eighty kilograms, one hundred kilograms, and one hundred and twenty kilograms. Candidates need to "break left and right"

"Knife over the top" and "Flowers dancing on the front and back breasts" to prevent the knife from falling to the ground.

Yanzheng Yamen does not have an eighty-pound long-stem sword. Even if it did, Yang Feng would not let Lin Kaixing practice with this weight now. Yang Feng specially bought a forty-pound long-stem sword for Lin Kaixing to practice.
p>

At the moment, Lin Kaixing is seen dancing the 40-pound long sword majestically. Whether it is "carrying the sword from left to right over the top" or "dancing flowers on the front and back breasts", he seems to be very handy. With the long sword in his hand, he is like a yamen servant.

We usually use short-handled broadswords that are not very heavy.

Yang Feng, who was standing aside, was already used to this scene.

He has already determined that the young man in front of him is indeed a prodigy with divine power, but he is poor at discussing martial arts and horseback riding and archery because of his poor skills. Being smart means being smart, and being diligent means being diligent.

Yang Feng believes that as long as Lin Kaixing continues to be diligent and studious, he has great hope of passing the martial arts examination and becoming a fierce general in the future.

If this is the case, Yang Feng will definitely be proud of you. He was Lin Kaixing's first teacher in martial arts. Teacher kindness is also an important kind of kindness in this era.

Lin Kaixing finished practicing a set of sword dance moves, and Yang Feng smiled and said: "Brother Xing, today's study ends here, it's almost dinner time."

Lin Kaixing clasped his fists: "Thank you for your hard work, Coach Yang."

Lin Kaixing already calls Yang Feng "coach."

Yang Feng smiled and said: "From tomorrow on, you have to focus on studying martial arts, horseback archery, and sword dancing. In two months, you will switch to practicing the sixty-jin weight."
