There were not many affairs in the Lin family, and they could be solved in an hour every day. The usual amount of free time made her feel panicked, so teaching Yingchun was not a trouble, but it gave her something to do.
Besides, Daiyu also needs to start learning about middle school education. It’s okay for two girls to teach together. It won’t take much effort, but it can make Jia Min’s life fulfilling.
"Seeing as you are living a leisurely life, you might as well set up a girls' school and enroll all the girls from your relatives as students. Maybe my sister will become famous in the capital in the future!"
Seeing that Jia Min was in high spirits, the elder couldn't help but joke.
"I'd be happy to!"
Jia Min curled her lips and said disdainfully: "I'm just afraid that the government won't agree!"
This statement actually means something. Who else could it be besides Mrs. Wang?
"Then let's talk to the government!"
The elder said seriously: "I haven't been back to my house very often recently, but I also know that the girls in my house have good qualifications. It's a pity that I was delayed by the old lady!"
A good young lady was dragged to play with Jia Baoyu. Their qualifications were really wasted.
Fortunately for Xue Baochai, the current situation of the Xue family is basically that she is the head of the family. After practicing for such a long time, and she is already very smart, she has actually managed the Xue family's property, which has declined greatly, in an orderly manner without causing any problems.
trouble.
This is remarkable. As the saying goes, "It is easier to conquer a country than to defend it." Naturally, the Xue family is not qualified to talk about "conquering a country" at the moment. Whether they can hold on to the property they can control is the key.
Xue Baochai's role is very obvious. Although it is difficult for her daughter's family to come forward in person, through her careful management, the original decline of the Xue family has slowly slowed down, and the Xue family's foundation is enough to support it for a longer period of time.
It's just a pity that the circle of Rongguofu is still too small. During the most critical period of its growth, it has been nestled in the small circle of Rongguofu, and its knowledge and methods are inferior.
Unless she can get rid of the circle of Rongguofu and enter a higher-level circle in the future, her achievements in life will be limited. After all, her daughter's body has too many limitations, and even her heroic spirit will be useless.
If Xue Baochai still has a chance to be promoted to a higher-level circle, Tan Chun and Shi Xiangyun are really miserable.
Tanchun's temperament is strong but also smart. She knows how to watch people's emotions and is a good candidate for a strong woman. However, it is a pity that her future happiness is in the hands of Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang's temperament does not squeeze out all the last use value of her. She can't escape even if she wants to.
Disaster.
Because of Jia Huan's incident, Mrs. Wang was already very unhappy. How could she let Tan Chun come to Lin Mansion to receive Jia Min's teachings?
In her eyes, Tanchun is just a tool to show "virtue", and its biggest role is to accompany Jia Baoyu to make people laugh. As for Tanchun's own fate, it is not within the scope of Mrs. Wang's consideration at all.
The conditions and environment strictly limit Tanchun's growth space. Unless Mr. Zheng forcibly intervenes, he can only wait to get married and then slowly work hard. Don't expect to get ahead while in Rongguo Mansion.
But Shi Xiangyun is a typical representative of seeking death by himself.
It is said that as an orphan of a noble family, she should be sensitive and very measured. Unfortunately, I don’t know if she was misled by the old lady and the unreliable servant of the Rong Mansion. Not only did she give birth to two nobles of the Shi family,
He even expressed his resentment often without any restraint.
With the sieve-like tone of voice of the servants of the Rongguo Mansion, it would be damning if the two princes of the Shi family didn't know.
It's just that the two marquises of the Shi family will not care about her, but the two marquises and their wives will naturally not treat her as one of their own. Who is Shi Xiangyun's temperament?
She was obsessed with envying the wealth and splendor of Rongguo Mansion, and hung out with Jia Baoyu all day long. She didn't know who guided her to the point of falling into a state of confusion, thinking that she might have a chance to become Mrs. Baoyu.
This person has a somewhat unpleasant temperament, and Jia Min is willing to teach her some knowledge about being a housewife, but she is probably not very willing to do so herself.
…
"Okay, let's give it a try!"
Jia Min has met a number of girls from her relatives. She thinks these girls are very good. Not only are they good-looking, but they also have their own characteristics and potential for growth.
She doesn't mind teaching her, since she has nothing to do.
It's just a pity that Jia Min conveyed her thoughts to Rongguo Mansion, but in the end it turned out to be a mess without causing any waves, as if there was no such thing at all.
"It's too much!"
Jia Min couldn't wait for a reply, and she was furious. When the old man came to visit, she said angrily: "It seems that the government doesn't like me as a married aunt!"
"How can such a thing happen!"
The elder said indifferently: "Since they are not happy, then don't pay attention to the government's ideas!"
Needless to say, this matter must have been done by Mrs. Wang. Maybe the old lady also had a hand in it secretly.
There is no need to doubt that the old lady completely regards Tanchun and Xue Baochai as beings for teasing Menzi. How could she send away the usual candidates for teasing Menzi for the sake of the future of these two girls?
As for Shi Xiangyun, he hasn't been to Rongfu recently, so he probably doesn't even know the news.
The elder brought Xichun, who was living with Jia Rong and Qin Keqing, to Jia Min to educate her, and at the same time learn some knowledge that women in the boudoir should learn.
Qin Keqing is pregnant, and Xichun's seniority makes it difficult to keep her by her side. Besides, there is an upbringing issue, and Qin Keqing cannot bear the responsibility.
It just so happened that Jia Min wanted to teach Yingchun and Daiyu, so there was no problem in bringing Xichun along. It just happened to be a good idea for several sisters to learn and grow together. The Lin family was not short of houses and money, so adding Xichun was no big deal. Jia Min happily
Agree.
The reason why Xichun was sent here was not only to keep Qin Keqing with Xichun if she was not pregnant, but also to avoid trouble.
Jia Rong had mentioned to the elder before that the old lady had always wanted to take Xichun back home to educate her. This made Jia Rong very embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
Ordinarily, as an old lady, there is no problem in educating Xichun, and Xichun can even get a lot of benefits. After all, the reputation of being educated by the Duke's wife is quite marketable.
It's just that Jia Rong is not a fool. When he was fooling around with his father Jia Zhen before, he knew a lot about some things in the Rongguo Mansion, even more than the eldest master and Lian Er knew.
Although Jia Zhen is a bit of a bastard, her brain is definitely the smartest among the adult men in Ning Rong's second house, and she is much stronger than the original elder.
In terms of mobility alone, it is quite an incredible skill for this guy to be able to talk to Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the palace.
If he hadn't wanted to make progress and only cared for pleasure, with his ability, he should have been able to do quite well in the officialdom, at least much better than Lian Er.
According to Jia Rong's own words, when Jia Zhen was still fooling around in Ningguo Mansion, she accidentally revealed to him that the old lady in Xi Mansion was a powerful character, and her intention to control the Jia family was obvious. If not for his usual behavior
They are respectful enough. If the two cousins were not very capable, I am afraid that the position of patriarch would have been taken away long ago.
Although he didn't say it clearly, Jia Rong still heard the deep meaning of his father Jia Zhen's words: Beware of the old lady of Xifu!
After working as an official in Tongzhou for several years and seeing people become more sophisticated, I became even more wary of the old lady.
He did not hesitate to tell the elder about this, and finally expressed his unwillingness to leave his little aunt to the old lady's upbringing, hoping that the elder could help solve the problem.
Then, Xichun was sent to the Lin Mansion to be educated by Jia Min.
Although in terms of reputation, she may be much less well-educated than the super-class Duke's wife, Jia Min will teach Xichun real and useful knowledge, instead of being placed in front of the old lady and being used as a tool to amuse her.
.
In the original work of Red Mansions, Sanchun was a very talented girl, but the Rongguo Mansion did not spend any thought or energy on cultivating them, but even so, they all developed their own unique advantages.
In addition, Yuanchun corresponds to Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although he has such a good talent, he pins all his hopes on Yuanchun who enters the palace. I wonder where the old lady's shrewdness has gone?
If Yingchun and Tanchun were to marry well, it would be a great help to the Rongguo Mansion. At least in the most difficult times, they would be able to keep them from falling completely.
Of course, these are all things that happened in the original work. With the great master, such a tragedy will naturally not happen again. At most, the title and official position will be lost. It is impossible to want to make it worse.
Apart from other things, Yingchun's martial arts skills are quite good at this time. No ordinary big man is her opponent. If she encounters a bastard like Sun Shaozu again, let's see who can defeat whom in the end!
After handing over Yingchun and Xichun to Jia Min for instruction, the eldest master set his sights on Jia clan studies.
The younger brothers Jia Cong and Lin Duan entered the family studies at the same time under the arrangement of the eldest master. Lin Duan, shouldering the tradition of the Lin family, naturally went to a school specializing in the imperial examination of the Four Books and Five Classics.
Jia Cong, on the other hand, entered the Baigong School and the Martial Arts School under the special arrangement of the eldest master. He did not take the saying that "everything is inferior but only good at studying" seriously.
With the elder's current status, it will be quite easy for Jia Cong to enter the officialdom in the future, and there is no need to fight for the rare imperial examination quota with the children from poor families. It will be over if he can pass the examination, and the elder has no intention of letting this kid continue to take the exam.
On the contrary, it would be more useful for him to understand the various skills early and develop powerful martial arts at the same time, which he might be able to use when he enters the officialdom in the future.
Looking at the entire Da Qi court, almost all liberal arts officials have nothing to say about their words and pens, but when it comes to their specific ability to do things, there is no need to expect it without going through many tests.
The elder doesn't want his son to become a talkative waste. He should cultivate his ability to do things since he was a child, broaden his horizons and way of thinking, and he will benefit from it when he grows up!
