Huang Changqing hurriedly said: "Others are just trivial matters. Well...the matter of inviting teachers to the private school...it will probably take another three or two days. I have invited several well-known scholars from Shaoxing this time, hoping to change the private school."
The atmosphere..."
Lin Boyong frowned, waved his hand and said: "You can make up your mind on this matter. Just ask your husband to bring it to me to see you."
"Yes." Huang Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Boyong stood up and was about to wave his hands for everyone to disperse. Suddenly, a servant poked his head in front of the flower hall door. It was the man who guarded the entrance of the hanging door. Huang Changqing hurriedly came to the door and raised his chest and shouted: "What's the matter?"
"Butler Huang, Mr. Lin Jue from the third room wants to see the head of the family, so he is standing at the round entrance of the third room."
"Lin Jue?" Huang Changqing's face turned gloomy.
Lin Boyong asked from behind: "What's going on?"
Huang Changqing turned around and said with a smile, "Oh, it's Mr. Lin Jue from the third room who wants to see the head of the family. Can you see him, head of the house?"
"Lin Jue? What brings him here? Ask him to come in." Lin Boyong frowned.
Huang Changqing agreed repeatedly, and a servant went to usher the people in. Several young masters had already planned to get up and leave, but when they heard Lin Jue asked to see him, they all sat down again. They also wanted to know what Lin Jue was doing here.
Lin Jue, neatly dressed in a moon-white gown, appeared on the steps in front of the hall. Although they were ordinary clothes, when worn on Lin Jue, and matched with his figure and handsome face, he looked better than someone who was extremely dressed in brocade clothes.
The young master is much more calm and calm.
"Lin Jue has met the head of the family. He has met several brothers. He has met Butler Huang." Lin Jue saluted everyone one by one. He was actually a little surprised. He thought he was just meeting the head of the house, but he didn't expect that all the big guys were in the hall.
It was a little caught off guard.
Lin Boyong stroked his beard and nodded: "Lin Jue, are you okay?"
Now that things have happened, Lin Jue can only tell the purpose of coming here according to the plan. He can't just admit it and make the trip in vain.
"I would like to report to the head of the family that my nephew wants to ask for permission from the head of the family for something."
"Whatever it is, you just say it."
"I would like to report to the head of the family, my nephew... my nephew wants to study in an academy outside."
Lin Boyong was stunned and said: "What do you mean by going to an academy outside? You don't want to study at home?"
Lin Jue nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean."
Lin Boyong's face darkened and he frowned: "Lin Jue, do you think the private school is not good?"
"Nowadays, he is full of knowledge and dislikes that our school is too small to accommodate a big shot like him." Lin Quan, who was standing nearby, said sarcastically. Lin Ke, Lin Song and others laughed.
Lin Jue's face was calm and he didn't speak. Lin Boyong frowned and said: "Butler Huang has invited Da Ru to teach at the school, and he will be in place in a few days. Xu Zimao has been dismissed, you don't need to worry about Xu Zimao."
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "My nephew is not doing it because of Mr. Xu. My nephew is determined to pass the imperial examination, and he has spent a lot of thought on this. This is not a boast, my nephew should learn the books he should memorize.
I also try my best to memorize and memorize. But you can't pass the imperial examination just by memorizing the books. Reading requires a lot of understanding, and you must understand the principles in the books. The principles in the articles and the countermeasures in the policy discussions. This is
None of them can be improved by rote memorization. So my nephew wanted to improve his ability in this area. I heard people say that Fang Dunru of Songshan Academy is a great scholar today, and his students have repeatedly passed high school and some have served in the court.
He is a high-ranking official. He must be very knowledgeable in this area, so my nephew thought that going to Songshan Academy to study with this old gentleman might be of great help to my nephew's future."
Lin Boyong looked at Lin Jue blankly, he was a little surprised. Lin Boyong actually believed that Lin Jue could say these words. There are so many scholars in the world, but most of them lose their names every time they take the imperial examination. 1
On the one hand, the number of scholars in the imperial court is limited, but on the other hand, it must be because of poor academic performance. In terms of academics, if you can pass high school by memorizing books by heart, I am afraid that all the hard-working students in the world can do it. Today, when recruiting scholars in the imperial court, it is necessary
What counts is not a scholar who is familiar with the back of books, but is a mess in writing articles, poems, and strategies. Familiarity with books is only a foundation. Writing articles and poems well requires not only talent but also the guidance of famous teachers.
My second brother Lin Bonian once talked about this truth with me. And what Lin Jue said now was exactly what Lin Bonian meant. On that day in the court training, Lin Jue's performance was surprising, but for
For Lin Boyong, it was not too amazing, it could only be regarded as a surprise. Because Lin Boyong knew that no matter how many books he read and how well he memorized, he might not be able to pass the imperial examination.
"Songshan Academy is not easy to enter, and it is even more difficult to enter under Fang Daru's seat. It is not something you can enter just because you want to." Lin Boyong said thoughtfully.
"This little nephew understands in his heart that he just asked the head of the family for permission in advance. If he can enter, he will go in. If he can't enter Songshan Academy, it means that my nephew is not good enough. But he always has to give it a try before he is willing to accept it."
"What are you talking about? Are you a private school teacher who can leave and come whenever you want? What do you think of a private school? You can't enter Songshan Academy, but the private school won't accept you." Lin Ke said coldly.
"It's just that it's not good to dislike the private school. If you can't climb the high branches, there's no need to come back. Besides, the children of the Lin family are all studying in the private school, and you have to run out to study. What do others think? Everyone can imitate you, and the private school can't be run.
Done?" Lin Song agreed.
Lin Jue didn't say anything. He didn't have to argue with them. He only needed to get the approval of the family head. Lin Boyong should understand the truth. His own goal was to pass the imperial examination, which did not violate Lin Boyong's original intention.
Lin Boyong thought for a while, turned to look at Huang Changqing and said: "Changqing, what do you think about this matter?"
Lin Jue sighed secretly and thought: It seems that this matter has gone to waste, Huang Changqing will definitely stop it.
However, what Huang Changqing said surprised everyone.
"Master, since Mr. Lin Jue has this ambition, I think we should encourage him. Songshan Academy is the best academy in Hangzhou. There are many high school students in each subject, and Fang Daru is a famous university today.
There are famous people all over the world. If you can get his guidance, you will definitely improve your studies. If you have this ambition, you should allow him to give it a try. Even if he fails, he can just go back to school."
"Oh? Is that what you think?" Lin Boyong smiled.
"Of course, Mr. Lin Jue has great ambitions at a young age, so the head of the family will naturally encourage him. However, the family has family rules. Mr. Lin Jue must understand that the family school is for the convenience of the children of the clan. If you do not study in it, you will not be able to enjoy preferential treatment. Moreover,
Studying in an academy abroad is very expensive, and the house will not make an exception to subsidize you with money. I must make this clear."
Lin Jue nodded hurriedly and said: "That's natural. I asked, and the monthly income in my room is enough to study in the academy. I won't ask for a tael of silver from the clan."
Lin Boyong nodded and said: "That's good. In that case, I promise you. But even if you are studying in an academy outside, you must remember that you are a member of my Lin family, and you are not allowed to go out of line in anything you say or do. Let you go out.
Studying is not for you to have fun and have fun."
"My nephew, please remember. Many thanks to the family master. My nephew is retiring." Lin Jue bowed his hands and bowed, and quickly exited. It was unexpected that this matter went so smoothly today. Huang Changqing's opinions have a great influence on the family master, and he was present today.
He actually didn't make things difficult to oppose, which was even more expected.
After the morning tea meeting ended, several gentlemen left to do their own business. Huang Changqing arranged for the entourage of carriages and horses to send Lin Boyong to work outside. When he turned back and just entered the courtyard, Lin Quan rushed out, pulling Huang Changqing to the corner and licking his head.
It's just complaining.
"Uncle Changqing, have you lost your mind? Why are you still talking to that kid? Why did you agree to let him go out to study? He is quite carefree."
Huang Changqing laughed and said: "You, you, don't think too much. I'm just helping you."
"Help!" Lin Quan said angrily.
"Hey! The head of the family is actually ready to agree. I'm just going with the flow. Besides, it's a good thing to let Lin Jue go to study."
"What a fart!"
"Listen to me. Let me tell you, my people have been tracking some clues yesterday. Lin felt that he seemed to be coming and going from the brothel and the red boat."
"What? Seriously? Why don't you report it to the head of the family and teach him a lesson?" Lin Quan shouted.
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? There is no conclusive evidence to prove that he is obsessed with this. It may not be possible to alert the snake in the grass. As you can see, that kid is quite capable of refuting. Only by catching him in action can he be able to make no excuses. Today I
The reason why the head of the family is suggested to let him go out to study is just to give him more leverage. Think about it, if he stays in the house all day, what kind of leverage can he get? The only way is to allow him to go out to study and stay outside every day.
Wandering, there are more temptations in the colorful world, right?"
"Oh, so that's what you meant... I might have misunderstood." Lin Quan opened his mouth wide and said.
Huang Changqing rolled his eyes and continued in a low voice: "Can't I still help him? Besides, I suspect that he suddenly proposed to study outside because he had other ideas. Yesterday he got off a red boat and must have eaten marrow.
He got the idea, so he asked to study outside so that he could have more opportunities to run away and be happy. If we comply with his wishes, wouldn't we have more chances to catch him?"
"High, really high." Lin Quan raised his thumb and praised in a low voice.
The two looked at each other and Jie Jie laughed strangely.
