Lin Jue paid close attention to the development of the matter. Although he did not attend the punishment of Lin Quan and his wife in the hall, the result soon spread throughout the Lin Mansion.
What Lin Jue didn't expect was that this incident would turn into a major event where Qian was directly expelled from the Lin family. Originally, Lin Jue thought that this incident would subject Lin Quan and his wife to severe family law punishment, instead of causing such a violent incident.
. You must know that divorce from the Qian family means being at odds with the Qian family's natal family, which will greatly affect the Lin family's business. Lin Boyong can decide this matter resolutely, which also shows that in Lin Boyong's heart, the Lin family's reputation is more important than anything else, and he will not hesitate to do so.
Turn against the Qian family.
Although the punishment was severe and the seriousness of the matter exceeded Lin Jue's imagination, Lin Jue did not regret planning this matter. From the standpoint of the Lin family, of course he did not want the Lin family and the Qian family to become enemies and affect the business cooperation between the two families.
But from a personal standpoint, Lin Jue had no sympathy for Lin Quan and the Qian family. Of course, Lin Quan brought it upon himself. The original plan was to discredit him, subject him to Lin Boyong's severe punishment, and even make him
She has lost Lin Boyong's respect. And Qian is not an economical person either. Lu Wu was tortured to death by her in her last life. This woman is vulgar and vicious. She is also very vicious to the maids and servants around her. She often beats and punishes her with sticks, which is the standard.
A poisonous woman. So being able to kick Qian out in one fell swoop was actually an unexpected blessing.
However, although the plan was a great success, Lin Jue still carefully observed the subsequent impact. Lin Jue knew that his plan actually had many flaws. He just covered up the clues that could be easily caught. If anyone really wants to pursue this matter,
I'm afraid we will still find some clues.
After careful observation for a few days, everything in the mansion was as usual. The big shock caused by Lin Quan and his wife also quickly subsided. At this time, Lin Jue felt a little relieved. The matter came to an end for the time being, and time flashed to the beginning of July.
Also shift the focus to the serious matter of reading.
After his last apprenticeship was successful, although the academy had not yet opened, Lin Jue took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the academy every few days to sort out the collection of books and copy classics for Fang Dunru. Fang Dunru did not refuse. However, in the blink of an eye, within six or seven days, he
But he didn't go to the academy. I was afraid that Fang Dunru would think that he was neglecting him.
In the early morning of the second day of July, the morning tea party in the back hall of the Lin family had just ended, and Lin Jue came in to ask to see Lin Boyong. Although Lin Boyong was stunned when he heard that Lin Jue asked to see him, he still asked him to come in and talk.
Lin Jue was still wearing a washed, discolored moon-white gown, with a simple appearance and a very calm expression. If Lin Boyong had seen his gentle and gentle appearance before, he might have been a little appreciative. But since listening to Huang Changqing's analysis
After what happened that day was probably Lin Jue's behind-the-scenes planning, Lin Boyong was no longer willing to use the image he saw to locate Lin Jue. If that incident was really Lin Jue's doing, the gentle young man in front of him would
What beats in my heart is the heart of a tiger or a wolf. I must not be deceived by him.
Of course, Lin Boyong would not express anything until the matter was verified. Not only would he not show suspicion, but he would be extremely gentle and kind.
"Lin Jue has met the head of the family." Lin Jue saluted respectfully.
"Lin Jue, what's the matter?" Lin Boyong asked with a smile.
"My nephew has something to report to the head of the family. It is what I reported to the head of the house last time. My nephew wants to study at Songshan Academy. Fang Daru of the academy has agreed to accept me as a disciple, so he came here to report to the head of the family. Although in August
The academy has just started, but my husband agreed that I can study with him now. So from today on, my nephew will officially go to study."
"Oh?" Lin Boyong opened his eyes in surprise and turned to look at Huang Changqing, who was standing aside and listening. From Huang Changqing's eyes, Lin Boyong also saw surprise.
Lin Jue said last time that he wanted to take Fang Dunru as his teacher and came to plead with him. Although Lin Boyong agreed at the time, he and Huang Changqing and others also discussed the matter in private. They all believed that the matter would not succeed. Fang Dunru
Although he is a world-famous Confucian, he is not the kind of person with a gentle temperament and aloof from the world. On the contrary, this person is extremely stubborn and strong. When he was an official in the court, he had a reputation for being upright. However,
However, due to disagreements with his political views, he had quarrels with his colleagues and even the late emperor, and angrily resigned and returned home. Officials throughout the court were astonished, and the late emperor personally tried to persuade him but failed to persuade him to stay, which is evident from this.
In Hangzhou, this person is also the one who least gives face to officials. I heard that among the southeastern officials, he only has some friendship with Yan Zhengsheng, the prefect of Hangzhou, and he does not give face to other officials, no matter how big or small. I remember that the Lin family wanted to improve the prestige of their family education and the family
Because of his reputation, Huang Changqing overestimated his ability and wanted to hire him as the headmaster of his family school with a large sum of money. As a result, Huang Changqing was rejected without even seeing him in person, and he became a laughing stock for a time.
Songshan Academy presided over by Fang Dunru is also the most difficult academy for students to enter. The academy only admits more than a hundred students, but tens of thousands of students from all over the Zhou Dynasty compete for admission, which shows how famous the academy is. This is of course also because of Fang Dunru.
For this reason, Fang Dunru's famous works such as "The Theory of Heaven", "The Theory of Sages" and "The Theory of Self-cultivation" were once regarded as classics by famous scholars in the Zhou Dynasty. They were unique in their own school and had unique viewpoints, so they became the objects of respect among literati all over the world. However,
He was too stubborn and unconventional, but he also had many enemies. However, no matter what, when Fang Dunru was mentioned, people all over the world stood in awe and sighed that he was not tactful enough.
It is really incredible that such a great scholar of the world, Lin Jue, could actually become his disciple.
"Is this true? Does Fang Dunru really accept you as his disciple?"
"The report to the head of the family is absolutely true. How dare my nephew lie about such things."
"Then...does Fang Dunru know that you are a descendant of my Lin family?"
"I know. My husband also mentioned a past incident. It is said that Butler Huang invited him to teach at the private school..."
Huang Changqing blushed and said, "This is indeed the case."
Lin Boyong said with a smile: "I didn't expect Fang Daru to still remember this. That's because my Lin family has overestimated its capabilities. But this Fang Daru is extremely strict in accepting disciples. There are very few people who become his disciples. How could he agree to accept you into his family?"
Where is the door?"
Lin Jue sneered in his heart, Lin Boyong's words actually meant: How could you be so lucky?
"My nephew doesn't know the reason. Maybe he stepped on a piece of dog poop on the road before going to see him that day, so he got lucky." Lin Jue chuckled.
Lin Boyong laughed loudly and said: "Good thing, good thing. Regardless of whether it is shit luck or not, it is a great thing for you to study under him at Songshan Academy. This is the honor of my Lin family, and it is the first time it has ever happened. You should always serve me
It’s around him. This matter should be brought out and publicized. Not only should the children of the clan know about it, but also let outsiders know about it.”
Lin Jue smiled and said: "It's better not to publicize it. If my husband finds out, he will think that I am feeling complacent in his name. If I make him unhappy and kick me out of the door, won't my work be in vain?
Already."
Lin Boyong stroked his beard and smiled and said: "I see, that's all. However, it is still necessary to encourage the disciples internally. By the way, you go to study outside, and you are studying under a great Confucian scholar. As a descendant of the Lin family, you must not lose your etiquette.
Don’t pay too much for your daily expenses, and don’t make people think that the Lin family is stingy. Hmm…how much is the monthly fee in your room now?”
"Go home, Master, twenty taels."
"Twenty taels? It's a little less. Of course it's enough to study at home, but I'm afraid it won't be enough to serve the great scholar and study at Songshan Academy. Let's do this, add ten taels of silver every month. Changqing, what do you think?"
Huang Changqing kept frowning. He didn't expect that the head of the family would be so happy about this incident. He even forgot that Lin Jue was the mastermind behind the incident a few days ago.
"Family owner, you can adjust it if you want, but the monthly rate for each room has been fixed. Adding one more room to the monthly rate may cause criticism. If you want to increase it, it should be added next year."
Lin Boyong frowned and wanted to speak, but Lin Jue took the initiative to speak.
"Master, my nephew still has some savings on hand, so there is no need to embarrass the housekeeper. Besides, my husband is a frugal person and does not like luxury. He will never accept gifts, so there is no need to do so."
"That's it. That's it for now. But if you need help from the family, just come and tell me. You are the Lin family. Keep this in mind at all times. You must not embarrass the Lin family. Do you understand?"
"My nephew understands. Well... what the head of the family said, my nephew remembered something. My husband and his wife lived in the back hill of the academy. They lived in poverty. Many things needed to be done by oneself, which was very hard. Giving gifts or
Sending money would definitely be rejected. I thought it might be a good idea to have someone to help them take care of the housework. Unfortunately, there was only one little maid, Lu Wu, in my room. I took her with me.
There is no one to take care of the courtyard. I recently hired a boy to help run errands, but he can’t do housework. If... the head of the family allows it, can you allocate someone so that I can take one to the mountain academy?
One of them is left to work at home."
"Isn't this easy? Just hire another one. Isn't it easy to hire someone? Chang Qing, let someone go outside and hire someone with smart hands and feet to come to Lin Juefang."
Before Huang Changqing could speak, Lin Jue hurriedly said: "There's no need to hire another one. There are so many people in the house, so there is no need to hire another one. There have been some changes in the third house recently. Aren't there a few maids in my brother's house? The Qian family has returned.
I don’t need that much in my aunt’s room, so I’ll transfer one here. I know there’s a girl named Qiurong, who’s really good with her hands and feet, so why not just let her come, and I’ll take her to the mountain to serve Mr. and Mrs. That’s it.
If you can save money, hire people and pay another amount of money. Although our Lin family has a large fortune, we should save money when we can, which is also the way to run a family."
Lin Boyong laughed loudly, pointed his finger and praised: "I didn't expect that I, Lin Boyong, would let you teach me how to be frugal and run a house. Forget it, I'll just do what you want. That Qiurong will go to your room."
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him. In fact, the main reason why he came to see Lin Boyong today was for this matter. On the one hand, he wanted to fulfill his promise to rescue Qiu Rong, and on the other hand, he also wanted to perfect the loopholes in the plan to deal with Lin Quan. The biggest
The loophole is actually Qiu Rong. If he finds out that Qiu Rong revealed that Lin Quan kept a prostitute, Lin Jue thinks that Qiu Rong cannot keep the secret, and Lu Wu will definitely be involved. Then he will have to
He has torn himself out. It is very necessary to get Qiurong out as early as possible and send Qiurong out of the house as early as possible. Lin Jue has already thought about it. Let Qiurong leave the Lin family quickly. It is best to let Qiurong leave.
Going to the countryside in Hangzhou closed this loophole. As for the reason, it was very simple. He said Qiurong was lazy and was kicked out by himself.
