He has not seen his master for three years. He heard that the new master's wife has just given birth to the flesh and blood of the Lin family who can inherit the family business. Sister Lin, whom he is thinking about, has a biological brother who can take her place.
Supported.
The father at home was like an ant on a hot pot waiting for the court to release the results, but Mai Fan seemed to be fine and even planned to go to the dock to pick up his teacher in person.
Seeing this, Xue Jue was a little puzzled: "No, it's okay to leave such a matter to the servants. If you, a young master, ran to the dock, it really wouldn't be a problem."
Mai Fan shook his head. He naturally had his own little thoughts, but the words that came out of his mouth were high-sounding.
"Father, I consciously think that my results this time should be pretty good. If I get one of the top two rankings, it should be no problem."
"But if my estimate is wrong, then I will still need to prepare for the exam next year, and the next time it will be another three years."
"When that time comes, I can wait, but my sister is too young to wait."
"Our family has no intention of sending our daughter to the palace to serve others, let alone the idea of using our sister to gain a better background."
"Then if I fail the exam and our family is in such a mixed situation, how can my sister find a good family?"
"You won't go along with your mother's wishes and want my sister to marry Baoyu, right?"
"In his case, father, you have been in Beijing for more than three years, right? Do you think he is a good destination?"
"But if we don't find Baoyu, there will be no promising young people in our family in this capital."
"If I hadn't begged Master to take care of me at this time and asked my wife to help, I would have really made this precious girl of the Xue family suffer."
"One more thing, if I can pass the Jinshi examination this time, there will be one last tremor after the results are released."
"What was the situation during the imperial examination, and what is the current emperor's thinking?"
"I think if I can let the teacher help me clear up a few things, I can get a better result in the imperial examination."
"These two points alone are enough for me to go to the dock to greet you in person."
"Father, I know you are worried about my grades, but the current situation is that even if I stay at home all day long, I can't affect the final situation."
"I am his student in name only, and I am the only one. I am gone, and others can still say that I am sensible."
Okay, Xue Jue didn't know what he thought of, so he nodded and agreed.
After receiving Mr. Lin's boat at the dock, Lin Ruhai behaved much more normally than Xue Jue.
Over the years, he had privately exchanged letters with Mai Fan, and he also knew that this student not only wrote to him, but also sent a letter to his daughter.
This was to let him, the father, know that the two of them had no private relationship, and that it was a normal relationship on the surface.
In addition to letters, Mai Fan will also bring along some gadgets that the little girls in the capital like.
Sometimes it's a few clay dolls, sometimes it's a head flower that girls like. In short, it's not expensive, but it's full of love.
It was precisely because of Mai Fan's performance that Lin Ruhai's original thoughts became more and more powerful.
Now Mai Fan has passed the imperial examination. According to Lin Ruhai's hidden thoughts, he is eager for him to pass one more subject before passing.
If only three years had passed, Lin Daiyu would have been sixteen, which was a good time to get married. At that time, Mai Fan was only twenty-one, which was not too old for a man.
But now, Lin Ruhai looked at the man standing on the pier, who was as green as a cypress in the wind, and sighed...
I don’t know which one I’m going to get a bargain on… Heh heh heh? Something’s wrong, isn’t it?
Lin Ruhai watched as her daughter got off the boat and saw Mai Fan standing there smiling at her from a distance. Why were the foreheads and ears of these two people turning red?
Without him, they both look so good.
Lin Daiyu was only thirteen years old, and she hadn't started smoking yet.
But Mai Fan was just in his prime, tall and well-proportioned. He was wearing a light blue robe and a darker cloak of the same color, and his whole person had a scholarly air.
It was this gentle and gentle feeling that made Lin Daiyu blush when they suddenly met. She picked up the round fan at hand and gently covered half of her face, thus blocking her gaffe.
Lin Ruhai was even more tempted when she saw this.
He pretended not to notice, and let Mai Fan direct his servants to arrange the luggage and personnel of his group.
When they returned to the Lin Mansion, Lin Ruhai specially asked Mai Fan to go to the study.
After listening to Mai Fan's answer sheet this time, I knew it was time to reveal some things.
"If your article didn't violate taboos or deface the paper, it would definitely be in the top two lists."
"You came here this time to hear what I know about His Majesty today."
"Whatever his preferences are and what his writing style is, he should try to achieve better results in the palace examination."
"This is a good idea, but I also have an idea here. You can listen to it first."
"Don't worry, this is just a small wish of an old father. It will not affect the friendship between our teachers and students."
"Xue Pan, at your age, is there a woman you like outside?"
Mai Fan thought to himself, now that he is here, people in this world are good at everything, the only bad thing is that they are too reserved.
At this time, he could answer more straightforwardly, and Mai Fan replied in a particularly sincere manner: "Teacher, I don't have a favorite woman. You also know the age of the student. He has been studying since he was a child, and he is afraid that he will not be able to keep up with his peers.
schedule."
"You also know that I have no basis for willfulness and have serious shortcomings in my identity."
"The decisions my father made were actually closely related to whether I studied well or not, and my grades in the imperial examinations were closely related."
"In such a tense state, how could I be distracted and thinking about other things?"
"And I also have an excellent and transparent sister in my family. How can a woman from outside easily win my heart?"
"Teacher, to tell you the truth, it is my junior sister, the teacher's daughter, who has raised my standards for women even higher."
"After seeing a girl as talented as Sister Lin, how could I possibly like those mediocre women in the capital?"
"So, it is not good if the women around me are too good. This will increase my aesthetic requirements."
"But if you look at my current net worth, what kind of good woman can you find?"
"No, teacher, haven't you reminded me before, not to get married too early?
