Chapter 74 The Red Mansion
After Lin Huaiyu simulated the provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination, Ye Wenfu tailored a detailed and comprehensive study plan for him.
Before formally entering the "important" learning task, Ye Wenfu first explained to him the examination papers of the provincial examination, general examination and palace examination in great detail.
Although Lin Huaiyu noticed his own shortcomings during the mock exam, he still didn't understand his own shortcomings enough.After listening to Ye Wenfu's explanation of the examination papers, he thoroughly understood where his shortcomings were.
Ye Wenfu not only explained all the examination papers to Lin Huaiyu in detail, but also showed him the answers of the candidates who did well in the previous examination.By seeing the content of other people's answers, Lin Huaiyu also deeply discovered the gap between himself and others.
After Ye Wenfu explained all the exam questions to Lin Huaiyu, Lin Huaiyu re-did the exam questions that he did not do well before.This is not what Ye Wenfu requested, it is what he wants to do.
When he was a student, he liked to sort out the topics he missed.He will always rewrite the topics he missed, and he will take them out to rewrite every once in a while. This will not only deepen the impression, but also avoid making mistakes on the same type of topics again.
Lin Huaiyu followed Ye Wenfu's class every day until the end of Haishi in the evening. When he returned to his room, he would enter the library provided by the system to study.
The library in the system is a real library, and there are various books in it.Among them, many books were collected by the Lin Huaiyu Gang before.
In addition to not worrying about the passage of time, there are many advantages to studying in the library of the system.For example, the books in the library can be read at will.There are many kinds of books placed in the library, including many books from ancient and modern China and foreign countries.
In the words of the system, the books in its library are definitely the most in the world, and it is also the most diverse.
When studying in the library, the spirit will become highly concentrated unconsciously, and no matter how long Lin Huaiyu studies, he will not feel any fatigue.Even if he studies in the library for a year, he will not feel tired.
In addition to being highly concentrated, the brain will also become very clear.Of course, the library has no ability to increase the IQ of the host.However, Lin Huaiyu doesn't need a library to help him improve his IQ.
After Lin Huaiyu redid all the wrong questions in the previous exam papers, she showed them to Ye Wenfu.
"You did it again?" Ye Wenfu looked surprised, he didn't expect Lin Huaiyu to redo all the wrong questions in the previous exam papers.
Lin Huaiyu nodded slightly: "Well, after listening to your explanation, I have a new understanding, so I decided to do it again and let you see how it works."
"Okay, I'll take a look."
"Then you see, I will continue to read the scriptures." Lin Huaiyu found that his biggest shortcoming was that he did not understand the scriptures well enough.He decided to smash Jingyi to the end.
Ye Wenfu reviewed Lin Huaiyu's answers again, and found that he had made great progress, especially the exam questions.Before, when Lin Huaiyu mocked the exam, the exam questions were messed up, and she didn't understand the meaning of the exam questions at all.However, now he can not only understand the theme of the exam questions well, but also understand it very deeply.Of course, it has not yet reached the point of thorough understanding.
Let's put it this way, Lin Huaiyu's comprehension was only one point in the mock test.After Ye Wenfu's detailed explanation, Lin Huaiyu's comprehension increased from one point to six points.Although there was still four points left, Ye Wenfu felt that with Lin Huaiyu's intelligence and savvy, he would soon be able to comprehend the remaining four points of comprehension.
"How do you remember to do the exam questions that you got wrong before?"
"I didn't answer well before, but now that I understand a little, I naturally have to do it again." For Lin Huaiyu, the collection of wrong questions is a treasure, "After a while, I will take out these wrong questions and do it again, so that I can I can know more clearly where my shortcomings are, and at the same time, I can see my progress more clearly. If I encounter similar problems in the future, I will not make mistakes again."
After Ye Wenfu heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Your method is not bad." Brother Huai is not only smart and spiritual, but also very serious and hardworking. More importantly, he has his own way of learning.No one could figure out the way he said to keep doing wrong questions. "How do you feel about yourself now?"
"Improved." Lin Huaiyu was very clear about her own cognition, "However, it has not reached the point of thoroughness yet."
Regarding Lin Huaiyu's progress, Ye Wenfu praised without hesitation: "I have made great progress, faster than I imagined." He knew that Brother Huai's talent was good, as long as he was pushed, he could improve.It's just that he didn't expect the child's progress to be so rapid. "Are you confident now?"
Lin Huaiyu smiled and said, "Yes." After finishing speaking, he patted Ye Wenfu's flattery, "The main reason is that you are a good teacher." It's much worse than that.Mr. Lu's explanation is not as deep as that of his adoptive father.
Although the righteous father's explanation was very deep, it was not incomprehensible.During this period of time, I followed my adoptive father to study "The Analects of Confucius" again, which seemed to open up a new world.He discovered that there were other meanings behind the "Analects of Confucius", which he could not think of.
Ye Wenfu snorted arrogantly: "I told you that I will teach you, you will definitely be able to pass the entrance examination for three yuan."
"Father is amazing." Lin Huaiyu admired Ye Wenfu's knowledge very much.
"Stop flattering, let's continue." Lin Huaiyu made such rapid progress, which made Ye Wenfu full of energy.
"Okay." During the mock exam before, Lin Huaiyu didn't have much confidence in himself, but after studying for this period of time, he regained his confidence and felt that he could still make it to the top three.Of course, apart from Ye Wenfu's good teaching, the main thing is that studying in the system's library played a role.
If he knew that the efficiency of studying in the library was so high, he should have opened the library from the beginning.He thought he didn't need the function of the library before, but now it seems that he is stupid.
At Haishi, Mrs. Ye and Xiao Daiyu came to the study with freshly boiled goat milk and supper.The teaching activities between Ye Wenfu and Lin Huaiyu just ended.
Lin Huaiyu didn't have the habit of eating late at night, and only drank a bowl of goat milk every night.
Ye Wenfu ate the supper.If he doesn't eat something at night, he will wake up hungry in the middle of sleep.
"Brother Huai, after drinking the goat's milk, hurry up to wash up and go to rest." Mrs. Ye felt sorry for Lin Huaiyu who didn't finish studying until so late every night.She has been worried that Lin Huaiyu's body will not be able to bear it, so she changes ways to nourish Lin Huaiyu's body and mind every day.Not only that, she also arranged for the doctor to feel Lin Huaiyu's pulse every once in a while.
"Okay, I'll go back to my room now." After Lin Huaiyu finished speaking, he reached out and touched his sister's little head, "Didn't I tell you that you don't need to bring me goat milk at night?"
"Brother, it's nothing." Xiao Daiyu said with a smile, "Besides, I didn't sleep either."
Lin Huaiyu reached out and pinched her younger sister's face, "It's better for a girl to go to bed early if she wants to be beautiful. Don't give me goat milk in the future, go to bed early."
"Brother, I'm already pretty, and I don't need to be any more."
"Are you as beautiful as me?"
Xiao Daiyu was taken aback by this question, and then she whispered, "No."
"Not as pretty as me, how dare you say that you are pretty enough." Lin Huaiyu reached out and touched his sister's forehead, "You are not pretty enough, so go to bed early at night."
Xiao Daiyu felt that what her brother said was right, but she also felt that what she said was wrong.She wanted to refute, but she couldn't, because she was really not as beautiful as her brother.
"I see, brother." I couldn't talk about my brother, so I could only listen to my brother.
"Now that you know, why don't you go back to your room and sleep quickly."
"Brother, you should go back to your room quickly."
Lin Huaiyu went back to the room after talking to Ye Wenfu and the others.After taking a shower, enter the library in the system to study.
After studying in the library for several hours, I fell asleep in the library.After waking up, keep studying.In the library, you don't have to worry about the passing of time outside, so you can stay in the library as long as you want.
Lin Huaiyu didn't just study the Four Books and Five Classics in the library, he also practiced calligraphy and painting.Not only that, but he also read other books in the library, learning things he had never learned before.
Early the next morning, Ye Wenfu went to the palace to go to court after breakfast.
During this period of time, the court was very calm on the surface, but it was turbulent behind the scenes.
The ministers are all good people, and they have long noticed the unusually quiet atmosphere in the court hall during this period, so during this period, the ministers are very honest, and even the censors did not give advice as usual.
After leaving court, Ye Wenfu and Song Xiuwen were called to the imperial study.
Emperor Qinglong showed them the secret security sent by Lin Ruhai, "Take a look."
Ye Wenfu and Song Xiuwen opened the secret security and only saw the first part of the content. They were shocked, and their faces were full of disbelief.
"Your Majesty, this... is too lawless..." Although I knew that the people in Prince Li's faction were rampant, I didn't expect it to be so arrogant.
With a bang, Emperor Qinglong put the teacup on the table vigorously.I saw his face was gloomy, and his eyes were cold and stern: "I really underestimated them."
Song Xiuwen frowned and said, "Jiangnan is simply Prince Li's back garden."
"I really underestimated the second brother. I never thought that when he was the crown prince, he colluded so deeply with the officials in Jiangnan."
Quan Dehai, who was waiting at the side, felt the murderous aura emanating from Emperor Qinglong, and was so frightened that he dared not breathe.
"Back then, when Prince Li was the crown prince, he was very close to the officials in Jiangnan. The officials in Jiangnan gave Prince Li a lot of money every year, and sometimes they gave tribute directly. The first emperor knew it all the time, but he just turned a blind eye. eye." Song Xiuwen was very disapproving of the late emperor's behavior of turning a blind eye. "Because of this, Prince Li's appetite and ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. Otherwise, he won't be able to..." Song Xiuwen didn't say any more.
"Your Majesty, are you going to clean Jiangnan's officialdom this time?" Jiangnan has always been complicated, and the previous emperor knew the situation in Jiangnan's officialdom, so he never disturbed Jiangnan's officialdom.
Emperor Qinglong said in a dark tone: "If we don't clean it up, Jiangnan will become a country."
This is true.
The power in the south of the Yangtze River is getting bigger and bigger. If it is not cleaned up, I am afraid that it will really become a [country].
"Your Majesty, if Jiangnan is thoroughly cleaned, it will inevitably cause huge turmoil. You must be mentally prepared."
Emperor Qinglong sneered: "I would rather completely destroy Jiangnan than let it become a [country]."
What he said made Ye Wenfu and Song Xiuwen's heart skip a beat, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, can Lin Ruhai handle it?"
"I have already sent people to support him." Seeing that Ye Wenfu and Song Xiuwen looked worried, Emperor Qinglong comforted them, "I will not let Lin Ruhai have trouble."
With Emperor Qinglong's words, Ye Wenfu and Song Xiuwen felt much more at ease.
"Cleaning Jiangnan thoroughly is tantamount to cutting off Prince Li's left arm." Song Xiuwen said here, and suddenly said with emotion, "The former emperor should have cut the grass and roots." If the former emperor hadn't been soft-hearted, he would not have left the emperor Such a scourge.
"A tiger's poison does not eat its offspring. I can understand my father's feelings." Emperor Qinglong also felt that Prince Li had really repented, but he did not expect that Prince Li not only did not repent, but secretly expanded his power.When the first emperor was still alive, he chose to forbear and hibernate.When he came to power, he couldn't wait to show his fangs.
"Your Majesty, you can't let Prince Li go soft-hearted this time, or Prince Li will make a comeback." People like Prince Li should be eradicated and not allowed to live in this world.
Emperor Qinglong said viciously: "This time I will never let him go."
Ever since Emperor Qinglong came to the throne, Prince Li had challenged him and challenged his bottom line time and time again, which had pissed him off a long time ago.If possible, Emperor Qinglong had long wanted to get rid of Prince Li.
Over the years, Emperor Qinglong gritted his teeth and endured Prince Li's provocation time and time again.Now, when it was time to close the net, how could he soften his heart.To be kind to Prince Li is to be cruel to oneself.Besides, Emperor Qinglong would not make the same mistake twice.
"Your Majesty, if there is any action on the Jiangnan side, there will also be movement on the capital side. We have to be prepared in advance."
"After the end of the Jiangnan side, I will give Prince Li and the others a chance to do something." Emperor Qinglong said with a half-smile, "They have been waiting for a chance to do something, I will give them a chance."
Ye Wenfu and Song Xiuwen knew what Emperor Qinglong meant, and they immediately showed expressions of disapproval.
"My lord, it's too dangerous to do this."
Emperor Qinglong said meaningfully: "I don't want children to be unable to trap wolves, and I will use this opportunity to eradicate them completely." Seeing Ye Wenfu and the others, he still wanted to persuade them, and raised his hand to stop them, "I have made up my mind, and the two lovers don't use it." Advise again."
"Since the emperor has made up his mind, the ministers will stop persuading him. At that time, the ministers will definitely protect the emperor."
When Emperor Qinglong heard this, his gloomy face instantly became much gentler.
"With you here, I believe I will be fine."
Over the years, if it wasn't for the loyal support of Ye Wenfu and Lin Ruhai, Emperor Qinglong really didn't know what his situation would be like.
Ye Wenfu and Song Xiuwen immediately knelt down, "I will definitely protect the emperor!"
Emperor Qinglong stood up and walked in front of Ye Wenfu and the others, reaching out to help the two of them up.Then, hold both of their hands tightly.
"I'm lucky to have you!"
When Ye Wenfu and Song Xiuwen heard what Emperor Qinglong said, they were very moved, "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Qinglong smiled, changed the subject and said, "How is Lin Ruhai's son?" He sat back down again, picked up the teacup and took two sips of tea, "Didn't you copy the test papers of the township examination three years ago and take them back to him? Lin Ruhai's son took the test, how did he do?"
"At the beginning, he barely passed the exam, but he has made rapid progress during this period..." Ye Wenfu briefly told Emperor Qinglong about Lin Huaiyu's study during this period.
After hearing this, Emperor Qinglong was surprised: "Is progress so fast?"
"Very fast, even faster than I imagined."
"You bring his exam paper tomorrow for me to see."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"If it's really like what you said, I'm looking forward to him more and more."
At this time, Lin Huaiyu, who was talking to Jia Lian, sneezed unexpectedly.
"Brother Huai, are you suffering from a cold?"
"No." Lin Huaiyu rubbed her itchy nose and said, "Someone should be talking about me."
Jia Lian laughed and said, "Maybe it's my uncle."
"Probably."
"The old lady told you to go back and eat hairy crabs."
Now, this season is the season to eat hairy crabs.Rongguo Mansion received a lot of hairy crabs, and Mother Jia decided to hold a hairy crab banquet.
"You haven't visited the old lady for a while, and the old lady is upset again."
"Aren't I busy?"
"Brother Huai, you should take the time to pay a visit."
"Okay, my sister and I will visit in two days."
Next, the two talked about the winery.
Jia Lian still had things to do, and after discussing with Lin Huaiyu about the winery, he hurriedly left Ye Mansion.
Lin Huaiyu was about to go back to the study to continue studying, when Guizhi walked over.
"Master, this is the chrysanthemum tea that Miss Xue gave to Miss. Miss asked the servant to brew a pot for you."
"Miss Xue?" Lin Huaiyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Miss Xue is here again?"
"Yes, Miss Xue also sent a lot of hairy crabs." Gui Zhi said, "Young master, miss asked you to drink more chrysanthemum tea."
"Send it to the study." Lin Huaiyu doesn't like tea with flowers, but in the past two days, he has gotten a little angry.If he didn't drink chrysanthemum tea to relieve the heat, my sister would start nagging again.
Guizhi put down the chrysanthemum tea and retreated respectfully.
In the backyard, Xiao Daiyu and Xue Baochai were picking petals.
Some time ago, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai moved out from the Rongguo Mansion and lived in their mansion in the capital.Because it is relatively close to Ye Mansion, Xue Baochai would come to Ye Mansion to play with Xiao Daiyu every now and then.Xiao Daiyu also went to Xue's mansion to play with Xue Baochai from time to time.
Although Xue Baochai often came to Yefu to play, he never saw Lin Huaiyu once.
Lin Huaiyu stayed in the front yard all the time. Except for going to the dining room in the backyard when eating, he rarely went to the backyard. The main reason was that he didn't have time to go to the backyard.
When Xue Baochai came to Ye Mansion, he must be looking for Xiao Daiyu in the backyard, so she never met Lin Huaiyu in the backyard.However, she was not discouraged.
At first, Mammy Zhang was worried that Xue Baochai came to play with Xiao Daiyu out of ulterior motives, but after a period of contact, she found that Xue Baochai really came to play with her young lady, not for the young master.
The reason Xue Baochai was able to deceive Nanny Zhang was that she never mentioned Lin Huaiyu when she was playing with Xiao Daiyu.
Although Xue Baochai's real purpose of coming to play with Xiao Daiyu was for Lin Huaiyu, but she spent more time in contact with Xiao Daiyu, gradually fell in love with Xiao Daiyu, and sincerely wanted to become good friends with Xiao Daiyu.
"You are not in good health, don't eat too much hairy crabs." Xue Baochai reminded, "It is best to drink a little rice wine while eating, so that you won't get cold."
"Speaking of eating hairy crabs, I think of an interesting story."
"What fun?"
"When I was young, my brother and I liked to eat hairy crabs very much. Once my brother and I were greedy and ate too much." Xiao Daiyu said with some embarrassment. Don’t dare to eat more hairy crabs.”
"Is there such a thing?" Xue Baochai said in surprise, "I didn't realize that you also have a gluttonous side."
"My brother and I used to be greedy when we were young. Once we ate too much roasted venison, but luckily we didn't spoil our stomachs." When it came to eating roasted venison, Xiao Daiyu was a little greedy. There are other grilled meats that are very tasty."
Xue Baochai frowned slightly and asked, "Barbecue, should you eat the meat while roasting, won't it be fishy?"
Xiao Daiyu waved her hands again and again: "The barbecue is delicious, very fragrant, and not fishy at all."
Xue Baochai looked suspicious: "Really?"
"Roast pork belly, roast beef, and roast venison are really delicious. Sister Xue, haven't you eaten them?"
"No, I think it will be very fishy."
"It's not fishy." Speaking of barbecue, Xiao Daiyu became more and more greedy. "It's been a long time since I have eaten barbecue." After finishing speaking, she shouted to Xiangling, "Go and ask brother if he wants to eat barbecue .”
"Miss, you want to eat barbecue."
"It's me who wants to eat it, and my brother must also want to eat it, so hurry up and ask."
"The slave is going here."
"Sister Xue, don't go back later, stay and eat barbecue with me." Xiao Daiyu strongly recommended the barbecue to Xue Baochai, "Don't worry, it will be very delicious."
Xue Baochai was a little moved by Xiao Daiyu's words, "In this case, I will not hesitate to stay and taste the barbecue you mentioned."
"Sister Xue, you will know how delicious it is after eating it."
Xiangling had come to the front yard, but instead of going in, she called Liu Jinu over.
"Miss asked the young master if he wanted to eat barbecue at noon." After all, Xiang Ling hadn't left the cabinet, and she wasn't Lin Huaiyu's maid, so it was inconvenient to go directly to the front yard to find Lin Huaiyu.
"Okay, I'll ask the young master now."
After hearing Liu Jinu's words, Lin Huaiyu smiled and said, "Tell the lady that I want to eat barbecue, and ask her to order the kitchen to roast more meat."
"Yes, sir."
After Xiao Daiyu learned that Lin Huaiyu also wanted to eat barbecue, she asked Madam Zhang to go to the kitchen to give instructions, and asked Madam Zhang to tell the kitchen staff how to barbecue.
At noon, both Ye Wenfu and Mrs. Ye came back from outside.
Lin Huaiyu learned that Xue Baochai had lunch in the mansion at noon today, and Ye Wenfu and Ye Wenfu did not go to the dining room in the backyard for lunch.The father and son had lunch in the front yard, eating barbecue and hairy crabs.
In the dining room in the backyard, Mrs. Ye and Xiao Daiyu accompanied Xue Baochai to eat barbecue.
It was also the first time for Mrs. Ye to eat barbecue, and she thought it was not tasty at first, but after a few mouthfuls, she found that it tasted really good.
Xue Baochai didn't expect the barbecue to be so delicious, as Xiao Daiyu said, it is not only not fishy, but also very tender.Sprinkle with chili powder after roasting, it is really delicious.
"Sister Xue, it's more delicious to wrap the barbecue with vegetable leaves, try it."
Xue Baochai imitated Xiao Daiyu's actions, wrapped the freshly roasted barbecue with a fresh lettuce leaf, then fed it into her mouth and tasted it, her eyes immediately brightened.
"Delicious, right?"
Xue Baochai couldn't talk because he had barbecued meat in his mouth, so he nodded to Xiao Daiyu.
Mrs. Ye also wrapped a piece of barbecue with vegetable leaves and tasted it, and found it really delicious.
"How did Brother Huai come up with such a novel way of eating?"
"Mother-in-law, my brother has a lot of weird ways to eat, but the food he makes is very delicious, such as grilled cold noodles, fried noodles and so on."
"What are roasted cold noodles, and what are fried noodles?"
Xiao Daiyu carefully introduced to Mrs. Ye and Xue Baochai how to eat roasted cold noodles and fried noodles, as well as other foods they had never heard of.
Mrs. Ye and Xue Baochai were taken aback when they heard this, they didn't expect that there are so many weird ways to eat food.
At the same time, a major event happened in Rongguo Mansion.
Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu suddenly went mad, and the mother and son first stabbed people around with knives, injuring many people.Then, the two suddenly passed out.
Grandmother Jia hurriedly sent someone to invite Imperial Physician Wang, and Imperial Physician Wang took the pulses of Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu carefully, and found that their pulses were very weak, and I am afraid...the time is running out.
