The villain is invincible

Chapter 281

But who would have thought, this child starts with learning first, not only how the more he chats, the more he hits it off.

In the depth of the conversation, Lin Ruhai felt that this young man from the Xue family was really amazing.

When it comes to imperial examination writing, this young man named Xue Pan may still be a little immature. It seems that he is a novice who has not practiced for many years to form the imperial examination style.

But just from the understanding of the article and the intention of the history scriptures, this young man's thinking is really quite mature.

At the end of Lin Ruhai's chat, he even came up with the idea of ​​loving talents.

He even felt that if he wasn't too busy, it would not be a bad thing to accept an apprentice himself.

Probably because the chat was very speculative, in the later conversations between Lin Ruhai and Mai Fan, they were no longer just talking about academic issues.

When the two of them started talking about family matters led by Mai Fan, they naturally couldn't avoid the topic of Lin Ruhai's only daughter, Lin Daiyu, who was only six years old.

"I heard that my uncle's family has a younger sister who is about the same age as my direct sister."

"Nowadays, my uncle is busy with business, and the comings and goings of the family are very messy. Why don't my mother take my younger sister to take care of Lin's cousin."

When being mentioned as his most precious girl, Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the other party did not dislike the Xue family's contact with Lin Daiyu, Mai Fan continued to talk to Lin Ruhai with a little secret thought: "Sister's current age is too young."

"After this period of time is over, why don't you ask my mother to take Sister Lin and go to Jinling to live for a while."

"On weekdays, my younger sister doesn't have many playmates who get along well, but sister Lin and my younger sister can be companions. Two children of similar age can get together to comfort my younger sister from the grief of losing her mother. .”

"I don't know what other plans Uncle Lin has? Can you fulfill my sister's wish?"

It turned out that the little girl had bumped into Lin Daiyu a few times in the past few days, and she was grateful for the poor life experience of the other party, and she looked like a fairy in the sky, so Xue Baochai thought of dating, and she got together with Lin Daiyu very much.

After two or three times, the two little girls have become confidantes of each other.

When Aunt Xue saw Lin Ruhai, she was busy with her office and entertaining guests every day, a lonely little girl staying alone in the backyard.

I just thought about taking him home for the time being, and when Lin Ruhai got married to his wife, or had a way to settle down properly, their Xue family would send him back, it would be better than being neglected here .

Regarding Mai Fan's suggestion, Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and then he was surrounded by regrets that he had failed his duty as a father.

However, Lin Ruhai didn't think about troubling the Xue family, after all, the two families were far apart.

"It's unnecessary, Jia Lian, who came here with you, brought a letter from our ancestors."

"It is said that I heard that Daiyu is alone and helpless at home, and I want to take Daiyu to my grandmother's side to help take care of her."

"I thought, I'm busy with business here, and I really can't take care of Daiyu distracted."

"It's also good to let her go to the capital with Jia Lian and serve by the ancestor's side."

Mai Fan thought to himself, this plot is coming. Once sister Lin entered the classic chapter of Jia's mansion, did she just let it pass?

No way, something has to be changed.

So Mai Fan nodded in agreement, acting as if he was still very happy.

"It turns out that I'm going to the Duke Jia's mansion in the capital, which is really good."

"Then the relationship between our families is really very close."

"My aunt is the mistress of the Jia family's second room. If Sister Lin goes to Beijing, she should still call my aunt the second aunt."

"It's just Uncle Lin, I know from the letters my aunt sent to my mother in the past that the life of the Jia family may not be as rosy as it seems on the surface."

"If Sister Lin must send it there, Uncle Wanwang must bring Sister Lin's daily luggage, the small snacks she is used to, the books she loves to read on weekdays, and the most useful people around her. "

"Although the old ancestor who is the head of the Jia family is still there, he will definitely not wrong my sister."

"I'm afraid that my aunt, who is in charge of the house, will worry about my sister's expenses."

After finishing speaking, Mai Fan blinked his eyes very innocently, as if he was very worried about the economic crisis of the Jia family.

When Lin Ruhai heard the meaning of Mai Fan's words, she didn't think deeply about it at all.

He just thought that this young man admired him very much, and he would definitely say all the things he was worried about.

So, is the Jia family really short of money?

At the beginning, I thought that since my grandmother asked Daiyu to go there, everything must be prepared there, and it must not be advisable.

The original plan of simply tidying up and bringing only a few servants who would not cause trouble may have to be done separately.

It's just that the lack of money, to what extent...

Lin Ruhai smiled slightly, and changed the topic of Mai Fan to knowledge, and the two of them were dealing with poetry and romance again.

After Mai Fan left, Lin Ruhai and Xue Jue had a good meeting.

One is for the relationship between the big salt merchants in Jinling Mansion and the government, and the other is to ask side-by-side whether the Jia Mansion, which is far away in the capital, is really inclined to lose.

This first purpose was also the purpose of Xue Jue's coming to the Lin residence.

For the sake of his son, Xue Jue stopped thinking about cooperating with the Zhen family, that is to serve the current emperor wholeheartedly.

The situation in Kyoto is quite turbulent now. The reason why Xue Jue wanted to vote for a new owner was also because the old emperor he was loyal to had plans to abdicate and give power to the new emperor.

The situation at that time was that the battle between the older princes was very tragic.

Xue Jue was afraid that he would be trapped in the chaos, so he might as well cling to a little prince who had no competitiveness, which was much safer than standing still.

But later his son was very upbeat and took the path of a scholar.

Then the Zhen's family, a foreign relative who had a bad reputation in Jinling Mansion and got a chance because of her beauty, was not his best choice.

Because he is not famous as a businessman, but his son is a scholar, but he needs this face more than others.

It is precisely because Xue Jue has given up the thought of seeking refuge, that Xue Jue has shown his loyalty to the above all the more sincerely.

He made the old emperor and all the princes fighting for power think that he, Xue Jue, was a loyal royalist.
