The villain is invincible

Chapter 297
But this is the ancient times Mai Fan lived in. In a dynasty where wealthy merchants like his family were crushed by class, how could it be possible for an heir who needed to support the family business to behave like this.

Therefore, under the background of Mai Fan, Baoyu's performance seemed too unbearable.

It is precisely because of this comparison that Jia Baoyu thought about how to avoid his father's pursuit when he saw the sky, thus spending a lot of time hanging out with his sisters.

Lin Daiyu spent the years from six to eight years old very easily.

As she grew older, the nuns around her also began to tell her some homework that a girl in a boudoir should master.

It wasn't until this time that Lin Daiyu suddenly realized that the knowledge taught to her by the grandma next to her was completely different from the knowledge learned by the sisters around her now.

It's not that there is no overlap in what they learn, poetry, calligraphy, qin art, go, tea ceremony, these are the skills that little girls like, and her eldest mother still encourages herself to learn according to her preferences.

It's just that in her usual homework, there are more things than before.

For example, the clan relatives of their Lin family, their servants, especially the family relationships of the servants who accompanied her to the capital and the servants who were originally staying in the old house in the capital, as well as their knowledge of financial management and account books.

Lin Daiyu didn't bother to take care of these vulgar things.

But whether it was the eldest mother who stayed by her side or the eldest girl who was close to her, they all put the truth in front of her.

"Miss, you see, girl, I am already fifteen years old. According to the rules of our Lin family, I can promise to others after the age of sixteen."

"Whether it's allotment to the family to give birth to a child, or go outside to find a lover, the girls like Xuejuan and Xuechan will hand over the power of management."

"Give it to the little girls we trained, what if they can't be as capable as us?"

"If the young lady is deceived by the people below, it's like the whole family of Jia's family who eats away the wealth of the main family like moths. What will the young lady do then?"

"Also, if the master plans to marry a new wife in the future, the dowry left by the young lady's mother can only be considered appropriate if the young lady holds it in her own hands."

"But the young lady doesn't know anything about the original lady's property. If the new lady is a good one, that's fine, but if she is crooked, isn't the lady afraid that the lady's finances will be stolen by the bad guys?"

"That's why my miss, even if you don't like it no matter how much you just hand it over to us, you have to know what's in your mind."

"No one in this world is as reliable as relying on yourself."

Lin Daiyu is just impatient with these mundane things, but she is a smart girl.

What others said was reasonable, and the persuasion was all for her own good, so she naturally took these to heart, let's not talk about those people who treat people and things for the time being, but these money and vulgar things can be listened to and done. I have a good idea.

This is the most correct way to stand up on your own.

The fate of these people Mai Fan cares about seems to be heading in a good direction just like his studies.

Now Mai Fan is more than fifteen years old, and he is about to meet the second major threshold in his life, the arrival of the township examination.

In this world, he can leave a real impression among the officials' children only after passing the hurdle of the provincial examination.

Because for scholars, Juren is already one of his own people who has stepped into the court with one foot.

Juren has the qualifications to recommend officials. Some remote counties and some candidates with special talents can use the method of recommendation and selection of officials, starting from small officials like county books, step by step. climbed high.

Although the process was a bit difficult, there were not many people who came from a Juren background who had reached the rank three or above.

But to be in charge of government in one place, to benefit the common people, and to say the same thing, the identities of these juren are qualified.

Therefore, this is why Mai Fan attaches great importance to it.

In addition, if you want to reach the last step of the two list of Jinshi, even if you are talented beyond the sky, you must still be a candidate.

After nearly three years of studying in the Imperial College, Mai Fan felt that he should have a good result in the exam when he returned to Jinling Mansion this time.

Similarly, after he finished the exam, he would go to the Lin Mansion again at his father's request.

Hearing that Lin Ruhai is what his master means, since the two of them have been working together, even if the old emperor suddenly passed his throne to the fourth prince during his reign, the two of them did not panic.

When he went to Yangzhou this time, one was to bring some private goods to his father, and the other was to describe Lin Daiyu's life in Jia's mansion to Lin Ruhai.

Let's not talk about how he passed the three days of the rural examination.

But this time, the treatment was a bit different from when he was a scholar.

His old father, who had to set off firecrackers in the first pass of the boy's exam, sent him to Yangzhou just two days after he came out of the examination room.

He hasn't even seen the results of this game yet.

Why such a treatment.

But the expression on his father Xue Jue's face was too solemn, so Mai Fan had to put away his carelessness.

"What happened?"

"The new emperor wants us to surrender."

Hearing this, Mai Fan knew that the matter was really serious.

Logically speaking, the old emperor has only abdicated for more than half a year now, and the new emperor is not secure in his position.

Moreover, there is a younger brother of the Zhen family who is favored under him, who is a bit older than him, but it looks like he is going to be an adult.

And at the beginning, there was an upright heir on top of the fourth prince. If the prince hadn't raised the banner and done some inappropriate things later, the throne would definitely not fall to the middle-aged fourth prince. on the head.

So, at this juncture, where did the other party get the confidence to think that his father and even Lin Ruhai, the patrol censor, would join his sect just because of a few letters?

After all, a person is a high-ranking official who is in charge of salt affairs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and his father, although named Huangshang, but his title of Ziwei Sheren who can walk in the court is really not a false title.

On the surface, he made the purchases for the palace, but secretly it was the old emperor's hidden line buried in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Many sources of making money are handled by Xue Jue.

If Xue Jue took refuge in the current new emperor, it would be tantamount to cutting off the old emperor's source of income and poaching a corner of the capital.

Why did the fourth prince have such courage, or was this a game from the beginning?

"That's why I need to ask your master Master Lin for his opinion.
