"Let's not talk about the profitable shop, let's talk about the servants in the mansion. I have never seen such a luxurious and extravagant mansion."
"In Jia Baoyu's yard alone, there are more than ten or twenty girls, big and small, and the girl's monthly salary is a huge expense."
"Coupled with the greed of the people below, deception and concealment are everywhere. The student only stayed in Jia's house for more than a month, and he saw no less than two or three incidents of drinking, fooling around, gambling and fishing. "
"If the family tradition is just loose and the servants are dishonest, that's all. If we straighten it out, we can kill this unhealthy trend."
"I'm just afraid. The elders of the Jia family... Hey, it's wrong for the younger generation not to speak to the elders."
"Sir, let me just talk about people of the same generation in the Jia family."
"Because I am a foreigner, I cannot easily pass through the backyard."
"Just say that I have had wine with Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, Jia Rong, Jia Baoyu and even my aunt's concubine Jia Huan."
"Among these people...the only one who can see through it is Jia Qiang, a side branch of the Jia family."
"And in the Rongguo Mansion, it is Jia Lian who is able to walk outside and even say a word..."
"Mr. Lin, no one in this generation can stand up to such a huge mansion... The decline of the Jia family is something we can see."
When Lin Ruhai heard this, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked an inexplicable question: "What do you think of Jia Baoyu of the Jia family?"
Mai Fan thought about Jia Baoyu, who was only ten years old, and shook his head at Lin Ruhai.
"He is still young, but he seems to have a kind heart. It's just that he was brought up by the Jia family, so he is too ignorant of worldly things and human feelings."
"When it comes to homework..." Mai Fan had a strange expression on his face: "You can't hold up a wall with mud."
"But sir, the student thinks that in a situation like Jia Baoyu's, it might be a good thing to live in a state of confusion for the rest of his life."
Lin Ruhai was a little surprised: "Why?"
Mai Fan sighed: "I only found out after arriving in the capital. There is a saying that has been circulating among the nobles in the capital for a long time."
"It is said that the jade from the Jia family was born extraordinary. When he was born, colorful auspicious clouds fell in the Jia family. As soon as the baby fell to the ground, there was a jade the size of a chicken egg in his mouth."
"And this Baoyu psychic has been with Jia Baoyu since he was a child."
"If Jade is here, this Jia Baoyu is indeed a transparent and intelligent child, but if something happens to Jade and she is no longer by Jia Baoyu's side... Jia Baoyu will be a little confused and not like a normal young man. "
"Besides, it's just that you were born rich, but that rumor already involves the importance of destiny..."
"Sir, I think there are so many powerful people in the capital, who would want to be suppressed by the second son of a first-class general's mansion."
Lin Ruhai fell silent after hearing this.
Mai Fan felt that this might not be enough, so he told Lin Ruhai about another strange situation in Jia's house.
"In the current Jia family, uncle Jia She who inherited the title lives in the courtyard near Ma Peng."
"But my uncle lives in the main hall where Zeng Guogong lived." Qingfeng Literature
"I don't quite know what the ancestors who are the masters of the family think. Even the head of the Jia family is nowhere to be seen."
"I just know that he is an old man who likes to play with antiques and play with girls... He doesn't even need to go to court normally."
It wasn't until she heard this that Lin Ruhai's face showed some emotion.
Because when his wife was seriously ill, she once had the idea of marrying her daughter to Baoyu of the Jia family.
Lin Daiyu has been living in the Jia family for these years. Lin Ruhai is worried that she, a grown man, cannot take care of her daughter, but more importantly, she wants Lin Daiyu to get familiar with the environment in the capital. If her daughter is allowed to have a relationship with her childhood sweetheart, a cousin of the Jia family When she grew up, she developed certain feelings, and the Jia family was Lin Daiyu's maternal family. Even if she married into her, others would not bear to treat her badly.
This good thing of getting closer and closer seems to be better for his daughter.
But now I listen to my students describe the situation in Jia's mansion and compare it with the letters that have been sent one after another from Jia's mansion over the years...
Lin Ruhai hesitated.
Bit by bit, many details told him one thing. The Jia family was not as beautiful as he imagined, and the child named Jia Baoyu, from the current point of view, did not seem to be a good person.
Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai unconsciously turned his eyes to the young man in front of him.
Compared with Xue Pan, no, among the young people he knew, there was no one who could compare to his own students regardless of their financial background and just talking about talents.
It's a pity that Xue Pan is six years older than his daughter.
This six-year age difference is huge.
Xue Pan is now fifteen years old and will be of age to discuss marriage in a year or two.
Even if you get married later, you will definitely be determined by the age of eighteen or nineteen.
At that time, my daughter was only about twelve or thirteen years old...
Lin Ruhai sighed, as if she had given up on this idea, and asked Mai Fan casually: "Now that you have gained the honor of raising a child, what are your family plans?"
"Have you found some girls of the right age for you to look at? Your father has talked to me about this issue in recent years."
"I don't have any requests. I just look at your results this year and give you a pertinent suggestion."
"If you want to meet someone, you might as well break out of the current circle and wait three years until you take the Jinshi examination before talking about marriage."
"It's best for the woman to find an official family. Even if she has a slightly lower official position or a poorer yamen, she won't be afraid."
"What your Xue family lacks is not money, but the opportunity to be recognized by officials."
"Marriage is a very good way. Since he is a son-in-law, he is equivalent to half a nephew, and he will naturally be included in this circle."
"I just told the teacher before looking for him. I can also help you analyze the origin of this person and whether the circle he associates with can be helpful to you."
Mai Fan knew that Lin Ruhai was doing it for his own good, so he naturally agreed immediately.
Mai Fan is not disgusted with the idea of marrying a wife and having children. The villain system that brought him here has not responded at all. The function of the tavern seems to be silent here and has no effect. The unwilling The unwilling Xue Pan from the Red Mansion drifted to nowhere.
Mai Fan is ready for a long war.
