The whole play fell in 2019

  Lin Jing asked, "Now that the mistress has passed away, it goes without saying that Master and we as his children will be affected. But what about the servants in the household?"

  In this era, children must show filial piety to their parents, and wives must strictly observe the rules for their husbands. As for husbands, they also have to maintain a certain level of propriety in public, but in private, it's not something that can be openly discussed. In wealthy households, servants are required to wear mourning attire, but when it comes to daily life, the rules aren't as strict. It's common for servants to secretly indulge in meat and wine, or even engage in romantic affairs, as long as they maintain a good facade and don't disrupt the household rules; the master of the house will turn a blind eye.

  Lin Jing asked, and the two of them knew it was for Shi Ying's sake. Shi Ying also spoke in a gentle tone, saying some humble words that were reasonable and emotional, and the atmosphere finally became lively.

  Lin Jing seemed to have let out a sigh of relief, saying: "So that's how it is. I said so. The people from the Yu family are already like this, let alone the likes of Yu Keqing."

  Lin Jing's words were quite light, but there were only three people in the house, and they were all gathered together, so those two naturally heard them.

  Those two suddenly fell silent, and coincidentally thought of a certain person and thing, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. In fact, these inner courtyard women are no different from modern women of later generations. These women mostly spend their lives in such a small place, seeing and hearing only within this small scope, naturally paying attention to events that occur in this small place, using a magnifying glass to examine them closely, and especially picking out flaws, and even more so emphasizing the importance of appearances. Perhaps it's only when everything is flawless that one can truly shine with dignity.

  Jia Yucun indulged in the scenery, and his behavior didn't violate any rules or etiquette, so even Lin Ruhai couldn't say anything about it. However, from the perspective of Feng Baozhen and others, Lady Wang had just passed away, and Xueyan was still ill, yet Mr. Jia would often go out as if nothing was wrong, which made it seem like he didn't care about his daughter at all. Now that Lin Jing "accidentally" mentioned it, he naturally felt uncomfortable in his heart.

  However, Old Lady Feng immediately grasped the situation and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, Master, where did you go earlier? It was hard for those few young maids to find you."

  "This will make the poem shadow also can't help but just now with Feng Pozi Bie Miao Tou, and immediately followed suit: "Yes, those legs are all thin, born and haven't found. You don't have to be disgusted with your nurse and me taking care of you, asking this and that, I'm actually willing not to ask for the sake of convenience, but what if Master has something to find you, this will delay everyone can't discuss it well."

  Lin Jing looked like he was being scolded, his face slightly red, and said: "Nai Nang and Shi Ying sister, don't be angry. I didn't intentionally play truant and hide from people. It's just that something urgent came up."

  At the moment, Lin Jing spoke a bit quickly, and then told what had just happened. She said that she was originally just strolling around, but didn't expect to end up at the outer gate of the second door, where she ran into Mr. Jia who had just returned home. Mr. Jia had drunk some wine, and somehow got into a dispute with the doorman, even accidentally knocking himself on the head. Then, she found that Mr. Jia's movements were somewhat awkward, thinking that after all, he was still her teacher, so it would be good for her to serve him as his disciple, so she sent Mr. Jia back to his room and settled him in before returning. Who would have thought that this would delay things and cause the nanny and sister to worry?

  Lin Jing simply stated these things in a straightforward and factual manner, without exaggeration or concealment. His tone was neutral, neither liking nor disliking, and did not add his own subjective views. At first glance, it seemed like he was just stating facts, but in reality, it had a more provocative and guiding effect. Don't forget that they were still talking about rules and etiquette earlier. Moreover, Lin Jing even directly mentioned the eldest daughter.

  Lin Jing just spoke all the way, as if he didn't notice the expressions on those two faces at all. However, even Feng's wife couldn't hold back her anger, and her face was slightly distorted.

  What's with Jia Yucun, who has been running around outside for days? Today he's still drunk. Even if he doesn't need to abstain from wine and food, can't he be more restrained?

  Moreover, a well-read person like you actually had a verbal spat with that rough servant at the door. Is this not a case of refinement being trampled upon?

  Doesn't this person understand the importance of giving face to a young lady? Isn't this losing face for the young lady? If the young lady's teacher behaves like this, what will others think? They'll probably think with contempt that such a teacher can only produce students who are just as bad!

  Alas! The young lady's reputation is at stake and can't afford to take even the slightest risk. Can't let someone like that drag her down.

  The two people in front of them now have no mind to care about Lin Jing. The two tacitly exchanged a glance, nodded, and then Feng Pozi rushed towards Lin Jing: "Brother did a great job, after all, he is the older brother. By the way, it's still early now, I'll go to Lai Mama's place and report the matter of Guo Quan to her, let's see what she says."

  Lin Jing immediately showed a grateful face: "In that case, thank you for your trouble, nanny!"

  Mrs. Feng waved her hand and repeatedly said it was nothing, then left in a hurry, her footsteps showing her inner anxiety. Watching Mrs. Feng's back, Lin Jing felt truly grateful this time.

  However, it's unlikely that the Lai family will only listen to one side of the story. It's possible that they'll send someone to ask the doorman who was on duty today for more information. That would be even better.

  Lin Jing practiced his writing for a while, then looked at the time and thought it was about right to go pay respects to Lin Ruhai. This time, Lin Jing found that this old gentleman's complexion was even worse than in the morning. Usually when paying respects every day, Lin Ruhai would ask Lin Jing to recite some books, and he would also test him a bit before explaining some books. But today, Lin Ruhai simply waved his hand and let Lin Jing go back.

  By dinner time, Mrs. Feng still hadn't returned.

  Lin Jing was in a good mood and even her appetite had improved. If she wasn't afraid of revealing something, she would have wanted to eat another half bowl of rice.

  Mrs. Feng returned after dinner, and her previously furrowed brow was now relaxed. Lin Jing nodded to himself and stopped worrying about those things, focusing his mind on practicing calligraphy instead.

  However, there is one thing to mention, Feng's mother did bring back some white fine cloth.

  Goodbye, my previous life's proud 70C!

  From now on, I will believe in Spring Brother, and hope that he can really achieve eternal life!

  Lin Jing saw Jia Yucun again after several days, in Lin Ruhai's study.

  At that time, Lin Ruhai was explaining a certain sentence from the "University" to Lin Jing. Suddenly, Xiao Si's voice came from outside: "Master, Mr. Jia wants to see you."

  Lin Ruhai heard this and slightly furrowed his brow, then had the person invited in.

  Jia Yucun came in, although he was bowing to Lin Ruhai, but he didn't forget to glance at Lin Jing. However, his back straightened even more in the next second.

  That day, Jia Yucun was momentarily enraged and let his guard down in front of Lin Jing. By the next day, he had calmed down and even felt a bit regretful. However, he thought to himself that those words were spoken in front of Old Master Lin, and he had already trapped himself.

  And now seeing Lin Jing, that unconscious movement of sticking out her chest and straightening her back, was even more telling herself, to speak must be followed by action!

  Jia Yucun exchanged a few pleasantries with Lin Ruhai before tendering his resignation.

  Lin Ruhai let out a deep sigh and said, "Sir is talented, naturally there are great mountains and rivers in his heart. If I were to keep you here by force, it would seem that I am being too self-centered. Forget it, I should prioritize your future prospects!"

  Jia Yucun's face suddenly turned red. He thought Lin Ruhai would still try to persuade him, and the two of them would go back and forth a few more times, but in the end he left without another word!

  Great hills and mountains ahead! Hehe, children don't understand, they just think there's a way to rush forward. If Lin Ruhai can be an official like this, how could he not know that he was demoted? Without the right timing, where would his future prospects come from?

  "I can no longer sit still, thank you, Lord Lin, for your appreciation. In that case, I, Jia, will take my leave tomorrow."

  After saying two more polite phrases, Jia Yucun left.

  Lin Ruhai looked at the man who was deliberately standing up straight and instructed, "Tell Lin An to go to the accounting room to withdraw 300 taels of silver and send it to Mr. Jia."

  The little servant outside was busy responding and wanting to leave, "Slow," Lin Jing spoke up.

  "Master, don't bother An Bo anymore. Look, I'll go and serve him myself. At the same time, I'll also pay respects to our teacher on behalf of my sister."

  Selling to others and letting others count the money for oneself is a high-level skill. Lin Jing didn't expect Jia Yucun to count the money for him, but when singing an opera, one has to sing the whole set.

  Lin Jing brought three hundred taels of silver, and Jia Yucun was quite moved. Although Lin Jing said that the silver was given by Lin Ruhai, but the study had only been so embarrassing once, Jia Yucun was convinced that Lin Ruhai did not have such a good heart. Even if he did, it was Lin Jing who persuaded him.

  Jia Yucun was momentarily moved, saying: "I have something to give you." He said, taking out a large stack of papers from the book table, which was the set of rules he had organized a few days ago, and handed it to Lin Jingdao, "It's not anything good, but I also don't want to leave it idle here."

  Jia Yucun finally left Lin's residence. The people in the mansion also stopped mentioning this person again.

  Mr. Zhong, Lin Jing's teacher, was finally found. This gentleman, surnamed Zhong, was originally the deputy head of the White Deer Cave Academy, one of the four major academies. Due to his advanced age, he couldn't bear the troubles and resigned from his position, returning to Yangzhou to retire in his hometown. It wasn't easy to invite him, and it was through Lin Ruhai's colleague that the connection was made, as this colleague also came from White Deer Academy.

  The teacher has been invited, and there is no need to worry about which one. Lin Jing naturally went all out to learn. She knew that her time was very tight!

  As for these, those in the government, although each had their own plans, were all pleased to see it happen.

  Lin Jing is a diligent student who rises early and retires late, exercises daily to grow taller, but cannot let certain parts of his body grow, making him quite busy.

  On this day, Lin Jing returned from Mr. 's place and ran into a group of people. The one who was allowed to go first was the house slave of Rongguo Mansion, who had just left Lin's house a few months ago!

  Thank you mas Mu Tong Xie for the peace charm!
