After Jia Min waited for Daiyu's mood to calm down, she pointed at Lin Yun who was standing beside her and said, "Yu'er, hurry up and give me a gift to your brother Yun."

Only then did Daiyu notice Lin Yun standing next to her mother. She was secretly curious about how this clan brother came to be with her mother.

Although she was confused, she still saluted Lin Yun and said, "Yu'er pays homage to the clan brother."

Lin Yun smiled and said, "It's cold outside. My sister should go inside with my aunt to talk."

Jia Min rushed to the maids and women and ordered: "You all should leave. Brother Yun, come in with me and Yu'er to sit down."

"Uncle, you and your daughter will definitely have a lot to say when you reunite after a long separation, so I won't interrupt you."

Jia Min persuaded him, "It's not too late to go in, sit down for a while, and have a cup of hot tea before leaving."

"Oh well."

After the maids and ladies left, Lin Yun accompanied the mother and daughter towards the door.

…

Here, Grandma Wang led Zijuan and Xueyan up to greet Jia Min, and welcomed the three of them into the house to sit down.

As soon as she entered the house, Daiyu helped Jia Min sit down on the heated kang, and brought tea and snacks for her mother to taste.

After Jia Min asked Grandma Wang carefully about Daiyu's situation, she sent her and the two little maids out.

As soon as the three people left, Daiyu became tired of being in her mother's arms and never wanted to leave.

Lin Yun smiled and joked: "Sister Yu'er, how old are you, why are you still so clingy?"

Daiyu became angry when she heard this. She said coquettishly to Jia Min: "Mom, he bullied me."

Jia Min scolded Lin Yun: "Brother Yun, don't bully your sister Yu'er."

Lin Yun quickly apologized: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have made fun of my sister."

"Hmph! I'm not your sister."

Hearing Dai Yu's arrogant words, Jia Min raised his hand and patted his daughter on the forehead, then smiled and scolded: "Yu'er, don't be rude to your brother. From now on, Brother Yun will be your brother, and you must treat him like a real brother. Treat him the same."

Daiyu raised her head and looked at her mother with confusion.

Lin Yun naturally understood what Jia Min was thinking, and he solemnly said: "Don't worry, aunt, my nephew will definitely take good care of sister Yu'er."

Jia Min smiled and said: "Brother Yun, with your words, I feel relieved."

But Daiyu secretly said in her heart: "I don't care if you take care of me."

…

At this time, Zijuan walked in from the outside, saluted Jia Min and said: "Madam, I sent someone to deliver a message. Let the young nephew go to the front to meet the guests."

Lin Yun was stunned when he heard this. He was asked to meet the guest. What kind of guest did he have to meet?

Jia Min smiled at Lin Yun and said, "It must be Yu'er's husband who wants to see you. He is a good friend of the master's class and his knowledge is very good. Brother Yun, go and meet him quickly."

As soon as Lin Yun heard that he was Daiyu's teacher, he knew that Jia Yucun must be here. He thought to himself: "Isn't Lin Ruhai trying to make him become his teacher? This will be troublesome."

Standing up with a tangled look on his face, Lin Yun saluted Jia Min, then turned and walked out the door.

…

Seeing Lin Yun walking away with a bitter look on his face, Daiyu gloated and said with a smile: "Mother, he seems to be very unhappy to see Mr.

Jia Min said with a straight face: "Yu'er, don't talk about your brother like that."

Daiyu said coquettishly: "Mother, what I said is the truth. From the look he just looked like, he doesn't like reading at first glance."

Jia Min caressed her daughter's cheek and scolded her softly: "What do you know? Brother Yun has just been selected as a scholar. He is very good at reading."

"oh!"

Daiyu was a little surprised to hear that Lin Yun was selected as a scholar. However, she said stubbornly: "Isn't it just that he was selected as a scholar? My father is still a top talent."

Jia Min said angrily: "You girl, why do you like to go against Brother Yun?"

Daiyu pouted and said, "He was the one who bullied my daughter first. You didn't know that day~"

…

After leaving the back house, Lin Yun followed the boy who came to report the news to the government office to meet the guests.

She originally thought that Lin Ruhai would receive Jia Yucun in the study, but unexpectedly the two of them were sitting in an exquisite wooden house shaded by plum blossoms, facing Yi Weiqi.

Looking inside through the propped up window, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket holding a chess piece under his arm and bowing his head in deep thought.

Hearing the footsteps coming from outside the window, the middle-aged man turned to look at Lin Yun walking in front of the window, with a trace of subtle surprise on his face.

After seeing the man's appearance, Lin Yun secretly praised in his heart: "This man has such a good temperament, even compared to a handsome man like Lin Ruhai, he is not inferior."

Seeing Lin Yun coming in from the door, Lin Ruhai waved to him and said: "Brother Yun, come and meet Mr. Shi Fei."

Lin Yun stepped forward, bowed to Jia Yucun and said, "Junior Lin Yun pays homage to you, sir."

Jia Yucun sat without moving, but raised his hand to support him and said: "Brother, there is no need to be polite."

Lin Ruhai smiled at Jia Yucun and asked, "Brother Shi Fei, can this nephew of mine still catch your eye?"

Jia Yucun smiled and said: "Brother, I was awarded the title of Scholar at the age of thirteen. I am not as good as my generation."

Lin Ruhai ordered Lin Yun to pour wine for the two of them, and then said humbly: "Brother Yun's success as a scholar is just a fluke. You have also read his classics and articles, but they are just a medium-level resource. If you want to be a scholar again,

Further, we need the guidance of a famous teacher.”

Lin Yun groaned secretly in his heart when he heard this, "Listening to the meaning of Lin Ruhai's words, it is clear that he wants him to become a disciple of Jia Yucun, the great Yin man. Should I agree? Or refuse?"

Jia Yucun raised his hand and tapped some manuscript papers next to the chessboard, and asked Lin Yun: "Brother, is this policy about salt lessons your own idea?"

Lin Yun: "Not all of them are my thoughts. Some of them are the insights I heard from Divine Doctor Guo when I chatted with him."

Jia Yucun nodded slightly, and then asked: "In your opinion, how should we deal with the flooding of private salt in these two Huaihe rivers?"

Lin Yun thought for a while and then said: "In order to control the proliferation of illegal salt, we must first crack down on the collusion between officials and businessmen, and official bandits and official thieves. This requires the full cooperation of local officials and patrol battalions, and most of these two families are involved in illegal activities.

The salt dealers bribed and tried to get them to cooperate, but it was tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger."

Jia Yucun twisted his beard and praised: "Brother, I am impressed that I have such insights."

Lin Ruhai laughed at the side and said: "Brother Shi Fei, if a child doesn't get compliments, don't let him be arrogant."

Jia Yucun shook his head and said: "Since Brother Shi can see the nature of this private salt that has been banned for many times, it can be seen that he has put his heart into it."

After a pause, he asked Lin Yun: "What if the local officials and the patrol camp are not trustworthy?"

Lin Yun said without hesitation: "Officials can be transferred, and the patrol battalion can abolish the old salt patrol soldiers, recruit good men and women, and then send capable people to lead them, responsible for investigating the manufacture, trafficking, and sale of illegal salt."

Lin Ruhai's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he hurriedly scolded: "Brother Yun, be careful what you say."

Jia Yucun said with a smile: "Brother Shi is dedicated to making suggestions for the court. Even if his words are inappropriate, he has made merits and has no faults."

Lin Ruhai: "The abolition of patrol battalion officers and soldiers is not something we can discuss. Besides, even if a new group of people come up, who can guarantee that they will not be bribed by private salt dealers again."

Lin Yun moved his mouth, wanting to say something but holding back.

Jia Yucun glanced at him, then smiled at Lin Ruhai and said, "One day, brother Ruhai will be promoted, hahaha~"

Lin Ruhai said awkwardly: "Brother Shi Fei, you are so easy to change, and so hard to change your nature!"

Lin Yun glanced at Jia Yucun and thought to himself: "How could this guy guess my thoughts? Are he and I the same kind of people?

Lin Ruhai said to Lin Yun again: "Brother Yun, Mr. Shi Fei will go to Beijing with you this time. I ask him to give you guidance on your studies on the way. If you don't understand anything, you can ask him for advice."

Jia Yucun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't take it seriously as asking for advice, let's just discuss it with each other."

Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Jia Yucun didn't want to be his teacher, but this was exactly what he wanted.

He hurriedly rushed to Jia Yucun and said, "Please give me your advice, sir."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Lin Ruhai secretly regretted seeing him. He felt that Jia Yucun's knowledge was not inferior to his. If Lin Yun accepted him as his teacher, he would definitely make great progress in his classics and articles.

Jia Yucun smiled at Lin Yun and said, "I'll give Brother Shi two suggestions first."

"Please give me some advice, sir."

"First of all, your calligraphy is still lacking in warmth. You need to practice more in the future."

Lin Yun nodded quickly. In his previous life, he was used to typing on a computer. Even when writing, he used a pen. Although he has practiced calligraphy hard for several years, he still feels that it is not interesting.

Jia Yucun added: "The other thing is that when you write an article in the future, you must first draft it. You must be able to write a word without difficulty. It is best if the article can be written in one stroke."

Lin Yun was stunned when he heard this. This request was quite difficult for him.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Brother Yun, Brother Shi Fei's words are all based on experience. Only by practicing more regularly can we ensure that the test paper does not make mistakes. You must know that if the paper is easy to change by one word, ten years of hard study will be in vain.

"

"The younger generation will be taught."

Lin Yun thought to himself, "A top student is a top student. In the past, I only knew that I should be careful when copying the test papers and not pollute the papers. Who would have thought that Jia Yucun could finish it in one go without making a draft? The top students are really incomparable!"

After advising Lin Yun on his experience in the examination room, Jia Yucun turned to the topic of going to Kyoto. It was early winter, and if you took the waterway to Kyoto, you might be blocked by ice on the river. He reminded Lin Ruhai to leave early.

Lin Yun secretly lamented in his heart that even he had ignored this point. This shows that Jia Yucun is very thoughtful and is indeed a man of action.

Next, Jia Yucun made some comments on Lin Yun's classic articles. Many of his views were very close to Lin Ruhai's, which shows that he was appreciated by Lin Ruhai because he had similar interests.

About half an hour later, a boy came in and reported to Lin Ruhai that a guest had come to visit. Jia Yucun quickly stood up and left.

Lin Ruhai did not try to persuade him to stay, and ordered Lin Yun to escort Jia Yucun out of the house for him.

Outside the gate of the government office, Lin Yun looked at Jia Yucun's retreating figure and thought to himself, if Lin Ruhai had not died early, would Jia Yucun still be as prosperous as it was in the original time and space?

Then, he smiled mockingly to himself. With Lin Ruhai here, how could the Jia family's political resources be placed on an outsider?

After thinking about it clearly, Lin Yun was about to turn around and go back to his house when he saw the old housekeeper walking over quickly and smiled at him: "Brother Yun, your little boy is back and he has brought several servants with him."

Lin Yun hurriedly asked: "Uncle Fu, where are they now?"

Old housekeeper: "They are all dining in the guest room. I asked Yan'er to accompany them."

"It's good to come back. I'm worried that they won't be able to come back in time."

As soon as Lin Yun finished speaking, he heard the sound of a carriage approaching from behind.

Then, I heard someone shouting loudly from behind: "Boy Yun, I am going to find you."
