◎ Don't worry! They won't be able to jump around for long. ◎
So, the daughter of the Wang family wants to completely rule the Jia family?
If Jia's mother is smart, she can't agree to this.
The daughter of the Wang family cannot be said to be bad, but since there are better choices, who would want a daughter of the Wang family from a "loser" family?
And Mr. Xue only looks like one, not really.
Although he is a businessman, he is also an imperial merchant after all. It is easy for him to successfully join the ranks of regular officials by doing business - several big businessmen in Shanxi have taken this route.
Many of them became first-class officials by doing well as imperial merchants.
Not to mention the famous red-topped businessman Hu Xueyan.
The combination of officials and businessmen was originally the most common "road to success" in this era. If Mr. Xue's health was better, he might really be able to fight.
After all, the Xue family was still pretty good in the hands of Old Lady Xue and Mr. Xue.
Otherwise, the Wang family would not have married their third daughter to their family.
Unfortunately, Mr. Xue died too early.
All this has become a dream.
And what's worse is that he left Aunt Xue a "fake son".
Needless to say, Aunt Xue has been worried about Xue Pan since he was a child. It can be said that, except for being filial, this big fool Xue has no place to make people worry.
Therefore, in view of the situation of the Xue family, Mother Jia would definitely look down on their family background.
Let alone their family, even if it was a legitimate daughter from a legitimate Wang family, she would probably not look down on them.
The Jia family's "Wang" content is too high, and they can't have any more daughters from the Wang family. They
can't have the blood of a daughter from the Wang family either.
So, if Xue Baochai wants to marry Baoyu from their family, she can forget about it.
Lin Ruhai can see through this at a glance.
But his perspective is more masculine.
It's not about superficial things like beauty, it's mainly about family interests.
He thinks the Xue family's family tradition is not good, they put interests first, and the children raised by such a family, regardless of gender, will definitely not have a big picture.
In this case, if they want to get married, it may really end up "ruining three generations".
It must be resolutely stopped.
Fortunately, their family is safe, and they will definitely not be favored by the Xue family.
But there is also Xue Pan, oh, no, now he is called Jia Pan.
This guy is still eyeing them covetously.
Don't look at him, you don't know, that guy has taken a fancy to the little girl of the Zhen family.
Since this child has already recognized Jia Min as her godmother, she is now also a girl of their Lin family.
Since she is also a member of the Lin family, she will follow this rule - we will never marry into a family with a bad family tradition. After
Lin Ruhai expressed this attitude, Jia Min breathed a sigh of relief. Although Xiao Daiyu didn't quite understand it at first, she figured out the key after thinking about it.
It turns out that the second aunt and Aunt Xue had this plan in mind.
That's true...
Xiao Daiyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and rolled her eyes secretly in disgust. She thought that Sister Bao from the Xue family was such a glamorous person, but it turned out that her family was like this.
Fortunately, they didn't have much interaction, so she just had to be more careful in the future.
As soon as Mo Yu woke up, he felt that something was wrong with the expressions of Lin Ruhai, Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu.
But he didn't think much about it, and just thought that they were stimulated again when they went to the Jia Mansion this time, and they should be fine soon.
[Don't worry, the Jia family won't be able to jump around for long. When the prince is deposed, their good days will be over. ]
Lin Ruhai, Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu were so scared that they almost trembled when they heard his inner voice.
Then the three of them couldn't help but encourage each other with their eyes - Mo Ge'er has been like this for a long time, and he should be fine after this period of time.
Putting aside these minor episodes, the first birthday banquet of the great-grandson of Ningguo Mansion was a complete success.
Everyone got a table of delicious banquets and a lot of gossip to go with the meal.
It can be said that they had a great time eating melons.
The most enjoyable thing is that this kind of watching the melons without involving themselves is simply a double enjoyment.
As for the "golden jade marriage", if Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue want to make trouble, they can wait for them to do it. Anyway, I will never get involved.
It is foreseeable that Jia's mother will not agree, and it will inevitably become a "dog-eat-dog situation", and there is nothing that can be done about it.
Just watch quietly.
After the Lin family reached such a unanimous opinion, everyone started to do their own things.
In fact, Lin Ruhai originally did not want to show Xiao Daiyu to someone so early, but Jia Min was always anxious - mainly because she was afraid that Jia's mother would not abide by martial ethics and come up with some tricks to force the Lin family to submit and force Xiao Daiyu to marry her.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai wanted to compromise. Instead of passively taking a beating, it is better to take the initiative and strike first, to find a good one for his precious daughter, so as to avoid more troubles. This is also the kind-heartedness of Lin Ruhai as an old father who loves his daughter.
What Lin Ruhai did not expect was that he was strongly opposed by Xiao Daiyu and Mo Yu as soon as he tentatively proposed this matter.
Xiao Daiyu is naturally needless to say.
She has always been very ambitious, so if she wants to get engaged, she must not just pick anyone, but must go through an investigation.
It is best to grow up together as childhood sweethearts to know each other's basic character.
This person in the original book is Jia Baoyu, but, to be honest, it may just be because she has seen too few men.
She lost her mother at the age of five and entered the Jia residence at the age of six or seven. In total, she had only seen a few men from the Jia family outside of her own family. Compared with Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and others in the Jia family, Jia Baoyu could really be regarded as a general among dwarfs.
However, what if there was a chance for her to get in touch with all the talented young men of the right age in the whole capital?
Even the princes and sons of similar age in the palace, she could also get in touch with them?
Then the chance of choosing the right candidate would definitely be much greater, maybe she could really choose someone that everyone was satisfied with.
And to achieve this goal, as expected...
[As expected, we still have to set up a school. ]
Mo Yu began to fantasize with great excitement.
[If there is a school, just like the ordinary co-educational schools in the world, young men and women of the right age can study together and enjoy the same campus life. I wonder how wonderful it would be. ]
[Even if the boys and girls are in two separate courtyards, it is okay if they can see each other from a distance. At least there is a chance that the boys and girls schools are next to each other and they can get to know each other. 】
【Don't talk about the no-touch policy. In fact, if everyone is educated, it will be easier to control - they are all well-known families, they can't really do something crazy in broad daylight. 】After
Mo Yu said this, Lin Ruhai, Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu were silent.
They never thought that it was just an ordinary personal marriage issue, but it could lead to so many things.
What "school"?
It has to be co-educational?
Even if it is a "branch school", it has to be next door... Isn't this really a new-style blind date conference?
Although, in this era, it doesn't mean that everyone has to "marry blindly", there are still some opportunities for people who are preparing to get married to meet and get to know each other.
For example, the most convenient way is to "go to the temple", while the most efficient way is to "go for an outing".
There are also the most exciting and interesting "garden tours" and "temple fairs", which really cannot be said to be without opportunities.
However, all these ways of meeting and understanding each other combined are definitely not as good as studying together day and night, which can really be said to be able to fully understand each other.
But is it really possible?
From ancient times to the present, unmarried women and men cannot live in the same room, and there is no precedent for women to study in private schools or the Imperial College.
If my brother Mo wants to do this, he may have to be an enemy of the entire Qing Dynasty, right?
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were very worried, but Xiao Daiyu was very happy when she heard it.
A coeducational private school?
This must be interesting.
In fact, it is better to see what men are like earlier than to marry a stinky man in the future, and then choose one or two reluctantly, which is much better than waiting for death.
Thinking of this, Xiao Daiyu asked Mo Yu: "Brother Mo, what about the "college" that you said you would talk to the emperor last time? How is it going?"
Xiao Daiyu's personality now is quite different from the Lin Daiyu in the original book who always feels sad for the moon and sheds tears for the flowers.
The character of being smart and talented is quite stable, but the problems of self-harm, self-pity, inferiority, and self-contempt, and the problem of always having wild thoughts and internal consumption are completely gone.
In her place was a sunny and cheerful girl - of course, she was still as eloquent as before, but her mentality was much brighter, and she didn't waste time at all.
This is the difference between having family to rely on and not having family to rely on.
Mo Yu looked at Xiao Daiyu like this, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and came back to his senses after a moment.
It turned out that Xiao Daiyu was also asking about this school.
If she hadn't said it, Mo Yu almost forgot that he had thought about giving advice to Master Kang to build a comprehensive university.
Now think about it, there is no need to rush to build a university, and you can build a basic education school first.
Similar to elementary schools and middle schools, even preschool education can be covered.
After all, this is how things are done in the palace now.
The princes were enlightened at the age of five, so the time before the age of twelve was just preschool education and junior high school.
If they want to graduate from high school and take the college entrance examination, they must take three more years of high school courses, and when they are fifteen or sixteen years old, that is the time
. Although it seems earlier than modern people, considering the life span and intellectual development of ancient people, this time is really good.
Although this idea is very good, Mo Yu has been running around with Master Kang all this time, focusing on catching corrupt officials and so on. How can he have the time to report something alone?
Especially for this kind of infrastructure, Master Kang will not agree to it very readily.
This kind of thing will benefit future generations, but it costs money right now, so who can do it?
