"Father-in-law, you don't have to worry."
"Just imagine how strong the soldiers who lead troops in battle are, and how rarely they fall sick.
Why were most of the civil officials ill for a long time?
Moreover, he doesn't even have the strength to fight back."
Yuan Ye said when he saw Lin Ruhai's expression.
"This is naturally because soldiers need to constantly train and strengthen their bodies. Otherwise, how can they fight?
As for us civil officials, we deal with official business and study every day. Naturally, we can't compare to the soldiers.”
Lin Ruhai didn't understand, but he still replied to Yuan Ye.
"That's right. That's why people need to train.
If he didn't exercise, his body would naturally be weak.
Father-in-law just said that Yu 'Er should exercise. Actually, father-in-law, you should exercise every day when you have nothing to do. Otherwise, even if you obtain wealth and splendor, what can you do? If your body is weak, you will empty your body in advance. When you want to enjoy it, you can only watch the delicacies and not enjoy them.”
"Let's not talk about the distant ones.”
"The eldest son of the second branch of the Jia family who died young entered school at the age of fourteen. What kind of talent is this?
He married and had children at the age of 20. He should have a bright future, bringing honor to his ancestors and family, but in the end, he still died of illness.
But why did he die of illness?
It was all because the Jia family had too much expectations of Jia Zhu, causing her to only study and not have any private time.
In the long run, even if his body did not fall sick, it would already be as weak as rotten wood.”
In order to persuade Lin Ruhai, Yuan Ye directly brought out Jia Zhu, who had long died in the Jia family.
Jia Zhu was weak and the imperial examination lasted for three days. During these three days, he ate simple food and had no place to sleep. When he was tired, he would lie on the table and sleep. He could not leave his seat before he finished answering the questions.
Therefore, Jia Zhu relied on her own health to persevere. In the end, she fell seriously ill and passed away after becoming a scholar.
He left behind the grief of the Jia family and the lonely Li Wan and his son Jia Lan to live a hard life.
Although Jia Zhu was doted on by the Jia family when he was alive, after his death, his wife and son seemed to have been forgotten by the Jia family.
She received the same monthly salary as YiNiang, which was only better than the servant girls at home.
Even Jia Zheng's wife, Jia Lan's paternal grandfather and grandmother, did not care about their situation.
Jia Zheng was a hypocrite. When he had the time, he would either drag his fair-weather friends to recite poems, discuss the past, and the present to play or look for incense in the residence.
As for Madam Wang, there was no need to mention her. She was wholeheartedly devoted to Jia Baoyu and treated him as her life.
As for when they sent Jia Yuanchun into the palace, the two of them didn't say anything.
One had to know that Jia Yuanchun was going as a talent show.
Being chosen by the Emperor meant that the entire Jia family would benefit from his success. However, if he was not chosen to be a palace maid and died in the palace, no one in the Jia family would know.
The death of a palace maid in the palace would not be widely publicized, and palace maids were not qualified to be visited by their families.
If Jia Yuanchun hadn't been conferred the title of Consort Xiande, no one in the Jia Clan would have remembered it even until their deaths.
From this, it could be seen how cold-blooded Jia Jia Zheng and Madam Wang were.
Madam Wang had learned the essence from Grandmother Jia.
"I've said everything I need to say, but I have one last thing to say to father-in-law.”
Lin Ruhai looked at Yuan Ye in confusion.
"Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles," Yuan Ye said.
Teaching from books was not as good as experiencing it personally.”
Lin Ruhai was instantly stunned.
"Reading ten thousand books is not as good as walking ten thousand miles. Reading ten thousand books is not as good as walking ten thousand miles. Reading ten thousand books…"
"Alright, alright."
"Listening to your words today is better than reading ten years of books.”
Lin Ruhai clapped his hands and laughed as he praised Yuan Ye.
Yuan Ye rolled his eyes after hearing that. Well, saying so much was like farting. It was better to say it directly.
It was true. Even if he said a thousand words, it was better to say one sentence to his heart.
"Alright, father-in-law, eat some meat."
Yuan Ye picked up a piece of meat from the pot and placed it in Lin Ruhai's bowl.
"Alright, alright.
I'll definitely write this down and frame it when I get back.”
Lin Ruhai was still not in the mood to go down.
He smiled and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
"Mmm, delicious…this…is too delicious.”
"This hotpot is actually so delicious."
Lin Ruhai was stunned after taking the first bite.
What kind of immortal smell was this?
He had also eaten many delicacies. Even the imperial cuisine of the imperial palace had been eaten a few times, but none of them could compare to this taste. (This was a fresh taste. Of course, he couldn't resist the temptation of hotpot.)）
"Father-in-law, eat more if it's delicious."
Yuan Ye said with a smile.
"Mmm, delicious."
"By the way, I heard that you published a book about ghosts and gods.”
Lin Ruhai praised as he ate and asked Yuan Ye.
"That's right. I had nothing to do, so I wrote it down.
It's also good to earn some money to support the family."
Yuan Ye said to Lin Ruhai with a smile.
"You're not earning some money to subsidize your family, right? This silver is like a windfall.
I reckon that many young ladies are infatuated with you now.”
Lin Ruhai teased Yuan Ye with a smile.
"At least I don't have to worry about money in the future and Yu 'Er can live a good life with me.”
Yuan Ye said with a smile.
"You can't say that. After all, merchants are at the bottom. If you lack money, just tell me. In the future, won't the Lin family's assets belong to you and Yu 'Er?”
Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said to Yuan Ye.
"I understand.
However, people still had to rely on themselves.
He couldn't just rely on his father-in-law to take care of him.
Besides, it wasn't good to just sit around and do nothing.”
Yuan Ye revealed a humble expression and said to Lin Ruhai.
"Yes, I'm relieved that you think so.”
Lin Ruhai felt gratified after hearing this.
The more he looked at Yuan Ye, the more satisfied he became.
He was proud of his foresight.
……
After the meal, Lin Ruhai and Yuan Ye drank two glasses of wine before stopping.
Then, he asked the servant girl to look at Lin Daiyu, who was still unconscious.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai and Yuan Ye went straight to Rong Mansion without waiting for Lin Daiyu.
When they arrived at the Rong Mansion, they did not let the two of them go through the West Gate.
It was because a person had just received news that Lin Ruhai had been conferred the title of First Rank Crown Prince Grand Tutor.
He was a first-grade official.
No matter how arrogant the Rong Mansion was, they had to give face to a Rank One official.
If Lin Ruhai was allowed to enter the West Gate, even if Lin Ruhai did not say anything, it would be a slap to the imperial court's face.
Was he planning to rebel by not putting a first-grade official in his eyes?
Moreover, Yuan Ye had never walked past the West Gate. He had always swaggered in.
Even if someone tried to stop them, they would still fight their way in.
"Mother-in-law, Lin Hai is busy with official business in the capital.”
"I also brought some Yangzhou specialties for mother-in-law this time.”
When he came to Grandmother Jia's place, Lin Ruhai had done all the etiquette he could to greet Grandmother Jia, and no one could find any fault with him.
As for Yangzhou specialties, they were not expensive.
