To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

Lin Ruhai's discussion went smoothly. Jia She and Jia Jing both thought the plan was feasible. Jia She narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying:

"That's why it's so easy to be an official if you have connections in the court. Come on, brother will treat you today, so you can have a couple of extra drinks!"

Jia Jing and Jia Zheng followed suit, saying, "That's quite right. It's the duty of ministers to share the worries of the sage!"

A group of grown men gathered together to eat and drink. Jia She asked the kitchen to send a table, and several people sat together and clinked glasses.

On Lady Jia's side, the three girls, Yingchun, Xichun and Tanchun, came to Lady Jia's residence accompanied by maids and servants.

After a few people exchanged greetings, Lin Jinyu was called away by Lin Ruhai, and the men in the front yard began to drink.

Lin Ruhai never let his son be surrounded by women, and what was discussed in the front yard was what his son should participate in.

Jia Jing, who was a successful candidate in the imperial examinations, loved to test the performance of his juniors, and Jia Zheng also felt that he was a scholar.

I also wanted to see how talented the Lin family's children were. I couldn't compare to my brother-in-law in any way, but maybe my son could?

Lin Jinyu came to a group of elders and was not at all nervous. In recent years, Lin Ruhai took his son to participate in all the activities.

Lin Jinyu has learned a lot from her parents over the years. Jia Jing, Jia Zheng and Jia She couldn't help but nod secretly when they saw the child performing the ceremony with such grace and elegance.

Jia She was a man of few words: "My nephew looks good, and I'm not exaggerating as his uncle. He is so young and has a good sense of discipline. He will definitely be extraordinary in the future."

Someone, come here, bring me those Song Dynasty books that I collected last time, as well as the new chengni inkstone that was delivered this year, yes, the top one!

Nephew, take this thing your uncle gave you and play with it. If you want to use it later, just tell your uncle. This isn't a place for others!"

Jia Jing sat there and began to examine Lin Jinyu's homework: "Only when you know your limits can you be determined, only when you are determined can you be calm, only when you are calm can you be at peace, only when you are at peace can you think, and only when you think can you achieve. What is the meaning?"

Lin Jinyu thought for a moment and said, "Knowing when to stop is the key to success.

Today, people rush and compete for material things, their minds constantly agitated. They don't understand the profound principle of "knowing when to stop leads to stability; when stable, tranquility follows; when tranquil, peace follows; when peaceful, consideration follows; and when consideration follows, achievement follows." To stop doesn't mean to stop the body's movements, but to stop the desires of the mind. It's like steering a boat through a river without knowing where to moor; it will surely be overturned by the waves. Therefore, only by understanding when to stop can the mind find stability, like an anchor sunk to the bottom of the abyss, unmoved by the current.

A calm mind is a peaceful place, free from disturbances. Despite the clamor of external worlds, my heart remains at peace. Stillness, like still water, reveals the essence of the soul. Within stillness, the spirit finds peace. Peaceful energy flows smoothly, and the spirit is harmonious. Undeterred by gains and losses, unmoved by honor and disgrace. In a state of peace, thoughts are clear, enabling one to distinguish right from wrong, truth from falsehood, and discern subtle opportunities. Approaching matters with consideration, meticulous planning leads to the proper conduct of all actions, and the hope of success. This is the root of success.

In the past, Fan Li assisted Yue in conquering Wu, but after achieving success and fame, he retired to the countryside, enjoying a peaceful and prosperous life. Wen Zhong, however, did not stop and ultimately brought disaster upon himself. From this perspective, the wisdom of knowing when to stop is the foundation of all conduct. Those who can adhere to this principle will navigate life's challenges with ease and ultimately achieve success, enjoying lasting blessings. Isn't that wise?

This made Jia Jing's hair stand on end. He reached out and took off the Hetian white jade pendant he had worn for decades from his waist.

"This boy Ru Hai will become a great man in the future! The Lin family will have a successor!

Good boy, this is my uncle's jade pendant, which he's worn for decades. Now it's yours! I haven't met such a spiritual child in all these years!

Young and promising! Young and promising! "

The Chinese parent's modesty kicked in immediately. Lin Ruhai was overjoyed when people praised Lin Jinyu, but couldn't express their pride and had to belittle their son. That's what a father should be!

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said modestly: "Big brother, you are too kind. How old is he? How many books has he read? He is still far from it!

You evil creature, why don’t you thank your uncle quickly? This is a treasure from the previous dynasty’s palace. Your uncle has been wearing it for many years!

You better be careful, or you'll get hurt if you get hurt."

Jia Zheng swallowed all the tests, and his level was not even a fraction of Jia Jing's.

Jia Zheng also loved talents and ordered his servants:

"I've got a new box of Hu brushes and a box of Ziyan Hui ink in my study. Bring that new set of the Four Books and Five Classics to Jin'er, too!"

No one else is worthy of these good things! My heart is filled with joy as soon as I see this child!"

Lin Ruhai said hurriedly: "Second brother is too good. He is just a child and you don't deserve him to be praised so much! You should leave some for Baoyu."

Lin Ruhai's joke reminded Jia Zheng that no one knew where this beast had gone.

Jia Zheng hurriedly called to the servant, "Go and guard the door. If you see Baoyu, tell him to come in and stop him from making trouble all day long!"

Jia Zheng had a good idea. With two successful candidates here, he could just give his son some guidance on his studies and his son would benefit from it.

When the elders drink, Lin Jinyu is responsible for pouring wine for them, and naturally serves as a waiter.

Jia Zhen, who had a son, was also pulled over to serve because of his younger generation, as were Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan. The meeting with Lin Daiyu that was about to begin was also disrupted.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, before he could go to Grandmother Jia's room, he was intercepted by Jia Zheng, and Jia Baoyu was also waiting on the side.

A few adults were chatting while the younger ones were sitting nearby, half-sitting on their chairs, keeping their eyes and ears open.

Although Lin Jinyu was young, she was very familiar with this job. Since Jia Baoyu was usually afraid of Jia Zheng, he served her very well during the banquet.

But could Lin Ruhai let them go? He couldn't. He had to examine their homework one by one.

Jia Lan did well in his studies, so Lin Ruhai took off the jade pendant from his waist and gave it to Jia Lan as a reward.

Jia Zhen and Jia Baoyu received a set of newly made Duan inkstones and high-quality Xuan paper.

Jia Jing and Jia Zheng, who were being tested on their son's homework, became increasingly gloomy and decided to punish him when they got home tonight.

Jia Zheng also looked at Jia Lan with admiration and began to pay special attention to this eldest grandson!

So whether Baoyu can go crazy depends on the situation. If he dares to go crazy in front of Jia Zheng, he will definitely be beaten half to death.

When Lady Jia learned that Baoyu had been called away by his father again, she could do nothing about it. Since Lin Ruhai rarely came over, it was only right for her to accompany him.

Grandmother Jia also gave up the little thought in her mind, as she had originally thought that Lin Daiyu was young and naive.

Maybe she would be attracted to Baoyu, but she was old and shrewd, and the people Lin Daiyu brought with her today had opened her eyes.

Lin Ruhai's love for his daughters was deep in his bones. The two old maids from the palace looked like tough characters who had fought their way up through life.

The maids under her are all very capable, and their manners are so strict that no one can get out of their way.

Grandmother Jia was convinced. Lin Daiyu now behaved like a real rich lady.

The servants in the Jia family were also enlightened. The rules for the Lin family's servants were really strict. So many servants who loved to visit the family couldn't get anything out of them.

Grandmother Jia looked at her mature granddaughter and said, "You are too steady, child. I have a second-class maid named Yingge as a reward for you.

It’s better to be a little noisy at a young age, so as not to lose the fun of being a child. Let her play with you!
