Lin Daiyu was stunned. She really hadn't thought about this problem. After thinking for a moment, she was surprised and said, "It should be four to five million words!"

With one sentence, everyone present was so shocked that they opened their mouths and didn't know what to say.

It is difficult for ordinary people to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics. How difficult is it to memorize them backwards and forwards?

This suddenly overturned the previous views of the female relatives of the Jia family towards Shi Zhongkui's nickname of "Idiot".

Yingchun, Tanchun and Lin Daiyu even thought that this person probably focused all his attention on reading, which made him appear impersonal and worldly.

But when I think about the poem advising people to be humble, it doesn’t make sense at all.

In the end, Jia Mu sighed and said, "It seems that Mr. Shi has been hiding his clumsiness in the past. It was only after he learned from a famous teacher and gained support that he became famous."

"Yes, mother and son think so too."

After Jia She finished speaking, he looked at Jia Mu and saw the old lady nodding.

Then he continued with peace of mind, "Moreover, what you don't know is that I heard that Shi Boqian composed that poem on the spot in just a cup of tea in order to solve his teacher's troubles.

How could such a filial and clever child be an idiot?"

Jia Mu and the others couldn't help but nod again.

Jia She took a look and guessed that Jia's mother might have the same idea of ​​recruiting a son-in-law like him.

He continued without missing a second, "It's a pity that Yu Honggao picked up a good apprentice for free.

And after today, when Shi Boqian's name spreads among scholars, Yu Honggao will definitely benefit a lot.

When Shi Boqian actually passes the Jinshi examination, or even becomes the number one scholar, I don't know who will get the advantage."

Now let alone Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, and Li Wan all heard what Jia She meant.

After Lin Ruhai passed the college entrance examination, Jia Daishan almost passed the exam to catch his son-in-law. When his daughter Jia Min got married, she was even more glamorous and made a big deal.

And this marriage did bring a lot of rewards to the Jia family.

After all, those who helped the emperor make money must be the ones who are always remembered. Unfortunately, the emperor became the supreme emperor, Lin Ruhai died early, and the Jia family was cut off from their biggest foreign aid.

Mother Jia secretly thought that it was time to find new help for the Jia family.

He ordered Lin Daiyu, Jia Baoyu, Sanchun, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and the maids to go back and rest.

Jia She and Jia Zheng originally wanted to drive away Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, but seeing that Jia's mother didn't speak, they gave it up after thinking about it.

After all the juniors had left, Jia Mu looked at Jia Lian and asked, "Lian'er, you have had contact with Shi Boqian. What is his character like?"

Jia Lian hurriedly replied, "Old lady, I have been ordered to handle foreign affairs over the years, and I have seen quite a few young heroes.

But there is no one that I really admire, but Shi Boqian, I can only say that there is no one better than him among his peers."

Mrs. Wang said with some jealousy, "Lian'er, are you trying to trick the old lady?"

It's a pity that Mrs. Wang didn't know what Jia Mu was thinking this time, so Jia Mu smiled and waved her hand, "Okay, old lady, I believe Lian Er wouldn't dare to deceive me in front of his father."

Because Jia She got a fan from Jia Lian, he unexpectedly praised him, "Lian'er really paid attention this time. Not only did he do what he was told well, but he also hit it off with Shi Boqian.

They even gave us a lot of good things."

When Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang heard that there was something good, they immediately looked at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian pointed to the dried fruits on the table with a smile on his face and said, "Old lady, these fine dried fruits were sent by Shi Xiandi.

Moreover, Shi Xiandi took out all the spices given by friends without any secret.

Yesterday, when Xue Pan and Feng Ziying and I were drinking, barbecuing and chatting at brother Shi Xian's house, they were waiting on the side and their mouths were watering all night just by smelling the spices.

If the old lady wants to take a look, I will order someone to prepare it."

Jia Lian's words contained selfishness. He only talked about the spices but not the formula. His purpose was simply not to make some by himself and make some extra money.

After saying this, Jia Lian, who remembered that the spices were a bit spicy, quickly added, "However, Brother Shi's spices are very good.

But one bad thing is that this spice tastes spicy. People who like it like it very much, but people who don't like it really can't stand the spiciness."

Jia Mu didn't care at all about this. What she was thinking about was why someone sent spices to Shi Zhongkui.

As soon as Mrs. Wang heard the spice recipe, her heart moved and she told Jia Lian, "Lian'er, you can go to Shi's house tomorrow and ask about it. If there is any, buy more.

In case a guest comes to my house and mentions this spice, the house will be poorly prepared and lose dignity."

"Madam, this is really hard for my nephew."

Jia Lian heard that Mrs. Wang's purpose was not the so-called dignity, and shook her head with a helpless expression, "It's not that my nephew is unwilling to contribute, but that they scholars are not ashamed to talk about money. If you ask too much, you will offend others."

When Jia Mu and others heard this, they knew that Jia Lian was right.

Seeing that Jia's mother was silent, Jia Lian quickly changed the subject and said, "Moreover, Shi Xiandi can have this spice because after the imperial examination, a boy whose ancestral home was Wannian County, Chang'an came to ask for advice.

The two hit it off immediately, and Shi Xiandi was even willing to let the other party copy a copy of the notes and insights he left behind while studying.

The other party was grateful, so he gave Shi Xiandi this spice that was brought from the Western Regions."

Hearing that it was a gift from someone else, Mrs. Jia Muwang and others immediately lost their thoughts.

But Jia Zheng was thinking, if Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan followed them to study, would they also be able to pass the examination as scholars?

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng stood up and said to Jia Mu, "Mother, do you think you should let Baoyu and Lan'er carry heavy gifts, then perform discipleship rituals and study with Shi Boqian?"

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up, while Jia She simply took the opportunity to stand up and said, "Old lady, we are preparing for the hospital examination at the beginning of August and the provincial examination at the end of August.

How is it possible to teach Baoyu and Laner to read?

Moreover, how could Baoyu and Shi Zhongkui be of the same generation as disciples?

For the sake of the two children, it is better to recruit Jia Boqian as my son-in-law."

Jia's mother had already guessed what Jia She was thinking, and knew that he did not want Shi Zhongkui to be Gao Baoyu's generation, and then become Yingchun's uncle.

And now that there are so many benefits to recruiting Shi Zhongkui as his grandson-in-law, he can't help but start to get interested.

Jia Lian probably did not have to worry about taking responsibility because Xia Shouzhong came to visit.

He also thought that having a well-known scholar as his brother-in-law would not only make him look good, but he could also take advantage of Shi Zhongkui's opportunity to get a way to purchase spices from the Western Regions.

It is both famous and profitable, how could Jia Lian give up such a good thing?

Busy Ye stood up and said, "Old lady, Bo Qian is so talented, so his fame shouldn't be a problem.

Boqian is just 20 years old this year, and Yingchun is already 15 and will be married in a year or two.

However, if Bo Qian's wise brother has passed the examination of being a scholar and a successful candidate, there will definitely be more people wanting to recruit Bo Qian as their son-in-law.

Even the elders from the Imperial Palace and Bo Qian's sect may have already had this idea in mind."
