Chapter 188: Beat your brother as early as possible

Lin House.

yard.

Confucius said: "To learn something and at due times to practice it, is that not a pleasure?"

Lin Ziyu was reciting his lessons, swaying his head back and forth.

Beside her, Lin Daiyu sat on a stone stool, cracking melon seeds.

There was also a ruler on the table.

"Ziyu, let me test you."

Lin Daiyu spoke up and made a comment.

Lin Ziyu quickly sat up straight and said seriously, "Sister, please test me. I can already recite it."

"Ah, very good."

Lin Daiyu smiled slightly and asked, "What do you mean by 'Since we're here, let's make the best of it'?"

Without hesitation, Lin Ziyu replied, "It means that now that we've brought them here, we need to settle them down."

"Hands out."

Lin Daiyu nodded gently and said.

Lin Ziyu stretched out her palm, bewildered.

*Smack!*

The ruler struck Lin Ziyu's palm, and Lin Ziyu cried out in pain.

"Sister, why did you hit me?"

With tears in his eyes, he asked with a wronged expression.

Lin Daiyu said, "Your explanation is good, but not complete."

"impossible."

Lin Ziyu hurriedly said, "That's what the teacher meant."

"How dare you talk back?"

Lin Daiyu, with a stern face, raised the ruler, startling the maids around her so much that their hearts jumped into their throats.

They were anxious, but dared not stop them.

They're all young masters; if the older sister hits her younger brother, would you dare to stop her?

Lin Ziyu shrank back and asked in a low voice, "Then, sister, what do you think is still missing?"

Lin Daiyu then spoke softly, “Since we’re here, let’s make the best of it; there’s another layer of meaning to that.”

"Another meaning of this statement is, since you're here, bury yourself here."

"Do you understand?"

Her words left Lin Ziyu completely bewildered.

"Ah, I understand."

He nodded hurriedly in response.

If I don't answer, my older sister will hit me with her ruler.

Lin Daiyu asked again, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening. What is the meaning of this sentence?"

"It means... if you attain enlightenment in the morning, you would be content to die that very night?"

Lin Ziyu gave an uncertain answer.

"The explanation is correct, but not complete."

Lin Daiyu raised the ruler and gestured with her eyes, and Lin Ziyu obediently extended his palm.

Pa~!

Another stroke of the ruler, and Lin Ziyu winced and hissed in pain.

You should discipline your younger brother as early as possible.

Lin Daiyu said slowly, "There's another meaning to that, which is that if they find out the way to your house this morning, you're doomed to die tonight."

"Huh?" Lin Ziyu stared at her sister with her mouth agape.

This can also be interpreted in this way.

real or fake?

"understand?"

Lin Daiyu scolded.

"Oh, I understand, I understand."

Lin Ziyu nodded quickly.

"Then let me ask you another question: what is the explanation of 'Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you'?"

She asked another question.

Lin Ziyu frowned and said, "Does that mean you shouldn't impose things on others that you yourself don't want to do?"

"Yes, but it's still a bit lacking."

Lin Daiyu raised the ruler, and her younger brother obediently reached out his hand.

Pa~!

Another stroke of the ruler landed, and the little palm turned red.

Lin Ziyu hung her head, her face contorted with grief, and asked, "Sister, what's the other meaning?"

Lin Daiyu then explained, "The other meaning is that if I don't like or want something, others can't take it either, because I don't allow it."

"Oh~~" Lin Ziyu suddenly realized.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. If you don't like something or don't want something, others certainly shouldn't take it.

Because I won't allow it.

"Alright, that's all for today's literature lesson. Now it's time for your martial arts practice."

Lin Daiyu picked up the ruler and said.

Lin Ziyu looked distressed upon hearing this: "Ah, sister, I still have to practice martial arts?"

"Of course, if you study literature but don't practice martial arts, you'll end up with nothing."

"Stand over there and get into a horse stance!"

Lin Daiyu, with a stern face, picked up a ruler and gave him a scolding.

Lin Ziyu stood there obediently and began to practice the horse stance according to her sister's instructions.

"..."

Beside them, a group of maids looked at each other in bewilderment.

Looking at the siblings in front of her, she wanted to offer some advice but didn't dare to speak.

Since Lin Daiyu said she would teach her younger brother to read, Lin Ruhai happily agreed.

Moreover, during this time, Lin Ziyu's health improved day by day, and his wife Jia Min also recovered, making Lin Ruhai feel extremely relieved.

At the beginning, when Lin Daiyu was teaching Lin Ziyu, she used a ruler to discipline her younger brother.

As a result, Lin Ziyu's nanny stepped forward and scolded him.

Finally, Lin Daiyu slapped her in the mouth with a ruler and made her kneel for an entire afternoon. From then on, no one dared to interfere or even reprimand Miss Lin.

As for the complaint, Lin Ruhai, seeing how well his children got along, naturally wouldn't believe it and even fired the wet nurse.

In addition to Jia Min, Lin Ruhai also had two concubines in his household, namely Lin Daiyu's aunts.

However, after being scolded by her, these two concubines never dared to cause trouble again.

How to reprimand someone?

No need to ask, just hit him with a ruler until his bottom is sore and he'll behave.

From that day on, no one in the Lin family dared to say a single bad word about Lin Daiyu.

"Sister, is it time yet?"

Lin Ziyu was covered in sweat, his legs were trembling, and he looked like he was about to collapse.

But he dared not get up, because his sister was holding a ruler, and if he did not behave well, his sister would really hit him.

Moreover, the beating was extremely painful, yet there wasn't a single injury. Complaining to my parents was completely useless.

"almost."

Lin Daiyu glanced at him and nodded: "Someone, help my brother back to his room so he can have a good medicinal bath."

"Yes, girl."

Lin Ziyu's two personal maids hurriedly stepped forward and helped Lin Ziyu back to her room, one on each side.

He was given a medicinal bath, which Lin Daiyu had prepared for him.

The effect is naturally to strengthen the body, toughen the body, and make martial arts training easier step by step.

She valued her younger brother very much.

The only son of the Lin family.

He will inherit the Lin family mansion in the future, and the empire he is preparing to build will also be inherited by his younger brother.

"Little brother, your older sister has been good to you enough."

Lin Daiyu muttered to herself that she had put in a lot of effort to raise a qualified younger brother.

"Xueyan, it's your turn."

She turned around, startling Xueyan behind her.

Yes, it's Xueyan's turn to learn martial arts next.

Xueyan wore a bitter expression, but still obediently followed the girl's instructions to practice martial arts.

Believe it or not, her body has been changing day by day since she started practicing martial arts.

My legs are stronger, and my hands are more powerful.

In this way, the days passed day by day.

Under Lin Daiyu's strict tutelage, Lin Ziyu grew up quickly.

Not only in terms of physical fitness, but also in terms of academic and martial arts skills, there has been tremendous progress.

Lin Ruhai was overjoyed to see his son grow stronger and healthier every day.

If it weren't for Lin Daiyu secretly preparing medicine to regulate his body, Lin Ruhai's health probably wouldn't have lasted many more years.

Peaceful days are, after all, fleeting.

That day, Lin Ruhai received an imperial edict.

"Father, are you going to Yangzhou to take up your new post?"

While they were eating, Lin Daiyu asked a question.

Originally, one should not speak while eating.

But Lin Ruhai, preoccupied with his own thoughts, didn't pay attention and nodded naturally when his daughter asked.

"Yes, the Emperor has appointed me as the Salt Commissioner of Yangzhou."

He mentioned this.

"The Salt Inspector is a thankless and arduous job that offends various powerful figures. Does the person above want Father's life?"

A casual remark from Lin Daiyu.

Lin Ruhai was nearly scared to death and hurriedly looked around.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Lin Ruhai gave a stern reprimand.

Lin Daiyu, knowing his unwavering loyalty, realized he was unfit to be emperor.

She can only train her younger brother, become empress herself first, and then pass the throne to her brother Lin Ziyu.

As for Lin Ruhai, he should just stay a respectable retired emperor.

"Little brother, study hard, and your big sister will give you a big gift in the future."

Lin Daiyu patted Lin Ziyu, who was silently eating next to her.

"Yeah yeah~~"

Lin Ziyu nodded repeatedly, her mouth stuffed full of food.

He's been practicing martial arts lately, and his appetite has been growing.

"Eat slowly, look at you, don't choke—"

Jia Min, with a loving yet happy expression, served her son food.

A son who can eat a lot is a blessing!

"eat more."

Lin Ruhai smiled too. His children's health and his own body getting better and better made him feel as if he had been given a new lease on life.

Now he's been promoted again, and life seems to be getting better and better.
