The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

In a blink of an eye, it was the announcement day, and I knew that there must be a sea of ​​people outside the tribute courtyard, and Lin Jue didn't go there in person, but just waited at home. Squeezing forward is a thing.

He is not in a hurry, he is in a hurry.Qingsong Qingtong couldn't wait, so she went to take up the seat early, just waiting for the announcement of the ranking, so she could know in advance.Qingying Qinghua was more stable since then, but he couldn't bear it anymore. He walked around the house a few times, and then ran to the gate to look around.

The same goes for Daiyu's side, because Lin Jue in the front yard has visitors for a few days, and it's hard for her to come over, so she sent a rough envoy to come and ask every once in a while.Lin Jue dismissed the old woman four times, and smiled helplessly at Li Yibai: "Everyone in the family is in a panic, but you and I are the only ones idle."

Li Yibai took a sip of tea, "Aren't you in a hurry, I thought everyone was the same as you. It's not easy to get promoted in the imperial examination at this time, and you have a father who is in love, so it's normal for your family to pay more attention to it."

Lin Jue was noncommittal, he didn't have big ambitions, but since he was here, he had to strive for the top, otherwise how would he protect Daiyu and the Lin family in the hands of Jia's family.

Li Yibai looked at Lin Jue distracted, thinking that he said he was not worried, but he still cared a little bit, so he smiled and stretched out his hand, rubbing Lin Jue's cheek lightly with the back of his hand, "You don't have to think too much, left and right It's just an imperial examination, if I say, you don't have to work so hard, there is a gentleman who will take care of you!"

Lin Jue rolled his eyes at him and sneered, "Who is who?"

Li Yibai immediately apologized. He had been sleeping with Lin Jue for the past month, so it was inevitable that he would misfire. Although he didn't make it to the end, he took advantage of a lot. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and hurriedly said: "Look You, I'm in a hurry again, you are the husband, can't you be the husband?"

"Hmph!" Lin Jue snorted coldly and ignored him.

Li Yibai touched his nose embarrassingly, and cursed himself inwardly!In the end, he said countless good things again, coaxing Lin Jue to show his face again, and then he was relieved.After all, we have made further development, but we can't go back to before liberation just because of a joke.

While talking, there was a sudden burst of firecrackers outside, Lin Jue was startled, looked out, and saw Qingying galloping in all the way, shouting as she ran, "I got hit... I got hit... Grandpa hit!" It's..."

Lin Jue maintained his composure, but the smile at the corner of his mouth betrayed his good mood at the moment.Although he didn't pay much attention to this exam, it would be a great joy if he passed the exam.After all, it would be better not to come to the next time for such a tossing three nine-day exams.

Seeing Lin Jue's appearance, Li Yibai was also happy. He knew the result a long time ago, but he didn't disclose it in advance to surprise Lin Jue.Seeing Lin Jue's surprised and joyful appearance at this moment, I feel very satisfied in my heart.

When Qingying came nearby, Lin Juefang smiled and said: "They are all about to get married, why are you so unsteady, let Uncle Zhang see it, but I will talk about you again."

Qingying smiled innocently, "Even if Dad is here, he can only be happy, how can he take care of me."

Lin Jue was also very happy, and went out to meet the officer who reported the report in person, gave a red envelope, and left the two of them to eat. Waiting for the little one to deliver, it’s really not good to keep more.”

Lin Jue knew the truth of it, so he didn't hesitate, the two of them held the red envelope and said some auspicious words, and Fang left in a hurry.After the two of them left, several groups of journalists came gradually, but Lin Jue never saw him again, so he asked Lin Cheng to send them away with a red envelope.

After the reporter left, many people from the street came to congratulate him, and Lin Cheng hurriedly took out the copper coins he had prepared earlier and distributed them.Those who got the rewards naturally said a lot of auspicious words. If they were lucky, they could even get double rewards. For a while, there was a lot of excitement in front of the Lin Mansion.

Later, Lin Ruhai's old friends from the same department sent their family members to congratulate him, and Lin Jue inevitably had to receive them.Li Yibai's status is special, it's not easy to show up, and the list will be released, and the palace examination will be held in a few days, even if he doesn't preside over it, he still has to participate.After Lin Jue finished his work, he heard the letter that Li Yibai had returned home. He knew that it was not easy for Li Yibai to spend so much time with him, and Lin Jue was used to him coming and going.

Daiyu also got the letter, knowing that Lin Jue was on the list, Daiyu was overjoyed.He sent someone over to look at it a couple of times, knowing that Lin Jue was visiting, so he didn't bother.

Lin Jue won the No. 20 gongshi. After passing the palace examination, he can also be a fellow Jinshi for the last time. Although he is not the third gongshi like Lin Ruhai back then, it is not bad, after all, Lin Jue is only one now.Gong Shi at this age is very rare.

Daiyu made the decision to give two months' extra money to the servants in the family, and another month's extra money to the servant girl who served Lin Jue personally, and also rewarded two clothes, and everyone in the mansion was happy for a while.

Since Jia's family is Daiyu's maternal ancestral family and the only in-law of Lin's family, Lin Jue won the Gongshi examination, and then he will be Jinshi.But before he sent someone to go, someone from the Jia family had already come to congratulate him, and he was still an acquaintance.

"It's Lian's second cousin who came. It's been a long time. How is cousin?" Lin Jue greeted Jia Lian with a smile.

Since Jia Lian's concubine gave birth to him a fat son the year before last, Jia Lian's whole appearance has changed.He originally had an official position as a sixth-grade co-prefect by his side, but he was used to idleness in the past and didn't go to the office, but now he goes to the yamen every day.He was already good at common affairs, and now he is favored by some Shangguan, and he is doing very well in the yamen.

Therefore, Jia Lian is very grateful to Lin Jue now.Hearing that Lin Jue was named on the Gold List, the elder would send someone to congratulate him, and he happened to be there, so he took on the job.

Jia Lian smiled and exchanged greetings with Lin Jue, Fang said: "I haven't congratulated Brother Jue yet. I can't imagine how old Brother Jue is now, and he is already a Jinshi master, but I am really envious."

Lin Jue said with a smile: "I'm nothing. Cousin Lian is really high-spirited now, with his lovely wife in his arms and youngest son Cheng Huan. I heard that he just got promoted a few days ago. This is really gratifying and congratulatory."

Jia Lian smiled modestly. He has always been very discerning. Seeing Lin Jue's constant visits, he didn't want to stay any longer. After a few gossips, he left.Lin Jue personally sent the man to the gate, and did not stay in vain. He only said that after a few days of free time, he would invite Jia Lian to come and talk.

A month later, the palace examination came as scheduled.

Lin Jue got up before dawn, got into the carriage with the emblem of the county king that Li Yibai specially came to pick him up, and yawned all the way into the imperial city.When entering the imperial city, unless you are a first-rank official, or a relative of the emperor, you will have to dismount from the sedan chair.

Lin Jue took Li Yibai's carriage, so he didn't have to work hard on his legs. He secretly lifted the curtain to take a look at the passers-by who were on their way. Ren Chaozhong Dayuan had to rely on his own two legs. Cool, it's no wonder that everyone wants to fight for the top, holding power in their hands and overwhelming the world, it's really attractive.

Walking to the inner city, even the prince will get off the sedan chair.

Li Yibai jumped out of the carriage, stretched out his hand to help Lin Jue down, and handed him over to the chief eunuch, "This person is a young friend of the king, please take care of me."

The father-in-law knew the king of Yonghe County, so he hurriedly bowed in response.

Li Yibai turned around and told Lin Jue that he was in the palace after all, so it's not too much, he said a few words, and then left to go to court.

Lin Jue waited for a while with the crowd, and then saw a eunuch who passed the decree came and called all the tributes to Baohe Palace to take the exam.The eunuch who was leading the attendant before took everyone to the Palace of Preservation. Lin Jue was a step behind and hung at the back, silently looking at the scenery in the palace as he walked.

After everyone entered the Palace of Preserving Harmony, the leading eunuch walked up to Lin Jue and said with a respectful smile, "Lin Gongshi ranks 21st on the Gold List, and his position is here."

Lin Jue was led to his seat, thanked the eunuch with a smile, and sat down.

After all the tributes were seated, there was a servant handing out rolls of paper. This was the re-examination, mainly to eliminate those who bribed and those who came in by cheating without real talent and learning.Lin Jue had been prepared for a long time. Unless he was a worthless person, such a re-examination would hardly eliminate anyone.

After finishing the policy theory in a smooth and smooth manner, and checking that there is no problem, Fang carefully copied it on the test paper.

When it was time, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony collected the test papers again. After the papers were sealed and sealed, all the tributes were called up, and the eunuch in charge took them out again.After leaving the inner city, all the tribute scholars bowed their hands and said goodbye to each other. Without accidents, they are all scholars of the same discipline. Do the offending thing.

Lin Jue also bid farewell to everyone, and after they left in twos and threes, he followed Li Yibai's servants into the carriage waiting at the side.

"My lord told me to send Uncle Lin back first. If there is nothing wrong with my uncle, I will send you back here."

Lin Jue leaned against the side of the carriage and said, "No need, wait for your master to come out and walk together."

When Li Yibai came out, Lin Jue had already fallen asleep leaning against the carriage.Li Yibai asked the servant, knowing that Lin Jue was waiting for him, he was very happy in his heart.But it was only May at this time, and the sky was still a bit chilly, so Li Yibai couldn't help feeling distressed again.

After all, he was not willing to wake Lin Jue up, so he took off his outer shirt and put it on Lin Jue, and gently made someone lean on him, before he asked the servant to start the carriage.

Three to five days after the re-examination, it will be the official palace examination.Still in the Hall of Preserving Harmony, Lin Jue was caught among the crowd, in a position neither forward nor backward.After paying homage to the emperor and shouting long live three times, the eunuch in charge called out to get up.Lin Jue looked at his nose, his nose, his heart, and listened to the eunuch calling several people's names, and these people went to answer the emperor one by one.After a while, he heard someone call his name.

Lin Jue stepped out of the line, took a few steps forward to pay homage to the Holy Majesty, waited for the Holy Majesty to shout, then got up, bowed and nodded.

Lin Jue's etiquette was taught by Li Yibai himself, so no one could fault it. Seeing that Lin Jue was much calmer than the last time he entered the palace, the emperor nodded in satisfaction.

"Lin Jue is only one year old, right?"

Emperor Hongzheng asked about his age instead of the article. Lin Jue was slightly surprised, but he didn't show it at all. He said respectfully, "The student will be full in two months."

Emperor Hongzheng nodded in satisfaction, and said to an old minister beside him, "Does Maoqing look familiar to him?"

"Looking at the old minister, there is a faint shadow of Hongzheng's Tanhua Linhai in 43 years." He asked Lin Jue, "Your surname is Lin? Could it be the orphan of Lord Lin who went to Beijing three years ago?"

Without Lin Jue answering, he listened to Emperor Hongzheng saying: "Mao Qing has good eyesight, he is Lin Hai's son Lin Jue and Lin Jinyu whom I mentioned to you earlier."

Gu Maoqing stroked the beautiful beard on his chin, nodded and praised: "Jinyu, Meiyu, this son deserves it."

Emperor Hongzheng laughed loudly, "Okay, Maoqing and I thought of going together. Back then, Lin Hai was talented and his face was like a crown jade. Today, his son is no different. In that case, I ordered Lin Jue Exploring flowers is also a beautiful story."
