The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

After the Luming Banquet, the No. [-] scholar Su Jie'an was awarded the editor by the Imperial Academy, and the second place Qi Wenzhao Tanhua Lin Juetong was awarded the editor by the Imperial Academy.The rest can take the exam, and those who pass the exam will be Shu Jishi, and those who fail or fail to take the exam will be assigned to various ministries or sent out as officials.

The Hanlin Academy is the most noble place, and there is such a rule in the officialdom: non-jinshi do not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin do not enter the cabinet.Every year, many Jinshi squeeze their heads to take the exam, but there are very few who pass the exam.And even if you pass the exam and become a good scholar, you have to wait three years to pass the exam before you will be awarded the editor of the Imperial Academy.This is also the reason why Lin Jue was exceptionally promoted as Tanhua, one of the top three tripods, and was able to enter the Imperial Academy directly, which aroused the envy and jealousy of others.

Sanding armor is generally not released outside. If there is a chance to enter the Imperial Academy, one step further is to reach the sky in one step. No one will let the Imperial Academy not enter, but they must be released to do practical work.Naturally, Lin Ruhai was an exception. Of course, the inside story of Lin Ruhai's overseas release was extremely complicated. The emperor treated Lin Jue so favorably now, which meant that he did not mean to compensate Lin Ruhai.

Lin's family got rid of filial piety this year, and Lin Jue won the Tanhua again in one fell swoop, and was awarded the title of editor of the Imperial Academy.Although the official position is not high, it is noble.Because many of Lin Ruhai's close friends and old friends sent their family members to congratulate him, now a banquet is a must.

The Lin family's foundation in Beijing is still shallow, and their connections are still left by Lin Ruhai in the past. Without the management for many years, it is already very weak.In addition, Lin Jue was wearing filial piety when he first entered Beijing, so it was not easy to visit him casually, so he was delayed all the time.

Now that Lin Jue had passed the Jinshi examination and was appointed by the emperor as Tanhua, several families resumed walking with the Lin family.Lin Jue didn't mind them acting like this. After all, Lin Ruhai had already passed away, and it was friendship to still move around, and it was normal not to move around anymore.

All people in the world tend to pursue profit, this is human nature, Lin Jue doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, let alone feel sad.It's him, does he have any feelings for those people, just to use each other.Now that he has passed the Tanhua examination and entered the Hanlin Academy, those people will see the value in him and see his future, and they will start to get close to him.

He is not afraid of their betrayal in the future, he is confident that he can reach a high position step by step, and when he really stands at the top, no one will want to betray him.Everything else is false, only benefits are real, Lin Jue sees it very clearly.

There are very few relatives in the Lin family, that is, the family members of the Jia family who are in-laws, and Lin Jue's mentor, Luo Song, and his apprentices.When he was in Yangzhou, he only went to the academy to study for a few days, but he didn't have a deep friendship with others, and he only had a few more words with Su Zhuangyuan, who was ranked second in the same class.

Although he doesn't really want to pay attention to the Jia family, now is not a good time to break up with the Jia family, and the Jia family is Daiyu's natal family, so it is really unreasonable not to invite them.

Moreover, the Jia family is always the one who favors the low and the high. Now that he has passed the examination and entered the Hanlin Academy, although he is only a seventh-rank official, his future has a limitless future. Even if it is not clear, the Jia family will come by itself.When it gets out, the Jia family will not look good, but will it be of any benefit to his Lin family?Now that things have happened, Lin Jue doesn't mind saving the face of the Jia family.

Thinking about it this way, there are not many people to invite, so it is easy to arrange.

On the day of rest, Lin's house was cleaned up, and Daiyu also dressed up. Today, Lin Jue is receiving guests in the front yard, and Daiyu is also going to receive the female relatives in the backyard.

Since the Lin family does not have a headed mistress, there are no female relatives from other families to visit to displease her.But the Jia family, except for Li Wan, all the female family members of the whole family came.Two more were delivered, Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai.

Daiyu frowned slightly when she saw the two of them.It's okay for Shi Xiangyun to say, after all, they can be regarded as relatives, but this Xue Baochai, a girl who has not left the cabinet, just came without invitation.When he came, he still acted like a master, which was disgusting.

Tanchun covered the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, smiled and said to Daiyu, "I came here uninvited. The master of the family and cousin Lin are familiar with each other. He knew that his cousin had passed the Jinshi examination, and he was also accepted by the sage." He was hand-picked as Tanhua, and he was overjoyed. It's just that he is a man. There are so many distinguished guests in the house today. It's really not easy to come and disturb him. Knowing that I know my cousin well, he asked me to come and give a congratulatory gift. I haven't seen Lin for a long time either. My sister is gone, I happened to come over with the old lady to have a look at my sister, so please don't think I'm abrupt."

Daiyu has also seen Tanchun for a long time. A while ago, she heard that Tanchun was not going well, and the maids around her even begged her. Looking at Tanchun now, although she is still a little weak, she is in good spirits.

Tanchun didn't mention the matter in advance, and Daiyu would not take the initiative to bring it up. She smiled and said to Tanchun, "It's good if my sister can come. I didn't know Master Xue's family, and I didn't know that brother and him Familiarity. My brother always doesn't care about what is right, and he didn't want to let the master of the Xue family down when he posted the post, so please don't blame me, sister."

Tanchun knew that this was an excuse, and he didn't care about the family background of Xue's family. It sounds like an imperial merchant, but in fact they are just merchants.He has a few local turtles in his pocket, and his style of conduct is far from that of the aristocratic family.Now that the Lin family is an upstart, why bother to associate with a merchant.Xue Baochai claimed to be a noble daughter of a famous family, but she didn't have that precious and reserved at all, so she really couldn't be called "noble".

It is said that sister-in-law is the natural enemy. Although the sisters get along very well together, since she came in and got seriously ill, Baochai actually stopped people from calling for a doctor.Fortunately, she was lucky enough to survive, and Daiyu sent someone to send Cuimo to Jia's mansion, and begged the old lady to invite a famous doctor to save her life.

From then on, Tanchun knew how difficult it was to survive in this back house.She claimed to be innocent, and it was not her intention to block Xue Baochai's way into Jia's mansion, but she didn't expect Xue Baochai to be so ruthless that she could watch her die.

Whenever Tanchun thinks of it, he hates it very much.

Glancing at Baochai, I didn't realize that my master hated him very much, don't you want to go straight to Qingyun, then I will cut off your Qingyun road.

Jia's family were the first to come, and after the female relatives entered the inner courtyard, the men led by Jia She entered the Lin residence.The door of Lin's house was opened wide to welcome everyone from Jia's family in. Lin Jue said with a smile, "I didn't expect the Eldest and Second Masters to take the time to come here. It's really brilliant."

Jia She said with a smile: "This is a good thing for my nephew, why don't you come. Your cousin Lian is stupid, and now he has donated a colleague. Fortunately, he can do things seriously, and it is not too useless. Yes. Your nephew Lan also participated in Qiu Wei last year, and his ranking was a bit off. Your sister-in-law Zhu means to ask him to wait another three years. It’s good to be a Jinshi.”

Jia Lan hurriedly came to see Lin Jue, "Nephew Jia Lan, I met Uncle Lin."

Lin Jue cried out with a smile, "Lan'er is already this big." He asked how he solved the problem on weekdays, and Jia Lan benefited a lot from a few simple words from him.

After saying a few words, someone came to report, and another guest arrived outside. Jia She hurriedly said: "We are all from our own family. You don't need to be polite to your nephew. It is important to go to meet the guests first. Your cousin Lian is useless. But I can also run errands, if my nephew needs anything, I can order him."

Lin Jue was not polite to him either. Jia Lian was good at common affairs, so he would be very useful at this time.He led Jia Lian out to meet the guests, but Li Yibai came uninvited.

Lin Jue glared at him, gave him a sneaky look, and saluted, "I have seen Prince Yonghe, and I am far away from welcoming him. I hope the prince will forgive me."

Jia Lian didn't recognize Li Yibai, but he knew the king of Yonghe County, and hurriedly knelt down to salute.Li Yibai had already supported Lin Jue, and while Jia Lian knelt down to salute, he quietly squeezed Lin Jue's palm, in exchange for Lin Jue's slap in the face, Fang let go of his hand with a smile, and called Jia Lian to get up.

Ignoring Jia Lian who stood tremblingly aside, Li Yibai asked Lin Jue affectionately, showing his concern and appreciation for Lin Jue vividly.Lin Jue slammed his eyes on Li Yibai, and Li Yibai just wanted to tickle him, but he didn't dare to go too far. Seeing that it was almost done, he let it go and followed Lin Jue into the inner hall.

After entering, he received another visit. Li Yibai was used to such scenes, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, he brought the topic to Lin Jue.He pointed to the middle-aged man beside him and said: "This is Shi Liu Zhun, the chief of my house. I know you must be busy today. He has some experience. He is the most responsible for receiving guests. You can rely on him for everything."

Lin Jue quickly thanked her.Since there is a long history of the county prince's mansion, there is no need for Jia Lian.But Jia Amnesty's purpose was not in this at all, and Jia Lian was still asked to follow Lin Jue, so that he could take care of him.

Lin Jue sounded funny, if he still needed to take care of him in his own home, what a mess the home would be.Jia Lian was also aware of her master's speculative nature, and smiled apologetically at Lin Jue, but Lin Jue didn't take it seriously. If Jia Lian was a good person, he wouldn't mind supporting him.

After a while, the guests arrived one after another. Lin Jue waited outside the door to greet her, her mouth stiffened with a smile.Fortunately, with the support of Li Yibai's family history, Lin Jue had time to catch his breath.

Jia Lian also stood on one side all the time, because there was Shi, the magistrate of the county prince, but there was nothing that could use him.But Jia Lian was also secretly surprised when he heard the voice of the servants of the Lin family singing and the name and position of the visitor.

The Jia family can be regarded as a noble family in Beijing, not to mention walking sideways, everyone wants to give some face.But in terms of real power, there is only one second master in the Jia family who is currently working in the Ministry of Industry. He is said to be a real job, but he is actually a handyman.As for the four great families that share the same spirit, only Prince Teng Jian, the patriarch of the Wang family, holds the real power in the emperor's heart, and now he has been promoted to the capital inspector of the nine provinces, commanding the military affairs of the nine provinces.

Because of his presence, the Jia family can maintain its colorful appearance, and outsiders can also give him a little bit of favor in the Jia family.If one day her father-in-law is gone... Thinking of this, Jia Lian couldn't help but shudder, and became more determined to make friends with Lin Jue.

It's just a pity that the second wife offended Daiyu, otherwise Baodai's marriage would be a really good thing.
