Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

Lin Xuan made a song title of water tune, which caused a sensation in the audience, but everyone just admired and sighed. In fact, there is not much difference from the treatment of the previous few people. After all, the most important thing in this era is Careful article, for real readers, poems and songs are just anecdotes, and the poems and essays at the Mid-Autumn Festival are actually just an addition, something to enliven the atmosphere, so many people are not very interested in it , just like Lu Ran.

But for Lin Xuan, it is also very good to write a poem at the Mid-Autumn Festival to gain fame, but the most important thing is to release the rankings in the government test afterwards, that is the most glorious place for a literati.

Not long after Lin Xuan finished writing this poem, a servant ran in panting, and shouted at one of the examinees inside: "Master, I am so happy, you have won the exam, and you are the thirteenth place in the government examination!"

"Really?!" The man immediately went crazy with joy, he didn't care about going to the Mid-Autumn Festival, he ran out without thinking, probably to watch the list.

Hearing that someone passed the exam, the anxious hearts of all the candidates present were immediately raised. Originally, they didn't have much thought on the essay meeting, and now they are not in the mood to listen to any poems. I can still keep my face, fidgeting and waiting for my family to report, and if I am in a hurry, I have already ran out, not to mention these candidates, even on the second floor, many people began to pay attention to the movement downstairs.

Although the gold content of juren has declined, it can still be regarded as a member of the bureaucratic class. If it was at the beginning of the founding of the country, juren could be directly awarded an official position. Even now, after winning the juren, he is also qualified to be an official. How many people in the crowd can not pay attention to it.

Lin Xuan, Lu Ran, and Dialect still sat here without moving. After all, they are also sons of aristocratic families. They have a deep family background, and after so many years of upbringing, they can't be as impetuous as those people.

But it would be a lie to say that you are not nervous at all. Lin Xuan is more or less worried. It’s just that if you don’t have a little concentration in your life and work, you will be looked down upon by others, so even though you are nervous, Lin Xuan still sits here. As stable as Mount Tai.

Seeing more and more people going out, slowly, the dialect could not sit still, he was not a stable person, let alone at this moment, after thinking about it, he said hesitantly: "Respect, Shao Rong, why don't we go out and have a look?"

Lin Xuan and Lu Ran looked at each other and smiled, but they were silent to each other. They both knew that the dialect could never hold back. This is not the case now. At that moment, the two of them stopped posing and said directly: "Let's go!" "

The list was posted at the gate of the government office, and when they arrived, the place was already surrounded by people, and it was impossible to squeeze in.

Fang Yan pursed his lips, and sighed a little depressed. Although his family had sent servants here to read the list, he still wanted to see it for himself at such a meaningful moment, but it probably couldn't be done now.

The three of them stood here and glanced at each other, planning to find a shady place to sit down first, but before they could turn around, a young man in a blue hat ran over and congratulated him in dialect: "Master , Master, you have won the No. 6 House Examination"

Dialect was stunned for a moment, but it was Lin Xuan who patted him on the shoulder before he realized it. This is not surprising. I said earlier that Jiangnan's literary style is at its peak, and there are countless talented people. A government test is not much more difficult than a general test. Congratulations for being so far ahead.

Dialect came back to his senses, ignored Lin Xuan and Lu Ran's congratulations, and said first: "You go back and inform the family first, I will go back soon, master."

After the young man responded, he returned to Fang's mansion. For him, this was a good job. If the young master won the election, the red envelopes from the master and wife will definitely not be missing.

After a while, Lin Xuan and Lu Ran's servants also came over, and the results of Lin Xuan and Lu Ran also came out. Lin Xuan was No.1 in the government test, and Lu Ran was No.2 in the government test. Good results.

In fact, Lin Xuan knows that Lu Ran's talent and learning are actually on par with him. This time he is No. 1. Maybe it's because his writing style has caught the eyes of the examiner, but these are not important now, the government has tried Even if it’s passed, the rankings still depend on the general examination, which is the place where the title will become famous all over the world. However, passing the government examination is also a matter of celebration. Now, the three of Lin Xuan agreed to come After celebrating the day, everyone went home first.

When Lin Xuan arrived home, Lin Ruhai had already returned and knew the news about Lin Xuan Zhongju.

"Although your results in this government examination are not bad, but remember not to forget your type. There is not much time left before the general examination in the spring of next year. You still have to prepare well." Regarding Lin Xuan's results in this government examination, Lin Ruhai Naturally, he was very happy, but he still didn't forget to give a few words of advice when he saw Lin Xuan.

Naturally, Lin Xuan should be respectful. Seeing that Lin Xuan was not proud of the results of the government examination, and still looked calm, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but nodded, paused, looked at Lin Xuan again, and then said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, the clerk who requested the transfer for my father has already approved it. Someone will come to take this position at the end of this month. We need to leave for the capital next month. You can prepare for it in these days."

Lin Xuan was startled, and quickly asked, "Father, what is your transferred position?"

"This matter hasn't been decided yet, and we have to wait until we return to Beijing to work it out, but these are not things you should worry about. You just need to rest assured and prepare for the exam." Lin Ruhai waved Lin Xuan and sent Lin Xuan back.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan was naturally unwilling, and wanted to open his mouth to ask something. Seeing that Lin Ruhai frowned as if he was going to get angry, he could only shut up resentfully. He just wanted to go out, but was told by Lin Ruhai again. stopped.

Lin Xuan turned around and looked over suspiciously, not knowing why Lin Ruhai called him. He would not naively think that Lin Ruhai had changed his mind, and wanted to tell him and ask him to help share his worries.

Sure enough, Lin Ruhai seemed to have thought of something, looked at him with an extremely serious expression, and said: "Lin Xuan, the first thing to say about your father's ugliness, there are many dudes in this capital, you must not hang out like them, especially It's those children of your maternal grandfather's family, if you can stay away, stay away and avoid contact with them, if you learn some bad habits and come back, the father will never let you go."

These words came to Lin Ruhai's mind just now. He knew the virtues of the children of the Jia family, but they were far away at first, so it was nothing. If Lin Xuan hadn't been warned in advance and let Lin Xuan stay with them for a long time, if he became like those people, then Lin Ruhai would really regret it to death.

The corner of Lin Xuan's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that Lin Ruhai stopped him for this reason. Does Lin Xuan look so untrustworthy? After all, he has been a human being for two lifetimes. Could it be possible that he can be led astray.

But even though he thought so in his heart, on the surface Lin Xuan still agreed respectfully, promising that he would never get too close to the members of Jia's family, and he would never learn to be bad before he walked out under Lin Ruhai's signal.

After seeing Lin Xuan go out, Lin Ruhai rubbed his forehead tiredly. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to apply for a transfer this time. You must know that although the position of Xunyan Yushi does not seem to be of high grade, it is a real power It's not that the emperor's confidant can't hold the position. It's just that although this position is good, the pressure it needs to bear is not ordinary. Moreover, seeing that several princes have grown up, there are already turmoil in the court. If he doesn't If you plan early, you are afraid that when the storm reaches Jiangnan, you will not be able to retreat completely.

It's fine if he doesn't care about it, and it's nothing to fight those people for his own future, but now that he has a son and a daughter, and his son is mature, there is really no need to put himself in such a dangerous situation.

What's more, although Lin Xuan seemed to be doing things calmly these years, he was only a teenager after all, and Lin Ruhai was worried about letting him go to Beijing alone.

It's just that he has been away from the capital for more than ten years, and he is completely uncertain about the emperor's attitude towards him now. It is hard to say what kind of position he will arrange for him, but Lin Ruhai cannot share these worries with others. , can only be bored in my heart.

Lin Ruhai's side was full of worries, but Lin Xuan's side was completely relieved. Since ancient times, the two monopoly industries of salt and iron have been huge profits. You can see it, you must know that Lin Ruhai didn't take the initiative to ask for it, but just got it according to the usual practice. If the person in this position is a little greedy, he will only get more.

Since ancient times, if one wants to obtain the throne, money is indispensable, just like the Eighth Master Party in the Kangxi Dynasty. If it were not for the support of those industries of the Ninth Master, even the Eighth Master would not have reached that point no matter how capable he was. Moreover, the place where Jiangnan can get wealth is far more than salt and iron, so it is conceivable that as the wings of the princes gradually plump up, their hands will reach Jiangnan sooner or later, and then Jiangnan will become the place where those few princes grow. The battlefield for the princes, and his father is an absolute royalist, it is impossible to say that there is no conflict with those princes.

Lin Xuan once analyzed that Lin Ruhai's death may be because of being involved in this turmoil, and it is also possible that Lin Ruhai entrusted Lin Daiyu to the Jia family completely because he was too busy to take care of himself at that time, otherwise, Lin Ruhai's Knowing how corrupt the Jia family is, how could she send her daughter to the tiger's mouth.

Therefore, it is definitely a good thing that Lin Ruhai can leave this turmoil now. Although there may be many dangers in the capital, but after all, it is at the feet of the emperor, and the operability is much stronger. At least no one will use it. Ah assassination and other means, but if it is in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not necessarily the case.

Within a few days, everyone in the Lin family knew about Lin Ruhai's transfer to the capital. These people didn't think as much as Lin Ruhai and Lin Xuan did. From their point of view, being transferred to the capital would bring him closer to the emperor. It is definitely a good thing, so these days, the entire Lin Mansion is happily preparing for various matters to rush to the capital.

It is not an easy matter to move the family to the capital. There are too many talks here and there, and Shen Shuang is too busy alone. Lin Xuan simply does not go out to celebrate these days, and stays in The family helped Shen Shuang deal with these matters, and of course, he did not forget to bring Xiao Junyao with him.

In Lin Xuan's vision, Xiao Junyao will definitely be someone else's mistress in the future, so it is necessary to know how to be a housekeeper. He can't be like Lin Daiyu who only knows how to hurt the spring and the autumn. There are some things that should be learned You still have to learn, especially Xiao Junyao is not laughing now, at least in the ancient era when you can get married at the [-]th or [-]th, you are not too young, and you should learn some things now.

Shen Shuang didn't have any opinion on Lin Xuan's behavior of bringing Lin Junyao by his side. She also saw Lin Xuan's love for Lin Junyao over the years, so naturally she would not destroy the relationship between him and Lin Xuan because of such a trivial matter. .
