Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

The people present were all about the same age, and the oldest was no more than 23 or [-]. In recent years, because they had to take part in the imperial examination, their marriage was temporarily put down by the family.After all, with fame and becoming an official, these people's marriages will be better than when they don't have fame.

Take Huang Chang for example, if he does not take part in the imperial examination this time and has no fame, even if Huang Ge is powerful, he will not be able to persuade the emperor to let the emperor's favorite princess marry him.

Although Huang Chang himself was not satisfied with this marriage, he had to say if Huang Chang could really marry Princess Qing'an.From then on, as long as it is not a serious crime of copying the family and exterminating the family, as long as it does not involve the struggle for the succession, there is no need to worry about the prosperity and wealth of the whole life.

Lin Xuan's words did not have the effect of comforting at all, on the contrary, they brought out everyone's concerns, and for a while, everyone fell into silence.

The reason why Lin Xuan and his group didn't have a moment of idle time during this period is not because they knew that the days when they could act willfully were numbered.After the examination results came out, they would start preparing for the palace examination. After passing the palace examination, their respective families would arrange marriages and official positions for them.

Marriage is easy to say, as long as you don't marry a noble princess like Huang Chang, you can do whatever you want. After all, the status of women in this era is very low. If the wife is not suitable, choose a few more That's all for a concubine you like, as long as you don't spoil your concubine and destroy your wife, no one will say anything about you.

But once you enter the officialdom, it's not up to you, you must be cautious in everything you say and do, and even when you get together with your bosom friends in the future, you won't be as comfortable as you are now.Although everyone has their own thoughts now, it is different after entering the officialdom.

Everyone knows the complexity and intrigue in the officialdom, although they all understand that they all shoulder the fate of their own families, and entering the officialdom is a must.But this kind of one's own destiny can't be decided by oneself at all, it seems that the feeling of being completely controlled by others is uncomfortable after all.

Seeing that everyone fell silent, Lin Xuan also realized that he had said something wrong. He opened his mouth to say something, but for a while he didn't know what to say.What to say, the current situation is like a young man who has just graduated from college and is beginning to bear the pressure of the family and the pressure of the society. It is inevitable to be confused.

It's just that this process is something everyone has to go through. From a young and frivolous boy to a mature and steady youth, from enjoying the glory brought by the family to taking on the burden of the whole family, the transformation process is bound to be painful .

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party ended in such a depressing atmosphere. Lin Xuan knew that this might be the last time for everyone to indulge together.Next, they will gradually begin to take over the burden of the family and bear the family's rise and fall, honor and disgrace.

People in the world are envious of a life of prosperity and wealth, but they don't know that behind these lives is responsibility. If you enjoy this kind of life, you must bear corresponding responsibilities, and no one can escape.

Time flies, and soon, it will be time for the exam to release the rankings. Although Lin Ruhai knew the result from his colleagues, he sent his servants to watch it early.Maybe it's because things don't come to fruition, but Lin Xuan, who was very nervous a while ago, doesn't seem to care.

Maybe he figured it out, he knew that he was going to take this path no matter what, and even now it was the day to release the rankings, he didn't care at all.He even wanted to go to Tianxianglou for dim sum in his spare time. If Lin Ruhai was not there, Lin Xuan would have gone to Tianxianglou for dim sum a long time ago.

Regarding Lin Xuan's attitude, Lin Ruhai also felt helpless. You said that the child was in a hurry a few days ago, and the test had just ended, so you asked yourself to show him the article on the test as soon as he woke up.But now, it seems that he doesn't care at all, it's time to release the rankings, and he doesn't seem to be worried at all.Lin Ruhai thought a little depressingly, is this considered an overkill.

Not long after, I saw the boy who was sent in the morning to watch the rankings come back happily, shouting while running: "Master, sir, you have won, and you will try No.3!"

After hearing this, Lin Xuan didn't feel very happy. After all, it was all expected.Looking at the boy who came to report, Lin Xuan had time to ask: "No.3, do you know who are No.1 and No.2?"

The young man thought that he was in a hurry to run just now, and after kicking his breath, he said: "No. 1 is Huang Shang, Uncle Huang, and No. 2 is Shen Hao, Second Master Shen."

After Lin Xuan heard this, he nodded clearly. When we got together a few days ago, Huang Chang said that his grandfather wanted him to marry Princess Qing'an, so the results of the imperial examination this time will naturally be better. No.1 is not surprising.As for Shen Hao, he is the grandson of Mr. Shen Ge, Mr. Shen loves power, and there are many people with real power under his sect, so it is not surprising that he is No.2.

After thinking about it, Lin Xuan asked again: "Do you know the rankings of Dialect and Zhao Cheng?"

The young man also knew that these people were friends of his uncle, so he paid attention when releasing the list, and answered them all at this time: "Master Fang, Master Fang will try No. 10, and Second Master Lu will try No. 7." .5, Mr. Li will try No.4, Uncle Zhao will try No.[-]..."

What the boy said was not much different from his estimation of everyone.After asking these questions, Lin Xuan waved his hand, signaling the boy to go to the housekeeper to receive the reward.On the other hand, Lin Ruhai over there was very happy when he heard that Lin Xuan would get No. 3 in the test, and rewarded all the servants of the Lin family with two months' money.

Not long after the boy reported the letter, the people sent by the court to announce the good news arrived, and after giving the big red envelopes that had been prepared to these people who came to announce the good news, a group of people left happily.Although Lin Ruhai sent a lot of money, he was very happy. Of course, when facing Lin Xuan, he still had a serious face, said in a deep voice not to be proud, and then returned to the inner courtyard.

As for what Lin Ruhai will do after returning to the inner courtyard, Lin Xuan doesn't know. Now he is thinking about when to invite everyone to Tianxiang Tower to celebrate.

Lin Xuan was pondering in his room, but he was taken aback when he heard the news that Lin Junyao and Lin Daiyu had joined their sleeves.

It's strange to say that in Lin Xuan's mind, Lin Daiyu and Lin Junyao, who would definitely be regarded as incompatible, are so friendly to each other, and they can be regarded as inseparable these days.

Faced with such a situation, Lin Ruhai was naturally extremely happy. For him, there was nothing more joyful than two beloved daughters getting along happily.

But Shen Shuang is different, she has always disliked Lin Daiyu, and she is also somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Junyao's approach to Lin Daiyu.Fortunately, Lin Junyao is good at coaxing people, and she also knows that the conflict between Lin Daiyu and Shen Shuang cannot be resolved, because neither of them can bow their heads.

But she started from the other side, and kept plugging the needles, which actually improved the relationship between the two, and it was not as stiff as it was at the beginning.Knowing that her elder brother didn't like the Jia family, Lin Junyao tried her best to make Lin Daiyu refuse the invitations that the Jia family sent to invite Lin Daiyu.

Seeing Lin Junyao bringing Lin Daiyu in with a smile, and the intimacy between the two, Lin Xuan had a very strange feeling.He didn't know why, but suddenly felt that Lin Junyao seemed to be very similar to the protagonists in the novels his sister told him in previous lives.

According to his sister, those transmigrators who are either male or female will dote on Sister Lin in various ways and do everything possible to change Sister Lin's fate.After Lin Xuan heard it at that time, he had only one thought, everyone really loves Sister Lin, why does every traveler want to change Sister Lin's fate, there are so many poor girls in the red building, why does everyone stare at her? Lin Daiyu lives here.

Shaking his head, Lin Xuan shook off those strange thoughts in his mind. He also watched Lin Junyao grow up. If she is really a time traveler, it is impossible for her to have no signs at all.

After entering the room, Lin Junyao let go of Lin Daiyu's hand, walked up to Lin Xuan with a smile, stretched out her hand, and kept saying, "Brother, my sister and I came here specially to say hello to you. Congratulations, where is the red envelope, bring it quickly."

For some reason, Lin Daiyu always seemed a bit reserved in front of Lin Xuan, but seeing Lin Junyao's unbridled appearance, she couldn't help tugging her sleeves lightly.

Lin Junyao looked nonchalant, and even patted Lin Daiyu's hand, as if to reassure her that her brother would not be angry.

Seeing the friendly appearance of the two, Lin Xuan suddenly felt a little jealous, as if his younger sister whom he had raised for so many years was suddenly taken away by someone.

Shaking his head, he laughed at himself in his heart, the more he lived, the more he went back, since he would still be jealous with a little girl.The movements of her hands were not slow, as soon as she clapped her hands, she slapped Lin Junyao's outstretched hand, and said while clapping: "Okay, you little cunning, this time the rewards are all given to the servants, Not for you."

Lin Junyao wrinkled her nose, snorted angrily, squinted at Lin Xuan still lying lazily on the chair, and seemed to ignore her intentions at all.The little girl sighed helplessly.He took out two small purses from his body, stuffed them into Lin Xuan's hands, and muttered: "Every day I know how to be angry with you, but I and my sister specially embroidered two purses for you as a gift. I don't have any gratitude at all, it's really a waste of my family and my sister's heart."

Lin Xuan stared at the two purses stuffed into his hands by Lin Junyao, and was stunned.One of the two purses is silver-white, with two plum blossoms embroidered on it, which looks very delicate, and it must have taken a lot of thought.This embroidery is different from Lin Junyao's previous embroidery. Thinking of what Lin Junyao said just now, it seems that Lin Daiyu embroidered it.

As for the other one, it is light blue, with two light pink lotus flowers embroidered on it, and it can be seen that it is Lin Junyao's embroiderer.

The two purses looked very elegant, in line with Lin Xuan's usual preferences. Lin Xuan nodded inwardly, and looked at Lin Daiyu with a softer gaze. He put the two purses away, and said with a smile: "Thank you Daiyu Sister Yu, I like this purse very much."

Lin Daiyu naturally smiled and nodded: "This purse is a little wish from my sister. Congratulations to my brother for getting No.3 in the exam."

On the other hand, Lin Junyao was not happy, she tugged on Lin Xuan's sleeve and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, why don't you thank my sister and not me, I also spent a lot of effort on embroidering that purse, you can't be so partial ah."

Seeing Lin Xuan's helpless look, Lin Daiyu smiled, but felt a little bitter in her heart. She was clearly her own brother, but she didn't treat her like a half-sister.Sister Junyao is right, brother is indeed biased, but he is not biased by himself.
