Practical Life in the Red Mansion

The Department of Pedestrians is the special agency of the emperor. If there is an edict, it will go out, and if there is no order, it will stay in the office.Lin Yang thought that he would issue local edicts or go to other countries, and took the opportunity to travel domestically and abroad. It turned out that he was overthinking. The internal affairs of the Pedestrian Division were not busy. In free time, we gather together to discuss knowledge, exchange academic knowledge, hold poetry gatherings, lectures, law reading meetings, etc.Because of this, most of the pedestrians are knowledgeable and promoted faster than others.

When Lin Yang first arrived, he had to prepare for the law reading meeting to be held in the near future. The Department of Pedestrians attached the most importance to reading the law meeting.Therefore, there are many regulations and systems of the current dynasty in the Department of Pedestrians, laws and decrees of the meeting, etc. that are not in private collections.Lin Yang thought that reading the law meeting was just to talk about some laws, so he didn't prepare carefully.

But on the day of reading the law association, he was dumbfounded. It turned out that there was a lot to learn in reading the law association, such as the canon of the meeting, the positions of the yamen, the history of the country, the memorials of famous officials, and the pictures of counties and towns. Everyone read together After going through it once, we will delve into each other, read through its affairs, and grasp its essentials.

Lin Yang has been studying for scientific examinations all these years, delving into stereotyped essays, and has never been exposed to these things, so he was naturally abused to the point of bruises.When the rally was over, Lin Yang only felt that his face was flushed, and he realized that his little knowledge reserve was not enough to stay in the Pedestrian Division, and he couldn't bear the name of the number one scholar. After so many years of smooth sailing, he knew Today he encountered his first setback.

He was a little disappointed and frustrated, and felt that others looked at him with some sarcasm. When Lin Yang was about to go home with his head down, he suddenly heard someone calling: "Chunxi, please stay for a while." Lin Yang turned around and looked at the person , named Xu Fan, is also from Gusu, with a plain face of green bamboo leaves, black hair tied up with bamboo hairpins, gentle and gentle, squinting at Lin Yang.

Xu Fan quickly walked a few steps and said to Lin Yang: "You and I are from the same township, I wonder if Chunxi would honor me for a few drinks with me?" Liquor is Lin's honor." It is not an exaggeration for Lin Yang to say this, Xu Fan is the number one criminal record, but he has more weight than Lin Yang, because he is a person with three yuan in the company, and he can come from the south of the Yangtze River. Needless to say, his talent stands out from a crowd of talents, and he has the talent of never forgetting. He can talk about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, astronomy and geography, laws and regulations, customs and customs.But such a talent refused to work in the Imperial Academy and invited him to the Pedestrian Division.

The place Xu Fan chose is also extremely clean, different from other places, this small tavern uses bamboo as the tables and chairs as the window lattices, the green color of bamboo makes the whole body feel cool in the hot summer.After the two drank a few cups, Xu Fan said, "I saw Chunxi looking discouraged, may I ask why?"

Lin Yang didn't see outsiders in front of Xueba: "I think I'm a talented person, and I don't know until today that I'm just a frog at the bottom of a well." Xu Fan poured himself a glass of wine and said, "There is an example in the Pedestrian Division. There are several books in the library, and according to this, it should be the richest collection of books in the government office. In front of this vast book, who is not a frog at the bottom of the well? Chunxi, you don’t have to worry about this, you must know that the nine-story tower rises from the pile of soil.”

Lin Yang felt better, because of his spring-like words, approachable attitude, and lack of the arrogance and nobility of a scholar, he asked curiously: "Why did Brother Jian come to be an errand in the past?" Xu Jian said without hesitation: " When you go out, you can "gather customs, climb mountains and rivers, explore the secluded past", and engage in some elegant things that are "helping learning". The work of copywriting and the criminal name of Qiangu are full of martingale palms, so they can read leisurely." After speaking, he smiled at Lin Yang: "I like this kind of life."

Lin Yang always kept Xu Fan's smile in his heart, because he had seen such a pure smile on an adult's face, Xu Fan, he is a person who really has the heart of a child.Lin Yang knew that he couldn't be like him, and he didn't yearn for that kind of life, but when Lin Yang lived a life that was completely different from him, he was busy with paperwork, and the criminal name Qiangu was full of martingale palms. But I miss the opportunity to study and study in the pedestrian department.

Daiyu was very envious when she heard that Lin Yang studied hard every day in the Pedestrian Department. After all, the Pedestrian Department had the most abundant collection of books.When the officials inside go out on missions, they not only collect books from various places, but also write their own experiences and knowledge into travel notes.

Daiyu said to Lin Yang with a look of yearning: "I heard that there are about several hundred kinds of ancient anthology and ancient poetry anthology of the Ministry of Culture." She is not only interested in the Ministry of Culture, but also interested in the books of the Department of Geography and Miscellaneous Department of the History Department, but As a woman, she has no chance to step into the pedestrian department.

Lin Yang couldn't bear her disappointment and said: "Although we can only read books in the office, we are not forbidden to borrow them occasionally. Xu Si is just a very good person. Whatever books you want to read, I'll just borrow them for you. "

Daiyu's eyes lit up when she heard the words, shining like gems, and said: "Can I really borrow it?" Lin Yang nodded: "Just register, and don't damage it." He looked at Daiyu With a smile on her face, she couldn't help feeling sorry for her being a girl, and sighed: "It would be nice if you were a boy."

Daiyu was stunned, and immediately laughed: "Brother, why did you say that? I don't think there is anything wrong with being a girl. Men and women are yin and yang, one is fire, and when the fire is on, one must honor the ancestors and study hard. One is water, water Run down, you must be steady, advance and retreat calmly. "Yi" says that 'water and fire do not shoot together'." She added: "I am much luckier than others. My parents let me read, write, write poems and paint."

Hearing Daiyu's transparent words, Lin Yang felt even more regretful that Daiyu's talent was confined in the boudoir. He lowered his voice and said hurriedly: "Do you want to write poems and publish this collection of poems? Choose a name like Yi An passed down his poems like that?" Daiyu shook her head and said, "I write poems just to express my own thoughts, just for my own entertainment, and there is no need for everyone in the world to know." "But," said Daiyu Yu's eyes curled up, "I like my brother talking about outside things."

Lin Yang patted her on the head with a smile and said, "Okay, I will tell you some outside things later."

He didn't hide Lin Yang's help with finding books for Daiyu from Mu Zheng, and Mu Zheng's aunt was a queen, and her grandmother was a princess, so he had to help borrow some books from the palace library.

"What is this?" Daiyu asked in surprise, pointing to the camphorwood box behind Lin Yang.

"The book I found for you." Lin Yang said casually.

"Why have I borrowed so much? I can't finish reading it for a while." Although she said so, Daiyu's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help running to the box, opened it, and looked at the neatly piled boxes inside. Daiyu's eyes were slightly moist. She had heard Nanny Ding's talk about women in this world, and seen the lives of Jia's cousins, so she felt extremely lucky to be pampered by her family.The elder brother himself was unhappy in the pedestrian department, but he still cared about her little care and was willing to work hard.

Lin Yang flicked Daiyu's forehead: "But if you want to read books, I have to live a life of never putting it down." He made a face at Daiyu, and seeing Daiyu burst out laughing, he said: "I I don’t want to admit defeat and let others say that I’m an embroidered pillow.” Daiyu joked with a smile: “Even if it’s an embroidered pillow, my brother is more delicate than others.”

Lin Yang said with a smile, "Don't bother to tease me, you still have to thank me." Daiyu said angrily, "I know my brother won't help me in vain." Then she asked Yao Huang to hold out a purse Come.Daiyu handed it to Lin Yang and said, "Here, here it is for you. It contains fragrant tea. When you feel tired while reading, take out a pill and chew it to refresh yourself."

Lin Yang looked carefully at the Ruyi purse with the animal head pattern on the bamboo and green background. The stitches were much finer. He couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "What are you doing so much sewing? It's not like there are no maids who specialize in sewing at home." Dai Yu smiled and said: "Father, mother and brother are so kind to me, so I can only make some needlework and snacks to repay one or two, and I don't do it all day."

Lin Yang put it away carefully, Daiyu picked out the basic books from the box when she saw this, and put the rest in the study.As soon as she opened a page, she saw that it was stamped with Wenyuan Pavilion, and she was surprised: "How did my brother borrow the book of Wenyuan Pavilion?" Lin Yang sat down casually, made a snack and said vaguely: "I'm looking for Someone helped to borrow it." Daiyu thought that Mu Zheng was the only one who could get in touch with the palace.

She whispered to Lin Yang: "I heard that brother Mu sold a hot spring village that was idle in his family to our family, and my brother troubled him to borrow books. My brother has to find a chance to thank him." Lin Yang couldn't help it. I mean: "You're welcome, it's all trivial things, and he doesn't care about these vain courtesy. By the way, in the past, brother Yun would come to you for a while, why didn't he come today?"

Hearing Lin Yang mentioning Lin Yun, Daiyu couldn't help but support her forehead and said, "He smashed the tank like Sima Guang, but how could such a villain as him hit the big water tank? The fish tank in the room was smashed." Hearing this, Lin Yang let out a snort and spewed out some dim sum scum, he frantically wiped it off, and said cheerfully, "He's really naughty, didn't he get hurt?"

Daiyu shook her head: "My mother and I were terrified, but fortunately we were not hurt." She couldn't help but curl her mouth when she thought of Lin Yun's appearance: "It's covered in water and some water weeds, it doesn't matter if it's hot, my father knows But he was so angry that it was his favorite fish tank. The pair of ink dragon eyes in it had been carefully raised for a long time. After taking it, he was hit by Brother Yun like this and died. His father punished Brother Yun and grounded him gone."
