Of course, Lin Fangqin was joking with his younger brother, but the Wu'an Hou Mansion was really discussing Jiang Shiyun's marriage at this time, and after Jiang Shimin came back from the Fifth Military Camp, he was also very happy to learn that the marriage between Xiaoyun and Lin Xiaodi was basically confirmed.Since his aunt regretted her marriage, the most worrying about Xiaoyun's marriage in the whole house is probably Jiang Shimin, no way, everyone else is more heartless than him, but now he has fallen into the big stone in his heart, and asked happily: When is the wedding date?
Shang Daoyu replied: After waiting for Xiaoyun and Lu, the specific day will be discussed after the Lin family's doctor Lang enters Beijing.Jiang Shimin's husband, Zhang Shaolangjun interjected: Speaking of which, Xiaoyun's dowry has to be prepared early, the Lin family is based in Wuyi County, and there are no people in the capital, I am afraid that everything is lacking.Shang Daoyu seemed to think of something, and said: The Lin family really has nothing in the capital, although worshipping heaven and earth and his parents are in the ancestral home of Wuyi, but in the end, Brother Xu still has to come to the capital to be an official, and I am afraid that there will be no place to live at that time.I plan to give Xiaoyun the four-entry house next to the six yamen in Yongchunfang, just such a younger brother, you two are not allowed to have opinions!
Jiang Shimin and Jiang Shiwu both know that mansion, I am afraid that it is the biggest and best property in Wu'an Hou Mansion, but just like what Father said, just such a younger brother, where can there be any opinions.Jiang Shimin hurriedly said: It should be.Jiang Shiwu said directly: There will be nephews in the future, it should be older.In this way, not only Lin Fangxu ate soft rice, but even his son and little brother were wiped out, speaking of which, Lin Fangxu has been renting a house in the capital in his last life, and the Lin family can't afford it, and Mrs.
Liu is naturally not so generous, spending money to save face for her concubine.On the second day, Lin Fangxu had no intention of thinking about eating soft rice anymore, so he went to the Ministry of Officials to report with a group of new science and technology scholars early in the morning to participate in the court examination presided over by the Ministry of Officials.The four hundred jinshi in the same year in the same department, except for the ranking, everyone seemed to be no different before, but after the court examination, they were divided into four classes, different levels, which determined the starting point of your struggle after entering the officialdom.The last class will be assigned to the provincial-level yamen to observe the government, waiting for where there is a county order or a shortage of the same grade, it can be filled, of course, there are many shortages in the country now, and they are estimated that they don't have to wait for this batch of fourth-class jinshi.The third-class jinshi, about 170 people, will be sent to the six departments, the general administration department, inspectors and other important yamen in the capital, also called the customs administration, actually do miscellaneous work, serve tea and water to the predecessors of the yamen, and do some miscellaneous work.After waiting for the seniors to retire or fall and there is a vacancy, they still have to find opportunities to make up for the relationship, so many people generally can't survive at that time, and they are sent out to the local place early to become a parent official.Thirty-six people in the second class, elected as Shu Jishi, go directly to the Hanlin Academy, you don't have to watch the government by yourself, during which someone will teach you how to deal with government affairs, study all kinds of literary and historical classics, and be regarded as a graduate student who learns to be an official, after three years of graduate school, there will be a scattered examination, depending on the excellent grades, or stay in the Hanlin Academy, or send to the six departments, etc., and even go to the local official, of course, the starting point must be different.As for Lin Fangxu, Shang Tan, and Kong Jue, after the palace examination, they have already been revised by the sixth grade and the seventh grade respectively, no matter what the results of the court examination are, they are all first-class, and after registering with the Ministry of Officials, they will go directly to work in the Hanlin Academy.Chapter 56 April 20th, the sun is warm and there is a breeze, although it is just a rented courtyard, but it is also called Lin Mansion for the time being.The four big men of the Lin Mansion got up early in the morning, washed up briefly, and after eating the soybean milk fritters that Lin Chong went out to buy, Lin Fangyuan carefully took out the official uniform of the Hanlin Academy, which his young master had received yesterday from the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials.Lin Fangxu took off his civilian clothes in two by three, stretched out his hand to take the official uniform, but was slapped away by Lin Fangqin, and ordered Lin Fangyuan to take a towel and let him wipe his hand that grabbed the fritters, and then sat on the side and watched with a smile as his little brother put on official clothes under the service of Lin Fangyuan and the two.It's a pity that in less than a minute, Lin Fangxu ran to Lin Fangqin with a smile and begged for praise: Big brother, how is it?
Isn't it better than the clothes of the Gourgys?
, and turned around twice after speaking.Lin Fangqin smiled: I haven't seen you wear the clothes of the Jishi, how do you know which one looks better?
Lin Fangxu was stunned, yes, Liu Mingzhu was by her side in her last life, she praised herself for looking good in that Shujishi dress, and also euphemistically said that with her talent and ability, she will be able to go straight to the sixth department soon, thinking that this is also her own beautiful vision of staying in the capital.Lin Fangxu quickly came back to his senses, and he didn't show off his clothes anymore, but asked with a smile: What are the arrangements for the eldest brother today?
Lin Fangqin straightened his collar and said, "I'll take Fang Yuan to find a cook first, solve your eating problem first, and then go to see your second brother."
You should also go to the yamen, don't delay, I won't tell you anything, I guess you also know in your heart, if you need help from home, just say it.When I came to the capital, the eldest grandfather and the sixth grandfather said that now the rest of the clan and things must be put aside, and everything must be put first by you.After listening obediently, Lin Fangxu said goodbye to his eldest brother and went out.Hanlin Courtyard is located in East Chang'an Street, the gate is open to the north, Lin Fangxu and Xuan Si reported, they said the time, and today we will go to Hanlin Courtyard together.The three of them are newcomers, at this time, they have retreated from the scenery of the royal street to praise officials, in this previous imperial examination elite gathering, just pull out a place where the former champion and the former flower exploration are pulled, or huddle together for warmth, and it is better to be a low-key person.The three of them arrived at the gate of the Hanlin Courtyard almost at the same time, greeted each other, and walked in directly after showing the documents issued by the Ministry of Rites to the guards at the door.Passing through the triple door, the first one enters the hall with seven bays, also known as the office hall, to put it bluntly, it is the office of the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and there are the seats of the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, the bachelor of the attendant, and the bachelor of the lecture.The bachelor of the Hanlin Academy was not there, and at this time, there were only two bachelors in the hall, including Wang Wei, a bachelor, and the three of them had already met in the North and South Cultural Association.The other is a little younger, is Qiu Zishi, a bachelor of waiting, who is also the leader of the first year of Qianjianwen, and Wang Wei is the champion in the last years of the first emperor, so the most important thing in the Hanlin Academy is Sandingjia.Fortunately, although they are seniors, they will not give the three of them a horse for no reason, after all, there is also the grandson of the elder of the pavilion among the three, so politely let them do it, order someone to serve tea, and start greeting each other.Don't look at Lin Fangxu as the champion of the six heads, in fact, he is only famous outside, and it actually doesn't have much effect here, at least the two bachelors of the Hanlin Academy are not enthusiastic about Kong Jue, but fortunately, Lin Fangxu is not young on the inside, and he is not angry on the outside, so he is so quiet and low-key to be a beautiful man, watching them blow all kinds of rainbow farts.But often things don't go according to people's wishes, just when Lin Fangxu hasn't drunk a few sips of tea, he is nearly fifty years old, but he is still as pale as jade, handsome, and wearing a red Hanlin Academy bachelor's official uniform walked in, and before Lin Fangxu and others saw the salute, he said loudly: I heard that the champion who was robbed by the little brother of the Hou family in Wu'an came to report, where is it?
Lin Fangxu took half a step forward and was about to step forward to salute the foot silently retracted, his heart was weak, he thought about how to get along with this person in this life when he came to the Hanlin Academy, this person's personality is too casual, he is very familiar, but he is also the officialdom predecessor who took the most care of Lin Fangxu in his previous life.In his previous life, he was called Dong Dang, and he was ridiculed by him, but after the ridicule, he also helped himself to seek a shortage of release.When he died, I don't know if he scolded himself for not being angry, it's funny, this person even directly scolded himself for looking for a daughter-in-law and didn't polish his eyes, it can be seen that he really doesn't treat himself as an outsider!
In this life, this bachelor of Hanlin Academy doesn't seem to treat himself as an outsider, he walked directly in front of Lin Fangxu, looked at it carefully for a moment, and said clearly: Sure enough, when I heard about the arrest of my son-in-law under the list, I guessed that this time the champion Lang must be like me.Wang Wei, who is in his fifties and has grandchildren, rolled his eyes speechlessly when he heard this old man's words, thinking that you have found someone who is connected with the same fate.That's right, Xu An, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, is a native of Yangzhou, born in the rotten book network, the champion of Hongwu in the ninth year, was caught by the eldest brother of the emperor and entered the emperor's mansion at the Qionglin banquet, and finally married the eldest brother of the emperor and lived a life of eating soft rice.Of course, these are all made up by uninformed people, in fact, the two have long been in love, when Mengnu went south, Xu An followed the eldest brother of the emperor and acted as a military advisor.Xu An acts dissolutely, speaks without giving face, and the cabinet elders can make people unable to come to power, but no matter how annoying he is, he is helpless, without him, the husband is too powerful to provoke!
At this time, this annoying person seemed to have a good impression of Lin Fangxu, patted Lin Fangxu on the shoulder, and greeted with a smile: Sit, sit, sit, you have come to the right place in the Hanlin Academy, except for the sutra ceremony held in the autumn, there is usually no major event.Do some daily editing, editing, proofreading and other things, there are corresponding people in charge, you just came, the first two months will not be assigned to you, first observe and observe, look at the classics of literature and history.After speaking, he didn't care about the others, and directly called Lin Fangxu to the lounge next door, and asked with a smile: Are you a good kid?
Before he became an official, he offended a large number of people.Do you know that after you said what you said about the Wenhui, many people in the DPRK and China were ready to sit on the cold bench for you.Lin Fangxu smiled indifferently and said: I know, but now it seems that I can't do it!
Xu An felt that this kid was very interesting, raised his eyebrows and said: Yes, I don't know what you answered in the palace exam?
The saint hasn't shown it to anyone until now, so it looks like I'm going to reuse you.After Xu An finished speaking, seeing that he still didn't answer, he said boringly: Forget it, since you don't want to say it, then you can go find something to do by yourself and pass the time.I have long heard that compared with other yamen, the Hanlin Academy is the most idle, when others are busy with the Jiangshan Society, most of the Hanlin is still drinking tea and reading to kill time.When Lin Fangxu found this classic and planned to spend the first day of the Hanlin Academy, Lin Fangqin had quickly found a cook who could cook southern cuisine, the cook's family was in the capital, in addition to being responsible for three meals a day, he did not live in the Lin Mansion, and after talking about starting tomorrow, he would come to the Lin Mansion on an errand, and Lin Fangqin asked Lin Fangyuan to lead him to Lin Fangming's residence.Ai Xiaoya and Ni Shang Ge cooperate very well, and Ni Shang Ge will naturally not ignore her silver, looking at the more and more bulging purses, the design enthusiasm is high, and the inspiration seems to be endless.She was designing the new autumn style at this time, and the overall style was designed, but in the details, she always felt dissatisfied, Lin Fangming saw that she was entangled for a long time, and after taking it over and looking at it carefully, she found that the pattern style she designed did not match the clothes.Ai Xiaoya pondered for a moment, and felt that it seemed to be the case, and blamed himself for not being good at painting and creating, the orchids he painted lacked aura, and the peonies did not have the appearance of wealth and wealth, and they were indeed much inferior to the clothing style, so he begged Lin Fangming to help paint a few.Lin Fangming was naturally happy to serve, and when Lin Fangqin arrived, he was laying out the paper and ink, holding a paintbrush in his hand, and after repeatedly looking at the style of the clothes, he carefully conceived.Ai Xiaoya was diligently pouring tea and feeding snacks on the side, and when she was about to pinch Lin Fangming's shoulder, Lin Fangming grabbed her hand and said with a smile: Don't worry, I agreed, and I will draw it well, don't be busy, go and sit next to it.Ai Xiaoya made a grimace, and when she was about to sit down, she heard a knock on the door, ran to open the door with a smile, and saw Lin Fangqin and the two standing outside the door.After finishing speaking, he turned around and went back to the room, Lin Fangming probably guessed who was outside, hesitated for a while, then put down the brush, went out hard, walked in front of Lin Fangqin, and said in a low voice: Big brother, when did you arrive in the capital?
Lin Fangqin looked at him silently for a while, and then said: It's been two days, let's go to the teahouse in front, and we can talk alone.After Xiao Er got the tea and snacks, Lin Fangyuan went out and closed the door with his backhand, Lin Fangqin said: You plan to do this all the time?
Lin Fangming lowered his head and didn't speak, and said after a long while: I think this is very good, I am willing to live such a life.Lin Fangming was ready to be scolded, but he only heard the eldest brother ask: I arranged for Wang Shanli to follow you, what about others?
Where did you send it?
Lin Fangming didn't dare to reply when he heard this, could it be said that Xiaoya didn't like people with big brothers around her, so she drove people out to live.Lin Fangqin didn't blame him, but said: Since you don't need him, let him go back to Linjia Village with me, after all, his family is there.Hearing his inaudible grate, Lin Fangqin continued: If you are willing to be in the capital, I will not force you to go back, but you must do things by yourself and do things in a good sense of proportion, so as not to cause trouble to Brother Xu.Lin Fangming looked weak and short of breath just now, but at this time he said with an unconvinced face: I know, I won't say that I am Brother Zhuangyuanlang outside, let alone cause trouble for him!
Lin Fangqin saw that he seemed to be poked in the foot, and his hair exploded all of a sudden, so he didn't say more, and after the two brothers sat relatively wordless for a while, Lin Fangqin got up and planned to leave, and when he was about to walk to the door, he hesitated and said: Simu, if you have time, you better go back and see Simu.Chapter 57 When Lin Fangxu arrived home from the Hanlin Academy, Lin Fangqin was asking Wang Shanli how he had lived in the capital these days, and when he saw Lin Fangxu coming back, he beckoned him to listen to it too.Wang Shanli respectfully saluted Lin Fangxu before continuing: A few days after the villain followed the second young master to the capital, because Ai Niangzi didn't like outsiders at home, the villain went out to live, and only every morning, went to the second young master's residence to ask, the second young master had anything to tell the little one, and at other times he went to find some chores to do.Wang Shanli thought about it, and said carefully: After the second young master came to the capital, he only wrote some articles every day, and Ai Niangzi also drew pictures at home most of the time, except for walking around with Qu Niangzi, she didn't have much contact with other people.Lin Fangqin was silent for a while, and then said: You have done a good job, you have worked hard these days, you don't have to go to the second young master's side anymore, come back to Wuyi County with me the day after tomorrow."
When I came, your mother was asking someone to show you the family, and when I got back, I guess I would have to seal a big red envelope for you.Wang Shanli thought about it in the past few months, although he was not cold and hungry, but he was not familiar with life, and when he heard that he could finally go home, he was an adult, and his nose and eyes were a little sore.Xu realized that he had lost his manners in front of the two young masters, Wang Shanli quickly recovered, and said embarrassedly: The little one, the little one has been away from home for more than half a year, and I don't know how the parents and siblings are at home, but I just miss it a little.Lin Fangqin thought of Lin Fangming, who had also been away from home for more than half a year, and felt a little uncomfortable, when he left home, his mother also told him that if he could, he must take him back, and now it seems that he is afraid that he will disappoint his mother.Thinking of this, Lin Fangqin didn't plan to ask anything more, but said: Shanyan also came to the capital with me this time, I asked him to wait at the inn, buy some things by the way, and let Lin Chong accompany you to find him later.When Wang Shanli heard that his younger brother was also coming, he was so happy that he didn't know what to say, so even if he retired, he planned to go to find Lin Chong and take himself to the inn to meet his relatives.Lin Fangxu saw that the eldest brother was in a bad mood, so he pretended to be aggrieved and said: The eldest brother is going back the day after tomorrow?
Hey, I'm wandering around the capital alone, won't my eldest brother stay with me for a few days?
Lin Fangqin saw that he hadn't taken off the official uniform on his body, so he made a child's gesture there, and said with a smile: I really should let your colleagues in the Hanlin Academy look at your current appearance!
There is no seriousness of an official master!
Lin Fangxu didn't care: Big brother, you haven't seen Lord Xu of the Hanlin Academy look improper, I still learned from him, no way, it's up and down, hey, it's a pity that I'm not as weak as the crown, I have to go to see people's eyes, do things that tend to be inflammatory, and my family is not around!
Lin Fangqin saw that the more he talked, the more unseemly he became, so angry that he didn't care if he was a civil raider, slapped his head, and scolded with a smile: You are not finished!
I will let your brother-in-law come early, help you arrange your family affairs properly, and let your husband take care of you when the time comes, so as not to look like you don't look big!
