Lin Rui said, "This must be inexhaustible, but I know all about the four books and five classics to be learned in the imperial examination, and I don't believe you can take the exam." ”

Daiyu asked a few questions, and sure enough, she saw that his answers were word-for-word, and sometimes she was even more thoughtful than she thought.

Zijuan refilled the hot tea for the two, and when she looked at it, she asked,

"Didn't the girl send Uncle Lin to the academy because she had nothing to teach, why did she get admitted to the school instead?"

Yes, Daiyu is already inferior to Lin Rui in the Four Books and Five Classics, and she came to test him by herself, isn't it the little monk who came to test the old abbot!

Daiyu is an extremely smart and beautiful girl, and she was raised by Lin Ruhai as a boy since she was a child, and when she reads, even a hundred and ten men may not be able to compare to her, but this is such a girl, Lin Rui couldn't teach it when she was very young.

Daiyu is not humble, she knows her own ability, and she can also see Lin Rui's intelligence, based on this, she also believes in two points, but she doesn't believe it, Lin Rui is also young now, and it's not too late to take the exam again in two years, but

"Our household registration is all in Huaiyang, you have achieved the grades, but you have to get the status of Xiucai first, is it possible to go all the way back to the south to participate in the children's exam?"

LIN Rui Fangdao,

"I don't have to worry about this, I have found out clearly, there are two ways in this dynasty that you don't need to take the children's exam, one is that the students of Guozijian don't have to participate, such as Jia Rong from the Dongfu next door didn't participate, and the other requires two people to be sure, one is a member of the court above the third grade, and the other is a well-known Confucian master in various places. ”

In fact, these two methods are for this wealthy clan, the former is the second generation of the powerful in the country, and there can only be one place in the family, Rongfu is Jia Zhu of the year, even in the Guozijian, in order to live better in it, he also married the daughter of the Guozi Supervisor.

As for the other one, it looks a lot more relaxed, but it is not simple, how can ordinary people recognize the big people above the third grade, and there are Confucian masters, which master is not arrogant, for the sake of his own reputation, he will not recommend it when he is free, and he will lose his reputation.

Daiyu asked, "You can't do this way of the country's eunuch, could it be that you have the second method?"

Lin Rui replied, "It's halfway through, the mountain chief agreed to guarantee me, but there is still a lack of a third-grade or higher officer to guarantee it, and the mountain chief plans to ask someone to find one for me." ”

Wenjing Academy is also quite prestigious in the Zhili area, and his mountain chief is also enough, as for the members above the third grade, Daiyu smiled and said,

"You are also dark under the lights, and the senior members above the third rank are not necessarily the masters of real power, so how many of us have here, the eldest master is a first-class general, he is enough to guarantee you?"

Lin Ruicai suddenly said, "Yes, yes, I have someone in my own house, and I am going to find someone else!"

Daiyu Fang said, "Since this matter is solved, will you try it next year?"

"Yes, the township test is once every three years, the last time was the year before Jia Rong's exam, that is, the second year of Zhenqian, and next year, the fifth year of Zhenqian, it is exactly one season, if it is delayed, it will be eight years. Lin Rui replied.

"Even in the eighth year, you are only sixteen years old, and you are still young, so you are not in a hurry for this!" Daiyu thought that he was in a hurry to participate in the imperial examination, and it was for the sake of the lintel of the Lin family, so she was relieved.

Lin Rui said a word, which moved Daiyu very much.

"I'm not in a hurry, but my sister will be eighteen years old when she reaches the eighth year, and whether it is said to Brother Bao or others at that time, my sister has some confidence. ”

Lin Ruhai went before arranging Daiyu's marriage, Daiyu's future is on the old lady, although the old lady often says that it is two jades or something, but it is always vague.

The old Taoist priest in the Qingxu Temple introduced the girl of a good family, but the old lady did not necessarily refuse, Shi Xiangyun was kept by her again, and asked Xue Baoqin about her marriage, and often praised Baochai, so that no one can rest assured.

The old lady used Daiyu as a spare tire, Lin Rui's arms couldn't reach his thighs, he just hoped that he could have room for re-choice when Daiyu looked at each other.

When the pulse is warm, time always flies exceptionally fast, the year has come to the fifth year of Zhenqian, everyone in the Grand View Garden is one year older, Baoyu is now sixteen years old, Daiyu has also reached the last year before the ceremony, and the eldest of the sisters, Baochai, has also reached the age of eighteen.

As Baochai gets older, Aunt Xue seems to be a little unable to sit still, and she has been back to Mrs. Wang several times since the beginning of the year, and she doesn't know what she discussed with Mrs. Wang.

It's just that this time, the old lady seemed to be completely blindfolded, ignoring it, and she didn't know that she was old and blinded by Mrs. Wang, and she had never heard of this rumor at all, or pretended not to know, and let the rumors be noisy.

For a while, in the Rongguo Mansion, the undercurrent was surging, and even affected the Grand View Garden, and many shrewd people went to the Wuyuan to hold the treasure hairpin.

The most lively Yihong Courtyard and Warm Fragrance Dock in the Grand View Garden, but in this Warm Fragrance Dock, first went to the four girls, and then this happened, as if it was suddenly left out in the cold, the sisters are kind and soft-hearted, and they are much more cautious about Daiyu, only Daiyu doesn't care at all, whether others come to be close to flattery, cold and alienated, they are all consistent life, but let Baoqin and other foreign sisters admire her, and they are also a lot closer.

Even if there are many rumors, but without the old lady's mouth, who dares to take Baoyu's marriage on the stage is just a rumor.

Grand View Garden is just a mansion in Kyoto, in the whole of Kyoto, although it is famous, but it is nothing, and no one cares about the rumors of their family, and the big guys are spreading that the navy is coming back!

Since the end of last year, there have been legends that both Qianxiangguo and Nan'an Wang Yusin were suppressed by Wang Shi, and they should have returned to Beijing, but in winter the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was frozen, and it was not easy to go out, so they stayed in the south for the winter, and it was not until the spring of this year that the army returned to the court.

Today, in April, the weather is starting to warm up, and the Zhang family is also preparing summer clothes for the family, and the Shen family is studying, and because the master of the house will customize clothes in the rich embroidery village every season, Jia Lu also listened to it.

"Different from previous years, our family is not only filial piety at home but also in national filial piety, and we should be more cautious, such as the bright colors commonly used in summer clothes in previous years, which will not be touched at all.

The big maids and the stewards can use some light and light colors, they don't have to do rough work horizontally and vertically, and they don't stain their clothes much, but the clothes of the coarse girls and the little girls are from the sturdy and dirty colors, you know?"

Zhang pointed at Shen, and when he saw that Shen had written it down, Shen asked again,

"Madam, the clothes made by our family are all made in the embroidery room at home?"

"Exactly, if you have to buy clothes outside, wouldn't these 100 or so embroidery girls in our family eat dry rice?"
