"Okay, okay, brother, don't forget it next time!" Daiyu finally smiled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Lin Ruhai looked at a few children, and suddenly felt very relieved, he didn't regret taking all the backyard in his own hands at all, even if Jia Min became depressed because of this, he didn't dare to let go of power anymore. If he is like Xia Liansheng, because of his little help to Lin Jin, he will help him care and love Daiyu and Huiyu without regrets, even if he goes first in the future and the two children have something to rely on, he will be able to smile at Jiuquan. But this is all extravagant hope, and he can't always expect others to be kind to his daughter like charity. My daughter is so cute, she will definitely be popular in the future, this is what every father will think about when he looks at his daughter, at this time, Lin Ruhai is an ordinary father.

After dinner, Daiyu led her younger brothers to walk a hundred steps after dinner, and Xia Liansheng and Lin Ruhai also slowly walked back to the study in the front yard. As soon as he returned to the study and sat down, Lin Ruhai told him something: "I got the news today that the emperor intends to choose another companion for the fifth elder brother, and the fifth elder brother decided to choose it himself, and the emperor agreed, but the premise is to choose within the scope of his circle." ”

"What's the range?" Xia Liansheng seemed to have a bad premonition.

"You are the shadow of the eunuchs of the country." Lin Ruhai said, "The status of the companion reading is low, although the emperor's companion Wei Dongting is good, but the companion reading of the elder brother who is not the emperor is useless, at most, the elder brother has graduated, and the emperor casually gives a guard or a scribe of various ministries as a pawn, and there is no future without qualifications." Therefore, the emperor will never consider the really outstanding prisoners of the country, as for the shadow students you are studying now, the chances of the children and nephews of the Han military banner or the Han minister being selected are a bit high. ”

"And I, who belong to the shadow of Minister Han." Xia Liansheng said.

Lin Ruhai had to say: "Yes." But then he explained, "There are advantages and disadvantages to choosing the fifth elder brother's companion reading, the benefits are obvious, the fifth elder brother has already reached the age to go out of the palace to build a mansion, but the emperor has always thought that his Chinese language is too poor, and the companion reading follows the fifth elder brother, it will not take two years, as long as the emperor relieves his mouth in the future and lets him go out of the palace to build a mansion, then the companion reading will be liberated." And maybe the emperor will look at the face of the fifth elder brother and directly give his companion a position, so that he doesn't have to spend money to buy officials or take the exam like the shadow student after graduation. The disadvantage is that although the emperor will give the position directly, it is more likely that this position is a palace guard, and it is not a particularly good future after all, and there is no possibility of promotion, because in the palace, most of the people who can be promoted are full of military flags. ”

"I don't want to go," Xia Liansheng said particularly dryly: "My target is not a guard, I want to participate in the guild exam, participate in the palace exam." ”

Lin Ruhai talked to Xia Liansheng about this matter, and he also wanted to confirm Xia Liansheng's thoughts, if he wanted to take the road of military generals, of course, it would be better to start from the guards. But..."Since you are sure that you want to take the Wenchen route, there are some things that I have to talk about to you." The first thing I want to say is your handwriting, people say that words are like their people, not that I say, your handwriting is really bad, if you want to take the exam, then the first thing to do, is to practice the words for me before taking the township exam. I won't say much about the rest, you also know that your foundation is really not solid enough, although you have a flexible mind to draw inferences, but in the exam, a few randomly selected essays, are you sure that you can write them word for word, and write them word for word? So, if you want to take the exam, hurry up and practice first. ”

Xia Liansheng was blushing by Lin Ruhai's words that poked his heart, he always felt that he was still several years away from the exam, so he didn't need to rush to practice words and memorize things, but now he didn't expect that he had an accident that made him change his mind. Think about it, too, this time it's a companion to read, what will you choose next time? It seems that it is an unwise choice to be in the country, and even if you want to become a leader, don't you start from a petty official of the sixth or seventh grade? Besides, maybe you have to wait for the official to be dispatched, I don't know how long I will wait, why are I so worried, this exam must be taken as soon as possible!

So in Guozijian, Xia Liansheng changed his previous obsession with the library, got up every day before dawn to fight boxing exercises, and began to be busy practicing words after finishing, for Guozijian's courses, he chose several subjects at a time, of course, because it was Yinsheng, so it was quickly passed, and it took only two years to pass it all, this speed refreshed the record of Yinsheng unprecedentedly, causing a lot of aspiring Yin Sheng's imitation, of course, this is all a later story.

One day, before another ten years of rest, an imperial list was posted at the gate of the Yinsheng dormitory of Guozijian, to the effect that the queen mother specially asked the emperor for the fifth elder brother to learn Chinese well, and asked the emperor to add a companion for the fifth elder brother, so that the people on the following list would gather at the gate of the national eunuch after lunch, and everyone was picked up by the eunuch from the palace to show the queen mother. (The fifth elder brother was raised by the Queen Mother, so he had to read it for the Queen Mother) Below is a half-page of paper with names written on it, there are not many names, and there are only a dozen people, and there is Xia Liansheng in it. Xia Liansheng took a look at the others, just like Lin Ruhai guessed about him, there are no royal family members with national surnames, and there are no descendants of kings with different surnames, most of them are dukes and marquis titles in the first three or four generations of the Han Military Banner, and now most of them are the descendants of the ministers of the Han Military Banner. Among them, Liu Fang, the son of Li Guogong, should be the oldest one, Xia Liansheng saw it when he gathered, he is supposed to be the oldest, probably because he is not too tall and burly, and he is already good-looking, so he doesn't see that he is the biggest one at all. The one with the lowest status should be Xia Liansheng, because everyone else is the direct descendant of a certain prince and a certain marquis, and only he is Lin Ruhai's nephew.

But others have different ideas when they look at him, this time he chose to read with him, and he said that he was helping the fifth elder brother learn Chinese, so as the nephew of Wenchen Lin Ruhai became the most likely one, and when he gathered, several people gathered behind him and squeezed their eyebrows. Xia Liansheng has also been observing other people, although he doesn't understand it very well, but he can also feel the malice of these people, but the little eunuch who came to answer didn't give them a chance to communicate, and hurriedly asked everyone to hurry up and get on the car, more than a dozen people and four or five carriages, just went straight to the palace.
