On the eighth day of the fifth month, Lu Jing took his sister and second aunt all the way from Fengyang and returned to the capital after half a month.

After returning home, Lu Jing placed his second aunt, Mrs. Guo, and her party in the West Wing.

Later, Lu Bei and Lu Zheng were invited to ask him about the more than one month since he left Beijing, Fuzhong and what happened in Beijing.

Everything in the mansion was as before, and after Lu Bei finished reporting, he retreated first.

Lu Zheng told the things in Beijing again, especially the few things that Lu Jing cared about.

At the beginning of April, the selection of Shu Jishi was over, Ge Yin selected Shu Jishi, and Li Yi was eliminated and appointed as the county governor of Pingjiang County, Yuezhou, and had left Beijing a few days ago.

In late April, Zhuang Huaigu and Jia Baoyu clashed for the second time, and Shi Taijun forcibly ordered Jia Zheng to dismiss Zhuang Huaigu.

A few days ago, the DPRK and China passed a court agreement to expand the mulberry fields in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so that more silkworm farmers can grow mulberry and raise silkworms.

After a day of rest, Lu Jing told her sister the reason why the second aunt came, and asked her sister to invite Daiyu to meet the second aunt.

Since Lin Daiyu left Lu Jing's brothers and sisters, she often felt a little bored, and her heart was empty and there was nowhere to put it.

Yesterday, when I received the gift that Lu Jing brought back from Jiangnan, I was extremely happy in my heart, and I suddenly felt that life was colorful again.

At this moment, when she heard that Zhiyu had invited her to meet their second aunt, she suddenly became nervous, and she was nervous and uneasy.

In the end, Lu Zhiyu selected a few pieces and dressed up for Lin Daiyu, so Lin Daiyu came to Lu Mansion with a worried heart.

Mrs. Guo watched Zhiyu come in with Daiyu, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and she saw that Daiyu was elegant and vulgar, with a light spirit.

After a careful look, I saw that his eyebrows were picturesque, his eyes were like the autumn moon, his peach cheeks were smiling, his figure was graceful, his shoulders were cut into a waist, and his muscles were like condensation, and he was very satisfied with Daiyu's posture.

Lin Daiyu replied shyly: "Daiyu to meet Mrs.!" ”

Mrs. Guo saw that although she replied shyly, she was generous and charming, so she hurriedly helped Daiyu up, took Daiyu's little hand, and let Daiyu sit beside her, and then took off the bracelet on her wrist and brought it to Daiyu: "The first time you meet, it will be regarded as a meeting gift from me." ”

Lin Daiyu blushed with shame, but she couldn't shirk it, so she thanked: "Daiyu Xie is very loving." ”

Mrs. Guo saw that Daiyu was gentle and demure, and secretly praised her in her heart, and then asked about Daiyu's age, daily life and other household matters.

Lin Daiyu answered them one by one, showing good behavior and wisdom.

Mrs. Guo nodded, secretly praised Daiyu's words and demeanor, and then asked about some things about housekeeping, female celebrities, reading and other aspects.

Lin Daiyu understood the topic, and discussed with Mrs. Guo in a hurry, during this time, after Mama Li's training, she not only has always had a graceful and luxurious bearing, but also is very skilled in housekeepers, female celebrities and other things.

After some investigation, she was very fond of Daiyu's knowledgeable and reasonable, beautiful and wise, gentle and lovely character, and was very satisfied with Daiyu's life skills in all aspects.

When Lin Daiyu heard Mrs. Guo's praise, she was secretly happy in her heart, and understood that she had been recognized by Mrs. Guo.

After sending Daiyu away, Mrs. Guo asked Lu Jing to send a message, saying that she was very satisfied with Daiyu, and when she chose a good day, she would go to the Lin family for Lu Jing to propose marriage.

Although Lu Jing was extremely confident in Daiyu, he received an affirmative answer from his second aunt at this moment, and the big stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground in an instant.

He then found Lin Ruhai, briefly told him about the experience of Jiangnan's party, and asked: "The disciple plans to go to the Hanlin Academy tomorrow to cancel the vacation, I don't know what the teacher has to ask for?" ”

Lin Ruhai said with a serious expression: "Although the teacher is also in the Hanlin Academy, he will not give you any help in the first few months. ”

Lu Jing thought for a while and replied: "The teacher wants to test the disciples, can they rely on their own means to gain a firm foothold in the Hanlin Academy?" ”

"Yes, the Hanlin Academy is just the first step for you to enter the officialdom, and the theory as a teacher should take you to integrate into it." Lin Ruhai said.

"But this first step in officialdom is also the place where you can best understand the rights and wrongs of officialdom, if you have my help, you will lack these understandings, and it may not be a good thing for you."

Lu Jing nodded and said, "The disciple understands the teacher's hard work, and the disciple will rely on his own ability to gain a foothold in the Hanlin Academy." ”

Lin Ruhai was pleased: "When I first entered the Hanlin Academy as a teacher, I was also quite excluded, if it wasn't for the support of one or two friends, I am afraid that it would be difficult for me to have my current achievements as a teacher." ”

"Why was the teacher excluded back then?" Lu Jing asked in surprise.

"Hehe, it's ridiculous to say, just because my Lin family used to be a Houmen, and I married the daughter of the Rongguo Gong, who was at the height of power at that time, they belonged to the noble side." Lin Ruhai sneered, now thinking about those years, Fang feels how ridiculous.

"It is said that it is excluded, but in fact it is just a cold reception, at that time they were quite indifferent to the teacher, and some people said some gossip behind their backs, saying that the teacher was named Tanhua by relying on his family background and the Yue family."

"I'm afraid this is a common method used to squeeze out people in the Hanlin Academy, right?" Lu Jing asked.

"Yes, at that time, my father-in-law was in a high position, and they didn't dare to embarrass them openly, so they could only secretly use some means. Lin Ruhai said with emotion.

When he was in high school, he was in high spirits, and he was suddenly hit by this kind of cold reception and blow, and his mentality was a little unbalanced, and he couldn't complain to anyone about this kind of thing, after all, people were just alienating you, and no one could blame you.

"I almost collapsed as a teacher back then, but fortunately, in the Hanlin Academy, there are one or two friends who often persuade me to be a teacher. In the final analysis, it's just a while longer, after all, they are all colleagues, and they don't dare to do too much, otherwise a jealous and jealous person will not be able to run away from the infamy of suppressing juniors. ”

"I see." Lu Jing nodded and said, with a boiling word, you can feel the torment in Lin Ruhai's heart back then.

"After entering the Hanlin Academy, although not everyone will encounter such an encounter as a teacher, but each has its own tribulations, if you can endure it, you will be willing to suffer, you can't stand it, and your achievements are limited." Lin Ruhai nodded.

"The disciples understand, not to mention those old Hanlin Academy, even the new people who enter the Hanlin Academy, they are also the best people in various places, they are all arrogant and self-regarding, since ancient times, literati have been despised by each other, and it is inevitable that they will not like each other." Lu Jing said.

"This time is a test for you!"

"The teacher is assured, and the disciple is confident that he will pass this assessment of the teacher." Lu Jing said that if it is just isolation, it is just a pediatrics for him, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

He is not without roots in the Hanlin Academy, in addition to Ge Yin, who has already been admitted to the Shu Jishi, as well as Chen Ting, who is now serving as a reviewer in the Hanlin Academy, and Zhang Chengliu, who was introduced by Li Shouzhi, it is not difficult to initially integrate into the Hanlin Academy.

The next day, Lu Jing went to the Hanlin Academy to spend his vacation, and in the future, in addition to the rest day, he needed to go to the Hanlin Academy every day to clock in and go to work.

Zhang Yuan, the head of the Hanlin Academy, just asked Lu Jing to take Lu Jing to the book hall and the edict hall after a brief inquiry.

The highest official position of the Hanlin Academy is the master of the second rank, and the lower level is the scholar of the Hanlin Academy between the third and fourth ranks.

Under the scholars of the Hanlin Academy, there are the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy of the five grades, and the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy from the five grades, followed by the Hanlin Academy attendants of the six grades, the scholars of the Hanlin Academy from the six grades, the compilation of the Hanlin Academy from the six grades, the compilation of the Hanlin Academy of the six grades, the compilation of the Hanlin Academy of the seven grades, the review of the Hanlin Academy from the seven grades, the doctors of the five classics of the Hanlin Academy of the eight grades, the classics of the Hanlin Academy from the eight grades, the servant books of the nine grades, the edicts from the nine grades, and finally the Confucius and Shu Jishi who are not in the stream.

Chen Ting was a scholar in the last scientific examination, and was promoted to the review of the Hanlin Academy last year, which was two levels lower than Lu Jing's compilation of the six products.

Ge Yin has just been admitted to the Shu Jishi examination, and he has not yet had a grade, so he needs to wait two years later, before the next scientific examination begins, to evaluate the grade through the examination.

The main responsibilities of the Hanlin Academy are to give lectures on the feast, to take charge of the scientific examinations of scholars, to write literary history, to inspect history books, to study the homework of inspectors, to inspect the archives of the Imperial Academy, to enter the duty class, and to teach and study the scholars.

Every autumn, the Imperial Court held a sutra banquet ceremony, and the Hanlin Academy was responsible for selecting the main speakers, and these officials were generally cabinet scholars, scholars, squires, and Zhan Shi from the Hanlin Academy.

In the spring season, the Ministry of Rites organizes the examination, and in the autumn season, he leads the township examination in the Gyeonggi region, and during the examination, he selects a paper reader from the Hanlin Academy, and acts as an examiner during the township examination.

The Hanlin Academy will also be responsible for writing blessings, inscriptions, sacrifices, canonization of queens, concubines, edicts, and official documents of princes and ministers.

Of course, the most enviable duty is to be on duty, acting as an advisor to the emperor, and serving in the Shang study.

There are two places in the Hanlin Temple, the Book Hall and the Imperial Hall, which are in charge of the management of the chapters, the clerks, and the errand officers, and keep the books.

To be written by the Imperial Palace, proofreading, and compiling literature and history.

Lu Jing was compiled by the Hanlin Academy, responsible for revising the history of the previous dynasty, and belonged to the Imperial Court. Chen Ting is also a person who compiles literature and history, and is in the same office as Lu Jing.

Now in the Hanlin Academy, only Tanhua has not yet returned, and more than a dozen Shuji scholars have returned to their positions.

Thanks to his words at the Qionglin banquet that day, on the first day of Lu Jing's employment, most of those Shujishi in the same department were relatively close to him.

Others, for various reasons, have a more indifferent attitude towards him.

On the first day, Lu Jing didn't have any extra actions, just a preliminary understanding of his responsibilities and future work.

In the following days, in addition to completing his own work, Lu Jing has been observing the work habits and mentality of people of different ages in the Academy.

At the same time, they are basically familiar with those Jishi in the same department, everyone is new to officialdom and needs to support each other, so there is no such thing as a particularly lonely and unsociable existence.
