Chapter 061: Refusal to Marriage
Compared with the slightly depressed atmosphere of the Jia family, the atmosphere of the Lin family is very cheerful, because the people who reported the good news are coming, the Lin family can be regarded as out of the limelight this time, and it is more prosperous than the limelight of the champion list, and the four of Lin Xiao are also really competitive, they are a jinshi, although the number of people admitted this year is slightly more, reaching 360 people, but the second class jinshi is only 100 people.
It is a great joy for other people to lift people in the examination (refer to Fan Jinzhongju), and as a result, the Lin family passed the four Jinshi in one go...... Fortunately, Master Lin is not in the capital, otherwise I don't know how many people will be envious, jealous and hateful, even so, the Lin Mansion in Jinling is about to be stepped on the threshold.
Compared with the previous time, Mrs. Lin's smile this time was much more sincere, after all, it was also a good thing for her that the Lin family was good, of course, the premise was not to steal the limelight from her son Lin Ruhai.
"The third place in the second class of the old man Xiao, the sixty-fourth place in the second class of the old man Hong, the eighty-seventh place in the second class of the third master of Tao, and the fifteenth place in the second class of the fifth master of the foreign state."
This is not much different from the ranking at the time of the examination, the Lin family has to thank the Zhong Dynasty here even if the palace examination is only opened after the sealing and re-ranking, otherwise according to some unspoken / rules / rules of officialdom, I am afraid that Lin Tao and Lin Yang will be beaten into the top three and reduced to the same jinshi, although the same jinshi is also a jinshi, but in the end it is still a little worse.
"Good!" Master Lin is overjoyed, although no one is in the first class, but the number is enough to make up for its shortcomings, the biggest shortcoming of the Lin family is that no one is mixed in the officialdom except for Master Lin, even if the Lin family has a background, the in-laws are also all kinds of strength, but this is still very dangerous, now there are about to have four children of the Lin family to enter the officialdom, how not to let the Lin family who has been trembling and afraid of decaying in his own hands The Lin family is excited.
The person who reported the good news said: "There is one more thing, Master Xiao asked the master to consider, after the list was issued, Lord Bai, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, sent someone to congratulate him, and it was revealed that Lord Bai wanted to recruit the fifth master of the foreign country as his son-in-law. ”
Although Lin's marriage is the words of his parents, he still has to consider all aspects of factors in the Lin family, don't pick an in-law who will be imprisoned immediately after getting married, Xiao and others have not yet entered the officialdom, and the people and things in the officialdom must not be known clearly as Master Lin, so naturally you have to ask Master Lin's opinion on this matter.
Lin Yang just happened to be double ten this year, his family is the fifth room of the Lin family's grandson, and his family background is nothing in the capital, but he is still the landlord of the land in Gusu. So it's not that he can't get a daughter-in-law, he has also agreed to kiss once before, but the unlucky fiancée is gone after a cold storm before he has passed the door.
At this time, Lin Yang is a high school jinshi, and he is still in the top two grades, and it is very possible to enter the Hanlin Academy as a Jishi with the Lin family's family background.
Naturally, Lin Yang, who was still a single nobleman at this time, became a fragrant bun in the eyes of others.
"Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Bai family." Master Lin lowered his head and thought about it, and then shook his head, "The Bai family and our family can be regarded as a good match, but the Bai family is not good." I'll write a letter by handwriting, and you will arrange for someone to send it to the capital immediately. ”
"Yes!"
After Master Lin wrote the letter, sealed it, and let people send it away, Lin Ruhai said puzzledly: "Father, my son remembers that the Bai family in the capital is also a scholarly family, and his family is also a world friend, why can't he get married?" ”
It is naturally better to marry two surnames, the Bai family's family background, future and political position are good, and it is higher than the Lin family's portal, it stands to reason that the Bai family intends to marry the Lin family There is no reason for reluctance, so Lin Ruhai is very puzzled by Master Lin's refusal.
Lin Liu also memorized the official list of important ministers of the imperial court and the relationship network of the Lin family, and naturally knew that the Bai family, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple was the official of the fourth grade, and he was not particularly powerful in the capital, but this Bai Lord was the second room of the Bai family, and the master of the Bai family was a cabinet scholar, and he was also a person who sat on the cabinet before the emperor was cleaned.
"What do you think about this?" Master Lin did not answer Lin Ruhai's question, but asked Lin Liu.
Lin Liu thought for a while and said, "My son heard that there was a concubine in the Bai family's big house who had entered the palace, but my father refused to marry the Bai family because of this?" ”
"How did you come up with that?" Master Lin didn't say anything wrong or right, but asked seriously.
"The son's words may be a little rebellious and disrespectful to His Royal Highness, but since ancient times, how many princes who have lost their mothers have ascended to the throne, and there is only one person in the palace who can become a winner's battlefield, and it is a winner-takes-all. And people's ambitions and desires are constantly changing with time and environment, and the Bai family may not have many ideas now, but wait for that white girl to give birth to the prince? Not to mention that the Bai family is powerful, even if they don't, they may not have any ambitions. My son only read the history book a few days ago, thinking that Zhao Feiyan, Liu E and others have a humble family background, but once they are favored, their ambitions and desires can't be stopped, not to mention the people who originally entered the palace with some purposes. Lin Liu said.
Although Lin Liu, who is not clear about Gong Dou, does not forget that his girlfriend in his previous life mixed with the Internet literary circle, Lin Liuyou still remembers that she said, "Only if you do a lot of evil in your previous life or have fallen mold for eighteen lifetimes, you will become a harem concubine, and the palace will not stop if the people in the palace do not die."
In addition, so many court TV dramas in later generations are what rod killing, framing, miscarriage, and one corpse and two lives at every turn, which must be extremely dangerous. Moreover, the history books also record the fate of many palace losers, Empress Guo of Emperor Guang of the Han Dynasty, Empress Xu of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, Empress Xiao Shufei of King Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, etc., which are still recorded, and I don't know how many are not recorded, for the emperor, the harem beauties are not an adjective.
Therefore, Lin Liu felt that anyone who took the initiative to send his daughter into the palace was playing with fire, and most of them couldn't play this fire well, and in the end they and their families were burned.
Master Lin nodded, "You have read those books thoroughly, I refuse the marriage of the Bai family, this is only one of them, after all, no one can say what will happen in the future." "In case the white girl can't give birth to a son, or can't get the emperor's favor, these are not good.
"The most important thing is that although the Bai family has suffered losses in the previous capital, the losses are not large, and they have become more and more prosperous in recent years, but everything must not be too full, otherwise it will flourish and decline. The emperor has just suffered from the ministers, I am afraid that he takes power very seriously, the Bai family has a big tail now, and I am afraid that it will be ...... in the future" Master Lin shook his head and did not say that, but Lin Liu and Lin Ruhai both understood that the emperor might not be used to the Bai family and then clean up the Bai family.
