The autumn chrysanthemum in the imperial capital is in full bloom. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Rongguo Mansion is full of people coming and going, and it is very lively. The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, and the Rongguo Mansion is preparing to worship the ancestors. Everything is controlled by Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng.

Jia Zheng, who came back from duty, was in the backyard of Rongguo Mansion, chatting with his ancestors.

"Son, I look tired lately, pay attention to my body. Goryeo's red ginseng will be stewed in a small cup of jade to replenish the body. The old woman's tone was full of concern, and her hand touched the freshly made amber garment, and her eyes were full of satisfaction.

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "I'm tired of my mother's thoughts." Jia Yucun went to Beijing not long ago, with a letter of recommendation from Lin Ruhai, asking me to find a good errand for him. It was a family five hundred years ago, and the virtue and talent of this rain village are also very good, and he has found a position for him to be the prefect of the heavens, and he will have a care for him in the future. ”

Mother Jia still loves beauty, her head is exquisite, and the pair of jade the size of pigeon eggs on the earrings stretches the already loose earlobes longer. The subordinates who can pat on the back also boast of the Buddha's face and treasure, which is a sign of immortality.

She took a sip of tea and said slowly: "You don't have to talk about these things outside with my old woman. It's just that my poor granddaughter, who has no mother, is weak and doesn't know what to do. When I married a good husband, I pity my girl for her poor fortune, and she didn't enjoy many good days, so she ......" As she spoke, tears rolled in her eyes.

Jia Zheng hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the matter: "My son just received a handwritten letter from Ruhai last night, saying that he found the mother and son who were lost back then, and now Amin has passed away for many years, and this eldest son has returned home, so he wants to help his mother as the main room to ask the meaning of the ancestor." ”

Mother Jia's face changed, and she said, "What does he mean by asking me, isn't this asking for my granddaughter's life!" ”

"This is the Lin family's business, and my son feels that he can't interfere. If the mother feels sorry for Amin's child, it is better to receive Jingshi, firstly, to relieve the mother's pain of thinking about her daughter, and secondly, to ease the relationship between the Lin family. ”

"Well, I think it's possible. Hurry up and write to Yangzhou to bring my granddaughter. Mother Jia showed a smile on her face, a large family, people are prosperous, this is the scene that the old lady is happy to see, especially the most beloved daughter, Aiwu and Wu, for Daiyu, who has never met, Mother Jia is also very concerned.

A subtle smile appeared at the corner of Jia Zheng's mouth, "Yes, my son will do it." ”

……

……

Not long after Lin Lan was comfortable in Yangzhou for a few days, this Wang Yan was ready to take him to Jinling. originally thought that his father and mother would have some objections, but unexpectedly there was no objection.

Lin Lan was sold like this.

Wang Yan used to be the crown prince and the prince, and now the teacher of the saint, according to his words, if Lin Lan wants to worship him, then he must return to Jinling, enter Wende Academy to study, and finally have the opportunity to apprentice in the Temple of Literature.

Lin Ruhai didn't say a word, and immediately agreed to the request of the old man, and Lin Lan had no choice but to go to Jinling with him.

Avon has been following Lin Lan to Yangzhou City in the past few days, and her mood is also a lot more relaxed, and she is inevitably a little disappointed when she hears that Lin Lan is going to Jinling. However, Lin Lan handed over the matter of locking and unlocking every day, and he was not afraid of any more dangerous situations.

After everything was in order, Lin Lan followed her eldest father to Jinling to study.

"Do you know why I brought you to Jinling?"

"Lin Lan doesn't know."

Wang Yan said: "Let me give you an example. There are more than 300 Jinshi in the same department as your father. Your father is Sanding Jia, and Zhuang Yuanlang is a scholar in the home of a squire in Dengzhou, and he was appointed as a scholar in the Hanlin Academy for two years, and he was sent to the alternate county order. Now that the year of destiny has passed, he is still in Laizhou as a governor, and the other list is not as good as your father, do you know why? ”

"I don't know." Lin Lan said that she didn't know, but her heart was naturally open. Tanhualang back then, when he became the son-in-law of Jiafu, he naturally gained fame and fortune, and there was a way for him to go above the court.

"This matter shouldn't have been talked about with a stunned young man like you who hasn't waited for a career, but the old man is afraid that it will be too late and delay your future."

"Please also ask my father for guidance."

Wang Yan stroked his beard and said: "Even if you are a little self-aware, you are not carried away by a poet. Do you know what two types of people the court doesn't want to use the most? One of them is those mediocre people who come from humble backgrounds and have no vision. The imperial examination can actually select talents and talents, but on paper, it is shallow after all. Born in the countryside, with less knowledge, it is difficult for such people to take on big responsibilities, even if such people enter the Hanlin Academy, they will be transferred to leave Beijing after a year or two. ”

"Then the second must be the hereditary generation of the princes and nobles."

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Why do you think so? ”

"The former is too stupid, and the latter is naturally too smart. Once in power, with the power in his hands, he will naturally form a party for personal gain, which is naturally not something that the saint is happy to see. ”

"The child can be taught. So don't look at the infinite scenery of the four major families in Jinling now, but those are all merits accumulated by the ancestors, and they can only last for a few more generations, no one can say. Now that the four clans are officials, which one can worship the top three grades? Even if there was a family and two dukes in Jiafu at the beginning, and now the people who are officials in the imperial court are only a member of the Ministry of Labor. The same is true of the other three tribes. ”

Lin Lan naturally understands that these wealthy families must not be the favored choice of today's saints, I am afraid that Jia Zheng's official position is also because Jia Daishan played on his deathbed and begged for the official position.

"And although I am out of the king's house, I can rise to the top, do you know why?"

"Lan'er doesn't know."

Wang Yan said: "It's not the two powerful ones in Jingshi that are one of them, of course, ability is also one thing. The career is long, you haven't even passed the children's exam, telling you this, I just want you to know that the imperial examination is not just to know the answer sheets of the exam, and those who can get to the top are all those who fight and win outside the imperial examination. ”

Lin Lan said slowly: "So there are people who rely on their mentors, and some people who rely on wealthy chaebols, so it's not wrong to get to the top, right?" ”

"You've finally figured it out. Anyone can read books, and whether they read well or poorly does not matter much to the country or the people, the key is how to govern. When you arrive in Jinling, you will enter Wende Academy, if you have a chance, and then study with the old man for a few years, you can be regarded as a righteous protégé of the emperor, this layer of gilding, will give you the icing on the cake of your career. ”

Lin Lan squinted and smiled, she was not stupid enough to jump out of the car at this time, and then shouted at the right time to rely on her own strength, the ancients were not all fools, if the officialdom and the imperial examination room were really clear, it would be ridiculous.

Throughout the ages, how many talented people have been defeated in the officialdom?

"Then thank you for your support." Lin Lan understands that this is a rare opportunity, and the imperial examination and career are really not as simple as answering on paper.

Wang Yan snorted coldly, slapped a piece of crumpled rice paper on a few cases, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, make up this poem for me!" ”

"Huh?" Lin Lan couldn't laugh or cry, this Wang Yan was still thinking about that night, but he seemed to really forget, except for these two famous sentences, how did he memorize the rest of the sentences......

PS: There is a typhoon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is very cool~~ It's just a little cold. In addition, thank you for the tips! ^-^
