Chapter 255: Report to the Hanlin Academy
Han Fei held his newly received official uniform and followed the little eunuch to the outside of the palace, but he kept thinking about why the emperor asked about his relatives. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he realized that it was most likely because of the Ninth Princess Zhang Wanyi.
Now the question is, if the emperor really assigned the ninth princess to him, then what should Xue Baoqin do? Han Fei and Xue Baoqin have a deep relationship, and it is impossible to abandon her, but she is the daughter of the Xue family, and it is impossible to be a concubine, even if she is willing, the Xue family can't afford to lose face.
However, can he give up the ninth princess Zhang Wanyi for Xue Baoqin? He and the Ninth Princess are also friends in distress, their love is deep-rooted, and the two of them are still husband and wife, and this matter is even more out of control.
More importantly, Xue Baoqin and the Ninth Princess Zhang Wanyi are both infatuated with him, and they both swear that they will not marry him, how can he bear to hurt two infatuated women?
When Han Fei thought of this, his head swelled, no matter how complicated the situation was outside, he could handle it easily, but he was always a mess about this emotional problem. Sometimes, he asks himself whether he is too casual in emotionally handling, or whether he is born a lover and has experienced love in this world.
Thinking of Xue Baoqin, Han Fei thought of the marriage contract between the Xue family and Mei Hanlin, if the marriage contract between Xue Baoqin and Mei Hanlin's son is not dissolved, the two of them will not have a future. That marriage contract was a thorn in his heart, and he had to pull it out, but it had to be kept secret, and it wouldn't be good for anyone if it made a big fuss.
After Han Fei left the palace, he took his own carriage outside and quickly returned to Hanfu.
"Second brother is back?"
Han Fei was a little surprised when he saw Jia Baoyu waiting in the front hall, and hurriedly said, "Why is the third brother free to go to the house, have you been waiting for a long time?" ”
"I'm an idler, today the second brother was sealed, the younger brother came to celebrate, and on the orders of my grandmother, I invite you to participate in my grandmother's birthday banquet next month!"
"Third brother, I'm just a routine reward this time, there's nothing to celebrate, as for my grandmother's birthday banquet, I must go, why do I need to invite?"
"Second brother, it's spread outside, you have been promoted to three levels in a row this time, and the saint directly crowned you as a bachelor from the five-grade Hanlin Academy, a great event, of course you have to celebrate!"
"In the Hanlin Academy, whether it is a revision or a bachelor's degree, they are all idle jobs, except for a little more, there is no substantive difference, and the most important thing for the new science and technology is experience! Okay, let's not talk about this, if the third brother has nothing to do, let's go have a drink! ”
"No, another day, I still have some things to do when I go home, you must come to my grandmother's birthday banquet!"
"Don't worry, my grandmother treats me like a grandson, how can I not go?"
Sending Jia Baoyu away, Han Fei rushed to the backyard with his official uniform, and Wang Ruolan had already received the news and greeted him at the gate of the courtyard. Han Fei saw that Wang Ruolan was dressed again, and casually threw the official uniform to her, and said, "Don't be so serious in the future, are you tired?" ”
"The lord came back today, and the sisters are not there, and the concubine is a representative, so she should be grand!"
"Not at home!" Han Fei suddenly stopped and said, "I'll talk to Ling'er about something!" ”
Han Fei walked into the single courtyard assigned to Ling'er, and saw that she was discussing with Qinglong and a few people, so he said, "Ling'er, how is the progress of the Purple Mansion?" ”
"See the master!" After Ling'er and a few people gave a salute, he said: "At present, the progress is quite smooth, and hundreds of dark piles have been established in the capital!" ”
"As an intelligence organization, the most important thing is to train informants, and to penetrate informants into the target, including Jinyi Mansion. The information was collected, and the four of the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, as the commanders of the Quartet, also had to go out to verify it in person. Xuanwu first took some people to Jinling and escorted several aunts to the capital. ”
Han Fei pondered for a moment, and then said: "Ling'er, the first mission of the Purple Mansion, go and give me Chamei Hanlin!" ”
As Han Fei's personal attendant, Ling'er naturally knew the reason for Cha Mei Hanlin, and immediately replied: "Master, the slave obeys the order!" ”
Back in the backyard, Han Fei told Wang Ruolan about Wang Ziteng's initiative to show goodwill, since the Wang family put down the high shelf, the Han family can't ignore it, after all, they are relatives, and it's okay to move around slowly.
Around Shen Shi, Han Fei changed into civilian clothes and went to the mansion of Gong Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Gong Jing made an appointment to talk to Han Fei, and returned home early after leaving duty.
Gong Jing and Han Fei's master and apprentice chatted while eating in the side hall, and naturally talked about the rights and wrongs in the court, and the matters to be paid attention to in interpersonal communication. In the last palace test, Han Fei skillfully slapped the first assistant of the cabinet, not only was he not punished, but the emperor also promoted him to three levels in a row, and he was directly awarded the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy from the fifth grade, which is intriguing.
The emperor's favor of Han Fei is one thing, and people with a heart can also see that the emperor is already dissatisfied with Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, which is why Ruan Wenyuan, the nephew of the first assistant of the cabinet, although he can test Yayuan, is not the reason why he has not won the palace test list, but only the second-class jinshi.
Gong Jing admired Han Fei, of course, there was also a sense of wooing, if Ruan Changfeng fell, the most likely cabinet winner would be Han Fei's mentor Du Yun.
"Shouzheng, you have a calm temperament, the old man is very relieved, but in the near future, you should keep a low profile and make as few enemies as possible!"
"Students should follow the teachings of their teachers!"
"Well, keep upright, you're not too young, it's time to consider marrying a wife!"
Han Fei chuckled in his heart, Gong Jing couldn't care about this matter, and suddenly remembered that he had a daughter who had not yet left the cabinet, and this matter had to be decided early, otherwise when Gong Jing brought it up, it would hurt his face if he refused again.
"Thank you for your concern, the emperor also talked about this matter when he summoned him today, and the students must be prepared early!"
Gong Jing's expression on his face froze, the emperor asked, so ...... Gong Jing understood that his daughter was no longer blessed. But his Taoism is profound after all, and he immediately adjusted his mentality, and said with his head bowed: "Shouzheng, the emperor has asked, you still have to wait, maybe the emperor will have further instructions!" ”
The master and apprentice talked very speculatively, Han Fei returned to the mansion, it was already the second watch, and the women in the family were still waiting. He laughed with the women for a while before resting.
Early the next morning, Han Fei put on his official uniform, first rushed to the official department to register, received the sigil, and then rushed to the Hanlin Academy to report.
Hanlin Yuan is a noble yamen, covering a very wide area, the Dahua Dynasty has the rule of "non-Jinshi do not enter Hanlin, non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet", so although the Hanlin Yuan gatehouse is not obvious, the grade of Hanlin is not high, but no one dares to despise here, the worst person who goes out from here is also the magistrate of Shangxian County, and some people may directly enter the center of the imperial court.
These days are the concentrated time for the new Hanlin and Shujishi to report for duty, and the Hanlin Bachelor in charge of the Hanlin Academy specially assigns messengers to prepare for the reception. However, the second-class and third-class jinshi are still waiting for the examination in the Ministry of Officials, and they will not come to report until they receive the title of Shujishi.
Han Fei rushed to the gate of the Hanlin Courtyard, looked at the slightly gray gatehouse of the Hanlin Courtyard, and walked straight towards the door. He is now a bachelor of waiting, and he is only a bachelor of the fifth grade of Hanlin who is taller than him, and he is at the same level, according to the establishment, there are two bachelors of the Hanlin Academy from the fifth grade, and he is above 10,000 people under one person in the Hanlin Academy, so he is naturally too lazy to find someone to report.
"Who are you to trespass on the Hanlin Academy?"
The messenger guarding the door went to the Qinglou last night to toss all night, was in a state of malaise, was dozing, found someone entering the door, instinctively asked, and when he saw Han Fei's official uniform style, he hurriedly ran out of the door, Shi Li said: "Dare to ask who the adults are looking for?" The small ones will be reported for you! ”
