After Emperor Tianlong returned to Beijing, there was a bloody storm, how many powerful people in the capital fell, and how many emerging families stood up. There was a change of people in the court, and Emperor Tianlong took the opportunity to put a group of capable people who were from humble backgrounds but had real talents and real learning into the vacant positions.

The talent selection method of obtaining official positions by recommendation enabled large families like Qi, Chu, Qin, and Wei to monopolize official positions in the court and China for hundreds of years, and even the emperor was subject to their overhead control. The imperial examination, which was used as an auxiliary means of selecting talents at the time of the founding of the dynasty, was on the rise.

By suppressing the power of Yan Yong, who had once deposed the crown prince, there was a vacuum in the bureaucracy of the DPRK and China, and the imperial examination system also had the opportunity to become the mainstream of the imperial court.

In order to avoid being involved in the purge of the Dongping County Palace, the Lin family closed their doors to visitors, and Lin Quan had a lot of time to urge his son to study hard, so that he could share a piece of the reform of the imperial examination in the future.

Lin Qiantan remembered that the cousins in the second room were preparing to take the imperial examination, Lin Dong took precautions, while trying his best to compete for the title of marquis, on the other hand, he strictly supervised his two sons from the time they were young, and Lin Quan also fought with him in the ring and for the lead.

The imperial examination system is not fully regulated, there are still many loopholes that can be exploited, and they are excluded by family groups such as the Wei family, and people with some powerful positions like the Lin family are fine, but it is a little difficult for those from poor families to get ahead. And this is also the status quo that Emperor Tianlong is eager to break.

Lin Qiantan and Wei Jiayin have frequent contacts, but there is also an irreconcilable contradiction between the friendship between the two, Wei Jiayin is an authentic family girl, although she also admires people with talent and morality, but in fact, she is trying her best to protect the interests of the family in her bones, and she can't look down on the children of the poor family.

The Lin family where Lin Qiantan was born was only a knight who was loved by the emperor in Lin Yangde's early years, and actually had no foundation. Back then, the Chu family married the second daughter to the Lin family, which attracted the envy of many people.

Compared with the hard work of the second brother, the only son, who is also Lin Quan's high hopes, is not angry at all, and it is no wonder that in the past few days, I have always heard the beating of hatred over there. Lin Ziye is not high or low, he can read and write, but what he reads is all obscene poetry.

Lin Qiantan didn't care about Lin Ziye's study, but she had long been suspicious of the other party's increasingly eccentric attitude towards her.

Sending Chu Ling away, Lin Qiantan seemed to have completed a major event, put away the fragments of the Jinghua Dream Picture that she got by chance, and either slipped out of the back door to do some business on weekdays, or closed the door to read some books that she had memorized a long time ago.

Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. Speaking of which, this is taught by Yin Tenacity.

The funny thing is that the person who taught her these truths is a traitor himself.

Yin Ren took the opportunity to clean up the court for Emperor Tianlong, wantonly eradicated dissidents and supported his own people to ascend to the throne. In the harem, the imperial concubine Yin Qiang is still standout.

The call for the appointment of the second prince as the crown prince has also become louder and louder.

The Yin clan was in the limelight for a while, and its prestige was even better than that of several great families who had been entrenched in the court for hundreds of years. Wei Jiayin repeatedly mentioned it to Lin Qiantan, saying that the elders in her family were dissatisfied with the Yin family.

The Yin clan is rising, and Dong Yong, who was supposed to take off in one fell swoop on this wave of east wind, was beaten back to his original shape, but at this time, Yin Huai, who should have died under the peony flowers, was still alive.

Dong Yong became a frequent visitor to the Nanfeng Pavilion, and whenever Lin Qiantan sent someone to follow him, he heard that he was full of spring breeze when he came out after staying overnight. Lin Qiantan then sent a message to the bustard's father in the Nanfeng Pavilion, telling the bustard's father that Dong Yong's family still has money, and he can slaughter pigs more powerfully.

Lin Qiantan wanted him to be poor.

As summer turned to autumn, looking at the leaves falling from the sky, Lin Qiantan couldn't help but think of the last autumn before her death in her previous life.

When she returned to Dong's house, Dong Yong always thought that she had slept with yin tenacity, and he was very angry with her. Mother-in-law Yin also tried hard, saying that she seduced her uncle and told her to wash dishes and mop the floor with hunger and pain.

The slut mother and son ate her dowry and used her as a slave.

Lin Qiantan thought that the execution ground in the snow in winter was not ready, and before that, she could first negotiate with the Dong family for interest.

The bustard's father received the message from the new boss, and naturally knew how to do it, so he replied the next day that Dong Yong was singing another night of spring songs, sprinkling money like dirt, and spending a hundred taels of silver in one night.

How much dowry Dong Yin's family has, Lin Qiantan doesn't say everything clearly, but she also knows that it is not far from ten. It is not in vain that she specially spent a sum of money to buy the Nanfeng Pavilion, the bustard's father is a capable person, one hundred taels of silver, which is enough for one-tenth of the dowry of the Dong Yin family.

The Dong family is not very wealthy, and that dowry is not enough for Dong Yong to consume a few times.

Of course, Dong Yong is not a person who is closed to news, the Yin family has gone to the next level, of course he has also got the news, he was very comfortable being served by the Lang Qi inside in the Nanfeng Pavilion in the front, and he went to the Yin family on the back foot, thinking about asking his uncle to give him a chance.

Yin Ren happened to go back to the house, and was bumped into by him, Dong Yong was entangled, and Yin Ren didn't rush people, so he simply let him enter the door and pour feces and rub the toilet in the thatched house of the Yin family.

Dong Yong, in order to make Yin Ren accept him again, actually agreed to such a request.

The Song family and others also hated Dong Yong's idea of being ordered by Yin Wei's mother and daughter to fight Lin Qiantan again and again, and of course they were relieved when they heard this, but Lin Qiantan said: "Not yet, since he likes to pick up feces and rub the toilet for the Yin family, let him rub it first." Winter hasn't arrived yet.

What does the thatched house of the Yin family look like, Lin Qiantan is much clearer than the Song family, although it is cleaner than other houses, but the thatched house is a thatched house, how can there be anything that is not dirty.

Moreover, the thatched house of the Yin family is still very large.

The funniest thing is that he does this during the day, and still goes to the Nanfeng Pavilion at night for recreation, Lin Qiantan secretly increased the salary of the little lang who served him, which can be regarded as a consolation for his hard work of enduring the smell of Dong Yong's body.

Without Dong Yong, of course Yin Wei would not have no men to recommend to Lin Qiantan, but everyone knows that there is a lot of noise outside, and Yin Wei is not willing to mess with the mandarin duck spectrum to give her life in.

Therefore, this period of time can also be regarded as a good window period for the Chu family to seek marriage.

Lin Bixiang was called into the palace by Princess Jinhua and hasn't come back yet, Lin Qiantan counts the days, and it is not a few days before Jinhua marries Rongguo.

Emperor Tianlong didn't seem to be afraid of losing face in front of the envoys of Rongguo, and held banquets to entertain the envoys from time to time, as if the two countries had not just fought a war. While vigorously cleaning up Yan Shao's forces left in the court, but where is Yan Shao so simple and it is over?

It's just that an assassination attempt failed, but in fact, it couldn't move Yan Shao's bones, on the contrary, although the forces in the DPRK and China were cut off, Lin Qiantan knew that he still had a drama to sing.
