Wan Lin arrived outside the palace gate this morning, and there was an internal attendant who specially took him, Tanhua, and Bangyan to join the company.

The inner chamberlain first took them to the official department to register for employment, and received the official seal and the goldfish bag for entering and leaving the palace.

They were just about to come out of the Ministry of Officials to go to the Hanlin Academy, and they happened to meet Lu Changzhi, a household servant who came to the Ministry of Officials to do business.

It's really not like a rivalry.

Without waiting for Wan Lin to salute Lu Changzhi in an embarrassed and polite manner, Song Xiuneng first bowed his hand to Lu Changzhi very respectfully: "Meet my father-in-law!" ”

Father-in-law?

Wan Lin was stunned.

Song Xiuneng is not from the capital, and he is not married, why is he called Lu Changzhi "Father-in-law?" ”

When Wan Lin was stunned, Lu Changzhi said to Song Xiuneng: "The virtuous son-in-law is exempt. Have you all completed the onboarding procedures? ”

Song Xiuneng lowered his eyebrows and replied obediently: "It's all done." ”

Lu Changzhi bowed slightly, "It's good to do it." ”

After Lu Changzhi finished talking to Song Xiuneng, he said to Wan Lin: "Wan Xiu, your famous old man has already heard of it, and when I saw Wan Xiuzhu in the Taihe Hall yesterday, I felt that you are beautiful and beautiful, with outstanding qualifications, and you are worthy of the name of the champion." ”

Although Wan Lin met with Lu Changzhi and other officials in the Taihe Hall yesterday, he only knew who each other was but did not say anything.

Now that he is face-to-face with Lu Changzhi, Wan Lin sees that he is a smiling tiger, and feels that he will not have much contact with him in the future, as long as he does not provoke him, he should be fine.

Wan Lin respectfully bowed his hand to Lu Changzhi, and said humbly: "Lord Lu has won the award, it is a fluke that the student can be at the top of the list, the student is not good at learning, and he has to learn more from his predecessors." ”

Lu Changzhi had never seen Wan Lin before, and he did have some resentment towards him, but after seeing Wan Lin, he was also amazed by Wan Lin's appearance.

He really wanted to bring Wan Lin to his side, but unfortunately Wan Lin had already become a family, and he had already attached himself to a noble person like the King of Zhenbei, and it was not easy to bring Wan Lin over.

Lu Changzhi wiped his beard and smiled kindly, "Wan Xiushu is really too modest, if Dachen had a few more young talents like the three of you, Dachen would be more politically savvy, and the people would have plenty of food and clothing!" ”

Lu Changzhi said to Xie Ziming again: "Xie Xiu's calligraphy is really amazing, and the old man will want to talk to you one day." ”

Xie Ziming was immediately flattered and said: "The student's calligraphy is still far from Master Lu, and I don't dare to talk about it, so I ask Lord Lu for more advice." ”

Lu Changzhi showed in front of them the appearance of a kind old man who was approachable and encouraged his younger generations.

Wan Lin's trouble was not with him, but with another person.

After seeing Wan Lin yesterday, Yuan Ge Lao also felt that Wan Lin was a talented man with outstanding qualities, but he was not like Lu Changzhi, who felt that there was no way to receive Wan Lin under his door and felt how sorry it was.

Yuan Ge Lao is an old minister of the three dynasties, is the most famous Confucian in Dachen, not only learned rich five cars, Bo ancient and modern, protégés everywhere, but also has the incomparable virtue and respect of the king of Zhenbei, even the emperor has to be respectful and humble in front of him.

Yuan Ge Lao is the teacher of the three princes, and he is also the uncle and grandfather of the three princes, and it is a supreme honor to be a student of Yuan Ge Lao, and it is easy to be promoted and make a fortune in the future.

The new recruits of the previous generations have to visit the Yuan Pavilion Elder and listen to the teachings of the Yuan Pavilion Elder, who never evaluates whose talent is according to the ranking, as long as he thinks who is good, he will focus on promoting whom.

Therefore, these newcomers to officialdom will rush to hug the thighs of the old Yuange.

When the three of Wan Lin arrived at the gate of the Hanlin Courtyard, they saw that the sedan chair of the old Yuan Pavilion had just stopped.

The inner attendant told them that this was the sedan chair of the old Yuange, and asked Wan Lin and the others to stop immediately, and respectfully wait in front of the old man's palanquin to meet him.

Wan Lin thinks that the Yuan Pavilion Elder should be a broad-minded and respectable person, although he inadvertently offended Lu Changzhi and indirectly offended the right minister, but the Yuan Pavilion Elder should not care about these things with him, so Wan Lin was relatively relaxed when facing the Yuan Pavilion Elder.

The old man of the Yuan Pavilion was wearing a scarlet official uniform, with a rich figure, white hair, and peaceful facial features, looking like a kind old man next door, but the old man of the Yuan Pavilion had an elegant and noble temperament, even if he was wearing cloth clothes, he could see that he was not an ordinary person.

Wan Lin was in awe of Yuan Ge Lao when he saw him yesterday, and Wan Lin admired Yuan Ge Lao's knowledge very much, and he might benefit a lot if he could say a few words to him.

Wan Lin stood in front of him with a feeling of worship and respect for the elder of the Yuan Pavilion and saluted him respectfully.

Yuan Ge Lao looked at the three of them with a light smile, and when they raised their heads, Yuan Ge Lao said to them: "The three new Hanlin are rare talents, especially Wan Xiu, your old man has already read the test paper, although you say that your handwriting is not as good as Xie Xiu, and your writing is slightly inferior to that of Song Xiu, but the answer in the palace test is very accurate, and your champion is well deserved." ”

However, the elder of the Yuan Pavilion seemed to be praising Wan Lin, but Wan Lin, Song Xiuneng and Xie Ziming were a little uncomfortable when they heard it.

Especially Wan Lin, how can he feel that he is inferior to Bangyan and Tanhua, but he just happened to be able to get lucky to win the champion by shooting the emperor's sycophants?

Wan Lin muttered in his heart, although Song Xiuneng and Xie Ziming didn't show anything on the surface, they both felt a little unwilling and unconvinced about Wan Lin.

"Hehe, you just came to the Hanlin Academy, there must be a lot of unfamiliar places, if you don't understand something, feel free to ask the old man, don't be polite to the old man. You go to the job first, and the old man will go to the library first. ”

The elder of the Yuan Pavilion left first, leaving the three people who felt embarrassed.

Wan Lin's previous good impression of Yuan Ge Lao disappeared in an instant just now, and he knew that every word said by a scheming person like Yuan Ge Lao was not meaningless.

The old man of the Yuan Pavilion was able to say such a hidden thing in front of Song Xiuneng and Xie Ziming, which really provoked the relationship between the three of them.

The inner chamberlain naturally understood what the elder Yuan Pavilion meant, but he was an outsider and had nothing to do with him.

"Three adults, let's go, you have just taken office, and you still have a lot to learn."

The chamberlain said in a respectful tone, continuing to lead the way ahead.

In order to break the awkward silence, Wan Lin opened his mouth first.

"Brother Xiuneng, I remember that your family is in a foreign country and you haven't married yet, when did you become Lord Lu's son-in-law? Why didn't you inform me and Brother Ziming of this happy event? ”

Song Xiuneng is a handsome white-faced gentleman, and his speech is always very elegant and modest, although he is dissatisfied with Wan Lin in his heart, he is still kind to Wan Lin on the surface.

"Brother Lin, you misunderstood. I have only made a marriage with the second miss of Lord Lu's family, and I have not officially married the second miss, and when I marry the second miss, of course I will send you and Brother Ziming a wedding post. ”

Xie Ziming also hurriedly said in order to break the embarrassment: "Hehe, so that's the case, that's really congratulations to Brother Xiu Neng!" We're waiting for your wedding card! ”

Wan Lin looked at Xie Ziming at this time and asked, "Brother Ziming, you must have been competing for your son-in-law by the old lady yesterday, right?" Have you married the daughter of a family of adults without telling us? ”

Xie Ziming immediately blushed, lowered his eyes and said: "I already have a marriage contract in my hometown, and when I settle down, I will complete the marriage contract." ”

Wan Lin suddenly praised Xie Ziming.

Xie Ziming is the toughest among the three of them, he has good facial features, a long figure, and a dark complexion, if he is not a little thinner, he would think he is a resolute general.

Wan Lin said sincerely: "Brother Ziming is really a person who values love and righteousness, Wan admires it!" Then when your good things are approaching, you can inform me and Brother Xiu Neng as soon as possible. You don't have anything to rely on in the capital, so our colleagues should naturally help you well. ”

Xie Ziming said politely: "I feel very grateful to have Brother Lin's words. But don't bother your colleagues, Xie's marriage can be simple. ”

Xie Ziming's words added to Wan Lin's good impression of him, and Wan Lin said sincerely: "Brother Ziming, don't be polite, if we can't do anything else, at least we can help you write an invitation and keep a good account." ”

When the three of them were talking, they unconsciously saw that they had walked into the door of the registration room of the Hanlin Academy, and the atmosphere immediately became solemn.

There are three floors of courtyard in the Hanlin Courtyard, and what they are entering now is the official registration room of the first floor of the courtyard, and they should be released every day, that is, they have to register here when they go to and from work.

Today is their first day of onboarding and the first day of registration.

There was an official in charge of registration who demonstrated the process of responding to the mao and releasing the government for them, and after the three of them had learned, they were taken to the place of work by the inner chamberlain.

Wan Lin was compiled by the Hanlin Academy, and his main responsibilities were to revise the history of the country, record the emperor's words and deeds, lecture on the history, and draft the manuscripts of the ceremony.

And Song Xiuneng and Xie Ziming are both editors of the Hanlin Academy, mainly drafting edicts, compiling and repairing historical books, and lecturing at banquets, and their positions are similar to those of Wan Lin, more like interns.

The person in charge of the Hanlin Academy is a bachelor of Zhengwupin, and the incumbent bachelor is called Zhu Fu, who is nearly sixty years old, knowledgeable, and rigorous in his work.

Zhu Fu was in charge of taking Wan Lin and the three of them to familiarize themselves with what their work was, and he had already been waiting for them in the Wenyuan Pavilion where various scripture and historical materials and manuscripts were stored.

After the three of Wan Lin met Master Zhu, they began today's work.

There are a lot of precious historical books on the shelves, and the three of them feel particularly excited just by looking at these books and smelling the fragrance of books.

After taking them back and forth in the middle of the bookshelf, Master Zhu picked up a book from the bookshelf and said to them: "This book is Your Majesty's favorite history book, although it is not a serious history, but most of the events are relatively true. Your Majesty likes to excerpt some words and phrases from the above to use in the edict, and you must read this book thoroughly, so that it can be convenient for the drafting of the edict in the future and explain the history of the scriptures to the emperor. ”

Wan Lin immediately asked, "May I ask my lord, is there only one book in this book?" ”
