Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Before the palace examination, a re-examination is required, and after the re-examination, the palace examination will be held on April 21.

Before dawn, Jia Min got up early, helped Lin Ruhai wash and change clothes, and ate something fine. Fang personally sent him out of the second gate, surrounded by his servants, and ordered Lin Ruhai to be sent safely to the palace. in front of the door.

Seeing Jia Min's worried face, Qing Kong persuaded, "Madam, don't worry, with our master's talents and learning, he will definitely be on the gold list."

Jia Min specially wore a red dress today, with a pattern of three-yuan gold weaving, and golden flowers on the bun, and ordered someone to take two red rulers to cut clothes for the servants who were serving him, just for the sake of getting a lot of money. Hearing Qing Kong's words, he smiled and said, "I never doubt the master's talent, but it's just a day to go here, from morning to night, and I can hand in the papers at dusk, and I'm always thinking about it."

Qing Kong smiled and said: "It's not yet dawn, my wife should go back and rest for a while, the master will come back in the evening, my wife will be busy."

Jia Min thought for a while and held her hand to go back.

However, Lin Ruhai has already experienced it once, and at this time, compared to the anxiety of others, the expression on his face is very calm.

The weather in April is already slightly warm, but it is warmer than the spring in February, and cooler than the scorching summer in May. Wearing a single shirt in the spring has killed many people. Now Lin Ruhai is wearing a light blue single shirt, which is just right, elegant and elegant Among a group of students who are at least 30 years old and the oldest is 60 years old, he is the only one who is under 30 years old, making him stand out from the crowd.

The officials who rolled the rolls and unwrapped the rolls couldn't help but glance at Lin Ruhai, and secretly sighed, how young he is.

After the worship and salutation, the officials will issue the policy questions. The saints will come up with the questions for the palace examination, but the saints don’t have to show up. Of course, if the saints want to, they will come to inspect. Lin Ruhai never saw the saint when he participated in the palace examination three years later traces.

After receiving the policy question, Lin Ruhai did not write directly, but looked at the question carefully. It was indeed the question in his previous life, and he had practiced it countless times. He has been an official for many years. Emperor Xuankang liked pragmatic language and gorgeous words, that is to say, the article must have something to say, but the wording must be extraordinarily gorgeous, so Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment, and re-written to solve the topic, even though it was a topic he knew earlier, he wrote a new chapter.

In his previous life, he was Tanhua, and in this life he hopes to go further.

However, the hand-picked first-class depends on the meaning of the sage, not necessarily respecting literary excellence, he can only do his best.

While others were still thinking about it, Lin Ruhai had already written a long paragraph of text. Although it was a must-have imperial examination style, it was more than correct, but not beautiful enough, but what kind of person Lin Ruhai was, he showed it naturally and had a strong character.

Not wanting Emperor Xuankang to come suddenly, he stood next to several students to watch him write articles, and then walked up to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai was the youngest of the students this time, and he was very outstanding. Emperor Xuankang liked it when he saw it. He stood for a long time and read his article carefully. Although it was not finished, he was already showing his glory, so he nodded unconsciously. Secretly praised.

It's not that Lin Ruhai has never met Emperor Xuankang. He has a firm mind and does not squint. Others looked at him with a little apprehension and a little envy. It can make the saint stay for so long and then nod in praise. In this palace test, except for Lin Ruhai, There was no one else, they only wondered what Lin Ruhai was capable of, but they never thought that he had real talents.

Emperor Xuankang looked at Lin Ruhai's name, place of origin, etc. on the examination paper, and suddenly remembered the old minister. When he came out, he asked his servant, "The young man named Lin Hai just now is the Gongsheng who did not participate in the palace examination when Fuling returned home six years ago. ?”

The servant followed Emperor Xuankang for a long time, and hurriedly replied: "I don't know this little one."

Emperor Xuankang was somewhat satisfied. He didn't care too much about the eunuchs around him outside, but he was not allowed to inquire about the affairs of the court, so he didn't blame him. Instead, he laughed and scolded: "You have been with me for many years, what do you know? If he's wrong, it's him, and he's the son of an aristocratic family after meritorious service. Who says the aristocratic family is so rich? I see Lin Ruhai as a talented person, full of knowledge."

After grading the test papers, he looked at the ten test papers handed over by the examiner, and there was indeed one for Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai's handwriting is the best, and the article is the best. Emperor Xuankang read it, and immediately appointed Lin Ruhai as the number one scholar. After singing the name, he specially summoned Lin Ruhai. Asked: "Qing Fuling returned to his hometown six years ago, and he was supposed to come back for the exam three years ago, why did it take another three years to arrive?"

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said respectfully: "Jiaci passed away three years ago, so I have been mourning for three years."

He didn't expect that he would be the No. 2 in high school. After the gold list was posted, the whole family was overjoyed and congratulatory guests filled the door. However, the No. [-] scholar in his previous life was selected as Tanhua in this life. The original Tanhua did not become the No. The first place, the original second-class No.[-] became the second place in this division.

The number one scholar started with a sixth rank, and I believe he will be better in official career in this life than in his previous life.

After hearing this, Emperor Xuankang sighed a few times, and asked again: "You have ever won Xie Yuan and Hui Yuan? But?"

Lin Ruhai said humbly: "The students have little talent and learning, and they are valued by the teacher, so they are nominated as the first name."

Lin Ruhai is the son of an old official, so Emperor Xuankang was unavoidably kind, and said with a smile, "Now that Qing has won the number one prize again, it can be regarded as three prizes in a row." After finishing speaking, he bestowed gold flowers and red clothes, and ordered the drummers to embrace him out of the palace and return Home.

At that time, it was late spring, green willows were like silk, and flowers were blooming like brocade. The Ministry of Rites had already prepared the umbrella cover ceremony, surrounded by the number one scholar, the second place, and Tanhua came out of the palace. It has already been crowded with people, but in all restaurants and teahouses, the screen windows are open, and everyone is looking at them with their heads.

The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, seeing Chang'an flowers in one day.

Using these words to describe Lin Ruhai's state of mind at this time could not be more appropriate. He is riding on a horse, adorned with flowers and covered with red, and walking in front of him, his face is white and his eyes are clear, like jade like stars. Ten, is also born handsome and extraordinary, but the second place Wang Ruinian is in his forties, so he looks a bit ordinary.

The team passed by the restaurant, and someone from the upstairs window said: "Is that the new champion? I didn't expect to be so young and promising."

Immediately someone replied: "That's right, how many young scholars were the champions in previous years? Even Jinshi, most of them are in their 60s and [-]s. Among the old men, the champion is even more impressive. Look, this one The number one scholar in Ke was born so well, I don’t know which family he is from, how can parents be proud when they come home like this?”

The first person laughed and said, "I know which family he is from, but there are no parents in the family anymore."

They are all people of some status. They are in the market place, so their words are unscrupulous. When the last person asked who it was, the person said: "Don't you remember that six years ago, there was a young brother who won a prize in one fell swoop?" The first place in the exam, because my father passed away and returned to my hometown, I didn't take part in the palace exam, otherwise I won't know if I became the number one scholar six years ago."

After hearing this, the last person clapped his hands and said: "I remembered, is he the son of Mr. Lin, the great-grandson of Marquis of Ning'an, who is a first-class man? Now Mr. Lin has won the first prize again, and the sky is just around the corner, thinking that the grandson and son of Rong Guogong are only the first-class generals."

The first person sighed: "Isn't it his family, the family of Liehou, the family of scholars, but unfortunately there is a fly in the ointment, the descendants have always been weak, the number one scholar has no sisters and brothers to support him, and now he has no heirs under his knees."

Because the two men were leaning against the window when they were talking, the people in the next door's screened window could hear clearly, and their faces were thoughtful.

But I saw seven or eight people in this private room, five or six girls in half-worn red silk jackets and green satin vests with pinched teeth, and a nurse, and the one who leaned out the window was a young lady.

This young lady is about fifteen or sixteen years old. She has long eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and red lips. She is actually a beauty. She is wearing a pink and two-color gold pair of trousers and a big red pomegranate skirt, revealing two spots underneath. Jin Lian, wearing a hairpin ring representing her rank and status, has an extraordinary momentum, and she can be seen at a glance as the pampered princess of the palace.

She looked at the back of Lin Ruhai going away, and remembered that when Lin Ruhai passed by, his face was like beautiful jade, his eyes were like bright stars, he was really an outstanding talent, his face was flushed, and his heart moved secretly.

The nanny seemed to feel something was wrong, and reminded: "Princess, don't look, what is there to see outside? Careful son, come back and see."

After hearing this, the princess did not leave the window. Instead, she pulled the nanny and asked, "Grandma Jin heard it just now. It is said outside that the champion of the new division is young and promising. Passing downstairs, it is really like Zhilan Yushu, and it is still a marquis." And after that."

Nanny Jin hurriedly said: "Princess, how honorable is the princess of Nan'an Palace, a girl's family, how can you talk about outsiders like this?"

It turned out that the princess was the eldest daughter of the Nan'an Palace, named Huo Can, who was only 16 years old. Because she was deeply loved by Emperor Xuankang, she was already named the princess when she was young, and because of her parents' pity, she couldn't get along. He is the one who wants to, so he is still kept in the boudoir.

Huo Chan curled his lips and said: "A mouth is born to speak, if you don't speak, what's the use of having a mouth?"

Nanny Jin frowned tightly. The princess was spoiled by her parents since she was a child, domineering, and arrogant. If she tried to persuade her like this, she might end up with something wrong, so she couldn't help but soften her tone, and said: "The princess is getting old. The concubine is picking a good family for the princess and asking the sage for a marriage. How can the princess speak like a child? Let people hear it carefully. The prince can't beat the princess, so he will bring the princess out. If the prince and princess know the princess With the words of the Lord today, how will the son of the world deal with himself?"

Huo Can didn't take it seriously, but pushed open the window and looked in the direction where Lin Ruhai and the others were leaving. At this time, there was no one in sight, but she still remembered her heartbeat when she suddenly saw Lin Ruhai, and said: "Still picking What? I think the new champion is pretty good."

After hearing Huo Can's astonishing words, Nanny Jin was frightened out of her wits and said sharply: "Princess, you can't say that!"

Huo Can gave her a dissatisfied look, and said, "Why can't you say it? When I go back, I will tell my parents that I already have someone I like, so there is no need to pick someone else for me."

As she spoke, she pointed to a maidservant and said, "Xiao Cui, go and find out where the champion of the new department lives."
