Early in the morning on the ninth day of February, Lin Hai, accompanied by the old housekeeper and several accompanying servants, came to the gate of the Gong Yuan.Standing in the long queue, I looked up and saw horizontal plaques on the three gates in the middle of the five dragon gates of the Gongyuan.Seeing this, Lin Hai, who was charged with the mission of revitalizing the Lin family, couldn't help feeling agitated in his heart, and secretly thought: As long as he can cross this Longmen, the Lin family will be revived.

Soon Lin Hai was called by name, followed by a body search.Seeing the envious eyes of others when they saw the woolen sweater he was wearing, which was hand-knitted by his fiancée, Lin Hai couldn't help feeling proud.Thinking about the eight-treasure noodle tea fried by his fiancée in the food box and those pills that replenish vitality and refresh the mind, Lin Hai only felt warm in his heart.He became even more determined, and vowed to be named on the gold list, so that he could marry his beautiful wife into the Lin family as soon as possible.

When all the candidates entered the examination shed, the gate of the Gongyuan was locked.Lin Hai walked into his test room, and there was only a table, a pot of charcoal fire, a candle, and nothing else in it.When the test questions were issued, there was a sound of drumming upstairs in Mingyuan, and Lin Hai, together with a group of examinees, began to think hard and write an essay.

After finally surviving three consecutive nine-day examinations, Lin Hai was taken back to the Lin Mansion by the housekeeper and his servants.The Jia family also sent a steward to pick up the uncle, and followed the people of Lin's mansion to send his uncle back to the Lin's mansion, leaving behind a jar of fruit wine brewed by Jia Min himself and some health-care pills.

Not to mention how the Lin family's mother and son are more satisfied with Jia Min, and they have long been looking forward to marrying him back as soon as possible.Simply speaking, on the day when the list was released, both the Lin family and the Jia family sent people to wait outside the tribute courtyard early.When the list was released, two clever young men got into the crowd and squeezed to the front. When they looked up, they saw that their uncle/uncle was on the list, and they were at the top, even though they were not Hui Yuan, they were also ranked No.4.

The two servants with happy faces hurried back to announce the good news to the steward. After the stewards of the two mansions congratulated each other, they hurried back to the mansion to report the news.Lin's mother heard that her son was really famous in the apricot list, she couldn't help crying, and cried: "Fortunately, my brother Hai is up-to-date, and I can finally be worthy of the Lin family's ancestors. Even if I go down to see your father in the future, I will be able to see you." Satisfy him." Weeping and crying, he wanted to tell Lin Hai, the ancestor of the Lin family, that he became a tribute.

Lin Hai was afraid that his mother would cry badly, so he had no choice but to keep persuading her from the sidelines.Hearing that we are going to worship the ancestors now, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Mother, don't worry, it's better for us to worship the ancestors after the palace examination and when the gold list is inscribed."

After hearing this, Lin's mother hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, my son will be named on the gold list. It will not be too late to worship the ancestors by then." After speaking, Lin's mother took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears and said: "When the time comes, my son will beat the horse Walking through the streets, weddings and candles in the bridal chamber, our family is a double happiness. Then give me a grandson, even if I die, I will have no regrets."

Lin Hai made his mother blush when she said this, and quickly comforted Lin Mu a few more words, and said that he still had to prepare for the palace examination before resigning.

Back in the courtyard, Lin Hai picked up the book again, and the four servant girls Sumei, Sulan, Suzhu, and Suju saw that their uncle started working hard again, so they studied ink and served tea.When everything was tidied up, they all quietly left.

These four maidservants are all sixteen or seventeen years old, and they have served Lin Hai side by side for many years since they were young.Lin Hai is gentle and elegant, and he is gentle and handsome. These maids who wait on her all day long don't have a lot of thought.They all want to win the favor of their uncle, so that they can stay by his side to serve him for a long time in the future.If one is lucky enough to be a serious aunt, she will become a half-master herself.

It's just that when Marquis Lin was still alive, he knew that his title had come to an end in his own generation, and that in his son's generation he had to rely on his own imperial examination to become an official.Therefore, he has always been strict with his son, only telling him to study hard, and not letting other people's chores distract him.Mrs. Lin also agreed with her master's idea, and because of this, some big-hearted girls were angry.The rest of the maidservants left behind were all scared out of their wits, they could only suppress their thoughts, and dared not do anything out of the ordinary.

Later, in the year when Lin Haishiqicai won the Juren, Lord Lin Hou passed away.After another three years of filial piety, Lin Hai kept his filial piety in peace of mind when he was not studying every day, so naturally he didn't have the intention of accepting the housekeeper.It wasn't until the filial piety came out, and the marriage of Rongguo Mansion was arranged, and at the same time, they had to prepare for the spring and palace examinations, so they couldn't care less about these girls.He didn't notice the thoughts of the girl beside him.Because my mother said a long time ago that after I got married, I would release all the maids around me to match others, so as not to delay their youth.

Lin Hai didn't care about the maids, and Jia Min had Xu Li eyeing her with pills, so these maids were doomed to dream for nothing.

In April, Lin Hai, together with other tribute scholars on the list, took part in a round of examination in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.After the re-examination, on April 21, the official palace examination began in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.On the day of the palace examination, Lin Hai entered the palace at dawn.After a lot of etiquette, the policy question was issued.Lin Hai thought for a moment when he got the policy title, and then he took up a pen and wrote a long article in a pavilion style.

On the third day after the Palace Examination, Emperor Yongkang presented the top ten test papers to the Nuan Pavilion Exam Officer.After deliberating about the imperial ranking, he asked the eunuch to call the examiner into the palace.After entering the hall, the scroll official kowtowed first to salute Emperor Yongkang.After Emperor Yongkang asked for free and gave him a seat, the examiner opened the test paper and sealed it, filled in the order of the first three with a ink pen, and then wrote the second and seventh.

When he saw Yijia Tanhua Lin Hai, Emperor Yongkang asked casually, "This Lin Hai is the son of Lin Feng, Marquis of Runan."

The judge at the side hurriedly bowed and replied: "My lord, Lin Hai's ancestral home is Gusu, and he is the only son of Lin Feng, the former Marquis of Runan."

Emperor Yongkang said with a smile: "Isn't this the son-in-law of Lord Rong Guo? This old man has been begging me to give them a marriage order."

"It can be seen that Rong Guogong also has a sharp eye, and he immediately fell in love with Tan Hualang as his son-in-law." The scroll official also echoed.

Emperor Yongkang said again: "That old thing has a good eye. Look at Lin Hai's pavilion style, which is beautiful, elegant, elegant and harmonious. Looking at his articles, it is also powerful and profound. It can be seen that he is a person with real talent and learning. Anyway, for the sake of that girl Renxiao and Tanhualang, I will give him a double happiness."

The scroll official at the side knew that Tanhualang was in the eyes of a saint, and seeing that the emperor was in good spirits, he and the eunuchs who were accompanying him in the hall echoed the words of the emperor's benevolence, benevolence, and divine grace.

On April 25th, Lin Hai participated in the ceremony of passing on the coffin in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.Knowing that I won the first prize, I can't help but feel agitated.After the ceremony, Lin Hai followed the No. [-] scholar and No. [-] No. [-] scholar through the Supreme Harmony Gate and the Meridian Gate and walked out of the palace along the imperial road in the middle.Then it was a horse parade, and after attending the Qionglin Banquet, they returned home.

Everyone in the Lin family was filled with joy, and the subordinates also knew that there was a big difference in the situation of the family whether the main family became an official or not, so they were all happy from the bottom of their hearts.Mrs. Lin took her son to offer incense to the ancestors of the Lin family after her son entered the door, so as to tell the ancestors the good news.Lin Hai also kowtowed to the ancestors with his mother, and only after the work was done, he helped his mother out of the back hall where the ancestor tablets were enshrined.

When the mother and son returned to the main hall, Mother Lin took her son's hand and said, "Now that my son has been a student in high school, it's time to go to Rongguo Mansion to discuss the date of marriage." Lin Haijun blushed slightly, and agreed to his mother's words.The mother and son discussed for a while before Lin Hai sent the mother into the inner room to rest.

As soon as he entered his yard, Lin Hai saw all the maids and mothers serving in his room saluted and congratulated him in unison.Lin Hai, who was in a good mood, was very generous and rewarded each of these close servants with three months' monthly money.He also asked someone to take a bath and change clothes, and Lin Hai, who was tired all day, also rested.Before going to bed, Lin Hai also said: "You don't need to watch outside today, let's all go down and rest."

Sumei, who was wearing a red coat and green skirt, stood aside, hesitating to speak, seeing her uncle ignored her and turned over and lay down, her face was red and white, white and red again.It was really helpless, so I had to stomp my feet and go out.

Hearing the voice of the maids going out, Lin Hai sighed, he still has two feelings for the maids around him.It's just that I kept filial piety for three years before, and after I was filial piety, I devoted myself to scientific research. How can I have any thought of adding fragrance to the red sleeves?Later, a marriage was arranged in the Rongguo Mansion.Not to mention that the Rongguo Mansion can help him become an official.Just talking about my fiancée, everyone in Beijing knows that she is intelligent, filial, virtuous and capable.Some sages personally decreed and praised them, and they also proclaimed Renxiao County Lord.And after getting married, the fiancée sent her mother and herself a lot of good things to take care of their bodies.There are also the clothes, food and medicine prepared by my fiancée during Chunwei, all of which are rare and useful, especially the woolen clothes, which I have never seen before.It can be seen that he is careful.To have such a wife, Lin Hai was naturally full of expectations for this marriage.Therefore, he was even more unwilling to accept any roommates when the wedding date was approaching, for fear of chilling his wife's heart.Therefore, when Lin Hai took a bath today, he noticed the thoughts of the maidservants, but on the surface he just didn't know, thinking that after the wives passed through the door, they would release their deeds, and then give them a generous dowry, telling them to marry themselves People, it can be regarded as full of the love of master and servant in the past few years.

The maids of Sumei don't know what her uncle is thinking, they just think that my grandfather is stupid in reading and not enlightened.The blind man threw away all the winking eyes I had, otherwise, how could I tease him by myself, the uncle didn't even respond at all.I just hope that the grandma who is about to enter the door is really a virtuous and generous person like the rumors outside, if only she can tolerate herself.

No matter how many members of the Lin family thought about it, the next morning, the Lin family received two imperial edicts.One is the decree of conferring Lin Hai, Tanhualang, as the editor of the Seventh Rank Imperial Academy.The other is the imperial decree of marriage, and it also directly sets the date of marriage on the [-]th of the next month calculated by Qin Tianjian.
