The Red House Returns the Pearl Lin's Home

Lin Lu originally wanted to explain the matter to her teacher, but he really didn't mean to occupy a spot for nothing, so it's better to give it up to others.It's a pity that his old master was not interested in having a good heart-to-heart talk with him at all, so he submitted the list directly before Lin Lu came to the door.

Lin Lu froze for a moment when she heard Shanbao said that the written exam would start in three days, and then asked, "Shanbao, what about you?"

Shanbao lowered his head a little dejectedly, and immediately covered up the past, and smiled without showing any emotion: "Sir, I think I am still young, and my knowledge is not solid, so I didn't report my name."

It's really nonsense, no one in the Xian'an Palace official school knows that Xiao Shanbao is the master's favorite student, not to mention being the best in every monthly exam, at least he is definitely at the top.He was not included in the [-] quotas launched at one time, and everyone knew that it was a bit tricky.

Lin Lu frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you follow the way of Master?"

Shanbao shook his head: "...it's nothing, next year is the competition year, Mr. Wu wants me to have a try, maybe I can get a scholar back." In fact, he also talked to him, and things are a little different this year. Coincidentally, most of the people who came were either rich or noble, and they couldn't afford to offend anyone.

Not to mention fifty, even if there were ten more places, the children of officials would still not be able to grab them in line, not even the son of a small third-rank official, let alone Shan Bao’s short-lived father who died long ago. years.

When Shanbao was speaking, his emotional changes were not obvious, and he seemed to be able to deal with similar things calmly. Lin Lu hesitated for a while, and didn't cause trouble for herself, but just comforted him: "Then you work hard, I think with your ability, it won't be a problem to be a scholar."

Lin Lu spoke the rare truth. Although he didn't know whether He Shen had passed the examination of scholar in history, Xiao Shanbao was really hardworking and eager to learn.After all, he is also a minor celebrity in the official school of Xian'an Palace. Could it be that he can't even take the exam for a small scholar?

In fact, he was a little strange. Lin Lu had told Lin Lin earlier that although Shanbao didn't look like a mountain, he would be of great use in the future. The most corrupt official in history must not only be greedy for money Also know how to manage money.

It stands to reason that the situation of Shanbao’s family is still very difficult now, and it is a good time for Shi Entao to get close. Lin Lin didn’t express anything else after listening to him, as if she had listened to his words. How about bringing Shanbao along?

For Lin Lin, such things that could change the trajectory of Shanbao's life were rarely a matter of a single word from him, but the other party did not greet his wife in advance, which made Lin Lu feel a little strange.

——————————————————————————————————————

Lin Lu was staring at the thin sheet of paper spread out on the table in a daze. There were thousands of words on a sheet of paper, and he couldn't even recognize it, let alone answer it.Only the devil knows what the last sentence of "vote me a papaya" is.He does know what the first sentence of "white dew is frost" means. The key is that when he picks up the pen, he finds that he can write the word Cangcang.

He has a lot to say in the latter part of the policy, no matter whether it is right or not, at least it is full, but the previous filling in the blanks is completely over.

The exam will be handed in early tomorrow morning, and now less than one-tenth of the answers come up, Lin Lu is so worried, wishing to scratch half of the hair off her head, she can't figure out what she should do.

What kind of nonsense is this, he simply lay down on the table in great annoyance, closed his eyes and began to sleep, and vaguely felt that there was someone standing beside him.

Lin Lu woke up with a quick start, and the other party's movements were silent, but he had been training deliberately since he was a child, and his sense of hearing was very keen, so he had already discovered something wrong immediately.

Lin Lu was a little taken aback. During the written examination, the security was extremely strict. Even the invigilator was allowed to enter the examination room for individual candidates. The only difference from the imperial examination was that there were no guards standing outside.

Where did this man come from?

Lin Lu blinked her eyes, and could feel that the other party didn't have the slightest malice towards her, otherwise he would have been separated by now, so she didn't make a sound, and cast a questioning look in the dark.

It was already past midnight, and most of the candidates had already fallen asleep on the table after typing their questions. Candles were still burning in two or three scattered grids, but Lin Lu's grid was relatively remote, and ordinary people can not be seen.

The man in black didn't make a sound, and turned sideways to hide in the dark shadows. Lin Lu understood, lay down on the table and pretended to be asleep, and waited for a patrol team to pass by before raising his head.The man in black flicked his long sleeves, and gently shook out a thin piece of paper, put it in front of him, jumped up, flew over the wall and left.

Lin Lu shook her head, looked at the words on the paper under the dim moonlight, and found that there were dozens of answers to the test questions on it, and she was a little scribbled, so she probably copied them after getting the test questions. Copy it and send it to him at the right time.

Lin Lu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Lin Lin to be so capable that she could even get this kind of thing for him.He blinked his eyes, and was not in a hurry to copy. Instead, he took advantage of the gap between the three patrol guards to look down and write a few words on the examination paper.

In fact, he really had no idea about the written and post-based exam, and there were a total of [-] fill-in-the-blank questions on the test paper. Lin Lin didn't know what to think, so she got him the answers to [-] or [-] questions. If you copy the answer, you will definitely not be able to pass the test.

Although the children of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties became more and more depraved and refused to make progress, the tall ones among the short ones can always do it. They are not half-way monks like Lin Lu who have studied for more than ten years. Have no skills?At least more than 100 questions can be typed.

But it's better than nothing, decorating the test papers will at least make it less empty, and it won't be despised too much by the examiners after handing in the test papers.

Anyway, it won't embarrass the old Lin's family too much, Lin Lu sighed deeply, anyway, he tried everything, tried everything he could and couldn't, cheap old man, if you saw it in the sky , but don't be angry with him.

In any case, doing his best and obeying the fate, that's all he can do.Lin Lu handed in the paper early the next morning, stretched herself, and walked out in a good mood.

He felt that his mood at this time was like a scumbag from a classmate who handed in the college entrance examination papers in advance. No matter how well the exam did, at least he replied arrogantly in front of the parents and reporters gathered outside the school examination room: "Tsinghua University is the first choice, and Peking University is the second choice." .”

Carrying the beautiful dream of finally getting through this day and night, Lin Lu happily returned to her home in the carriage, and saw Fu Longan circling around the door of the house.

"What's the matter, Shanlin." In the past, Lin Lu was not very willing to talk to Fu Long'an, and she always called people by their first names, but since Lin Daiyu married into Fucha's family, the relationship between the two families has become closer. Gradually, Lu also began to call Fu Long'an's name to show her closeness.

Fu Longan was really happy when he heard that, so he hurried over, looked him up and down, saw that Lin Lu was in a good mood, so his mood also eased, and asked with a smile: "Yo, look at the situation, brother-in-law did well in the exam? That brother is just waiting for the day when his elder brother will be named on the Toad Palace on the Gold List."

Fu Long'an was the exact opposite of Lin Lu. He didn't like to be called Lin Lu's name at all. Either he was called "Big Uncle" or he was called a brother directly.

Lin Lu nodded pretendingly: "Well, it's not like you don't know my skills, so just wait and see."

Rao was as hot-blooded as Fu Longan, and couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and didn't show his helplessness, nodded and said: "Brother, it would be great if you think it's right, I'm going to have a banquet with Hai Lancha today I want to celebrate your achievements, I wonder if the eldest brother will honor his face and participate?"

Lin Lu slapped her forehead, and agreed without any hesitation: "Okay, okay, we won't be drunk today." When the test results came out, it was estimated that we wouldn't be in the bottom ten. Damn it, let him be an official.

——————————————————————————————————————

Lin Luquan thought that she had a chance to pass the college entrance examination, but it was just a formality, and she naturally forgot about it afterwards.To say that participating in the pen post ceremony is not for nothing for him, Lin Lu feels that the biggest benefit is that he has experienced the beauty of life. Shackles, what to eat, what to do and what to do is extremely smooth.

On the day when the results of the pen-and-post style came out, Lin Lu was still lying in bed at home, and Yu Wanling pushed the door in with a blushing face, his face brimming with joy: "Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir, you've won the prize!" !"

Of course, winning the pen post style is not the same as winning the Jinshi examination, but for banner people, it is quite equivalent to reaching the sky in one step. It is well known that the pen post style is easy to promote.Yu Wanling also felt that there was no hope at first, so he didn't take it too seriously. Unexpectedly, Lin Lu's name was on the list. He couldn't help but announce the good news immediately.

Lin Lu turned over, pretending that she hadn't woken up to dream, shivered, muttered "Why don't you have some reliable dreams", and continued to sleep.

Yu Wanling couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it, and hurried forward to push him: "Master, sir, wake up, it's not a dream, it's really not a dream, our eldest daughter came back from Duke Zhongyong's mansion to tell me the good news !"

As soon as Lin Lu heard Lin Daiyu, she finally understood. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "What, she said I won?" The people taking the exam are all a bunch of parallel importers?

Yu Wanling nodded his head heavily, his eyes were reddened uncontrollably, and he put his palms together and kept chanting: "I said that if you study hard, you will surely win!"
