The Heart of the Red Chamber

The days that followed can be described as wild and chaotic. First, there was the Qionglin Banquet, and then the Teacher Appreciation Banquet. After taking the examination of the Imperial Academy in the same year, some young and outstanding people were selected, and some were selected as Shujishi. Of course, this is only a minority.Now the number of Jinshi is quite considerable, there are several hundred in three years, not counting Enke graduates.

Although the Celestial Dynasty has a vast territory, how many official positions can it confer?It depends on whether the remaining Jinshi have connections.If you are accompanied by relatives, friends or teachers, those who can talk to the Ministry of Officials will naturally be awarded an official in advance, and those who are better will directly enter the Sixth Ministry. , Generally, you can always get an official position of the eighth rank or the seventh rank, but where you are assigned depends on the strength of the backstage.Those with a strong background will naturally be allocated to a relatively affluent place, and those with a weaker background are likely to be intelligently allocated to a poor village. If you want to make political achievements, you mostly have to depend on luck.

If someone deliberately makes bad things and is assigned to a place like Yunnan and Guizhou where there are bad people, you can only pray that someone will remember you in the future and can bring you back in time. You must know that the problems of ethnic minorities have been difficult to solve in the past dynasties. , There are also those who can win the love of ethnic minorities, but very few, more people die unexpectedly due to various reasons, such as acclimatization, miasma, and some unimaginable reasons, and some do bad things too blatantly. The civil rebellion, before the court reacted, was directly killed by those mountain people who had never accepted Wang Hua.Anyway, there are really not many people who can come back with all their beards and tails.

As for the remaining Jinshi who have no contacts and are unwilling to go to places that are obviously too bad to make themselves feel bad, they can only hang up as candidates and wait for when there will be vacancies that can be filled.

Therefore, in the following days, apart from going to the Imperial Academy, Wang Ren had to send away those who were about to be released one by one, and those who could be assigned to places like Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Hubei were naturally full of ambition. People who have passed through the corner should also forcefully smile. Although this subject was not assigned to Yunnan and Guizhou, there were two assigned to Guangxi and Fujian. Next, I rode a mule and took Tong to the post. As for the family and so on, it's better not to let the wife and children go with them to suffer.

When he was free, Wang Ren heard that the Jia family had brought Lin Daiyu back to Rongguo Mansion.

To be honest, there are probably very few people who are not interested in the Crimson Pearl Fairy who descended to earth, but Wang Ren is interested if he is interested. Is my sister really so horribly beautiful?After all, Lin Daiyu has a filial piety now, even if she doesn't, at Wang Ren's age, even if she visits the Rongguo Mansion, she can't go directly to the inner courtyard now, so she has to avoid suspicion.

Besides, other than Jia Baoyu, people like Sister Lin really can't bear it. At least Wang Ren has a little curiosity and appreciation for Lin Daiyu. As for the others, forget it!Just like in later generations, young boys may think that a fairy like Sister Lin is their pursuit. When they grow up, if they have a choice, they will probably choose Shi Xiangyun or Xue Baochai.Fairies who don't eat the world's fireworks can only be offered, and they don't always match the life of daily necessities.According to the point of view of this era, with Sister Lin's temperament, marrying the second son or youngest son of a Xiang family is not stressful, and the other party must be the kind of person who is willing to be a rich and idle person, and it is best not to be flirtatious. Otherwise, just playing petty temper can make her short-lived.As for Jia Baoyu, with that temperament, whoever marries him will wait for a lifetime of jealousy and exhaustion!

Wang Ren is not a sympathetic person, and he is not the one who belonged to Sister Lin, so naturally he would not think of saving anything, just like watching the miserable lives of orphans and refugees on TV, you can see it, sigh, no matter how sentimental One point, accompany you to wipe away your tears, or donate some money and things through some charitable organization, and you should do what you should do later. Few people will take those who are far away from them as their own responsibility, that is touching Chinese characters are definitely not ordinary people like Wang Ren.The same is true for Lin Daiyu, he has no position to do anything at all, even what will happen to Lin Daiyu, he can only know through a little vague impression of the original work.It's enough for him to manage his own family. As for others, they can do whatever they want!

Mrs. Sun is in a good mood now, her son has been selected as a Tanhua, and he is working as an editor in the Imperial Academy, and has a bright future in the future. These days, any family in Chang’an has a party, and they have to post a post for her. In fact, each family sees each other The daughters of the family, and many of them were brought to Mrs. Sun, which almost made Mrs. Sun dazzled. Now she was sitting in front of the dressing table, and the maid next to her took off the hairpin from her head. Showing off a bit, he complained: "Master, these days, many people are secretly thinking about our family's Ren'er as a son-in-law. I'm so stupid, I don't know how to say it well, I'm afraid I won't say a word. Well, it offended others instead!"

Wang Ziteng was also in a good mood, and also smiled and said: "Ren'er is only fourteen, Madam, you can choose slowly! By the way, have you released anyone from Ren'er's room?"

Mrs. Sun sighed: "My concubine looks at Ren'er as if she is not enlightened, and Xue Ling and Xue He are the two who are disgraceful in Ren'er's room. Probably not even the full names! Besides, Xue Ling and Xue He are a bit older after all, I thought, I will release the two of them to marry later, so as not to waste their time!"

"These wives are up to you!" Wang Ziteng nodded, "But we still have to make plans early, lest this child is about to get married and still don't know anything!"

Mrs. Sun nodded, and began to think about it. The girl who is the housekeeper must not be too enchanting and scheming. These days, if the housemate is too restless and is still discussing the marriage, the other side will risk it. If a pregnant woman comes out, the level of marriage will be lowered. However, it can't be too bad. It is common sense for a wife to be virtuous and beautiful.Mrs. Sun decided to look back at the girls beside her to see which one was more outstanding, and then give it to her son.

Just when Mrs. Sun was wondering whether it was Jinse or Yaoqin, Wang Ziteng put down the roll in his hand and said, "The daughter of Lin Ruhai's family came to Jia's house, but did you ever ask someone to come?" Hello?"

Mrs. Sun came back to her senses and didn't think of any friendship between her family and the Lin family for a moment, but at this time it was obvious that she couldn't tell Wang Ziteng that way, she just said: "Miss Lin just arrived, I haven't seen her before, no Too good to bother!"

Wang Ziteng sighed: "Turn back and send back the gift! Lin Ruhai is not easy now!"

Others don't know, Wang Ziteng is aware of Lin Ruhai's current danger, Lin Ruhai has blocked many people's money, especially looking at this appearance, the emperor still intends to let him continue to be re-elected. Naturally, there was going to be a backlash. The Yizhong County King took advantage of the vacancy and contacted them, planning to find a way to get Lin Ruhai down and choose one of his own to take the stage.

However, Lin Ruhai was the confidant of the emperors of the two dynasties. Jane was a figure in the emperor's heart. He had not had any troubles in his errands for so many years. With Lin Ruhai's political achievements, he should have been recalled to Chang'an and entered the center.As long as the Sacred Heart is still there, Lin Ruhai has nothing to worry about.Therefore, Yizhong County King and his henchmen can only resort to some shady means.

Jiangnan Salt Administration's annual salt tax of several million is enough for someone with a heart to take risks, not to mention that the people involved in it are not simple people. Lin Ruhai's current situation can be called critical.

Wang Ziteng and Lin Ruhai didn't have much friendship before, and they only met a few times after the Lin family and the Jia family got married, but this did not hinder Wang Ziteng's admiration for Lin Ruhai. Those people almost jump over the wall in a hurry, this ability is not something ordinary people can have.Of course, Lin Ruhai is not really stubborn, he is willing to offend people like this, but his own position is determined, he can only be loyal to the emperor, and he is incompatible with those people, if he has the slightest intention to compromise, I am afraid that the emperor has already become suspicious , recalled him to the capital, and arranged for him to take a leisurely job, since then his future has been hopeless.

Mrs. Sun also sighed when Wang Ziteng said this: "What the master said is that I don't understand this official matter, but Miss Lin is indeed pitiful. She just became sensible and lost her mother! No matter how good my grandmother is , with a foreign word, I can’t beat my own family! Girls, it’s better to have a serious mother to teach, and I don’t know if Master Lin has any plans to continue!”

Wang Ziteng waved his hand: "You know how to worry about it, and we can't take care of other people's affairs! Back up the ceremony later, just to make sense, after all, they can be regarded as relatives!"

Mrs. Sun nodded: "What the master said is that the concubine will go to prepare tomorrow! Speaking of which, when I first married the master, I met the late Mrs. Lin a few times. It has been so many years!" In the women's circle, how many people envy Jia Min for marrying well, her husband is gentle, elegant, and personable, there is no mother-in-law overpowering her, and her husband respects her, how smooth life is!He just had a daughter in his whole life, even if he was underground, he still had to worry about it!This person's life is really hard to say!Thinking in my heart, I asked again: "The concubine thinks that I can give some supplements and jewelry, but the master thinks, what else can I add?"

Wang Ziteng nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Madam, just make arrangements, Madam, you do things, I have nothing to worry about!"
