Survive in the world of Red Mansions

To put it bluntly, the ancient Hanlin Academy was the emperor’s secretarial institution. The organization and functions of the Hanlin Academy in different dynasties are basically the same. Even if there are some changes due to the change of dynasties, they are generally similar, and some are equivalent to modern ones. The Central Party School, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Social Sciences, the Ministry of Education, and even the General Office of the Central Committee are all involved in the work of these departments.Another important function of the Imperial Academy is to train talents for other ministries, similar to the current interns and reserve cadres.

Since it is said that the Imperial Academy is the emperor's secretarial institution, it must perform its functions of handling political affairs. It often requires the emperor to issue various edicts originally drafted by the cabinet ministers, because it is necessary to draft various edicts on behalf of the cabinet ministers. This requires the officials of the Hanlin Academy who drafted to be familiar with various government affairs and court affairs.Officials of the Imperial Academy had to compile historical records, which required the officials who wrote them to have an in-depth understanding of the stories of the previous dynasties.In the Jingyan lectures, the officials of the Hanlin Academy who serve as lecturers must be more familiar with the court rituals and court laws. The officials exerted influence on the emperor during their tenure or in the future when they were officials.

In addition, because the Imperial Academy was also regarded as the emperor's secretarial institution, officials serving in the Imperial Academy had more opportunities to get close to high-ranking court officials and great Confucian scholars, and even had regular contact with the emperor.There are more opportunities to get close to the historical materials, participate in some important court meetings, keep abreast of the trends of the court, and have a deeper understanding of current affairs in the court.It is also because of this that these officials and bachelors serving in the Imperial Academy can continuously accumulate knowledge and experience during their tenure, and prepare good political literacy for their future official careers.

And Lin Rui's position as editor of the Imperial Academy is mainly to draft imperial edicts, compile historical books, and lecture on Jingyan, which are the points mentioned above. Of course, for Lin Rui who has just entered the Imperial Academy, these are now It's not up to him, he's just learning from the others.

Lin Ruhai came from the honorable family of the four generations of nobles, which is different from many Qingliu civil servants who came from scholarly families. Lin Ruhai was able to enter the popular ranks of civil servants and gain a firm foothold among civil servants after being promoted in the middle of the year. There are many factors involved.First of all, Lin Ruhai's father's painstaking efforts needless to say, there is another Lin Ruhai's father who married the daughter of the Yao family who came from a scholarly family. The reason is that Lin's father found Mr. Song as a good gentleman for Lin Ruhai back then. Because he had this scholarly family Hongru as his teacher, even if he was a little dissatisfied with his background, but for Mr. Song's sake, he always gave him a point or two. face.

In recent years, the Lin family has officially entered the ranks of civil servants because of Lin Ruhai, and now that Lin Rui has gained the title of Tanhua at a young age, the Lin family can be regarded as truly entering the ranks of scholarly families at this time.

Now there is Lin Hai, the father of the Minister of the Household Department, and there are rumors that Lin Hai will soon enter the cabinet. Even if he works in the Qingshui Yamen of the Imperial Academy, there will always be nephews in the family who work in other ministries. Who knows if it will happen? When will they ask Lin Hai, even if others want to befriend Lin Hai, they will not easily embarrass Lin Rui.

As a newcomer who has just entered the Hanlin Academy, it is not his turn to draft edicts, lectures on economic affairs, etc., and the most important thing is to learn from others.Although Lin Rui has been pampered by his father and other family members in his two lifetimes, and gained the reputation of Tanhua at a young age, he is not so self-satisfied and arrogant. Instead, he has always given people the characteristics of being studious, humble, gentle and gentle. , because of these advantages, and the face of his father Lin Hai, Lin Rui lived a very good life in the Hanlin Academy.

Because he has not held a real position yet and is just in the stage of learning, Lin Rui has a lot of free time to read and study the various official documents, classics, materials, etc. archived by the Imperial Academy.He has seen a lot of these archived official documents, and he can also understand some changes in the court. Many times, from some extremely obscure words and sentences, he can even guess some thoughts of the emperor or cabinet ministers.

Lin Rui often sees and understands what he saw in the Imperial Academy, and then discusses it with Lin Hai after returning home, because Lin Hai can get a glimpse of more truths from these words and phrases after many years of experience in the imperial court. With these, carefully teach the son to better integrate into the official career.

After Lin Rui took office in the Imperial Academy, he often delayed his return home because of the official documents archived by the Imperial Academy, but today when it was time to release the office, he packed up and was ready to leave.

Today is Princess Zhongshun's birthday. Because Lin Rui was going to the Yamen early in the morning, only Li Jingya returned to the palace alone to celebrate the princess's birthday. As a son-in-law, Lin Rui didn't go with his wife early in the morning. After he was released from the Yamen, he had to go to see the princess , to pay homage to the mother-in-law.

Since Princess Zhongshun's birthday is not a whole birthday this year, she didn't make any big arrangements. She just invited some close relatives and friends. When Lin Rui came over, many people had already left.

Lin Rui, as the son-in-law of the only daughter-in-law in the palace, as soon as he arrived at the palace, the steward came forward to greet him with a smile on his face: "Little one, please greet my uncle! Please, my uncle!"

Lin Rui followed the manager of the Wangfu to greet Prince Zhongshun in advance, and someone here had informed the princess of Lin Rui's arrival early.Since the concubine came in, the concubine has handed over the daily affairs of the palace to the concubine. On days like today, the concubine is also helping to receive the concubine. Because of this, the concubine can gossip with her daughter who has returned to her natal home Lin Rui probably wouldn't have imagined that what the mother and daughter are talking about now has something to do with him.

"Ya'er, it's been a year since you got married, and there's still no news? The last time I went to Doctor Wang to check the pulse, did you take some recuperating medicine specially prescribed for you?"

Li Jingya nodded. It's been almost a year since they got married, and they had frequent intercourse, but they never got pregnant. Although Lin Rui never said that she was anxious about the child, Li Jingya was still a little anxious Yes, I'm afraid that I will be like my deceased mother-in-law, who only got pregnant after more than ten years of marriage. Even if Lin Rui is not in a hurry, my father-in-law will be in a hurry.

"My uncle usually rests in the room, do you have many chances to be together?"

As soon as the concubine asked the words, even Li Jingya, as a married bride, couldn't help but blush, "Mother concubine...", the concubine looked at Li Jingya blushing and said embarrassedly, as if she was looking at the person who followed Li Jingya to marry into the Lin family Nanny Fang motioned for her to answer. Nanny Fang saw that her little princess was still blushing, and replied instead: "Princess Wang, my uncle is young and energetic, and there are no other concubines like her. Resting with the Princess." After thinking about it, he added, "Young Master and the Princess are still young, so don't worry too much about the children."

"Did my uncle accept those maidservants that I prepared for my uncle before we got married? Are you naughty?"

"Back to the princess, when the princess was young, in the first few times, I also told my uncle to find someone else to serve him, but my uncle refused. Later, on days like this, the princess never asked my uncle to let someone serve him. And my uncle usually doesn't like to be served close by, those little maids can't find a chance even if they want to be naughty," Fang Nanny replied from the side.

"Amitabha, I hope my uncle can do the same in the future!" The princess smiled at her daughter from the side.

"Who knows, we've only been married for a year!" Although Li Jingya said this, there was a faint smile on her face.

While the two mother and daughter were talking, a little maid came in to announce that the uncle was coming in to greet the princess.

The mother and daughter of Princess Zhongshun were already a little anxious because of the child, but they probably didn't think that it was Lin Rui who didn't want to have a child so early, so they usually try to avoid having sex with Li Jingya during her dangerous period, and always In vitro ejaculation/semen method.

There is also Lin Hai's meaning in this. When Li Jingya married into the Lin family, she was really young. It is indeed dangerous to have children at such an age, and it is not good for children. So before getting married, Lin Hai told his son that he would He shouldn't have children so early.

Another thing that Lin Hai didn't say was that the servants of the royal family who married into the Lin family after Li Jingya, although it may have been suggested by the little princess, these servants got along pretty well with the original old people of the Lin family, but faintly The feeling of superiority among others, Lin Hai has seen it once or twice, and he can tell that the servants who come out of the palace feel superior, so is the little princess the same, although so far he has seen this daughter-in-law has been acting Very good, but she should also feel this way in her bones, right? !

Since this is the case, it is even more important to delay Li Jingya's childbirth by a few years. Anyway, as long as Lin Hai's son Lin Rui lives well, his body can't be completely considered his own. If it's the woman's fault, no matter how noble the status is, it's in vain.

Lin Hai also knew that his thinking was a bit petty, but he didn't want to see the little princess pretending to be noble, no matter how nice she was to her son, it also seemed to be giving alms. Of course, a large part of this was his guess, but who could tell Are you sure the facts are definitely different from what he guessed? !

If Princess Jingya knew that her father-in-law had such thoughts about her children, how would she feel?In the hands of the concubine Shizi, on days like today, the concubine Shizi will help to receive her. It is because of this that the concubine can accompany her daughter who has returned to her natal family to gossip. Lin Rui probably would not have imagined that the mother and daughter are now talking about It's also about him.

"Ya'er, it's been a year since you got married, and there's still no news? The last time I went to Doctor Wang to check the pulse, did you take some recuperating medicine specially prescribed for you?"

Li Jingya nodded. It's been almost a year since they got married, and they had frequent intercourse, but they never got pregnant. Although Lin Rui never said that she was anxious about the child, Li Jingya was still a little anxious Yes, I'm afraid that I will be like my deceased mother-in-law, who only got pregnant after more than ten years of marriage.
