Survive in the world of Red Mansions

The ancient people's respect and value for masters is often incomprehensible to modern people, and there is also a close relationship between the same year.Teachers, students, and the same year, these literati rely on these relationships between teachers, students and the same year to form a close relationship network with each other, helping each other, and supporting each other.

Lin Rui couldn't understand the relationship between Zuo Zuo and Tongnian, but if he didn't understand it, he didn't understand it, and he wouldn't be so different as to reject this relationship.Therefore, during the period before going to the Imperial College, he also specially took time out to pay a visit to Zuo Shifu.

Lin Rui is not a child in his teens, and he will get so complacent that he will be underestimated and annoying when he gets a small and medium-sized three yuan for a while.He has a rich family background, although he is young, he is humble and polite. Adding to these, he has a small and medium salary. In the foreseeable future, his future is definitely not bad. Finally, the gift at the door is also satisfactory. It can be said that Lin Rui is easy to impress.

In the past few years, although Lin Ran's small restaurant has not made much money, of course, Lin Hai's purpose is not to make money, but after several years of accumulation, the situation of the officials' families in the whole capital is more or less We all understand.It is not difficult to know the preferences of several teachers, so it is no wonder that Lin Rui's gifts are so satisfactory.

After visiting Master Zuo, Lin Rui has been gathering with some of the same year in the past few days, and the places for gathering are usually in places such as teahouses and restaurants.These interactions between the same years are very different from the modern same-year relationships. Because of the similar age, the modern classmates are more likely to have common topics.But after Lin Rui participated in several same-year gatherings in a row, he felt more and more unbelievable about the relationship between the same year of mutual prosperity and loss in this era.

Many of those who attended the party were married and had children in the same year, and even met two who were already grandfathers. Of course, there were also scholars like Lin Rui who were only in their teens, or even younger than Lin Rui.When they got together in the same year, they mostly talked about some poems and songs, the Four Books and Five Classics, and of course they also occasionally went outing in the countryside.From the first year Lin Rui came here, he followed his father Lin Hai more often in the process of interacting with people. Most of the time, Lin Hai led him and guided him from the sidelines.

Now that I have the same year, it is the first time that I really have my own social circle. Lin Rui has the name of a small three yuan, and he is polite when he is young. In addition, the good looks inherited by Lin Hai and Jia Min are easy to give to him. People like it.Even though some people in the same year were jealous of Lin Rui's getting the head of the case at a young age, considering Lin Rui's background, there were really few who made Lin Rui look bad in person.

Time passed quickly, the gatherings between the same year were almost held, and the relationship between each other was established. In the same year, the family was in other places, and they began to leave the capital one after another. Lin Rui, who lives in the capital, also arrived and wanted to enter It's time for the Imperial Academy to enroll.

Lin Rui had never lived in a collective dormitory in his two lifetimes, but he also felt a headache when he saw the luggage packed by his sister, not to mention clothes, shoes, socks, and bedding, such as sachets, handkerchiefs, sweat towels, and hair ribbons Waiting for these odds and ends also packed a big bag.

"Sister, just put two or three of these things. I don't live in the Imperial College and never come back. I only come back once every 10 days. I really don't need to bring so many of these things."

"Bring more to be prepared, and besides, you don't need to take it, you don't need to worry about it, if there is any trouble, if there is anything not enough on weekdays, let the people who follow you come back to pick it up."

Lin Daiyu thought that her younger brother would live in the Guozijian, and wished that the whole family would move there. She also thought that her younger brother would only be able to bring a little book boy with her, instead of having many people waiting for her at home, and she didn't know if her younger brother could get used to it.Although Lin Daiyu is young, she has been in charge of the middle school of the Lin family for the past few years. The food, clothing, housing and transportation of her father and younger brother are her top priority. No wonder she was so worried.

All those who entered the Guozijian in this dynasty are generally called Jiansheng. These four prisons are divided into four types: those who are recruited by bureaucrats are called Yinjian, those who recruit people are called Jujian, and those who donate money are called Lijian. Those who passed the examination and were admitted to Guozijian were called Gongjian.In the early days of the founding of the country, Jiansheng could directly become an official, but now that the country has been established for more than a hundred years, the opportunity for Jiansheng to be an official is basically gone.

The origin of the students entering the Imperial College is different, and the students with different identities will also form different small circles, and the dormitories are also divided into different areas accordingly.When Lin Rui arrived on the first day, he was taken to the area where Gongsheng lived by the small officials inside.Lin Rui had many dissatisfaction with the dormitory of the Imperial College, but he was greatly relieved not to have to share a room with other people.

After Lin Rui found his room, he waited outside. Gan Zhu and Licorice led a few servants to clean the room, tidy up all the clothes and bedding, and Lin Rui walked in by himself.Although it can't be compared with my own, some of the things I'm used to are placed, so I can only make do with it.

When Lin Rui arrived, he didn't see anyone he was familiar with. After Gan Zhu left with a few servants, he tidied himself up, and when he was about to go out to have a look, a voice came from outside the door, "Cousin Rui ,Are you there?"

Licorice hurriedly walked over to open the door, "Master Biao, little Licorice has seen Master Biao!"

After the door of the room was opened, Lin Rui saw Cousin Yao Hao standing outside, "Cousin Hao, why are you here? Come in and sit down."

"I know you just arrived today, so I came here to see if I can help you?" Yao Hao came in and looked around, "You're pretty quick, and you look pretty good. It's as clean as your study at home. Twice alike."

"The family sent a few people over to clean it up together. They just left, otherwise how could it be so fast?"

"It's almost time for dinner, I'll take you to the dining room."

Yao Hao took Lin Rui to the dining hall, and introduced him to the buildings along the way, where to go to class, where is the library, and where to go on weekdays.With Yao Hao's introduction, Lin Rui quickly had a general understanding of the entire Imperial College.

Soon came to the dining hall, "Cousin Rui, the dining hall has free meals, the portion is very large, but the taste is not very good, it is really hard to swallow. Sometimes we pay a little more and order another dish, but Don’t expect too much from the taste of Guozijian’s food, even if it costs money, it’s limited. Usually, if you have time, you can go to those restaurants outside, which are much better than inside.”

Yao Hao probably took care of Lin Rui, a cousin who just arrived, and ordered a few dishes on purpose. After Lin Rui waited for the dishes to be served, he saw that what Yao Hao said was probably true. It's a bit bad. After paying for everything, I have a personal experience of what Yao Hao said about the taste of Guozijian's food. I bought it specially with money, and it's so unpalatable. The free big pot of rice One can imagine.

However, Lin Rui swallowed it stubbornly. Since he wanted to stay in the Imperial College for a long time, he had to get used to it. He couldn't just go to school because he said the food in the Imperial College was unpalatable, or bring a chef over, right?

When Lin Rui went back after dinner, he happened to see the two same years who had won the title of Gongsheng with him this time, "Brother Luo, Brother Sun, have you just arrived?"

"Brother Lin, did you arrive today? We arrived yesterday, so we haven't had class today, so we went for a walk." Luo Jianye, who was among the two, replied.

"You all came earlier, I just arrived today."

"If my family was in the capital, I would not arrive until the last day." Sun Jie on the side laughed and said that this Sun Jie was still in the same family as the empress of the dynasty, but Sun Jie and his family belonged to the side line, and the empress It's a little far off.

The Sun family’s family is more than 100 miles away from the capital. As a big family, they also have ethnology. However, as collateral descendants, the family’s support for them is always very limited. Ethnology must be strong, and it is rare for Sun Jie to get the title of Gongsheng now, so of course he doesn't want to waste it.

These people, including Lin Rui, should all have good family backgrounds. Although in the imperial examinations, there are often children from poor families who go to high school, but this proportion is really very small. Besides, even children from poor families are not without family background at all.It is extremely difficult for a poor family with no real wealth to afford a scholar. Not every student from a poor family will be optimistic about you and invest in you early.

Although there is already printing in this era, books are still very expensive, and pens, inks, paper and inkstones are all a lot of expenses.The county examination, the government examination, the college examination, the township examination, and the final general examination and the palace examination, you need to find a guarantee, the travel expenses for the examination, accommodation, meals, dating in the same year, etc., all of which cost money. possible?

Lin Rui and these few were in the same year, and they had a gathering some time ago, but every time there were many people together, this is the rare first time for the three of them to be alone, so I couldn't help but suggest, "This time the Gongsheng students in the capital are only the three of us. Studying at the Imperial College and staying here, how about we get together later today?"

"Okay, the food in the dining room is too hard to swallow, why don't you go to a restaurant outside for dinner?" Luo Jianye also suggested.

The two people next to them probably thought of the taste of the food in the dining hall, and nodded frantically.Lin Rui waited for the licorice on the side to put out a few snacks brought from the mansion, and took a piece first, "Try it, I brought it from home, I used it for lunch in the dining hall, it's too bad , I just tried to eat some, I was not full at all, and I will eat these every day in the future, I will be sad!"

Guozijian is the highest institution under the administration of the imperial court. The subjects taught are: rites, music, rhythm, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics. Of course, it is not required to study all of these subjects, and you can choose some of them, which are somewhat like elective subjects in universities.Although Lin Rui has studied all the subjects offered by the Imperial College, as the country's highest institution, Lin Rui is still looking forward to the PhDs who teach these subjects, so except for the course "Numbers", all other subjects are chosen. up.Counting this subject is mainly because Lin Hai said that the level of this course offered by the Imperial College here is equivalent to the level of primary and junior high schools before, and there is really no need to spend time learning these.

Lin Rui studied at Guozijian for a few days, and not only lamented that Guozijian is worthy of being the highest institution in charge of the imperial court. The gentlemen who can teach in Guozijian, whether it is Jijiu, Siye or doctor, are all knowledgeable people, and have areas in which they are particularly good.

Lin Rui couldn't help feeling rejoicing now that he had made the decision to study at the Imperial College.

At the beginning, Lin Ruhai was a teacher directly, and he did not enter the Guozijian until he was selected. Although Lin Hai himself knew that it would be good for Lin Rui if he entered the Guozijian, but Lin Hai, like many other writers, was reluctant to let his children suffer. , especially after the father and son came here, because Lin Rui was sick and weak when he first arrived, Lin Hai loved Lin Rui even more than in his previous life.

Lin Hai also felt distressed because of his son's suffering in martial arts, but he endured it because of his son's health. Later, Lin Rui was about to enter the Imperial Academy, but Lin Hai was reluctant. He felt that inviting a gentleman back would not make too much difference. But he also knew in his heart that Lin Rui's admission to Guozijian was really good for his son, so he gave up.

Although it is said that there is no distinction between teaching and learning, there are really very few teachers who can do it. In Guozijian, the highest institution of the imperial court, just like other academies, there are many people who are unwilling to learn.The teacher's attitude towards this group of people is that as long as they don't harm other supervisors, they will turn a blind eye most of the time.

Besides, these gentlemen also know that most of the students in the Mengjian and Lijian who entered the Guozijian are not for learning, but just for the sake of looking good, so why should they bother.

Before Lin Rui entered the Imperial Academy, Lin Hai asked his nephew to take care of him after the same year, and Yao Pei, as a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, would occasionally give lectures at the Imperial Academy, and also asked his colleagues and friends to take care of his nephew. Coupled with the fact that Lin Rui obtained the "Little Three Yuan" in the college examination, it can be said that before Lin Rui entered the Imperial College, he was basically known among the teachers who taught.

After these gentlemen met people and got to know them somewhat, not to mention being entrusted by others, Lin Rui alone could easily arouse the favor of these lecturers.

Although Lin Rui has been pampered and raised for the past two lifetimes, he has not been spoiled by his family with any perverse temper. In the capital, he is now considered a young man who has become famous, but he doesn't like to show off. In addition, after entering the Guozijian under the name of "Little Sanyuan", even if he has learned the basics well, he has always been very serious in class, and he has never defaulted on the homework assigned by his teacher, so Lin Rui is definitely regarded as a good teacher in the eyes of these teachers. A good student who is eager to learn and make progress.

Also because of the above reasons, Lin Rui's career in the Imperial College, except for his unaccustomed diet, was definitely regarded as a duck to water and well adapted to other aspects.
