Little wealth

After taking care of his younger brother at home for a few days, Sun Nian went to the Ministry of Officials to report in advance, and then took the documents from the Ministry of Officials to the Imperial Academy to take up his post.

Anyway, being idle is idle, and his wedding date has not yet arrived. If he waits at home for more than a month or two until he gets married, he might as well find something for himself to do, so that he can marry and follow It doesn't matter if he goes to the Hanlin Academy to do things.

At this time, the imperial examination had just ended, and compared to other Jinshi who did not have a position yet, it was better for the top three of them to arrange their positions early, so they did not have to wait for their positions in Beijing.Although the Holy Majesty now requires the Ministry of Officials to arrange positions for the annual new scholars as soon as possible, but with so many people, it will take one to two months for all of them to be assigned positions.

"Hi, I'm Sun Nian, and I'm here to report at the Imperial Academy." When Sun Nian came to report at the Imperial Academy with the paperwork, the person who received him didn't know which year he was the No. [-] Scholar or the No. [-] candidate.

Speaking of which, the most indispensable in the Hanlin Academy are the No. [-] Scholar and Tanhualang. In the scientific examination held every three years, the top three of the first class will be admitted to the Hanlin Academy first, and will be awarded other official positions according to the arrangement in the future.But there are also people who have been in this Hanlin Academy all their lives, so it also depends on luck and background, otherwise the three-year scientific examination, these old people will soon be replaced by the new No. [-] scholar, and no one will remember. They are gone.

But if there is a background, it will be different. Coming to the Imperial Academy is just a formality, and there will definitely be better development in the future.For example, the new top scholar in front of me is not only the heir of the Pingyuan Houfu, but also the nephew of the emperor and the empress. He must have a bright future in the future.

Old Hanlin Wu knew about this new champion. He heard a lot about this new champion recently. He didn’t expect him to be so young. When he first saw him, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I didn't expect our new champion this year to be so young. It's really a formidable young man."

Sun Nian let out a chuckle, it's hard to say that he wanted to take the first prize and marry his husband as soon as possible, so he couldn't answer this question.

Old Hanlin Wu led the people in, and asked as he walked, "I remember that you have two months of vacation, why did you come so early?"

"My relatives came from my hometown, so I didn't go home. I happened to have nothing to do, so I went to the official department to report earlier." It was also the first time for Sun Nian to enter the Imperial Academy, but he would not When he came to a strange place for the first time, he would look around, but when he came to the Imperial Academy, he had plenty of time to look around slowly, so he just followed others and walked as usual, without looking around curiously.

This is what Wu Lao Hanlin appreciates. He has taken over many newcomers, and it is the first time he has seen a young man as calm and calm as the one in front of him. I don't know how many times I have walked in, let alone such a small Hanlin Academy.

"When you become an official in the court in the future, it will be very difficult to take such a long vacation." But after saying this, Old Hanlin Wu remembered that this one is the nephew of their sage, let alone two months I'm afraid it's okay to take two more months of vacation.

"That's right, I've heard people say that." But at this moment, Sun Nian didn't know what the other party was thinking. He knew that after entering the court as an official, he would not have so much freedom and ample time. You can't leave the capital without the holy order, and it will take three years before you want to return to the capital.

At that time, he had discussed with his family whether he should go back to Anyang, but his family had just come from Anyang, so he didn't really want to let them go back again. Dad is still busy preparing for his wedding, so he probably doesn't have time to go back.

Therefore, after the family discussed it, they decided to send someone back to Anyang to pick up the family's grandma, uncle, and other relatives to the capital to attend his wedding, so that they can all see each other at that time, and save them from running ran away.After he gets married, he will take his husband back to the hometown to worship the ancestors when he has time in the future, and it will not be too late to go back at that time.

The two talked while walking, and after Sun Nian asked, he realized that the other two No. [-] candidates and No. [-] candidates had not yet arrived.He knew that the No. [-] Zhao Xin had gone back to Yucheng to pick up his relatives in Beijing, but he hadn't heard about Tanhua Li Aocheng, so he didn't know whether he had returned to his hometown or stayed in Beijing.

They just swam the street together last time, and they are not very familiar with each other, but he thinks that Zhao Xin and Li Aocheng are more familiar, probably they have known each other, and the relationship is still good. A sort of.

"You can work in this room from now on." They all know that this new champion has a background, so they don't dare to neglect and offend others, and the rooms assigned to them are always better. The ones that get emptied out and tidied up.

Old Hanlin Wu pushed open the door of a room. This room was not big, and it was still a separate room, and he was not with other people.

There was a rectangular table and a chair in the room, and two pots of orchids were placed on the window sill. I don't know who left them.

"I'll arrange someone to follow you first. I'll get to know the Imperial Academy first in these two days, and then I'll arrange something for you to do in two days." As Wu Lao Hanlin called another person to come over, he lowered his head and ordered a few words, roughly meaning It is to take people around the Hanlin Academy to get acquainted with the environment.

"Then you stay here first, and you can come to me if you need anything."

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Sun Nian took a look at the room. It wasn't that big, but it was neatly tidied up inside. It looked like a place that had been cleaned up in advance. Thank you Hanlin.

Old Hanlin Wu waved his hand and left.

After the people left, Sun Nian went into the house and walked around, then went out and asked someone to take him around to familiarize himself with the environment.

He spent the first day in the Imperial Academy in a familiar environment, and he also met several old Hanlins in the Imperial Academy. Everyone was very polite to him, and Sun Nian probably knew the reason.

But he also knew that he had been in the Hanlin Academy for a long time in the future, and others might know his identity, so it wouldn't be long if he wanted to hide these things.Now that he is known by others, he knows it. He has no way to change his identity, so he can only face the eyes of others calmly.

Sun Nian didn't know what the atmosphere was like in other places. On the first day he came to the Imperial Academy, he had a good impression of the place and the people. His grandfather's disciple.

He is the youngest in the entire Hanlin Academy. At first glance, he is a group of people who are older than his father, and even several of them have gray hair. His face looks the most tender here, so everyone treats him very well. take care of.

Seeing that it was almost noon, someone said: "It's already noon, the dining hall is open, let's go eat first."

"Let me go with you, I just know the way, and I can go by myself in the future." Before coming, Sun Nian knew from the old butler that the Imperial Academy had a cafeteria, so he didn't ask his family to bring him lunch.

"Okay, let's go together." After such a short time, everyone has a pretty good impression of this heir of the Pingyuanhou Mansion. I don't know how many times stronger these people were back then.

They don't think that cheating is allowed in the scientific examination. The system of grading papers is based on the system of anonymous names. The examiner does not know who the papers are. This prince can go to the palace examination by his own ability. Well, even if there is a little friendship with the Holy One in the palace examination, the test paper must be well written to be selected by the Holy One as the number one scholar.

The old Hanlins in the Hanlin Academy are all self-proclaimed, and if they want to get their approval, they must really show their real skills.And after getting along for such a short time, they discovered that this eldest son is a young man who talks and laughs. He has a good-looking face and likes to smile at everyone. No one would hate such a young man.

If His Majesty sent an ignorant dude into the Hanlin Academy today, they would ignore him.

So for the new champion who came today, no matter whether the opponent is the new champion or the son of Pingyuan Houfu, in short, they all have a good impression of this young man, so no one said they don't like him.

The Hanlin Academy is a Qingshui yamen, and all the Hanlin people here are very poor. The meager salary they get for a month is not enough to support their families, so there is no money left for them to spend their days and nights.So most of them went to the dining hall to eat at noon, and few of them would go out to eat or let the servants at home deliver the food.

The imperial court governs the lunch of these officials, three dishes and one soup, with meat and vegetables, and can be full, but the taste is so-so, definitely not as good as the restaurants outside.

Sun Nian followed everyone to the dining hall of the Hanlin Academy for the first meal. He is not a picky eater, as long as he can eat enough to fill his stomach.But don't look at him being thin, his family has a lot of food, so the two steamed buns and a few small bowls of vegetables are not enough for him at all, and his stomach is still less than half full after eating them all.

What can I do with this...

"How about it? The food in our canteen is pretty good, right?" Seeing this, the other Hanlins were a little surprised. They thought that the eldest son would not like the food in the canteen, but they didn't expect him to eat so cleanly. .

"Yeah, it's okay." Sun Nian was a little worried because he didn't have enough to eat, thinking about how to spend the rest of the day, is there time for the family to send him something now?How about he ask for some more?

But I looked up and looked at the pots, they were all empty, I'm afraid I won't be able to ask for more...
