The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

Jia Min didn't see Lin Yao winking at Lin Ruhai, but when he heard Lin Ruhai mentioning the palace examination, he asked their father and son to go to the study to talk.

Lin Ruhai got up immediately and led Lin Yao to the study.

"what happened?"

Lin Yao purposely made eye contact in the room. Obviously, this matter is unusual, and it may not be as simple as finding someone.

Lin Yao told Lin Ruhai about Doctor Ye and the thoughts of his two friends, and also told Lin Ruhai.

"Ye Fei's appearance was a bit sudden, and it was strange that he asked me for help. I didn't agree to him right away, but asked someone to help him pay attention to Ye Jingshu's whereabouts." Lin Yao said.

Lin Ruhai frowned, "Ye Fei used to be an imperial physician in the imperial hospital. Although his official position is not high, he has a lot of contacts. If he encounters difficulties in the capital, there is no reason for him to ask you for help."

"Does the master know the details of this Ye Fei?"

Lin Ruhai said, "I know a little bit. Although the official position of an imperial physician is not high, the selection is very strict. To become an imperial physician, the family background must be very clean, without any criminal record. At least five generations of ancestors must have a clean family background. Ye Fei To become an imperial physician, his family background has gone through layers of selection and assessment. He was originally one of the most promising people to become an imperial envoy, but more than ten years ago, he suddenly resigned from office, claiming that his granddaughter did not know where to go. He is going to find his granddaughter."

Lin Yao had heard about Ye Fei resigning to look for her granddaughter, but now hearing Lin Ruhai say it, she felt something was wrong.

"Since Dr. Ye has the ability to become an envoy of the Imperial Hospital, why did he resign? It is obvious that he has the chance to win the Emperor's favor by staying in the Imperial Hospital. He is not without suspicion. As long as he gains the Emperor's trust, Asking the emperor to investigate, are you afraid that his granddaughter will not be found? Why did you choose to resign and go to great lengths to find someone by yourself?" Lin Yao frowned and asked.

Lin Ruhai sighed, "Of the problems you can think of, others can naturally think of them. Many people in Beijing are aware of the grievances between the Yang family and the Ye family. That year when your grandfather died, I helped the spirit return to his hometown to observe filial piety, so several times I haven't been in Beijing for many years, and I don't know much about some things. Later, when I was in high school, I first entered the Hanlin Academy, and then became a doctor at Lantai Temple. After I took office, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on.”

"However, Ye Fei didn't come from a small family, and there are many old relatives in Beijing. If he wants to find his granddaughter, he can go to the He family for help. There is no reason to come to our house to find you. This is really strange. You You have to be on your guard against him."

Even if Lin Ruhai didn't tell him, Lin Yao would still be on guard against Ye Fei, but since Lin Ruhai said it, Lin Yao still agreed to make Lin Ruhai feel at ease.

After talking about Ye Fei, Lin Ruhai asked Lin Yao to rewrite the answer sheet of the test for him to read.

Lin Yao has an excellent memory, and the exam has just ended, so naturally he will not forget it, so he spent some time silently writing down the answer sheet and handing it to Lin Ruhai.

After reading it, Lin Ruhai smiled with satisfaction, "If there are no accidents, there should be no problem with your name."

Hearing this, Lin Yao was also a little relieved.

After all, after he decided to participate in this year's competition, the task interface on his wrist was updated with new tasks.

A total of two.

[Main task: the first place in the exam - Huiyuan. 】

[Reward: Official Luck and Prosperous Halo]

[Official Prosperity Halo: Passive skill, after activation, the host's official career will be smooth sailing, death will be auspicious, and every step of the way will be promoted. 】

[Main task: The first place in the imperial examination—the number one scholar. 】

[Reward: Emperor's Preference Halo]

[The emperor's partiality halo: When someone intentionally framed or framed the host, the emperor would favor the host for no reason and always believe what the host said. 】

Two tasks, reward two auras.

If he becomes an official with all his heart, these two auras are obviously very important.

Lin Ruhai used to be Tanhua, so his knowledge is beyond doubt. Since he said so, Lin Yao's top name should be stable.

After the moon came out, Lin Ruhai's birthday was approaching, and everyone in Lin's house was busy.

On March [-]th, the results of the examination were released, and Lin Yao High School ranked first in Huiyuan.

The Lin family was full of joy, and it was even more joyful on the day of Lin Ruhai's birthday banquet on the [-]th.

Because it was Lin Ruhai's first birthday banquet, many dignitaries came to congratulate him.

The person with the highest status is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Second Prince Yu Wang and the Third Prince Qi Wang.

The crown prince and King Yu just showed their faces and gave a valuable gift, and they left soon. Only King Qi stayed for a while. Lin Yao didn't expect that King Qi would come today, and asked Jia Lian who came to congratulate him to greet the guests. So he went to talk to King Qi.

"I have seen Your Highness."

King Qi is handsome and handsome, not the aggressive type, but rather gentle.

"Young Master Lin, you don't need to be too polite." King Qi's attitude was not arrogant, it could even be said to be very gentle.

Lin Yao had a smile on her face, "May I take a step to speak, Your Highness?"

King Qi and Lin Yao have no intersection, but Lin Yao's name is like a thunderbolt, everyone thinks that Lin Yao is a genius that is rare in a hundred years, and human beings say that this year's champion must be him.

Although I don't know what Lin Yao wanted to say when she approached him, but after all, he is Daiyu's elder brother, so I still want to show some face.

"It's impossible."

Lin Yao led King Qi to a side hall where there was no one there, and asked the servant girl to serve tea.

"Your Highness, do you know why I am looking for you?"

King Qi shook his head, "I don't know."

But he guessed that it was probably related to Daiyu.

After all, the only connection between them is Lin Yao's younger sister, Lin Daiyu.

Lin Yao sat down opposite King Qi, holding the tea as if to drink, but stopped when she handed it to her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and put down the teacup.

"My next words may be a little rude, but I have to say, please forgive me, Your Highness."

King Qi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Young Master Lin, it's okay to say."

"Sister She has been weak since she was a child. She grew up under the pampering of my wife and I. We never thought of marrying her into the royal family. His Majesty's gift of marriage is very sudden to us. I also know, As His Highness, it is impossible to only guard Yu'er..." Before Lin Yao could finish speaking, she was interrupted by King Qi.

"Mr. Lin, wait a minute, I seem to understand what you mean."

Before Lin Yao said these words, she specifically asked him to forgive her. At that time, he thought that what Lin Yao said would not be pleasant.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yao seemed to be just worried that Daiyu would be unhappy if she married him.

He couldn't help interrupting Lin Yao's words. Although it was very impolite, he felt that some things should be made clear earlier, so as not to deepen the misunderstanding.

"Mr. Lin's worry is very understandable, because I also have a younger sister, and I have reached the age of marriage. My mother has been choosing a future husband-in-law for my younger sister, but none of them are satisfied. Originally..." Qi Wang hesitated, or Continued, "Originally, the queen mother favored you, but who knew that you quickly settled the marriage. It is impossible for the queen mother to let you withdraw from the Gu family's marriage and marry the princess, so this matter has been shelved."

Lin Yao was a little embarrassed when she heard the words, this is all in the past, why mention it?Isn't it embarrassing?

"Miss Lin is very nice. When I first saw her in the Royal Garden, I felt that she was different from others. After getting along with each other more and more, I knew that she was very talented in poetry. If she was a man, maybe I can still come back with a champion and let her be a husband and a tutor, in fact, I can't imagine what it would be like..."

Lin Yao: "..."

Why does he feel that His Royal Highness is... a fan of Daiyu?

With the best tone of my idol, it really makes people want to complain and don't know where to start.

From then on, Lin Yao kept listening to His Royal Highness King Qi's fanciful praise of Daiyu, which made Lin Yao's face look disheartened.

After about half an hour, Yu Zhu's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Master, Master is looking for you."

Lin Yao stood up quickly as if she had been pardoned, and apologized to His Royal Highness Qi Wang, "I have something to do, so I'm sorry."

The king of Qi still had more ideas, but when Lin Ruhai went to find Lin Yao, he couldn't force him to stay, so he had to let Lin Yao go.

After leaving the side hall, Lin Yao rubbed her forehead, only feeling pain in her head.

He was worried about Daiyu's life before, but seeing King Qi's attitude of being a fan of Daiyu, his worry was completely unnecessary, and he could probably lose that marriage stone.

He took a few deep breaths to calm down his chaotic mood before going to the front.

It took two days for Lin Ruhai's birthday banquet to be finished.

After the birthday banquet, the Lin residence became quiet.

Lin Ruhai called Lin Yao to the study.

"I heard yesterday that you talked to King Qi in private?" Lin Ruhai asked.

When Lin Ruhai asked, Lin Yao recalled King Qi's flamboyant compliments on Daiyu, and she couldn't help but look disgusted.

"Yes."

"What's wrong with you? Are you arguing with King Qi?" Lin Ruhai frowned seeing Lin Yao's complexion.

Lin Yao waved her hands again and again, "That's not true. I'm just a little surprised. His Royal Highness King Qi has a special liking for his sister. I'm ashamed of myself."

At least he couldn't flaunt Gu Fulan in front of Gu Zhen.

Lin Ruhai was very surprised, "How do you say that?"

"King Qi...in short, he has a deep affection for his sister, so you don't have to worry about it." With King Qi's filter for Daiyu, even if Daiyu farts, he can say that it is a fairy.

Lin Yao's words made Lin Ruhai's head full of question marks, but no matter how he asked, Lin Yao said that King Qi had a deep love for Daiyu. Although he felt a little strange, he didn't think much about it.

Because Lin Yao was really kind to Daiyu, if King Qi really had a problem, Lin Yao's expression at the moment would never be so relaxed.

"There will be a retest in a few days. You have to be cautious and not be careless."

"Master, don't worry." Lin Yao was very cautious about this palace test and never meant to be negligent.

At the beginning of April, before the imperial examination, a re-examination must be conducted first, which is also to avoid cheating in the imperial examination.

Naturally, Lin Yao didn't have this kind of worry. No matter how many times he took the exam, his strength lay here.

After the re-examination, all was well, and then scheduled for April 21 to take the palace examination in the Imperial Palace.

Lin Yao asked himself that he had seen big scenes before, but the palace still opened his eyes.

The palace examination is held in the Jinshen Palace, and it takes a whole day to test.

After the palace examination, it was already late to leave the palace and go home.

The next step is to wait for the announcement of the palace examination.

Three days later, the results of the palace examination were announced, and Lin Yao was the champion of high school.

It is worth mentioning that Xie Yan and Lin Yao took the same exam, and they were the best candidates in high school.

In addition, there is Guo Xiao, whose ranking is neither high nor low, and is also in the top two.

After the Ceremony of Chuanlu, there is a parade on horseback.

Lin Yao is young and handsome, but she has already made a marriage contract, but she is Tanhua of Xinke, with a handsome appearance, and it is said that she is not yet married, and many of the people throwing handkerchiefs and sachets are heading towards Xie Yan.

Lin Yao laughed at him, "You are more beautiful than me, the number one scholar."

For this, Xie Yan rolled his eyes at him, "You should enjoy this scenery yourself, I don't want it."

"No, no, no, I already have a marriage contract, so I have no luck." Lin Yao said with a smile.

At this moment, he was extremely glad that he had a marriage contract earlier, it really saved a lot of trouble, at least he didn't have to be smashed all over his head by the sachet.
