Uncle Lin fell from the sky [Red Mansion + Qing Chuan]

In the following period of time, Lin Zizhen went to the Ministry of History to register a new address.Most of the rest stayed at home to read books, just spent some money to go to the study to look up the laws of the Qing Dynasty.Only then did he realize that his previous thought of making some money through doing business was a big mistake.

The laws of the Qing Dynasty expressly prohibited officials from engaging in business and competing for profits with the people.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are under the status of merchants. As a modern person, I just know it. Only when I travel to ancient times can I understand the heaviness of it.Of course, if you become a big salt merchant like Yangzhou area, then of course it will be a matter of status.

But look at these salt merchants, trying every means, whenever there is a disaster, they donate a lot of money, just to ask for the grace of the above, to exempt one or two places in the family, and to be able to study and take scientific examinations.

It can be seen that scholars, as the highest class in ancient times, are the promotion method that almost everyone except the royal family and princes are chasing.

Therefore, it is impossible for Lin Zizhen to be a fool and keep going about business.As a person, even if you are an excellent person, if you fight against the society and the country, the result can be imagined.

Lin Zizhen doesn't have any dream of becoming a king or emperor. Even if he holds the golden finger of an online shopping platform in his hand, he can't say that he will definitely change the world.He just wants to live a good life seriously and manage his life well.

Therefore, at this time, it is really impossible for Lin Zi to go directly to do business. However, if he has reliable people in his hands, it is not impossible to recruit them as doormen, and then use these people to manage something.Most of the princes and nobles, as well as high-ranking officials, use this method, or see the trusted servants of the mansion release their slaves, or take in some sincere merchants.

Cover up every year and earn a lot of money.There is a house of gold in the book, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, this is not empty talk.

So now Lin Zizhen can only continue to study.Fortunately, the money in his hand can still be used for a while.He bought a lot of things one after another, and now he still has 62 taels in his hand.

The original owner had given him a good start, regardless of whether he passed the examination or not, thinking of the letters left by the original owner's mother, he believed that no matter what, he could live his life well in this era.

Lin Zizhen silently planned what he needed to do next, and it would be even better if he could be on the list.

Even though he had the memory of the original owner, Lin Zizhen did not dare to ignore it. He has been working hard these days to integrate the knowledge in his mind. At the same time, he also spent some money to find a lot of books related to ancient scientific research on a certain treasure.

To be honest, when I first read these stereotyped essays, I always felt dull, but after going deeper, I found that stereotyped essays can also be not rigid. Although the format is rigidly stipulated, the content is developed by oneself.

Some people can write beautiful flowers, while others can write practical and sharp... These days, Lin Zizhen has also gained a lot of fun from solving topics, conceiving, and writing articles.Especially when I saw that a classical Chinese article with precise words and targeted targets was actually written by myself, I was very satisfied.

Although the remaining knowledge in his brain belonged to the original owner, the idea of ​​these articles was pondered by himself.It also brings out a bit of the demeanor of a former science student, with rigorous logic.Coupled with the daily news broadcast and extensive hunting of books in the previous life, the literary talent may be inferior to some people, but the knowledge and suggestions given are far better than others.

The raid in just nearly a month was still useful.

This also made Lin Zi really heave a sigh of relief, otherwise, even if he passed the general examination, and when he arrived at the palace examination, his answers were all messed up, then he would not be ashamed and have no future.

Lin Zi was really lucky. On the day the list was released, he didn't even look at the list.Instead, I prepared a few red envelopes and a lot of copper plates.If he wins, it's a good thing. If he doesn't win, it doesn't matter. He can go to the next big pick, and if he doesn't, he can go to Zhenbeiler's mansion.

When it was time to apply, Lin Zizhen thought that he might not be on the list, but at this moment, the sound of a gong came, followed by a knock on the door, Lin Zizhen opened the door, and there was a burst of congratulations.

He was on the list, 180th place. There were more than 3000 candidates who came to the capital to take the exam this time, and a total of 210 people were admitted to the list this time.Although his ranking is at the bottom, it is not bad if he can pass the exam.I am really grateful to the original owner. The original owner is really outstanding in terms of knowledge. You must know that when everyone else was studying again, this guy was still hooked up by his drinking and meat friends all over the capital to play.

It's no wonder that he is extraordinarily conceited, and finally developed such a cold personality.

But in the end, it was all cheap for him, and it was not good for him to comment on the past of the original owner.Lin Zi was really happy to stuff red envelopes for the officials who came to congratulate him, and distributed a lot of copper coins to the crowd on the sidelines.

After waiting for a while, the crowd dispersed.

Next, is the imperial examination.In the middle, Lin Zizhen went to the Ministry of Household Affairs and received 30 taels of silver from the Xinke Scholars' Banner Plaque. He also went to the Ministry of Rites to learn the rules for a few days with other Jinshi on the list.

I also met a lot of people, but there were only two I talked to, one was from Sichuan, and his name was Li Guanghua.He is a round young man, but because of his fair skin, he looks approachable and has a good personality. When talking about their Shu land, there are all kinds of delicious food, and he is a favorite at first glance.

The other one, Zhang Jialin, is from Hexi. His personality looks serious, but he is not rigid. Because the seats are lined up together, at the beginning, he was not willing to talk to Lin Zizhen. He had heard about Lin Zizhen's things before, but after getting along, I just feel that others are maliciously slandering.

He also slowly started to talk with Lin Zizhen, and as soon as they came and went, the three of them gradually became familiar with each other.It is also a blessing to find a friend to talk to when you are in a different place.

After that, the three of them often got together to discuss knowledge and search for delicious snacks in the capital together.

In a blink of an eye, it was the imperial examination.

Because I have been studying and practicing uninterruptedly before.When he got the test paper, Lin Zizhen was not stage frightened. The topic this time was about river management.River management has always been a headache for the court in the Qing Dynasty.A lot of money is spent on it every year, but the effect has not been significant.

Lin Zizhen had read a lot of materials in this area, so after thinking about the structure of the article for a while, he wrote it with spirit and eloquence. After more than an hour, he finished the article.

After checking it again and again, they were not guided out of the palace until the bell rang.As for what Emperor Kangxi looked like sitting on it, Lin Zizhen had no chance to see it.I only heard him say a few words before the exam, and at other times, he seemed to have moved. One of the rules taught before entering the palace is not to look directly at the superior.

But what they Jinshi don't know is that they are writing hard below, and Emperor Kangxi above is also reviewing the twists and turns. Last year, he ordered the abolition of Suoertu, so that there are still a lot of troubles in the court. At the same time, the relationship between father and son tended to be tense, and a few days ago, the urgent memorial sent up by the lower levels made the Yellow River burst its embankment again.

It's just that Emperor Kangxi was not in a good mood while he was busy with official duties.

Until this time the chief examiner submitted the test papers of the top ten candidates who were ready to be admitted, one of which was Lin Zizhen. After Emperor Kangxi read it, several of them were particularly exciting, which also made Emperor Kangxi feel better. After thinking about it for a while, it was still Lin Zizhen's share, with clear thinking and more practical suggestions. After reading it, he felt that it was reliable, but considering other factors, his No. There are certain considerations.

The Kong family in Shandong, it is rare for them to have a top-notch man on the Manchu side, and they also need to occupy a position. There is also the Fan family, who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty early, and they also need to treat their descendants well...

In this way, forget it, let's make it No.5.After confirming the ranking, Emperor Kangxi took out Lin Zizhen's test paper and sent it to the ministers in the South Study Room for circulation.There are a few novel and good ideas among them, let everyone study them.

Before Lin Zizhen knew about him, Emperor Kangxi already had an impression of his name, and many other important ministers also knew that there was such a young man.

And these woods are really unknown.After participating in the Chuanlu Ceremony, Lin Zi was really happy knowing that his ranking had risen so much, and he had jumped to No.5 and No.2 in the second class.In addition to him, there are also many people whose rankings have improved a lot compared to the original ones. For Lin Guanghua he knew and Zhang Jialin, their rankings have also improved a lot. .

After that, the rest will be arranged by the higher authorities. The champion, the second place, and Tanhua can directly enter the Imperial Academy, and they will have to rely on their luck. Or directly dispatched to fill the vacancy.

After celebrating with two new friends, Lin Zizhen took a day off to tidy himself up carefully, took his name card, and headed for Zhenbei Le Mansion.

Thinking of going to visit this Emperor Yongzheng who was later known as Emperor Yongzheng, Lin Zizhen couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.From the fragmented information obtained on the Internet, it can be known that this is a particularly contradictory person, I just hope that he will not be too serious.

However, from memory, the little things the original owner's mother said, it can be seen that this seems to be just a child with a stubborn temper, not talkative, a bit awkward, and especially likes sweets and puppies.

It's true, when his mother left, the fourth elder brother was indeed a six or seven-year-old child.

The original owner's mother was born in a branch of the Guerjia clan of the Manchu nationality, but she had no identity as a bannerman, and the family had long since fallen into despair.Later, he married Lin Jiazi who came to Beijing to take the exam, and he was the father of the original owner.

The two couples had a son and a daughter before, but because of the birth of the fourth prince in the palace, the royal family chose a wet nurse and nanny for them, and the mother of the original owner happened to be selected and became the wet nurse of the fourth prince.Serving the fourth prince since she was a child until she was about six years old, plus her own son and daughter died early, she put all her heart on the fourth prince.

When the little prince went to school wearing a jacket and boots, the original owner's mother was sent home by Concubine De.However, the relationship between the two has not been completely severed. As soon as the fourth prince was able to handle errands, he asked people to inquire about his wet nurse. Knowing that the wet nurse had lost her husband and had a posthumous child, she also secretly let people take care of her and gradually recovered. got in touch.

But the original owner didn't know why, and always deliberately ignored this relationship. Since his mother passed away, Bian had cut off contact with Sibeile Mansion.

However, now Lin Zizhen will not throw this relationship away for nothing. He doesn't necessarily want to use it to seek anything, but he can have multiple relationships and multiple people who can help in times of crisis. , knowing how important this is.

As long as he treats people with sincerity and is worthy of his heart, he doesn't think it is a shameful thing to manage contacts.

Lin Zizhen was so determined to meet the class teacher, handed in the greeting card, and waited at the concierge.
