Inside the Zhuangyuan Building in Kyoto.

Wearing a light robe, the handsome and extraordinary man walked in slowly.Xiao Er hurriedly greeted her and asked if she wanted to go to the private room upstairs.The man waved his hand, found a seat by the window and sat down, and ordered Xiao Er to serve some good tea.This man is none other than Lin Ruhai, the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials.The tea in Zhuangyuan building is very good. At this moment, he is sipping tea carefully while observing a group of scholars opposite who are dancing and competing for literary talent.

Most of them were selected in this year's general examination, and now they are Gongshi, and they can officially enter the official career only after the palace examination is divided into first ranks.Palace examinations are often tested by the emperor himself, and the top three are distinguished according to their talents.The first and third ranks are awarded Jinshi and the first rank, commonly known as champion, second place, and Tanhua;

It turned out that the examination was held every three years, presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the location of the examination was set at the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites in the capital.And because it is held in spring, it is also called Chunwei.Juren and Guozijian supervisors from all provinces can participate, and those who pass the exam will be tribute scholars.Being selected as a tribute, these students can be considered to have realized the ambition that Hongfei had held high for many years, and there are not a few of them who have made great progress since then.

Therefore, at the moment most of them seem to be high-spirited, with a hint of arrogance in their actions.

Suddenly one person pointed to a pot of daisies by the window and said, "Why don't we use this flower as the theme, and how about we write a poem for each?" !"

The brother of Jin in the population is this year's Huiyuan, Sun Biao, who is named Jinzhi and is from Yingtianfu.Although it is not a family of officials, it is also a famous family in the local area.This person is very good at reading, and he has aspired high since he was a child, and vowed to be the person who will benefit the world.This Sun Biao took part in the province's township examination last year and knew Yuan in high school. This time, the examination held by the Ministry of Rites is the No. 1 Huiyuan.Therefore, it is quite popular among these students.

Sun Biao became humble when he heard the words, but everyone insisted on asking him to write first, so he had to ponder for a moment, and said:

The order orchid condenses the summer dew, and the yellow flowers shine in the morning light.

Still holding the color of this year, and reuniting Wannianfang.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help clapping their hands and shouting: "Wonderful! Brother Jin is really amazing. He deserves to be the number one in Chunwei this year. I'm ashamed of myself!"

Lin Ruhai also nodded secretly. Although the words of this five unique poems are shallow, the skill is evident. It seems that this year's Huiyuan still has a little bit of writing.

Sun Biao hurriedly bowed to each other: "Where is it? My younger brother is so inexperienced that everyone laughs at me!"

Everyone didn't even dare to say it, and they all wrote a poem.Lin Ruhai listened attentively, and there were a few good ones.It's just that it's not as good as the first song, so I lost interest.Just about to get up and leave, unexpectedly a person came in front of him.This life is tall and burly, with a beautiful demeanor, phoenix eyes and sword eyebrows.I saw him wearing a long robe and a jade belt around his waist, which made him look even more heroic, with a fierce power that made people dare not look directly at him.

This person is Xiao Zhelin, the current monarch of the Dasheng Dynasty.

When he entered the door, his eyes were glued to a man by the window, and he saw that the man was dressed as a romantic scribe today.With a light robe and a belt, and a jade crown to tie her hair, she is extremely handsome.There are jade pendants, purses and other things hanging on the waist, which looks energetic and dignified.Since he was sitting there, the silver robe outlined beautiful folds, attracting infinite reverie.Especially the smile on the corner of the mouth is really breathtaking!

Xiao Zhelin couldn't help but be dazed, and stood there in a daze, his mind blank.

Everyone looked towards the door one after another, Xiao Er was intimidated by Xiao Zhelin's power, and was speechless in silence.Lin Ruhai glared at that person fiercely, why did he go crazy, didn't he know that standing there was very eye-catching?

Xiao Zhelin just grinned at Lin Ruhai, but didn't advance half a point.

Lin Ruhai gritted her teeth secretly, she had no choice but to pull someone over and push him on the chair, without saying a word, she continued to drink tea by herself.

Xiao Zhelin didn't know how to offend his lover again, so he had to be careful to accompany him.

Lin Ruhai kicked Xiao Zhelin under the table, and said in a low voice, "Don't be slobbery, don't show your emperor's airs!" Then he glanced at those scholars, "I saw those people Is it? From now on, they will all be your courtiers, if you lose face today, you will never be able to get it back in the future!"

Xiao Zhelin smiled indifferently, he really didn't care about saving face.Besides, apart from this person in front of him, who else would dare to be disrespectful to him?But if Ruhai said so, he was more or less concerned about him!Unconsciously, Xiao Zhelin was so happy in his heart, he really put on airs, and didn't make any more moves.This made Lin Ruhai quite satisfied, so he pointed to the person who just wrote the poem to show him, and praised him again.

Xiao Zhelin said sourly: "So you are satisfied with him?"

Lin Ruhaiyou unconsciously said with a smile: "The literary talent is good, and the character is also good. But what the imperial court needs are officials who can handle affairs. It is useless to have talent but no talent. What's the use of writing well? The key is Whether it can do practical things. Whether this person can be entrusted with important tasks needs to be investigated."

Xiao Zhelin snorted and said, "I can see that he looks like he can't lift his shoulders or lift his hands, so I know he has no talent, except he can write a few sour poems to show off!"

Lin Ruhai glared at him: "The selection of officials is not about looking for servants, so why not care if they can be selected or not!"

Xiao Zhelin said a few words about the number of loved ones, and he was wronged because of another man.He also became resentful towards Sun Biao, and secretly decided that he must not be selected to enter the top two at that time, and he would directly point to a place and be assigned as a county magistrate far away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these thoughts went through in his mind, Lin Ruhai said: "You are not allowed to target him!"

Xiao Zhelin suddenly froze. Is there such a hard-working emperor?Do you have to pretend to be magnanimous and don't mind watching your lover flirt with others?

The two worked together for a while, and Lin Ruhai pointed out to Xiao Zhelin one by one the people he valued.And the other party also temporarily showed the emperor's demeanor, and judged these people one by one, which was similar to what Hero Lin Ruhai saw.After sitting for a while, and having observed the person almost, the two got up and left.

At the moment, Jia's mansion is in a different situation.

After breakfast, Jia's mother called Wang Xifeng and said: "Yesterday your master and your uncle went to the Lin Mansion and met your sister. She lost her mother at such a young age, and she is not in good health. It's a pity. As soon as I came back and told me, I cried a lot, that is Min'er's only child, just like my own grandson, how can I not make people sad?"

Mother Jia shed tears as she spoke, and the little girl next to her hurriedly handed over the brocade handkerchief. Mother Jia took it and wiped her eyes lightly, and said, "My poor Min'er, why did you leave so early?" Well, leaving my Yu'er alone, without any brothers or sisters..." Then she wiped her tears again, her words choked with sobs: "I've thought about it a long time ago, you go to Lin's mansion and pick up your son. Sister, come, let's get closer together."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "It's the ancestors who think more thoughtfully than us? My sister is really miserable. She lost her mother at a young age. She doesn't know what will happen in the future? She is also lonely at home. Uncle Lin is also willing to accept that we have sisters as companions and ancestors love us in our house."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "That's the reason. Anyway, the two houses are not far away, so it's convenient to travel. Prepare some gifts, and you can go tomorrow!" At this point, Jia Mu paused, and said, "Just remember Be careful, your Uncle Lin is now in a high position and has won the favor of the Holy One, so etiquette cannot be underestimated."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Don't worry, old ancestor, I know, I can still handle this little thing!"

Jia Mu nodded: "Well, I know you are talented, go prepare!"

Wang Xifeng took the order and left, and asked someone to get the key to the warehouse, and carefully selected a few precious artifacts.Here Jia Mu was finally worried, so she asked someone to send some personal things as a congratulatory gift.

In the courtyard of the main house, Mother Jia was reclining on the couch with her eyes closed, while a little girl was sitting on the footrest, beating her leg with a beautiful woman's leg.Yuanyang knelt on the couch, gently rubbing her temples for Mother Jia.For a while Yuanyang asked: "Old lady, you usually don't want to put those things on display. Why did you give them away all at once?"

Jia Mu squinted her eyes and said for a long time: "Well, I still feel thin?" Lin Ruhai is now a high-ranking official and in charge of the official department.The Ministry of Officials has always been the head of the six ministries, and has the right to appoint officials below the fourth rank. How many people just want to give gifts but have no way?He was just afraid that Lin Ruhai would look down on this thing, so it would be safe if he could bring Daiyu over.

Her two sons, although the eldest son has won the title, but he is only playing around, not doing business, living a life of luxury and luxury, so there is no hope.The second son is good, but he has been a member of the Ministry of Industry for several years, and in terms of sixth grade, he is only better than ordinary ordinary people.Relying on the airs of the Duke's Mansion, he was not ridiculed.

These years, she has been worrying about this matter. She originally wanted to point out that Yuan Chun could earn some dignity for the family in the palace, but she didn't want to be expelled from the palace by the Holy One for some reason.I asked her why and she refused to tell, she just cried and cried, and the crying person was upset.Thanks to the fact that I spent so much effort training her back then, I didn't expect to offend the nobleman within a few years of entering the palace.The maids who were expelled from the palace are not even as good as the daughters of ordinary people. It is really a waste of effort.

Now it's all right, if Lin Ruhai can be promoted, it's really unknown if he can really rise to the top!

Yuanyang has been by Jiamu's side for many years, so how can she not understand what her plan is, but she must not be able to tell the truth, so she said with a smile: "I have heard from the older generation that the old lady always loves the aunt the most. , I met you today, as expected, Miss Lin will be blessed in the future."

When Jia Mu heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were still half closed. She patted Yuanyang's hand and said, "I can't blame you for loving you, but you girl knows my heart..."
