[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle

At the time of the first lunar month, the Guozijian started school.

Freshmen are required to perform an entrance ceremony.

The first step is to dress properly.

The freshmen stood up one by one, and Mr. Yunsong Ruiyun, who was then the Imperial College of the Imperial Academy, arranged the clothes for each freshman in turn.

"Correct clothes first, then understand things", this is to hope that students can move towards the future with knowledge and understanding.

The second step is to worship the ancestors.

Under the leadership of the principal, the students knelt down on their knees and kowtowed nine times.Pay homage to the principal again and kowtow three times.After the completion of the ceremony, the students presented the principal with six gift packages, which were celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan and dried lean meat strips.

The third step is to clean hands and mind.

Students put their hands in the water basin to "clean their hands", wash the front and back once, and then dry them.Washing hands means to get rid of impurities and save essence, concentrate on one's mind, and have no other distractions.

After the three ceremonies have been performed, the freshman will be considered a real student of the Imperial College.

Afterwards, the school will also arrange an entrance examination, and divide these students into different classes according to their grades.

Master Jijiu will also invite the students in the class with the best grades to have a private conversation after class division.

The content of the conversation is nothing more than to encourage everyone to study hard, so that they can serve as officials in the court and benefit the people in the future.

Although it was a bit of a move, both parties knew in their hearts that this conversation was necessary.

The principal can use this to show his approachability, so as to further create a good image in the school.Students can also take this opportunity to get acquainted in front of the principal, so that they can talk better if they have something to do in the future.

Finally, it is tacit to each other that there was this "teacher-student meeting". From now on, no matter whether you are promoted or not, you will be on the same boat from now on, and everyone can help you when you enter the officialdom.

In essence, there are only advantages and no disadvantages for both parties, so they are happy to accept this unspoken rule.

And Lin Qing was naturally assigned to the best class.

At the beginning, Lin Ruhai actually wanted to directly send Lin Qing to the best class by going through the back door, because in the past few days of his investigation, although Lin Qing's performance was remarkable, but in the end, as the highest institution of higher learning, the Imperial College was the highest school. The tiger hides the dragon, masters are like clouds, he is really not sure that Lin Qing can pass the exam with his own strength.

He and Yun Songrui are of the same age, and they have a very good personal relationship. If they intercede in person, Yun Songrui will betray him.

However, Lin Qing firmly disagreed with him doing so, and must take the test by himself.

Lin Ruhai had no choice but to let him take the exam.

Of course, the final result made Lin Ruhai feel mixed.

The happy thing is that Lin Qing did pass the exam on her own; the sad thing is that Lin Qing is the last one in the whole class and belongs to the existence of the tail of the crane.

But everyone will be happy if they pass the exam, Lin Ruhai comforted himself like this.

Guozijian mainly accepts three groups of students.

Some of them are students like Lin Qing who got in by themselves. Among this group of students, only a very small number of them come from rich families like Lin Qing, and the rest are from poor families.

The other part is the children of the royal family.This was originally a rule set by Emperor Gao Gao. All the children of the royal family in Beijing must go to the Guozijian to receive education, and the prince is no exception.

The last part is some children with titles in their families, like Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and the like.In the final analysis, it was Emperor Gao's grace to these meritorious children, who gave them some extra places for admission.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that in the end, it was those students who were admitted based on their own strength who could occupy a place in the court and have the right to speak.

Therefore, this group of students will often become the target of the other two groups of students.

The children of the royal family are better. If they want to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, they don't have to win over anyone at all, and they can still be at ease.Of course, if you are ambitious, that's another story.

And the descendants of those heroes are not good. Their families have lost a lot of titles in their generation, and they are getting farther and farther away from the center of power, and some of them even directly fell into ruin.If you don't want your class to fall sharply, finding a backer is a must.Now that there are these enrollment places, it is the best way to win over this group of people when they are still in their infancy.

However, it depends on whether people will eat your set.

After all, who can be admitted here, who is not a dragon and phoenix among people?

Could they not be clear about the truth of "do nothing to be courteous"?

Besides, these sons of heroic officials are mostly descendants of military generals, and their family background predestined that they would not be able to play against these city government's very deep-minded and many exam wizards.

Out of the consideration of not getting married and not being able to make grudges, people will at most just make nodding acquaintances with you, wanting to communicate at a deeper level?Sorry, no pardon!

Of course, there are no absolutes in everything. Some people avoid them, and some rush to make friends with them. I won't mention this for now.

In fact, at the beginning, Lin Qing was very surprised when Lin Ruhai said that the current sacrificial wine was called Yun Songrui.

Because he remembered that Li Wan's father, Li Shouzhong, was the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine.Later, after careful recollection, I remembered that the book said that "I used to serve as a sacrifice to the Imperial College", and it was not always in office.

Looking at it this way, it's no wonder that his Jia family urgently wants to bind their interests with the Lin family.

The Nanke Kingdom originally valued literature over military affairs, and it was better at the beginning of the founding of the country. Later, the country gradually stabilized, and military officers were not used much, and their status declined rapidly.

I don't know which expert developed the current perfect examination system for Nanke Country, which basically cut off the way for related households to enter the court and become an official, and the number of candidates admitted every year skyrocketed.

The so-called "many people are powerful", in the later period, children from poor families accounted for an increasing proportion of civil servants, gradually grasped the right to speak, and then pushed those related households to the margins.

Seeing that they couldn't get through the back door, the nobles wanted to take the exam by themselves, regardless of whether they had the talent for reading or not, but these sons and gentlemen were spoiled and spoiled since childhood, how could they bear the hardship of studying?So this way doesn't work.

In the end, I really had no choice, so I decided to surrender my status and find a civil servant as a backer.Marriage is a decent way, Li Wan is, and so is Lin Ruhai.

Although Lin Ruhai is also from the family of Liehou, who can be expected to compete with others? With his own hard work, he was admitted to Tanhua, the third existence in the country!Directly from "veteran nobles" to "political nobles", one of the clean streams.

As I said before, in the officialdom of Nanke Country, the most important thing is the test results. A person like Lin Ruhai who has a family background, looks, achievements, ability, and honesty is like a fish in water in the civil official circle!

Therefore, Jia's mother had a long-term vision, so she married her favorite youngest daughter to Lin Ruhai, who had lost her title, during the Jia family's most prosperous period.

But it is a pity that now that Jia Min is gone, the bridge connecting the Jia family and the Lin family is gone, Baoyu has done that to Daiyu again, and the Holy Majesty has entrusted Lin Ruhai with a "heavy task". , is completely ruined.

It is even more difficult to find such a good backer again.

After all, their Jia family doesn't have such a good daughter as Jia Min now, and their family fortune has begun to decline.

Weather, location, and people.

The same is not accounted for, it is God who wants to kill them.

Lin Ruhai specially invited Yun Songrui to Lin's mansion for dinner after Lin Qing successfully entered school.

Different from Lin Ruhai who gives people the impression of being gentle, elegant and personable, Yun Songrui is ugly and has a very eccentric temper. He thinks highly of himself and looks down on this all the time.

Even if the emperor was a few minutes late for the court, he would be in the court hall, in front of all the officials, and the emperor would not come down.

However, this guy is extremely talented in writing, and his knowledge is even more profound. He is eloquent, citing scriptures and classics, and he really scolded your eight generations of ancestors without using any dirty words.So the emperor could only grit his teeth and bear it every time. After all, he was indeed "reasonable and well-founded". If he didn't want to be scolded more harshly, he had to endure it.

Of course, his reckless behavior is not completely without consequences.

For example, even though he was in the same high school as Lin Ruhai, and he was still the number one!But after half his life, he was still a sacrificial wine, and the pavilion didn't let him in.

It's not that the sacrificial wine is not good, it's just that compared to his status as the number one scholar, it's really low.

After all, the civil servants of Nanke Kingdom have always regarded "joining the cabinet" as the highest honor, even a lifelong dream.And the champions of the same period, as long as they are not too mediocre and have not made any mistakes in principle, they can all join the cabinet.

So comparing the two sides, Yun Songrui's situation is a bit embarrassing.

Of course, there is a reason why an arrogant and stubborn old man like Yun Songrui is so close to Lin Ruhai.

Apart from the fact that the two teachers came from the same school, and it was the same year, Lin Ruhai's own knowledge and demeanor were also appreciated by him, there is another reason why it is inconvenient to say that Lin Ruhai was transferred to the south of the Yangtze River less than a month after joining the cabinet. .

Therefore, he has always had a kind of sympathy for Lin Ruhai, and a good feeling that "things hurt their kind".

uh, this...

Is it understood that he himself still cares about not joining the cabinet?

In short, due to various reasons, Lin Ruhai is one of the few people in Yun Songrui who can sell face, and Lin Ruhai is naturally aware of it, so this time he was invited to the mansion under the name of celebration, but in fact, he wanted to ask him to take care of Lin Qing more in the future. Take care of him as much as possible.

After all, he is not often in Beijing, and Lin Qing is still young, and there are many things that need to be pointed out by someone who knows.

Yun Songrui valued powerful people the most, and the more powerful he was, the more important he was. So when he learned that Lin Qing passed the exam on his own, he couldn't help but look at him differently.

Not bad, it's rare for this kind of young master to endure such hardships!

In addition, Lin Qing is Lin Ruhai's only younger brother, and he will be the helm of the Lin family in the future, responsible for the success or failure of the Lin family.He also wanted his friend's family to be fine, so he patted his chest and promised to take good care of him.

Lin Ruhai knew that although he was arrogant, he always "do what he says and do what he says", and since he made a promise, he would definitely do it.

Lin Qing just studied in the Imperial College with peace of mind, and Lin Ruhai stayed in the capital for the time being.

Before Lin Qinglin went to school, she was afraid that she would not be able to come out often, and Daiyu would be bored if she was stuck at home alone, so before entering school, Tete bought a lot of strange novels for her, so that she could read them at home to relieve her boredom.

He loved reading this kind of novels when he was in junior high school. It was novel and interesting, and it was a great way to pass the time.

Of course, the so-called love novels such as "The Romance of the West Chamber" should not even be considered.A child should behave like a child, and Lin Qing thinks that it is extremely inappropriate to be exposed to the love of the adult world too early. He also wants Daiyu to live a few more years of carefree, innocent and ignorant days.

Before I knew it, it was the second day of February.

It was Sister Lin's birthday, Lin Qing said hello to Lin Ruhai a few days earlier, and said that she would ask for leave to go home to spend her birthday with Daiyu, Lin Ruhai didn't object, and agreed very happily.

So Lin Qing reported the leave to the school, but the school refused to approve it at first, after all, this is not the time for the holiday.There was no other way, Lin Qing had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, find Yun Songrui, explain the ins and outs, and then only asked for half a day off and vowed to make up all the missed classes, Yun Songrui reluctantly agreed.

Lin Ruhai was just a small office, and did not invite anyone from the Jia family, so at the dinner table, there were only Lin Ruhai, Lin Qing, and Daiyu, enjoying the reunion dinner happily.

Just as they were eating happily, an imperial decree descended from the sky.

The author says:

This "enrollment ceremony" should actually be the "entrance ceremony" for children entering a private school, but due to time constraints, I didn't find much information about the Imperial College, so I revised this "entrance ceremony", and the right is for the Taixue "Entrance Ceremony", because I thought, there is this kind of "etiquette" on this occasion, which will be more solemn and formal.But just take a look at it casually, don't take it too seriously! ! !It should be based on Baidu Encyclopedia or the information recorded in ancient books.This is just for the author's own amusement!
