[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

After the apprenticeship ceremony, the Wang family's courtyard suddenly became lively, and there was an endless stream of people who came to say goodbye to the siblings, and these people were no longer limited to the nearby low-level officials or landlords and businessmen. There are also no bastards who were descended from the down-and-out nobles or who were born in big families.

These people also probably knew that the Wang family had risen, and they were no longer on the same level as them. It would be humiliating for them to ask a matchmaker again, so they all gave up their thoughts.

But for Wang Yue, family status is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to find someone to treat his sister well and respect her.

But it is very difficult, even in the modern age of equality between men and women and monogamy, it is extremely difficult to find a sincere person, let alone in the ancient times when concubinage and housekeeping are completely in line with the law and social consciousness. ?

In ancient times, women not only had to abide by the three obediences and four virtues, but also took the initiative to take concubines for their husbands. Anyone who dared to show a little bit of jealousy would be labeled as a jealous woman and cast aside!

However, this is not unsolvable, just like Wang Xifeng, she has the support of family power behind her, no matter how hard Jia Lian is, she still dare not bring the woman into the house, and only dares to act in a sneaky way outside, which is a reputation for fear of the inside. I can only endure it.

His elder sister has a gentle temperament, not as strong as Wang Xifeng's temper, nor her sharp wrists, which also requires him, as a younger brother, to work harder.

It's just that his sister's future husband must be of low birth.

However, the reason for convincing the parents to step up efforts to train the older sister was to use the older sister's marriage as an excuse to attract contacts, so it may be difficult to persuade the parents to arrange a lower marriage for the older sister.

Fortunately, his current development momentum is good, and he has more and more power to speak at home. It will not be difficult to decide on his sister's marriage by then. After another two years, he will definitely be able to choose a satisfactory marriage with his sister.

As for the moment, Wang Yue used an excuse to get his parents to agree not to arrange a marriage for his sister for the time being. First of all, he is now on the cusp of the storm, so he should not be too public, so as not to cause trouble for himself.

Secondly, wait another two years, after he becomes a Jinshi, my sister will have a greater choice in her marriage, and she will be able to choose a brother-in-law with a higher background.

This reason easily convinced the Wangs and his wife, but Wang Yue was secretly looking for candidates in private, but with his current interpersonal relationship, most of the people he came into contact with were classmates and friends in the Imperial College.

In the Guozijian, those who were born high were either playboys, how could those people be worthy of his sister?

Either they are motivated and ambitious, and these people are eager to marry a well-matched young lady to help them. Even if Wang Yue has become very popular now, his sister will not appear in their marriage list, let alone Their backgrounds are too high, and Wang Yue is also worried that his sister will be easily bullied after marrying. It will be difficult for him to use his brother-in-law's status to help his sister. Therefore, these people were kicked out by Wang Yue in the first time. Out of his shortlist.

And some other students who were not born too high, these people, like the Wang family, do not have deep roots, and all the students who can come to the Imperial College are talented and hard-working students, they naturally have a bright future and are good candidates for son-in-law!

But Wang Yue is always worried that these people will be too ambitious and use all means for their own future. After all, Bao Xing is always a scholar, and his sister is too simple, so he must not be able to play with their means.

Even if these people behave purely, but they don't know their faces, who knows what they are like behind the scenes?

Therefore, Wang Yue was picky in every possible way, and in the end he couldn't choose a good candidate. Everyone would always let him find such and other problems, but fortunately, there was still time to choose slowly.

While helping his sister choose a husband-in-law, Wang Yue also began to travel to and from the Princess Mansion.

Guozijian has very strict requirements for students, but this also depends on the situation.

For those students who have passed the Jinshi exam, they have basically graduated from the Imperial College. They will generally move out of the Imperial College and will not continue to study in the Imperial College.

As for those who have already passed the exam, they don’t need to stay in the Imperial College all the time, they only need to attend enough courses and ensure that they can pass the quarterly and annual exams. Besides, the Imperial College will not ask too much of them , and there is no need for them to stay in the Guozijian every day.

So Wang Yue now spends most of his time at the Princess Mansion, except for occasionally going to the Imperial College to attend a class and ask some teachers questions.

First of all, there is a rich collection of books, it is really a vast world that makes people addicted and unable to extricate themselves.

Secondly, Lin Qing was very strict with him.It made him have to spend most of his time outside of reading in his studies in order to complete the homework assigned by Lin Qing.

Although Lin Qing said that he hoped that his apprentice would concentrate on being a painter in the future and not indulge in official careers, but Lin Qingqing had strict requirements on his painting, and he did not relax in the knowledge required for the imperial examination.

After all, Lin Qing is a person who passed Tanhualang, and he is very experienced in imperial examinations. The book lists he gave Wang Yue are very targeted, and he has his own unique insights into the questions Wang Yue encountered in his studies. This inspired Wang Yue and benefited a lot.

Therefore, Wang Yue also worked harder, and the time passed quickly with this hard work.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching, and in this short period of two months, Wang Yue has become the third owner of the Princess Mansion.

Lin Qing and Eldest Princess Shuxian have been married for more than 30 years, but they only have two daughters. They have already married and left the Princess Mansion. Now the two senior sisters are with their husbands in other places, so Lin Qing and Eldest Princess Shuxian are not in the Princess Mansion. There are no other masters.

Lin Qing had already accepted four apprentices in front of Wang Yue, and his four senior brothers were all good officials. The senior senior brother had already reached the third rank, and he was only in his 30s. This shows his means.

Although the other three senior brothers were not promoted as fast as the senior senior brother, they were not too far behind. This is also the reason why many people want to worship under Linqing's sect. benefit.

It's no wonder that after Wang Yue came to Lin Qing's sect, more and more people were willing to associate with him. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince valued him, the Crown Prince was still young. No matter how promising he was, it was only the future, and Lin Qing became his After being backed by the mountain, he made up for his shortcomings and gave him the confidence to face those powerful people.

Apart from being good officials, those senior brothers are all masters of Danqing, but it is a pity that none of them can inherit Lin Qing's mantle, only Wang Yue, who is calm by nature, is the most likely to inherit his mantle in the future people.

For this reason, while Lin Qing was strict with Wang Yue, he also cared about his life, and was no longer limited to a strict mentor-student relationship.

This made Wang Yue feel a little novel. Master, master, is a teacher on the one hand and a father on the other.

Wang Yue's father in his previous life was an incomprehensible person. Of course he cared about Wang Yue, but his concern was limited to giving money. As for other things, he put most of his energy on women, which he could leave to Wang Yue. Too few.

As for the father in this life, of course he dotes on Wang Yue very much, but he is obedient and doting to Wang Yue. Wang Yue is so old, and he has never heard a harsh word from his father.

So Wang Yue had only heard of the legendary strict father, but had never come into contact with it.

But he experienced this feeling in Lin Qing.

Wang Yue is not a child. He knows that Lin Qing's strict demands on him are for his own good. Therefore, he will try his best to fulfill all kinds of requests made by Lin Qing, and he has never complained. The stern attitude shown in front of him alienated him, but became very close to him.

This made Lin Qing feel the feeling of raising a son. Although he and the princess have a harmonious relationship and don't feel any regrets about not having a son, but occasionally he still feels a little lost in his heart. It's not that he doesn't mean to be close to the previous apprentices , but once he came, in order to maintain dignity in front of his apprentice, his attitude was more severe, so this apprentice couldn't get close to him.

Secondly, Lin Qing was also a little disappointed with the choices of those apprentices, so in the end their relationship only stayed on the ordinary master-student relationship, and did not go any further.

But Wang Yue is different.

Lin Qing's changes were naturally not ignored by Princess Shuxian, who was closest to him. Princess Shuxian had a docile temperament and never felt that she was superior to her son-in-law because of her status as a princess, so the relationship between the two was very harmonious.

For not being able to leave Lin Qing with an offspring, she actually blamed herself very much, but out of her own selfishness, Princess Shuxian never mentioned the matter of taking a concubine for Lin Qing.

Now seeing that he treats his little apprentice like a son, Princess Shuxian is also happy for her husband, so she takes good care of her husband's little apprentice.

The attitudes of the two masters naturally also affected the attitudes of the servants below. Wang Yue felt at home in this strange princess mansion, so the relationship with the teacher and his wife became better and better.

I have to say that Wang Yue is a good apprentice. Not only is he talented, he is hardworking, he respects his teacher, and he can talk nicely to coax others. Lin Qing regarded him as his son, and Princess Shuxian also regarded him as her junior.
