Lin Ji's struggling life

In the early morning of the next day, it happened to be Xiumu, and after making an appointment with Mr. Gao, Lin Ji took Lin Daiyu to the Gao family mansion.Guarjia Wenxiang also came here by appointment. The two met at the corner of the street and went together.

Lin Daiyu was carried directly into the inner courtyard from the east corner gate in the sedan chair.Lin Ji and Wen Xiang went to the living room of the main courtyard.

This time Wenxiang performed outstandingly in the examination. Through his father's persuasion, he did not follow the old practice to go to the Hanlin Academy, but entered the Ministry of Industry and became a member of the Ministry of Industry from the sixth rank.In fact, it was not only because of his father, but also because of his elder sister in the palace, the Guerjia family, who had just been conferred a concubine some time ago, and Wenxiang's family was at a very popular time.

Apart from sealing the harem after the end of the year, there are only two people who have been promoted this time. Apart from the Guerjia family, the other is the eighth elder brother's biological mother, who is also a new concubine.When Wen Xiang's family held a banquet, Lin Ji was in his filial piety, so he didn't go to the banquet, but only ordered Lin Dong to send a heavy gift.

"What are your plans for going to the capital this time?" Wen Xiang knew that Lin Ji's three-year filial piety period had passed, and now more than half a year had passed, and two and a half years remained.Counting the time, when Lin Ji is ready to become an official, there will be another round of new Jinshi who come from the imperial examination waiting to be divided into positions.And if Lin Ji waited until those freshly released Jinshi were ready to take office before planning, it would be difficult to find a good position at that time. "If you say that you are a bit unlucky, if you can wait for the official position to be settled before worrying about Ding, at least you don't have to worry so much."

"Come on, which eye of yours is worried when you see me? Could it be that you have an eye disease and your eyes are not working well?" Lin Ji knew Wen Xiang very well, and knew that he was sometimes mean-spirited, so he snapped back unceremoniously. "What about you? After all, you are a member of the Ministry of Industry, right? How does it feel to be promoted to the third rank?"

The number one scholar, Wang Yi, has already entered the Hanlin Academy as a sixth-rank editor. People in the same discipline have also been awarded official positions one after another, and they have taken up their posts one after another.Originally, Wenxiang selected Shu Jishi, and those who disbanded the museum as editors should start slowly from the nine-rank sesame official.However, most of his family members were from martial arts, and Wen Xiang's father didn't want his son to go to the Imperial Academy to earn his qualifications, so he simply resorted to tricks and got him to the Ministry of Industry.

"Just a small sesame official, with an annual salary of only 60 taels, which is not enough for me to invite you to a restaurant. You don't even know how miserable I am now. I have to drive half of the imperial city every day to go to the government office to answer questions. Mao." Wen Xiang sighed, it was a hard time to rest today, but he still got up when the cock crowed, "Poor me, I wake up in the middle of the night now, and I feel sleepy every day. I really envy you, you can still be free Live comfortably for three years."

This is not a lie, Guarjia Wenxiang is really envious of Lin Ji.He is only a 16-year-old boy, ignorant of official affairs, but he has stepped into the center of power. Although he is still on the edge, he is easily swept away by the tail of the typhoon.It is not easy to be an official in the court. He is a young boy, and the colleagues around him are much older than him. Some people will give him a bad look, and some will even stab him in the back.

If it weren't for the Guarjia family's large and powerful family, and his family also has old relatives in the Ministry of Industry, Wen Xiang would have been eaten by those old fried dough sticks, how could he be here with Lin Ji.

Lin Ji patted him on the shoulder to express his understanding.In fact, Lin Ji sometimes feels lucky. After all, he will definitely be better than now when he joins the job three years later.Moreover, Lin Ruhai might be in the capital after three years. With his back against a big tree, he would definitely be able to enjoy the shade better. He has been looking forward to his father's return to Beijing.

"Mengran is not bad. Although assigned to a place, there is still room for development. Unlike me, I seem to be able to see my life in the next 20 years." It's scary to think about being overwhelmed by copywriting, and then become as old and philistine as one's boss.

Xu Mengran was assigned to the Experience Department of the Jiangnan Chief Envoy to take up the post of capital affairs. Although he was a low-ranking official, he was close to Jiangsu, so it was convenient for Xu's family to take care of him.Local officials don't need to be officials in the capital, and there is a lot of room for advancement. As long as they do practical things and have skills, they can easily climb up.

"This time is also a coincidence. If it didn't happen to be a big change in the imperial court, where would these good positions come from?" To be honest, most of the people with serious imperial examination backgrounds were arranged to work in the Imperial Academy, or to work in the teaching institutes in various places. Positions like these that have the opportunity to practice are generally available only after training. "Actually, I am also a little worried. There are many droughts in the north this year, and floods in the south and drought in the north are not a good phenomenon."

While talking, the two entered the living room under the leadership of the housekeeper.There were already two visitors in the hall, one of them was Zhang Tingyu, and the other looked very familiar, but Lin Ji couldn't remember his name for a while.

The two met Mr. Gao, and under his recommendation, they learned the identities of the two visitors.

"I've heard about the reputation of Xinke Tanhualang for a long time. I'm lucky to meet you today. I hope we can learn from each other and help each other." Chen Xuan bent down and bowed his hands to salute. He is the nephew of Chen Yanjing, a cabinet scholar, and he followed Zhang Tingyu to meet Gao My lord, in fact, I am asking for advice.

Naturally, Lin Ji intended to make friends with these two people, not to mention Zhang Tingyu, a well-known important minister of the three dynasties, he had intended to make friends with them.The other Chen Xuan should not be underestimated. His uncle Chen Tingjing and Zhang Tingyu's father Zhang Ying stood side by side in the court hall. There is a Ministry of Rites and a Ministry of Officials. They are representatives of Hanchen.

Moreover, both Zhang Tingyu and Chen Xuan came from a wealthy family, and the forces behind them are intricate. Now that they are both fledglings, it is a good time to make friends.

"It's Ji's honor to thank Brother Chen." Lin Ji returned the salute respectfully, not daring to slack off in the slightest.Chen Xuan was obviously much more lively than Zhang Tingyu, so he pulled Lin Ji to talk about Jiangnan style.And Zhang Tingyu asked Mr. Gao for advice with Wen Xiang in a serious manner.

Lin Daiyu also received a warm welcome in the inner courtyard. Gao's mother is old, and she loves little girls more than ever, especially a little girl like Lin Daiyu who is carved with pink and jade, she feels happy when she looks at it.After Lin Daiyu saw the ceremony, Mrs. Gao pulled her over and took off the mutton fat white jade bracelet in her hand and was about to put it on Lin Daiyu's hand, which shocked Daiyu.

This is too enthusiastic, right? !

Trapped in Mrs. Gao's arms, she rubbed her and asked many questions, wishing to count all the things Lin Daiyu did every day.Lin Daiyu was obviously a little overwhelmed, and she was directly surrounded.

Gao Qiao on the side looked at her great-grandmother who was rubbing Lin Daiyu speechlessly, and pulled Lin Daiyu helplessly, "Zuzu, I took Yu'er to play in my yard." Follow people out.

Now the Gao family only has Gao Qiao as a junior, so naturally he is extremely favored.She acted like this, but no one said anything, Xiao Zhang and Mengshi who were sitting beside them looked at each other and smiled, and chatted with Gao's mother for a while, and they both left together.Xiao Zhang and Gao Shiqi's eldest son, Gao Yi, belonged to childhood sweethearts. After they got married, they only had one child, Gao Qiao.Montessori and Qualcomm are now in harmony, and the only regret is that they have no children.

Montessori almost loves Gao Qiao as his own child.

The man from the Gao family is arrogant and lonely, so he naturally disdains such divas and concubines.Gao's mother is old and doesn't like to make troubles, so she doesn't interfere with the children's affairs in the yard.The atmosphere in the Gao family is extremely harmonious, with brothers and sisters-in-law discussing and discussing, and life is peaceful and steady.

Lin Daiyu was dragged out of Gao's mother's yard by Gao Qiao, walked through the corridor at the back, and came to Gao Qiao's yard.It is now the end of autumn, and the weather is getting cooler. Gao Qiao's yard has planted a few sweet-scented osmanthus, and the yard is full of fragrance.And there are roses in full bloom among the flowers, the red, white and yellow complement each other, which is very beautiful.

"Come on, this is my study, sit down." Gao Qiao pulled him to his boudoir, a study transformed from a small living room, with all kinds of books on the Duobaoge arranged casually, and the desk There are a few exquisite meticulous paintings scattered on the bed, which shows that the master's painting skills are extremely high. "I usually don't let people come in this study, it's kind of messy, don't laugh at me." Gao Qiao poured tea for Lin Daiyu a little embarrassedly.

Lin Daiyu took the tea with a very familiar taste. Knowing that it was herbal tea only available at her brother's place, she knew that her brother was very close to the family, so she relaxed a little, "It's okay, it's fine." She looked around, Look around, very curious.

Daiyu had never been to another girl's boudoir. After Gao Qiao agreed, she flipped through the exquisite meticulous paintings on the table.Lin Daiyu praised sincerely: "Sister Gao, you draw really well!" When it was time to use it, Lin Daiyu felt that her vocabulary was limited, and she could only describe her surprise in dry words.

"Haha, is that right? I copied this painting from Brother Antai, and I'll show you." Gao Qiao took out a heavy picture album from his treasure chest, all of which were printed on jade plates, bound into a volume, Each one is so beautiful that it can be taken out for exhibition.

Lin Daiyu touched these paintings in amazement, she couldn't imagine that there is such a unique brushwork in this world, and she can draw such exquisite works. "Is it really my brother's painting? No wonder there are rumors outside that Mr. Chen also praised my brother's painting."

Gao Qiao looked at the stunned Daiyu with some amusement, "What's the matter, Brother Antai said, it's just a small trick. Sister Yu, although my grandfather is Brother Antai's master, but if we don't get along with each other, that's the only thing that matters." , I can communicate with you as equals. Brother Antai's younger sister is my younger sister. If you come here often in the future, the two of us will definitely get along well."

Looking at the smiling Gao Qiao, Lin Daiyu nodded solemnly, "Well, then I'll call you Sister Qiao." She looked at Gao Qiao with some embarrassment, took her hand and shook it, "Sister, how about just Take this as a meeting gift and give it to me." She pointed to Gao Qiao's finished painting and said, she didn't dare to think about her brother's one, and she knew it was her favorite thing from the way Gao Qiao cherished it , A gentleman cannot take what others like.

"No, you can ask Brother Antai for it. He drew a copy for my grandfather before, and the other one should be in his own hands. Just ask him to give it to you. This is also a gift from my grandfather." Gao Qiao recalled that time I found it funny, "I heard from him at the beginning that it was to be kept for his future wife, hahaha!"

Gao Qiao's laughter stunned Lin Daiyu, and then she laughed too.It's funny to think that my young and mature brother is so cute when I think about it.

The author has something to say: the order meeting has finally come to an end. After today's summary meeting, the whole person is relaxed.
