Sister Xue of the Red Chamber

Lin Heyu Qin bestowed the old friend who went to the Baohe Hall to try out the flowers

Let's talk about the birthday gift that Baoxuan prepared for Daiyu.

On the day of Lantern Festival, Baoxuan and Qianlong talked about looking for his friend Wang Yuming from his previous life.Qianlong has been busy for a long time since he ascended the throne, and he wanted to inquire about it when he was free, but he didn't have a clue.Baoxuan had already had a thought in his mind, even though she is the eldest princess, there are some things that she can't interfere with.He only said that he first ordered someone to go to the Ministry of Households to get the household registration book, and carefully read the people related to Jia's family, and maybe he could gain something.

The two watched for a while, and Qianlong asked anxiously, "What clues can you see?"

Bao Xuan laughed, "Why are you in such a hurry? This clue is already obtained, why can't Brother Huang see it?"

"Oh, I don't know as much as you. If I knew today, I would have read "Red Mansion" a hundred times!" Qianlong waved his hands and sighed.

"I just said why didn't the emperor see it. He didn't understand "Red Mansion"!" Baoxuan teased, took another household registration book and opened it, "Emperor brother, let's look at the Lin family. Anyone who has seen "Red Mansion" Who knows that Lin Daiyu went to the capital alone after the death of her mother. After Lin Ruhai died, she became an orphan and was bullied in Jia's house."

Qianlong took the book, "This Lin Ruhai...has two sons and a daughter? His wife was originally a second-rank official, and she was also listed when she died. I have also read the book. Could it be that Wang Yuming was reincarnated as Lin Ruhai's son? I just don't know which one it is... Now that Lin Ruhai has a son and a daughter, I'm afraid he won't let them go to Beijing, so it's not easy for us to test..."

Bao Xuan said with a smile: "If you say it's fate, the three of them went to Beijing last year. It's just that they were still observing filial piety at that time, and everything was inconvenient. I only saw Daiyu and Xuanyu. Xuanyu was still young, so I didn't The governor should not be that friend of the emperor's brother."

"Have you seen it?"

Baoxuan then told about the Lin family brothers and sisters going to Beijing.

Qianlong thought that Lin Heyu might be a good friend in his previous life, and also meant to help the Lin family brothers and sisters, so he and Baoxuan came up with an idea to celebrate Lin Daiyu's birthday.

"Excellent, excellent!" Baoxuan was very happy, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Baoxuan has thought of a birthday gift, and I have to ask the emperor for a copy of the imperial edict. This is the most suitable gift, even the emperor Say hello!"

"Tell me."

"Father told Lin Heyu that day that it was because of Beijing, but Lin Ruhai actually ordered Heyu to participate in this year's Enke! I think it was an excuse, after all, he only passed the filial piety in the first month of the year, so he must have missed the provincial examination last year." Yes. The test will be next month, and this subject must be missed. It’s better for the emperor to think of a name and give him the status of Juren, so that he can have a try. If he is lucky enough to become a tribute, he will go to the palace test. At this time, Brother Huang can test it out!"

Therefore, when Daiyu returned to Rongguo Mansion that day, Jia Dakong came to announce the decree.From the fact that Lin Ruhai, the second-rank patrolling salt censor, was a clean and diligent official, it was recently heard that his son Heyu failed to participate in the provincial examination because of his filial piety.Opening Enke this year was originally for the blessing of scholars in the world.Lin's Heyu is pure and filial, and he bestows the status of Juren. I hope that he will win the spring and live up to my expectations!

Daiyu was overjoyed, but Heyu was quite helpless.

There are three spring games, held on the ninth, [-]th and [-]th day of February.Those who pass the exam are called Gongshi, and the head is called Huiyuan.The twelfth day of February is Daiyu's birthday, but I can't be with Daiyu anymore.And I originally thought that I would have to wait until next August to take the provincial examination. Although I am not unprepared now, I still need to work harder.

Helpless, I just told Xuanyu to take good care of her sister, and went to study alone.

On the other hand, Mrs. Wang and Baochai had a lot of haggling.

One of the great regrets of Mrs. Wang's life is that she doesn't have a serious order.Seeing that Jia Zheng has been sitting in the position of a fifth-rank member, Wailang, for decades, he only wants to rely on his son to be a wife.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhu was so weak that she didn't enter school until she was fourteen, and she went before the provincial examination!Baoyu has no fame so far.Although the master said that when Baoyu is older, he will be imprisoned for him, but the Lin family boy is a juror!There is no need for the rural examination anymore, and I went straight to the general examination.No matter Baoyu or not, even if Zhu'er was able to pass the test back then, she was not the number one scholar, but should have been ranked first.Didn't he already become an old lord?

Although Baochai was expelled from Xue's house by Xue Tianxiang, she complained in her heart that Wang's affairs were not clean enough.

When they saw Xiu Xin go to investigate the cook in the mansion, both mother and daughter thought that Xiu Xin couldn't stay.It's just that "can't stay" is also different.Wang's only way is to drive Xiuxin out of the mansion, since the two of them are in charge of this mansion, who would dare not follow?Xiuxin was kicked out, but no one dared to help her, she died of illness and starvation or went away, so she was allowed to go.Baochai is ruthless, unwilling to leave future troubles in everything, and bluntly says that she will poison Xiuxin to death.

The Wang family didn't know that he had obtained the evidence for cultivating his mind, so he finally persuaded Baochai to leave.Unexpectedly, the skynet is restored, and it is always neglected!

As soon as Baochai arrived at Rongguo Mansion, he took a big lead from Jia Mu, but gradually extinguished his thoughts of leaning on Rongguo Mansion.Thinking about it again, my father is a first-class loyal and filial father, and my sister is the eldest princess. With my character and appearance, I may not be able to be a princess!The most urgent task is to rebuild the old relationship with Xue's family!

Hearing the phrase "go to the eldest princess's mansion" early in the morning, I wished I could get on the carriage immediately.But Sister Feng was so ashamed with her few words, she wished that all the people in that group would be reprimanded by Baoxuan!Who would have thought that the Lin family would be so respectable in the evening, aside from bringing back a bunch of presents in the afternoon.He hated and poisoned Lin Daiyu even more.

On the first day of March, the list will be released.

Daiyu and Heyu wait anxiously in Lixiangyuan together.When He Yu saw her, she didn't laugh at her, but said that she had ordered someone to wait outside the tribute courtyard, and if there was any news, she would report it.

Not long after, I saw the servant beside He Yu rushing in, washing the ink.

"Master... Congratulations, Mr., you won!"

Daiyu didn't care about her manners for a while, and asked quickly: "You can see, how many names have you won?"

Washing the ink with a dejected look on his face, "The gate of the Gongyuan was crowded with people who read the list. The little one was at the front, but when the person who posted the list came, he was pushed to the back. I only saw 'Gusu, Lin He Yu', the ranking should be in the front, so I didn't see anything else. The little one was anxious to report, so he ran back first, and Mo Shu was still crowded there!" Mo Shu is another servant of Lin Heyu.

At noon, Mo Shu hadn't returned to the mansion yet, but the official announcer arrived first.

A total of 320 four people were selected for this test, and He Yu won the No. 20 five, which is also considered to be in the top.There is no need to think about the first one, and the second one is still easy to do.So in the evening, following Wen Shu's name, he pushed Jiamu's banquet, only quietly set up a table in Lixiangyuan, picked up Xuanyu from the back door, and happily used it with Daiyu.

Gongshi participated in the palace examination, and none of them failed the rankings. They were only divided into first, second and third best.The top three in the first class will be awarded Jinshi and rank.The first name is the champion, the second is the second place, and the third is the third.Eighty in the second class, given the background of Jinshi.The rest are all top three, given the same background as Jinshi.

There is a saying, "Same Jinshi, like a wife", who would want to be a top three if they can get a second class?

Furthermore, Huang Sunmao, last year's No. [-] scholar, was appointed as the same examiner in the Shuntianfu Township Examination not long after he was awarded the editorship of the Imperial Academy. What a grace!This subject is the top Enke. Usually, if Enke is born, he can always be promoted faster than others.If you get a good ranking, you will have a great future!

So everyone is trying their best.

On March [-]th, the Palace of Preservation and Palace Examination.Candidates enter at dawn, roll their names, unroll papers, praise, salute, and then issue test questions.The test question is Current Affairs Policy One, which is five or six hundred characters long, and is appointed by the emperor.

He Yu settled down, and before he could open the question, he could only hear the sound of gasping around him.It was only after a servant shouted "Quiet" that he fell silent.

He Yu knew what everyone was thinking after reading the title.He couldn't help laughing secretly, the Emperor Qianlong probably came with him, just look at the title of this policy.

It turns out that this policy topic is different from previous years, only two words are not mentioned, and some scholars probably don't know what it is.I saw only the word "opium" written on the huge question booklet.

He Yu knew the dangers of opium.And when I was three years old, my father took me to read the newspaper in the study, and I heard my father sigh a few words.When I talked about opium, I couldn't help being curious, so I found the mansion and reported it.

"According to the case of selling opium and buying prohibited items, the shackles will be issued for a month, and the border guards will be sent to the army. If anyone who opens an opium den privately and seduces the children of a good family will be hanged in accordance with the law of cults and deceiving the public, he will be sentenced to a hundred sticks and be exiled." For three thousand miles, the boat owners, dibao, neighbors, etc. all have one hundred sticks, and they will be imprisoned for two years. For example, the registration of military servicemen and others needs to be claimed, and the stolen goods will be punished according to the law. Customs supervision will be handed over to the Ministry for strict discussion."

Fang knew that as early as the seventh year of Yongzheng, it was ordered to prohibit the sale of opium, the prohibition of privately opening opium dens, and the prohibition of luring others to smoke opium.

Seeing that my "citizens" are so concerned about this matter, I am very happy, and it aroused my blood for a while.Eloquently, he wrote a full sheet.

The palace examination is only for one day, and the papers will be handed in at dusk.When the counting was done, Qianlong didn't ask to back down, but said slowly: "A few days ago, I had a good match with the eldest princess. There are a few very good sentences. Listen to them, what is the good point?"

Everyone is busy.

"This Shanglian is," Qianlong said in a deep voice.

The academicians and ministers of various ministries on the side praised "this sentence is wonderful" and "the most expressive".Qianlong also listened to it. This sentence was originally agreed with Baoxuan.Because his original name was Zhang Qichao in his previous life, Wang Yuming recited many poems by Liang Qichao to tease himself.After thousands of choices, I found such a sentence that is the most suitable pair.

Lin Heyu, also known as Wang Yuming, was shocked when he heard this.When he came back to his senses, there were already people on the side line, you said something, I said something, the ministers saw that Qianlong didn't seem satisfied, but they also suppressed the idea of ​​trying it for themselves.

Lin Heyu hurriedly came out, although it was unlikely, but still had to be careful, it would be bad if someone was really talented.

He Yu made a salute, "Back to the emperor, there is a long row of Xiuyan smoke, warm and green, like flowing."

"Good! Very good!" Qianlong said happily.

Later in Jia's house, Daiyu asked again and again, but Heyu didn't say much, only said that the writing was very smooth.But I understand in my heart that this time, because of my age, I will not be able to reach the first class, and it should be in the top of the second class.

Sure enough, when the rankings were announced, the young servants of the Lin family went to see them, and saw the number one scholar Yu Minzhong from Changzhou, the second place Lin Zhichun from Fuzhou, and Lin Heyu from Gusu.
