On the 6th, the day after the results of the imperial examination came out, the new scholars went to the Imperial College to receive the imperial robes, locust robes, and ceremonial robes.

On the seventh day, the new scholars paid homage to the emperor in Fengtian Hall, and then paraded through the streets on horseback.

It is said that it is a parade on horseback, but in fact only the number one scholar can ride a horse, and the new scholars can only follow behind and parade along the streets with the officials of the Ministry of Rites holding up the gold medal, and accept the onlookers of the people.

Tens of thousands of people in the capital chased and cheered along the streets. At the restaurants passing by along the way, a young woman held an hydrangea and threw it to the new champion who was riding a horse.

Zhao Lin didn't know how to ride a horse. Although the servant holding the reins of the horse walked very slowly, he was still worried for fear of falling off the horse. He could only look at the hydrangeas falling from the sky and sigh, and did not dare to touch them with his hands.

catch.

Lin Yun saw this and said jokingly: "Brother Zhao, if you fall in love with any girl, I will help you pick up the hydrangeas."

Zhao Lin said awkwardly: "A real man should establish a career first and then start a family."

Lin Yun laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, "This guy looks at other girls' faces all the time, but he just hasn't met a woman that makes him attracted."

By the way, most of the women who come out to throw hydrangeas are brothel prostitutes. The daughters of ordinary people don't have the courage. If merchants want to marry their daughters, they can send their servants to snatch them away and have them go on a blind date in person. There is also an exchange of interests.

Officials are even more direct. If they choose a new scholar, they will directly go to the matchmaker to propose marriage. There is no need to ask their daughter to throw embroidery balls.

…

On the eighth day, the emperor decreed a banquet, which was called the Enrong Banquet or the Qionglin Banquet.

Next, the new scholars learned the etiquette of going to court at Honglu Temple. After that, they went to the Imperial Academy to visit the Confucius Temple, and then changed into official uniforms and became officials.

At this time, almost all of the new Jinshi scholars have the ideal of governing the country and peace of the world, but they don't know that passing the Jinshi exam only gives them a ticket to officialdom, and there are many difficulties and obstacles waiting for them later.

To overcome them one by one.

All the glory will become a thing of the past as they wear official uniforms. Next, they will start a new chapter in their lives.

…

On March 18, Yue Tai and Wang Ziteng jointly sent a successful report. The Western Expeditionary Army defeated the Mongolian army in Xining and Songpan, beheaded more than 10,000 people, and captured alive dozens of rebel generals under Alatanbu, who proclaimed himself the Mongolian Khan.

After Lin Yun heard the news, the huge stone weighing on his heart was finally lifted.

If the war in the northwest ends perfectly, the financial pressure on the court will be greatly reduced, and the local people will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

After Emperor De convened some big shots from the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department to discuss, he appointed Yue Tai as the Commander-in-Chief of the Six Northwest Provinces, and Meng Yizi as Yunqi Wei.

Prince Teng was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, Chief Minister of Military Machinery, and was granted the title of Grand Sima.

After Lin Yun heard about this appointment, he knew that Prince Teng had been secretly promoted by the emperor and lost his military power.

I learned from Ning Heng that his old man Ning Cheng had gone to the northwest and was preparing to take over the troops under Prince Teng's command.

During this period, the Ministry of War also issued an order to disband the troops in the Beijing camp, leaving only 25,000 soldiers.

However, these have nothing to do with Lin Yun. He, Zhao Lin, Tang Shiwei, Wen Yingxing, and Guan Xinyan entered the Hanlin Academy to serve.

Zhao Lin was compiled by the Hanlin Academy, from the sixth level, Tang Shiwei, Wen Yingxing, and Guan Xinyan were all edited by the Hanlin Academy, from the seventh level.

Lin Yun was also from the sixth grade, but he was neither a editor nor a editor. His duties in the Hanlin Academy were like doing odd jobs. He usually helped draft some edicts. When the emperor was free, he would also send his servants to call him for a chat.

.

Although these days were leisurely, Lin Yun was very depressed. He couldn't guess what Emperor Zhide was thinking. Was he training him? Or was he testing him?

Although he longed to leave the Hanlin Academy and work as an official abroad, Lin Yun still pretended to be very satisfied and invited some friends to Jinxiangyuan for drinks every now and then.

Shangguanjie was an intern at the Ministry of War as a political intern. Since he ranked high in the imperial examination, he would probably be retained as a chief executive in the Ministry of War after his period of political observation was over.

Du Shaoxuan was overseeing politics at the Ministry of Industry. His chances of being retained were slim. If he wanted to serve as county magistrate, he would have to find someone to connect with. Otherwise, he might not be able to get his turn after three to five years.

…

At noon on the 25th, as soon as Lin Yun returned to the mansion, the servant guarding the door reported to him that his father and the old miracle doctor had arrived.

Lin Yun hurried back to the inner house to meet each other. When he entered the room, he saw Jia Min, Qin Keqing and Daiyu chatting with the two old men.

Lin Yun hurried forward to greet him. After greetings, he asked the old miracle doctor: "Old man, why didn't you bring the old lady to the capital?"

The old miracle doctor shook his head and said: "Madam is used to staying in Jiangnan and doesn't like to travel far. I will go back to Yangzhou after Ke'er gives birth."

Lin Yun remembered and said, "Old man, have you checked Keqing's body?"

The old miracle doctor said: "Don't worry, I'm here to take care of you, mother and son are safe."

Qin Keqing said happily: "Thank you, old miracle doctor."

"You're welcome."

At this time, Ping'er walked in from outside the door and reported to Qin Keqing: "Grandma, the room has been decorated. Do you want to invite the master and the old miracle doctor to come and have a look? If there is anything unsatisfactory, the slave can be replaced."

The old miracle doctor stood up, smiled at Lin Heng and said, "Brother, let's go over and have a look?"

"OK."

Lin Yun hurriedly stood up and said, "I will accompany you there."

Daiyu hurriedly stopped him, "Brother, please wait, I have something to say to you."

The old miracle doctor: "Boy Yun, come over later and have a few drinks with me and my father."

"OK."

…

The summer sun shines on the treetops, and the green shade covers the bluestone paths.

Daiyu waved a small embroidered fan in her right hand and said as she walked: "Brother, do you know that Sister Xiangyun was left behind by our ancestors?"

Lin Yun: "This is a good thing. Haven't you always wanted Sister Yun to stay?"

Daiyu: "My brother asked me to persuade my mother to accept Sister Yun as my goddaughter last time. I told my mother."

Lin Yun hurriedly asked: "What did my aunt say?"

"My mother said that this matter is difficult to handle. First of all, I have to ask sister Xiangyun if she is willing, and secondly, she must ask her uncles and aunts for their opinions."

"I have simplified things. Let's wait until later."

Daiyu: "One more thing. It's sister Tanchun's birthday in a few days. Brother, can you accompany me to Rongguo Mansion?"

Lin Yun: "Isn't it appropriate for me to go? I didn't go to Sister Baochai's birthday last time."

Daiyu: "Last time you were delayed in taking the exam, how could Sister Bao blame you?"

Lin Yun: "Let's do this. I will give Sister Tanchun a birthday cake for you to take over."

Daiyu asked with confusion on her face: "Brother, why don't you want to go to Rongguo Mansion?"

Lin Yun said hurriedly: "It's not that I don't want to go. You also know that I have just entered the Hanlin Academy and am unfamiliar with the place. Asking for leave at will will not be good."

"All right."

Daiyu saw that the reason he proposed was legitimate, so she stopped pestering him.

Then, she handed the round fan to her left hand, took out a violet embroidered pouch with her right hand, put it into Lin Yun's hand and said: "Brother won the third prize in the imperial examination last time, I didn't give you a congratulatory gift, this time

I’ll make it up for you.”

After Daiyu finished speaking, before Lin Yun could speak, she turned around and ran away in a hurry.
