Chapter 47 Interview
Although Lin Yanchao was wearing a long gown that Qianqian had just made for him, the fabric was not very expensive. The man of Zhai was inevitably somewhat of a sense of being more attractive to people.
"You want to go to the academy to study?" Zhaifu looked up and down at Lin Yanchao.
Lin Yanchao said: "That's right."
The other party asked again: "Your surname is Lin, so are you a child of the Lianpu Lin family?"
"no."
"No? Then someone in your house is an official in the court?"
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "That's right."
Zhaifu looked relieved and said, "It turns out that he is a descendant of the official, who is disrespectful and disrespectful. He dares to ask what position he holds in the official position. It is not a prudent investigation, but I always have to record it and report it to the Shanchang Nakagawa to know."
Lin Yanchao said understandingly: "Of course, my grandfather is the ambassador of the local river station."
The Zhaifu looked stiff and said, "What kind of rank is the ambassador of the River Pond?"
"Miscellaneous jobs, not in the right place."
After hearing this, Zhaifu couldn't help but laugh and asked, "The only thing is that you have a wealthy family? But it doesn't look like you."
"Before my grandfather became the ambassador of the Hepo Station, his family was barely fed and fed." Lin Yanchao replied truthfully.
Zhaifu nodded and looked carefully at Lin Yanchao's recommendation letter for the third time.
Lin Yanchao said, "Dare you dare to ask if I can still study in academy?"
At this moment, Zhaifu said: "The ambassador of the Hepo Institute is nothing, you are almost a poor family. Logically speaking, the academy will not include poor families, but unless you have a good academic performance or a clan elder who has written a book for you."
Lin Yanchao looked at the book of recommendation in his hand and asked, "But is my book of recommendation okay?"
Zhaifu said, "I was surprised. As a poor family, you are qualified to let the old Shangshu write a book of recommendation for you personally. I really don't understand!"
Old Shangshu's husband???
Before Lin Yanchao came, he carefully investigated the details of the Lin family of Lianpu. The Lin family of Lianpu gave birth to four ministers. In addition to the two who were already dead, two of them were alive.
One is Lin Tingji, the former Minister of Rites of Nanjing, who is now resigned at home, and the other is Lin Xuan, the current Minister of Works of Nanjing. Lin Xuan is currently in Nanjing, so it is impossible for him to write a letter to recommend him.
So Lin Tingji could only rest at home. Lin Tingji served as the priest of the Imperial College in Nanjing, Taichangqing, and the Minister of Works of Nanjing. Finally, he was promoted to the Minister of Rites of Nanjing. Later, because of his son Lin Feng, he was promoted to the Right Minister of Rites of Beijing and the Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he retired early in order to avoid suspicion.
Lin Yanchao couldn't figure it out, but I thought I could only admire Lin Chengyi for being too powerful. He said that he asked the clan elder to study in Lianjiang Academy, but he didn't expect that he had asked Lin Tingji for his request. His thighs were too thick.
Just as Lin Yanchao was complacent, the zhaifu spread the letter paper to the table and said, "But the old minister just said in the letter that he would give you a chance to interview in the academy, but he didn't say he wanted to admit you."
"What's the meaning?"
Zhaifu laughed twice and said, "In other words, although you missed the registration time, I will sign up for you in the face of the old minister. However, whether you can pass the employment exam in three days depends on your own ability. Otherwise, outsiders would think that anybody in Lianjiang Academy can come in to study."
In the end, I still have to take the exam, but that's fine, at least Lin Chengyi gave him at least one chance to take the exam.
At that moment, Zhaifu took the pen and ink and said to Lin Yanchao: "Write down your name, origin, age, age, age, age, age, reading scriptures, what books have you read, and what scriptures you have cured. In the next three days, I will take you the most proud article. By the way, I must attach a question to the speaker. If you don’t understand what question is, I will tell you later. After writing, I will take you to have a meal and find a room in the village to live in first."
Lin Yanchao asked while writing, "I dare to ask what will happen to me in three days?"
"You care so much, our Lianjiang Academy also has its own rules for collecting students. In short, if you have talent, don't worry. If you don't have talent, don't waste your time."
Lin Yanchao couldn't help but complain.
After writing, Saifu read it and said, "Okay, I'll take you to have a meal first."
The jaisala led Lin Yanchao through the school, came to the cafeteria at the back bedroom, and asked a jaisala, "Is there anything left at noon?"
Nashin said, "There are some dried oyster powder."
"Let's just do it first." After that, Saifu walked out of the door.
Seeing that Lin Yanchao didn't say anything, Shifu immediately scooped a large bowl of dried oyster powder from the bottom of the pot for Lin Yanchao, and then went out to work hard.
Although there was leftover rice, and the flour was dry and there was no soup base, Lin Yanchao was already hungry. He picked up the chopsticks and slapped them into his mouth. Although it was a little cold, it tasted very good. The celery inside tasted just right, and the oysters were very fresh, but if there was a little Lao Ganma, he would be happier.
After a few swearings, half a bowl of flour was dried.
"Eat slowly, the powder will damage the stomach!"
Didn’t Zhaifu come back and persuade him kindly? Lin Yanchao smiled and slowed down and picked up celery to eat. He still felt a little disappointed and asked: “Don’t you have any peppers?”
Chili peppers are also chili peppers, which must have been introduced to China at this time.
Lin Yanchao asked this, and Zhaifu and Shifu shook their heads and said, "I haven't heard it before."
After Lin Yanchao finished eating a bowl, he raised the bowl and said, "Another bowl."
Shinfu shook his head and said, "I have never seen a school child like you."
Lin Yanchao laughed twice, and finally got full and round in his stomach. He only gave up his hands after eating dry food.
After waiting for a long time, Zhaifu looked around and said unhappy: "Let's go!"
Three days later, Lin Yanchao came to Lianjiang Academy again.
It was drizzling. Last night, the autumn rain hit and knocked down many dead leaves on the ground.
There was a layer of moss hanging on the pool in front of the attic. On the steps of the academy, several servants were cleaning, and Lin Yanchao climbed up the steps.
There is a quaint smell everywhere here. The academy was built during the Tang Dynasty. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi came to Fuzhou to give lectures, preach in the academy, and founded Fujian studies.
After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu protected the Song Emperor to land in Fuzhou, using this as a palace and the academy witnessed the afterglow of the setting sun in the Southern Song Dynasty.
After the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty, the country was in power. With the glory of the Lin family, Lianjiang Academy produced eight Jinshi and four Shangshu.
"The Master said: "If you are respectful and rude, you will be labored; if you are cautious and rude, you will be arrogant; if you are brave and rude, you will be chaotic; if you are straight and rude, you will be slandered. If a gentleman is close to his relatives, the people will be benevolent; if you do not leave the old, the people will not steal."
But I saw that the empty building three days ago was full of students.
The sound of Lang Lang reading came, traveling thousands of years, countless scholars once hung their beams and stabbed their legs on the top.
Lin Yanchao stopped outside and couldn't help but feel a little respect in his heart.
When I walked to yesterday's ear room, the japanese man who was receiving me that day, saw Lin Yanchao and said, "I've been waiting for you for a while, come with me!"
"yes."
Lin Yanchao immediately followed Zhaifu around Lin Yanchao and said to the small building: "This is Wenchang Pavilion, where Zhu Zi gave lectures back then."
Then he pointed to the side room and said, "This is the right side, where Zhu Zi lived. He said that the Lang was taking the school entrance exam. You can wait in the side room for a while."
As he said that, Zhaifu walked into the wing room. Lin Yanchao looked around, but saw a stone mortar similar to a brush-washed stone, and the four large characters "Wen Guang Shu Dou" were engraved on the front of the stone railing on the side.
Every scene and every thing here is full of academy and a distant inheritance.
When no one heard of it, Wei Bian Sanshi was a master of study and progress. When the country was in danger, he would go to the army to serve the country. It is said that scholars were the country. When the country was in trouble, scholars like Wen Tianxiang never ran for the country and died in the country.
Since the Song and Ming dynasties, scholars and officials and emperors have shared the world. The country has selected scholars by their imperial examinations. They are the heroic scholars who are as envious as Wang Shouren and Zhang Juzheng. They are our scholars.
Holding an umbrella, it was raining lightly, and the sound of reading echoed in his ears. Lin Yanchao couldn't help but say: "The sound of wind and rain sounded in his ears, and he was concerned about family affairs, national affairs and the world!"
This sound made several students passing by couldn't help but stop.
Lin Yanchao said insincerely that he had stole the famous sayings of Gu Xiancheng, the leader of the Donglin Party.
Lin Yanchao immediately turned around and looked around as if nothing had happened.
Just then, the door of the right wing opened, and the sob sound came from inside, but saw a boy of about the same age as him, walking out.
A scholar in his forties wearing a round neck and rosy collar said to a middle-aged man wearing a silk shirt: "The man is still solid in his foundation, but he still needs to polish it. Go back to study and try it when the spring is coming next year."
The boy cried even more sadly, and the man wearing a silk shirt said, "Thank you, Mr., for your advice."
After saying that, the middle-aged man took the boy away. At this time, the Jaifu pointed at Lin Yanchao and said, "Mr. Lin, this is a student from Hongtang Township."
Lin Yanchao knew that this person was Lin Liao, a tribute chief, who was born in a tribute supervisor, but he saw him wearing jade-colored cloth and silk clothes, wide-sleeved soap edges, and a soft scarf on his head. This is a standard student shirt, which is often worn by the juren and supervisor.
In this era, a scholar may have the level of a master of Chinese studies in later generations.
Lin Yanchao bowed to Lin Liao and said, "Lin Yanchao has met the Lecturer."
