The old lady looked at Lu Ze in front of her and lamented that this son seemed to be leaping over the dragon's gate after arriving in Bianjing City. Compared with how he treated others before, he was totally different.
His behavior was nothing like that of Sheng Hong who was submissive in front of her.
"Now that your official career is prosperous, you should be more careful."
"It's okay to go to a place like Guangyuntai occasionally, but don't really ask Yushitai to take a copy of it."
Lu Ze coughed twice, looking slightly helpless.
The old lady, who was born in a general's palace, has no good impression of those so-called fireworks places.
When the old man Xinke was looking for a beauty, he was still frustrated by being controlled after marriage. This was also the reason why the couple often had conflicts later. The gap between the ideal marriage and the actual marriage was really too big.
"Isn't Changbai going to have his imperial examination at the end of the month?"
The old lady also knew that it was not appropriate to talk about the topic to her son, so she changed the topic to the imperial examination.
Lu Ze nodded slightly.
"It will be at the end of the month."
"This time the Spring Festival has been postponed a bit, and the officials don't want to postpone the imperial examination again."
The Imperial Examination is the highest level examination among the imperial examinations. Its purpose is to rank those who pass the imperial examination.
In layman's terms, it means the big boss personally checks the quality of the new employees who have just entered the company, and tests whether any of these people have fished in troubled waters.
Taizu once said.
"Most of those who wish to succeed in the imperial examination and rank are chosen by powerful people, and it is useless to block the lonely road. Now I personally come to test whether I can advance or retreat, and eliminate the disadvantages of those who have changed their status."
All scholars who ascended the throne were called disciples of the emperor.
At that time, Mrs. Sheng stood out in the imperial examination. Riding a white horse with a red flower on its chest, Tanhua Lang was proud of his horse and became a beautiful sight in Bianjing City. He received countless admiring applause, looks and smiles from women. red cheeks.
The old lady was so attracted back then, and later decided to marry into this prosperous mansion despite her family's objections.
In the Shou'an Hall, the old lady's eyes flickered, as if she was remembering all that happened back then.
The corners of her mouth were raised slightly, but there was a very mocking look on her face, as if she was laughing at her silly self.
"Time... flies so fast."
...
At the end of the month, the palace examination kicked off.
Changbai was finally elected as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, stayed in the academy to teach as an editor, and took office the next month.
Along with this great news, Changbai's marriage was finalized. The old lady finally fell in love with Hai Chaoyun, the second daughter of the head of the Hai family in Jiangning. She came from a scholarly family and was full of nobles. Both her father and brother were officials in the court. .
In the past, the Sheng family was often called the Qingliu family. In fact, the Hai family was the real Qingliu family.
Starting from our ancestors, we have always been clean.
"My father, Bai, did so well in the exam. Why can't he be sent to work as an official? Instead, he wants to take up a post in the miserable place of the Hanlin Academy." Not only did Wang Ruofu not appear happy, but he even cried to Lu Ze: "Official Didn't you help Bai'er look up and down?"
Lu Ze pinched his frowning brows with his hands and sighed slightly, feeling that the lady was indeed stupid.
No wonder the eldest lady was at a disadvantage every time she fought with Lin Sushuang. ….
From the imperial examination to the Hanlin, and from the Hanlin to the court, it is the life ideal of all scholars. This is the fundamental expression of "Advancing and benefiting the world" in Confucianism.
Now, listening to what the eldest lady is saying, it feels like Changbai is about to suffer.
"Oh my god, that's the Hanlin Academy, that's not the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"
"Many of the chief assistants of the grand masters in my dynasty came from the Hanlin Academy. If Changbai really went out to serve as an official, how long would it take him to come to Bianjing? You idiot!"
Lu Ze couldn't help but cursed a few curse words.
The cry of Wang Ruofu next to her gradually became weaker. She only knew that Hanlin bachelors were poor, but she didn't know what this hardship meant. However,
Officials have a clear understanding of the official career, so Wang Ruofu said no more.
However, there was another thing that worried her even more.
Her voice became even more forlorn.
"That's all, we women really don't understand."
"But after all, Brother Bai came out of my belly, right? I can always make the decision on the matter of marrying my daughter-in-law, right? Officer, you handed over the matter to the old lady of Shouantang without saying a word. I, a mother, actually I just found out whose daughter my daughter-in-law is."

"What's so bad about Yuner? She's well-educated and fair-looking. She and Changbai are cousins, so everyone knows her."
Lu Ze was too lazy to tell the lady the secret.
Putting aside the ethical relationship of this cousin's marriage, after all, it is still common in this era, but who is that Aunt Kang? Does Lu Ze know clearly that her daughter still wants to marry my father-in-law?
Lu Ze directly passed the blame to the old lady.
The old lady listened to the eldest lady's cry and said directly: "You know what the situation of the Kang family is. Although you are related to my family by marriage, it is not as important as Brother Bai's future."
"To put it bluntly, no matter how close a sister is, she can never be close to a son. Do you and your sister have such a good relationship?"
The sharp gaze of the old lady made the eldest lady feel slightly guilty.
In fact, her relationship with her sister was not good at all. It was just that the Sheng family had gradually grown in power over the years, and her sister in the Kang family often wrote to her, and she felt very comfortable with the flattery.
"I am also a mother-in-law. I know what the eldest lady is thinking. I am just afraid that the Hai family will be too powerful to suppress my daughter-in-law in the future."
The old lady said a lot, but her meaning was very simple.
Madam, do you want your own comfort, or do you want your son to have a smooth career in the future?
Seeing the eldest lady leaving in a hurry, the old lady shook her head. Suddenly she felt the curtain behind her move slightly. The old lady said without looking back: "You little hozen, come out quickly."
I saw Minglan rubbing her slightly confused eyes, and after waking up, she ran to the Arhat's bed with a smile.
"Grandma, am I going to have a sister-in-law?"
Old Mrs. Sheng rolled her eyes at Minglan, touched her glossy black hair, nodded and said, "It's not that I'm a meddlesome man. You want me to take care of everything in the house. I'm naturally angry. My mother can't interfere in my son's marriage."
Minglan replied with a smile: "It's not because dad knows grandma's abilities that he entrusts important family matters to her."
The old lady looked at the smart granddaughter in front of her who had lost her innocence, with indescribable doting in her eyes. After Ming Yatou came to Shou'an Hall, she felt that the smile on her face gradually became more.
"Now my Sheng family seems to have taken root in Bianjing City."
"Brother Bai entered the Imperial Academy, which is extremely noble. Your father was promoted to the fifth rank of Zongzheng Shaoqing, and Hua Lan also married into the Earl's Palace."
"As long as there are no major changes, things will be good for my family in the future."
Bu Xiang is having fun
