Xicheng.
Outside the Zhang family's residence.
Exquisite carriages parked outside the courtyard, bustling with people.
There are masters wearing the Confucian robes of the Holy Academy, there are also masters wearing the Confucian robes of the Qingshan Academy, and there are even officials wearing the official uniforms of the Hanlin Academy.
Of course, there are also many scholars and neighbors of the Zhang family who are watching the fun.
…
Inside the Zhang family.
"Why did so many adults suddenly come outside? Did Lin Yi and Jiuer get into trouble outside?"
"What should I do?"
In the empty house, Mrs. Zhang saw the dignitaries gathered outside through the crack in the door, and her face turned pale with fright.
Thinking that Lin Yi and Zhang Jiuer were causing trouble outside, they were teaming up to arrest them.
at the same time.
Zhang Jiuer, who had just returned from looking at the results at Huatianfu Academy, walked into the alley and his delicate body trembled with shock.
"so many people?"
"Holy Courtyard, Academy, Hanlin Academy..."
Zhang Jiuer was stunned for a moment, then a smile quickly appeared on his face.
Because Lin Yi is promising.
The rural examination explains the Yuan Dynasty.
Literary arts have also reached the state of transformation.
There will definitely be great achievements in the future.
Zhang Jiuer walked towards the crowded crowd nervously, and whispered timidly: "Please let me go over there!"
"Thanks!"
"Let me... go home!"
She walked through the crowd, and countless people looked at her in confusion.
Mrs. Zhang saw Zhang Jiu'er coming back through the crack in the door, and quickly opened the door and pulled her in.
"Jiu'er, what did you and Lin Yi do? Look outside, you are both an official and a concubine. Are you here to arrest someone?"
Mrs. Zhang asked with a worried look on her face.
"Mom, what did you say?"
Zhang Jiuer explained: "Lin Yi passed the examination in his hometown. He is the candidate for this examination. Those adults outside are here to lure Lin Yu to join their school!"
"Is he so powerful? Then why doesn't he come back?"
Mrs. Zhang was shocked.
Lin Yi was still cramming a few days ago. Can he win the prize casually? Or Jieyuan?
"As soon as he left the examination room, he was picked up by Prince Teng..."
"What? Your Majesty?"
Mrs. Zhang, who had never seen a high official in her life, stiffened, her eyes rolled up suddenly, and she was so shocked by the news that she almost fainted.
"Mother! Mother!"
Zhang Jiuer was frightened and quickly supported Mrs. Zhang who was unsteady.
"Quickly, prepare the wine and food quickly. Mom wants to serve my good uncle!"
After Mrs. Zhang calmed down, a smile appeared on her face. She looked at Zhang Jiu'er and said, "Daughter, you have to seize the opportunity. The one who is near the water and the tower is the first to get the moon. Do you understand?"
"Didn't you say when you were young that you wanted to marry a talented person? I think Lin Yi is very good, handsome and has a good heart!"
"You're not a young man anymore, it's time to settle down!"
Mrs. Zhang was in a good mood and started to get busy. She did not forget to mutter: "A good mother-in-law can help my daughter get twice the result with half the effort..."
"mother!!"
Zhang Jiuer's face turned red with embarrassment and he stamped his feet anxiously.
How can you be such a mother!
Biting her lip lightly, she felt a little hope for no reason, and said firmly in her heart: "I will work hard, just to be by your side..."
…
Prince Teng's carriage slowly entered the alley.
As soon as Lin Yi got off the carriage, he saw the Zhang family's crowded scene.
"I just knew..."
Lin also had a headache.
He knew that once he won the imperial examination, the Holy Academy and Qingshan Academy, including the Hanlin Academy, would definitely offer him an olive branch.
Lin Yi walked over.
"Scholar Lin"
"Scholar Lin!"
"I am the master of Qingshan Academy. I have been ordered by the dean to come here and talk to you about further studies with great sincerity!"
"I belong to the Zhenguo Holy Academy...why are you pushing me?"
"I am a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Bachelor Lin... I'm an old man!"
When everyone saw that Lin Yi had finally returned from the palace, they rushed forward and several representatives even started to pull each other.
"..."
Lin Yi felt numb all over as he watched the officials from the Holy Court, the Academy, and the Hanlin Academy fight with each other.
really!
The preface to Prince Teng’s Pavilion is still quite amazing.
No matter it is the Holy Academy, the Academy or the Hanlin Academy, whoever you choose will gain huge fame and wealth.
For Dayan scholars, it is a great honor to be a classmate of the person who wrote the preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion.
'I also feel very honored to be able to bring Master Wang Bo's articles here...' Lin Yi said in his heart.
However, Lin Yi has no plans to join any force for the time being.
He is waiting!
Wait for Emperor Dayan to convey his intention to enter the palace!
This is his choice.
Whether it is the Holy Academy, Qingshan Academy, or Hanlin Academy, he must start from the bottom.
Along the way from being framed and wrongly accused in Anyang County Government, he knew very well that if he wanted to change something, he must have absolute strength.
Strength can be cultivation.
It can even be power!
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Just when Lin Yi was about to decline, a duck-like voice echoed throughout the alley.
"coming!"
When Lin Yi heard the eunuch's unique voice, his whole body was shaken and his heartbeat accelerated slightly.
this day.
Finally here!
In an instant, the noisy alleys and alleys suddenly became quiet, and many people watching the excitement knelt down in shock.
They didn't expect that their newly moved neighbor would actually receive His Majesty's decree.
The masters of the Academy and the Holy Academy, as well as the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, including the scholars who came with them, also immediately bowed and saluted to welcome the procession announcing the decree.
Everyone's mind was slightly moved.
How come His Majesty's decree comes so quickly?
Did you come at the right time?
It’s too urgent!
Is it possible that His Majesty still wants to steal people from them?
On the other hand, several bachelors from the Hanlin Academy breathed a sigh of relief.
But when they saw the eunuch who announced the decree, they were even more horrified.
It turned out to be Mei Zheren, the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department. This was a eunuch whose power was equivalent to that of the chief minister of the cabinet.
It can be seen that His Majesty is really very optimistic about Academician Lin...
"Scholar Lin, please go back to the house to receive the order!"
The fair-faced Mei Zheren, with a kind smile on his face, signaled Lin Yi to return to the Zhang family's residence.
"Eunuch, please!" Lin Yi saluted.
Mei Zheren was taken aback, and he bent down slightly without leaving any trace, and said with a smile: "Scholar Lin, please go first, and we will just follow you!"
The Hanlin Academy officials were dumbfounded.
This... is the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial eunuch?
Lin Yi was a little suspicious, but he didn't think too much about it at the moment. After letting Zhang Jiuer open the courtyard door, he led Mei Zheren and the team announcing the decree into the courtyard.
Masters from the Holy Academy and Academy, as well as officials from the Hanlin Academy, were waiting outside the door.
"Your Majesty's decree is so fast!"
"Your Majesty went to Prince Teng's Pavilion at midnight last night. You can imagine how optimistic he is about Lin Yi!"
"Haha, Lin Yi belongs to my Hanlin Academy after all!"
The masters of the Academy and the Holy Academy looked askance at the Hanlin Academy official with disdain on their faces.
…
"Lin Yi, congratulations on becoming the Jiecheng Rural Examination Yuan, those people outside..."
As soon as Zhang Jiuer saw Lin Yi, he felt inexplicably happy. But before he finished speaking, he noticed Mei Zheren who followed Lin Yi in, as well as the eunuchs and imperial guards in palace clothes...
"Lin Yi?"
Zhang Jiuer was slightly absent-minded.
"Lin Yi, you worked hard on the exam today. Auntie killed the chickens and ducks and bought some fish. Let's have a big dinner tonight... eh?"
Mrs. Zhang, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen. Just as she opened her mouth to say a word, she saw her father-in-law Mei Zheren and the palace guards.
Subconsciously he raised the kitchen knife.
"Protect……"
When Mei Zheren saw the knife in Mrs. Zhang's hand, he was so shocked that his hair stood on end. He almost shouted, "Protect Your Highness," and subconsciously stepped forward to stand in front of Lin Yi.
"Protect Bachelor Lin!"
The palace guard held the handle of the knife with his right hand and stared at Mrs. Zhang eagerly.
