It is also difficult to say Mao Badou can achieve a positive result.
Zhao'er's unintentional words made Lin Yanran's speaker unintentional and his listeners intentional. Obviously Lin Miao had acquiesced, but Mao Badou finally let her nod after a lot of thought.
In Ding Weinian's meeting, both Chen Jian and Lin Miao were successful, but Mao Badou was the only one who failed.
Chen Jian, like Xue Tingxiang's dream, still won the top spot in the new division, but Lin Miao was an unpopular one, and actually won the third flower. The two teachers and students passed down the grand ceremony and called the name, crossed the horse and toured the Golden Street, went to the hairpin and flower banquet, the scenery was extremely beautiful, and later entered the Hanlin Academy.
After everything is over, it is time to pick up the family members to Beijing.
Since neither of them could leave the capital, Mao Badou had to do it for him. Mao Badou went to Beilu Academy first, and then had Chen Jian's sister Chen Xiulan picked up. Fang took his wife Tao Shi, Lin Yanran, and Chen Xiulan there together. Beijing.
Along the way, Mao Badou had to do everything personally, but he coaxed Tao to the point of not treating him as his own son. Naturally, he didn't give up to be courteous in front of Lin Yanran. Originally, because he deliberately designed Li Yi to make his father and himself look ugly, Lin Yanran still somewhat disliked him in his heart. In this way, it also changed a lot.
Later, it happened that Tao Shi wanted to accept Mao Badou as his adopted son, but he rejected him. Finally, he realized that he did not want to be a son because he was interested in the position of his son-in-law.
However, the son-in-law and the son are similar. Lin Miao and his wife have been the only daughter of Lin Yanran for many years. The two have long since given up the idea of having more children. Multiple sons-in-law should be more than one son.
No, after some negotiation, the wedding date was set in May, so I hurriedly sent a letter to Xue Tingxiang and Li Datian, asking them to come to the scene in person.
They must be there in person. What Xue Tingxiang can say can only go.
What about Ke Zhaoer and his son
Fortunately, Xue Tingxiang was not an old-fashioned person, so he planned to bring his wife and children with him. As for Li Datian, he was still struggling with this matter. Seeing this, he decided to bring Xue Tao'er with him, as if he were traveling together.
Of course, this trip was not just for them, but also for the Mao family, the husband and wife, and Mao Badou's sister-in-law. The son got married, and there was no reason for the family not to go. Mao Badou's brother-in-law, Zhou Chen, was an escort master, and his family ran an escort bureau. It happened that this time we were going to take a escort to the capital, and everyone could go on the road together.
Once things were agreed upon, Zhao’er started arranging various matters.
Fortunately, she has been at home for more than a year. People like Wang Ji and Caixing are used to her not showing up. The business of ready-to-wear is handed over to Xue Qinghuai, and the business of Caixing is Jiang Wu and Gao Sheng, as well as Xue Qingbai and Xue Qiang. Helper, I'm not afraid of any trouble.
Zhao'er entrusted Zhao Di to Aunt Gao and the Zhou family, and then packed up and set off.
There is no canal to go from Shanxi to the capital, only water and land. Fortunately, they follow the dart team. They are all familiar with this road.
By the time we got to the capital, it was already March.
In March, when the grass grows and the warblers fly, the capital in March is also cold in spring.
The capital is worthy of being the capital, and it is a bustling scene.
Driving all the way in the car, I saw the towering city gate, the layout of the city is rigorous, and the style is grand. The street is wide and straight for dozens of carriages to pass through. There are shops and restaurants on both sides. Pedestrians on the road are dressed in bright clothes, rubbing shoulders, and it is very lively.
This was the first time Zhao'er came to the capital, it was like coming to another world.
Hong'er is now one year old, and it is when she is curious about everything. Zhao'er lifted the curtain of the car to look out, and he also stretched out his small head to look out.
The big eyes are black, and you can see the surprise in them, one big and one small, and the expressions and eyes are like being carved out of a mold.
On the other hand, Xue Tingxiang sat on the side with a bit of helplessness on his face.
"I haven't seen enough yet?" Although he said that, he was holding his son's little ass, so that Little Douding could look at the scenery outside like his mother.
Zhao'er smiled a little embarrassedly: "This place is really different from ours."
Hong'er also turned his head to look at his father, then stretched out his little chubby finger, and said two tones that others could not understand.
"After settling down, I'll take you out for a walk."
"Do you know the way?" Zhao'er asked.
He naturally knew it, and he was probably more familiar with this place than Yuqing Village. However, Xue Tingxiang would definitely not say it clearly, but said, "Even if I don't know the way, I've been here for so long, and I always know the way."
"When the time comes, let that boy Badou take us out for a walk." This was what Li Datian said to Xue Tao'er.
Xue Tao'er nodded.
The car in front was in a similar situation to the one here, with a few members of the Mao family sitting in the car. After entering the capital, the Zhou family's escort shop had to deliver the goods first, while Zhou Chen sent them to the place in two cars.
Now Lin Miao and his family live in Shangtiaozi Hutong in Dongcheng, including Mao Badou and Chen Jian.
Although the two teachers and students are among the top three, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but for the career, it is just the beginning.
According to regulations, the top three can enter the Hanlin without having to go through the selection of the museum. The champion was appointed by Xiu to write and edited by Tan Hua. One was from the sixth rank, and the other was from the seventh rank. For a place in the capital where a single plaque could hit several Beijing officials, it was really nothing.
People in the world know that Hanlin is precious, because there has been such a saying since the previous dynasty, those who are not scholars will not enter the Hanlin, and those who are not of the Hanlin will not enter the cabinet. All civil servants regard entering the cabinet as their greatest goal in life. If they want to enter the cabinet, they must first come to the Hanlin Academy.
But the Hanlin Academy put it bluntly, it is a place for the scholars to continue their studies. If they want to be promoted and get rich, they must survive for three years.
In addition, neither of them were wealthy families, so Lin Miao and the others were now living in this small house that was only halfway through.
This house is not only small, because the entrance of the hutong is a vegetable market, and some small vegetable vendors have no place to set up their stalls, so they put them in the hutong. There are vegetable stalls on the left and right in front of the door, and the door was almost blocked, and rotten vegetable leaves were thrown everywhere on the ground, and these people didn't know how to clean up.
There are too many people in the hutong, and it is impossible to get in the car, so the car can only park at the entrance of the hutong, and people come down and walk on foot. Li Datian supported Xue Taoer, Xue Tingxiang held Xiao Honger, and Zhaoer followed him. The Mao family followed behind, walking all the way through the noisy vegetable stall to the door, and saw Mao Badou standing outside the door chasing the vegetable vendor.
These vegetable vendors are not afraid of Mao Badou. There are not many things in the capital, but there are many officials, let alone one. Seeing that they were being chased away, the vegetable vendors kept their stalls and rolled their eyes at Mao Badu.
Zhao'er and this group of country people are dumbfounded, this is still the master of Juren? Juren masters are not all high above and admired by the audience, how can a small vegetable vendor dare to rush to Juren masters!
They even heard the vegetable vendor retort in a low voice, "What's the matter, I'll come back tomorrow, you won't be exhausted!"
Mao Badou seemed to hear this, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and wanted to curse, when a woman ran out of the door and pulled him from the side.
"What are you arguing with, come in quickly."
"Look at this group of bastards, they are actually competing with Lao Tzu, and when they are with us, Lao Tzu can press them to death with one finger!"
"Oh, why are you cursing again, let me tell you..."
"If you don't like listening to it, I won't scold me. I'm not the one who was angered by the mistress who fell over by them..."
Seeing these two people standing at the door, they became tired and crooked. Someone couldn't help it and cleared his throat: "We are such a large group of living people standing here, you can pretend that you don't see it. Badou, do you think your eyes are right? Lame?"
When Mao Badou heard the voice, he immediately turned his head to look over, and said with joy, "You are all here?! Ting Yan, Da Tian, father, mother, elder sister and elder sister."
Seeing this guy's surprise, he didn't even hear Li Datian scolding him for being lame.
Lin Yanran blushed, lowered her head and said, "I'll go in and tell my mother, and she hurried away." Probably didn't expect the ugly daughter-in-law to see her parents-in-law, and she would actually see the law like this.
A group of people did not go in immediately, but the women and children went in first, and a few men went back to the car at the entrance of the alley to pick up their luggage. After going back and forth several times, I finally moved all the luggage into the house. Zhou Chen went to send the driver, and the other mother, Mrs. Hong, had already talked to Mrs. Tao in the room.
Tao's personality is gentle, while Hong's is a bit more aggressive, but in the end he is facing the future in-laws. Moreover, this in-law relationship is unusual, and he is also the son's teacher. The reason why the son was able to pass the test was to point at his husband, and he naturally smiled, and the two chatted very happily.
Lin Miao and Chen Jian were not there, they were still in the Hanlin Academy and had to come back at noon.
Tao Shi did not expect that Xue Tingxiang and the others would arrive today, and the family did not prepare any dishes. After talking with her in-laws for a while, she hurriedly asked her daughter to buy vegetables.
She was embarrassed to instruct Mao Badou. After all, her mother was there, so how could she instruct her son in front of her mother. In fact, Mao Badou usually does these chores.
And Lin Yanran is a girl and doesn't usually go out. Even if she occasionally goes out to buy something, she will let Mao Badou accompany her. I was a little flustered when I heard her mother's order, but there were guests, but I was embarrassed to explain the difficulties.
Seeing this, Zhao'er hurriedly volunteered to accompany her.
Lin Yanran was overjoyed, and while holding Zhao'er, she talked about the old story since the last time they met, and the two of them went out.
Afterwards, when the vegetables were sold, Zhao'er helped Lin Yanran cook, and Xue Tao'er did the trick, so there was no need to elaborate.
When lunch was almost ready, Lin Miao and Chen Jian came back.
Lin Miao went to talk to his in-laws, while Chen Jian reminisced with Xue Tingxiang and Li Datian. As for Zhao'er, they are busy cooking in the kitchen.
Although Lin Yanran and Xue Taoer were not familiar with each other, as soon as they heard that Li Datian had recently married a daughter-in-law, and Zhao'er's cousin, the two girls were both good-natured, and it took a while to talk about one thing.
There are two tables for lunch, one for men and one for women.
The men drank at the table, and the women ate. During the meal, the more Hong Shi looked at Lin Yanran, the more he liked her. Although she was two years older than her son, this woman was virtuous, diligent, and knowledgeable. Before the dinner table was over, the ancestral bracelet of the Mao family was placed on Lin Yanran's wrist.
After the meal, the Mao family proposed to find an inn. They also saw that the Lin family's house was not big, and they probably couldn't live in these people, so they said that, for fear of causing trouble for their in-laws.
Seeing this, Xue Tingxiang naturally also said to be with them.
It is a pity that Lin Miao rejected this matter, saying that there is no one who can't live at home.
But the house is really small, and finally the room was tidy up. Lin Miao and his wife still lived in the main room. Lin Yanran, who originally lived in the east wing, moved to the west room of the main room. However, Chen Jian and Mao Badou, who originally lived in the west wing, moved from a room for one person to a room for two, and a room for Li Datian and his wife.
Xue Tingxiang's family was arranged in the downside room. They had children, and the place was bigger to be able to perform.
Zhao'er coaxed her son to sleep, but Xue Tingxiang, who was clumsily putting things away, was replaced by her, and instead he went to sleep with Honger and Zhaoer picked up things.
This child Honger is a bit clingy. He is usually an obedient little cutie, but when he sleeps, someone must accompany him. It's not a father to accompany, it's a mother to accompany, there must be someone to accompany.
After finally picking it up, Zhao'er simply took a shower, then lay down on the bed so tired, he sighed, "It turns out that the lives of these high-ranking officials are not as good as ours."
"What do you think?"
According to Zhao'er's opinion, he must be a high official with brocade clothes and jade food, surrounded by servants. But now, seeing Lin Miao and Chen Jian, living in a small house, the family has no servants, and Tao Shi and Lin Yanran have to do the daily housework themselves.
Xue Tingxiang told her about the joints. Although everyone said that Hanlin was poor, it still depends on whether he can study it or not. Compared with juren, the jinshi are exempted from more land taxes, but some jinshi families are thin and unattended, and even if some people donate, it is extremely limited.
However, living in the capital is not easy, and the price is much higher than that in some remote places. Even if it is considered a wealthy family in the local area, it is difficult to come to the capital. Especially in the limited space in the capital, but there are so many people, it is not difficult to understand that they would live in a small house like Lin Miao and the others.
In fact, like Lin Miao and Chen Jian, they can't be called Hanlin, but they are quasi-Hanlin. After the three-year period expires, after passing the examination of the school, and after passing the stay in the school, it can be called a Hanlin.
The Hanlin Academy is such a place that people want, but it is very embarrassing. If you can survive it, naturally a road to the sky is in front of you, but there are many people who are not rich in the original family, and there are very few people who can survive this kind of hardship after so many years of experience.
At this time, compared with the noble and noble Hanlin masters, those who were born as jinshi or even with the same background as jinshi can't stay in the Hanlin, but go out to become officials, and their life is much more nourishing than they are. Maybe you are doing it level by level, and a few years later, you will be a member of the party, but if you want to join the cabinet, you still have to be in the Hanlin.
This is a strange circle, and of course there are people who take shortcuts, but after all, such people are in the minority.
The two were just lying on the couch and talking in a low voice, Hong'er in the bed was sleeping soundly and soundly.
Zhao'er yawned: "Go to sleep, it's getting late."
Xue Tingxiang didn't answer her, but the hand under the quilt reached where it shouldn't.
"What are you doing?" she whispered, for fear of waking her son.
Xue Tingxiang still didn't answer him, but just kept busy.
"Don't, what should I do if people hear it? Hong'er is still nearby."
"Let's be quiet."
Can this be silent
"I don't care, there's only one time on this journey, or you give up halfway. You have to do it, or you have to do it!"
So just do it.
