If it was only Jia Zheng who was demoted, Mother Jia might think that Jia She was jealous of Jia Zheng and purposely found someone to do it. However, Jia She was also demoted to a third rank general. Now, Jia She's title was the lowest. In other words, Jia Lian had no title to inherit. Because of this, Mother Jia felt that it was impossible for Jia She to do it.
In the future, when Jia She died, the family would have no title. Because of this, the Jia family was now like a headless fly, looking for people to ask what was going on.
Naturally, the Lin Family had also sent people over. Although Jia Min was very dissatisfied with the Lin Family because Jin 'en had scared Jia Baoyu and the Lin Family and' secretly 'left, there was really no other way now. After all, among the people they knew, only Lin Ruhai had the highest position in the court.
However, no matter how many times she went, she was rejected by Jia Min because there were people at home who were about to participate in the "imperial examination" and needed to study at home. As the mistress of the family, she naturally had to stay at home to oversee things.
Because of this, Mother Jia resented her even more.
Not long after spring, it was the "imperial examination". Situ Lang naturally had to participate.
As the Minister of Rites, Lin Ruhai was the only one presiding over the "imperial examination" this time.
The imperial examination was for the imperial court to find talents. Although those who just passed were useless now, who could guarantee that there wouldn't be great people among them in the future?
Lin Ruhai didn't want to get involved in these matters, nor did he want to help a certain prince select talents. Thus, he had written a letter early on, using the fact that his disciple and future son-in-law were participating in the 'competition' to shirk this task early on.
Lin Ruhai was very certain of Situ Lang's knowledge. Lin Ruhai had clearly said that as long as Situ Lang performed normally, with his knowledge, although he didn't dare to say that he would definitely get the Huiyuan, there would definitely be a place for him in the palace examination in the future.
Everyone in the Lin family believed Lin Ruhai's words. Back then, Lin Ruhai was also a peerless Tanhua.
Although Lin Daiyu also believed in Situ Lang's knowledge, in order to be safe, she still asked Lin Ruhai to find the papers from the past few years for Situ Lang to do. She also made guesses based on some of the things that happened in the imperial court.
At the same time, Lin Ruhai also told Situ Lang about the preferences of the grader this time.
Although Situ Lang had been nursed by Daiyu since he was young, and Lin Ruhai had secretly given him ginseng fruits, he was still in a mess when he came out of the examination room. Although he was not carried out like some of the other students, when he got home, he fell asleep without even washing up.
In the end, it was the servants who helped him clean up after he fell asleep.
Although Dai Yu knew that there wouldn't be any problems with Situ Lang's body, she still didn't feel at ease and asked someone to find a doctor to check Situ Lang's pulse.
Instead, it made the maidservants around her laugh for a long time.
Situ Lang slept until the afternoon of the next day. Although he slept for a long time, after waking up, his body did not feel sore. Instead, he felt refreshed.
When Guan Yan heard that his Young Master had gotten up, he immediately went to serve him with the freshening water.
"Young Master has woken up. The future Young Mistress has sent people to ask about him several times. Yesterday, Young Master fell asleep as soon as he came back, but the future Young Mistress was worried sick. She specially asked someone to invite a doctor to check Young Master's pulse. After knowing that Young Master was fine, she even asked the doctor to prescribe a prescription to nurse his body. Young Master is really lucky. The Young Mistress is not only beautiful, but also talented. She is also very good to Young Master. "
"You're so talkative. Is your Young Mistress someone you can talk about?"
Although he was scolding him, Situ Lang felt very sweet in his heart.
Guan Yan was the servant that Lin Ruhai had bought from outside when he had just become a disciple. The servants that he personally served were all the servants that he had bought. There were very few servants of the Lin family. He knew that this was the respect that his teacher and mistress had for him.
Guan Yan had grown up by his side since he was young. He naturally understood Guan Yan very well. Guan Yan had never been a talkative person. This time, he was probably doing this to let him relax and not think about the exam.
In fact, although he also cared about the exam, it had never been the entirety of his life. Now that the exam was over, he would not let the exam occupy his life.
After Situ Lang had freshened up, he saw Guan Yan winking at him. Then, he turned around and saw Dai Yu holding a tray and standing at the door.
Seeing that it was Dai Yu, Situ Lang threw down the handkerchief in his hand and sat down towards Dai Yu. He took the tray from her hand.
"Why are you carrying it? Where are the servants?"
"It's just this little weight. It's not like I can't carry it. There's no need to be so careful."
After Dai Yu followed Situ Lang into the room, Guan Yan sensibly carried out the water that Situ Lang had used to wash his face with. As he walked, he shouted, "Young Master, I'll go and pour the water now. You can eat slowly. I'll 'properly' pour the water. Before you finish eating, I won't come back."
"Brother Lang, Guan Yan is getting more and more naughty. You should really teach him a lesson."
"Okay. When he comes back, I'll teach him a lesson and vent Yu 'er's anger."
"How is that venting for me?"
Dai Yu smiled shyly and placed the food on the tray one by one on the table.
"Brother Lang didn't eat well in the exam hall. After coming back, you slept for so long. You must be hungry now. But Brother Lang has been hungry for so long. You can't eat too greasy food. I made some porridge and some side dishes for Brother Lang. Brother Lang, eat something simple first."
"Okay. Yu 'er's side dishes are the most refreshing."
Dai Yu sat at the side and watched Situ Lang eat.
In the past two years, Situ Lang had always been served by manservants. When the servant girls who served in the room grew older, Situ Lang matched them with servants. When the servant girls who cleaned his courtyard grew older, if they were from the Lin family, Situ Lang would report it to Jia Min and let Jia Min make the decision to match them.
Since Situ Lang had confirmed his feelings for Dai Yu, he naturally waited for Dai Yu wholeheartedly.
Although the maidservants by the side of the young masters of large families would be kept as concubines for the young masters after they grew up, Situ Lang was not willing to do so. Since he did not have that intention, he naturally would not keep them to make things difficult for Dai Yu.
After matching them, he changed all the manservants to serve him. He was originally alone. Even when he ate, he was mostly with Lin Ruhai and the others. There wasn't much work in the room.
He and Yu 'er had known each other since childhood. After seeing Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's harmony, how could he not know Yu' er's idea of "a pair for life." Since he was engaged to Yu 'er, he naturally felt that he would stay by her side for the rest of his life.
"The doctor came to check Brother Lang's pulse before. Brother Lang's body is fine. It's just that your body is a little tired after three consecutive examinations. Rest well for a few days and you'll be fine."
"I know my own body. It's fine!"
"You can't mess around just because your body is fine. It's always good to be careful."
Although Dai Yu's face was red, she still sat there and accompanied Situ Lang to finish eating. Then, the two went to Lin Ruhai's study room together.
Lin Ruhai and Jin En were already waiting for them in the study room. Seeing the two people come together, Lin Ruhai just smiled. Jin En was at the side and winked at Dai Yu.
Lin Ruhai was very happy that Dai Yu and Situ Lang had a good relationship. He also came from the imperial examination and climbed up step by step. In the beginning, he also went to a lot of brothels to socialize. Although it was just for show, people were all like this. They had different requirements for themselves and others.
Lang 'er was now his son-in-law. He naturally hoped that Lang' er would be loyal to Yu 'er. Although the two seemed to have a good relationship before, people's hearts would change, especially when faced with temptation.
Lang 'er was still young and his temperament was unstable. If he went out in the future and came into contact with those messy things, his temperament would change. It was better to let the two children get along well.
Moreover, he also believed that the two children he taught would never do anything wrong.
Dai Yu glared at Jin En. Then, she greeted Lin Ruhai and went out to make tea for the three people.
Lin Ruhai first asked Situ Lang about the examination. Situ Lang explained it to Lin Ruhai in detail. Jin En, who was at the side, listened attentively. He was preparing to take part in the imperial examination this year. Now that he heard more, it would be beneficial to him.
Then, Lin Ruhai asked Situ Lang to silently write out his paper. Jin En also did his own paper according to the exam questions.
As Situ Lang wrote, Lin Ruhai looked at the content he wrote. He stroked his beard and smiled as he nodded.
Situ Lang's talent was good. He was also diligent and eager to learn. Looking at his paper, if there were no problems, there would be no problem with the Huiyuan.
As for the palace examination, that was not a problem at all.
After Lin Ruhai said that there were no problems with Situ Lang's exam, the Lin Clan's people were relieved. In this aspect, Lin Ruhai's words were still very authoritative.
Situ Lang was never worried. After resting at home for two days, he went out to meet his classmates and friends. One must know that these were all future connections.
