When Lin Qing arrived at the Ministry of Rites, as soon as he entered Dianmao's front yard, several people in the house got up one after another to congratulate Lin Qing, and Lin Qing hurriedly returned the greetings one by one.
When I walked in, the situation was even worse. Many officials who were originally in their own rooms also came out, greeted Lin Qing, and then congratulated.
In this place of the Ministry of Rites, other news may not be well-informed, but whose child has passed the general examination and won the Jinshi, it does not take a stick of incense, the entire Ministry of Rites definitely knows, whoever asked the Ministry of Rites to take care of this!
When Lin Qing came to his room with great difficulty, Xu Sheng just sat down. Seeing Lin Qing in the room, he quickly said: "My lord is here, congratulations, my lord, congratulations, my lord." The young master will take the test this time, and it is true that the tiger father has no dogs."
Lin Qing said with a smile: "We are happy together, all right, go and pour a cup of tea for your lord, your lord, I have just said the same thing, now I am thirsty and just waiting for tea."
After hearing this, Xu Sheng said with a smile: "My lord will be later, and the next official will go and make a new pot of tea for you."
After Xu Sheng finished speaking, he walked to the ear room. After a while, he brought a pot of tea and poured Lin Qing a cup of hot tea.
Lin Qing drank a few sips, then leaned back in the chair comfortably, and said, "This morning, I almost talked to a person in the Ministry of Rites, and I was exhausted."
Xu Sheng listened to it and said with a smile: "My lord is still tired, but I want to be so tired once I burn incense every day."
After hearing this, Lin Qing said, "Indeed, it's really worthwhile to be tired once. Now that Huan'er has passed the test, the burden on my heart is instantly lightened by half."
"No, for civil servants like us, family inheritance depends on whether someone in the next generation of the family is a Jinshi. Once there are descendants, they can continue to pass on. Once the descendants fail to cross this hurdle, the family will be defeated in an instant." Xu Sheng said with feeling: "If the lower officials had lived up to expectations, now the Xu family would not have fallen to the bottom."
Knowing that Xu Sheng was thinking of himself again, Lin Qing comforted him and said: "I heard that your Dalang is a good student, and he is going to take the provincial examination soon. Maybe he can also pass the first place once, and then grind it twice. Could it be I'm still worried that I won't be a Jinshi."
"It's not that simple," Xu Sheng sighed, and said, "But thank you for your kind words, I really hope that this child can go smoothly, and don't be like an official."
"It is said that green is better than blue because of blue, so Mr. Ling must be better than you." Lin Qing said with a smile.
Xu Sheng said with a smile: "If the dog is really hit, the next official will definitely ask him to kowtow to the lord, to thank the lord."
"Just remember to buy me a glass of wine then." Lin Qing said casually.
"If you really hit the mark, you will definitely have to be an adult." Xu Sheng said immediately.
Lin Qing drank a cup of tea, suddenly thought of something, and immediately smiled.
Xu Sheng said strangely: "What are you laughing at?"
Lin Qing said: "I'm laughing, my son-in-law was also hit, and everyone didn't realize it."
Xu Sheng was taken aback when he heard this, and then suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Congratulations, my lord, this is a double blessing."
It was only then that Xu Sheng remembered that the grandson of Master Butang was also the son-in-law of his own family, but in the Ministry of Rites, when everyone heard Shen Chen, the first reaction must be the grandson of Master Butang, and they would not remember that it was the son-in-law of his family. Mr. Rangbutang is the head of the Ministry of Rites!
Thinking of this, Lin Qing stood up, said with a smile, "I'm going to Mr. Butang, just to congratulate him."
After Lin Qing finished speaking, he took a document and leisurely went to find Shen Ru.
Arriving at Shen Ru's, seeing that Shen Ru had just sent away a group of congratulatory congratulations, Lin Qing stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Sun Xi ranked seventh in the North List."
After hearing this, Shen Ru smiled and said: "Chen'er is your son-in-law, and she will be your wife and son-in-law in the future, and she will also be your daughter who earns the most money. You actually got the advantage and acted like a good boy. Come to me to congratulate you."
Lin Qing listened, laughed twice, went in with Shen Ru, and then sat down and said: "Chen'er is really lucky, he had a baby yesterday, and today he is happy to have an exam. This is really a double happiness."
After hearing this, Shen Ru smiled and said, "That's not it, one after another, it's definitely a double happiness. By the way, your Huan'er also won this time, and it's also a great joy."
"Well, I am relieved that he is in this middle school. No matter what happens in the future, at least he is better than most people in this life." Lin Qing said.
"As long as these two children are not crooked, our Shen and Lin family will have no worries for the next generation." Shen Ru said.
Lin Qing nodded, agreeing very much.
Shen Ru talked about Lin Huan, and suddenly smiled and said: "I came to congratulate you just now, and someone asked about your family Huan'er from me."??
"What are you asking?" Lin Qing asked strangely.
"Of course I'm asking if your family, Lin Huan, has talked about marriage. Many people want your son to be Chenglong Kuai's son-in-law! No, they all inquired about me." Shen Ru said cheerfully.
"My family Huan'er is settled, these people think of it!" Lin Qing said dumbfounded after hearing this.
"You didn't make a big decision to hold a banquet, how would others know," Shen Ru said, "You know, in the circle of civil servants, the best son-in-law is the one who wins Jinshi."
Lin Qing knew that what Shen Ru said was reasonable, for civil servants, unlike nobles, there is no title inheritance, even the son of the old man, as long as he can't win the Jinshi, he will not have an official status, unless the old man passes away, and His Majesty will miss him so much , you can give his son an official status, this is the so-called Yinzi in the shadow of a wife, and there may be a few of them remembered by His Majesty, so if the civil servant family wants to survive, it can only rely on the disciples in the clan to be promoted to Jinshi .
It's okay for people to say, but Jinshi, no family can guarantee that their children will be successful, so every year when the rankings are released, all those who win the Jinshi and have no engagement will become the favorites of the major families in the capital. After all, if the son and grandson are useless, the son-in-law, as a son-in-law, can also use it as a top, and after a while, he can also train great-grandchildren and great-grandchildren, right?
Lin Qing didn't expect that the man in his family who had a marriage contract was also like this because others didn't know about it, so he hurriedly said to Shen Ru: "Then next time someone asks, you must tell about the marriage contract between Huan'er and Qi's family, or these people I don¡¯t know, everyone will ask, when the Qi family finds out, they think we¡¯re eating on the plate and looking at the pot. It¡¯s not good if there is any misunderstanding.¡±
"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't be ambiguous about this kind of thing, but even though it's the period of national filial piety, you should still tell the Qi family and let them talk about the engagement, so as to avoid unnecessary gossip. "Shen Ru reminded.
Lin Qing nodded, knowing that this was indeed a major event, he said, "I'll go back to Qi's house today."
When it was time to pay off in the afternoon, Lin Qing planned to go home first, change clothes, and then go to Qi's house to settle the matter of the two children thoroughly, so as not to save Qi's family from visiting because of the country's filial piety. Think again.
As a result, as soon as Lin Qing came home, Lin Qing was dumbfounded as soon as he entered the house.
I'll go, why is his house full of matchmakers! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
