Chapter 159
After being noisy for half a month, it was time for the palace examination.

Generally speaking, the palace examination does not disqualify candidates, and the results of the palace examination are basically not much different from those of the general examination, so many people spend this time on socializing.

While waiting for the palace examination, I saw many people greeting each other.It wasn't until the identity check began that everyone began to quiet down.

After a series of procedures, all the talents came to the Hall of Preservation and found their seats according to the number plate issued by the eunuch at the door.

There are long tables one by one, and a small round stool is placed on each table.On the case table is a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

After everyone was seated, the main examiner and six assistant examiners walked in at the same time.Candidates quickly stood up to salute the invigilator before being allowed to sit down.

The matter was not over yet, with the sound of the whip nine times, I heard the sound of singing: The emperor is here!
Everyone had to stand up again and prepare to greet the emperor.Along with the emperor came in several ministers, Shen Bin and Lin Ruhai were among them.

After that is the official exam time, this time the exam is about the sea ban.Presumably the emperor still has ideas about the Nan'an County King taking power over the South China Sea.The emperor listened to Wang Zhanjun's suggestions to Lin Ruhai.This palace test is to see if there are any students who realize the harm in it.

Naturally, Wang Zhanjun couldn't be troubled by such an examination question. Based on the current actual situation and the experience of later generations, he heard several feasible suggestions.Of course, he didn't say anything more about the sea ban, and it's not suitable to say it in such a scene.

The emperor is a pragmatic person, and most of the examiners selected are also inclined to be pragmatic, so this article by Wang Zhanjun got seven big circles.This means that Wang Zhanjun's article has been approved by all the examiners, and it will be sent to the emperor to read it in person, and may be designated as the number one scholar.

The emperor read the article handed in by the examiner, and checked it carefully.

"Shen Aiqing, this Shen Jinyu is your son."

Shen Bin said: "Reporting to the emperor, Shen Jinyu is the dog."

The emperor just nodded, and then asked Lin Ruhai: "Lin Aiqing, then, this Wang Zhanjun is the young student who lives in your house."

"Reporting to the emperor, Wang Zhanjun lives in the mansion of the humble minister."

The emperor smiled and said: "Congratulations to the successors of the two lovers. According to the decree, Shen Jinyu will be the number one scholar in this subject, and Wang Zhanjun will be the candidate of this subject, and the rankings of the rest of the candidates will be postponed in order."

For a while, there was an endless stream of people congratulating Shen Bin and Lin Ruhai.

When the news reached the Lin family, the servants became happy again, and such a happy event would be rewarded a lot.

After crossing the street, Wang Zhanjun was also considered to be free. He would not report to the Imperial Academy until three months later, and then he would spend a year and a half in the Imperial Academy.

The excitement in the Lin family had just subsided, and another moth appeared in Jia's mansion.It turned out that it was Jia Yuanchun who finally learned that the relationship between the Lin family and the Jia family had broken, so he sent an official announcement.

After entering the harem, Jia Yuanchun knew that the glory of the harem was connected with the previous dynasty.If the members of the family are competitive, the concubines in the harem will be favored by the emperor.On the contrary, no matter how high the imperial concubine is, it is useless.Jia Yuanchun used many methods to seal the concubine, among which there were many power transactions surrounding the Jia family. Although the Jia family was an insider, they didn't know much about it.

However, it was not easy for the Jia family to push her to the concubine position, and they couldn't give her any support at all.Looking at Jia's relatives, only Wang Ziteng and Lin Ruhai can help her consolidate the position of Concubine Xiande.But Wang Ziteng was on patrol, and he couldn't quench his thirst far away, so the only person he could rely on was Lin Ruhai.

Jia Yuanchun wanted to ease the relationship with the Lin family, so he summoned Mrs. Wang many times, hoping that she would let go of her prejudice with Jia Min and take the initiative to ease the relationship with the Lin family.But what Mrs. Wang didn't tell Jia Yuanchun was that many of the reasons why the Lin family severed ties with the Jia family were all her fault.

Not knowing what happened, Jia Yuanchun wrote a letter to Jia's mother.In the letter, it was said that the family-speaking villa is empty, and it is better to use it as the residence of the sisters.Of course, Jia Baoyu is indispensable for such a courtyard. Even though he is married, Jia Yuanchun let him live in the Grand View Garden with his sisters.Perhaps Jia Yuanchun knew in his heart that if Jia Baoyu didn't live in the Grand View Garden, then the girls in Jia's mansion were not eligible to live in it either.

Originally, this had nothing to do with the Lin family.However, Jia Yuanchun wrote another letter to the Lin family, asking Lin Daiyu to live in the garden as well.

It was the eunuch in the palace who delivered the letter to Lin Ruhai. Jia Yuanchun did this deliberately because he was afraid that Lin Ruhai would refuse.Jia Yuanchun did not have the power to make orders to his courtiers.She did this in a disguised way to make Lin Ruhai unable to refuse.

It was only then that Lin Ruhai remembered Wang Zhanjun's reminder at the beginning, and he really didn't expect Jia Yuanchun to die like this.

"Yu'er, don't worry, father will not let you live in the Grand View Garden. For father, I will go to the emperor to plead guilty."

Lin Ruhai didn't give Lin Daiyu time to talk, and turned around directly to go to the palace to meet the emperor.

Wang Zhanjun happened to meet Lin Ruhai who was about to go out: "Uncle Lin, who is this?"

Lin Ruhai didn't tell Wang Zhanjun the reason, but said: "Zhanjun, you came just in time, go and comfort Yu'er. I'm going to see the emperor, and I'll talk about the rest when I come back."

Lin Ruhai left in a hurry, so Wang Zhanjun had no choice but to ask Lin Daiyu.

"Sister, what happened?"

Lin Daiyu's eyes were red from crying, she looked up at Wang Zhanjun and said nothing.Xueyan couldn't see it, and said to Wang Zhanjun: "It's not the Rongguo Mansion, but the lady was moved to live in the Grand View Garden."

Living in the Grand View Garden, is it still the same as the original book, let the girl from Jia's mansion live in the Grand View Garden with Jia Baoyu?Whether Jia's family really didn't know, or they were pretending to be confused.

Here in Jia's mansion, Jia Baoyu could not stop smiling when he heard that he could live with Lin Daiyu again.He acted like a spoiled child around Jia Mu, demanding that Lin Daiyu be brought over as soon as possible.

"Old ancestor, let Sister Feng take Sister Lin over here. Uncle Lin will not refuse if Big Sister speaks. I haven't seen Sister Lin for a long time."

Mother Jia was also happy to take Lin Daiyu over. In her opinion, what the empress means is what the emperor means, how dare Lin Ruhai refuse.

"Feng girl, I think Baoyu lives in Yihong Courtyard and Lin girl lives in Xiaoxiang Pavilion. You go and arrange for someone to clean it up, and Lin girl must be satisfied."

Wang Xifeng didn't say anything, and agreed: "Old lady, don't worry. Baoyu, you lend me the Zijuan, and I will clean up the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for Sister Lin."

Jia Baoyu thought that Zijuan used to be Lin Daiyu's maid, and knew her preferences very well, so he quickly agreed.

"Second Grandma, didn't Second Master say that he would befriend the Lin family? Why did you promise the old lady to clean up the Xiaoxiang Pavilion?" Ping'er asked puzzled.

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I promised the old lady, but do you think Uncle Lin will let Sister Lin come over?"

Ping'er said in amazement: "This is an imperial edict from the empress, how dare Master Lin dare to refuse?"

Wang Xifeng didn't know what Lin Ruhai would do, but she believed that Lin Ruhai would not let Lin Daiyu live here.Jia Baoyu was already an adult, Jia Lian seldom entered the inner court when he was his age, just to avoid suspicion.For Lin Ruhai's reputation, she would never let her live with Jia Baoyu.
