Chapter 104: Taixue Roommate
After meeting Zhou De, Lin Zhan was not interested in wandering around Chang'an City, so he led Lin Zhao back to the Lin family in Pingkangfang. Along the way, he met several familiar people to say hello to him, all of whom were very enthusiastic.
Lin Zhan had no choice but to return the gift one by one.
When he arrived at his doorstep, the second young master sighed and said, "When my father was not in Chang'an for more than a year, I never paid attention to me when I walked on the road. Now that my father has become a grand master, I don't even let these people go."
Compared with the children of high-ranking officials like Zhou De who could easily enter the Imperial Academy, the reason why others looked for Lin Zhan was mostly because they wanted to study in the Imperial Academy. After all, the most lacking in the capital is the children of officials, and the quota of the Imperial Academy is limited after all, and it is difficult for the children of ordinary officials to enter the Imperial Academy.
After returning to the Lin Mansion, Lin Zhao greeted his uncle and returned to his guest room. As soon as he returned to the room, he turned out the books, found out the stories he brought back from Yuezhou, and carefully compared them.
In this way, Lin Zhao stayed in Lin's mansion for three days. On the morning of the fourth day, when the Lin family gathered together for breakfast, Lin Jian looked at his three juniors and said, "I will take you to report to the Imperial Academy later."
The three of them nodded, and after breakfast, they went back to their rooms to pack their luggage and prepared to follow Lin Jian to report to the Imperial Academy. Mrs. Lin and Lin Zhan went out to see her off.
When he arrived at the door, Lin Zhao took out a few booklets from his package and handed them to Lin Zhan. Then he smiled and said, "Erlang, this is a popular story booklet in Yuezhou. I have read it. It's useless to keep it. I'll give you a relief."
Lin Zhan reached out to take these booklets, but he didn't care at first. After reading a few pages casually, he realized that it was very different from ordinary story books such as the Mountain and Sea Classics. He felt it fresh and immediately smiled happily and thanked Lin Zhao repeatedly: "Thank you, Third Brother!"
Lin Sanlang smiled and said, "You're welcome."
This second young man has a vast friendship in the capital. This thing is in his hands and will soon spread among young people in Chang'an City. It will be natural to hold a story collection in Chang'an.
Mr. Lin obviously didn't know that he had become a tool man, and he was still holding these booklets and was very happy.
Wubenfang, where the Imperial College was located, was originally near Pingkangfang. Soon the group arrived at the gate of the Imperial College. At this time, Lin Jian had been in the Imperial College for three days. When the guards at the Imperial College saw him, they bowed their heads and saluted: "I have met the Grand Master."
Lin Jian said "hmm", carried his hands on his back, and led his three juniors all the way to the Imperial College of the Imperial College.
In addition to a priest, Imperial College also has two other people, namely the vice president, and then Imperial College Chief Secretary, chief clerk, recorder, and doctoral assistants from various studies.
As the principal, Lin Yuanda spoke to the chief clerk who was in charge of the report after arriving at the Imperial Academy, so Lin Zhao and the other three successfully entered the Imperial Academy. After the record, the chief clerk looked at Lin Jian carefully and said, "Grandmaster, there is no separate empty school in the Imperial Academy. You three juniors may not be able to live in the same school."
In a school, three or five people usually live together. The chief clerk means that the three people in the Lin family cannot be arranged in the same dormitory.
If it is an ordinary school, allocating dormitories is just a very ordinary little thing, but this is the Taixue. If you can study in the Taixue, you will have some power in your family. Therefore, the allocation of this school is also very particular.
Some people even go to the Imperial Academy to study in order to get in touch with the son of a certain family and live in a school.
"Don't let them live together deliberately, just look at the arrangement."
Lin Jian said in a deep voice: "Although the three of them are my juniors, they are students who have entered the Imperial Academy. They are no different from other Imperial students. They will handle them as usual."
As he said that, the great master turned his head and said, "I have something to deal with, so you will lead them to meet the doctor of the Imperial Academy."
Doctors are those responsible for teaching in each school. They are usually served by new Jinshi or some older scholars.
The chief clerk immediately stood up and said, "The Lord is honored to send the Grand Master."
Lin Jian nodded, and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, looked back at Lin Zhao, and explained: "Sanlang, study hard here, and strive to be recommended to the Ministry of Ceremony at the end of the year. If you can also pass the Jinshi in these two years, your uncle and nephew will be considered a good story for the Lin family in Yuezhou."
Lin Zhao was taught by his mother Lin Erniang since she was a child. His literary foundation was actually very good, and he was relatively smart. As long as he studied hard in the Imperial Academy for a few years, it was not completely impossible to be a Jinshi.
After all, candidates recommended to the Ministry of Ceremony by the Imperial College have great advantages in some aspects than other juren who went to Beijing to take the exam.
Lin Zhao nodded and said, "My nephew understands."
"If you have any questions, you can come and find me. If you can't find me, go to Pingkangfang to find your uncle."
"I know Uncle Qi."
After Lin Jian gave Lin Zhao a few words, he turned around and left. The chief clerk then stepped forward, smiled at the three people in the Lin family, and said, "Three young men, come with me, I will take you to their respective schools. When tomorrow, the doctors of the Imperial Academy will assign you school."
Among the Tai students, there are all famous families. Even if the prime minister's son comes here, these officials from the Imperial College may not be so polite, but the three people in the Lin family are different.
They are... the principal's relatives!
The relatives of the boss should naturally be more polite, otherwise they will not be able to have a good time if the boss gets angry.
Lin Zhao and the other two first arrived in Chang'an from Yuezhou. They were still a little restrained in the new environment, so they followed the chief clerk honestly and were assigned to different school halls.
In this era, there were naturally no upper and lower bunks, but each person had a bed. Because the student was very special, the school was not young. According to later generations, it was about fifty or sixty square meters. There were four beds in such a large room, including tables, chairs, benches, and cabinets.
Even... it is much better than Lin Zhao's place to live in Donghu.
Lin Zhao was not willing to live with the two clan brothers. Now he was separated and he was assigned to a school where he lived only one student. At this time, this roommate was not in the school, so he should have gone to school to study.
On the wall of the school, there was a wooden sign with the name of the Tai Student. At this time, only one sign was hung on the wall. After Lin Zhao put down his luggage, he carefully turned the sign over and took a look at the name on it.
"Qi Xuan."
Lin Sanlang then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, it's not that Fatty Zhou. That man has such a bad reputation in Chang'an City. If he becomes a roommate with him, how can I get along in Chang'an in the future?"
After letting go, Lin Zhao found a window in his free bed. At this time, there were many messy poems left by the "seniors" on the bed, most of which were poems of determination, such as cultivating uniformity and governing peace.
Lin Zhao opened his luggage and began to clean his bed. He grew up in the countryside and was very familiar with these housework. He soon cleaned up his bed.
He had just finished packing his bed and sat down on the bed to rest. When the voice of the previous chief clerk came from outside: "Mr. Zhou, the Tai student named Lin Zhao lives here..."
Then Lin Zhao heard a familiar voice.
"That young man lives here too."
The voice laughed: "I guessed before that this person might be going to study in the Imperial Academy, but I was right!"
