Lin Ruhai finished showering,

He changed into a fresh set of clothes,

Then, he walked to Mother Lin's courtyard with Jia Su.

Mother Lin sat down first,

Then, she asked the servant maids to serve breakfast on the table.

Taking advantage of this gap,

She carefully looked Lin Ruhai up and down and was surprised to find that her son's face was a little more rosy.

One had to know that in order to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible, Ruhai had almost forced himself to the extreme. Other than the necessary poetry recitals and travels, he rarely went out.

Of course,

He had also made his body very weak. Although he was handsome, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. As a mother, she always felt flustered and worried.

She looked at Jia Su in surprise, "Shu'er, Ruhai is …"

Jia Su lowered her head, not knowing how to answer.

The matter of her pulling Lin Ruhai to exercise together,

She couldn't tell Mother Lin.

Not only was she worried that she wouldn't be able to accept it, but she was also worried that she would think that she was a boorish person who only knew how to dance with guns and sticks —

Even though she was indeed.

But she was. It didn't mean that she had to let Mother Lin think so.

Even if Mother Lin could accept her doing business, dancing with guns and sticks..

Cough cough..

Who knew that Lin Ruhai didn't have any intention of hiding it from Mother Lin. He directly revealed it from the side, "My wife thinks that my body is too weak. She wants me to get better, so she taught me some exercises.

“

Obviously, Lin Ruhai knew Mother Lin better,

After hearing this, she didn't show a trace of surprise,

Instead, she looked happy. "Then you should follow Shu'er and learn well,

When your body is better, you can let me hold my grandson sooner. "

It would be good if her daughter-in-law could recite poems with her son, but she valued the changes that Jia Su had brought to Lin Ruhai's body.

Nothing could compare to her son's health. After he was healthy, he might bring the Lin family the possibility of breaking the one-child rule.

Jia Su was embarrassed. Mother Lin's thinking was really advanced, but it was also really..

How could she think of children no matter what!

Because of this, Jia Su didn't dare to get close to Mama Lin. She was afraid that if their relationship was good, Mama Lin would have a reason and opportunity to urge her to have a baby every day. It wouldn't be like now, where she could only make use of every opportunity to mention it during breakfast.

This body was only sixteen years old, not even seventeen yet. As a modern person who knew how harmful early pregnancy was to the body, she absolutely did not want to get pregnant and have a child so early.

If she didn't know that the Lin family only had one son for several generations and that Jia Min only had Daiyu when she was 35 years old, she would have stopped using contraception early and wouldn't have flirted with Lin Ruhai whenever she wanted.

However, looking at Mother Lin's eager and expectant eyes, Jia Su could only lower her head and pretend to eat attentively. "Mmm, it's delicious …"

When Lin Ruhai was on duty, his complexion didn't look much different from usual. However, if you looked closely, you could see that his complexion was indeed better than usual.

Ji Shushi, who took the same imperial examination as Lin Ruhai but only passed the Grand Scholar Ranking Two, met him at the door and couldn't help but glance at him. "Editor Lin, your complexion looks good today. It looks like you had a very happy wedding."

His tone was somewhat sour when he said this.

Although they were both Grand Scholars, one had fallen from the top scholar position to the third place because of his youth and appearance, while the other was a Grand Scholar Ranking Two with mediocre results. One was only seventeen or eighteen years old, while the other was already in his forties. One had just passed the Grand Scholar Ranking Two and obtained a beautiful woman of noble status, while the other had married a merchant's daughter early to make a living …

It was impossible for him not to be jealous.

These kinds of words often happened at Hanlin Academy. Lin Ruhai was already used to it and didn't feel the slightest ripple in his heart.

He nodded at Ji Shushi. "Many thanks, Ji Shushang."

Without waiting for him to continue speaking, Lin Ruhai took his leave first. "Ji Shushang, there isn't much time left. This one will leave first."

After he finished speaking, he didn't even look back.

When he walked into the office where he usually wrote books, there were already many colleagues inside.

Lin Ruhai was just about to go to his seat when he saw Zhao Weixiu, who he usually didn't get along with, come forward. "Editor Lin, you married a good wife. Not only is her status noble and her appearance outstanding, she can also help you advance in your official career."

Lin Ruhai was at a loss, but he didn't show it on his face. "I don't know what Weixiu Zhao means by this?

This one hasn't been at work for several days and has delayed a lot of writing content. I really don't want to delay you any longer. "

Weixiu Zhao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. "You're still playing dumb!

I'll coldly watch you disrespect your elders and see how far you can go in the official circle by relying on that Duke Rongguo! "After he finished speaking, he angrily returned to his seat.

Although the others didn't come looking for trouble like Weixiu Zhao, they all avoided him like the plague. Lin Ruhai was at a loss as to what to do. His entire person was a bit stunned.

Lin Ruhai raised his foot. The wooden box containing the wedding candies in his hand swayed a few times and almost fell to the ground.

He quickly came back to his senses and paused. In the end, he didn't try to give the wedding candies to his colleagues who had bad attitudes.

Not long after, the Emperor's head eunuch arrived at Hanlin Academy. "Is Editor Lin here?"

"Yes." Lin Ruhai immediately stood up to answer.

The eunuch looked Lin Ruhai up and down, his eyes full of praise. Duke Rongguo's eyesight was as good as always.

Thinking of Duke Rongguo's position in the Emperor's heart, he wanted to curry favor. "His Holiness wants to see you all. Don't tidy up the things at hand and quickly follow."

The other people in Hanlin Academy were shocked. The Emperor wanted to see Lin Ruhai?

Lin Ruhai hesitated for a moment, then grabbed a handful of wedding candies from the wooden box and put them in his sleeve before quickly walking to the door.

"Eunuch, this one got married a few days ago. I specially brought these wedding candies …"

The eunuch looked at the wedding candies in Lin Ruhai's hand and smiled. "Then congratulations to Editor Lin. Today is a double blessing."

Lin Ruhai almost immediately thought of Weixiu Zhao's words and immediately understood. It seemed that he was going to be promoted.

It was no wonder that his colleagues, who usually treated him well on the surface, would suddenly make things difficult for him today.

They must have gotten the news that he was going to be promoted through other channels.

And his promotion must have something to do with Duke Rongguo's promise that he would be promoted within two years.

He just didn't know why Duke Rongguo didn't tell him about such a big promotion on the day of his wedding.

When the Emperor of Enlightenment wasn't in court, he wore ordinary clothes and looked like an ordinary rich lord. He had a kind face and looked at the younger generation with a kind and tolerant gaze.

But this didn't include Lin Ruhai, who had stood him up once.

Lin Ruhai came to the study and immediately knelt down to greet the Emperor of Enlightenment. But the Emperor of Enlightenment didn't let him get up. Instead, he looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze. "You are Lin Ruhai?

Raise your head! "

Lin Ruhai raised his head.

The Emperor of Enlightenment narrowed his eyes. "You really are a handsome man."

Lin Ruhai lowered his head. "Your Majesty praises me too much."

The Emperor of Enlightenment waved his hand. "Enough. I called for you to come see me. Why didn't you come?

Do you know how bad that bastard Hu Yao is at telling stories?

You actually made me listen to a boring history book for an entire morning! "

The Emperor of Enlightenment was full of anger at the mention of this.

Thinking back to when Hu Yao was still a study attendant, he was the worst at telling stories in the entire Hanlin Academy.

But regardless of whether it was his qualifications or his contributions in compiling books, the position of study attendant was his. The Emperor of Enlightenment had no choice but to listen to him recite stories for an entire year.

A year later, he finally found an opportunity to promote him and transfer him away. He didn't need to suffer his torment anymore. But after so many years, because of this brat Lin Ruhai, he was reliving the nightmare of that year.

The Jia Daishan actually wanted him to promote this brat?

The fact that he didn't demote Lin Ruhai was already his responsibility as the Emperor to remind him that he couldn't be willful!

Lin Ruhai didn't know that in just a few short moments, the Emperor of Enlightenment's mind was filled with countless thoughts. He even remembered his dissatisfaction with him in the past.

He had no choice but to tell the Saint Emperor everything that had happened a year ago. Of course, he didn't dare to voice his guesses in front of the Saint Emperor. He just told him everything he knew without missing a single word.

Of course, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Your Majesty really holds a grudge!

For better or worse, the Emperor of Enlightenment was the victor of the last battle for the throne. He almost immediately caught a glimpse of the battle for the throne.

The Emperor of Enlightenment's expression instantly disappeared. His expression was dignified without being angry. "Are you telling the truth?"

"Not a single word wrong!" Lin Ruhai didn't dare face the Emperor of Enlightenment's anger directly.

The Emperor of Enlightenment waved his hand at the eunuch beside him. "Bring over the twenty-four scribes.

Today, I want to hear whether or not Reading Attendant Lin is really so knowledgeable. "

Lin Ruhai was startled. He didn't expect that he would be promoted to the position of Reading Attendant.

After coming back to his senses, he quickly thanked the Emperor of Enlightenment.

The Emperor of Enlightenment didn't care. "You may rise!"

After thinking for a bit, he added, "If it weren't for the fact that I praised you every day on behalf of Shan a few days ago, and even spoke up for you today, even if I gave you the position of a study attendant, I would never have summoned you today."

Lin Ruhai naturally felt more and more grateful to Duke Rongguo.

Thinking back, he thought that he might also have the opportunity to sit in the position of Reading Attendant in the future, so he practiced his storytelling skills.

Lin Ruhai had long memorized the contents of the Twenty-four Histories. He knew how to make the content that had been repeated so many times easier to understand, and at the same time, willingly remember it.

In the beginning, the Emperor of Enlightenment didn't pay much attention to his son-in-law, Jia Daishan.

But when Lin Ruhai reached the key part of the story, the Emperor of Enlightenment gradually became more and more engrossed in the story. He gradually forgot about the anger he felt when he found his son staring at the chair he was sitting on so early in the morning.

It wasn't until noon that Lin Ruhai was able to leave the study.

When he left, his head was dizzy and a layer of dry skin had formed on his lips.

He talked about history for the entire morning, but because the Emperor was so engrossed in it, no one dared to risk interrupting the Emperor's mood and angering him by bringing him a cup of tea.

Lin Ruhai: "…" So this kind of thing can happen if you talk about history well?

When he returned to the residence, he found that Jia Su had already prepared tea for him. He almost immediately picked up the teacup and poured it into his mouth.

Even if he still remembered to maintain his composure and didn't appear to be in a sorry state in front of Jia Su and the group of maidservants, his anxious actions still made them worried.

Jia Su was puzzled. "Could it be that the Hanlin Academy doesn't give you water to drink?"

Lin Ruhai paused. That's right, he could obviously go to the Hanlin Academy and drink some water to quench his thirst before returning home for lunch …

He turned his head and met Jia Su's puzzled eyes. He couldn't help but reveal an aggrieved expression.
