A Blessed Wife At Home Chapter 996: Being a guest at a banquet
As for whether this was just a simple party or there was something fishy about it, Qiao Xuan didn't think she couldn't handle it.
The Hanlin Academy is a Qingshui yamen, and most of the officials are very poor, and some even go in and out of **** shops countless times every year.
But the water in this place is pure water, and it is also very precious.
If you become famous, you will be famous all over the world, and you will be a model for scholars all over the world. You will be recorded in the history books and your name will go down in history.
Furthermore, the imperial court basically recruited people from the Hanlin Academy to compile books. For scholars, this was a great honor and pride.
In addition, the Hanlin Academy is equivalent to another dragon gate like a fish leaping over the dragon gate.
Many officials in the six departments, especially the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Household Affairs, are usually transferred from the Hanlin Academy. If you want to join the cabinet and worship the prime minister and rank first among ministers, the Hanlin Academy is a place where you must gain experience.
The first and assistant ministers of the entire Qin Dynasty, without exception, all came from the Hanlin Academy to the Sixth Department, and then from the Sixth Department to the Ministry of Personnel, and then entered the cabinet.
Although the chance of being ranked first among ministers is very small, entering the Hanlin Academy means that you will always have this chance, right?
And because of this small and small opportunity, the officials of the Six Ministries would not offend the people of the Hanlin Academy easily.
After all, who knows what will happen more than ten years or decades from now? Who can calculate accurately? What if the person whom I have offended becomes the chief assistant in the future?
Or, what if someone with whom he has a very good relationship becomes the chief assistant?
If it wasn’t a life-and-death feud, why bother with so many troubles and lay the foundation for disaster?
For this reason, the Hanlin Academy is a particularly special place in the entire bureaucracy of the capital.
This Lin Hanlin is now a sixth-grade attendant. His official position is one level higher than that of Shao Yunduan, and he has performed well. The next step is either to be promoted to a fifth-grade attendant bachelor or assistant lecturer, or to enter the sixth grade for training. The future is visible.
Mrs. Lin is naturally quite proud of herself. At least she is considered a leader among the wives of officials in the Hanlin Academy.
Lin Hanlin is not from the capital. He has worked hard in the Hanlin Academy for ten years. Due to his limited income, he cannot afford to buy a house. In the early years, he was quite depressed. Two years ago, he received a large reward and rented a house. A comfortable place to live in a small courtyard with two entrances in a good location.
Today’s banquet will be held in this small courtyard.
Qiao Xuan arrived either early or late.
Although she is the wife of the number one scholar, once the number one scholar joins the job, she can no longer be brave as before. Now she is just the wife of an editor.
She was in a low position and had the most junior qualifications. Qiao Xuan knew exactly where she should be. After arriving at the Lin family, she smiled and gave gifts, and then took the initiative to greet everyone in a very humble and polite manner.
Actually, by this time, Qiao Xuan already understood that today's banquet was not a good one.
The gifts she brought include two pieces of fine Hangzhou silk made from the latest materials, two first-class Duan inkstones, and two boxes of snacks from the famous Yanxiangji in the capital ~IndoMTL.com~ containing various snacks There are eight kinds in total, and there are also two boxes of excellent preserves for a total of eight kinds.
This gift is considered very generous among the female relatives of the Hanlin Academy. The silk material alone costs five taels of silver.
The Lin family is not a wealthy family. It is said that Qiao Xuan's attitude is modest and her gifts are generous, which shows that the younger generation is paying a visit to the older generation. Mrs. Lin should be very happy and treat her affectionately.
But Qiao Xuan secretly observed it carefully. Mrs. Lin was indeed happy. When she saw the gift, her eyes lit up and her smile became much brighter at that moment.
??Happy National Day!
?Baby, please be safe when you go out, play happily, and follow articles happily, I love you, okay
