What is the first thing you do after winning the tribute?

It's not a group of people shouting, the days are short and the nights are long, why not travel with candles, this kind of all-night play that once you have the will, you will 'sleep and you will be paralyzed' is not right, because there is still a subject of the palace exam has not yet been examined, and now is not the time for the horse to put Nanshan.

Of course, it is not immediately closed doors to study hard and prepare for the upcoming temple examination. In just these few days, no one can read the flowers.

For these new Kogons, new professionals who are about to enter the officialdom. The first thing to do after the Zhonggong Shi is to go to visit the lord and the master of the house. Over the past hundred years, the imperial examination has formed a set of subtle rules.

From the beginning of Longqing, on the second day of the examination list, all the candidates will go to the official hall of the Criminal Department Street to submit a protégé post, and pay homage to the two masters to formally determine the relationship between the seat owner and the protégé.

The seat master is the two main and deputy examiners, the chief examiner is called the big seater, and the deputy examiner is called the small seat master, and the room master is the same examiner who took you.

As for why do you want to meet before the temple examination? Of course, it is respectful, and by the way, among the ten examiners in the palace examination, the chief and deputy examiners are generally selected.

In the Fuzhou Hall, the guests who came to congratulate the guests last night were also unconscious, and Lin Yanchao closed his eyes slightly when it was almost dawn, but he was immediately called up by Lin Shibi and Lu Yicheng to pay homage to the lord.

Lin Yanchao heard that paying homage to the lord was the first major event after the Zhonggong Shi, so he hurriedly brushed his teeth and washed his face, and prepared to go with the two.

Lu Yicheng was born in a poor family, and he didn't know how to meet the master, so he asked Lin Shibi with a worried face: "Brother Tianrui, you are well-informed, please point out the little brother, if you meet the examiner, how should you call it?" ”

Lin Shibi smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, what's polite." Before the Jiajing year, the general protégé called the master and called him Mr. Of course, if you are very close to the master, for example, if you have a relationship with the master, you can further call it 'Master'. ”

Speaking of which. Lin Shibi said slightly: "For example, Uncle Jia and the chief examiner Shen Ge Lao, Yu Shilang are both in the same year, so I can pay homage to my nephew and nephew, and after I talk about the family, I can be called a master." ”

After speaking, Lin Shibi glanced at Lin Yanchao who was beside him and said, "Zong Hai, I plan to do the same." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "This is natural. ”

Lin Yanchao is considered to be from a humble family. is not the second generation of officials like Lin Shibi, and he has no family to rely on, so for him, he can have today. One is that he is diligent and studious, and the other is that he relies on the relationship between teachers and students.

For example, his own teacher Lin Chengyi, his professional teacher Lin Yan, and Lin Yin, the head of the mountain when he was studying in the academy, and Lin Liao, who spoke of Lang, were all from the Lianpu Lin family. He is quite half a child of the Lian Pulin family.

Lu Yicheng saw that Lin Chengyi and Lin Yanchao could have a relationship with the master, and said with a bitter face: "This is miserable, no one in my family is an official." Then I am afraid that the Lord will not be able to see me. ”

Lin Shibi comforted: "That won't either." ”

Lu Yicheng sighed and said, "Brother Tianrui doesn't have to comfort me, I heard that after entering the officialdom." One teacher and student, two in the same year, three fellow villagers. The owner and protégé are the most important things, if they are not appreciated by the owner, they will be selected and run errands after entering the officialdom. I'm afraid it's going to be the end. ”

Lin Shibi, Lin Yanchao knew that Lu Yicheng was right. Lin Yanchao then said: "The examiner ordered your paper, which means that he appreciates you, Brother Lu doesn't have to be too pessimistic." ”

Lu Yicheng nodded.

Since I want to meet the teacher, I can't come to the door empty-handed. According to the rules, the protégé should take a clear Pa Quartet and a book to the door.

In the past, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was still good, and the examiner would try to recruit talents, which was also in line with the heart of seeking talents for the main purpose and not using it for personal gain.

However, it is difficult to say now, and it has become common for protégés to meet the lord with generous courtesy.

For example, Wang Shizhen, the test master of Lin Yanchao Township, complained in his "Yao Bu Yao Lu" that when his brother was just a junior high school, he couldn't live frugally, and he had to spend three hundred taels a year, and in the same year, there were many people who spent six or seven hundred taels a year, and they had to borrow money from others. Why did Wang Shizhen spend so much, that is, he spent money to visit the lord and traveled in the same year.

Many scholars have also read this "Yao Bu Yao Lu", and before they joined the company, they first understood the unspoken rules of officialdom.

Of course, when you meet for the first time now, you don't have to be so extravagant, the main thing is to mix up your face and set the relationship, as for whether you are diligent or not, and how the relationship is done, it depends on your ability.

The three of them prepared congratulatory gifts such as the Quartet of Qingpa and a book, and went to the Criminal Department Street to meet the two masters. The Criminal Department Street is near West Chang'an Avenue and is named after the Yamen of the Criminal Department.

The three of them came to the front of the official hall together, and handed the protégé post to the door in front of the official hall. The moment they handed over the protégé's post, the three of them couldn't help but be happy, which was a face-saving thing.

Generally speaking, protégé posts are not thrown randomly, and as we all know, the relationship between teachers and students in officialdom is very important.

If it is Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing and other bigwigs, they will accept protégés when they release words, and the officials in the capital will have to block their doors. Of course, such a situation is impossible, so most of the people who want to cling to the relationship are cheeky, or ask someone to introduce them in the middle, and then go to the mansion of the powerful to worship the door.

After worshipping the door, if the powerful person approves, both parties write a protégé's post, in duplicate, and sign each other, and the disciple can rely on the teacher's power from now on. If you encounter something difficult that you can't handle, such as being looked down upon by your future father-in-law when you come to propose marriage, or if you are about to be divorced by your fiancée, the disciple doesn't need to shout 'don't bully the young man to be poor', take out the teacher's protégé post, and slap him in the face directly.

However, this method is always not so open-minded, and when the big guy arrives in that position, except for Yan Song, who doesn't want to show his old face, he rarely accepts protégés at will, because he is afraid of falling into a bad reputation for forming a party for personal gain.

However, the relationship between the protégés of the seat and the master established through the examination is different, because this way is above board, and the government and the opposition are recognized and have a positive attitude.

At the moment when Menzi accepted the protégé's post, he looked at the three of them and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the groom, a few of you came late, and you visited the two adults inside in the morning of the same year." ”

So the three of them were led into the door by Menzi.

Outside the official hall, there were already five tributes waiting there, and behind the curtain in the official hall, there were several voices talking, and it seemed that there were already candidates inside to visit the two examiners.

So Lin Yanchao and the three of them waited outside the door with the other five tributes.

The people on both sides are not familiar with each other, but they did not rush forward to get acquainted with each other, you must know that at the grace banquet after the middle jinshi, it is the time for the same year to make friends with each other.

At present, the main thing is to visit the owner, thank the other party for their kindness, if a few people are outside the door in a hurry to cling to each other, it will leave a bad impression on the owner.

Therefore, the people on both sides just greeted each other from a distance, even if they had said hello.
