In the first month of the lunar year, one event followed another, and Mrs. Gu Sr. privately discussed with Lin Youning. They decided that after entering March, they would go and stay at Pure Path Temple for a few days.
As the first month passed, the weather gradually warmed up.
The thick winter jackets were replaced with lighter ones. Lin Youning still had Shanmoi inquire about the Lin Mansion's affairs, and the news Shanmoi brought back came intermittently.
Mr. Lin had taken a position as a clerk at the Imperial College, so the family stayed in the Capital.
The position of a clerk at the Imperial College was a seventh-rank official position; the Imperial College was the highest institution of learning, but the position of a clerk involved managing student records and held no real power.
If there were any promotions in the future, it would be to the position of Vice Director of the Imperial College, also a seventh-rank official, which could grant some authority.
