Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 265

But Du Jinning waved his hands again and again, bowed his hands and said: "Brother, don't say that, the county lord is just looking at my young age, and said some words of encouragement. There are many people who are better than me. Yes, how dare I be called the head of the county case? Brother, don't make fun of me with this."

The tall and thin man also knew that what he said just now was a bit reckless.

Everyone still likes humble people.Although they were a certain distance away from the position of County Magistrate Liu, there was still a guard standing not far away.If his words reached Magistrate Liu and Magistrate Liu felt that Du Jinning was arrogant and canceled the county case that was originally intended for him, then he would be guilty of a serious crime.

The chief of the county case is not only the glory of Du Jinning alone, but also the glory of Boyue Academy.If he lost it because of his unrestrained speech, a little attitude from those people in Boyue Academy would be enough for him to drink a pot.

He hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, just kidding, I was just kidding. The county lord is doing our best, so naturally he has to encourage him."

On the other side, Yan Kong's mood was like a roller coaster ride, how happy he was at first, now how disappointed.So listening to the thin and tall man flattering Du Jinning felt particularly harsh.

With a sneer on his face, he said: "This brother is not joking. Junior brother Du is our mountain chief's high apprentice, since he didn't destroy the test paper, then he is the chief case in this county."

Hearing what he said, the others all showed weird expressions, and looked at Yan Kong with some disdain.

Students in one class in one college, even if they usually don't have a good relationship, shouldn't make trouble like this.This is related to the reputation of his academy.It is conceivable that a person who disregards the overall situation of the academy because of personal grievances is narrow-minded.

And even if Du Jinning couldn't get the county case, with the words of county magistrate Liu, it would definitely be fine to pass the county examination.With his real talent and knowledge, it is not difficult for the government examination institute to think about it.Knowing that his classmate passed the county examination, that he would be a child and a scholar, and that he was so young and had a bright future, Yan Kong didn't know how to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with him, and even made trouble face to face. They really didn't know what to say. Is the person stupid, or is he stupid?

The person in front of Yan Kong quickly moved a few steps to the side, away from Yan Kong.

Seeing the eyes of these people, Yan Kong regretted that he should not lose his composure in public.

He glanced at Du Jinning, and wanted to say a few words to save him, but his lips twitched, and he couldn't bear to say a soft word in public.

Du Jinning never paid much attention to Yan Kong.At this time, he didn't care about what he said.She really doesn't care if the case is not the case, as long as the county examination can be passed smoothly.Of course, it would be even better if you can live up to the high expectations of the gentlemen and get a county case.But it's not based on her wishes, it's useless to think too much.

Her attention was always on the examination room, and she hoped that someone would hand in the papers quickly and gather ten people.

At this time, she saw a person who looked like a scholar coming out of a room with a test basket and holding an umbrella, apparently to hand in the test papers. She smiled happily: "Finally, we have gathered ten people, so we can go out."

Standing here and blowing the cold wind is really suffering.

After hearing this, several people turned their heads to look over, and when they saw the man standing in front of County Magistrate Liu, they were all happy: "That's it."

If that person was able to hand in the test paper at this time, it was naturally not because the test paper was dirty, but because the test paper was finished.Finishing the test papers in such a short period of time, and handing in the papers in advance, naturally has confidence in yourself and is a good tester.

Sure enough, County Magistrate Liu took the man's paper and looked at it for a while, then nodded pleasantly, and said a few words to him.Judging by the happy look on the scholar's face, he thought he had won the prize, and he might even compete with Du Jinning for the title of the county's chief case.

Seeing that the man was seventeen or eighteen years old, the tall and thin man was about the same age as Yan Kong, and was also wearing a blue muslin robe, so he asked Du Jinning curiously: "Is this also your classmate?"

Du Jinning shook his head: "No, not from our academy."

She has a good memory, and she can recognize all the students in the academy, even the children in Class Ding, and can even call them by their names.Not to mention the B and A classes she stayed in.

This person is obviously not a student of Bo Yue Academy.

The tall, thin man is curious and familiar.When the scholar approached, he first cupped his hands to congratulate, and then asked: "I see that you are very handsome, I wonder which college or private school did you study in?"

The man also bowed back and said with a smile: "My father is a foreigner, and I have been staying there all the time. I came back to my hometown to take the exam. I didn't study locally."

Everyone was stunned.

The scientific examination was to return to his hometown. The reason why Qi Bokun brought Qi Muyuan back was avoidance in the official circles. Another reason was to accompany Qi Muyuan to participate in the scientific examination.

However, officials in this dynasty adopt the avoidance system of origin, that is, people from this province are not allowed to return to their own province to serve as officials.

Officials take their families with them to take office, and the children naturally study in the place where they work, and then return to their place of origin to take the exam when it comes to scientific examinations.

Such officials' children are taught by Jinshi or their father who was born with Jinshi, and their knowledge is generally not too bad.

The tall and thin man turned his head and gave Du Jinning a worried look.

Du Jinning has a strong competitor here.In terms of background, this second-generation official is no worse than him, maybe even stronger.Compared with knowledge, it can be seen from the expression of County Magistrate Liu just now that this person did well in the exam.

But Du Jinning didn't think about anything, he just hoped to play the top card soon.

The number of admissions for the county examination is about 50, judging from her ranking in the academy, she can always occupy one of the 50 people.

The guard who opened the door saw that ten candidates had gathered together, first went out to give orders, and then opened the door.

"Di di di da di..." The suona sound arranged at the door immediately blew, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums.

"Let's play the top card." Someone shouted, and many people with umbrellas came from all directions.These are the relatives and friends of the candidates.

The rain was still falling, and the umbrella was given to Liang Xiankuan again. Du Jinning came out of the county school, worried that he would not be able to go to Xu Chengyuan's house to meet his mother, when he saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

She quickly waved to him in surprise and asked, "Qi Muyuan, why are you here?"

Qi Muyuan had a warm smile on his usually expressionless face at this time: "I guess you will come out when the top card is played. Anyway, it's okay to sit there, so come and have a look."

"Ah, you are really sending charcoal in a timely manner." Du Jinning smiled, and ran into Qi Muyuan's umbrella.
