Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 392
Regarding Du Jinning's attitude, Liang Xiankuan not only didn't think it was disobedient, but agreed with it very much.

He thought for a while and said, "Let's count it as [-]% profit."

Du Jinning is not involved in this business, so he doesn't know how much profit it is to build a house.But Liang Xiankuan knew that according to the [-]% share, Du Jinning would get more profit than selling the design drawings directly.Liang Xiankuan was unwilling to take advantage of Du Jinning.The Liang family has a lot of ways to make money, so there's no need to make Du Jinning and Du Jinning no friends for this little money.

"Okay." Du Jinning is also not a fussy person, it doesn't matter if there is more or less.

"Are all your craftsmen trained by themselves? Did they sign the contract of sale?" she asked.

Liang Xiankuan shook his head: "Not necessarily. Some are handed down from our family's family craftsmen; They are also willing to attach themselves to us."

"So, I would like to recommend Mo Jingming who built my house to you." Du Jinning introduced Mo Jingming's situation, and said, "I mainly think that this person is different from ordinary craftsmen, like someone who has read books. , you can easily understand my design intentions, unlike other craftsmen who are difficult to communicate. Of course, because your craftsmen work with him and have more contact with him, you know better about his good and bad. If you think he Well, you can consider taking him into your place; if it’s not good, forget it, as long as I didn’t say anything.”

Liang Xiankuan nodded: "Okay, I understand, I will write back to you when the time comes."

Du Jinning waved his hand: "You don't need to reply to me, that's all I'll say. If you want to solicit, you can send someone to talk to him; if you don't, this topic will be dropped."

"it is good."

After the two talked about business, Liang Xiankuan asked Du Jinning to have lunch at his house. Du Jinning told Liang Xiankuan about everyone's imitation examination room in the academy, and suggested that he also set up a stinky name at home to try the sour taste , and a few sticks of incense made by her as a gift, and then I took my leave and left.

Because the college exam is just around the corner, and this exam is so important, even Du Jinning dare not take it lightly.Next, Du Jinning not only went to the new house to inspect carefully, but also visited Guan Jiaze and Xu Chengyuan for a while, and planned to calm down and read and write articles, but he didn't want to hear Jiang Bei shouting outside the courtyard two days later, saying that Xu Chengyuan came to visit her up.

Du Jinning felt strange, and hurried to the living room, only to find that Qi Muyuan was already present.Besides him, there is also Yao Shuqi who led Xu Chengyuan over.

She said hello, then sat down and asked Xu Chengyuan, "What's wrong with brother-in-law, is something wrong?"

Xu Chengyuan handed a post to Du Jinning: "Qi Siyu, a talented scholar from the prefecture, invited the chiefs of all prefectures and counties to participate in the poetry meeting. Since I don't know where you live, I sent the post to the county hall."

"Qi Siyu? Poetry meeting?" Du Jinning took the post and flipped through it, then turned to ask Qi Muyuan, "Do you know who this Qi Siyu belongs to Mr. Qi? Why is there a poetry meeting at this time?"

Qi Muyuan shook his head: "I don't know."

He was in the capital two years ago, and has stayed in Lishui County since he came back.Although it is not difficult to inquire about the affairs of Fucheng, he is too lazy to inquire about matters that have nothing to do with him.

Du Jinning raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want to worship Mr. Qi as your teacher? Why don't you ask about his family's situation?"

Qi Muyuan shook his head: "That was my grandfather's plan. I don't want to be a teacher myself. Especially that Mr. Qi, he accepts anyone who is a bit talented. I don't want to be one of his three thousand disciples."

Du Jinning applauded Qi Muyuan's decision very much.

She turned her head and asked Xu Chengyuan: "Does brother-in-law know who Qi Siyu is?"

Xu Chengyuan shook his head: "I don't know," he pointed to the post, "This post was sent by his servants, not by him himself."

Du Jinning nodded, gathered the post in his hand, threw it on the table, and said to Xu Chengyuan: "I will not participate in this poetry meeting. Did the Qi family leave your address? I will send Wang Fu to send a reply post."

Before Xu Chengyuan could speak, Yao Shuqi said from the side: "Master, if you are free, you and Master Qi should attend this poetry meeting."

Only then did Du Jinning recall that Yao Shuqi was the shopkeeper of the teahouse and bookstore. There were many scholars and idlers who could read in these two places. He should be the most informed about this kind of information.

"Why?" she asked with interest.

Qi Muyuan and Xu Chengyuan also looked at Yao Shuqi.

"This Qi Siyu is the grandson of Mr. Qi Yuan Daoqi. He is quite famous in Fucheng, and he was also the head of the government in the government examination the year before last. He was ill and did not participate in the last hospital examination. He should follow up in a few days. You take part in this college examination together. Because he is the grandson of Mr. Qi, he is also very talented, and has many fans in Fucheng. If the two young masters want to enter the government school after the college exam, it is better not to offend him, because Mr. Qi is the most famous gentleman in the school."

After hearing this, Du Jinning exchanged a glance with Qi Muyuan.

"What do you think?" she asked.

Qi Muyuan glanced at her, his expression was still calm, but his eyes were very soft as he had already guessed what Du Jinning was thinking, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "Don't worry about it."

Du Jinning smiled immediately, and his whole body stretched out like a flower: "I think so too."

Yao Shuqi and Xu Chengyuan were puzzled.

Yao Shuqi asked suspiciously: "Master, what are you..."

"Is he arrogant and thinks highly of himself?" Du Jinning asked Yao Shuqi.

Yao Shuqi nodded: "That's true."

"Then it's over?" Du Jinning's smile was tinged with sarcasm, "Why do you think he is holding a poetry meeting at this time? Isn't it just to fight for fame and grab the title of the first case in the court? He is Mr. Qi's grandson, and He is a well-known talented scholar in Fucheng, or the head of the government's case, with a lot of halo. And since he dares to hold a poetry meeting at this time, the poetry must be very good. At that time, whether it is for his grandfather's reputation, or his talent and learning, and He is the host, the No.1 of this poetry meeting must be his. And we..."

She pointed to her own Qi Muyuan: "It's just the green leaves to set off his red flower. Then, this poem will be the foundation, and when we take the exam, our essays will be on par with his. When each has its own merits, what do you say? Who will the judges choose as the head of the case?"

Yao Shuqi subconsciously said, "That must be him."

"That's not it. Unless our rankings in the initial test and the re-test are much better than his, otherwise the chief case of this court will be in his pocket."

"But..." Xu Chengyuan asked puzzledly from the side, "Since he's the one who takes the court's case, what's the difference between going and not going? If you don't go, even if you get in the top ten in the exam, you'll still have to offend him." You may not be able to enter the government school; even if you do, you will probably be excluded. Why bother to offend him?"
