Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 394 Qi Siyu
Du Jinning originally wanted to go in and have a look, but she was discouraged when she saw that the door was closed and there were soldiers guarding the door.

Qi Muyuan once visited this Gongyuan with his grandfather when he came back with Qi Bokun two years ago.Seeing that Du Jinning was very curious about the Gongyuan at this time, he introduced: "The Mingyuan Tower is in the middle of it, and there are watchtowers in each of the four corners. If something happens during the scientific research, such as a fire, the officers and soldiers can quickly deal with it."

He pointed to the inside: "On the central axis, there are in turn the Grand Hall, the Office of Officials, the Office of Mifeng, the Office of Interpretation, the Office of Transcription, and the Office of Records. There are thousands of houses on the east and west sides."

What Du Jinning is most concerned about is the situation of the dormitory: "Is the dormitory dilapidated?" Don't be like the one specially arranged by Boyue Academy, with a broken roof above and insects and ants running rampant below.

"Because the imperial court attaches great importance to imperial examinations, and there are chief examiners and academic officials sent by the imperial court for each courtyard examination and rural examination, the officials in charge naturally dare not ignore the Gongyuan too much. On the surface, it seems that except for the narrow examination room, other It's okay." Speaking of this, he frowned, "But they put away the bedding and didn't put it in the test house. So I couldn't see it at the time."

Du Jinning looked at him sympathetically.

It is really painful for people with cleanliness to use the bedding that others have used, and there may be fleas and lice on it.Not to mention Qi Muyuan, even she who has suffered a lot can't bear it.

"Tomorrow, you remember to wear the clothes I told you. It's not so hot early in the morning, so you can get over it after wearing it." She reminded.

Qi Muyuan nodded.

"Okay, let's go back. Come back tomorrow morning." He said.

"I'm going to pass by the entrance of your alley tomorrow, and then you will wait for me at the entrance of the alley, and we will go there together."

"Row."

The next day, Du Jinning still got up in the middle of the night, and when he had breakfast and brought the lantern to the entrance of the alley, Qi Muyuan had already led Guanqi and waited there.

Looking at Wang Fulai who was following Du Jinning, Qi Muyuan said to Du Jinning, "Let's go faster, I have something to tell you."

Hearing this, Guanqi immediately slowed down.Seeing Wang Fulai foolishly still wanting to follow, he quickly gave him a hand: "Go slowly." He pointed his chin forward as he spoke.Wang Fu came to understand, and quickly slowed down.

Seeing that the two were far away and there was no one around, Qi Muyuan whispered to Du Jinning, "The name of the examiner this time is Lu Jiuyuan, the head of Beishan Academy in Hunan Province. He has no obvious factional tendencies. They are scholars. Due to time constraints and their itinerary being kept secret, we only received news last night, so that's all we know."

Du Jinning was full of gratitude, stopped and bowed to Qi Muyuan: "Thank you."

In order to avoid cheating, the examiners are temporarily appointed by the superiors, and they usually arrive at the examination place after the college examination starts. Even Xue Zheng Zhao Liang didn't know who his partner was before today.The Qi family was able to find out the name of the examiner's name at this time, which is already very good.

The most important thing is that Du Jinning is the head of the government's case, and Qi Muyuan is also the head of the government's case. They also have their own styles in writing articles, which are comparable.The two are strong contenders for the court's top case.Even so, Qi Muyuan was still willing to tell her after receiving such important news, which is already very commendable.You know, this was asked by Qibo Kunte for him, and there is absolutely no need for him to share it.

Qi Muyuan waved his hand, motioning Du Jinning to move on, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that this person didn't publish much articles, so he didn't study it properly."

"No." Du Jinning nodded in agreement.

This is Wang Jiuyuan. As the head of an academy, and he is dedicated to learning, he should be well-known and have written many articles, but they have never heard of it.

However, in this era, cultural exchanges were rare and the dissemination was not widespread.For example, scholars in the north did not know what famous poems and essays they wrote, unless some candidates who took part in the general examination brought them back from Beijing.

If Wang Jiuyuan stayed in the north before and only recently came to Hunan Province to be a mountain chief, it is normal for them not to have read his articles.

By the time they spoke, they had already reached the vicinity of the Gongyuan.It was the beginning of the month, and there was no moon in the sky. The candidates were all carrying lanterns, and they were so dim that they couldn't see their faces clearly.

"Du Jinning." A voice came from the side, and soon a person rushed to Du Jinning.

Du Jinning took a look, but it was Fang Shaohua whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Fang Shaohua didn't need Du Jinning to open his mouth, so he continued on his own: "Oh, it's a good thing I met you, otherwise I don't know where to find you. There are many people here, and I can't tell who is who. When the time comes, I have to You must die in a hurry."

Du Jinning was about to ask him how he recognized himself just now, when he heard a strange voice from the side: "You are Du Jinning?" While speaking, a lantern was lifted high and shone on Du Jinning's face.

Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan's expressions changed.

This kind of behavior is no different from shining a flashlight directly on someone's face in modern times. It is very rude.

Qi Muyuan had already pulled Du Jinning when the lantern was shining, and pulled her to the right behind him, frowning and looking at the person opposite: "Who are you?"

The reason why the word "men" is used is because the other party is not just one person, but a group of people.Standing at the front surrounded by everyone was a young man in his early twenties wearing a moon-white gown.He was pretty handsome, but both Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning didn't like those slightly sullen eyes.

A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old standing next to this young man said: "This is Qi Siyu, the great talent in our prefecture, Young Master Qi. Could it be that the two of you have never heard of his name?" There was a strong sense of ridicule in the words.

It turned out to be the Qi Siyu who was humiliated!

Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan looked at each other.

She raised her hand to Qi Siyu and cupped her hands: "So it's Brother Qi. I was lucky to be invited by Brother Qi some time ago, but I have no time to go because of ordinary business. Please forgive me."

Qi Siyu ignored Du Jinning, his eyes fell on Qi Muyuan, his tone was much warmer than when he asked Du Jinning just now: "Are you Qi Muyuan, Brother Qi?"

Qi Muyuan was very angry at Qi Siyu's behavior of ignoring Du Jinning.

He ignored Qi Siyu, and said to Du Jinning, "Go, don't keep Guan Jiaze and the others waiting." He took Du Jinning's arm and walked past Qi Siyu.

Qi Siyu didn't say anything, and those who followed him didn't dare to stop him, they just watched Du Jinning and his party leave.

Qi Siyu's eyes became more gloomy, but his tone remained the same, and he said lightly, "Let's go." He took the lead to go in another direction.

The person who introduced Qi Siyu spat hard at Du Jinning and his background: "Bah, what is it, shameless."
