Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 421
Taking the address given by Lu Jiuyuan, Du Jinning said with some embarrassment: "I don't know which academy I'm going to study, and I haven't decided where to live yet."

Zhao Liang, who had been silent all this time, interjected: "Which academy do you want to study in, I will write you a recommendation letter." But then he laughed again, "I was confused. With your little Sanyuan's name, there is no academy that is Not rushing to get yours."

In fact, when Du Jinning rejected Lu Jiuyuan on the grounds that his mother could not leave this place, he wanted to recommend Du Jinning to his teacher Qi Yuandao.Later, Du Jinning said that he would not take anyone else as his teacher except Guan Lehe, so he dismissed this idea.Saying this now is just to sell Du Jinning.

Du Jinning had such talent and talent at a young age, if it wasn't for heaven's jealousy of talents, it would be a matter of time before he got ahead.Moreover, with his appearance, talent, and conduct, it is easy for those royal family and nobles to catch his eyes.He still doesn't know what height he will climb to in the future.It is always right to have a good relationship with him earlier.

With this idea in mind, he stood up, went to the desk and wrote two letters, then walked over and handed the unsealed letter to Du Jinning: "This is my recommendation, the name is blank, and the name of the academy is also blank .It doesn’t matter if it’s for your own use or for others to use. At that time, you only need to fill in the title and the student’s name.”

He is a student of politics, and no academy here would dare not buy his face.Even if what he recommends is a pile of rubbish, the academy has to hold its nose and accept it.

"Thank you, Master Zhao." Du Jinning said gratefully.

She doesn't need to recommend it herself, but Xu Chengyuan needs it.Zhao Liang's gift can be regarded as sent to her heart.

Seeing that Zhao Liang gave the gift, Lu Jiuyuan felt a little embarrassed.After talking for a long time, I didn't give Du Jinning any benefits.In any case, he gained a lot from Du Jinning's two articles.Since Du Jinning was unwilling to follow him to Beishan Academy, he had to express his heart now.

He turned his head and gave orders to the servants, who left the house and hurried to the backyard.After Lu Jiuyuan chatted with Du Jinning for a few words, he ran back panting and handed Lu Jiuyuan a small box.

Lu Jiuyuan opened the box and took a look, then closed it and handed it to Du Jinning: "I was inspired by your two articles in terms of knowledge, but I can't give you a gift like your teacher Zhao Zuo. This is what I like." An inkstone and two inksticks, as well as two books I wrote, are given to you as souvenirs."

"It's good for a gentleman not to take away others. How can I accept such a heavy gift from Master Lu? You should keep the inkstone and Moge Master Lu for your own use. I just accept the books." Du Jinning quickly declined.

Where is Lu Jiuyuan willing to take it back?The two refused for a while, and finally, under Zhao Liang's persuasion, Du Jinning accepted Lu Jiuyuan's things.

Lu Jiuyuan and Zhao Liang said a few words of encouragement to her before letting Du Jinning leave.

Du Jinning walked out of the gate of the tribute courtyard and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Du Jinning, are you out?" Guan Jiaze's voice came over.

Du Jinning turned his head and saw Guan Jiaze, Qi Muyuan, Xu Chengyuan, and Liang Xiankuan standing there, obviously waiting for her.

"Why don't you go back?" Du Jinning asked, feeling warm in his heart.These people were indeed waiting for her.

"I'm not worried about you." Guan Jiaze said, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Du Jinning shook his head, "It's just a test for me."

Everyone was relieved.

Liang Xiankuan looked sharply at the thing in Du Jinning's hand: "What is this?"

They visited the teacher today, but they didn't bring anything.Now Du Jinning is carrying two things in his hand.

"Uh, a gift from the two seat teachers." Du Jinning said.

Guan Jiaze gave a thumbs up: "You are awesome. People give you gifts from the teacher. It's good for you, let the teacher give you gifts."

Everyone looked at Du Jinning with admiration.

"By the way, I just read your article. How did you write such an article?" Liang Xiankuan asked.

Du Jinning was taken aback, then turned his head to look at the place where the rankings were posted, and saw some people gathered there, discussing something against the paper pasted on the wall.

In the past, the top three articles were posted when the list was published.But there is no first article and no second, some people who write their own articles are not very good, or even have a bad reputation, but criticize other people's articles and pick out many faults. He is the judge who has no eyes.For this reason, a lot of tongues and storms have been set off.

Later, in order to avoid such unnecessary troubles, all the provinces and universities jointly postponed the test papers for one day, and posted them after all the candidates had visited the teacher.At this time, those candidates who failed the rankings had already gone back, and those who came to read the test papers intentionally were only a small number; and the candidates who were selected did not dare to talk nonsense, for fear of offending Mr. lost.

In this way, there will be much less criticism of injustice.

The first is Du Jinning himself, the second is Qi Muyuan, and the third is Zhou Zhi.Du Jinning didn't have much interest in going to join in the fun, and he didn't provoke the students who read the article to ask questions.

She gave Liang Xiankuan a white look: "You said it as if you were reading my article for the first time. Okay, let's go back." She said and left the entrance of the Gongyuan first.

Qi Muyuan followed up a few steps, and said, "Go and pack your things and move to live with me."

Seeing Du Jinning looking back, he added: "My grandfather returned to Lishui County early this morning."

"Oh." Du Jinning had no objection.It's really convenient to live in Qi Muyuan's place. Not only is the environment good and life is convenient, but it's also close to the new house, so it's convenient for her to check and inspect the project of the new house.

Guan Jiaze pouted and shouted, "I'm going to live too."

"Okay, no problem." Qi Muyuan said, "There are many yards. Liang Xiankuan and Xu Chengyuan can live in without any problem."

"I'll forget it, I have something to do at home." Liang Xiankuan shook his head.

Xu Chengyuan has always been unwilling to take advantage of others, and he opened his mouth to refuse, when Du Jinning said: "Brother-in-law, you should move in. This way it will be convenient for us to go anywhere, and we don't need to send someone to call you."

Xu Chengyuan couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to agree.

Although Guan Jiaze said he was going to the capital, the weather is too hot now, and if he leaves at this time, he will easily suffer from heat stroke and get sick on the road, so their departure time was postponed to the beginning of September.Because of this, he was not in a hurry to go back to the county after the college test, but planned to follow Du Jinning and the others to wander around.

Next, Xu Chengyuan took Wang Fulai's mule cart back to the county hall to pack his things, and Guan Jiaze did the same. Du Jinning took Qi Muyuan and Liang Xiankuan back to the small courtyard to pack their things, and then took Qi Muyuan's carriage to Qi Mansion.

At noon, the five of them had a meal together in Qi Mansion.
