Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 424
"That won't work. You have to give [-]%. I also hope that you can spend more time and energy on drawing furniture patterns. If you don't give less, why don't you want to draw? After all, you can write more than that if you just write a storybook." Money." Liang Xiankuan said.

From this point of view, it is true, and there is no point in pushing around for some money.Du Jinning nodded and said, "That's fine."

Seeing these two people discussing business back and forth, Guan Jiaze and Xu Chengyuan, who had been standing silently outside the door, were stunned: Are these two still scholars?Why is this way of doing business more skillful than old merchants?And looking at it like this, it's obviously not the first time we've talked, and it's just going straight to the point, without even a foreshadowing.They don't fit in at all.

Guan Jiaze was fine, but Xu Chengyuan was completely shocked.He suddenly felt that it was really weak for him to bury his head in reading all day, and spend a little more time writing a storybook and drawing a few comic strips to earn that little money.Think about Du Fangfei's generous dowry, and look at Du Jinning's small three yuan all the way, and make the business bigger and bigger, making more and more money. The newly built house is like a fairyland in a dream. Moving his family to Fucheng and borrowing Du Jinning's house, Xu Chengyuan deeply felt that he was a waste.

No, he also wants to do business, and he also wants to make money.He can't let his mother work all day to make money, and let his wife take the dowry to support the family.Reading is the most important thing, and scholars don't talk about money, that's a joke.Look at Du Jinning, studying and making money are both right. Does he have the nerve to hold a book and do nothing all day long, leaving his old mother and wife to work hard for their livelihood?

A few people were going to the side hall where Qi's family had dinner, when Guanqi came running panting: "Young master, young masters, all young masters, my young master told you to go to the hall quickly. The professor of the government school is here."

"What?" Several people were taken aback.

Looking at each other, Du Jinning said, "Let's go and have a look."

Several people entered the main courtyard, and before they reached the steps of the main house, they heard loud laughter from the room.As soon as he stepped into the threshold of the hall, a middle-aged man sitting at the top stood up, looked at Du Jinning who was walking in the front, and said, "This is Xiao Sanyuan, right?"

"Student Du Jinning, I have met the professor." Du Jinning hurried a few steps and bowed deeply.

"Hey, don't be too polite." Tang Zhao personally helped Du Jinning up, walked over and looked at everyone, and said with a smile, "Lishui County really has talents, all of them are young talents and extraordinary .”

Du Jinning and the others said some polite words, and sat down among the guests.

"Master Xuezheng and Mr. Lu Shan went to the school to inspect the school in the afternoon. I rushed over after seeing them off, but I didn't pay attention to the time." Tang Zhao explained the reason why he came at this time, Then he looked at Du Jinning and said, "Master Zhao and Mr. Lu Shan have praised Du's chief. Mr. Zhao has been in charge of academic affairs for two years, and I have never seen him praise a student so much. Mr. Lu, Mr. Peng Mr. Shi and Mr. Shi are also the same. It can be seen that Du Anshou is extremely talented and brilliant in writing."

Du Jinning quickly stood up and bowed: "Master Zhao, Mr. Lu Shanzhang, Mr. Peng, and Mr. Shi praised it absurdly, and the students were terrified."

Tang Zhao waved his hand: "Don't be too modest." He signaled Du Jinning to sit down, and then he continued, "I am here to personally invite Du Anshou and several talents to study in our school to show the sincerity of our school. How do you feel?"

He has been a professor for seven or eight years, and he has seen countless cases.It was always the head of the case and the examinees who came to ask him to enroll, and this was the first time he asked students to enroll in reverse.So when he said this, although he had a smile on his face, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

But who is Du Jinning so talented that Zhao Liang, Lu Jiuyuan and others kept praising him, and Zhao Liang also hinted that he should invite Du Jinning to enroll?And according to what Zhao Liang said, Du Jinning didn't necessarily want to go to a government school, he might have other plans.

Hearing this, he panicked.

If little Sanyuan went to Nanlu Academy to study, then their school would become a joke.

Not just small three yuan.There are also friends of Xiao Sanyuan.

Qi Muyuan is No.2, Liang Xiankuan is No.7, and Guan Jiaze is No.10. Like Du Jinning, they all belong to Boyue Academy.If they influence each other and run to Nanlu Academy one by one, the prefectural school will be a big joke.Based on the age of Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan and the rankings of these three exams, it is expected that the township exam two years later will also be a strong contender for Xie Yuan.At that time, one of them will really get to know Yuan, and the reputation of Nanlu Academy may be on the same level as that of Fu Xue.

Lishui County has produced many senior officials in the past two years.Guan Jiaze's father became a member of the third rank three years ago, and Liang Xiankuan's father was promoted to the third rank just a while ago; Qi Muyuan's grandfather, Qi Bokun, just stepped down from his position as Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Although he returned to Lishui, the influence is still there, maybe It will recover someday.In the past two years, Boyue Academy has also improved a lot. Four of the top ten students in the college examination are students of Boyue Academy.It can be seen that it has become a treasure land of geomantic omen.If Lishui County supports Nanlu Academy because these four people entered Nanlu, and the students of Boyue Academy will follow their seniors to enter Nanlu, then the school will be more than just a joke.When the time comes, how will he explain to Master Xuezheng?

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat, and he was very grateful for Zhao Liang's suggestion.So he didn't care about his shame, and he didn't care about it getting dark, so he hurried over in a carriage to invite someone.

Now seeing the neat five people present here, he secretly rejoiced in his heart that he was willing to give up his old face to come to invite him.

Here Tang Zhao was thinking all kinds of things, while Du Jinning and the others were making eye contact over there.

Seeing that everyone nodded slightly wherever he looked, Du Jinning smiled and said to Tang Zhao: "Thank you, Professor, for your invitation. We are planning to go to the prefectural school early tomorrow morning to submit application papers."

As she said that, she pointed at Qi Muyuan: "I think Qi Muyuan already knows Professor Tang, he is No.2 in the college examination." Then she said the rankings of the people present. It was not a good time to miss him, so I introduced him together.

When Xu Chengyuan was finally introduced, she said: "This is my eldest brother-in-law Xu Chengyuan, who ranked No. 20 in the college examination. He didn't make the top ten, but I have a letter of recommendation written by Mr. Zhao, who studies politics. I wonder if my eldest brother-in-law can accept it Are you lucky enough to study in a government school?"

"Okay, okay, no problem, no problem." Tang Zhaolian said.

What Du Jinning said just now was very face-saving, and he didn't let him lose his old face. This has already made him overjoyed.Moreover, Zhao Liang was willing to send a letter of recommendation to Du Jinning, so he was so optimistic about this young man, naturally he would not go against this promising young man.What's more, even without this point, with Zhao Liang's recommendation letter, it is impossible for him to reject Xu Chengyuan.

　Woohoo, hit me up, I'm confused.The editor said that there was a push on the 19th. I thought it was the explosion on the 19th. Who knew that the 19th was the book city’s limit exemption, and the explosion was after the lower limit exemption in the early morning of the 20th.It's also because I couldn't hold back seeing everyone's urging, I told you too early, I'm really sorry everyone.You must hold back in the future and talk about it after you get the exact news. In the early morning of the 20th, don't wait, sometimes the website will be delayed, and the time of the update is uncertain, or it will be updated after midnight, or it may be delayed by 10 minutes, half an hour or an hour.Oppose that I can't sleep anymore, please wait.
