Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 428 Acknowledge your ancestors and return to your clan?
"Yes, young master." Although Lu Wen said that his attitude was considered respectful when he came in just now, the respect at this time is from the heart, which is completely different from when he came in.

Du Jinning looked at Shi Shaocong again: "You go back and write, just like Lu Wen."

"Yes."

Seeing that the background of the two disappeared under the steps, Du Jinning turned to Yao Shuqi: "I'll go back to the county tomorrow."

Yao Shuqi was very surprised: "Go back so soon?"

Du Jinning nodded: "Young Master Qi and Young Master Guan accompany me like this, I always feel bad. Anyway, the big things are almost done."

"What about the furnishings in the room?" Yao Shuqi asked.

When the time comes to move the furniture in, those curtains, vases and other decorations need to be added. These are the things that can best reflect the owner's taste. Yao Shuqi dare not go out of the kitchen and buy these things for Du Jinning.

"I'm just going to tell you about this." Du Jinning said, "Mother Tao, I chatted with her for a while, and I think her taste is not bad. You let her divide the hall and the courtyard where we are going to live according to her ideas. Decorate it. I will bring my wife and the others up after 20 days, and first live in a small courtyard near the government school. If the house is not furnished as you like, you can change it slowly, there is no rush."

Yao Shuqi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Du Jinning's evaluation of Tao's mother was not bad, and even handed over such a matter to her.

Mother Tao was one of the servants he bought back. She used to work as a maid beside the head wife, but after she got married, she was promoted to be the mother in charge. She was capable and shrewd.If you really want to work in the Du family, it will be a help for the Chen family's housekeeper in the future.

In this way, Yao Shuqi will be the housekeeper, and Tao's mother will be the housekeeper, so the burden on him is much lighter, and someone can share the house with him.

……

On the second day, Du Jinning returned to the county with Qi Muyuan and Guan Jiaze.Liang Xiankuan also wanted to go back to deal with business, so he simply walked together.

Liang Xiankuan also knew how to ride a horse, but in order to take care of Guan Jiaze, everyone chose to ride a horse-drawn carriage, which made Guan Jiaze swear that he must learn to ride a horse when he returned to the county.

Their rankings and honors in the hospital examinations have long been known to everyone by the county guards.

At this time, when Du Jinning came back, everyone rushed to the door to congratulate him.Du Jinning first visited Guan Lehe and others, and then held a three-day feast at home.

On the first day, not only Guan Lehe, Zheng Shanzhang and others came, but also the county magistrate; on the second day, some clerks and squires from the yamen came, as well as classmates who were taking the exam together; For three days, I plan to invite some people from Taohua Village and everyone in Zhuangzi.

Du Yinsheng and Du Chensheng, as elders of Du's family, planned to come over for three days to help Du Jinning organize and entertain guests.

When Du Yinsheng heard that Du Jinning had obtained the first news of the court's case, he couldn't sleep for several days.When treating guests on the first day, because the guests were too important, he suppressed his excitement and didn't talk to Du Jinning.

On the second day, when the number of guests was less, he couldn't help finding a free time, and said to Du Jinning: "Brother Ning, you have won the junior three yuan, this honor is not even worse than the status of Juren. You say, Should we go back to Fucheng and recognize our ancestors?"

This idea took him a long time to decide on.

In fact, it is not a big deal to get the title of a scholar. If you can get the status of Juren or even Jieyuan in Du Jinning to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan, you will be more proud.

But Du Yinsheng thought, how could the provincial examination be so easy?If Du Jinning didn't pass the exam, or if he passed the exam after his death, then he would never see that day.

But people often have it, but the small three yuan is not common.Taking advantage of Du Jinning's 12-year-old Xiao Sanyuan to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, the one in Fucheng will be shocked.Later, when he went underground to meet his father, he could also confess to his father.

Du Jinning knew that Du Yinsheng wanted to go back to honor his ancestors, but she didn't want to.She will stay in Fucheng in the future.If you recognize that relative, don't bother too much.

If that family is not kind and comes to make things difficult for her, does she have to deal with other people's troubles even if she has nothing to do?Does she think her life is too leisurely?If that family is considered to be of good character, will she still have to support that family when she is promising?Moreover, she is a young person, if the elders of that family make decisions for her under the banner of "for your own good" and directly book her a marriage, she will have nowhere to cry.

Using Ke's wife as an excuse to bluff people is useful to the woman's family, but it is not only useless to the Du family, but it will attract many "well-intentioned" persuasion.Is it annoying to "buzzing" in your ears all day long, even forcing you to get married?

Anyway, if you recognize that relative, it is tantamount to finding a louse to scratch your head, which is asking for trouble.

But it's not easy for her to tell Du Yinsheng these words.Her modern life concept of "being alone" is completely incommunicable with the ancients who had the idea of ​​"Da Ze Guang Zong Yao Zong, benefiting the tribe".When Du Yinsheng cried and asked her to be considerate of him, and begged her to help him fulfill his great-grandfather's last wish, would she answer or not?
She could ignore Du Chensheng, but she couldn't be cold towards Du Yinsheng who had been kind to her.

So the refusal has to be tactful.

"Uncle, don't you have confidence in me?" she asked.

Du Yinsheng asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

"Do you think I won't be able to pass the Juren exam in two years?"

Du Yinsheng quickly shook his head: "No, how could he not have confidence. But..."

Before he could continue talking, Du Jinning interrupted him and said, "Then why do you want me to come here as a scholar to humiliate myself? Even if I get a small three yuan, it is only a scholar. Not only are there scholars in his family, but also There are juren. I am much shorter than others. We are not honoring our ancestors by doing this, but bowing our heads to them, admitting that our branch is not as good as his family? Can't wait to come to the door to show off your power, isn't this a joke?"

Seeing that Du Yinsheng was silent, she slowed down her tone: "Let's wait for two more years, can't we go after I am admitted to Juren? Xuezheng Master Zhao..."

She raised her hand and arched it into the air: "As well as the grader Lu Shanzhang, they all praised my essays, saying that my essays would be fine even if they were put in the provincial examination. I have only studied for more than two years. To be able to write such an article. If I were given two more years, wouldn’t my article have improved a lot, and it wouldn’t be difficult to get a Juren? Why don’t you always want to wait two more years?”

These words made Du Yinsheng speechless.

Du Chensheng, who had been sitting silently by the side, said, "Brother, Brother Ning is right."
