Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 503 Visit
After seeing off the three of Lu Jiuyuan, Qi Muyuan asked Du Jinning, "Are you ready?"

They analyzed that Qi Yuandao's lecture meeting was held after the provincial examination.After all, at that time, he could invite some candidates who passed the provincial examination, as well as officials who came to preside over the provincial examination, to participate in his lectures, so as to improve his reputation.

Now because of the fifth prince, he has advanced the time by a few months.

This situation has advantages and disadvantages for Du Jinning.

The disadvantage is that Du Jinning is only a scholar now, if Lu Jiuyuan hadn't specially asked for a post for her, she wouldn't even be qualified to enter the debate.Even if there is a post now, she has a low status and a low-key person, and no one will take her seriously when she gets up to debate.

The advantage is that once she shows up in the debate, or even becomes a blockbuster, it will be very good for her in the rural examination.After all, in the final ranking, the examiner always has to rank according to fame.Otherwise, if an unknown person is selected as Xie Yuan, everyone will question whether he has taken advantage of others and cheated in the examination room.

Although the top three articles are to be published, but there is no first article and no second article, why is the No.2 article not as good as the No.1 article?

That's why Qi Siyu kept building his reputation as a "talented scholar".

"That's it." Du Jinning was not sure.There are too many variables in this kind of academic debate, no matter how well prepared there may be accidents, so her attitude is extremely positive.

Qi Muyuan also knew this, so he didn't ask any more questions, nor was he too anxious about Du Jinning.

He was about to go back to his room when he suddenly remembered something and said to Du Jinning: "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that Jiangbei and Jiangnan stopped me today. They wanted to come to my house to be servants, so I rejected them." gone."

"Uh..." Du Jinning expressed deep sympathy for Jiangnan.

Don't people want to be servants, okay?

But Qi Muyuan's attitude made it clear that day, and Du Jinning also knew that he just said that, and it wasn't that he really didn't understand what Jiangnan meant.

"Then ignore them." Du Jinning said.

Although Du Jinning didn't care much about the brother and sister, she still talked to her mother and sister when she came home the next day.

Du Fangling curled his lips: "I'll go see them in a while."

Chen looked at her strangely: "Look at what they are doing?" Then warned, "Don't embarrass them. Have you forgotten what I said two days ago?"

"I didn't forget, how could I forget. Didn't I care about them?" Du Fangling smiled, "They are people who go out of our house after all. If something happens, Jiang Bei will definitely come to ask for help. So I have to Go and warn them, so as not to cause trouble to us again.”

Du Jinning nodded: "Third Sister is right, she really should go."

Du Fangling put the bowl away: "I'm full, let's go."

Jiang Bei gave the Du family the address of his new house.For the sake of safety, he didn't dare to stay too far away from Du's house; moreover, although the houses in this neighborhood were more expensive, the public security was good, and all the people lived in wealthy families, Jiangbei was willing to rent a safe place even if he spent more money.After all, Jiangnan's appearance is easy to cause trouble.

Du Fangling went there in a carriage, but after half a cup of tea, the carriage stopped at the entrance of an alley.

"Girl, the alley ahead is too narrow to pass." Wang Fulai said.

He is still working as a coachman in the Du family.But now the shotgun has been replaced by a cannon, and the driver is no longer a mule cart, but a horse-drawn cart.

Du Fangling led a maid and a woman out of the car, and said, "You wait here, we'll just walk over."

Wang Fulai had a good friendship with Jiangbei. He was the one who helped find out about this house in Jiangbei. He was very familiar with this place and knew about it a long time ago, so he specially brought his youngest son out.

He was worried about the three women going in, so he put the horsewhip in his youngest son's hand, and said: "Watch here." He got out of the car and followed Du Fangling into the alley.

After walking in the alley for a while, Wang Fulai stopped at the door of a small courtyard, reached out and knocked on the door with a "bang bang".

There was no sound inside.

"Huh, isn't there anyone at home? It shouldn't be." Wang Fulai wondered, "Jiangbei is working in a teahouse now, but Jiangnan should be at home."

Du Fangling knew what was going on, she pouted at her maid, she understood, stepped forward and raised her voice: "Jiangnan, I'm Xiaoyu. Are you at home? The girl is here to see you."

Sure enough, footsteps were heard in the yard, and the door opened after a while, and Jiang Nan's beautiful face appeared at the door: "Girl." He opened the door again, "Come in, please."

Du Fangling walked in and looked around the yard.

Jiang Bei's money is limited, and he doesn't know what will happen to him when he comes out.Although Zhuang Yue arranged a job for him, the salary was not high, and he could only support the two brothers and sisters.If something urgent or difficult happens, he can only rely on the little savings in his hand.

So he didn't dare to spend too much money on renting a house.

This is just the yard you entered. The yard is not big, and there are only three rooms. The only advantage is that there is a well in the yard, so you don't have to go outside to get water.

There are three rooms, with a hall in the middle, one room for the brothers and sisters on both sides, and a kitchen and a toilet.The furnishing of the room is very simple, a bed, a table and a chair, but it is clean.

After Du Fangling looked around the room, he asked Jiang Nan, "Are you cooking?"

Jiang Nan smiled: "Yes, my brother will come back for dinner later."

Du Fangling nodded, and said to Wang Fulai, "Go to the alley and guard the car." Then he told the maid and the mother-in-law, "You go to the kitchen and help cook. I will talk to Miss Jiang in the living room."

"No need." Jiang Nan hastily declined.

Both Xiaoyu and the mother-in-law knew that Du Fangling was going to talk to Jiangnan alone, so they deliberately dismissed them, and the two went to the kitchen regardless of Jiangnan's obstruction.

Seeing Du Fangling going to the hall, Jiang Nan had no choice but to follow her into the door.

Du Fangling had a brisk personality, impatiently making detours, and asked Jiang Nan directly, "What are you going to do in the future?"

Jiang Nan lowered his head, twisted his clothes, and said in silence for a while, "Girl, you may not believe me, but I'm really not an ungrateful person."

She raised her head and looked at Du Fangling: "I said I want to marry Young Master Qi, not because I like him, but...their family can protect me."

Seeing Du Fangling looking at her in amazement, she lowered her head again and twisted her clothes: "I am old enough to be married. There is no servant in the mansion that I can fancy. But marrying ordinary people outside My face, I will definitely cause trouble. So I thought about it, why don't I become a concubine for Young Master Qi. "

She smiled wryly: "I know my wife and girl will definitely say that I am big-hearted and shameless, but this is my true thought."

　Jiang Nan is not a bad person, she will not be blackened, let alone become a traitor concubine to take revenge on the heroine and Qi Muyuan.My article is "daily", the tone is peaceful and peaceful, and there will be no villains.
