Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 543
"My situation, you tell her... oh, it's my cousin, have you told her?" Du Jinning asked.

Mrs. Chen guessed that Du Jinning would be back soon, so she went to her yard to meet her.Of course, she didn't bring the little girl.

Although Du Jinning was in good spirits, and he didn't see any distress on his body. Compared with the other candidates, Chen's situation was still very distressed, so he stopped her and said, "Don't worry, let's talk about this matter after you take a shower, eat and rest. .”

Du Jinning nodded, and went to take a shower. After taking a bath and sitting down to eat, Chen said, "Don't worry, I told her everything. She said that she would do whatever she wanted as long as she was taken away."

"She hates her parents?" Du Jinning frowned slightly.

"That's not true." Mrs. Chen shook her head, "It's just because her mother wanted to marry her brother a wife and couldn't afford the gift money, so she was going to sell her to a wealthy family with a bad reputation to be a maid. She was afraid. Just when I went, she asked me to take her away."

Du Jinning just nodded.

Mrs. Chen also knew what Du Jinning was worried about. She was worried that Chen Sanniu was another Jiangnan, so she explained: "I saw this child, and he has a good temper. It's just that he was oppressed too much by his parents and elder brother, and he was timid and cowardly. Because he has been living In a small village, her temperament is relatively simple. I will teach her well and not let her be like Jiangnan."

Du Jinning nodded.

She said: "You choose a shrewd and capable nanny to teach her, let her know how to be self-reliant, and then teach her some skills to live and live."

"Don't worry, I will." Chen Shi sighed, "I hope she can know what is good or bad."

Back then, Jiang Nan followed the embroiderer at home to learn from female celebrities, and he was able to do needlework well.If her heart wasn't so big, after leaving Du's house with Jiangbei, the siblings would be able to live well with Jiangbei's monthly money and Jiangnan's embroidery money.But she still went down that road.

It can be seen that sometimes people's temperament does not mean that they can walk on the right path with careful teaching.I hope Chen Sanniu can become a good girl.

"Her parents didn't give her a decent name. I renamed her Chen Li, hoping that she will be self-reliant in the future."

"Okay." Du Jinning had nothing to do.

Because of the special relationship, she is destined not to have much interaction with this girl in the future.Mrs. Chen is also a transparent, kind, and insightful person. If she teaches Chen Sanniu, Du Jinning has nothing to worry about.Mrs. Chen wanted to name her niece, so she was naturally happy.

"Uncle and aunt, there is no trouble, right? When you go back to the county, do grandfather and the others know? Did you say anything?" Du Jinning asked.

Speaking of brother and sister-in-law, Chen sneered: "What trouble can there be? I said to give 20 taels of silver, and I want to take the third sister to be my daughter-in-law. Your aunt bargained a lot, and she agreed with 25 taels."

Speaking of this, she added: "She sold Sanniu to that rich family as a servant girl, and it was only 12 taels of silver. Now that she has doubled, and her daughter has climbed a high branch, she is afraid that she will wake up laughing from her dream." , what are you not happy about?"

Du Jinning was speechless.

She had stayed in Peach Blossom Village, so she naturally knew what the women in those villages were like.For example, Niu Shi and Yao Shi are essentially the same as Aunt Du's family.They are all poor.

Mrs. Chen continued: "I was afraid of getting into trouble, so no one was disturbed when I went back. I found an inn to stay for the night that day, and went to your uncle's house early the next morning. After negotiating with them, I will take the car and go straight to the house. I'm back. I told your uncle and aunt not to tell the Du family. But the two villages are not far away, and Chen Sanniu suddenly disappeared. Your uncle has to explain to the neighbors. I think your grandfather will know in two days. gone."

Knowing that Du Jinning only cared about Du Yinsheng's opinion, she explained, "There is nothing you can do about it. After you go back, you can explain it to your uncle and grandpa. As long as you can successfully pass the exam, your uncle and grandpa will be fine." I won't blame you for such a trivial matter."

Speaking of this, she thought of something and asked Du Jinning: "Now the provincial examination is over. When the time comes, you will win the Juren, do you want to go with your uncle and grandfather to recognize your ancestors?"

While talking, Du Jinning had already finished his meal.

She put down the bowls and chopsticks, motioned to Qingmu and Chen's two servant girls to clean up the table, took a sip of tea, and said, "Of course I'm going. This is what uncle and grandfather are thinking about. He treats me well, and I always want to satisfy him." The old man's wish."

Thinking of how much trouble would be caused by being related to the Du family opposite after returning to the clan, Chen felt a little unhappy.But she also knew that Du Jinning was telling the truth.

Seeing that Du Jinning had eaten, Mrs. Chen stood up: "You can't sleep well in the test house, so you should rest early. We can talk about other things when you are free."

Du Jinning nodded, sent Mrs. Chen out, and fell asleep.

At this time, in the Gongyuan, Pan Yiting and the others were hurrying up to review the test papers.Although there are very few candidates in the third round, there are only a hundred test papers to be reviewed, and if there are six heads, each person is only a dozen test papers.But this time the retest was different from the first round. Every question had to be carefully checked, so that 25 candidates could be selected from the [-] candidates.

That's right, because Guangxi Province is a remote province and the style of writing is not strong, the number of admissions for Juren has always been lower than that of other provinces.In addition, the Song Dynasty had been in power for a long time. From the day when an official was admitted as a Jinshi, he worked as an official until he became an official at the age of 70 or 30 or died of illness. He always stayed in the official position for [-] to [-] years.The number of officials needed by the entire country is limited. If the old ones are not gone, and new ones will be crowded in, it will be difficult to arrange personnel.

Therefore, the court set a limit on the number of admissions for the imperial examination.This is still the township examination. When it comes to the general examination and palace examination, the number of people admitted must be calculated first by counting the number of vacancies for official positions.For Guotai Minan, there will never be many vacancies.

Everyone is experienced in correcting papers, even if they have to review carefully, more than a dozen test papers were corrected within two hours.

After extracting the top 25 test papers, Pan Yiting and Wang Shibin looked through the discarded test papers to make sure that there were no missed test papers that were not recommended to the chief examiner or the president in time.

After confirming that there were no leftover papers, everyone unsealed the test papers under the supervision of officers and soldiers, and copied out the names of the people who were admitted.

Seeing that No.1 was Du Jinning's name, Pan Yiting was very happy, and said to everyone, "This year's Jie Yuan in Gui Province must be Du Jinning."

The candidates supported by the Fourth Prince's faction have not been able to squeeze into the top three due to their lack of ability.The two fellow examiners saw that the name of No.2 recorded was Qi Muyuan, so they naturally preferred Du Jinning, an unprofessional Xie Yuan, without waiting for Wang Shibin's objection, they said first: "It should be so. This Du Jinning is the first , The third game is the first place, Xie Yuan is none other than him."

　Come to my aunt, my stomach hurts and I'm in a bad state, so I didn't write it until so late.Sorry for keeping everyone waiting
