Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 546 Reaction
"What can I do if I don't admit it? They said they're going to make a fuss in front of the chief examiner. I can't do anything about it." Chen squeezed out an ugly smile, "So when I come back, I also want to let you know, my brother Ning Already engaged. After all, you cared so much about my Brother Ning, and you kept saying that you wanted to talk to him about marriage."

"..."

Mrs. Li was so aggrieved that she didn't know how to face Chen.

She cared so much about Du Jinning, didn't she want him to be her son-in-law or niece-in-law?Now that he's engaged, why do you still care about him?

After sitting with Mrs. Li for a while, Mrs. Chen left and went to Mrs. Zhou's house, and then Mrs. Kong's house.

After a while, Mrs. Wu, who has a good relationship with Mrs. Li, came over, told Mrs. Li about this, curled her lips and said, "Is she trying to show off her niece?"

Mrs. Li understood Mrs. Chen's behavior, and said with a smile: "These wives once wanted to say goodbye to her brother Ning. She is explaining to everyone. I really appreciate her approach, at least she didn't deceive everyone. I also keep my posture relatively low, and I don’t feel that I am great just because my son has become a Juren.”

"Is Juren amazing?"

Mrs. Li knew that Mrs. Wu had always looked down on people, especially the Du family who came from mud legs.

She smiled and said: "Juren is nothing special, but a 14-year-old Juren is remarkable, and a 14-year-old Juren who can get Jieyuan is even more remarkable."

Mrs. Wu was so choked by her that she couldn't speak for a while.

However, Mrs. Li was born higher than her, and her husband was more promising than her husband. She didn't dare to show Mrs. Li's face, but this did not prevent her from looking down on Du Jinning and said: "14-year-old Jie Yuan? Just him? Impossible! It's not that I look down on Du Jinning He, not everyone can get this solution."

Mrs. Li knew that no one in her family had participated in the provincial examination, and she didn't know Du Jinning's ranking in the first two rounds, and she didn't compete with her. She said calmly, "Even if it's not Jie Yuan, it's really great to be in the top ten."

Mrs. Wu choked again.

Last year, her 21-year-old eldest son took part in the provincial examination and managed to pass the Juren examination. However, his ranking was quite low, and he was only two places short of becoming the famous "Sun Shan".

Unconvinced, she wanted to sarcastically, when she heard the sound of gongs and drums outside.

When Mrs. Li heard this voice, she was overjoyed: "The servants have come to announce the good news." She turned her head and said to her mother-in-law, "Go out and inquire, and see what number Ning Geer got."

After a while, the mother-in-law came in with a happy face, and said to Mrs. Li: "Madam, Young Master Du has won the title of Xie Yuan."

"Really?" Mrs. Li stood up in surprise, "Then I'd like to congratulate Mrs. Du." Then she asked Mrs. Wu, "Does Mrs. Wu want to go?"

Mrs. Wu's complexion suddenly turned ugly.

Just said it was impossible, and immediately came to slap her in the face.

She snorted coldly and said, "I'm not going to join in the fun. It's not my son who has to know Yuan, what's there to be happy about." She was not in the mood to socialize with Mrs. Li any more, and only nodded slightly to her , "I'll go back first." Then he went out.

After leaving the door, she murmured to herself: "It's like pretending. I don't believe that she understands Yuan after listening to the door. She's really happy."

The mother-in-law followed Mrs. Li's instructions to send Mrs. Wu out, and when she came, she said to her wife, "What kind of attitude is she?"

"It's just jealousy." Mrs. Li didn't take it seriously, and ordered her mother-in-law to prepare gifts.

The mother-in-law asked: "Will Madam want to congratulate herself?"

"Yes." Mrs. Li said, "The Du family doesn't have any relatives in Fucheng, so we will come to congratulate, so it will look lively and festive."

"My wife is kind-hearted and the most considerate." The mother-in-law flattered her.

Mrs. Li smiled and said nothing.

Like Mrs. Li, there are not a few people who come to Du's house with gifts to celebrate and deepen their friendship.

At this time, at the opposite door of Du's house, Old Master Du sat in the hall with a gloomy face and scolded the servants: "If you can't do such a small thing well, what do you need? If you can't do it well, you will sell it out. Stealing and playing tricks dog thing."

The scolded young servant was baffled.

The flowers and trees in this hall have never been under his control. He is only responsible for cleaning the hall and watering the flowers as the gardener ordered.Now the flowers are growing well, but the old man scolded him, saying that he raised the flowers to death.

He raised his head to explain, but was kicked by an old servant next to him, hinting him to keep quiet with his eyes.

After finally the old man finished scolding, he punished him not to eat at night, the young servant followed the old servant and then reluctantly said: "Why didn't you let me talk just now? It's obviously not my fault."

The old servant stared: "You are really stupid to say you are stupid. Is the old man scolding people because you did something wrong? It's because he is in a bad mood."

"Why is he in a bad mood?" The young servant asked in a daze.

From his point of view, this old Mrs. Du ate well, lived well, was served by a large group of servants, and his sons and grandsons were filial to him no matter if they were sincere or not, and they dared not disobey him in the slightest.If they are still in a bad mood after living such a life, then why don't these servants who are beaten and scolded all day long be hanged?

"Didn't you see that Master Zheyan was dismissed in the first match, but the young master from Du's family on the other side won the first place?" The old servant had a look of resentment.

Fortunately, the young servant is not stupid, and finally knows why Mrs. Du is in a bad mood.

Without him, I have pink eye disease.

His own young master Du Zheyan studied hard in the government school, but he was kicked out of the government school because he got in trouble with the Qi family, so he had to go to the county to go to school.Last year, he was finally admitted as a scholar, and this year he was able to participate in the provincial examination, but he failed in the first examination.

However, the young master of the Du family who looked down upon him in every possible way and was not even allowed to hang a plaque, won the election and had to understand Yuan.

It's okay if that's the case, everyone has his own life.There are many scholars who have failed in Sun Shan's name in the world. My family is neither hardworking nor smart, nor lucky, and it is common to fail.

But in order to deal with the opposite door Du's family, their own family suffered a big loss.Not to mention the teahouse, which has been closed down for a long time; the restaurant handed down from the ancestors, but under the impact of Yuyizhai, which has invested in the opposite door, the business is getting worse day by day, and now it can only support it.Not to mention that he lost a large sum of money to the opponent back then.

With these grievances, the better the life of the other side, the more resentment the old man will naturally have.

"What are you scolding me for?" The young servant was unconvinced, "Master's Aunt Nan is a maid from the Du family opposite, and her elder brother is also Young Master Du's servant. If the old man is angry, he can only relieve his anger by scolding them. What's the use of scolding me?" ?”

The old servant's eyes lit up suddenly when he heard this, and he said to the young servant: "Okay, you're the one who talks too much nonsense, go to work quickly. Go and get my share of the meal at night, and just say what I said."

Saying that, without waiting for the young servant to say anything, he turned around and entered the yard again, and went straight to the hall.
