Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 550
After Pan Yiting and Wang Shibin's idea of ​​recruiting a son-in-law was temporarily dispelled, the following Lu Ming Banquet was ordinary.Wang Shibin will not let Qi Muyuan be treated coldly. For the sake of reputation, Pan Yiting will naturally not treat other new recruits coldly, let alone people like Guan Jiaze, Fang Shaohua and Liang Xiankuan who are still the children of officials, and some of their grandparents and fathers still know him , as the chief examiner and the teacher of these juren, he naturally wants to get close to these young juren and show his favor, so in the future, Du Jinning will no longer be the only one who receives attention. All of them have received the care from the teacher.

Pan Yiting and the others had been exhausted for nearly half a month, and they didn't have the energy to socialize with these officials who had yet to set foot on officialdom. They watched everyone dance the Luming Dance, and moved their chopsticks a little at the banquet. Let everyone do it. As soon as they returned to the poem, they withdrew from the table first.As soon as they left, Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan also said that they had something to do at home and planned to leave.

There is a student who is from a government school and is better at drilling.When Du Jinning and others entered the government school before, they did not get along with Qi Siyu, this student just looked at it coldly, and wanted the two to fight to the death, and then pick the final winner to curry favor.But he really didn't expect that Du Jinning won in the end, but after the victory, she packed up her bags and left very quickly without waiting for their fiancé tendencies to come and fawn on her, and went to Nanlu Academy, leaving all these people empty.

Now that Qi Siyu is in prison, his conduct has been seriously stained, he can no longer participate in the imperial examination, and has withdrawn from the stage of history, and Du Jinning is so valued by the teachers, they all want to recruit him as his son-in-law. Get up, hurriedly stepped forward to stop Du Jinning who turned to leave: "Brother Du, Brother Du."

Seeing that Du Jinning turned around upon hearing the sound, he took two quick steps, stepped forward and made a deep bow: "Wang Yun, I was a classmate with Brother Du in the government school. I wonder if Brother Du still remembers it."

After saying that, he greeted Qi Muyuan, Fang Shaohua and the others, and then smiled at Guan Jiaze: "Brother Guan looks like a freshman, so he probably didn't study in a government school."

For people like Wang Yun, Guan Jiaze has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships during his two years in Beijing, and he has seen many of them.

He bowed back lightly, and said, "I'm studying abroad." In fact, his situation had already been revealed when Pan Yiting, Wang Shibin and others talked to him just now, and he couldn't believe that Wang Yun didn't hear it.

Du Jinning had something to do, and he was not in the mood to make friends with Wang Yun, so he asked without waiting for him to chat, "Brother Wang called me just now, but something happened?"

Wang Yun looked around for a while, seeing everyone staring at him, he smiled unnaturally, and stretched out his hand to pull Du Jinning's arm.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Qi Muyuan blocked Wang Yun's hand with his body, and said expressionlessly: "Brother Wang, if you have something to say, just say it, don't move your hands."

Wang Yun just wanted to pull Du Jinning to a secluded place outside the door, so that he could talk to Du Jinning about the marriage with his heart.Now that Qi Muyuan said this, it seemed that he was an outlaw, and if he wanted to molest Du Jinning, the smile on his face couldn't hold back.

However, the Qi family was powerful, so he didn't dare to offend him; and looking at Qi Muyuan's attitude, if he didn't say something ugly, these people might misunderstand that he was going to be bad for Du Jinning.

He had no choice but to show a helpless expression, and said: "How old am I, and I was a classmate with Du Jinning, and I want to say a few heart-to-heart words to him. If Brother Qi wants me to say it here, it's nothing, I'm just right. Brother Du is not doing well."

Du Jinning's mind couldn't be clearer. Hearing this, how could he not know what Wang Yun wanted to say?
She smiled and said, "What Brother Wang wants to say, even though I am dull, I can guess a little bit. However, my marriage is established, so it will not change because of my status. Brother Wang cares about Jin Ning, and Jin Ning accepts it heartily." .” Saying that, he cupped his hands, turned and walked out the door.

Qi Muyuan took a fixed look at Wang Yun, and followed him out the door.

Wang Yun's face was red and pale by Du Jinning's words, and then he was stared at by Qi Muyuan like this. Others looked at him with different expressions. He panicked, and said to Du Jinning's back as if he had to make amends: " Brother Du, you have misunderstood, I am not talking about this. Your parents decide on your marriage, how can I have a say in it? It is Professor Tang from the prefectural school who wants me to tell you something."

Du Jinning and his group have been getting along for a long time, and everyone acts in a tacit understanding.

Xu Chengyuan, as the oldest and most unrooted member of the group, is usually taken care of by everyone, so he thinks more deeply and thoughtfully than others when encountering problems.

Just now Du Jinning dropped that sentence and left, and the others went out with him, but he was afraid that Wang Yun would have a bad reaction, deliberately delayed two steps, and fell behind.

Hearing that Wang Yun really shirked his responsibility at this time, he said, "Professor Tang has something to tell, and Brother Wang just said it directly. Your words were vague, and we misunderstood you. Okay, I heard this, and I will pass it on. Jin Ning, Jin Ning will visit Professor Tang when he has time."

Without waiting for Wang Yun to say anything more, he raised his front and stepped out of the threshold, hurriedly chasing Du Jinning and the others.

After hearing Wang Yun's words, people who had some opinions about Du Jinning at first knew what Wang Yun was up to after hearing Xu Chengyuan's words.Everyone was scornful, and had a bad impression of Wang Yun.

Among the 25 candidates, apart from Du Jinning, there are five or six other students from the prefectural school.Those who couldn't understand Wang Yun's behavior sneered and said, "Brother Wang is on good terms with Senior Brother Qi Siyu, isn't it? At this moment, Du Jinning is not far away, so why do you still have 'heart-to-heart' words to tell him? Brother Wang, what is this?" Are you planning to abandon Senior Brother Qi Siyu and curry favor with Senior Brother Du Jinning?"

……

It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Wang Yun is just a microcosm. Du Jinning has grown from a "peasant boy" with nothing, to a scholar, to a scholar. She has seen such a face a lot, and she doesn't take these people to heart .

At this time, she walked out of the tribute courtyard and walked to the place where the carriage was parked. She stopped, turned and said to everyone: "To avoid trouble, I plan to go back to Lishui County to worship the ancestors immediately. What are your plans?"

Influenced by Du Jinning, even Xu Chengyuan, who has the narrowest vision and the least experience of the world, is now extremely politically sensitive.And in order not to let the backyard catch fire, Du Jinning specially summoned Xu Chengyuan and Fang Shaohua, two brother-in-laws, to go there long before taking the provincial examination, and told her that she wanted to remain neutral and did not want to get involved in political disputes.

In the end, she reminded them vaguely that once they win the election, they must maintain a certain degree of political vigilance, and don't be taken advantage of by others by joining a faction with a few good words.

Thinking of Du Jinning's fiancée who appeared out of nowhere, Xu Chengyuan naturally understood her intentions, and immediately said: "You go first, I will go back to my hometown after I settle down."
