Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 552 Meeting
Du Jinning followed Qi Muyuan to the Qi Mansion. At first, he was worried that Qi Muyuan would repeat the old story, or get along awkwardly, but fortunately, Qi Muyuan was as usual, as if he had never said what he said, so Du Jinning slowly put it down. Heart, also returned to normal.

When having breakfast the next day, Qi Muyuan asked, "Why don't I accompany you back to the village? I don't have any close relatives here, so I just need to go to the ancestral hall to worship, it won't take much time."

Du Jinning hesitated for a moment, finally nodded and said: "Alright, then I will trouble you to accompany me for a walk."

She was really impatient to deal with Du Chensheng and others. If it wasn't for the fame of ancient scholars, she would have to fulfill Du Yinsheng's wish, and she didn't even want to go back to Taohua Village.

But Du Chensheng thought he was a half-educated person, so he usually had a lot of face.With Qi Muyuan present, he would restrain himself a bit, and not let Mrs. Niu make such a fuss, and everyone would be able to save face.When she was about to leave, Qi Muyuan was there, so Du Yinsheng and the others couldn't force her to stay.

"You worship your ancestors first, and it's not too late for us to go to Taohua Village later. You must have lunch there." Du Jinning said.

Du Yinsheng and Zhang Guangyi definitely wanted to keep their food, and Du Jinning had to give them face.

Qi Muyuan didn't refuse either.The ancestral hall is just behind his house, and it doesn't take much time to walk over to offer incense sticks and kowtow a few more times.

For a family like theirs, it's really not a big deal to be a Juren, and there's no need to alarm distant relatives.

Unlike Du Jinning, who is a Juren, that is an achievement that is not necessarily achieved within a hundred miles of Taohua Village, dozens of hundreds of years. Not only everyone in the Du family came here after hearing the news, but also people from the same village or several nearby villages. People will come to celebrate, the situation is much more complicated.Du Jinning wanted to sneak into the village and run away with a single shot. That would definitely not work. At least he had to have lunch and dinner there.

After Qi Muyuan finished offering sacrifices to his ancestors, Du Jinning rode out with him on horseback.

After thinking about it, Du Jinning ordered Wang Fulai to visit Du Yunyi's house when he went out, and told Du Yunyi the news of her return.

At this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the rice in the field has turned from green to yellow, hanging heavily on the rice.Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan rode into Taohua Village with a few nurses, and the farmers who were busy in the rice fields straightened up and looked at them.

Du Jinning has a good memory. Even though she didn't stay in Taohua Village for a long time and didn't have much contact with the people in the village, she remembered everything she met.Since she came back to collect reputation points, she naturally wanted to say hello to the villagers when she saw them.

But before she started to speak, everyone shouted: "Du Jieyuan is back, Du Jieyuan is back."

Du Jinning was stunned, and then remembered that she had won the Juren, not only the government servants in Fucheng would go to Calabash Lane to announce the good news, but the people in the county government would also send servants to the village to announce the good news when they received the news from Fucheng.

When she came to her senses, all the villagers came out of the fields and went to the side of the road to talk to her.

She got off the horse quickly and greeted everyone.Qi Muyuan also dismounted.

"Oh my god, it's Brother Ning. He's grown so big and so handsome, the old woman almost can't recognize him." An old lady looked at Du Jinning and exclaimed.

Du Jinning turned his head to look, and found that it was Mrs. Wang, and hurriedly said, "Grandma Wang, are you in good health?"

"Okay, okay." Seeing that Du Jinning still remembered herself, Mrs. Wang happily took her hand and said, "Brother Ning, you are promising. Not only was you admitted as a scholar, but you were also admitted to Juren. Your mother and your sister have a good relationship." The day is over." She said, wiping away tears.

This is someone who really cares about Mrs. Chen and the others.

Du Jinning has always remembered Mrs. Wang's kindness to her family, and she did not forget to bring gifts to Mrs. Wang when she came back this time.But at this time there were too many people talking, and it was hard for her to bring it out, so she had to chat with Mrs. Wang and deal with other people's questions.She didn't stop on her feet, she walked all the way to the Du's house, and the guard behind her had already taken the reins from her.

"Brother Ning." Mrs. Wang tugged on her sleeve suddenly, her voice was lowered, as if she wanted to whisper something.

Du Jinning nodded to the others, turned his head and approached Mrs. Wang.

"Your uncle is back." Mrs. Wang said.

Du Jinning was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized.Mrs. Wang was talking about Du Yunnian.

Du Yunnian is back?

Calculate the time, it's almost the same.

Du Jinning smiled, and said to Mrs. Wang: "Come back when you come back, he doesn't dare to do anything to us now."

"That's right." Mrs. Wang grinned.

Back then, the orphans and widows of the Du family had no strength to fight against Du Yunnian, so they were afraid of him.Now that Du Jinning has been admitted to Juren, even the magistrate of the county fawns on her a little bit, how can the third house be afraid of a bastard who is nothing?No matter how much Du Yunnian messes around, he won't be able to make any waves.

"Is your mother okay? Is your fourth sister engaged?" she asked again.

Hearing Mrs. Wang's question, the others also pricked up their ears.

"My mother is very good. The fourth sister is engaged, and the fourth brother-in-law is also a juror." Du Jinning paused, and then said, "My fourth brother-in-law's father is still a governor, a third-rank official."

When everyone heard this, they all exclaimed: "My God, a third-rank official."

Someone asked: "How high is the county magistrate?"

Those who knew answered first: "The magistrate of the county is the seventh rank. The magistrate in the prefecture city is also only the fourth rank."

"Then sister Hui's father-in-law must be such an official!"

Hearing everyone's envy and amazement, Du Jinning turned his head and took a look at Qi Muyuan.

Qi Muyuan gave her a look back and nodded, expressing that he would not think she was showing off.

The two have been classmates for several years, what kind of person is Du Jinning, does he not know?What she said now was just to frighten Du Chensheng and the others, so as to save trouble.

The people in the village are most afraid of the officials. They usually have to be afraid for a long time when they see a yamen servant, let alone a third-rank official who is much older than the county magistrate.Knowing that Du Jinning is not only a juren himself, Du Fanghui's father-in-law is also a third-rank official, even if Du Chensheng and Du Yunnian have some ideas, they dare not make trouble anymore.

A group of people walked all the way, and some enthusiastic children ran to Du's house to report.When Du Jinning and his party reached the door of Du's house, they saw Du Yinsheng, Du Chensheng and others standing there to greet them.Du Yunnian and Yao's family were among them.

"Uncle, uncle, grandmother. Grandfather, grandmother." Du Jinning called out.

"Hey, brother Ning, you have honored our Du family. I don't know how happy your great-grandfather is to know." Du Yinsheng stepped forward and grabbed Du Jinning's arm, tears streaming down his face.

"Uncle, Jinning finally lived up to his expectations." Du Jinning smiled at Du Yinsheng.

Du Yinsheng's greatest wish is to find a candidate in his family to compare with the Du family in Fucheng.Now that Du Jinning has fulfilled his wish, he is worthy of the help and kindness Du Yinsheng gave her when she traveled through time.
