Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 554 The Emperor Dies
After worshiping the ancestors, everyone sat down.Apart from Du Yinsheng, Du Chensheng and Zhang Guangyi, there were also a few fellows from the village present here, which represented Du Jinning's elders and the most respected people in the village.

Everyone praised Du Jinning first, and then talked about the banquet.

Du Jinning said: "I came back directly after attending the Luming Banquet yesterday, and I will go back to see off my teacher and others tomorrow, so I don't have much time to stay at home. I will entrust 100 taels of silver to my uncle and Zhang Lizheng, please trouble them to help me How about entertaining the villagers?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Du Yinsheng frowned, and immediately looked at Du Chensheng again, feeling more and more disgusted with Du Chensheng's family.

If it weren't for them, how could Du Jinning avoid his hometown like a snake?If such a promising child is not close to his hometown, it is estimated that he will have less and less time to come back in the future.

Except for the children, no one in the village knew about the situation of the Du family.

The worries in Du Yinsheng's heart were also shared by the villagers. Everyone speculated that Du Jinning's rush to return to Fucheng might be an excuse, but he was actually unwilling to have more contact with Du Chensheng's family, so as not to cause trouble again.

Uncle Li, a countryman who was a witness when the Du family was separated, has always been a kind person.Seeing that Du Jinning rejected Du Chensheng and others so much, he intended to be a peacemaker and persuaded: "Fucheng is not far from here, Brother Ning, you can go back to see your teacher first, and then come back to live for a while. Your mother, your sister, and the others called back. Brother Ning, you are a Juren now, and no one in this village dares to suffer for you. Don’t take things too seriously. Blood is thicker than water, and your grandfather will die in the end. It's your grandfather, without him there would be no father, let alone you, don't you think?"

Du Jinning glanced at him with a calm expression: "Uncle Li means that I am not filial?"

"No, no, no..." Du Yinsheng was taken aback, and said to Uncle Li with a calm face, "What do you mean? Our Du family managed to find a candidate, and you still have to give Brother Ning a big hat for being unfilial No way? Chen Sheng hasn't spoken yet, do you have a place to speak here?"

"That's right. Brother Li, if you can't speak, then don't say it, lest a Juren who finally came out of our village be charged with a crime and beaten back to nothing by you." Zhang Guangyi also echoed.

Du Chensheng, who had been stern and drooping his eyelids, became energetic when he heard these words. He raised his eyes and opened his mouth to say something, but was frightened by Du Yinsheng's and Zhang Guangyi's cannibalistic gazes.

If he jumped out at this time and said that Du Jinning was not filial, people in several villages would drown him with every spittle, and Du Yinsheng and Zhang Guangyi could even eat him alive.

Uncle Li blushed and waved his hands like windmills: "No, no, I didn't mean that. Me, me, I mean..."

"You don't need to talk." Zhang Guangyi interrupted him, "Brother Ning, the people and levels he is in contact with now are beyond your imagination. Since he has something to do, how can a small banquet delay it? Brother Ning I also said just now, put the money with his uncle and grandfather, and let's help him sort it out. No need to delay his big business just to have a few more words with you and drink a few glasses of wine. "

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang, for your compassion." Du Jinning stood up and bowed to Zhang Guangyi, and then said to everyone, "I really have to go back to Fucheng for something, it's not an excuse."

Qi Muyuan also hurriedly testified: "Du Jinning is telling the truth."

"Thank you, Young Master Qi, for accompanying Jin Ning back to the village." Du Yinsheng thanked Qi Muyuan first, and then said to Du Jinning, "You can go back at ease. The banquet in the village will include you and me, Uncle Zhang."

"Then I will trouble uncle and grandpa." Du Jinning said, took out a bank note from his pocket, and handed it to Du Yinsheng.

Du Yinsheng waved his hand: "You don't need that much, 30 taels is enough."

Sitting by the door, Niu's lips twitched, but he still didn't dare to speak.

She also knows that Du Jinning is not what it used to be.When she was admitted as a scholar, she could make the county magistrate not to guide them. Now that she is admitted to Juren, why don't she punish them as she wants?However, all kinds of tricks and threats were ineffective against Du Jinning, so she really didn't dare to provoke Du Jinning.

Du Yinsheng and Du Jinning refused for a while, but finally Du Yinsheng accepted the 100 taels of silver.

He glanced at Qi Muyuan and asked Du Jinning, "Are you staying at home tonight?"

Du Jinning apologized: "I will go to the academy to visit the gentlemen in a while, and maybe I have to go to the magistrate's place. I have a lot of things to do, so I won't go back to the village at night. I returned too late last night, and it was already dark when I entered the city." No, I stayed at Qi Muyuan's house directly. I'll stay at his place tonight. "

Du Yinsheng was disappointed, knowing that Du Jinning had a grudge against Du Chensheng's family after all.As long as they were in Taohua Village, there was no possibility for Du Jinning to go back to the village and stay there.

He sighed secretly, but didn't show it on the face, nodded understandingly and said: "It should. The reason why you have achieved today is thanks to the teachings of the gentlemen in the academy. You have to understand Yuan, not only the glory of Boyue Academy , is also the glory of our Lishui County, the magistrate of the county may come to you after he leaves the government office. It will be convenient for you to go back to the city to live."

Knowing that Du Jinning didn't live at home, he might get up and leave in a while, so he hurriedly asked, "I don't know what happened to the Du family in Fucheng that I asked you to inquire about?"

Du Jinning originally wanted to wait for the outsider to leave before telling Du Yinsheng about the Du family at the end of the alley. At this time, he asked Du Yinsheng about his family's situation, but he didn't say that she lived in the same alley as that Du family. inside.

Du Yinsheng pondered and didn't speak immediately.

"Will uncle and grandpa want to come to recognize relatives?" Du Jinning asked.

"What do you think?" Du Yinsheng asked back.

"Of course, it's up to you, uncle and grandfather. After all, this is your wish." Du Jinning naturally had nothing to do.It may be a little troublesome for her to know her before.But now the Du family at the end of the alley is already behaving with their tails between their legs, and they dare not provoke her at all, and they can no longer cause trouble to her.

Du Yinsheng looked at Du Jinning: "Listening to what you said just now, I think they are not pleasant people. If they recognize their relatives, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for you. Or forget it. Anyway, so many years have passed, our So what if you recognize one of them? No matter how you do it, you won’t be able to get close.”

Du Jinning was very surprised.

Du Yinsheng would rather force his frail son to study hard, hoping that there will be a scholar in the family, so that he can take his father's tablet to recognize his ancestors.Now that she has fulfilled his wish, why is he not in a hurry?
But she was still very happy to deny that relative.Who wants to ask for trouble.

"Then let's put this matter aside. When you want to go back and admit it, I will accompany you." She said.

"Okay, okay." Du Yinsheng nodded vigorously.

After talking about this, Du Yinsheng was about to ask Du Jinning about her engagement, when he saw a man running in from outside, panting, "No, it's not good."

Du Yinsheng took a closer look, but it was Du Yunyi. He frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"The emperor, the emperor... passed away. Just now... the death knell rang in the county."
