Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 555
Everyone was surprised.

Qi Muyuan stood up with a "chuckle" and exclaimed, "What?"

Du Yunyi was taken aback when he saw Qi Muyuan, but remembered that he was the grandson of the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and quickly said: "The emperor is dead."

Du Jinning stood up and patted Qi Muyuan on the shoulder.

The people here are far away from the emperor. Although the death of the emperor is a big bad news for them, it actually has no impact on their lives. At most, they cannot marry for a short time.

But Qi Muyuan's family members were all in the capital, and his grandfather Qi Bokun even participated in the battle for the succession.Now that the emperor is dead, who will be the emperor?

The second prince and the first prince have been fighting to the death. If the second prince becomes the emperor, the chance of the first prince surviving is too small.Even if you can survive, it is better to die than to live.As for Qi Bokun, who is a central force in the first prince's faction, his good days are coming to an end.

Qi Muyuan was naturally worried about the safety of his grandfather and parents in Beijing.

Du Jinning wanted to comfort him, but she also knew that no matter what she said at this time, it would be powerless, and it would not help the Qi family's crisis.

She could only ask: "Do you want to rush to the capital?"

At first, Du Yinsheng, Du Chensheng and a few countrymen were a little confused about Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning's reaction and actions. Now when she asked her, they understood that the emperor's death had a great impact on Qi Muyuan.

If some people didn't know much about Qi Muyuan's family background at the beginning, they would feel unclear at this moment.

This young man has an amazing family background.

"No need." Qi Muyuan shook his head.

He knew that this was not the time to be impulsive.If he rushed to the capital at this time, not only would it be of no benefit to his grandfather and father, but he might also fall into someone else's trap, allowing others to use him as a hostage to threaten his grandfather.

"Your grandfather and the others definitely hope that you will stay in Gui Province at this time and not go back to the capital to take risks, so as to preserve a bloodline for the Qi family. If you insist on going to Beijing, you may disturb the old man's mind and make him do things Hands are bound. So you should stay here and don't think about going back. Besides, you can't help much if you go back, you can only add to the chaos." Du Jinning said.

Qi Muyuan nodded: "I know."

Seeing that he was still rational, Du Jinning felt relieved.

She turned to Du Yinsheng and Zhang Guangyi and said: "Uncle, Uncle Zhang, even though Qi Muyuan doesn't plan to go back to the capital after such a big event, he still needs to communicate with Beijing, so it's better to go back to Fucheng as soon as possible. The situation is special now. , All entertainment and celebration activities are prohibited, and banquets can no longer be held, so Qi Muyuan and I just leave and go back to the county. After going to the academy to see the gentlemen, we will go back to Fucheng in the afternoon while it is still early."

Du Yinsheng said everything he needed to say. Although he was reluctant, he also knew that Taohua Village would not be able to keep Du Jinning, so he didn't express anything about Du Jinning's decision.

But Zhang Guangyi was reluctant and said, "Let's go now?"

He also wanted Du Jinning to give Zhang Hongwen some advice.Zhang Hongwen got stuck after passing the county test, and failed the government test. The gap with Du Jinning, who was only 14 years old and won the Juren, is too big. Zhang Guangyi hopes that his son will be able to get some credit from Wen Kuixing, and not only pass the next time. For the government examination, it is best to pass the hospital examination in one fell swoop and become a scholar.

Du Jinning also knew what Zhang Guangyi was thinking.

She looked at Zhang Hongwen and asked, "Hongwen, can you ride a horse? If you can, you might as well go to Fucheng with us. If not, you can go by car sometime, and I'll talk to you about how to make a fuss."

Before Zhang Hongwen could speak, Zhang Guangyi was overjoyed and said, "Ever since he knew you were learning to ride a horse, he was very envious. I thought it would be inconvenient for him to come and go every day, so I bought a mule, and now he rides a mule when he goes to the academy. Riding a horse is fine."

As he spoke, he encouraged Zhang Hongwen: "Hongwen, go to Fucheng with Jin Ning and learn how to write articles. You have studied in the academy for so many years, and your husband has taught you everything you need to say. Listen to Jin Ning. The experience of Master Ning and Master Qi may suddenly enlighten him, and he knows how to write a good article."

Zhang Hongwen is so old, he hasn't traveled far.When I heard that I was going to Fucheng, or go away with Du Jinning and Qi Mu, I was naturally very excited, and asked Du Jinning, "Will it be too much trouble for you?"

"No." Du Jinning smiled, "Guan Jiaze is also in Fucheng, and he was still talking about you before I returned."

"Then I'll go bother you." Zhang Hongwen said happily.

Du Jinning bowed his hands to Du Yinsheng and the villagers: "If that's the case, then we will take our leave."

Du Yinsheng stood up, took out the 100 taels of silver note that Du Jinning gave him just now, and handed it to Du Jinning: "The banquet can't be held, and the bank note will be returned to you."

Seeing this, Mrs. Niu didn't bother to offend Du Jinning, and said, "Brother Ning, we are your grandparents after all. Now that you are well-off, don't talk about showing filial piety to us. At least please treat us to something good, and do two more Wearing clothes, right? This silver, you will honor us."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to grab the bank note.

Du Yinsheng withdrew his hand quickly, ignored Niu Shi, and only looked at Du Chensheng fixedly.

Niu's act of robbing the bank notes is still in line with Du Chensheng's wishes.This time Du Jinning was admitted to Juren, not only did he not give them any benefits, he didn't even talk to them, and he didn't look at them. They didn't get any benefits, and they had to look at their faces.It's just that Du Jinning is not what he used to be, and he dare not make mistakes.

Now that Du Yinsheng wanted him to express his opinion, he said with a blank expression: "I am his grandfather, shouldn't he honor me with some money?"

Du Yinsheng was about to be overwhelmed by his brother's brazenness.

He was about to reprimand when he heard Du Jinning say, "I came back this time to buy gifts for my uncle, grandfather and everyone."

As she spoke, she took out a gift list from her sleeve and handed it to Du Yinsheng: "Please help uncle and grandpa share."

When Du Yinsheng took the gift list, she said again: "The filial piety of grandfather and grandmother is all on this. As for the silver ticket, I will give it back to the village and donate it to the village private school to buy textbooks, pens and ink. It’s all my regret that I couldn’t study here.”

Saying that, she arched her hands and turned around to walk outside.

"Hey, how can it be like this? Grandfather and grandmother don't show filial piety yet, but give money to others. Is there anyone like you as a grandson?" Niu shouted behind him.

She knew that Du Jinning would not give her and Du Chensheng much.Even if there are gifts, they are all worthless, so how can 100 taels of silver be so beneficial?

Helpless, Du Jinning went as if he hadn't heard it.

Niu Shi wanted to go up to pull Du Jinning, but unexpectedly several big men who came back with Du Jinning stopped in front of her, no matter how Niu Shi cried and made trouble, it was useless, even Du Chensheng was also stopped in the room.But Du Yinsheng, Zhang Yiguang and the countryman went out, they didn't stop them.

Du Chen was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Niu had no choice but to shout loudly in the room: "Yunnian, Yunnian, stop Brother Ning. He just donated 100 taels of silver to the private school, you ask him to take another 200 taels to honor us, otherwise it will be unfilial."
