Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 570 Guan Zhengxiang

"Thank you so much, teacher." Du Jinning stood up and cupped his hands in thanks.

Guan Lehe waved his hand: "When I get off the office tomorrow, you go to the entrance of the engineering department and wait for me. I will take you to go through the formalities. You bring the 4000 taels of cash."

As he spoke, he asked again: "Do you know where the Ministry of Industry is?"

"It's okay if I don't know, I'll find out if I ask." Du Jinning said.

This disciple has always been clever, and Guan Lehe was not worried that she would be lost, so he nodded and stopped talking.

Speaking of the Ministry of Industry, Du Jinning was full of doubts.

She asked: "Teacher, weren't you originally in the Ministry of Rites? Why did you get transferred to the Ministry of Industry?"

Because Guan Jiaze's father, Guan Zhengxiang, was in the Ministry of Rites, Guan Lehe found a job in the Ministry of Rites after he arrived in the capital.Although the position is not high, the national power of the Song Dynasty is strong, following the grand occasion of "All Nations Come to Dynasty" in the Tang Dynasty, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are still highly valued by the emperor.

The Ministry of Industry, on the other hand, is in charge of engineering construction, farmland water conservancy, hunting in the mountains and forests, ordnance manufacturing, and miscellaneous product manufacturing. Not to mention trivial matters, it is difficult to make political achievements.

If Guan Zhengxiang was slapped during the alternation of the old and new emperors, which would affect Guan Lehe; or if Guan Lehe's current position was higher than that of the Ministry of Rites, and Guan Lehe was transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Industry, Du Jinning would still understand.But now Guan Zhengxiang was sitting comfortably in his position, and Guan Lehe was transferred at the same level again.So about Guan Le and the transfer, Du Jinning murmured in his heart.

She always suspected that Guan Lehe was transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Works because of her.

"Oh, the two brothers are easy to be gossiped in the same department. There is a position in the Ministry of Industry, so I just transferred to the Ministry of Industry." Guan Lehe said lightly.

Du Jinning blinked and looked at him with a frown, showing disbelief in Guan Lehe's words.

Guan Lehe glared at her: "You are young, and you are a juror. You should take care of things that you shouldn't be in charge of. Be careful with too many eyes and not grow tall."

Du Jinning curled his lips: "Teacher, you have to coax other children with your words. Don't say such words to me. It's obvious that you are as old-minded as I am, but it's not that long-term." high?"

Guan Lehe couldn't help laughing "haha", pointed at Du Jinning and said, "You, you, really..."

Outside the door, a man in official uniform was about to enter the courtyard from the side road. Hearing Guan Le and the hearty laughter in the hall, he couldn't help but stop, and asked the servants beside him: " Who is here? Can make the fourth master so happy."

"My lord, it's the fourth master's student. A man named Du Jinning came to visit the fourth master. The teacher and the student are talking in the hall." The servant said.

Upon hearing this, Guan Zhengxiang said with a smile: "Your Fourth Master, a student, I've heard of you for a long time, but I've never seen him before. Since he's here today, I'd like to see what kind of person he is."

With that said, he turned around and headed towards the hall.

Someone was waiting to see Guan Zhengxiang at the second gate. When he saw him from a distance, he waited at the second gate.But he didn't want Guan Zhengxiang to stop there for a while, instead of going to the second gate, he went towards the hall instead.

The man became anxious immediately, and hurriedly chased after him, and called Guan Zhengxiang who was going up the steps: "Master, master, the young master is not feeling well today, my aunt wants you to go and have a look."

Guan Zhengxiang immediately stopped in his tracks, turned around, and asked, "What's wrong with the eldest young master? Did you hire a doctor?"

"It seems that my stomach was ruined by eating, so I invited a doctor, but it didn't improve after taking two doses of medicine. Auntie was so anxious that she didn't know what to do."

When Guan Lehe in the room listened to the conversation outside, the smile on his face disappeared all of a sudden.

He suddenly raised his volume, and said to Du Jinning: "Jinning, I heard that Jia Ze and you learned Kung Fu from Qi Muyuan, is there such a thing?"

Du Jinning immediately knew what the teacher wanted to do, and he raised his voice and said, "Yes, Qi Muyuan's kung fu is good. He said that no matter if he takes the exam, or wins a Jinshi and becomes an official in the future, he can do anything without a healthy and strong body. Not good. To put it bluntly, a noble family has to choose a son who is healthy and healthy, let alone a family like us that needs to rely on scientific examinations to fight for the future."

"It makes sense, it makes sense." Guan Le said softly, "Then are you planning to go to Qi Mansion every few days or something?"

Du Jinning saw that the light at the door dimmed, and a figure appeared in the light and shadow at the door.

She pretended that she didn't know anything, and only looked at Guan Lehe: "It hasn't been settled yet. Everyone just said that we will wait until the capital is settled and we can decide after seeing the situation." She asked again. , "Teacher, is your mansion far from the Qi family? If you live far away, it would be cheaper for Guan Jiaze to practice martial arts in the morning. You don't know, when we were in Fucheng, it was still daylight, and we would gather at the Qi family's martial arts field, and follow the Qi family's martial arts practice." The masters practice boxing together, lift stone locks, and practice running..."

"Hmm..." There was a voice clearing his throat from the door.

Du Jinning looked over there, only to see a tall figure standing, because the backlight was behind him, his face was not big and he couldn't see clearly.

Guan Lehe had already stood up: "Second brother, are you in office?"

"Hmm." Guan Zhengxiang walked in, looked Du Jinning up and down, with a serious expression, "This is..."

"Oh, this is a student I accepted in the county. His name is Du Jinning. He has just been admitted to Juren and was lucky enough to get the title of Jieyuan." Guan Le and Rao have always been humble and calm. Sometimes, he couldn't help showing his complacency.

Guan Zhengxiang nodded, walked to the main seat given by Guan Lehe and sat down.

A servant outside the door was full of anxiety, and when he saw this, he gave Du Jinning a steady look. When Du Jinning felt his gaze look back, he quickly lowered his head to cover his gaze.

Guan Lehe has always been astute, and he immediately sensed the unkind gaze from this man just now.

He lowered his face and said to Guan Zhengxiang: "I think the second brother should go back to the backyard quickly. My student is just a country boy with no background. If Brother Xing resents him for this and takes action to punish him, call him It will be a disaster."

Guan Zhengxiang froze for a moment, then frowned: "What are you talking about?" After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but turned his head again and looked at Du Jinning carefully.

After Guan Lehe went to Beijing, although he lived in the same house with him, he chose the most secluded courtyard to live alone on the pretext that his wife was not in good health and could not stand the noise.They also asked someone to open a door there. Normally, they just asked the servants to go out to buy through that door, and they didn't eat with them in this room.Except for the holidays, the couple seldom interact with them.

As for the fight between their wives and concubines, and the conflict between Guan Jiaze and his brother-in-law Guan Jiaxing, Guan Lehe ignored them at all, and just pretended not to know anything.
