Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 619
"So, your father has always been in the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. No matter how outstanding the teacher is, his current official position is already his limit, and he has no chance to stand out. And you..."

Du Jinning paused, gave Guan Jiaze a moment to think, and then slowly said: "Even if you are a Jinshi, become an official, and your achievements are very good, unless you are released, you will have no chance to make a difference. After all, your father , Your fourth uncle is still working in the capital. Unless they become official, you will have to stay up all the time."

"But your father is only less than 40 years old now. If he lives a long life and is in good health, it will not be a problem to be an official until he is 70 or 30 years old. In [-] or [-] years, how much fighting spirit do you have left to climb up?"

Seeing that Guan Jiaze was silent, Du Jinning said again: "Do you think that your fourth uncle has lived in seclusion in Lishui County for so many years, so you really don't want to be an official? It's just to make way for your cousins. A while ago, in order to avoid the struggle for succession , They were all released. Your fourth uncle was afraid that no one in Beijing would be able to speak for them, and your father could not count on him, so he entered Beijing and became an official. And at the right time, I believe he, for your cousin, I will definitely beg the emperor for the bones, and I will be dismissed from office again, so that I can give the opportunity to your cousin."

Guan Lehe's three sons, the eldest was originally an editor and qualified in the Hanlin Academy, and the second and third were not recruited into official positions, but they all won Jinshi in the last spring.At that time, the battle for the heirloom was very fierce, Guan Lehe was worried that they were too young and would be used by others, so he asked them to choose to go out and become a small county magistrate, and the boss also transferred. The Fuzhou Shipping Department held a five-rank official position.

"As for your father, even if he is not addicted to being an official and is willing to become an official, it is hard to say whether he will give the opportunity to your elder brother or to you. After all, if your elder brother has the opportunity to be transferred back to Beijing to be promoted, it is you who have the opportunity The beneficiaries are different when you are transferred back to Beijing and have a chance to be promoted. As long as your elder brother returns to Beijing, no matter how good you are in office, it will be difficult for you to re-enter Beijing as an official. Your path is blocked. After all, if you have reached the fourth or even third rank outside, it is impossible for you to be a sixth or fifth rank after being transferred to Beijing."

Having said that, Du Jinning didn't say any more.She stood up and made two cups of tea, one for herself, and pushed the other in front of Guan Jiaze.

Guan Jiaze's room has the same layout as hers, and she has been here a lot, so she is familiar with it, and it is the same as her own room.

Guan Jiaze stared blankly at the tea in his eyes, didn't move and didn't speak.

Du Jinning took two sips of tea, and then said again: "So at first I asked you, your mother valued you more, or your father. Her life is not easy, if she has the opportunity to tear your father from the official position Soft-hearted, have you ever thought about how your mother will feel when you find out later that he blocked your way and instead closed Jiaxing cheaply?"

This time, Guan Jiaze's eyes finally became brighter. He raised his head and looked at Du Jinning.

Du Jinning nodded to him.

She knew that in this era when filial piety ruled the world, if Guan Jiaze wanted to kill his father and make way for him, he would never get over that hurdle in his heart.No matter how much he hated that scumbag father, his education would not allow him to do this.

But if he was asked to think about the problem from Kong's point of view, it would be easier for him to accept it.Father and mother, he is naturally closer to and filial to his mother. For the sake of his mother, let the scumbag dismiss from office and demote, which is also filial piety; on the contrary, if in order to take care of the scumbag's future, he ignores his mother, who treats him with all her heart and soul, and treats him like her life He is called a beast, and this is the greatest unfilial piety in the world.

Guan Jiaze smiled, and there was a sense of relief in this smile: "I understand."

He stood up and bowed deeply to Du Jinning: "Thank you, Jinning. I am lucky to be friends with you."

Du Jinning jumped up to avoid his salute, and slapped Guan Jiaze's thick back with a palm: "You boy, don't do this to me." She grabbed the apple in Guan Jiaze's fruit plate, took a bite, and waved at Guan Jiaze. He waved his hand, "Let's go." He turned around and went out the door, and went back to his room.

Guan Jiaze was silent in the room for a moment, then closed the door to rest.

At noon the next day, Guan Jiaze went to the Confucian Mansion, talked with his mother for a long time, and looked very relaxed when he came out.

Du Jinning knew that he had visited the Confucian mansion, and he didn't say what he talked to his mother, and Du Jinning didn't ask.But she knew that Mr. Kong was a man of means and courage, otherwise he wouldn't bring the housework to the emperor.As long as she knew that Guan Zhengxiang was blocking her son's way, Guan Zhengxiang would be finished.

Guan Jiaze is Kong's weakness, but at the same time he is also Kong's reverse.Whoever blocks Guan Jiaze's way, she can meet gods and kill gods, and Buddhas and Buddhas.

Sure enough, within two days, someone came to report: "Young master, you should go back quickly, my wife has been beaten."

At this time, the Taixue was still in class, and the master was talking at the top, and the students were listening at the bottom.The servants of the Guan family broke into the teaching dormitory in such a straightforward manner, which shocked everyone.

Guan Jiaze even lost his seven souls to his six souls: "What, what?"

Du Jinning hurriedly asked beside him, "Is the injury serious? Is there any danger to life?"

Seeing that Guan Jiaze's face turned pale, the servants quickly comforted him: "It's okay, there is no danger of life, the doctor said that it will be fine if you raise him. Young master, don't worry too much."

But if the injury wasn't serious, he wouldn't let his servants break into the Taixue to call Guan Jiaze.

The master felt that the servant's words were just comforting Guan Jiaze, so he hurriedly said, "Guan Jiaze, you should go back and have a look, and I will let you know where Xuezheng is."

Du Jinning took advantage of Guan Jiaze's arm to pinch his arm.

Guan Jiaze looked at Du Jinning, and saw her wink at him.

He thought: Could this be fake?How could my mother be beaten for no reason?To prevent accidents, the mother brought a full nursing home when she went out, and there were even mother-in-law and maids who knew how to work hard.Could this be a trap set by my mother for Aunt Huang?
Thinking of it this way, his heart calmed down a lot.

Guan Jiaze cupped his hands towards his master: "Thank you for your understanding, Master." Then with the help of his servants, he hurried out of the teaching dormitory.

Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan watched him leave worriedly.

After finally surviving until noon, the two ordered their servants to go to the Confucian mansion to inquire about the news.

When Aoki came back, he reported first: "Mrs. Guan is fine, Master Guan told you not to worry."

At night, Qi Muyuan returned home, and Du Jinning came out of the Imperial Academy, so Aoki whispered: "Master Ze said, don't worry, Master, his mother is fine, but she is just planning."

In fact, Guan Jiaze asked Aoki to avoid Qi Muyuan and let him say this to Du Jinning alone, not because he didn't trust Qi Muyuan, but because he didn't want to let more people know about his family's scandal.

To tell the truth to Du Jinning, it was purely because he was really grateful to Du Jinning for his guidance to their mother and child, and he didn't want her to worry too much.
