Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 631 List of Examiners
Du Jinning quickly stood up and helped Guan Jiaze up, then patted him on the shoulder, feeling very emotional.

She now knows Kong's intention to bring his children back to his hometown.

If Kong didn't bring Guan Jiaze and his sister back to their hometown, but stayed in the capital, Guan Jiaze and Guan Jiayu would be in the current state of resentment for a long time, and it would be easy to develop extreme temperaments.After returning to their hometown, they have developed an open-minded temperament after living in a carefree environment. Even if they return to Beijing, they can get out of the horns and adjust their mentality quickly with just a little pull.

In the role of mother, Kong has really done her duty conscientiously.

Because they wanted to talk about important matters of the imperial examination, Guan Jiaze and Fang Shaohua were afraid that the walls would have ears, so they didn't dare to talk about it in Taixue. Instead, they waited for a holiday and asked Qi Muyuan to come to Du's house together, so they were talking in Du Jinning's study at this time .

Du Jinning asked Guan Jiaze to sit down, and said while sitting down, "Although I don't have a topic here, I have something for you to read. It's just..."

He looked outside the door: "Why haven't Xu Chengyuan and Liang Xiankuan come yet?"

"You made an appointment with Xu Chengyuan and Liang Xiankuan? That's great." Guan Jiaze said happily, "I haven't seen them for a long time."

Just as Du Jinning was about to speak, he heard the door of the courtyard being slammed, and Aoki's voice sounded outside, "Master, the eldest son-in-law is here."

"Come in quickly."

As soon as she finished speaking, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Xu Chengyuan, who was wearing a blue satin shirt, walked in.

In the academies in the capital, whether it is Taixue or ordinary academies, most of the people who can come here to study are from good families.Those people have been wearing silk and satin since they were born, and most of the people who wear common clothes in the capital are traffickers, so Du Jinning and his party changed the simple habits they had cultivated in Lishui Academy, and changed the material of their clothes to silk. This also avoids some troubles.

Otherwise, everyone in Taixue will wear Jinluo, and you will wear common clothes, who will be ridiculed if others don't ridicule you?This is not the male face slapping article that Du Jinning read in his previous life. It is obviously a dragon who has to pretend to be a pig, and then pretend to be a tiger and slap you in the face when the tiger bullies you.Du Jinning felt that it was not creating pleasure, but creating trouble.

Several people in the room stood up and greeted Xu Chengyuan.

Xu Chengyuan also reminisces with everyone happily.

Seeing that he didn't have the slightest feeling of embarrassment and inferiority complex, Du Jinning nodded secretly.

Among this group of people, she and Xu Chengyuan had the worst family background.However, she is a time traveler, and her mentality is incomparable to these people; and the money she earns with her skills is not as strong as that of the Guan Qi family, but in terms of the money she can personally control, she is better than these people. Much stronger.

Only Xu Chengyuan, regardless of his birth and money, was the bottom one.Now that another person went to an ordinary academy by himself, once he failed to adjust his mentality properly, he would inevitably show inferiority complex when he saw Guan, Qi, and Fang.Once he despises himself, Guan, Qi, and Fang will find it difficult to classify him as the same kind of person no matter how high their personal qualities are.

But now it seems that Xu Chengyuan is okay and did not disappoint her.

Du Jinning didn't know that Xu Chengyuan took Du Jinning as his standard in everything.Seeing that Du Jinning is never humble or overbearing, no matter in front of these aristocratic families or in front of King Jing Zhao Chang.And because of her calm demeanor and her talents, these people not only did not despise her, but also respected her from the bottom of their hearts.So Xu Chengyuan realized a lot of truths from it, so he changed his petty temper and became calm and relaxed.

We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we naturally have to greet each other and ask each other how they are doing.After a while, Liang Xiankuan came, and there was another chatter. After everyone calmed down, Guan Jiaze couldn't wait to ask Du Jinning: "You said you have something to show us, what is it?"

Du Jinning then took out a stack of papers from the drawer and distributed them to everyone.

Everyone lowered their heads and took a closer look, and there were many names listed on the paper. Behind the names were their schools, writing styles, political factions, and so on.

For example, the content of the first column is like this:

Gu Xinian: The prince's grand tutor, a young teacher, and a scholar of the cabinet; the style of writing is beautiful, and he likes parallel style; a lonely minister, except for his four sons, he has no political connections.

Everyone was shocked, raised their heads, and looked at Du Jinning: "This is..."

Du Jinning nodded: "Yes, this is Enke's possible candidate to be the chief examiner."

As she spoke, she looked at Qi Muyuan: "Qi Muyuan and I made this together." She shook the paper in her hand, "Don't think there are only ten people on it, but we have to select them from dozens of officials. It's not easy."

Guan Jiaze and the others looked at the dozen or so people on the paper in their hands and nodded.

Not really.First of all, the officials of the third rank and above must be pulled out, and then those who are closely related to the second prince and the fourth prince should be eliminated, and those who are directly related to the candidates who participated in the Spring Festival this year should be found out.The first two steps are easy to handle, but it takes a lot of effort to find out the list of candidates for this year and their family background.

With the talents of Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan, there is no need to do these things at all, they just need to perform normally during the exam.The reason why the two of them have to spend so much effort is nothing more than for them.

"We won't say thank you. We will keep this kindness in our hearts." Guan Jiaze said.

Liang Xiankuan said: "Let's not talk about anything else, when we become an official, we will watch over and help each other."

"That's right." Fang Shaohua and Xu Chengyuan agreed.

Du Jinning waved his hand: "My brother, what are you talking about? Could it be that without today's paper, I will be in trouble when I become an official, and you won't help me?"

"How come?" Guan Jiaze was about to stand up to show his loyalty when he heard that, but Du Jinning fixed his eyes there: "Guan Jiaze, sit down and stop talking nonsense." Guan Jiaze could only sit down awkwardly.

Everyone else laughed "haha", and the study room was relaxed and comfortable.

Liang Xiankuan asked: "On this piece of paper, is it true that the higher the ranking, the more likely you are to be the chief examiner?"

Qi Muyuan nodded: "Exactly."

Guan Jiaze frowned, staring at the first name: "Gu Xinian, why is this name so familiar?"

Fang Shaohua didn't think much about it, and said: "He is such a big official in the court, it's normal for you to have heard his name."

Guan Jiaze shook his head; "No, I always feel that this name has some bad intentions for us."

"Could it be that Guan Banxian counted his fingers and figured out that this name is not good for us?" Fang Shaohua joked.

Before he finished speaking, he heard Qi Muyuan say: "Gu Xinian's daughter was once engaged to your fourth uncle."

In a blink of an eye, Guan Jiaze understood the key point: "It was because of his daughter that Zhou Dongping held a grudge against my fourth uncle back then, and thus made it difficult for Du Jinning in the government examination?"

All eyes fell on Du Jinning.

Du Jinning nodded and said, "Exactly."

"Damn." Guan Jiaze wanted to scold his mother, "Then we and him are not close friends?"
