Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 648 Mrs. Ji

Qi Muyuan was taken aback: "Why?"

When we arrived at the library in the morning, everyone didn't read the book right away, but wrote out their own articles for everyone to read.

Although his articles are better than the others, compared with Du Jinning, they are still worse.

After all, he is a real 17-year-old boy and an out-and-out ancient man.No matter how smart he is, how can he compare with Du Jinning, who has lived two lifetimes and stood on the shoulders of giants?
"Trust my eyes." Du Jinning smiled.

In fact, everyone is not a dull person. After listening to Du Jinning's analysis of the situation in the court many times, their thinking is no longer as superficial as ordinary students, but they will start from the overall situation and think deeply.Now that Du Jinning said this, they thought about it and understood what Du Jinning meant.

Guan Jiaze was worried about Qi Muyuan's embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "Anyway, it is our honor to be the champion among our brothers. Qi Muyuan, you must burn incense well when you go back, and don't let the champion's title be taken away by others."

Everyone laughed and agreed with Guan Jiaze.

Qi Muyuan frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "If this is the case, I should be ashamed."

"Don't say that, it will cause trouble if people listen to it." Du Jinning said sternly, "Thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king. The emperor has his own reasons for naming the number one scholar. Those who are selected, just accept it. "

Qi Muyuan naturally knew that if the title of No. [-] Scholar really fell to him, he would have inherited the shadow of his ancestors.And this is not something he can just refuse if he wants to.

He sighed, "You're right." But he still had to do his best, and he didn't want to inherit the shadow of his ancestors.

"Let's go, it's getting late, let's go to the dining hall for dinner." Du Jinning waved his hand.

"Go to the dining hall?" Guan Jiaze yelled strangely, "No matter what, today is a special day, we must go to a better restaurant to have a good meal, right?"

Du Jinning raised his eyebrows: "Do you think that I called you here today to really read a book?"

Everyone has wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Fang Shaohua followed her words and asked, "Why not read a book?"

"Of course they are people who avoid coming to congratulate you." Du Jinning spread his hands, "If you don't mind being bothered, you can go out to eat or go home now."

Thinking that the restaurant was full of Gongsheng who had tried everything, and relatives who came out of nowhere, all of them were warmly making friends, and Guan Jiaze shook his head like a rattle: "Forget it, it's still Let's eat in the dining hall."

……

Speaking of congratulations, Chen's got up early today and received a lot of close neighbors.

Although the final ranking of the palace examination has not yet been released, but after passing the examination, he is already a quasi-jinshi.Moreover, Du Jinning was a member of the Huiyuan during the examination, no matter how bad the palace examination is, it is impossible to be so bad.First class depends on luck, but second class is absolutely impossible.

So it's better to make a cold start before the list is released, than to come back after the list is released, at least it will not be offensive, and the reputation will be better.So from early this morning, there has been an endless stream of people visiting Du's house.

Yao Shuqi told all the male guests that came: the master of Taixue came to see Du Jinning for something, so his young master was not at home, and he received the male guests on his behalf.

After entering the door, although it was a pity that I didn't see the new Jinshi, some people were unhappy, but it was not easy to turn around and leave.They will all sit in the hall and give congratulatory gifts.Say a few polite words to Yao Shuqi, and the guests will leave.When leaving, Yao Shuqi would always return gifts of considerable value.

When a female guest comes to visit, Chen can no longer push it out, and can only receive it with a smiling face.

Fortunately, everyone came to congratulate him, and all they said were praises of Du Jinning.Mrs. Chen loves to hear these words, and treating guests is not a hard job for her.

No, when she heard Mrs. Ji's wife next door come over to congratulate her, even though she was a little tired, she happily welcomed him in.

Mrs. Ji first congratulated Du Jinning, praised Du Jinning, and praised Chen's good fortune, then asked, "Is your son 15 years old this year? When do you plan to get married?"

Women love to care about this, and Mrs. Chen often hears such things.

She didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and replied with a smile: "Boy, it's not good to get married too early, at least seventeen or eighteen years old. Our brother Ning, don't worry."

Although the ancients lacked medical knowledge, the experience summed up over thousands of years let them also know that boys get married too early, their bodies have not yet developed, they are young and unrestrained, and it is very easy for men and women to have sex too often Injury to the body and loss of longevity; girls who conceive and give birth too early are also prone to premature death, which is very bad for the body.

Therefore, among the people, it is reasonable for women to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen and for men to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ji's heart was relieved, but her mission today was more than that.

She smiled and said: "You are talking about Zhenglier. Although a grandson is important, he can't compare to a son. The son's health is good, and longevity is the most important thing. If you have a son, are you afraid of not having a grandson? "

If you put these words in other wives' wives, they will definitely be recognized in every way.

It's just that the Chen family doesn't have a son, so they don't know much about it.

She nodded with a smile, and said perfunctorily, "It's true."

"I heard that your brother Ning has already engaged. She is your natal niece? Why don't you take her out to meet guests so that you can train her? Your brother Ning must be a high-ranking official in the future and have a great future. Yes, your niece can't see the world. You can't marry him in the future, and you still take care of the house for him, taking care of the inside and outside, right? We have worked hard all our lives, and it's time to enjoy life and let our children The daughter-in-law has taken care of us. Why don't you want our old bones to serve them?"

If Chen Li is indeed the future daughter-in-law of the Chen family, she will naturally train her as Mrs. Ji said.

It's just that the mother and daughter have the idea of ​​marrying Chen Li in the future, so naturally, the less people have seen Chen Li, the better.So Mrs. Chen never brought Chen Li with her when she came out to entertain guests or visit other people's homes.Except for Princess Lu Zhao Mingyue who met her by chance, the others really didn't know what Chen Li looked like.

When they were in Guangxi Province, the neighbors saw Chen's beautiful appearance and decent manners, so they thought her niece should be not bad.At that time, Du Jinning was only a scholar or a scholar, and his status was not very noble, so no one judged this marriage.

Now that Mrs. Ji said that, every sentence is reasonable, and it is for the good of Mrs. Chen, but Mrs. Chen really doesn't know how to refuse.

She could only laugh and said: "The child grew up in the countryside before, and she still can't speak and behave well. If you ask her to come out to meet people now and be ridiculed by others, it will not be beautiful. I will teach her well in the future. Then take her out to meet the world. Anyway, it will take two or three years before we get married, I have plenty of time to teach her, don't worry."
