Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 658

That afternoon, Qi Muyuan went to Du's house as scheduled.

At that time, Xu Chengyuan and Fang Shaohua, the sons-in-law of the Du family, had already arrived, but Guan Jiaze and Liang Xiankuan hadn't arrived yet.Qi Muyuan greeted everyone like a normal person, and sat down next to Du Jinning.

When they were in Guangxi Province, the two had been going to school together, and the yards of the two families were still opposite each other. Basically, they were inseparable when they went in and out, and their temperaments were the most congenial, so everyone agreed that Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan had the best friendship. good.

Because of this, except for Guan Jiaze, no one else would sit next to Du Jinning when they came, but leave the seat for Qi Muyuan.

Du Jinning didn't think of this habit before, but now looking at Qi Muyuan beside him, he always felt a little weird.

In front of everyone, she couldn't say anything, she just pretended that nothing happened, greeted Qi Muyuan, and then continued talking to Xu Chengyuan and Fang Shaohua.

She was asking the two of their plans for the future.

"I hope to be admitted as a good scholar." Fang Shaohua scratched his head and said, "I will stay in the capital in the future."

After he got married, because he had such a good relationship with Du Fanghui, he lingered in the gentle village and couldn't extricate himself. He couldn't put all his thoughts on his studies like before.

His grades were better than Guan Jiaze's before.But Guan Jiaze was particularly motivated because he was stimulated by his scumbag father and wanted to stand out.So as soon as the two of them advanced and retreated, Guan Jiaze did better than Fang Shaohua in the exam.

Now Fang Shaohua doesn't want to leave the capital because of Du Fanghui.Du Fanghui is pregnant, so it is not suitable for him to travel long distances to work in other places, and he does not want to be separated from his wife, so he hopes to stay in Beijing to work.

Du Jinning naturally agreed with Fang Shaohua's decision.

No matter what, Du Fanghui is her biological sister; although Fang Shaohua is a good friend, compared with her sister, she is still separated by a layer.As a younger sister, she naturally hoped that her brother-in-law would put her first priority in everything.In this era when it is reasonable and legal to find a mistress, she naturally doesn't want the husband and wife to separate, so as to give other women an opportunity.

Don't let the two live in two places, Du Fanghui worked hard here to take care of the elderly and take care of the children, while Fang Shaohua took concubines and took over the house to give birth to a few concubines and concubines.If so, she must be furious.

She thought about it carefully, and asked Fang Shaohua: "If you don't pass the exam, you are better at math, are you interested in going to the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Fang Shaohua also knew that based on his ranking in the examination, it would be difficult to become a good scholar.

Hearing Du Jinning's words, he suddenly became interested: "Hubu, can you go in? I would like to, but unfortunately..." He said, he glanced at Qi Muyuan, "haha" and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "I won't cause trouble for your family. I will go wherever the emperor sends me."

"You don't need Grandpa Qi's help, you can get what you want with your own efforts." Du Jinning said.

Not only Fang Shaohua, but also Xu Chengyuan became interested, and came over and asked, "How do you work hard?"

"The imperial examination." Du Jinning said, "The purpose of the imperial examination is not only to see whether your writing is good or not, but also to see whether you are familiar with political affairs. If you have some insights, then the higher-ups will definitely consider assigning you to the household department."

Qi Muyuan nodded from the side, and added: "In this way, it will be logical for my grandfather to help you speak."

Fang Shaohua's eyes lit up immediately, Hu Wen was a fat job.

He nodded vigorously: "Yeah, I'll work hard, I'll work hard. But Jin Ning, you have to tell your brother-in-law, where in the Ministry of Households can I offer my insights?"

Du Jinning rolled his eyes: "Think about it for yourself first. Tell me later, and we'll add it."

Speaking of her tilting her head, Aoki cleverly spread a piece of paper beside her, and put the Four Treasures of the Study on it.

Fang Shaohua had no choice but to sit there, gnawing his pen and thinking about his understanding of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Xu Chengyuan saw that Du Jinning's eyes fell on him, and said without asking him: "I have already made up my mind. I want to be an official. It is best to be a magistrate or county magistrate, who can make decisions in one place."

Among them, he was the lowest and his family background was the worst.If he stayed in the capital as a small official, he would have no advantage in his official career compared to those colleagues who had the support of aristocratic families or who knew how to make money.But living in the capital is not easy, he can't even afford a house, let alone how to support a family with that meager salary.

It was thanks to Du Jinning that he was able to successfully pass the Jinshi examination these years. He hoped to go to other places to work hard, instead of staying in the capital and waiting for Du Jinning to help him.

In his opinion, even if Qibo Kunken helped him, it was for Du Jinning's sake.

He has been with Du Jinning these years, and he has been deeply influenced by his thinking, ability, and conduct in the world. He hopes to be an official in a place where he can make good use of the skills he learned from Du Jinning, and at the same time accumulate some wealth. Industry - as a chief official in a foreign position, even if he is not corrupt and perverting the law, the rewards are much more lucrative than in the capital.When working in various ministries and commissions in the capital, the officials at the top will naturally get the oil and water. When they are low-level officials like them, it is very rare to have some soup to drink.

If he has the ability, he will naturally be able to come to the capital again in ten or eight years. At that time, he will not have a lot of money, and his family will also go up. It will no longer be Du Jinning's drag, but help; Be honest and be an official in the local area, live his life leisurely, and don't come to make trouble for Du Jinning.There are as many bowls as you can eat, so that you will be at ease.

Du Jinning could guess what Xu Chengyuan was thinking without asking.She admired her eldest brother-in-law more and more.

"Then think about the essays you will write for the entrance examination. I hope you can go to a more affluent place to serve as a chief official." In this way, the eldest sister and nephew will not have to suffer.

Xu Chengyuan nodded, and consciously sat next to Fang Shaohua, thinking about how to write an article.

Qi Muyuan turned his head and looked at Du Jinning with gentle eyes: "What about you? Where do you plan to work?"

Du Jinning felt a little uncomfortable being watched by him.

This guy, since he pierced that layer of window paper, has been provocative all the time.

She doesn't like this ambiguity.It would be fine if she could promise Qi Muyuan, but she couldn't.

She glared at him, gritted her teeth and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't look at me like that again. If you move my heart, you will suffer."

"Oh? How did you suffer? Let's hear it." Qi Muyuan looked at Du Jinning with his deep eyes, with a faint smile on his face.

"I'm very domineering and I don't like others touching my things. At that time, not only will you not be able to marry wives and concubines, but you will not be able to touch any woman." Du Jinning raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips, and looked at him jokingly, "You Can it be done?"
