Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 688 Plan
When Du Jinning came home from the office that day, he heard Yao Shuqi report that Mrs. Ji had brought her daughter here, and that she wanted her daughter to play with Chen Li.

Du Jinning had a headache: "What are they trying to do?"

Because of Zhao Chang, Ji Shu didn't dare to make friends with other ministers, so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion of Zhao Chang.So even if it was Mrs. Ji's birthday, he didn't invite anyone, at most it was just two or three good friends with him - all of them were minor officials of the fifth or sixth rank, as well as relatives and neighbors of the Ji family.

Therefore, Mrs. Ji also lives in seclusion and rarely socializes with the wives of other officials.And the last time she came to the mansion to help Zhao Mingyue spread the word, Du Jinning also noticed that this person was probably related to the prince and had a relatively arrogant temper, so he didn't think highly of people from such a poor family like the Chen family.

Therefore, although the two families live next to each other, they seldom communicate with each other. It was just that old lady Ji came to celebrate her birthday once, and Ji Shu came to celebrate when she was admitted to the first prize, and it was considered as repayment.Other than that, no more movement.

Now Mrs. Ji came here suddenly with her daughter, and after she met Zhao Mingyue today, she would not believe that there was no connection between the two.

Even though Yao Shuqi was the butler, it was impossible for female guests to entertain them because of the difference between men and women, but this did not prevent him from inquiring about everything afterwards.

He roughly described the words and deeds of their mother and daughter.

In fact, it's nothing, it's just a show of intimacy, and I didn't say anything else.

"Let them go. They come as guests. We can't keep people out. They can come if they want." Du Jinning waved his hand.

She has the reputation of restraining his wife, so it is impossible for the Empress Dowager to marry Zhao Mingyue to her again, right?The emperor's sister, it's not like she can't get married.The Queen Mother is Zhao Mingyue's biological mother.

"How is the cousin girl?" Du Jinning asked.

When this cousin came to the house, Du Jinning never met her face to face because he was afraid that she would have thoughts in his heart.Moreover, Chen Li is Chen's niece, and it is impossible for Chen to treat her badly, so Du Jinning seldom cares about Chen Li's affairs, so as not to be misunderstood.

Worried that it would affect Chen Li's future life, Mrs. Chen seldom took her out when she went out to socialize, and she seldom let her out when guests came, so Chen Li became a young lady in a deep boudoir. He didn't take two steps out of the door.

Now that someone her age came to talk to her, she might be very happy.

Sure enough, Yao Shuqi said: "Biao girl is very happy, chatting with Ji girl very happily. Ji girl even invited her to visit Ji's mansion, but Biao girl didn't dare to accept, so she had to ask the wife. The wife refused."

"Although I don't know what they are here for, but the mother and daughter of the Ji family came with a certain purpose. It is better not to let the cousin girl get in touch too much, so as not to cause something to be wronged by others." Du Jinning said.

The last time we met, she found that Chen Li was too introverted and had low self-esteem. It would be good for her to go out and walk more.But the motives of the Ji family's mother and daughter are obviously impure. Considering Zhao Mingyue's bold appearance, it's better to be careful.

Yao Shuqi also nodded in agreement: "The old slave will remind the wife."

Du Jinning glanced at the two trees in the distance, waved and said, "Okay, it's okay, you can go now."

……

In the Qi family, Qi Bokun, who came home after a tiring day, held a letter in his hand and was rubbing his brows wearily.

Old man Hong wrote this letter and sent someone to scold him.

Before the palace examination, old man Hong came over to mention the marriage between Qi Muyuan and his granddaughter. At that time, Qi Bokun said that he would discuss it with his grandson, and this matter would be discussed after the palace examination, so he put the matter on hold.

After the palace examination, Qi Muyuan said that he liked Du Jinning and he was unwilling to get married.Qi Bokun was still harboring fantasies, hoping that his grandson would listen to his advice, at least marry a wife and have children, and carry on the family line; and because he was too busy to ask old man Hong about this matter, he never responded to old man Hong.

For this, old man Hong scolded him bloody in the letter.

Qi Bokun thought about it, sent someone to call Qi Muyuan over without any hope, showed him the letter from old man Hong, and said, "I won't interfere with you and Du Jinning, but I hope you can get married and have children. It can be regarded as an explanation to the family to me and your parents."

"Grandfather." Qi Muyuan said earnestly, "If I marry a girl from the Hong family, and one day they find out that I have a man in my heart, think about how they will react, whether they will directly cut off my future in court ?”

Qi Bokun was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "That's true."

The Hong family is not weaker than the Qi family.With old man Hong's regard for that granddaughter and his fiery temper, if he knew that Qi Muyuan was a broken sleeve, and the Qi family let him marry his granddaughter, he would have to smash the Qi family, and it was very likely that Qi Muyuan's future would be cut off.

"How about we find a girl from a small family?" He asked tentatively.

Qi Muyuan shook his head: "Who wasn't raised by his parents? A girl from a small family is also a human being, why should we harm others?" He stood up, "Anyway, I don't know how to marry a wife, even if you marry me back , I don’t touch it either.” He said, and walked out directly.

"You son of a bitch!" Qi Bokun cursed, feeling very headache.

At this time, the servant who had been waiting outside to pass on the news came in, and Qi Bokun said: "Old Master, Madam said that a few days are the birthday of the eldest master of the Su family. Went to Su's house once. She asked you if she could take the young master there that day. It happened to be Muxiu that day, and the young master was free."

Qi Bokun opened his mouth and wanted to refuse.

He looked down on the Su family, for fear that the Su family would lead Qi Muyuan and Qi Mulin into trouble, and he never allowed them to get too close to the Su family.With his power, he doesn't need to give the Su family any face.So the Su family can go back to his natal family, but he is not allowed to bring his grandson to the Su family, or let the Su family brothers come over to play frequently.

But when the words of refusal reached his lips, he swallowed them again.

He thought of Qi Muyuan's love for Qi Muyuan, a girl from the Su family, and the Su family's desire for this marriage.

Qi Muyuan was very regretful that he couldn't marry a girl from the Hong family; Qi Muyuan didn't want to harm the innocent girl from a small family, and he also admired his grandson's kindness.But if the Su family and the girl from the Su family want to plan Qi Muyuan's marriage wholeheartedly, then it doesn't matter if Qi Muyuan harms the Su family, one is willing to beat the other.

Since the Su family wanted to plot against Qi Muyuan's marriage, they would naturally have to bear the consequences.They wanted to cling to the Qi family, and apart from their daughter's happiness, they also got their wish in other aspects.The Qi family really had nothing to do with them.

Furthermore, Qi Muyuan hadn't tasted the taste of a woman yet, and he couldn't tell the difference between brotherly love and male-female love.Once he was allowed to taste the meat, maybe his affection for Du Jinning, which is not tolerated by the world, would fade away.From then on, Du Jinning was treated simply as a brother.

Thinking about it this way, Qi Bokun's refusal to export became: "Yes."
