Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 699
Worried that Zhao Mingyue would do something stupid, Queen Mother Zheng's movements were indeed fast, but there were others who moved faster than her.

Zhao Mingyue was able to go out for a walk even when the Queen Mother Zheng didn't allow her to leave the palace, which shows that she is still very capable.

Her ability lies in the medicine.

Living in a palace full of dangers and life and death, if you don't have some poison or drugs at hand, you will be ashamed to hang out in the palace.Zhao Mingyue, as the daughter of Concubine Zheng, the winner of the palace fight, naturally cannot be weak in this aspect.

It's not that she can make medicines by herself, but she has a nun who is very good at distinguishing between medicines and medicines.

Therefore, after she was escorted back to the bedroom by the Queen Mother Zheng's palace servants, she directly put a handful of drugs, knocking out both the Queen Mother and the palace servants around her, and changed into a little eunuch's clothes by herself, and took one out of the palace. The token slipped out and went straight to Du Jinning's house.

At this time, Du Jinning was packing up and preparing to take office.

At this time, Liangzhe West Road was roughly located in Jiangsu Province in later generations.She will go to Runzhou, the capital city of Zhenjiang Prefecture, to be a co-prefect, equivalent to the deputy mayor of the city where the provincial capital is located in later generations.Moreover, there is no quota for this position, adding one does not need to remove one of the original officials.In the past, Du Jinning didn't need to worry about anything else, he only needed to conduct agricultural research according to his own wishes.

This is very much in Du Jinning's mind.

In fact, Zhao Hue originally wanted to arrange for her to be in a place closest to the capital, so that he could send someone to look at Du Jinning's research results when he was free.

However, 80.00% of the farmland near the capital is owned by the major families in the capital. Du Jinning is doing agricultural research there, and his every move is under the watchful eye of the family.

Neither Zhao He nor Du Jinning could tolerate this.

And Zhenjiang Mansion on Liangzhe West Road was originally the hometown of a confidant of the second prince, and most of the farmland here was controlled by this family.After Zhao Yu ascended the throne, he beheaded the confidant of the second prince and ransacked his family. All the farmland under his family name was taken over by the imperial court, and the rest of the small-use farmland was in the hands of various small places.Therefore, the whole state is not controlled by aristocratic families, and it is very cheap for Du Jinning to operate.

This place was originally a land of fish and rice, located in southern Jiangsu, where rice can be harvested twice a year, making it an ideal place for experiments.Although it is three to four hundred kilometers away from the capital, but if you hurry up, you can get back to the capital in a day, and the distance from the capital is relatively not too far.

However, officials cannot resign without a reason. Du Jinning plans to stay there for two years, so he will naturally pack up and take away all the family's belongings.

After Qi Muyuan came out of the Imperial Academy, he didn't immediately go to Dali Temple to take up his post. He asked for a few days off to help Du Jinning pack his things.

At this moment, Zhao Mingyue climbed over the wall and entered Du's house.

Zhang Songtao's courtyard guards did not dare to get too close to Du Jinning's courtyard due to the relationship with the imperial guards, and some of them usually guarded the wall.Seeing a weird kid suddenly come in from Ji's house over the wall, Liu Daqing wanted to catch him as soon as he moved.

Zhang Songtao and Zhou Cheng were cautious, and quickly stopped Liu Daqing, saying: "Don't move, this seems to be the Princess Lu who came over the wall last time."

Because of what happened on the first day they entered the capital, they were particularly impressed with Princess Lu.The last time Zhao Mingyue came to Du's house, she turned over from Ji's mansion, so even though Zhao Mingyue changed her attire, they still recognized her.

"She should be harmless, let's follow her to see." Zhang Songtao rubbed his chin and said.

As the head of the Du family's courtyard guard, he was aware of the movements of the entire Du family's house.There are not only two guards sent by the emperor, but also people come to spy on it from time to time.

When he reported to Du Jinning, Du Jinning told him not to act rashly. As long as those people don't do anything that endangers Du's mansion, they just need to try their best to find out who is coming, and there is no need to confront them head-on.

Seeing that Liu Daqing stopped after hearing his words, he gestured to the two of them, and followed behind Zhao Mingyue himself.

He had to ensure the young master's safety.If Zhao Mingyue did anything to endanger the Du family, he would naturally take action.

Although Zhao Mingyue came to Du's residence once, he was taken directly to the backyard that time, so he didn't know where Du Jinning lived.

However, the ancient hierarchy and rules are strict, so it is not difficult to find Du Jinning.Unmarried men like Du Jinning live in the front yard, while hostesses like Chen live in the back yard.And because of their noble status in the family, the houses they live in are all located on the central axis.

Zhao Mingyue identified the direction, found the same gate location as Ji's house, and ran towards the front yard.

But soon she found sadly that Du's house was not built as she imagined.The yard here is one east and one west, with either forests, flowers and plants or ponds in the middle, and there is even a place where rice is planted.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Mingyue was amazed.It really deserves to be the home of her favorite lover, just different.

However, it is much more difficult to find Du Jinning's yard in this way.

Fortunately, because of the move, the servants were busy packing their things, and there were servants walking around in the house from time to time.

Not long after Zhao Mingyue left, she met a woman.Before the mother-in-law could react, she happily went up to her and asked the way, "Old woman, how can I get to Du Jinning's yard?"

The mother-in-law was stunned and couldn't help but glanced around.

Isn't she in the Du family's house, but on the road outside?Why did this strange girl in men's clothing ask for directions so naturally?

No, this is obviously the Du residence.

Her eyes suddenly became sharp, and she sternly said to Zhao Mingyue, "Who are you? Why are you at Du's house?" She wanted to call someone as she spoke.

"Don't, don't, don't call me." Zhao Mingyue quickly waved her hand, "I came from the palace, I have urgent business with your young master, you take me to see him quickly."

"In the palace?" The mother-in-law hesitated.

She knows that her young master works in the palace.If people from the palace come, she really has to help lead the way.

She took a look at Zhao Mingyue's appearance, and saw that she was very beautiful, and her words and deeds seemed to be quite generous, she did not look like a thief with evil eyebrows and mouse eyes at all.

After thinking about it, she said, "Okay then, I'll take you there."

As she said that, she looked around, saw a male servant in the distance, and quickly called him: "Xiao Si, come here."

When the boy called Xiao Si ran over, she said, "Come on, take this girl to the young master with me."

Zhang Songtao, who was hiding behind, nodded.

At least this woman is not stupid, she knows to ask the servant to send it with her.Once this girl has any disadvantages to the young master, at least there is a man who can restrain her.

The three of them arrived at Du Jinning's courtyard together, and the mother-in-law winked at Xiaosi and told him to keep an eye on Zhao Mingyue, while she slammed on the door of Du Jinning's courtyard.
