Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 793
In Zhizhou's room, Guan Jiatian couldn't help frowning at Du Jinning after hearing Zhao Yu's intention conveyed by Qi Muyuan.

He knew that Qi Muyuan had a very good relationship with Du Jinning, so he didn't shy away from it. He directly reminded Du Jinning: "Junior Brother, you have to think carefully, this matter is related to your whole life. With this taint, if you want to be in a high position in the future, I'm afraid it won't work." easy."

Du Jinning smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "The emperor has ordered, can I have a choice?"

Guan Jiatian was silent.

Once Zhao He was rejected, Du Jinning, an official, would be done.No matter how much contribution he makes in the future, Zhao Huo will give an official position, such as going to a remote and impoverished area to serve as a magistrate or magistrate.It might be better to follow the will and give up Ding You.

He sighed and said seriously: "Don't worry, I haven't told anyone about the news of your grandfather's death. As long as your family members keep it secret, at least no one will know it for a short time."

Du Jinning nodded: "Thank you, brother. The cousin who came to report the funeral was tired on the road and caught cold. After entering the house to report the funeral, he was bedridden and did not go out for a walk. The number of servants who knew that he came to report the funeral was very limited. It is trustworthy, and I will tell them not to spread the matter to the outside world."

There are not many servants in the Du family, and most of them are women who live in the backyard with the Chen family.Due to Du Jinning's own secrets, the front yard where she lives has never allowed other servants to hang out.

That day she and Mrs. Chen were talking alone in her courtyard. Du Jinde didn't come in until the door of Du's house, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, led by old man Zhu. He didn't meet anyone along the way.

Knowing that Du Chensheng wanted Ding You after his death, Du Jinning immediately arranged Du Jinde in the yard closest to his own yard, and asked Chimu, a servant from Qin Laoliu, to serve him, and ordered Chimu to lay down for him. Take medicine to make sure he doesn't walk around talking.

Although the Du family received a part of the inheritance from Du Zheyan's branch, not many were allocated to Du Yunyi's head, only a few dozen acres of land were added, and there were not many servants added to the family.When Du Jinde came, he brought only one servant, a strong man temporarily hired from the street to act as a driver and guard.She ordered Chi Mu to prescribe the medicine for these two servants, and they lay on the bed together.

Therefore, the number of people who knew that Du Jinde came to report the funeral was extremely limited.If it wasn't for the need to arrange accommodation for the three of Du Jinde, and because Yao Shuqi was so trusted by her, she wouldn't even let him know about it.

Seeing that Du Jinning had made up his mind, Guan Jiatian turned to Qi Muyuan: "Since that's the case, I will never say a word here. Please rest assured, Your Majesty and Lord Qi."

Qi Muyuan nodded, stood up and cupped his hands: "So, let's take our leave first."

"Thank you, Master Qi." Guan Jiatian was very polite.

When Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning came out, they met Ma Jian who was waiting there specially.The two greeted each other, and Qi Muyuan left the Yamen with Du Jinning.

Back at Du's house, Qi Muyuan asked, "What about your cousin?"

Du Jinning said: "Let's talk to him when we have the result."

Du Jinde can't be careless, he can only reveal part of the truth to him, tell him that this is the emperor's holy will, and make the consequences more serious.After all, Lishui County and Taohua Village had him to help cover it up.

Qi Muyuan hugged her into his arms and asked her: "What are your plans after getting the handwriting? Although there is a layer of insurance with the emperor's handwriting, it is still unpredictable what the consequences will be if the family exerts pressure on the emperor. Unless you get the Danshu Iron Coupon."

Du Jinning shook his head: "It's impossible for Dan Shu's iron certificate."

At first, she still had some illusions, but seeing that Zhao He couldn't even wait for Ding You for a year, she knew that the situation in Beijing was not good.

As long as Zhao Yu can't fully control the situation, it is impossible to get this iron coupon of the Danshu - how can such a thing, so many families covet it, let her, a small official from a poor family, get it?Unless the country is about to be destroyed, she will turn the tide at the critical moment.

"Then why don't you wait two or three years and see the situation?" Qi Muyuan said.

He let go of Du Jinning and stared into her eyes: "Jinning, although I long to be with you as soon as possible, I will not let you fall into any dangerous situation. If it is dangerous, even if I cannot get married in this life, I will not let you You exposed your identity."

Du Jinning shook his head: "I can't hide it. I used to be young, and I could tell the difference between male and female. But as I grow older, the characteristics of women are obvious, and it is easy to reveal the truth."

She smiled bitterly and said, "Now that I'm a small official and I'm staying in the country, no one is watching me, so I'm safer. After the successful research on hybrid rice, the emperor will definitely transfer me to the capital, and my official position will rise step by step. When I am able to go to court, win the favor of the emperor, and participate in the important decisions of the court, the family will definitely regard me as a thorn in the side. At that time, as long as someone becomes suspicious, and then designs a temptation, as long as someone is not careful, I will have to reveal the truth. Wait until then If you try to run away, you won't be able to."

Just thinking about the situation, Qi Muyuan shuddered: "Then let's make a plan early, let's discuss in detail how to do it."

"Okay." Du Jinning said.

This matter would not have been possible without the help of Qi Bokun and Qi Muyuan, and Du Jinning's plan would naturally not be hidden from them.It's just that she won't tell the whole story about some details, not because she doesn't trust Qi Muyuan, but because of Qi Muyuan - if Qi Muyuan knows where she is hiding, what should he do if Zhao Huo or the family threaten him with his family?

Du Jinning would never let Qi Muyuan fall into the river as his daughter-in-law and mother, so which one to save first.Unless the man has no heart, or is a beast, disregards the love of his wife, or does not love his wife, it is a dilemma with basically no solution.

If a man gave up his mother's life for you, would you dare to spend your whole life with such a man without conscience?As long as the love in his heart fades, he will abandon you like a shoe.But love has a shelf life, and the longest period of this shelf life is no more than seven years.

For the next time, the two of them didn't chirp me and me, but discussed what to do next until late at night.On the second day, Qi Muyuan returned to the capital.

When Qi Muyuan handed over the memorial to Ding Youbao written by Du Jinning himself to Qi Bokun, Qi Bokun went to the palace immediately regardless of it was getting late, and handed over a sign to ask to see the emperor.

Qi Muyuan waited restlessly at home.

After a full hour, Qi Bokun came back and handed Qi Muyuan a roll of emerald silk: "It's done."

Qi Muyuan was overjoyed, he opened the handbook and read it carefully, and found that it was true that he was exonerated from the death penalty once, so he put his heart in his stomach.

He asked: "Is the emperor upset?"

Qi Bokun smiled complacently: "You think I am you, young and energetic, and I don't care about the importance of what I say. I only take Du Jinning's difficulties and its importance to Song Dynasty. In the end, the emperor was embarrassed for a long time and offered to give Du Jinning Write a letter."

Qi Muyuan knelt down, and gratefully kowtowed to Qi Bokun three times: "Xiaoyuan and Jinning thank you grandfather."
