Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 838 Plans and Rumors
Seeing Du Jinning's handwritten letter at the contact point, Qi Muyuan almost shed tears.

Although the more he got to the back, the more he was sure that Du Jinning escaped by himself and was not killed by others, but the worry in his heart never let go.

Now that Du Jinning is safe and well, and there is definite news, why not call Qi Muyuan with mixed feelings?The thoughtfulness revealed between the lines in her words made his heart burst with vitality and vigor like a dead tree meeting nectar.

Qi Muyuan returned home, and said to Qi Bokun who came back from the palace with a tired face: "Du Jinning sent a message."

"Oh?" Qi Bokun immediately cheered up and asked, "How is she?"

"Very good." Qi Muyuan said, "She didn't say anything else, she just asked if she would use her original name if she showed up, or would she need to change her appearance and completely change her identity."

Qi Bokun frowned, thinking about this question carefully.

Changing Du Jinning's identity can actually solve many problems.She no longer needs to be prosecuted for the original crime of deceiving the emperor, nor will she be criticized because she went to the academy to study, took the imperial examination, was an official together, and was with men all the time.

The aristocratic family fell apart because of Du Jinning's disappearance, and the aristocratic family must hate her to the bone.After she came back, the aristocratic family didn't dare to trouble her openly, but it was predictable to slander her with rumors.

All the mouths make gold, and the accumulation destroys the bones.A man, much less a woman, could kill himself if he got caught up in gossip.

In addition, Qi Muyuan will also be ridiculed.

But if he changed his identity, it was impossible for Du Jinning to wear a veil all the time when he was walking outside.Her appearance is very similar to Du Jinning, and she will also solve the problem of high-yield rice that has stumped all the officials of the Ministry of Industry. Even if she changes her name, it is just a lie, and she cannot hide the fact that she is Du Jinning.Doing so will instead lose the original merit and gain a bad reputation for fooling the people.

In short, it is not good to do anything.

He said, "What did Du Jinning say?"

Qi Muyuan shook his head: "She didn't say anything, she just asked this question."

As an old fox who had the same channel as Du Jinning's brain waves, Qi Bokun instantly understood what Du Jinning meant.

She wanted to know what the Qi family thought.

If the Qi family is not afraid of rumors, she will naturally return with her original identity; if the Qi family asks her to change her name, it's hard to say what she... is thinking.

He raised his eyes, took a deep look at his grandson, and said, "If you think about it, you understand what she means by asking this question, right? So, what do you think?"

Qi Muyuan smiled casually: "I'm not even afraid of the name of Duanxiu, but am I afraid of other people's unfounded rumors? Du Jinning and I grew up together. We went to school together, took the imperial examination and became officials together. Who wants to gossip about Du Jinning? I sprayed him in the face."

Upon hearing the latter sentence, Qi Bokun felt relieved.

That's right, Du Jinning went to school with his future husband and took the imperial examination together to be an official. Even if there was anything, he was just with Qi Muyuan.Saying that she had an affair with another man, what did Qi Muyuan take for that, a fool?A fool can be admitted to Tanhua, and in just three years, he can achieve the position of the fifth grade in Dali Temple, and specialize in investigating major cases?Where do those who spread gossip put the Qi family?
Furthermore, if Du Jinning was named a princess, he would be a royal.Criticize the royal family, when Qi Muyuan's secret service agency will be dispatched to find out a few people and severely punish them, no one will dare to gossip anymore.

There is no aristocratic family to provoke troubles, and ordinary people have no conscience unless they don't eat the rice researched by Du Jinning.If you guide public opinion in this direction, you will have nothing to fear.

He sighed: "I think too much. All right, just do as you said."

After talking about this question, Qi Muyuan asked the second question: "Du Jinning also asked, is the emperor satisfied with the current Jiang family?"

Qi Bokun was slightly startled, then his eyes lit up, and he became more interested: "She means..." He blinked and didn't continue.

Some words need not be said, everyone knows what they mean.

He stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said to Qi Muyuan: "Don't reply in a hurry, I'll find out what the emperor has to say tomorrow."

Qi Bokun, an old fox who has been in the court all his life, can turn more than a dozen corners if he wants to talk about the wind, so people don't know that he is talking nonsense.

The next day, he came back after taking Zhao He's words, and said to Qi Muyuan: "Tell Du Jinning that the emperor was only a temporary compromise at the beginning. It is the emperor's wish to be able to weaken or eliminate the Jiang family."

Qi Muyuan nodded, wrote a letter, went to the contact point that night, and put the letter in.

This contact point is actually a very ordinary dilapidated small courtyard. When Du Jinning redistributed the property to his sisters to make up for the dowry, he mixed it with Du Fangfei's property, but the title deed was in her own hands.Du Fangfei was not as shrewd as Du Fangling and Du Fanghui, so she didn't even know that such a courtyard existed.So except for Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan, the yard is usually empty.

Because it is too dilapidated, it rains and leaks, and it is ventilated on all sides, so even beggars are unwilling to live in it; in addition, their letters are kept in a relatively secret place, unless they are followed, no one will find out that it is them. point of contact.

After contacting twice in this way, the two parties made a plan without anyone noticing.

But if you want to do it really, you can't rush it.The time is set after the officials who went to Japan to find someone come back.

At this time, it depends on luck to take a boat to Japan. If you are lucky, you will get there in ten to 20 days;

So if it doesn't go well, Du Jinning may not be able to return to the capital in half a year.

Fortunately, Qi Muyuan is not an impulsive person.Even if he missed Du Jinning again, he knew that Du Jinning's whereabouts should not be revealed at this time, otherwise all previous efforts would be wasted.Du Jinning never said where she was in the letter, and he didn't ask, nor did he ambush the person who took the letter at the contact point.

As time passed day by day, the officials of Honglu Temple went to Japan in summer, and they came back when the weather turned cooler and autumn came.He also brought back news that Du Jinning was not in Japan.

But I don't know how this word spread, it spread out all at once, and the common people knew it.The most important thing is that the news has changed a lot if it is passed on from ten to ten.

The gossip in the market said that Du Jinning was actually in Japan, but he just hid, and the officials of Song Dynasty did not find him.

Rumors also said that Du Jinning was a Japanese who fled after being hunted down by the family. The Japanese king admired him so much that he married the princess to him.Master Du Jinning reciprocated, and benefited the people of Japan with the high-yield rice he researched, and planned to stay in Japan and never come back...

As soon as this rumor came out, and thinking about how the incompetent officials of the Ministry of Industry made the high-yield rice worse than ordinary rice, the people in the entire capital were blown up.

　Thank you for your concern and support.It's not good to talk about personal matters here, and if I talk too much, I will cry.There is only one update today, see you tomorrow
