Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 874 Want to see her

After the imperial decree was drafted, it was sent directly to Zhuangzi by Eunuch Jin.

Du Jinning was still watching the harvesting of rice. Hearing that there was an imperial decree and that she was going to be made a chief minister, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

At the beginning, she told Qi Bokun and Yuan Xiuzhu that she wanted to be a big farmer, but it was because she wanted to research and promote high-yield rice, and she wanted to express her ambition to the two old people. She just said it casually, not really wanting to be a big farmer. Si Nong is in this position.

She is not an ignorant child, how could she not know that a child from a poor family, no matter how smart and capable, if he wants to be a third-rank official like Dasinong, he has to work hard all his life, even if he is less than four or fifty years old?But can she disguise herself as a man for a lifetime?Totally impossible.So this ideal can only be an ideal.

Unexpectedly, she was only 19 years old, and after she recovered her daughter, she could really become a major farmer.

As calm as she was, she couldn't help but feel the urge to cry.

She knelt down and expressed her sincerity to the imperial decree: "I must live up to the emperor's kindness of knowing you, and I will do my best and die."

Eunuch Jin handed the imperial decree to her, and when Du Jinning got up, he smiled and congratulated her: "Congratulations princess, our family has to call you Mrs. Du now."

The eldest princess is a first-rank noble, the chief minister is a third-rank official, and Du Jinning has not been promoted.But there is still a big difference between false titles and actual titles.

An eldest princess, the courtiers would treat her courteously because of their awe of the royal family, but it was impossible to really respect each other.If the eldest princess really wants to be rude to the courtiers, the emperor will definitely scold and punish the princess instead of punishing the ministers in order not to chill the ministers.

But Du Jinning is different. She became an official by her own ability. Ministers may feel uncomfortable because she is a woman, but they absolutely dare not be rude to her face to face. Dare to speak strange things.

If you have the ability, don't eat the rice researched by Du Dasinong, and don't grow high-yielding rice in your own fields!
If you are not convinced, you can also develop rice with an yield of eight or nine shi per mu, and squeeze Mr. Du from the position of chief minister, showing that you, a big man, are better than her!
If you can't do it, hold back.How dare you be rude and speak strange things behind your back?Why is the face so big?

This kind of awkwardness, helplessness, and faint admiration not only existed in the hearts of the officials of the Ministry of Industry who heard the imperial decree, but also the complex mentality of the ministers who came out of the palace after the imperial court was over.

"Hey, in the future, will we have to stand in the court hall with women?" A minister said unconvincedly.

Another minister thought about it: "During the Tang Dynasty, there were still women sitting on dragon chairs and men standing respectfully under the hall."

These words made the other party speechless.

Someone next to him said, "It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman, as long as you have the ability, it doesn't matter if you stand in the hall. We don't have to be convinced by the eldest princess' ability. Look at the performance of the people in the Ministry of Industry after she disappeared, and look at the eldest princess's ability." Princess, that is a person with real ability. Anyway, the eldest princess stands in the hall, and I am convinced."

After the dynasty disbanded, the news that Du Jinning became the chief minister was brought to the yamen by the courtiers, and such dialogues were staged in every yamen.

This was also the Tang and Song dynasties, relatively enlightened, with little restraint on women, and Wu Zetian set a precedent and became a female emperor.Now that Du Jinning beat an official of the court with his strength, everyone happily accepted the fact after being awkward for a while.

Even when Hong Huazhong returned home, he told his old woman about this matter, and he was very emotional, and suggested: "In the future, the girls in the family should not just learn some piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and other things to serve others, let them learn more. Read a book and broaden your horizons. I don’t expect them to really become officials in the court, at least don’t be short-sighted every day, and keep your eyes on the three-acre land. Broaden your horizons and make a bigger picture. Even if you become a mother in the future, You can raise great kids."

Mrs. Hong agreed very much: "During this time, Princess Lu Guozhang has been discussing the establishment of a girls' school. Do you think it is sending the girls in the family to study?"

Hong Huazhong nodded: "Study is of course good. But you have to find out the ethos of those female students first, who is the master. Don't go there, just learn to be competitive and have a small stomach. If that's the case, it's better not to go, please two The old man is teaching at home."

"Okay, I'll send someone to inquire." Mrs. Hong said.

Thinking about Du Jinning, Mrs. Hong was very interested in her, and said, "Old man, I am really curious about this eldest princess, and I really want to meet her."

She said this not because she felt that she was great, and she would see Du Jinning whenever she wanted, nor because she wanted Hong Huazhong to invite him to her home, but out of helplessness.

Du Jinning became Princess Ning, except that she was led by Queen Mother Zheng to meet some high-status nobles on the day she was conferred, and was sent to the princess mansion by the clan nobles with a hijab when she got married. attended any banquet.She originally participated in the imperial examination as a man and served as an official in the court. She is young, talented, and has outstanding looks. The men in the officialdom in the capital know her, but the female relatives have no chance to see her.

Her experience is so legendary that the women are so curious about her.Not to mention those noble ladies, even old ladies like Mrs. Hong want to see her now.

Hong Huazhong shook his head: "It's not easy. Now is the time for high-yielding rice. She has to do business, but she has no time to get to know you."

Seeing the disappointment of the old wife, Hong Huazhong came up with an idea: "However, it will be the emperor's birthday in a few days. The emperor intends to take this opportunity to reward us veterans. Officials and orders above the third rank in the court are all invited. Although the princess is Appointed as the chief minister, but it is not easy for her to sit with us male officials at this banquet, she must go to accompany the empress dowager. Will you be able to see her then?"

Mrs. Hong was overjoyed immediately: "That's kind." She stood up, "No, I have to pick out clothes."

Hong Huazhong was speechless.

Seventies and eighties, what's the use of dressing up.Not to mention his wife, even if he called his most proud granddaughter back to dress up meticulously, even if Hong Huazhong wore a filter, he couldn't just say that he was prettier than Princess Ningguo.

At Du Jinning's place, she didn't need to be present to watch the double robbery in the field. Songzhuangtou and the others were all used to doing farm work, and they had planted hybrid rice for a few seasons, so they didn't need to be ordered to do things anymore. Besides, there were four officials from the Ministry of Industry He and Yao Shuqi were watching from the side.

So Du Jinning is very busy on the surface, but in fact he is quite leisurely.

She also knew that the noble ladies and noble ladies in the capital were very curious about her. On the day of Zhao Hu's birthday banquet, she dressed up carefully and entered the palace with Qi Muyuan in a carriage.
