Great Lawyer

Chapter 18
Southwest Litigation Lawyers Guild has been in existence for more than a hundred years. The president of each session is jointly elected and selected by the lawyers in the association, and then submitted to the imperial court, who is personally received by the Holy Majesty and stamped with a jade seal.

There are more than a hundred guilds in the whole Dazhou, but only two guilds in Southwest and Yanjing are the most famous.

At this moment, Du Jiuyan looked at the gilded plaque with complicated emotions.

Returning to her old job, she had joys and sorrows.The happy thing is that she is good at this thing, even if it is different, it is easy to learn. The sad thing is that she can't do anything else except this thing.

"Father," Xiao Luobo blinked and urged earnestly, "You have to behave well after you go in!"

Du Jiuyan straightened his clothes, and said seriously, "Since you have decided to do it, you will naturally take it seriously, and put your care in your belly."

"Yeah, yum." Little Luobo straightened Du Jiuyan's clothes, showing the expression of a loving mother looking forward to leaping over the dragon's gate, "Then I can rest assured."

The corners of Du Jiuyan's mouth trembled, he took his son's hand, and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and a young man in a gray cloth gown and a literati white scarf opened the door, looking at her, "Excuse me, what's the matter with you?"

"I want to apply for a government school." Du Jiuyan was unfamiliar with the place, so he spoke politely, "I don't know what procedures to go through?"

The young man looked him up again, and said with a smile: "Please come in first, and go see Mr. Xue first, and you must see Mr. Xue if you can come in."

"I'm sorry." Du Jiuyan entered the door with his hands folded. It seemed that, as Chen Lang said, it was not difficult to join the guild.

She led the little radish and followed the man in gray through the screen wall.

The litigation office is divided into three main courtyards, the middle is the government school, the independent courtyard on the left through the corner gate is the litigation office, and the right is the guild.

They walked through the tree-lined path and entered the Ruyi Gate in the middle.

On the veranda in the courtyard sat many teenagers who were also wearing gray cloth gowns and square scarves.

All of them held "Zhou Lu" as thick as a brick in their hands, and either read or memorized it.

"Please!" said the boy who led the way.

Du Jiuyan glanced at these people, Xiao Luobo suppressed his voice, and said, "Are they all litigators?"

"Not yet." The young man who led the way glanced at Xiao Luobo with a smile, "Most of them have to wait for three years to finish their studies and pass the examination before they can do it."

Little Luobo was stunned, covering her mouth and eyes round, "Father, it's been three years."

"It's okay," Du Jiuyan hissed, "There are exceptions to everything."

The young man glanced at him again, pushed open a door, pointed inside and said, "Go in, Mr. Xue is not here, just wait a moment."

"Thank you." Du Jiuyan took Xiao Luobo in, and then the door behind him was closed. The light in the room was very dark, and Xiao Luobo was startled by the sound of closing the door, "Mother, why is the door closed?"

Du Jiuyan walked to the door and listened attentively.

There were chaotic footsteps outside. Based on the footsteps and breathing, she could be sure that there were at least a dozen people standing across a door.

Then someone teased and said: "That country bumpkin doesn't want to be a lawyer, does he? Yuyan Junior Brother, you shouldn't have brought people in, not to mention dirtying our place, from now on, any cat or dog will dare to enter the government school."

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows, not surprised.

Beside the legs, the little radish gritted its teeth.

"Mr. has explained that everyone who comes here has demands, and we must try our best to satisfy others." Zhou Yan smiled lightly, "So, even if a dog knocks on the door, I will bring it in."

"Zhou Yan has the best temper."

"When will Mr. Xue come back?"

"Will Mr. Xue meet her? Has she never even read a book. She went to give birth to a son."

"Looking so ugly, there are some people who are willing to marry, and the sky is angry."

"Even if you have studied, you are at most a boy or a scholar. In the countryside, a scholar is always called a master."

Ridiculous laughter one after another, lively.Suddenly, someone coughed, "If you don't study, why are you making a fuss here?"

"Hello, Mr. Xue."

"Hello, Mr. Lu."

After everyone saluted, everyone dispersed in a serious manner, those who should read books, and those who should endorse memorization, as if the scene just now was just an illusion.

"Young people should always be a little naughty and energetic." Seeing that Xue Ran's expression was not good, Lu Zhan quickly explained with a smile: "You are too fierce when you get angry."

Xue Ran shook his head, and said helplessly: "The teacher is about to return from the capital, and this year's assessment is imminent. But they are not in a hurry at all, and they are still joking around here."

Xue Ran pushed the door, and as soon as the door opened, he saw a large and a small sitting on the chairs inside, so he blurted out and asked, "Who are you, why are you in my study?"

Behind him, bursts of laughter sounded.

"Sir," Zhou Yan bowed behind him and explained, "Just now the two of them asked how to enter the official school, so the students brought them in."

Xue Ran looked at Du Jiuyan, feeling familiar, but couldn't remember.

The father and son got up.

"Want to go to school?" Xue Ran and Lu Zhan sat down behind their respective desks and asked, "How old are you this year, what subject is the Jinshi, who is your teacher, and how many years have you studied law?"

Du Jiuyan opened his mouth, and said in an unhurried manner: "Nineteen this year, a scholar in the fourth year of Shuntian. He has never been a teacher. He has read and memorized "Zhou Lu" thoroughly."

Only a scholar, but no teacher?

Xue Ran stared at the father and son across the way, pointing at Little Carrot, "Your son?"

"Yes!" Du Jiuyan replied.

Xue Ran frowned even tighter, and asked: "I passed the student examination at the age of 19, married and have a son, can I still read and recite "Zhou Lv"?"

If she is 19 years old and the child is four or five years old, then she will get married at the age of 15, which shows that her family is pedantic and has no vision.A scholar who has not worshiped under his teacher shows that his background is very poor.

Xue Ran withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at him.

"Yes!" Du Jiuyan replied frankly.

There was a commotion outside the door.

"We guessed right, it really is Master Xiucai."

"She actually said that she can recite "Zhou Lu", she should be tested."

"What is the test? There are many people who can brag. Take him, sir, you don't have time to spare."

Laughter continued, full of contempt and ridicule.

Xue Ran felt that Du Jiuyan was playing tricks on him, so he restrained his anger and said, "How long have you been studying?"

"Two days!" Du Jiuyan's face remained unchanged, but his voice remained calm.

Xue Ran's face turned red suddenly, he patted the table, and raised his voice, "After two days of reading, you say you can memorize it, but you know that there are many people who have studied for three years but don't know what the law is."

Du Jiuyan ignored the laughter outside the door, she came here, so far she is still serious: "Study for three years will not be someone else, I will study for two days to meet the assessment without any problem. Besides, the government school accepts students for teaching! Sir If you want the basics, you can test me."

It takes three years to enter the official school to participate in the assessment, so it doesn't matter whether she will or not at this moment.

Xue Ran was furious, "Presumptuous! Where do you go as an official school, you can get in if you want?"

Xue Ran became angry, and all voices outside the door were silenced.

Du Jiuyan suddenly smiled, it seemed that she didn't need to be serious at the end.

　Hey, happy Monday!
