Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 185

In the end, Du Yu didn't know how she got into the room to sleep. Maybe she was already confused by watching the fireworks?

Sure enough, Du Yu's alcohol capacity is really not good, fruit wine like sweet water can make himself drunk, and he really needs to exercise well.

It's just that Du Yu was lying in the arms of his eldest cousin. From the beginning, Du Yu was a little embarrassed, but now he is calm and composed. This is the performance of thick-skinned.

When Xiaomo and Xiaoya got up to freshen up Du Yu, they had already kowtowed to their two masters for the new year.New year and new weather, of course, give red envelopes.

Du Yu gave a red envelope alone, and the little girl couldn't be more happy. As a child, I just look forward to having new clothes to wear and a red envelope for the New Year.

Even Xiao Mo couldn't hide his joy.

When Yantai and Tianfu came over, Du Yu also gave a red envelope. Hu Xin asked Du Yu to do this. After all, Du Yu is the mistress, although Hu Xin gave Du Yu the money.

And while they were eating breakfast, Second Sister-in-Law of Chu also brought people from other courtyards to pay New Year's greetings to Du Yu. Naturally, they got the red envelopes that Du Yu sent to everyone, and these servants were even happier.

After going back, some people said, who said that the in-laws and aunts have no money at home, if they have no money, can they give everyone red envelopes?
"No matter how much the red envelope is, if someone can take it out, it shows that he is generous." Someone said.

"Isn't that the reason? Speaking of it, I think it's ridiculous. Once I went to the West Mansion to give them a gift from Yunyang. In the end, they didn't reward me, so they let me go back. I really thought I cared about the money, but I just couldn't get used to their stinginess. Don't ask for things from our family if you have the ability." This is what the people of Baixi Mansion were stingy about.

"Come on, those who celebrate the New Year, don't say a few words. On a festive day, why mention those unlucky things?"

Because Du Yu and Hu Xin were in the capital, there was no one else to visit, so except for Grandma Huang who went to pay New Year's greetings, and then a few of Hu Xin's friends who visited in the same year, there was basically nothing to do.

The Lantern Festival in the capital city is very lively. From the eighth day of the lunar new year, there will be no curfew in the capital city.

If you go shopping, you can’t finish it in one night. After all, the capital is big enough and has a large population. It is much more prosperous and lively than other state capitals, because the capital still has the emperor and his old man. Naturally, everything the best.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, many dignitaries also came out to go shopping.

Hu Xin also plans to take Du Yu to take a look and stroll around, so as to feel some lively atmosphere.

Du Yu said: "There are many people at this time, and the chance of accidents is higher. Let's go to a place with fewer people."

I heard that on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, people can go to the Jinshui Bridge to get rid of all kinds of diseases. There are more people there. Du Yu doesn't want to join in the fun. They are coming soon.

Safety first is important at all times.

Hu Xin nodded and said, "Alright, then let's go shopping in some nearby places."

It is impossible for people like them to book a private room for the sake of quietness and spend hundreds of taels of silver. When you are stingy, you have to be stingy.So that day, they just wandered around the street, guessed a few lantern riddles, and won a few lanterns.

However, the capital city is the capital city, and there are tents everywhere to hold activities, and the lottery is amazing, and many people are excited.

Hu Xin didn't intend to give it a try, but there were many candidates who came to the capital to take the exam and wanted to take this opportunity to make a big splash and let everyone know his name.

Maybe in the future it will be favored by the chief examiner.

It's just that Du Yu thought to himself, when the time comes to take the exam, you will have to paste your name on it. Who knows which copy of your exam paper it is?Can it still be marked?
Some people are indeed famous because of their great fame, but it does not mean that they can be awarded Jinshi and become officials or slaughterers.

I heard that the emperor will show up at the Duanyang Gate to have fun with the people, so many people went to occupy the area under the Duanyang Gate, just to have a look at the appearance of the real Dragon Emperor.

It's just that I can see clearly, because the emperor was surrounded by many people, and he was still wearing a formal dress at that time, and there was a crown on his head, which covered it, and he was basically unrecognizable.

Du Yu and the others didn't go shopping for long, mainly because they heard that there was some trouble in other places. Although it was small, it made people feel uneasy, so they went back.

It was only the next day that I heard that there were fires in several places, but they were all put out by the fire dragon team, and no big trouble was caused.

According to Chu's second sister-in-law, such incidents happen every year in the capital, but they are all resolved by someone. When the population increases, there will be more incidents, and accidents will inevitably happen.

Fortunately, all departments in the capital are fully equipped, so they are not afraid.

Du Yu said to his eldest cousin: "It seems that the capital is not so easy to mess with, especially the officials in the capital. Under the feet of the emperor, even small things can be magnified. Being an official in the capital is courageous."

Someone like Jing Zhaoyin is completely an official who handles troublesome things, and he can't be offended in all kinds of ways. Except for ordinary people, who doesn't have any relatives in the capital?Even those who beat around the bush can get involved.

Therefore, the official Jing Zhaoyin is completely exhausted.

Although the officials in the capital are one rank higher than the officials of the same level in other places, this is also a result of courage.

Hu Xin laughed and said, "What you said is a bit interesting. So apart from entering the sixth department and working in the capital's yamen, few people are willing, unless he has a big backer himself, and he is not afraid of offending others. But, Jingzhao Yin is also in charge of the safety of the capital, and ordinary people can't be appointed, so there is no need to worry about them. The emperor will not send someone casually, unless it is his trusted confidant. The backer is the emperor, so I am afraid What are others doing?"

This is also a reason, Du Yu found that his thinking was too simple, especially in this respect, he was not at the same level as his cousin.

After the first month, in February, the emperor personally went to spring plowing, representing the country's emphasis on farming. In fact, the emperor plowed such a piece of land with oxen, and then students from all over the country came to Beijing one after another. All the inns are almost full. No wonder if you open an inn in the capital, you won't worry about losing money at all, especially during the three-year Spring Festival, the price is so high that it is definitely a big profit.

Fortunately, they have a place to live here, otherwise, if they really crowded the inn with others, it would be a crime.

Dean Chu also wrote a few letters, and Hu Xin started to visit with these news.

This is the beginning of relationships and contacts.

Du Yu himself has nothing to do, so he tried his best not to cause trouble to his eldest cousin, and his parents also came to Xin, and sent them directly to the other courtyard in the capital.

Tell Du Yu and Hu Xin that after her eldest brother sent her mother to Pengze, he hurried back. Du Yu's second brother and second sister-in-law stayed here, and her father directly received the official letter to continue to be the county magistrate of Pengze. I don't come to the capital to report on my work anymore.

So she will stay in Pengze for three years, and her second brother and second sister-in-law will live in the county government.

Everything is fine with them. Du Erlang is still helping to teach in the county school. He is a gentleman. The county school is getting better and better, and even officials from the provincial capital have come to see it.

As for the matter of opening the academy, the Hai family and the Zhu family are quite happy, and they are discussing it now. Du Youzhong is just offering opinions, and he will not participate in other matters.

After all, he wasn't the one who paid the money, and he just wanted to improve the education in Pengze County.

This time, I also brought some seafood to Du Yu and the others for work, that is, to deliver letters, which were sent by people from the Hai family. Their Hai family also has a dried seafood store in the capital, and it is convenient to deliver letters.

Tell Du Yu not to worry about them, they are all doing well, live a good life with Hu Xin, and take good care of Hu Xin, especially since the spring has started again.

As for their future plans, Du Youzhong also suggested that if they do well in the exam, they should stay in the capital now. After all, Hu Xin is considered young, so it is very likely that he will stay in the capital. Starting from an official position, it is best to enter the Imperial Academy. After all, the people who come out of the Imperial Academy are different from others.

But at least you have to enter the second class, and the third class basically cannot enter the Hanlin Academy, because that place is expensive, and no one with Jinshi has ever entered.

If it is a first class, you don't need to take another exam, you can directly enter the Imperial Academy, but the second class still needs to take the exam to enter the Imperial Academy.

Another place is Guozijian, which is more relaxed than Hanlin Academy. Du Youzhong thinks it is good for Hu Xin to be able to teach in Guozijian, because he also taught county school students in Pengze, so he should have some teaching experience.

After staying in the Guozijian for a few years, those who can enter the Guozijian must either have a reputation or have a solid background. In this way, as a teacher of the Guozijian, he can also accumulate a certain amount of contacts.

Du Yu showed his father's letter to his eldest cousin, who also agreed with this matter very much. It is most suitable for him to stay in the capital at his current age.

But the premise of all this is that Hu Xin can win the Jinshi.That's the best way to say something else.

The days passed quickly, and as soon as February was over, Du Yu was going to send his eldest cousin to the Gong Yuan for an exam.

Seeing that the big cousin is still very relaxed, Du Yu is not so nervous.

When I arrived outside the Gongyuan, I saw that many people were sent into the examination room by their family members. Hu Xin also took the test basket and took his own examination household registration, went to the examination room where he should go, and was checked by the soldiers at the door. , and went in, Du Yu knew that his eldest cousin could not see when he went in, so he led the servants away.

This time, the test will take nine days, and during these nine days, no one will be allowed to come out. They will eat, drink and drink in the test room, which is a test of one's will.

Especially since it's only the beginning of March, the weather isn't that warm yet, and at night, it's a bit cold, and I don't know how my cousin is doing in there.
