Chapter 149 begins

The study was quiet, a ray of morning light poured in, and the light beam of pale gold S was mixed with a hint of pale red, and the sun rose in the east.

Ding Rou walked into the study with a tray, the old lady sat on the round chair, Ding Dong in an official uniform sat with him, the old lady held a cane, his eyes were deep, Ding Dong was cautious and respectful, and he did not dare to disobey the old lady.

As usual, after Ding Rou put the tea cup away, she bent her knees and planned to leave. Although she often goes to the study to look for books to read, she doesn't have much contact with the old lady, but I don't know when the work of making tea and serving tea falls on Ding Rou.

Ding Dong will live in the tribute courtyard with the main examination today, and he can only walk out of the tribute courtyard after the imperial examination is released, needless to say that these are the iron orders of Emperor Taizu, what is prevented is the fraud in the scientific field, and the dormitory behind the tribute courtyard has been changed, and it is said that the conditions are good and good, and there are people who eat and drink and serve them. Ding Dong came to bid farewell to the old lady, and by the way, he asked him what other arrangements he had.

"Do as I say."

"My son is afraid that he will not be able to control the situation then."

Ding Rou, who was walking out, paused slightly, and could hear that the old lady didn't want to bring up the matter of the north-south division at this time, and felt a sight on her back, Ding Rou didn't dare to look back and was about to take a step when the old lady's voice said: "You come back." ”

"Yes."

Ding Rou turned around calmly and stood in front of the old lady, "Do you still have orders?" ”

The old lady took a sip of the teacup, ignored Ding Rou, and said slowly: "If you want to achieve the position of Shilang, when the ranking is determined after the imperial examination, you can make suggestions to the emperor, if you want to enter the center and become a cabinet minister." ”

The old lady's eyes flickered, "Ding Dong, you have to calm down and go to the prison." ”

The old lady caught a glimpse of Sun NV Ding Rou, who had been hanging his head, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his son Ding Dong, who had high hopes, was sleepy, and when he heard the prison, his face couldn't help but change slightly, the old lady's cane looked at the ground, and he couldn't say whether he was disappointed, he couldn't take care of his son for the rest of his life, he got up with a cane, and the old man bowed his back slightly, "You are also a shroud." ”

"The son has let his father down."

Ding Dong opened his shirt and knelt down, Ding Rou flashed to the side, knelt behind Ding Dong silently, lifted his eyelids, and saw the old lady wrapped in the morning sun, his face was a little blurred, and his eyes that had gone through vicissitudes were exceptionally bright, and Ding Rou saw regret, disappointment, and a trace of regret in his eyes.

He is an emperor, why do you have regrets? Obviously, it's not because of Ding Dong, it's a pity that the Ding family can't produce a minister? Or did he not have the opportunity to enter the cabinet because he was an emperor?

"The best thing about you is that you are self-aware, Ding Dong, this can ensure that you are peaceful for a lifetime, conservative and self-controlled, do not dare to fight, and miss the opportunity in vain, is it a blessing? Is it a curse? ”

"Six girls, help me outside."

"Yes."

Ding Rou glanced at Ding Dong, who was stunned, got up from the ground, grabbed the old lady's other arm, and walked out of the study.

Ding Rou could feel the old lady's disappointment, and said in a low voice: "Grandfather, there is a saying that peace is a blessing. ”

The old lady sighed: "The Ding family can't be lonely, your father can only guard the Ding family, and can't prosper the family, once I die, it will be even more difficult for the Ding family to rise again." ”

"Isn't there a big brother, a second brother?"

"They are the same as Ding Dong, they are more than successful, but not enterprising."

"Since you know that your father's xbī is causing trouble, you can't guide your father for a lifetime, his career is changing rapidly, Sun NV thinks that his father can do it, and which of the famous cabinet ministers can last long? During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the king and the horse shared the world, and then there was the Xie family, and now these top families have disappeared. ”

"It's the old man's extravagance." The old lady patted Ding Rou's arm and sighed, "If you are a man..."

"Grandfather."

"Don't say it, don't say it, you go and get your father up and do what he wants."

"Yes."

Ding Rou tightened his cloak for the old lady, turned around lightly and returned to the study, Ding Dong didn't want to take the risk of taking that step, and it wasn't that there was no way to bī him, his career was smooth all the way, the most lacking thing was experience, his knowledge, talent, and the accumulation of dealing with people and things were enough, and he only lacked the courage and decision to face the predicament, and with one decision, there could be a second time, although Ding Rou didn't look down on his attitude towards the Liu family, but most of the feudal scholars were like this, did she push it behind her back?

Now that the old lady is in charge, even if Ding Dong takes the wrong road, the old lady can be dragged back, once the old lady passes away... Even if Ding Dong is a sh lang, he will face a difficult situation and make a decision, and if he is not careful, he will also be in danger of raiding his family and exterminating his family.

"Grandfather told Dad to do what you wanted." Ding Rou calmly picked up Ding Dong, leaned over to smooth the wrinkles on his official robe, it was not a good thing to see Ding Dong in a daze, Ding Rou took the initiative to squat down Ding Dong and lowered his head.

Ding Dong glanced at the squatting NV in front of him, "Accompany your grandfather more." ”

"Hmm."

Ding Rou stood beside Ding Dong obediently after getting up, "Grandfather said that he hoped that his son would become a Chan, and he was looking forward to his father's well." ”

"I know, but..."

Ding Rou said softly: "Daqin respects integrity, it's funny to say, I heard my grandfather say that eighty percent of the ministers who entered the center were either scolded by the Long Live Lord or went to prison, but they were supported by a bunch of scholars." ”

"What would you do if I did the same?"

"Proud of my father, share honor and disgrace."

Ding Dong clenched his fists, and the spirit that had been worn out reappeared, and he turned away with two laughs, and Ding Rou hooked the corners of his mouth.

Ding Dong went to kowtow to Mrs. Tai, waved goodbye to his wife NV and strode out of Ding's mansion, Mrs. Tai asked Ding Rou: "Do you think your father is a little different?" ”

Ding Rou pinched Mrs. Tai's shoulder, "Grandmother, did you say that she looked extraordinary?" ”

"It's been a long time since I've seen him like this."

"My father is my grandmother's son, and my grandson is a god when I see him one day, but today... Dapeng spreads its wings and aims to thousands of miles. ”

"You girl got honey on your mouth?"

"Why, I said it when you asked."

Mrs. Tai smiled with relief, Ding Rou accompanied her to talk and laugh, since there was Ding Rou, Mrs. Tai had less time to recite scriptures, or laughing with Sun NV, or pointing Ding Rou to calligraphy and painting, needlework and thread, or teaching Ding Rou how to preside over Zhong Kui, there were many things she had never heard of.

Like a sponge, Ding Rou absorbed what Mrs. Tai taught, not necessarily she agreed, but the more Ding Rou understood Daqin.

In March, although there were no candidates in Ding's house, Ding Dong became nervous, especially Mrs. Tai also learned from the old lady that this session was a big event, although she couldn't see it on her face, but the time she stayed in the Buddha hall suddenly increased. The eldest lady doesn't know the details, but she knows that every time the imperial examination will be more or less problematic, last year Ding Min mentioned the grain in the south, the Jianghuai region was drought, and the price of grain skyrocketed, Ding Min had that performance for Ding Dong as the deputy chief examiner, and the eldest lady looked at Ding Min and followed closely.

Ding Rou also inquired about the news as much as possible, did not do superfluous things, but spent more hours in the study, reading and practicing calligraphy, and her mood was very peaceful.

After three days of taking the exam, in addition to the Gongyuan, some people were high-spirited, some people were depressed, and some people looked left and right, looking for friends to ask him how he did in the exam? How to get to the point? How to argue? In addition to the basic knowledge, the most important thing in the imperial examination is to apply for the argument, if it were not for the fact that the thinking of the ancients was too difficult to change, Ding Rou had no doubt that Emperor Taizu would copy the set of civil service examinations.

"Brother Yin, how did you do in the exam?"

Yang He's relaxed voice came from behind, and Yin Chengshan turned around with an impeccable smile on his face, "General." ”

"General?"

Yang He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Brother Yin is too modest, this kind of topic is easy for you and me. ”

"Brother Yang, does anyone know that no one is a blockbuster?"

"This year's champion, for you and me, Brother Yin, you are too old and less ambitious."

Yin Chengshan smiled, his eyes swept over the people behind Yang He, most of them were smiling, Jiangnan students were willing to follow Yang He, not only because he was talented, Yang He had a unique point in the topic, he was a bold person, confident and strength was a step above all the kings, and he did not hide it, who had a question to ask, Yang He always answered in detail, so Yang He's reputation became more famous, Yin Chengshan arched his hand: "See you Brother Yang on the day of the list." ”

Yin Chengshan left, and saw that most of the northern lifters frowned along the way, Yin Chengshan took the initiative to ask several classmates of Yanjing Academy, and listened to their arguments, Yin Chengshan's brows also wrinkled.

"Inherit goodness, inherit goodness."

Yin Chengshan, who was contemplative, turned around and said, "Where is His Royal Highness King Xinyang?" ”

"I'm waiting for the champion."

"Brother Qi said cautiously."

Qi Heng smiled: "Why are you not completely sure?" ”

Yin Chengshan said: "The question is not difficult, but it is more suitable for the south." ”

Qi Heng didn't understand this, it was not difficult to listen to Yin Chengshan's question, he couldn't run away from his position as the champion, "Let's go, let's drink." ”

"You don't look like you're dressed today and you've come to wait for me, where did you go?"

"The second prince has an appointment, I pushed it."

Yin Chengshan paused slightly and asked, "I remember that Xinyang Wangfu has a hot spring village on the outskirts of Beijing?" ”

"What? Do you want to go? ”

"Brother Qi hasn't been invited yet, how dare the students..."

Qi Heng pressed Yin Chengshan's shoulder, "You spit out sour text for me again, return the student, are you a student of this king?" Tomorrow I will go to Zhuangzi for two days. ”

Yin Chengshan smiled and went to drink with Qi Heng, and the two said that they would not return if they were not drunk.

After grading the papers and determining the rankings, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they examiners finally went home, and it was a month in the Gongyuan, which was really boring. The chief examiner, Lord Xu, stretched his beard and sighed: "This imperial examination is splendid, Daqin is prosperous, and you and I can also have more talented colleagues who are worried about the country and the people." ”

"The world's first genius really lives up to his reputation, look at what he wrote about the three days around the beam, and March doesn't smell ru."

The examiners said that they had seen and were amazed at the talents of the lifters, Ding Dong's arm trembled a little, and the three Jinshi Southern lifters accounted for ninety percent, and it was really according to what his father thought, and the movement began.

"The emperor is still waiting for the result, and the official will enter the palace to meet His Majesty."

Ding Dong said: "Lord Xu." ”

"Is there something wrong with Lord Ding?" Lord Xu looked at Ding Dong, since he entered the Tribute Courtyard, what did he tell him to do, he was quiet and honest, how could he suddenly speak out today?

Ding Dong said: "Lord Xu's heart is under his feet." ”

"Selecting materials for the country, the official will not be sleepy."

Lord Xu laughed and went into the palace, they all stayed up all night reading the papers, looking sleepy, Ding Dong made Lord Xu feel better, it was good and no one misunderstood, Ding Dong sighed secretly, he really wanted to remind the words without saying anything.

ps one bō after one bō, Ding Rou's opportunity to perform has finally arrived, Happy April Fool's Day, today's double watch.
