Ding Rou followed Ding Dong to Chengsong Garden, Ding Dong asked about Mrs. Tai's physical condition, Ding Rou replied as concisely and respectfully as possible, seeing that Ding Dong no longer spoke to her, Ding Rou secretly exhaled, and when she arrived in Chengsong Garden, Ding Rou let down her guard, bent her knees to say goodbye to Ding Dong, and turned back to Mrs. Tai's house.

Ding Dong saw Ding Rou leaving, shook his head slightly and went to see the old lady. Ding Rou told Mrs. Tai that Ding Min voluntarily knelt on the ground and begged her father, not Ding Dong punishing her. Aunt Liu cried, "Mrs. Tai..."

"That's enough."

Aunt Liu didn't dare to say more, Mrs. Tai thought for a while, Ding Rou saw her mouth pursed, obviously annoyed that Ding Min didn't know how to lift up, and she didn't know the severity, "You go and call Ding Min up yourself." ”

"Min'er doesn't listen to me." Aunt Liu cried miserably, Mrs. Tai looked impatient, Ding Rou helped Aunt Liu up, "The third sister is confused for a while, you are the biological mother of the third sister, talk to her well, the third sister will always figure it out." ”

Ding Rou motioned for Aunt Liu to leave, I don't know if Aunt Liu didn't understand Ding Rou's meaning and resolutely refused to leave, Ding Rou couldn't do anything, so she lowered her voice and said: "Aunt Liu, if you delay your efforts any longer, the third sister can't hold on, she is still kneeling in the snow, in case she alarms her mother, the third sister is afraid that she will not be able to fall into the benefits." ”

Aunt Liu's face turned whiter, and she looked at Mrs. Tai with red eyes, and Ding Rou and Wen Li sent Aunt Liu out of the house with half a drag and half a support, and finally her ears were clean. When she returned to the house, Mrs. Tai said, "Your father went to the master's study?" ”

"Yes."

Ding Rou briefly told the story again, Mrs. Tai didn't care about how Ding Min was messing around, but she cared about Ding Dong, got up and said, "You accompany me to see the master." ”

Ding Rou thought that she would avoid Ding Dong, but Mrs. Tai was going to the study, Ding Rou took Mrs. Tai's big arm and walked towards the study. The little servant who had been waiting for Mrs. Ding was guarding outside, looking inside from the window, and dimly saw one person sitting, one person standing, and there were only two father and son in the huge study. The little maid made an announcement, and Mrs. Ding's old voice came out: "Is it Madame, come in." ”

Ding Rou originally planned to let go of Mrs. Tai's arm, she just waited outside, but Mrs. Tai didn't want to let go of Ding Rou, and motioned for Ding Rou to accompany her. After entering the study door, Ding Dong saluted Mrs. Tai, Ding Rou bowed her head obediently, blessed her body, and helped Mrs. Tai to sit beside Mrs. Ding, she hung her head and stood silently aside, her eyelids drooped, staring at the green bricks on the ground.

Although the old lady Ding was sitting, the silver-tipped cane in his hand had not been lost, the cane hit the ground, making a knocking sound, Ding Dong was also very respectful in front of the old lady, Mrs. Ding felt the atmosphere solemn, the eldest son frowned, as if there was an extremely difficult thing bothering him, there was no joy after the promotion, and asked softly: "Something happened?" ”

Mrs. Ding played with the silver head of the cane, "Dong'er is the deputy chief examiner, and it seems to be glorious but it is secretly dangerous. ”

No matter how shrewd Mrs. Tai is, in the end, she is a woman in the house, fighting in the house, making friends with Mrs., presiding over the feed, etc., Mrs. Tai is a good hand, but she also knows nothing about the changes in the court situation, listening to Mrs. Ding say this, and then thinking of Ding Min's abnormal behavior, isn't Ding Min smart? Or did she get a hint from the Buddha?

"What do you mean by that? Although the scientific examination is the most prone to major cases of fraud, there is an iron law of Emperor Taizu, and the deputy chief examiner will be concentrated in the Chucai Pavilion for two days, and there are four copies of the examination papers, which are drawn by His Majesty immediately, and no one knows what the exam questions are. When the papers were marked, the names of the candidates were sealed, and there have been no fraud cases since the founding of Daqin, and the character of my trusted son, the main examiner Xu Ge is upright, and he is a character who would rather bend than bend, how can he not do foolish things, how can it be said that there is danger? “

Old lady Ding squinted, although Ding Rou hung her head, she felt his attention, "You go and serve tea." ”

Ding Rou's body shook slightly, the old lady Ding didn't name her surname, only Ding Rou, who was the youngest, could do the work of serving tea and pouring water, and bent her knees: "Grandfather, wait a minute." “

When she went out and told the little girl to make tea, Ding Rou intended to stay for a while, but Mrs. Ding didn't want to hear it. It's almost time to finish, Ding Rou held a tray with three blue and white porcelain bowls on it, re-entered the study, and secretly glanced at Ding Dong, her face was more solemn, Mrs. Tai was also in a daze, only Mrs. Ding's eyes were very bright, Ding Rou was a little nervous by him, and reluctantly walked up, put down the tray, and handed the three cups of tea to Mrs. Ding, Mrs. Tai, and Ding Dong respectively.

"Grandfather, grandmother, father, please have tea."

Gripping the tray tightly, Ding Rou stepped aside, for the first time in front of Mrs. Ding, Ding Rou felt the pressure, but Ding Rou's strength in her body did not admit defeat, but the more pressure on Ding Rou, the more predicament, the more Ding Rou would rebound, after several ups and downs, I saw too many old ladies put down their canes, picked up the tea cup, sniffed the aroma of tea, and said:

"Two years ago, the four major academies competed, the old man was rated as one of them, the Yanjing Academy in the north, the Zhili Academy, only Yin Chengshan alone, and the two academies in the south, the talents gathered, in terms of knowledge, eloquence is far from being comparable to the students in the north, Emperor Taizu once sighed, the world's articles bring together the arrow Jiangnan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Liangguang, the scholarly family, the number of scholars, the number of scholars, the number of scholars, every time they try to rely on the people, they are the best of the best, the competition is very fierce, after two years, it must be when the students in their prime, most of them become lifters, and the students in the north... I haven't seen Yin Chengshan for two years, and I don't know how his knowledge has improved, but the ancestral home of the Yin family is in Hangzhou. ”

Ding Rou's eyelids jumped, the reason for the major events in the imperial examination is not the leakage of exam questions, not the bribery and fraud, the root cause is the dispute between the north and the south? It is not difficult to understand that in modern times, there is a saying that immigrants from the college entrance examination are immigrants, and the proportion of admission to institutions of higher learning in different places is different. In the Great Qin Dynasty, I am afraid that there is no proportion of admission, only the best will be selected, once the quota is occupied by students from the south, the north... The imperial capital Yanjing's move originally came from thinking that he was superior, but after falling off the list, he didn't know that he would make trouble? Do you know that you will not complain about the unfairness and favoritism of the chief examiner and deputy examiner?

Once people can't get high school, most of them will blame others, and few people can introspect themselves and find reasons in themselves. Even if Yin Chengshan is in high school, his ancestral home is in the south, and he can't calm the resentment of the northern son, if it's okay to make a small fight, I'm afraid that it will be a surging tide of learning, once the situation is uncontrollable, the emperor will definitely deal with the deputy chief examiner, Ding Rou figured it out, it turns out that this is the root of Ding Min's ignorance, even if the emperor kills the chief examiner, he will not tell the world that he killed the chief examiner because he can't control the students to make trouble.

It is impossible for the emperor to be wrong, and he can only use an excuse to take the examiner and deputy examiner for favoritism and abuse his power. Since ancient times, there have been many loyal ministers and good generals, and Xu Ge is not worse than the old one. With Xu Ge's old and upright temperament, even if there is a cliff in front of him, he will insist without hesitation for the righteousness in his heart, even if he is broken, he will jump down, and never want to take a detour.

The emperor chose Xu Ge Lao as the main exam, right? Is it wrong? No one is more important than Jiangshan, and Xu Ge Lao is destined to be sacrificed. Ding Rou sighed unconsciously, Mrs. Ding is knowledgeable, but she has a disadvantage over Ding Rou, he doesn't know that Ding Min is a reborn girl, and he doesn't know that Ding Rou is a crossing girl. It was already rare for him to be able to deduce that the disputes between the north and the south converged in Chunqiu.

"Why do you sigh?"

Ding Rou raised her eyes and looked at the old lady quietly, and smiled lightly in an instant: "Grandfather, does he know that the northern juzi who has never entered the academy can't go to high school?" The granddaughter once met the son of the Wang family, and his talent is good. ”

Since Ding Min has gone to him and has the heart to make friends, presumably Wang Gongzi should have a great future, Ding Rou didn't mean to mention Wang Gongzi, but she couldn't tell the old lady Ding about the turmoil she just thought of, with her experience as a concubine, it is not suitable, things are abnormal, and Ding Rou doesn't want to be treated as a monster.

"He? I have seen the prince of the six girls, the son-in-law of the Wang family, the family is slightly cold, but there is a diligent study ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
