Chen also showed a smile on his face: "When you say this, I really think Xiaobei's kid is very good." was righteous, he was not hungry or warm, and he also picked up two orphans to go back. The ability is also strong, the mouth is sweet, and the work is very thoughtful. ”

Du Jinning smiled bitterly: "Mother, don't be happy too early." If he doesn't want to, I won't force him. I'm not an outsider, I just think that the twisted melon is not sweet, he is not happy, and he will not be really good to his sister in the future. ”

"That's right." Chan couldn't agree more.

When Du Fangfei chose to marry, Du Jinning also repeatedly told her this.

"He won't disagree, look at me." Du Fangling suddenly spoke out and said very confidently.

Seeing that Chen and Du Jinning were both looking at her in surprise, she suddenly became shy, her face turned red, but she still said hard words in her mouth: "My Du Fangling is not bad, and she is not so lazy, he doesn't look down on me, what kind of immortal do you want to marry?" Saying that, he glared at Du Jinning angrily, "Don't look at me like this, anyway, don't talk about this matter first, when the time comes, Lu Xiaobei will naturally take the initiative to come to the door to ask for a kiss." ”

Hearing this, Du Jinning was very happy. She herself has a strong temperament, so she also admires strong women. Du Fangling: She thinks it's very good.

Chen is a traditional woman, and she said disapprovingly: "Sister Ling, don't mess around." If you do something out of the ordinary, Lu Xiaobei doesn't look down on you, wouldn't it ruin your reputation? ”

"Mother, where do you want to go?" Du Fangling pouted, "I won't do anything out of the ordinary, don't worry." ”

Since Du Fangling said so, Du Jinning didn't care about her marriage anymore. She packed her things, and before dawn the next day, she went to the gate of the academy to meet a few classmates and go to Fucheng together.

The government examination also requires the food and beverage students to be guaranteed, and the number of people who are guaranteed is one more than that of the county examination. The academy was also worried that a few students would not have an old man to go out with him, so he not only sent three guarantors to follow, but also sent Mr. Huang Chengming to go with him. Some parents are worried about their children and go along. If the family is well-off, if there are subordinates in the family, they will bring two or three subordinates. As a result, the ranks were huge, with thirteen wagons and mule carts alone.

Du Jinning was reluctant to carpool with others, so he asked Qin Lao Liu to hire a mule cart. The one who drove the car was Qin Laoliu's cousin, a middle-aged man in his early forties, named Wang Fulai. Wang Fulai has a good character, he is smart and smart, he is still a relative of Qin Laoliu, he knows the roots, Du Jinning makes it more convenient and more reassuring.

In addition to Wang Fulai, Du Jinning also brought Lu Xiaobei with him.

Although Wang Fulai is a relative of Qin Laoliu, he is a relative after all, and Du Jinning is worried that he will lose the chain at a critical moment. With Lu Xiaobei following, she was a lot more relieved. And not only does the exam need someone to take care of her, she still has a lot of things to do when she comes to Fucheng this time, and with Lu Xiaobei to help her run errands, she can save a lot of time and energy.

The convoy was large and crowded, like Liang Xiankuan and two other children from well-off families also brought a few guards who rode horses to take care of them in front and behind, and some young people on the road did not dare to fight their ideas. Worried that the road would not be easy to walk in the rain, they deliberately picked a better time to go on the road in advance, so the road was smooth, except for two classmates who lay down because of motion sickness, everyone was fine. When it was almost the end of Shen, the convoy had arrived at the Shili Pavilion outside the city.

It was the middle of April, the end of modern May, and it was getting dark late. At this time, although it was five o'clock in modern times, the sky was still quite bright, and there was still a period of time before the city gate was closed, so Huang Chengming was not in a hurry to enter the city, and commanded the convoy to stop at Shili Pavilion and let everyone get off the car and rest.

"Everybody, come here, I'll say a few words."

Huang Chengming is the leader of the team, everyone took the exam this time under his command, and as soon as he called him, everyone gathered around.

"After a while, there were a lot of people entering the city, and they had to check, and the convoy couldn't stop again. After entering the city, there was no wide place for so many of us to stop and talk, so I have said everything here, and when we enter the city, we will go to our own lodgings, and we do not have to stay any longer. Huang Chengming said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Huang Chengming continued: "Our group of four gentlemen and seven students, three of whom have a place to live in Fucheng, after you settle down, you need to send someone to the guild hall to tell me, and leave the address, so that I can find you if there is anything." The rest of me stayed with me. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at his family members and subordinates who were standing not far away, and said; "The family members and subordinates you bring with you, everyone should restrain themselves, and don't have quarrels and conflicts with people in the county hall. Conduct is an aspect that is very important for further education. Even if it's not me but a family member, once it's spread out, your government test will be in vain. If you let the next county exam examiner know, it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to pass the county exam next year. So I hope you must pay attention to this. ”

In order to facilitate people in their own county to travel around the capital, and also to facilitate candidates who enter the city every year to take the exam, and have a safe place to stay, each county will buy a county pavilion in the capital or even the capital. Although this county hall is of a government nature, the accommodation is charged, which is equivalent to an official inn. Because the fee is medium, and not anyone can stay, it needs to have a certain status and appearance, so it is more favored by eunuchs and scholars.

And precisely because the county hall is a place where "there is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding", once there is a conflict of tongue and tongue, the consequences will be particularly serious.

In previous years, when a candidate came to take the exam, the uncle who came with him to take care of him behaved obscenely, which annoyed a person who went to Beijing with his family, and immediately revised a letter to the prefect who was the chief examiner, stating that the candidate misbehaved and indulged his family to molest women from good families.

The children's examination is the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination. If you pass the county examination and the government examination, you will be a child; After obtaining the qualification of a child, even if you do not pass the college examination to become a showman, you do not have to take the exam again, and you can directly participate in each college examination in the future. However, if you only pass the county examination, and do not pass the prefectural examination to obtain the child qualification, you have to start the county examination every year. Once the county test is stuck, the subsequent prefectural and hospital exams will naturally not be eligible to participate.

Therefore, the candidate was very sad and delayed for several years, and it was not until the invigilator appointed a few years later that he did not know what happened that year, and he was able to pass the county exam.

The gentlemen of the academy have talked about this matter, and when they take the exam, they should restrain themselves and their families and not make such a fuss.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded solemnly, indicating that they understood.

Because of this reason, the elders or subordinates they brought were all honest and reliable, and they had beaten them in advance. If you can't find a reliable elder, you can simply go to the test alone to avoid being affected by your family.
