"Young Master, I'll follow you." Jiangbei also got up and looked at Du Jinning expectantly.

Uncle Wang can say that while there is no personal servant by the young master's side now, he has to learn to be smart and occupy this position, so as not to be robbed by newcomers.

"No, you don't." Du Jinning's two words made him quickly depressed.

But before this frustration spread, an envelope was handed to him: "You help me send a letter to the county hall to my aunt." When you come back, you will go to the gate of the Gongyuan to guard, and if you release the list, you will notify me. ”

Jiang Bei was immediately happy and replied loudly: "Yes." ”

"Are you literate?" Du Jinning thought of this stubble and asked again. Thinking in her heart, when there are more people in the family, she has to let Yao Shuqi open two literacy classes, so that these people can read and write.

The reason why there are two of them is naturally a man and a woman. Du Jin would rather not be prepared to challenge the worldview and code of conduct of this era.

"I went to private school for a few years." Jiangbei patted his chest and said proudly.

Du Jinning nodded, turned back to the room, wrote a note, and handed it to Jiangbei: "When the time comes, you will see the position of these seats on the list." ”

The note was written with the seat numbers of Zhou Zhi and Du Zheyan - it was not that Du Jinning didn't care about Qi Muyuan and them, but the exam numbers were only issued when she entered the door, and she came back after the exam last night, and she didn't meet those people, so naturally she didn't know their exam numbers. The only ones who know are Zhou Zhi and Du Zheyan.

Of course, wondering how Du Zheyan did in the exam was completely curious, not concerned about that dogleg.

Seeing that Jiang Bei saw the note and nodded, she told again: "You ask the cook to make two good dishes and take them to the county hall, if someone is in front of the eldest aunt, don't take out the letter, just say that you are here to deliver the dishes." Wait for the people to leave and then hand it over to the uncle. By the way, you tell him that it is inconvenient for me to go over, and I can't talk well when I pass. He can tell his classmates what the letter says, but don't say that I said it. ”

"The villain knows, he must do as the young master instructs."

Seeing that Jiangbei still understood that he was not so confused, Du Jinning went out with confidence.

For Qi Mansion, Du Jinning is already a frequent visitor. When the old man Shen who was guarding the door saw her, he didn't need to report her, he directly led her to the gate of Qi Muyuan's courtyard and shouted inside: "Young Master, Young Master Du is here." ”

Seeing that Qi Muyuan came out to greet them, he saluted the two and retreated.

Qi Bokun was also at home, and when he heard that Du Jinning was coming, he didn't call her over, but went to Qi Muyuan's courtyard himself.

When a grandfather enters his grandson's yard, he naturally does not need to be informed. When he arrived at the door, he walked in directly, and just happened to hear Du Jinning talking: "I have studied the topics of the provincial and township examinations of the court over the years, and found that the court now has a tendency to pay more and more attention to arithmetic and law. ”

When Qi Bokun heard these words, his steps became slower and slower, and finally stopped at the door, listening carefully to the conversation inside.

I only heard Du Jinning continue: "You have also seen the arithmetic, because of the advocacy of the household department in the past two years, we have produced a large number of arithmetic questions in the county examination and the government examination. The law questions have not yet been released in the hospital examination, but the law has appeared in the township examination questions in many provinces in the last session. Those questions are not just about familiarity with laws and regulations, but about case studies. This was something that used to be something that only appeared in the test. It can be seen that the court is paying more and more attention to this aspect. ”

"You mean that Zhao Liang will come up with the law question?" Qi Muyuan asked, "Is it because he once served in the Criminal Department?" ”

"Yes." Du Jinning said, "And according to my inference, he will not give case analysis questions like the township examination and the general examination, but will examine the familiarity of the laws and regulations." After all, this is only a court exam, and the assessment of the law in the general examination has not been widely rolled out, and if he takes a case analysis question in the academy, he will be blamed. But not with the legal regulations, which is the basis of the case study. The memory of the regulations of the hospital examination and the case analysis of the township examination are more logical, and he will not only not be blamed, but will be greatly appreciated. ”

Hearing this, Qi Bokun couldn't help it, turned around and raised his feet to enter the door, and said in his mouth: "Okay, well said, said too well." ”

Hearing the voice, Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan both stood up and saluted in unison: "Grandpa Qi." ”

"Grandfather."

Qi Bokun pressed his palm, motioned for them to sit down, walked to the main seat and sat down, looked Du Jinning up and down, and his appreciation was beyond words: "Jinning, I thought I had a high opinion of you, but I never thought that I still looked down on you, you are better than my likeness." We are so lucky to have you as a friend. ”

"Grandpa Qi, don't say that. Without your support and Qi Muyuan's help, I would be just a frog at the bottom of a well, unable to see the sky outside. Du Jinning hurriedly stood up and said modestly.

Qi Bokun waved his hand: "Let's not talk about it." Since I praise you, you are worthy of my praise. ”

Motioning for Du Jinning to sit down, he asked, "Where did you know the township and meeting test questions in other provinces in previous years?" ”

"Didn't Qi Muyuan and I partner to open a bookstore? This bookstore not only sells the Four Books and the Five Classics and the discourse books, but also sends people to various places to collect their township examinations, hospital examinations, and government examination questions over the years, printing and selling them. ”

Qi Bokun was more and more shocked.

He knew that the two children opened a bookstore, but at that time he only thought that Qi Muyuan saw that Du Jinning was short of money and wanted to help him, so he funded to help open this business. And Du Jinning is just selling his own scripts, and then selling some calligraphy and painting, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and that's it.

I didn't expect Du Jinning to use these resources at hand to see the trend of scientific research in the whole country clearly. This kind of big-picture view, this insight, is not something that ordinary people can have. Even if his grandson Qi Muyuan is very smart, he probably didn't expect this.

Now that Du Jinning has passed these test questions, he can judge the trend of the entire country's scientific examination, so can he see the changes in the court clearly through these?

He asked quietly, "In that case, what do you think of the court?" ”

Du Jinning is from a high vantage point, looking down on the current Great Song Dynasty from the perspective of God, and naturally has her opinion on the court. But in front of Qi Bokun, an old fox, she didn't dare to expose too much.

She is so wise and close to a demon, she doesn't want people to see her as a monster.

She shook her head and said a little dazedly: "I haven't been in contact with the court, I haven't thought about this." ”

Qi Bokun smiled, shook his head and said, "Yes, I'm confused." You are so young, you have only been literate for a few years, and it is amazing to have the knowledge you have now. If you can understand the movements of the court, then we old guys really don't know how to live. ”

Du Jinning smiled and did not speak.
