Chapter 558: Going to Beijing
"Grandfather, do you have any message for you?" Qi Muyuan asked again.
"The old lady said that when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely open Enke next year. When the situation is stable, the young master will go to Beijing, and the old lady will arrange for the young master to go to Taixue to study for a while, so as to wait for the next year's examination. ”
Speaking of this, he turned to Du Jinning again: "This is Young Master Du?" ”
Du Jinning was slightly surprised, nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
The old lady also asked the villain to bring a message to Young Master Du, saying that his old man treated Young Master Du as his own grandson. He will ask for one more place in Taixue, and when the young master of my family enters Beijing, Young Master Du will enter Beijing together, and study in Taixue together, you can treat the Qi family as your own home. ”
Qi Muyuan began to hear that the old lady Qi wanted him to enter Beijing and study in Taixue, but he was a little unhappy because he was reluctant to give up Du Jinning. Hearing this at this time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he persuaded Du Jinning without waiting for him to speak: "Jinning, agree." Even if you don't want to go, you will have to go to Beijing when the time comes. The exams are all in the spring, and now it is only half a year until next spring. Even if you don't enter Taixue, you have to go to Beijing two or three months in advance, and if you go with me, it's just another two or three months in advance. In addition, the level of lectures of the gentlemen of Taixue is always higher than that of the gentlemen here, and they will gain something when they enter Taixue to listen to the lectures. ”
Du Jinning listened to it and was very moved.
In her previous life, in order to do projects, she ran all over the country and even around the world, and she was not happy to stay in a small place for a long time. She has also stayed in the capital city of Gui Province for two or three years, and after thinking about it for a long time, she also wants to go to a new place to take a look.
In addition, although she had to understand the yuan in this government examination, she didn't think that she was very good and could be admitted to the jinshi in one fell swoop. The literary style of Gui Province is not prosperous, and the level of gentlemen is also limited. If she can go to Taixue to study, her level will definitely be improved.
She nodded, "Okay." But......" she raised her eyes and looked at Qi Muyuan, "You also know that I have been studying rice seeds for the past few years, even if I want to leave here and go to the capital, I will have to wait for the rice to be harvested." ”
Even if she knows how to breed high-yield hybrid rice, it takes time to collect the seeds and experiment, which is a long-term process. Du Jinning couldn't wait for her to be admitted to the Jinshi and become a farmer before starting this work. After all, she didn't know when she would be admitted to the Jinshi, and it was not up to her to decide when she would be a farmer, let alone when her true gender would be exposed, so since she had the financial and manpower resources, she sent everyone to collect rice seeds, and opened a paddy field next to her yard to do rice seed cultivation - this was reserved for her when she built the house.
Qi Muyuan also knew about this.
Others may think that Du Jinning is fooling around, a child playing house, but Qi Muyuan himself has actively participated in the trial of the case since he was a child, and Du Jinning's ability in tea planting and flower planting is very convincing, and Qi Muyuan's attitude towards her cultivation of rice seeds is convincing and very supportive.
Hearing this, he said, "Then I'll wait for you to go together." ”
Two crops of rice are planted here in Gui Province a year, and the harvest of late rice will be in September and October of the lunar calendar. Now that autumn has just passed, it is already the beginning of September, and at most I can wait for a month to enter Beijing. At that time, the situation in the capital was also stable, and the time was just right.
Du Jinning was still very happy to be able to go to Beijing with Qi Muyuan.
Thinking that Cheng Xing might have brought other news, which she couldn't listen to as an outsider, Du Jinning stood up at the right time and said, "If it's okay, I'll go back first." My fourth sister's family affairs have to be discussed with the Fang family. ”
"Okay." Qi Muyuan got up and sent her to the door, then sat back and continued to listen to Cheng Xing talk about things in Beijing.
When Du Jinning returned home, she heard that Zhang Hongwen had gone to the guest house to rest, so she went to Chen's place and told her mother the news that Qi Muyuan said.
"Then you plan to go to Beijing in a month?" Chan asked.
Du Jinning nodded: "Yes." The fourth sister's wedding wine was also set at this time. Now that the emperor has died, the people are forbidden to marry within a month, and the marriage time of the fourth sister has also been pushed back. Just a month later, I went to Beijing after eating the wedding wine, and the timing was just right. ”
Chen thought for a while: "Then I'll go to the capital with you." ”
Du Jinning was taken aback: "Mother's ......"
For the Chen family, she naturally thought about how to arrange it, but she didn't expect that the Chen family would take the initiative to go to Beijing with her.
You must know that people who have never been far away will have a fear of distant and unfamiliar places. When Chen followed her to Fucheng, she was worried for a long time. If she wants to go to the capital with her this time, she will probably have to hesitate for a long time. And Du Jinning knew that the Chen family was very satisfied with her current life, and she would definitely be reluctant to give up the comfortable and familiar life here to go to the capital.
"Mother, that's what I think." She said, "When the time comes, I will ask my eldest brother-in-law and fourth brother-in-law to see if they want to go to Beijing with me." If they all go, and they all take their sisters with them, then you can also go to the capital together. But if my sisters stay here, you'd better be here first. When I am admitted to the Jinshi and become an officer, I will place you depending on the situation. ”
She took a risk when she was admitted to the Jinshi. If the Chen family doesn't go to the capital with him, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and someone else will help him, maybe he will be able to avoid the limelight. But if she enters Beijing, once her true identity is found out, Chen can't avoid it if she wants to.
So if it was possible, Du Jinning did not plan to bring Chen into Beijing.
"No, I'll go with you." Chan's attitude is very firm.
"Mother." Du Jinning shouted disapprovingly.
"It's decided, where you are, my mother is there. If you don't go with you, who will take care of your daily life? You can't let Aoki take care of you, can you? Chan's attitude is very firm.
Du Jinning knew that Chen was going to take risks with her, and she couldn't help but have a sour nose.
Chen patted her hands: "Your sisters are married, I am relieved." In the future, we will bear it together no matter what happens. This is what we said in advance, and we are not allowed to go back. ”
Du Jinning looked at her firm eyes and nodded vigorously: "Okay." ”
On the second day, Chen went to Fang's house, re-selected an auspicious day with Fang Shaohua's mother, and moved the date of marriage back by 20 days. Du Jinning had breakfast with Zhang Hongwen, and after showing him some articles, he also hurried to Xu Chengyuan's house to discuss with him about entering Beijing.
When they went home at noon, the two of them met, and Chen said: "Mrs. Fang said that when your fourth sister and they get married, they will go to the capital." ”
"The eldest brother-in-law wants to take his family to Beijing together, but his mother is still hesitating." Du Jinning said.
