This news didn't affect Du Jinning's mood, she stretched out her head and called Aoki: "You let Liu Daqing and a few of them come over." ”

"Yes, young master."

Chen didn't see anything from Du Jinning's face, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Du Jinning shook his head and said, "It was sent by Qi Muyuan to tell me who is the chief examiner and who is the deputy chief examiner." ”

After thinking about it, she told Chen: "This kind of news is confidential, so I'm afraid that some news will leak out." So mother, don't talk about it, so as not to hurt Grandpa Qi and Qi Muyuan. ”

Chen was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't say it." ”

Du Jinning nodded, walked to the desk, and wrote the two names on a few pieces of paper.

After writing Jiang Tong's name, she stared at these two words for a long time, thinking about whether to write Jiang Tong's information.

Although Jiang Tong is an official who has been Zhishi, because he is Qi Yuandao's in-law and Qi Siyu's maternal grandfather, Du Jinning still paid attention to him. This person is quite talented and learned, otherwise the emperor would not have let him be the prince of the country. His style of writing is relatively plain, which is just the opposite of Gu Xinian's style.

Du Jinning really couldn't figure it out, put these two people together as the main examiner and deputy examiner, what did Zhao Yu think. Jiang Tong's health is not good, can he withstand the intensity of rushing to correct the test papers for a few days and nights? If it weren't for his participation in correcting the test papers, then even if it was Jiang Tong's question, he should have written the essay according to Gu Xinian's preferences.

The scorer is the scorer.

Another point, if Qi Siyu also participates in the scientific expedition this year, then Jiang Tong should take the initiative to avoid it. The Great Song Dynasty has made very strict regulations in this regard: "The relatives of the clan are above the line, and there are relatives who serve and those who do not obey relatives, and they are ordered to be avoided, and the rest are not detained." "Unless Qi Siyu does not participate in the scientific expedition this year.

After thinking about it for a long time, Du Jinning finally didn't write any information behind Jiang Tong's name.

She always felt that Jiang Tong would only participate in the questioning, not in the marking. If she wrote about Jiang Tong's style preferences, she would mislead Xu Chengyuan and others.

After Liu Daqing and a few people came over, Du Jinning handed over a few letters to them: "Send them to Xu Chengyuan, Fang Shaohua, Guan Jiaze, and Liang Xiankuan." He also advised, "Give it to them personally, or you would rather not send it." Do you understand? ”

"Yes, young master."

Soon, several people came back and forth, and the letters had been delivered.

Du Jinning slept peacefully.

On the second day, Du Jinning was woken up by Chen, she carefully pasted the fake breast, and then the fake Adam's apple, and applied her homemade foundation and setting powder at the junction of the real and fake skin. In order to reassure Chen, she also showed Chen.

Chen was very surprised when he saw it: "Ah, it's the same as the real thing, I can't see it at all." "When I reached out and touched it, I couldn't find anything unusual.

"When I entered the examination room, it was still dark, and even if there was a light in the examination room, it was not very bright, and it was completely foolable." Du Jinning put on his clothes and said with a smile.

Chen looked at her with a complicated expression. Liang Jiufang sighed: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"I'd love to." Du Jinning checked himself up and down, and found that there was no problem, so he went out to the hall for breakfast.

After the meal, she took the car to the Tribute Courtyard.

It was still far away from the Gongyuan, and the carriage couldn't move, so Du Jinning had to get down and walk.

How many candidates took the examination this time, Du Jinning did not count. But she knew that in the ninth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, as many as 16,000 candidates participated in the examination. Originally, there were only 1,000 people participating in the prefectural and township examinations, and the entrance to the Gongyuan was crowded. With so many people now, you can imagine how crowded it is.

Fortunately, Du Jinning came earlier. Everyone followed the old rules, and they came to step on it yesterday and made an appointment where to meet. Now Sun Kun and Zhang Songtao are protecting Du Jinning in the middle, and there is a tall and burly Liu Daqing in front of him, and the group has been crowded for a long time, which sent Du Jinning to the predetermined location.

"Jinning, are you here? I'm worried you won't be able to squeeze in. There are just too many people. Qi Mu said from afar.

Du Jinning looked left and right: "The others haven't come yet?" ”

Before Qi Muyuan could answer, he saw that Xu Chengyuan was also escorted by Zhou Cheng and a manservant from his family.

There are a lot of people here, and it is not a place to talk, even if Xu Chengyuan has a stomach of questions about Jiang Tong and Gu Xinian, he can't ask, and the three of them have to chat about it. After a while, Fang Shaohua, Guan Jiaze, and Liang Xiankuan also arrived one after another.

In the past, the township examination was based on the county's unit admission; The examination will be carried out by province. And in order to prevent candidates from finding a place to enter with so many people, it is stipulated that each province will enter from which gate.

Gui Province enters at the west gate of the Gongyuan, and all the candidates will gather here to wait for the entrance.

Guan Jiaze saw that Du Jinning had been looking around, as if he was looking for someone, and he couldn't help but wonder: "What are you looking for?" ”

"I want to see if Qi Siyu is here." Du Jinning said.

"What if he comes? Can I still compete with you for a place? Guan Jiaze joked. He obviously didn't know the relationship between the examiner Jiang Tong and Qi Siyu.

Qi Muyuan glanced at Guan Jiaze, who was heartless, and silently turned his head to the side.

"That's right, what if you come?" Du Jinning smiled, no longer looked left and right, and waited for the entrance with peace of mind.

Finally, a large lantern with "Gui Province" written on it appeared near the West Gate, and everyone hurriedly squeezed over and stood with other candidates from Gui Province.

Before Du Jinning could stand still, Qi Muyuan whispered in her ear: "If you don't see Qi Siyu, he shouldn't have taken this exam." ”

Du Jinning raised his head and looked at Qi Muyuan, who was like a doorpost, and said with emotion: "It's good to grow tall." ”

Qi Muyuan smiled: "It's still useful." ”

"Alas, I think, Qi Muyuan, it's better for you to smile less." Du Jinning said very seriously.

Her words happened to be heard by Guan Jiaze. He turned his head and asked, "Why?" ”

He had a very good opinion about Qi Muyuan's paralyzed face, and felt that it affected his mood very much. Especially when he was telling jokes, Qi Muyuan made him very frustrated.

"If he laughs a lot, how many peach blossoms do we have to help him block, do you know?" Du Jinning still has a serious face.

Guan Jiaze looked at Qi Muyuan seriously in confusion.

"Hahaha......" Fang Shaohua, who had been watching them play treasure, couldn't help it, and laughed out loud with his stomach in his hands.

Qi Muyuan couldn't help laughing.

Guan Jiaze was finally able to see Qi Muyuan's smile. He genuinely exclaimed, "Really, this kid looks good when he laughs." ”

Qi Muyuan's face turned red when everyone saw it, and he quickly turned his head with a smile. When everyone said something else to put the topic aside, he turned his head and smiled at Du Jinning.

“……”

Du Jinning's eyes widened.

What should I do if she gets teased? Waiting online, it's in a hurry.
