Du Jinning shook his head: "I'm already shorter than them, isn't it normal for this dwarf to be one-headed?" The mountain chief didn't ask me to take the test, which shows that I am not good at learning. When the time comes, I will be able to learn, and the mountain chief will naturally ask me to participate in the scientific expedition. ”

She originally didn't plan to participate in the imperial examination, but Du Fangfei's incident touched her a lot.

For her sake, Du Fangfei can even sacrifice her own lifelong happiness, how can she not participate in the imperial examination because of a little difficulty?

She is a person who wants to die, but before she dies, if she can get the name of Xiucai, Juren and even Jinshi, it will be of great benefit to the Chen family and her three sisters. At least they won't be like they are now, where everyone can come up and step on it.

The reason why Yan Cen dared to provoke them was because he saw that they did not have any power, so he offended them again and again. If she has a talent and fame, even if Yan Cen wants to confront Yan Songtao and work against the Guan family, she has to worry about it in her heart, and she doesn't dare to start easily.

Everyone understands this truth.

However, in order for her to participate in the imperial examination, and to obtain some kind of recognition in this way, she must take the first case. Otherwise, I'm too sorry that God has given her two lifetimes of unforgettable qualifications, and I'm too sorry for the identity of a traverser. And with her current knowledge, it is not a sure thing to get the head of the case. Besides, she was only literate for two months, and she came back with a county case, not only was she sorry for the people who had been cold for ten years, but she also behaved too demonic. When the time comes, some people suspect that it will be bad to take her to the fire and roast her.

It's better to wait for next year, anyway, the children's test is once a year. She will only be twelve years old next year, so it's just right to make a name for herself.

"That's how you listen to your mountain chief?" Yuan Xiuzhu glared at him, "Don't listen to me?" ”

"That's right, the mountain chief is my husband, and everything is good for me. He didn't ask me to take the test, so naturally he had his considerations. Du Jinning nodded.

After speaking, she raised her head and glanced at Yuan Xiuzhu: "As for your old man, it is naturally good for me." I know you don't really want me to take the test, you just want to tease me. Qi Muyuan's grandfather was afraid that he would be killed, and you were naturally afraid that I would be killed, your old man was hardworking, I know, Jin Ning was grateful. As he spoke, he also gave Yuan Xiuzhu a deep look.

"You kid......" Yuan Xiuzhu pointed at Du Jinning, so angry that he spit out his beard and glared.

Du Jinning felt that his reaction was strange, when he heard a burst of laughter, and Qi Bokun and Guan Lehe walked out of the house. The one who laughed so messily was Qi Bokun. Guan Lehe looked at his disciple with a look of relief.

Seeing that Du Jinning was puzzled, Guan Lehe explained: "Mr. Yuan made a bet with your Grandpa Qi, saying that you heard that Qi Muyuan and Guan Jiaze were going to participate in the scientific examination, and they definitely wanted to go." I and your grandfather Qi don't think you will go. Sure enough, we read you right. Yes, yes, worthy of being my Guan Lehe's disciple, I know the hard work of being a teacher. ”

Du Jinning was so crying and laughing by Guan Lehe.

The group sat down, and Yuan Xiuzhu handed a piece of dim sum to Du Jinning, and then said to her: "If you don't have a conscience, you don't usually come to me, but now you can find me to make sure you have something." Say, what's the matter? ”

"......" Du Jinning was speechless.

Those who don't know, when they hear what he says, may not think that they have anything to do with each other.

She looked at Qi Bokun, then at Guan Lehe, turned her face to Yuan Xiuzhu and said, "Mr. Yuan, are the flowers and trees in your home okay?" Nothing is wrong, right? ”

"No, it's all good." Yuan Xiuzhu looked at her with a smile.

Du Jinning knew that this old fox promised to know their plans. Also, Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan must have told them about calligraphy and painting when they went back last night, and the three of them were together before she came in, where did Yuan Xiuzhu not know her intention?

She simply stopped beating around the bush and said with a smile: "Originally, I also said that if there is any problem with the flowers and trees in your old man's home, I will help you solve it, and you will also do me a favor." ”

"No, the flowers and trees in my home are very good." Yuan Xiuzhu shook his head, wanting to block Du Jinning's words.

But Du Jinning was thick-skinned, and then said: "It's okay, it's okay, I still want to ask your old man to do me a favor." Can you lend me two of your old paintings? I opened a bookstore with Qi Muyuan and Guan Jiaze, and I would like to ask you to borrow two paintings to put them on the table, and make a treasure of the town store together with the calligraphy and paintings of Grandpa Qi and my husband. ”

"Why do you have so many treasures in the town? It's enough to have your Grandpa Qi alone. Yuan Xiuzhu didn't skimp on those two paintings. It's just that when people are old, they like to tease children. He wouldn't agree to Du Jinning so easily.

Du Jinning also knew this, and said very cooperatively: "Grandpa Qi's calligraphy and painting support Qi Muyuan, my husband's calligraphy and painting support Guan Jiaze, and I have no one to support me, Mr. Yuan, you can't bear to refuse me, this little pitiful?" As he spoke, he blinked his eyes and looked at Yuan Xiuzhu blankly.

Yuan Xiuzhu pointed at Du Jinning and laughed: "This kid, Xiaokou is really good at talking." Listen, poor little one, I can't bear to hear it. With a wave of his hand, "Okay, I'll lend you two paintings." But it's okay, it's borrowed, not sold. ”

His paintings are the most famous, but he is not short of money, and he never sells his paintings, for fear of falling into the hands of those who only understand copper odor and do not know how to paint, so that those people can use them to vassal elegance. If it is pleasing to the eye, he can give you two; If you don't like it, it's useless for you to ask for it.

Talented and wealthy, that's how capricious.

……

At the beginning of February, the weather in the south has begun to warm up, with spring flowers and green willows budding.

Zhong Yanqing wore a satin jacket and hurriedly entered the teahouse.

"Old Zhong, why haven't you come in the past half a month?" When Li Ming saw him, he couldn't help but come over and ask.

"Alas, don't say it, a big shopkeeper in the family suddenly died of a sudden illness, and the shop was busy for a while, and I have been taking care of it there these days, and I dare not leave." Zhong Yanqing sighed and said.

Li Ming patted him on the shoulder sympathetically and asked again, "Are you okay now?" ”

Zhong Yanqing nodded: "I brought a shopkeeper up, and I felt good after watching it for a few days, so I asked my kid to keep an eye on it, and I had to go out and listen to books." ”

He pointed to the stage: "Where is this "Legend of the Condor Heroes"?" ”

"It's the twentieth time."

Zhong Yanqing stroked his forehead with his hand, looking loveless: "I missed so much!" ”

He put down his hand and sighed: "The other two teahouses, even if they speak slowly, are not much slower. It's long past that, right? ”

Li Ming nodded: "It should be." But I can tell you about this time. ”

Seeing that the storytelling had not yet begun, everyone was talking, Zhong Yanqing personally poured a cup of tea for Li Ming: "There is Brother Lao Li." ”

Li Ming told Zhong Yanqing about the plot of this time.

There is not enough time, so he naturally said it briefly, plus he is not a person who eats by his mouth, and the plot was originally good, but he was stunned to say that it was dry and tasteless. It's good that Zhong Yanqing didn't listen to it, but when he heard that so many wonderful plots were missed by himself, don't mention the chagrin in his heart.

Seeing that the hour was almost up at this time, Li Ming ended his narration and said, "That's all, you can listen to it yourself for a while." With that, he returned to his seat.

As soon as the cloud board behind the stage sounded, Zhuang Yue stepped forward and made a gesture to the audience that was silent after hearing the cloud board.
