Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 59

Zhang Hongwen was overjoyed when he saw his husband coming, he went forward to salute, and replied: "The student brought Du Jinning from the same village over here to meet the head of the mountain." Then he pointed to Du Jinning, "Sir, this is what I told you earlier. Du Jinning, she has excellent qualifications and has a photographic memory."

As he spoke, he introduced to Du Jinning: "This is my teacher, surnamed Huang, who is also your fourth uncle's teacher."

Du Jinning hurried forward to salute: "Du Jinning has met Mr. Huang."

Mr. Huang sized her up, nodded, then turned to Zhang Hongwen and said gently, "You guys wait here, I'll go in first."

"Yes." Zhang Hongwen watched Huang Chengming enter the room, then turned his head and winked at Du Jinning, signaling her to be calm and calm.

Du Jinning smiled at him very gratefully.

This Mr. Huang, she had heard from her fourth uncle, was a Juren in the early years, and had a good personal relationship with her uncle when she was a young scholar.The fourth uncle's aptitude is not good, but he was able to worship under Huang Chengming's school. He entered this Boyue Academy because of Huang Chengming's uncle's respect.

Hearing Zhang Hongwen's tone just now, it seems that he has already told Huang Chengming about her situation in private.So no matter it is for her uncle, fourth uncle, or Zhang Hongwen, Huang Chengming will say a few words for her, which is very beneficial to her. At least the head of the mountain will give her a chance, right?

Not long after, Guan Jiaze came out and waved to Du Jinning: "Come on, come in." Then he said to Zhang Hongwen, "Mr. Huang is here, you can come in too."

Du Jinning and Zhang Hongwen followed him into the room, and saw an uncle in his forties with a beautiful beard sitting at the head, while Huang Chengming was accompanying him in the guest seat. As soon as Du Jinning entered, the two men's eyes fell on her .

"Zan Chuan has seen the head of the mountain and Mr. Zhang Hongwen." Zhang Hongwen bowed his hands.

Du Jinning also cupped his hands: "Du Jinning has met the head of the mountain and Mr. Huang."

"Oh? Do you know Mr. Huang?" Guan Lehe asked while stroking his beard.

"Brother Zhang introduced you at the door just now." Du Jinning replied, "At home, I also heard my uncle and uncle mention Mr. Huang."

Zhang Hongwen became a little impatient when he heard that, he gave Du Jinning a reproachful look, raised his head and blinked at Huang Chengming apologetically.

Huang Chengming's coming here at this time was naturally the result of his begging for a long time. His original intention was to let his husband beat the side drums beside him and speak good words for Du Jinning.But this is all based on the fact that the head of the mountain does not know the relationship between the husband and Du Jinning.If he knew, not only would his husband not be good enough to speak good words for Du Jinning, but it was also a coincidence that he came here today, and there was a suspicion of deliberate calculations, which would arouse the mountain chief's suspicion of his husband for no reason.

Du Jinning had another idea.If she entered the academy, the relationship between Du Yinsheng and Mr. Huang would be impossible to hide.Since you can't hide it, it's better to say it now and get a frank impression.

It doesn't matter to her if she finds out later. After all, she is a child, and she enters the academy on the basis of her ability to study. As long as her grades are good, it doesn't matter if the head of the mountain has a bad impression of her. Prepare for the imperial examination.

But Mr. Huang is different. This will make Guan Shanchang think that he is a villain who loves to calculate and play tricks.Mr. Huang helped her, but left a bad impression in front of his boss. Naturally, she didn't want to hurt Mr. Huang like this.

Huang Chengming is in his fifties, how can he not know these people's sophistication?Naturally, he had already greeted Guan Lehe, only his little apprentice was stupid and didn't know.Seeing Du Jinning talking like this now, he raised his eyebrows, very surprised. I don't know if Du Jinning did it on purpose, or because he has less city than his own stupid apprentice, so what to say.

He couldn't help but looked at Du Jinning again, thoughtful.

Guan Lehe nodded, and asked again: "I heard from Jia Ze that you have a photographic memory?"

(In ancient times, scholars generally called each other's characters to show respect. But each person corresponds to a character, which makes the names of the novels appear confusing, and the names are too complicated, and people sometimes get confused. I know who this person is. So for the sake of simplicity, I will ask them to call them by their names instead of their words when they talk in the future, so I will explain here)
Du Jinning hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Guan is too well-known, but my memory is slightly better than that of ordinary people."

"Oh?" Guan Lehe frowned, his face darkened immediately, he turned to Guan Jiaze and said, "Look at you, he obviously doesn't have a photographic memory, but you exaggerate in front of me and recommend him to me Come on, what is this nonsense?"

Guan Jiaze's family background is prominent, and the old lady in the family loves him very much. He has always been fearless, but he is afraid of this uncle who is the head of the mountain.What's more, he was only 13 years old, and he was still young. Being blamed by Guan Lehe, he immediately panicked, stepped forward and lowered his head to admit his mistake: "The student didn't investigate clearly, so he took him to the head of the mountain without authorization, the student If there is a mistake, I ask the head of the mountain to punish me."

Guan Lehe blamed his nephew on the surface, but glanced at Du Jinning quietly, only to see that the child just looked up at him, then lowered his head again, neither panic nor frustrated that he couldn't get what he wanted, he was very happy. With a calm look, he was a little confused about this child.

Guan Jiaze came in just now, praised Du Jinning, and said that he wanted Du Jinning to enter the academy. Guan Lehe couldn't help but think about it, and asked about the process of their acquaintance. The enthusiastic nephew set up a trap in order to achieve the purpose of entering the academy and even worshiping under his master.

Although seeing Du Jinning herself later, he found that she was thin and small, dressed in tattered clothes, with handsome features and clear eyes, which was quite different from the scheming person he imagined, but he still tried to test her out, so as to see the child's character. .

If the aptitude is excellent, but the conduct is not good, and the character is not good, then he will not allow Du Jinning to enter the academy.The more talented a person with unrighteous intentions, the greater the harm.As the head of the mountain, he can't bear such things the most.

But I don't think he can't see through Du Jinning!

A small child, still a country boy, has never been educated. Could it be that his scheming is deeper than that of a forty-year-old mountain chief?
Regarding this, Guan Lehe didn't believe it.

On the contrary, Zhang Hongwen, who was standing next to Du Jinning, had a panicked expression and turned his head to look at his teacher Huang Chengming for help. This is the normal reaction of a child in such a situation.

He said to Guan Jiaze: "Go outside and kneel, if I don't cry out, you just keep kneeling."
