Du Yaoyao hurriedly helped her up, "Mother, get up and talk."
Cui Niang's eyes showed distress, "Yaoyao, apart from your daughter, your brother is the most worrying thing about my mother. He only wants to get ahead in the imperial examination, and the exam is held every three years. I have taken the township examination three times, and each time is worse than the last time. I have been wasting seven or eight years even studying and taking the test. You can see if you can, can you..."
There were six examinations in ancient imperial examinations. First, the children's examination, the government examination, and the college examination determine that the students are qualified in their studies and obtain the title of Juren. Then they will be screened by the provincial examination, whether they are eligible to enter Beijing to participate in the general examination and palace examination.
Shen Jie had his own golden finger, and he was the leader in all six tests, a rare talent with six elements in history.
And Du Wenwu, a passer-by who is not pitied by the author, has been stuttering for so many years and failed the provincial examination.
Du Yaoyao sighed, it wasn't that she didn't want to help, but that she couldn't.
For one thing, the relationship between her and Shen Jie was not at peace with each other, and one day the conflict broke out, which might affect the Du family.
Secondly, the current situation in the court is in turmoil, and King Chen and the crown prince are fighting for the throne. There must be a fierce battle between the two. At this time, Du Wenwu entered the officialdom through Shen Jie's back door, so he must not become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of Prince Chen, and be suppressed and tortured everywhere.
Thirdly, Shen Jie, as the censor of one dynasty, took the path of a serious imperial examination background, not to mention whether he was willing to open the back door for others. Even though he agreed at the risk of being impeached, how can he survive for a long time if he is based in the officialdom and only relies on connections without real skills.
Du Yaoyao sorted out the clues, thinking about how to explain the truth to Cuiniang in a concise way.
"Mother..."
Du Yaoyao clenched her palms tightly, her eyes filled with pain, and Cuiniang explained clearly the ins and outs of how she was kidnapped by the Prince of Chen and nearly lost her innocence.
"That Chen Wang is so bold?" Cuiniang asked in shock.
"Isn't it?" Du Yaoyao agreed, not mentioning Shen Jie's ruthless revenge on the Prince of Chen, and sighed, "They dare to do this to me. They are afraid that my brother will enter the officialdom. If it is small, he will be injured, and if it is serious, his life will be in danger."
"Then let's wait for the court to stabilize," Cuiniang was concerned, "My dear, you should pay more attention to your safety in the capital."
"Mother, don't worry," Du Yaoyao comforted, "I usually take care of myself in the mansion and don't go out very often. My husband also sent many people to protect me in secret."
"That's good, that's good." Empress Cui Niang nodded in fear .
Du Yaoyao thought: Cuiniang was not like a woman who made things difficult for her daughter for her son, she was trembling when she begged, and even felt so guilty that she wanted to kneel down to her at first.
Thinking of Du Qing's urging at the dinner table, she guessed that this should be the businessman's idea. There is no profiteering, no business, only greedy for petty profits, regardless of the overall situation in the future.
Wouldn't Du Qing take the opportunity to mention this to Shen Jie? Du Yaoyao was uneasy.
Looking at the sky outside, with the moon hanging high in the sky, Du Yaoyao shirked, "Mother, it's getting late, I'm a little tired today, so I'll go back and rest first."
"Okay..." Cui Niang agreed, her eyes reluctant to part .
Du Yaoyao wanted to rest at Cuiniang's place, but she was worried about the conversation between Du Qing and Shen Jie tonight.
"Mother, I'll come to accompany you tomorrow night." Du Yaoyao hugged her before leaving.
Cuiniang watched Du Yaoyao go away, and said happily: "Okay, my mother will wait for you tomorrow night."
Du Yaoyao went to the front yard to inquire, and the banquet tonight was over.
After returning from this trip, she did not accept the new residence prepared by Aunt Liu, so she asked her servants to repair the original boudoir, and moved in with Shen Jie.
"Ma'am," Liu'er greeted her as soon as she stepped into the courtyard door, "My lord is taking a bath."
"Yes." Du Yaoyao casually glanced at the courtyard before walking into the bedroom.
The layout of the room is similar to the one she had in the capital, with a gorgeous and rich atmosphere.
Du Yaoyao took out the box in her sleeve and put it on the dowry, while Yinye helped disassemble the hairpin ring behind her.
After a show of venting, a slender and tall figure appeared in the mirror.
Yin Ye retreated quietly, and Du Yaoyao wondered, "Why are you washing so fast?"
"I heard movement in the yard, so I think you're back." Shen Jie bent down, brushed her long black hair with her fingers, and saw the tiredness between her brows from the mirror. , "What's the matter, what did my mother-in-law tell you?"
Du Yaoyao turned around and put her arms around his waist, burying her face in his clothes, "Did my father tell you?"
"Say what?" Shen Jie gently rubbed the back of her neck.
Du Yaoyao let out a muffled sigh.
"What about your brother?" Shen Jie asked.
"Well," Du Yaoyao raised her face, "Did you agree?"
"No," Shen Jie raised her chin, "I'm going to come back and ask my wife."
"Don't make trouble," she patted his hand, "Why do you What did you say?"
"It's a big matter, think about it."
Du Yaoyao felt relieved, she guessed that Shen Jie would not agree.
"No need to agree, I'll tell them tomorrow."
"You don't want your brother to become an official and get rich?" Shen Jie joked.
"If you don't become a high-ranking official, you can't make a fortune. It's better to start a business." Du Yaoyao stuck out her tongue and said seriously, "The current situation in the court is not good. You put my brother in now, which is quite a living target for King Chen and the others."
Shen Jie smiled, showing appreciation.
Du Yaoyao continued: "My father and my aunt's family are very close. My aunt and daughter-in-law and Concubine Chen are sisters. My father always takes chances, thinking that he has people on both sides, and that my brother can enjoy himself in the officialdom. I don't know. Among the princes... the battle is dangerous." The battle
for the throne involves marriage and relatives, and no one can remain neutral.
For example, Du Yaoyao, as the niece of Prince Chen, married the prince's confidant. If she had a heart for the Yongning Houfu and did something that would harm Shen Jie, the prince would definitely send her to Huangquan Road in seconds.
Similarly, because she did not stand in line with the Hou's Mansion, Prince Chen regarded her as an enemy, disregarded his aunt's face, and used insidious means to bully her to humiliate Shen Jie.
Now that the overall situation is uncertain, when Du Wenwu entered the court, Prince Chen acquiesced that he would join the Prince's command, and he would never show mercy.
If possible, Du Yaoyao hopes to give Du Wenwu a chance to practice after the crown prince ascends the throne and becomes a prime minister. The method is feasible.
Selfishly, Du Yaoyao didn't want the Du family to have too much relationship with Shen Jie. Somewhere, she felt that even if she changed the plot and escaped, she would not stay by Shen Jie's side for long.
"Yaoyao makes sense, let's read it later." Shen Jie said.
Du Yaoyao knew that what he said was after the crown prince proclaimed himself emperor, and this day would not be too far away.
Shen Jie helped Dong Gong to start planning a long time ago. The capital city will soon change.
"Okay, don't worry, I have everything to do with me." Shen Jie rubbed away Du Yaoyao's frowning brows, and scraped the bridge of her small nose.
"Mother-in-law's situation, you are far away in the capital and can't save Qingzhou from the fire, I will find a way here, huh?" I
have to say that Shen Jie is really a lovely interpreter sometimes.
"Thank you husband—" Du Yaoyao called out sweetly.
"Mr. Xie can't just use his mouth..." Shen Jie slid his fingertips into Du Yaoyao's collar.
"Then what's the use?" Du Yaoyao blinked pretending to be ignorant.
"It's fine with your mouth." Shen Jie stared at her bright red lips, slid his fingers up, and poked her in her mouth, "It's pretty tight."
"Ahhh—" Du Yaoyao screamed, He said two mouthfuls, "You think beautifully!"
The place where the man peed was too dirty.
"Why, can't you reciprocate courtesy?" Shen Jie laughed, "Your, I've eaten it several times."
"I'm a fairy, and you're a stinky man, can it be the same?" Du Yao said forcefully.
"No matter how fragrant a fairy is, she will be fucked soft by a stinky man in the end." Shen Jie picked her up and pressed her on the dressing table, "Come on, let me smell the fragrance from the top or the bottom."
Du Yaoyao hid, "No Take a bath."
"Isn't the original taste better?" Shen Jie teased, pulling off her clothes.
