Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 103 Letter
Mrs. Chen shook her head: "I haven't eaten it before." She asked curiously, "Isn't this the secret recipe you got? Why, can someone in Lishui County know how to make it?"

Du Jinning was stunned and scratched his head: "This is the prescription I read in the book, I thought everyone would know it."

Seeing Chen's frown, Du Jinning hurriedly comforted her: "Many people know how to make tofu, but there are still people who buy it, right? As long as you make it well, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it."

Chen's eyebrows relaxed, and he smiled and said, "Yes, it's because I was thinking of a demon."

By noon, the dried tofu was ready, and everyone tasted it and were amazed: "It is salty, refreshing, and chewy, so delicious."

"This stuff is better than tender tofu, and it's not easy to spoil." Du Jinning said again.

After tasting this taste, Mrs. Chen became more confident in living a good life, and said to Du Fangfei with a smile: "I think this dried bean curd must be very popular, let's make more in the future, and your brother can have money to go to school." gone."

She used to make tender tofu, and it wasn't that she didn't have competitors, so she only dared to make two boards a day, fearing that it would be spoiled if she couldn't sell it.Even so, she would have to travel around several villages for a day before she could sell those two boards of tofu.But this dried tofu, no one in ten miles and eight villages can make it.It has no competitors and is so delicious that it will definitely sell.

Du Fangfei nodded happily: "Since Brother Ning said to keep it, let's soak beans in a while and make more. We will sell this from tomorrow."

"Mother, don't make tender tofu, just do this." Du Jinning said.

Seeing the three sisters get up in the middle of the night to make tofu in the cold winter months, and Mrs. Chen especially, carrying a burden, blowing the cold wind outside in the freezing cold all day, made her feel uncomfortable.

"There is Young Master Qi and Young Master Guan Qi in the academy. They plan to open a teahouse together with Zhang Hongwen and me. Today they bought the teahouse. When the time comes, let the storyteller talk about the scripts I wrote, and the business will definitely be good. Let's The dried tofu is not taken away, it is only used in teahouses." Du Jinning said.

"Open a teahouse? Where did you get the money?" Chen blurted out, and then thought of the money Du Jinning used to write the script.

"They paid for the teahouse, and I gave the storybook. Zhang Hongwen and I have very little shares." Du Jinning said.

The few people were relieved, and their thoughts returned to selling dried beans.Since the shareholding is very small, the money for that share is not much, and then it will have to make money by selling dried beans.

"This... If it doesn't sell much, why don't we just be free? It's possible, the family still owes the Zhang family a large sum of money. Besides, you need money to go to school, and you have to make some decent clothes. No If you earn more money, how will you live?" Mrs. Chen shook her head.

"That's right." Du Fangfei also answered from the side, "Although we know that you can earn some money by writing, we can't rely on you. You are the youngest, and we should be the ones who make money for you, but now it's instead Come here, how can we feel at ease?"

Du Jinning felt warm in his heart and stopped arguing with them.Anyway, if all goes well, they will move soon.What's the situation after moving, and whether I can still sell silken tofu is still a problem.There's no point arguing about it now.

After making the tofu, Du Jinning began to write the script.

In the evening, Zhang Hongwen came back from the academy with a letter from Guan Lehe.

"Didn't you say anything?" Du Jinning took the letter and asked.

"No. He just asked me to bring this letter to you." Zhang Hongwen was very curious about why Guan Lehe wrote to Du Jinning.

Du Jinning estimated that the letter was about renting land and houses.When I opened the letter, it was indeed so.

Guan Lehe said in the letter: Ask Du Jinning and the Chen family to pack up their things tomorrow and go to the academy to find him, and he will arrange for their family to live in the Zhuangzi below the academy.The house is ready, and the rented fields are fine, so let them rest assured.

After closing the letter, Du Jinning said to Zhang Hongwen, "Your father is at home, right? Go to your house first, and then we can talk about it together."

Although Zhang Hongwen was curious, he didn't want to ask any more, so he greeted Mrs. Chen and the others, and then led her to Zhang's house.

Zhang Guangyi was peeling peanuts in the main room. When he saw Du Jinning coming over, he put down the peanuts and beckoned her into the back room.

"Uncle Zhang, my husband has learned about our family's situation, so he doesn't worry if I stay here any longer, so let's move to Zhuangzi on the other side of the academy." Du Jinning said, and handed Guan Lehe's letter to Zhang Guangyi.

Both Zhang Guangyi and Zhang Hongwen were taken aback, and both father and son frowned slightly.

Zhang Guangyi took the letter and read it again. After a moment of silence, he nodded with a smile and said, "That's fine. Your mountain chief cares about you, and you're right to listen to him."

He had a smile on his face, but felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Although Zhang Hongwen was recommended to Mr. Huang Chengming through Du Yunchang's blessing, entered the academy, and his grades in the academy were considered to be above average, but he was just the most ordinary student in the academy. ?

But ever since Du Jinning got involved with the academy, Zhang Hongwen had been on good terms with the Shanzhang's nephew, and even met with the Shanzhang several times, which was considered to be an account in front of the Shanzhang.Don't look at this small meeting, Zhang Guangyi knows that if it continues like this, it will definitely bring benefits to his son's road to the imperial examination - pull him out more in the future, or ask him in front of the county lord In a word, isn't the probability of him being a scholar much higher?The chances of being selected as a scholar as soon as possible are much higher. This is a chain reaction.

What's more, under Du Jinning's leadership yesterday, he also partnered with wealthy sons like Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan to open a teahouse - making money is a trivial matter, it's all about connections.I heard that Young Master Qi's grandfather was still a senior official in the court.

These are all thanks to Du Jinning.And why did Zhang Hongwen get all this light?Isn't it because he is Du Jinning's fellow villager, and his father is Li Zheng who governs Du's family?

Once Du Jinning moves away, these benefits will be gone.

How could Zhang Guangyi, who had just tasted the sweetness, not be disappointed?
Zhang Hongwen also looked lonely.

He didn't think as deeply as his father did, he just thought that he had hoped to go to and from school with Du Jinning, but now that Du Jinning moved away, wouldn't he be alone again in the future?
Du Jinning lived an extra life in his previous life, so how could he fail to see what Zhang's father and son were thinking?
She smiled and said: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, although I have moved out, the foundation is still here. And Brother Zhang wants to open a teahouse with me. Usually, I spend a lot of time in the academy discussing knowledge and discussing teahouse matters, no Affect our brotherhood."

Seeing his little thoughts being punctured by Du Jinning, Zhang Guangyi felt a little uncomfortable.

He laughed twice, and said: "Brother Ning, please take care of my brother Wen in the academy from now on."

"We take care of each other." Du Jinning said, "Isn't Uncle Zhang taking care of me less these days? Needless to say, just helping me separate my family, change my age and establish a household registration, and lend me money. Like rebuilding, how could Jinning forget it? What's more, I have to ask Uncle Zhang to help me with the registration of household registration. In the future, I have to trouble Uncle Zhang for relocation. At that time, Uncle Zhang will not dislike me. Trouble is good."

Zhang Guangyi's eyes lit up: "Your household registration still wants to stay with us?"

"Naturally, I'm a person here, so I will naturally end up here. The academy is just a temporary residence."

Because the family had only been separated for a few days, and it also involved the separation of Du Yunyi and Du Yunnian, Zhang Guangyi only changed the household registration of the Du family, and he has not gone to the county to apply for it.The change of one Du family into three households involved issues such as tax payment and corvee service, and they had to go to the county government to register.

Originally, taking this opportunity to move the household registration out to the Zhuangzi of the academy, it was a breeze to say hello to Lehe.And it can be regarded as basically getting rid of the relationship with Du Chensheng, which is a good thing.

But Du Jinning did not do this.She has her considerations.

She is now entering the academy disguised as a man, and with a strong teacher like Guan Lehe who can make decisions for her, it may not be up to her to decide whether she will take the imperial examination in the future.If she had no choice but to take the imperial examination, the matter would be complicated, and she might have to suspend her death in the end.

If her household registration falls under the name of Guan Lehe, how can she escape the eyes of Guan Lehe and this old fox if she does some tricks?Therefore, it is better to fall in Dalin Village.
