Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 120 Kindness
Du Jinning listened to the discussion between Du Fangling and sisters in the room, and went to Dong Dacheng's house to ask Aunt Dong about the situation. He could not help but smile, bowed his head and continued to practice calligraphy.

When it was almost time to finish school at the academy, Du Jinning packed up his things and went to the teahouse.

We made an appointment that day, and we met at the teahouse four days later to sign the paperwork.

When they arrived at the teahouse, Guan Jiaze and the others hadn't come yet.Yuan An thought that he had received the order early, and waited there with a servant.Seeing Du Jinning coming, he hurriedly greeted him, pointed to the teahouse and said, "Master Du, do you think there is anything else that needs to be improved?"

In the center of the teahouse, according to Du Jinning's instructions that day, the railings were also installed.

Du Jinning looked around and nodded: "It's good, I don't need it."

He asked Yuan An: "That storyteller, does he live far away? Can someone call him over?"

"It's not far away. It's just in the alley in front. It only takes a cup of tea to go back and forth. I'll ask Xiao Wu to call him." After Yuan An finished speaking, he ordered the servant, and the servant ran out quickly.

"Let's go inside and sit, it's warm inside." Yuan An said again.

Du Jinning followed him into the inner room, sat down and served tea, and she asked, "Uncle Yuan is the housekeeper of the Qi family, right? There are a lot of things to do in the Qi mansion. If you manage this teahouse, are you busy?"

What she meant was to find out what the Qi family meant.After all, the teahouse will be open every day in the future, and there needs to be a manager who stays here all day.As the housekeeper of Qi Mansion, Yuan An couldn't stay here all the time.If the Qi Mansion just let it go after they opened, they would have to find someone to help manage the teahouse.

Yuan An shook his head and said: "It is impossible for me to manage this teahouse, so I just came to help the young masters during this period of time, and repaired the teahouse. Don't ask Young Master Du, I plan to talk about it today. Let us hand over the whole teahouse to the four young masters, and we have completed the task. This teahouse belongs to the four young masters, who will take care of it is naturally up to the four young masters to decide. Of course, if the four young masters need it, we will do our best to help .”

Du Jinning nodded and said with a smile, "I understand."

As for how to take care of it and who will take care of it, it will naturally have to wait for a few people to arrive before deciding.She is not good at expressing anything.

She didn't make her wait long, before the storyteller arrived, Guan Jiaze and the others came over.

"Have you finished writing the script? Hurry up and show it to me first." Guan Jiaze yelled before entering the door.

Du Jinning was very helpless for this story book fan.She was really worried that after reading the first or two volumes of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Guan Jiaze would turn into a madman and force her to write scripts every day.As an internet writer in her previous life, she was urged to update by readers all day long, but she was scared of being urged.In this life, in ancient times, don't be forced to be sent razor blades every day—Guan Jiaze knows where her home is, and it's not far from the academy, so she doesn't need to send razor blades.

She vigilantly vaccinated first: "Let's say it first, don't rush to read the next book every day. Writing a storybook is very brain-dead, you don't want me to grow old before I grow old, right? "

"Bah, bah, it's New Year's Eve, talk about life and death, childish words." Although Guan Jiaze didn't understand what a "brain cell" was, he probably knew what it meant, so he didn't answer Du Jinning's words at all, just pretending Be silly.

Du Jinning is an old Jianghu, how can he be allowed to pass the test like this: "Agree first, otherwise I won't show it to you."

"Brother Ning, brother Du, brother Du..." Guan Jiaze moved closer to Du Jinning, begging non-stop.

Du Jinning pushed him away indifferently.

Guan Jiaze sighed helplessly: "Okay." That way, it was like going to the guillotine.

"Empty words have no proof, write it down in black and white." Du Jinning pushed forward step by step.

"Ah, isn't it?" Guan Jiaze sighed, seeing that Du Jinning was unmoved, he could only take the Four Treasures of the Study in grief and indignation, and wrote a letter of commitment to Du Jinning.Du Jinning saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so he folded it and put it in his arms, and took out the first storybook for him to read.

Qi Muyuan had been standing silently watching the two play tricks. When he saw Du Jinning took out the script, his eyes lit up, and he immediately moved to Guan Jiaze's side, and read the script with him.

Although Zhang Hongwen also loves to read the story books, but as a farmer, he bears much more responsibilities than those two second-generation officials, and he doesn't dare to indulge himself in falling in love with the story books.

Seeing those two people gathered together to read the script, he walked up to Du Jinning, sat down and said, "Brother Ning, my father said that since you have moved to Zhuangzi, you don't need the house in Dalin Village. There is no need to take out two silver coins to advance the teahouse’s share money for me.”

"It's not good." Du Jinning shook his head, his attitude was very firm, "No need."

Indeed, as Zhang Guangyi said, she didn't need to buy that house.With Du Chensheng and Du Yunnian there, I am afraid they will never return to Taohua Village and Dalin Village in this lifetime.And ten taels of silver is not a small amount, if you can save it, you can save it.After all, she has no money on hand now, even if she doesn't have to pay for the shares in the teahouse, but after paying back Zhang Guangyi's 17 taels of silver, she will have nothing left.

Going to the academy after the new year, she still hasn't seen her when she is 20 years old.She can't procrastinate and embarrass her husband, can she?This teahouse is still far from making money, and it will take a month or two to get on the right track; the three melons and two dates earned in the past will also be used as working capital and will not be used for dividends.

In a word, she is short of money.

But at the beginning Zhang Guangyi took the risk and responsibility, changed her age to a higher age, and gave them the house of the Wang family.In order not to let the villagers of Dalin Village have any objections, he promised to use the ten taels of silver to pave the road for the village.Now she turned around and said that the house was no longer in use, but her words came to nothing. Wouldn't that be harming Zhang Guangyi?Those who don't do things like this are simply crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, ungrateful and ungrateful!She would never do such a thing.

But here, Du Jinning remembered Zhang Guangyi's kindness for helping her, and Zhang Guangyi also wanted to sell her a favor, so that she could repay Zhang Hongwen's favor at the academy and the teahouse.

Zhang Hongwen said: "Don't worry, just listen to me."

Du Jinning nodded: "Say it."

Guan Jiaze on the other end was completely immersed in the splendor of the storybook, but Qi Muyuan was dual-purpose, reading the storybook while listening to their conversation with one ear.

"It turned out that the Wang family was completely extinct. At the beginning, everyone felt that it was bad luck, and they didn't want that house. Later, the house was left for another two years, and it became even more dilapidated. Even after a long time, everyone didn't want to have it. But Once you live here, it will be different."

Zhang Hongwen glanced at Du Jinning with a smile, and continued: "It turned out that the house was called the Wang's house, but after you lived in it, it became the Du's house. Now you have been accepted as a personal disciple by the head of the academy, and you have moved out again. Seeing the great future, soaring into the sky, and your family's life getting better and better, the house has naturally changed from an unlucky place to an auspicious place. In addition, after you tidy up the house, it is still clean and tidy , and the place is so spacious, it naturally became the house everyone wanted.

There is a family in the village with six sons, but only five houses.Seeing that the sons are all grown up and getting married one after another, they will not be able to live with another child in the future.So their family discussed it, and then they found my father and wanted to take down your house.Their family has no cash, so they are willing to contribute work and materials to pave the road according to my father's requirements. "

Anyway, their family is strong and labor-intensive, with six sons, all of whom are strong and strong, and married three daughters-in-law, plus the old couple, there are about ten strong laborers.It takes one or two years of slack time to go up the mountain to dig some stones, and then pull a few carts of sand to pave the road.After discussing with the villagers, my father entrusted me to ask you to see if you are willing to give up that house. "

Zhang Hongwen's words sounded nice, but Du Jinning could hear Zhang Guangyi's efforts in them.

She smiled and asked: "What is the great future and soaring to the sky? You and your father preached it in the village, right? That house became an auspicious house, and it was also your handwriting, right? Uncle Zhang and you are dedicated to me, and I am so happy." How could she not know? Jin Ning thanked Uncle Zhang for this." After speaking, she stood up, folded her fists and bowed in the direction of Peach Blossom Village, making a deep bow.
