Chapter 14 Getting the Four Treasures of the Study
Du Jinning knew that this was the most important and critical issue.If the answer is not good, not only Du Chensheng, but also Du Yinsheng will not be able to treat him well in the future.

He thought for a while and replied: "There is resentment, but there is no hatred. I am a grandson, how can I hate my grandfather? Without him, where would I come from? There are all parents in the world. If the elders treat you badly, it must be You didn’t do a good job yourself. I have had such doubts before, thinking that we did something wrong to offend our grandparents. I just asked my mother, but my mother never said. Today I know the answer, but it turns out It was my grandfather who felt that I killed my father, and that’s what happened to us. I can understand the pain of losing a child for a white-haired person, so the resentment is gone. I just feel that fate is unfair to us. That's all. My grandfather didn't want such a thing to happen."

Du Yinsheng was stunned, and looked at Du Jinning with surprise, surprise, and even excitement.

He beckoned Du Jinning to come over, held his hand, and asked with a trembling voice: "Did you come up with this by yourself?"

Du Jinning looked at him in confusion and nodded.

Du Yin let out a deep breath, raised his head and said, "God has eyes." As he said, he blinked, his eyes were a little moist.

Du Fangfei watched inexplicably, not knowing why his uncle lost his composure.

Du Jinning was very clear about Du Yinsheng's psychology.

She did it on purpose.She had to show an extraordinary talent in front of Du Yinsheng, otherwise, how could he make up his mind to help her?
Sure enough, next, Du Yinsheng gave her a promise: "Brother Ning, don't worry, your eldest sister's marriage will be handled by your uncle and grandfather for you, and the marriage will definitely be annulled."

Hearing this, Du Jinning felt relieved.Seeing Du Yinsheng slap Du Chensheng today, but Du Chensheng didn't dare to say anything serious, she knew that Du Yinsheng could hold Du Chensheng down.Now that Du Yinsheng said so, it would be no problem to think about it.

She bowed again: "Since that's the case, we won't bother my uncle."

"It's getting dark, be careful on the road." Du Yinsheng reminded.

Du Jinning supported Du Fangfei's hand and walked to the door, as if thinking of something, he asked Du Yinsheng, "Uncle, can I quietly listen to the class outside your school window?"

Looking at Du Jinning's clear and expectant eyes, Du Yinsheng nodded, paused and called her again: "Wait a minute." Then, he took a stack of papers from the desk next to him, and He took two brushes, some ink sticks, and an inkstone, wrapped them in a piece of cloth and handed them to Du Jinning, telling him, "Hide them secretly, and don't let your grandfather see them."

This time Du Du Jinning was pleasantly surprised.If you want to return to your old business and earn your first pot of gold as a writer, it is impossible without the Four Treasures of the Study.But without money, she couldn't buy the Four Treasures of the Study, so she entered an endless loop.She misses reading because she wants to solve this problem.Unexpectedly, the promise of studying was not obtained, but the four treasures of the study were inadvertently obtained.

She bowed and thanked Du Yinsheng sincerely: "Thank you, uncle and grandfather."

"Okay, let's go." Du Yinsheng waved his hand, watched the two siblings slowly leave the gate, then sighed, went out, first asked his wife to take the grandchildren to rest, this time Then he said to Mengshi and Du Yunchang: "You come in, I have something to say."

After Mengshi and Du Yunchang sat down in the room, he told about how he used "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" to test Du Jinning that day, and said: "Brother Ning not only has a photographic memory, but also I watched him. He is very methodical and decisive in his actions. He is very calm at a young age, and he is a person who does great things. The most rare thing is that he has a solid heart, not the kind of narrow-minded people who will repay their shame."

Having said that, he looked at his wife and son, and said slowly: "Our house is not very populated. I want to adopt Brother Ning and raise him well. What do you think?"

Du Yunchang showed joy, and was about to speak, when his mother said decisively from the side: "No." He turned his head to look at his mother, and closed his mouth wisely.

Du Yinsheng saw the expressions of the two, frowned slightly, and asked Mengshi, "Why not?"

"He has the name of restraining his father, no matter whether it is true or not, we are only a single seedling in Yunchang, you dare to risk your son?" Meng said.

Du Yinsheng's expression changed, and his brows frowned immediately.

He really didn't expect this.

Du Jinning is ten years old this year, and he was adopted, usually under Du Yunchang's knee.He had three sons with Meng Shi, and he was the only one to support this one. Moreover, Du Yunchang's health has never been very good. If Du Jinning really restrained his father, wouldn't he have harmed his own son?

Although he is optimistic about Du Jinning's qualifications, it is still far from his son's life.

Seeing that the master shook his head and sighed, obviously rejecting his original plan, Du Yunchang hurriedly said: "The third sister-in-law also said that Brother Ning was born after the death of the third brother. Father Ke's statement is completely wrong..."

Before he finished speaking, Montessori interrupted him excitedly: "Whether he is Kefu or not, we can't risk your life." Seeing that her son still wanted to convince herself, she said, "Besides, then There are several mothers and daughters in the third house, but they are all counting on Brother Ning to establish a family, how can he adopt him? You are taking it for granted."

Du Yunchang was also speechless.

"Oh, that's a pity." Du Yinsheng sighed.

At the beginning, Du Jinning showed his photographic memory, but he just wanted him to study and glorify the Du family, and he didn't think about adopting him.But the thought and character shown by Du Jinning just now deeply moved him. He likes and is optimistic about the child's future from the bottom of his heart, so he plans to take him into his own family.But now... alas.

Seeing his father like this, Du Yunchang rolled his eyes and said, "Father, I have a good idea."

"What idea?" Du Yinsheng asked expectantly.

"If you adopt Yuncheng, won't Brother Ning become your own grandson? In this way, the third sister-in-law will also become your daughter-in-law, and naturally several nieces will come along with you. To be able to leave that family, I guess they are still looking forward to it, how could they not agree to the adoption? Besides, you have been angry that you married Miss Fei to a fool, and ruined the reputation of the Du family? Miss Fei has become your own granddaughter, and there is still How can you make a fuss about her marriage? It's justified to retire."

Du Yinsheng's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, but when he suddenly thought of something, his eyes suddenly dimmed.

He shook his head: "Impossible. Your uncle regards Yuncheng more than anything else, otherwise, after all these years, he would not have angered Brother Ning like this. Even if Yuncheng is gone, he will definitely not treat this son Adopted to me."

Du Yunchang fell silent.

My cousin Du Yuncheng is a man of outstanding aptitude. Since he entered a private school, he has been constantly praised by his husband.When the senior Xuezheng from the province visited the county school, he tested his homework and said: "In the future, he will become a great talent." This is because his teacher deliberately suppressed him for three years because he was afraid that he would become a talent too early and would be prone to pride, otherwise he would only have achieved the fame of scholar sooner.This is already very outstanding in Guangxi Province, where the style of writing is not prosperous.

Du Yuncheng not only has good qualifications, but also has outstanding looks. Although he comes from a peasant family, he is a young man who is Pian Pianjia.Du Chensheng has always been very proud of such a son. Who would have thought that he would be so short-lived. Hearing that his wife had given birth, when he hurried back to the village from the county at night, he overturned his car and died in a ditch?
Du Chensheng's attitude towards Sanfang's family over there these years, is it not because the pain of losing a child is too deep to get out of the grief?

He sighed and stood up: "I'm going back to my room."

Looking at his son's listless back, Du Yinsheng also let out a long sigh.

His son is weak, and his aptitude is not very good. He has to memorize an article twenty times before he can remember it. However, he has to bear the burden of supporting the Du family. The pressure on him is really not small, so he urgently wants to He wanted to adopt Du Jinning so that he could divert his father's attention.

Mengshi also felt her son's depression, she couldn't bear to turn her head to look at Du Yinsheng: "Our Yunchang has already passed the examination of scholar, why don't we force him to study? Sitting in a school as a gentleman is enough for him Eat it."

Du Yinsheng narrowed his eyes, but did not speak.

Mengshi didn't dare to talk anymore, he went out of the house to check the door again, seeing that the locks were locked everywhere, and the chickens and ducks had also entered the pen, so he went back to the house in peace and didn't mention it.

Besides, Du Jinning and Du Fangfei were still worried when they went back, for fear that Mrs. Niu would be guarding the yard with a stick.This kind of thing often happened in the past, once the members of the third house were disobedient, or Niu was upset, she would beat everyone with a stick. For the same reason a mouse sees a cat.Today, Du Jinning and Du Fangfei didn't listen to Niu Shi, and even dared to go to Dafang for help. It was normal for Niu Shi to treat them like this.

But unexpectedly, when they returned to the courtyard, Mrs. Niu had already gone back to the house, and there was no one in the courtyard.

"Quick, let's go quickly." Du Fangfei, who was looking at the situation with her head, retracted, pulled Du Jinning and ran to the cowshed.

After entering the door, the two saw sisters Chen and Du Fangling packing up their things.

"Mother, this, this is..." Du Fangfei was a little dumbfounded.She didn't see Mrs. Niu in the yard just now, and she was worried that Mrs. Niu would come to trouble Mrs. Chen and her two younger sisters, but nothing happened. Du Fangling was still talking to Du Fanghui with a smile on her face. The atmosphere is very good.

"Are you back?" Mrs. Chen straightened up and asked Du Fangfei eagerly, "What did your uncle say?"

"Uncle said that he will deal with this matter, and told us not to worry, he will come to talk to grandfather tomorrow."

"Amituofu, that's good, that's good." Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.

"Sister, really?" Du Fangling ran over in surprise, and grabbed Du Fangfei's hand, "Uncle really said that? Then your marriage appointment can be withdrawn?"

Du Fangfei nodded: "Probably. My uncle told Brother Ning, and he will definitely handle this matter."

"Ah, that's great." Du Fangling jumped up and almost hit the short beam.

Du Fanghui ran over, touched Du Jinning's hand, and asked her, "Is it cold? Are you hungry? Mother made the porridge, and Fourth Sister brought it for you?"

Du Jinning felt warm in his heart, and was about to speak, when he heard footsteps behind him, and a cold voice came from outside: "Have you packed your things? Move them quickly after packing, don't be foolish and still tossing around."
