Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 162
Guan Jiaze looked carefully, thought for a while, and shook his head.

Du Jinning was speechless, and was about to speak when he heard a timid voice outside the courtyard door: "Excuse me, is this the Du family?"

Du Jinning turned her head and saw Zhang Shi, her eyes immediately sank.

Guan Jiayu was always locked up in the house by her mother, except for those relatives in the clan, she rarely saw outsiders.At this time, she saw a woman wearing a long satin coat standing at the door. She blinked her big eyes and asked Du Jinning curiously, "Brother Du, who is this? Your relative?"

At this time, Mrs. Chen had already heard the sound and came out. When she saw Mrs. Zhang, her expression was not very good.She really didn't want to have anything to do with the people in the old house.

Hearing Guan Jiayu's question, she had no choice but to suppress the resistance in her heart, and greeted Zhang Shi: "Sister-in-law, are you here? Please sit in the room."

The reason why Mrs. Zhang came here with the carriage was because she was thinking that it was a holiday now, and the young master of the Guan family was coming this way, presumably he was going to the academy, but he must be visiting the Du family.And in front of the young master of the Guan family, Du Jinning and Mrs. Chen wouldn't drive her, the eldest aunt, out, would they?Take this opportunity to ease the relationship, so that you can move around in the future.

That's why she came here with a thick skin.

Seeing that Mrs. Chen was really as she expected, it was hard to lose face, she felt relieved, and immediately smiled and said: "It's not going to be Chinese New Year, I think you've moved out, and I don't know how you are doing, so prepare the New Year's goods It’s gone, so come and have a look.”

As she spoke, she turned to Du Jinning and smiled, "Brother Ning, how are you now?" It was as if she had just discovered Guan Jiaze's brother and sister, "Oh, do you have any guests today? It's not a coincidence that I came." She hesitated for a moment, "How about I come back next time?"

Even if she knew what Mrs. Zhang was up to, Mrs. Chen couldn't just let her go back like this.Otherwise, how would the two brothers and sisters of the Guan family treat their Du family?If they are living well now and don't recognize their relatives anymore, wouldn't Du Jinning's impression in front of the head of the mountain be greatly reduced?

Besides, if Mrs. Zhang really wants to come forward shamelessly, what's the difference between coming today and tomorrow?
You have to find a chance to say what you have to say.

She smiled and said: "It's okay, this is Ning Ge'er's classmate, they came to play during the holiday, they just need Ning Ge'er to accompany them. Sister-in-law, come in and sit down."

Mrs. Zhang guessed that Mrs. Chen would have such an attitude.

She followed Mrs. Chen into the door, and saw the tea and dried tofu on the table. She paused and said with a smile, "There was one outside the door just now. It should be the young master of the Guan family, right? Brother Cheng and I I met him once on the street, and Brother Cheng told me that he is the young master of the Guan family."

"Yes." Mrs. Chen moved the two cups of tea to the side, and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Zhang, feeling in her heart that this sister-in-law is really different.

If it was Mrs. Yao who came here today, seeing the tea and food on the table, he would definitely say eccentrically that their mistress just moved here not long ago, and their life is so good. Could it be that they have hidden their private money before?
Mrs. Zhang is very shrewd, and she may not be a good person, she is very good at calculating, but she never breaks face with others easily.Let’s just say that she used to be at Du’s house. She went back to the old house every New Year’s Eve, and even to her juniors, she never yelled and showed her face. She just didn’t pay much attention to people. , even the Yao family of the second bedroom is the same.

So, it's really hard for her to turn her face away and reject Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang took the teacup, thanked her, looked around at the decoration of the house, and said to Mrs. Chen with a smile: "You are finally at the top of your game now. Brother Ning is capable. He can take you to separate the family and leave Taohua Village. Moving out will allow you to live a better life in the future. Siblings and sisters, your luck lies ahead."

Everyone loves to hear these words, and Mrs. Chen is no exception.

She smiled and said, "Accept the auspicious words of sister-in-law."

The brothers and sister Guan Jiaze were still outside the door, Chen really didn't want to play Tai Chi with Zhang.

She simply got to the point: "Sister-in-law is here today because she wants to..."

"Oh, that's right. First, let me see how you are doing and see if there is anything I can help you with. Second, when we separated, didn't we say we wanted to change to a bigger house? After all, Brother Cheng We are going to get married, and the house is too narrow to live in. No, I have been looking for a house for a while, and I finally found a place. I just go in the Putuo Temple in the east of the city. There is an alley called Wicker Alley. You can find out when you go in. .I'll come over and talk to you."

She said with a smile: "I also know that you don't want to see people in the old house and our small big house, I can understand. But as the saying goes, breaking the bones and connecting the tendons, Brother Ning and our family Brother Cheng and Brother De are cousins ​​at any rate, and they are both in this city. If something happens, we can help each other out. Of course, if you don’t want to, we won’t have the cheek to come along. Come here to show your attitude, and tell you our home address by the way. If there is anything, you can also find us. "

She stood up and said with a smile: "Your family has guests, so I won't stay any longer. After the new year, I'll ask Brother Cheng and Brother De to come over to give you New Year's greetings." She waved her hands and walked out quickly. Door.

When she walked into the yard, she wanted to say hello to Du Jinning, but she didn't see anyone, so she gave up and left with an empty basket.

Standing at the door of the main room, Mrs. Chen watched Mrs. Zhang's disappearing figure, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Du Fangling was the most nosy of the three sisters. Although she was busy making tofu in the kitchen, she noticed the arrival of the brothers and sisters of the Guan family and the Zhang family.

At this moment, seeing Mrs. Zhang left and the brothers of the Guan family also went out to play under the leadership of Du Jinning, she stood up and was about to ask Mrs. Chen when she saw her mother walking towards her.

She hurriedly asked: "Mother, what is the eldest aunt doing here?"

"Come and tell us that she has moved, in Wicker Lane near Putuo Temple. Said that if we need anything, we can go to them."

"What does this mean? Could it be that now that Brother Ning is promising and our lives are getting better, he came here to curry favor? Mom, don't be fooled by them." Du Fangling said angrily.

On the contrary, Du Fangfei frowned slightly, looked at Chen and said, "Mother, don't tell me we won't associate with them anymore?"

Mrs. Chen sat down, took the stone mill from Du Fangfei's hand, shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Let your younger brother make the decision on this matter."

Du Fangfei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but looking at Du Fangling and Du Fanghui, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

"No matter what, I don't want to associate with them anymore." Du Fangling pouted.
