Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 172 Reaction
Du Jinning entered the main room, put down the basket in his hand, and bowed to Du Jinning and Mengshi: "Jinning wishes New Year to Uncle and Aunt. Turning around, he bowed to Du Yunchang and Zhang Shi, and also said auspicious words.

"Okay, okay, just come back." Du Yinsheng hurried over to help her up, looked him up and down, with a gratified smile on his face, "I've grown taller."

Have you grown taller?Du Jinning looked down at himself.

She didn't feel it herself, Chen Shi and the others saw each other every day, so naturally they couldn't feel it either.

"Uncle, are you in good health?" Du Jinning exchanged greetings with Du Yinsheng, then took out a gift and said, "I went to the Shan Chang's house this morning to pay New Year's greetings, but I'm late."

Hearing this, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Zhang's mouth.

However, Du Jinning's next sentence made her ridicule freeze on her face, and her expression turned into a big surprise.

"I learned from Zhang Hongwen that my fourth uncle hadn't found a suitable private partner for a while, so I asked the head of the mountain some time ago, and he told me that Wang Yuanwai in the city wanted to find a mentor for his six-year-old son, and he was willing He was hired with five taels of silver per month. Because his son was weak, he only studied for two hours a day. Wang Yuan’s house was not far from the academy, and the fourth uncle could come back after school every day instead of staying at Wang’s house. Sit in the hall."

"Really?" Du Yinsheng and his family were very happy.

Since Du Jinning's family moved out, Du Yinsheng became a little disheartened. He gave up the idea of ​​letting his children and grandchildren honor their ancestors and return to the original clan. He no longer forced his son to continue taking the Juren examination, and planned to let him find a private school to be a teacher.In this way, the father and son can work together to make up for the shortfall in the family business that has been left behind by Du Yunchang's education over the years.

But Du Yunchang passed the examination of scholar at the end of the examination, and he had never been a teacher before, and he had no experience in teaching students, and each private school in the city had its own fixed teacher, or father and son, or teachers and students taught together , there is no need to hire strangers.If you want to be a tutor, people like Du Yunchang are not willing to hire people who are more particular; those who are willing to hire are not satisfied in one way or another. The family has a bad reputation.Du Yunchang was originally in poor health, Du Yinsheng and Meng Shi couldn't bear him being too tired, and they were also worried that he would live in other people's homes for a long time, so this matter was never settled, and this matter has never been settled.

Du Jinning was studying in Guan Lehe during this time, knowing that from time to time someone would bring their children to visit Guan Lehe.Although the academy does not accept enlightenment children, if their children can get Guan Le and praise for being smart, or recommend a teacher, these people will be very satisfied.

Of course, these people would normally be turned away by Arbor at the gate, but the post was sent in.Ordinary people, Guan Lehe, would ignore them, but he had to see some people with status and status who were not to be underestimated; even if he didn't see them, he would reply to a post.After Du Jinning has made some success in practicing calligraphy in the near future, he has responded to many posts like this for Guan Lehe.

After learning about Du Yunchang from Zhang Hongwen, Du Jinning began to leave relevant information in these posts to choose suitable people.Of course, she didn't do this behind Guan Lehe's back, but told Guan Lehe that she wanted to help her fourth uncle find a family to sit in the restaurant.

Guan Lehe is a traditional thinker. Although Du Chensheng was taken away on the day of the housewarming, he was very happy that Du Jinning could remember his uncle's kindness, and he was very enthusiastic to help with the selection. Finally, he recommended Wang Yuanwai's family to Du Jinning. .

Five taels of silver a month for Shu Xiu is not too little, and it was recommended by Guan Lehe. The host will not disrespect Mr. Guan Lehe for his sake.Not only Du Yinsheng and Du Yunchang, but also Mengshi and Zhangshi were very interested in such a private school, so they gathered around Du Jinning to ask for details.

Du Jinning told Guan Le and Xiang Xiang and the news he had inquired one by one, and said: "I asked someone to ask Wang Yuanwai, and Wang Yuanwai said that the fourth uncle should come over on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, so we can meet each other. If the fourth uncle thinks it is suitable, he can keep the professor; if it is not suitable, he can also decline, and I will help to keep an eye on the other family when the time comes."

"Okay, okay, thank you for remembering your fourth uncle." Du Yinsheng said with emotion.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly poured a cup of ginger tea and handed it to Du Jinning: "It's cold all the way, isn't it? Hurry up and drink some ginger tea to keep you warm." He brought out candy and melon seeds to entertain Du Jinning.

It was fun here, and on Du Chensheng's side, Yao Shi, who was sent by Niu Shi to keep an eye on the door, heard her voice when Du Jinning entered the door, and hurried into the main room to report to Du Chensheng. Du Chensheng's face turned black all of a sudden.

Yao shi has had a very difficult life since the third house was separated from the family.In the past, she only needed to cook two or three meals a day and do the laundry for the whole family.Nowadays, not only do these things, but also take care of the vegetable garden, go up the mountain to pick pigweed, feed pigs, chickens and cows. Seeing that the firewood that Chen and Du Fangfei cut were almost exhausted a few years ago, she still has to go up the mountain Going to chop wood, spinning like a spinning top all day long.In just over half a month, she lost a lot of weight.

In addition to doing things, she also had to bear the anger of Niu Shi that the mother and daughter of the third house had suffered before.

In the past, Mrs. Niu beat and scolded the members of Xiaosanfang when he felt unsatisfactory, but now that those people are gone, the family is still torn apart. Seeing that Xiaosanfang has left them to live a good life, even parents-in-law and grandparents are not Admittedly, Niu couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, scolding Yao bloody every day.

Yao shi couldn't even imagine that Niu shi would let her plow the fields when it was time to start farming in spring. If that was the case, she felt that she would not be able to survive.

Therefore, in the second room of the Du family, the one who remembers and resents the third room the most is Yao.

At this time, seeing Du Jinning came back to pay New Year's greetings, she even ignored her grandparents and went to the big house to pay New Year's greetings. She knew that Du Chensheng and Niu's family should be on fire at this time, but she couldn't help but provocatively said: "For the New Year's Eve, pass by my grandfather and relatives." Grandma didn't even enter the house, and went to his uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings. This Brother Ning really has no conscience. What's the use of such a person, no matter how good he is at school? When the time comes to accuse him of disobedience, he still wants to get a job? Dreaming?"

Although the family was separated, Du Yunyi's family naturally had to come back for the New Year.At this time, the family was sitting in the main room warming up with Du Chensheng and others and eating.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang glanced at Mrs. Yao with disgust, and said, "Brother Ning has very close contacts with the young masters of the Guan family and the young masters of the Qi family. Even if you sue him for rebellion, with the help of the Guan family and the Qi family , he can still live a good life. But what benefits can we get? The bad guy's future is like murdering his parents, and he forges grudges for no reason. Why do you want to? We have to make troubles to ruin our family to be reconciled to it?"

　The insomnia was very serious, I didn't fall asleep for two nights, and I was in a very bad state of dizziness.I didn’t know what to write when I wrote this chapter code, I changed it over and over again, and I didn’t post until this time, sorry.
