Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 176
Du Yunyi wanted to talk to change the topic, but he opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't know what to say.

We can no longer talk about academic topics, so what are we talking about?Ask Chen and the others, Du Jinning must say that their life is a hundred times better than when they were in Du's house; take care of Du Jinning's physical condition, but see how Du Jinning has grown taller after only half a month away from Du's house, His face is still rounded, and thinking about his life in Du's house before, this topic is definitely looking for abuse again; ask about Du Fangfei's marriage, think about the marriage that Mrs. Niu made for her in Meng's house before , this topic is definitely not pleasant.

So the room fell into an awkward silence.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Du Jinning stood up very calmly, and saluted Du Chensheng and Niu Shi: "It gets dark early in winter, so I have to go back first. Otherwise, it will be too late for Uncle Zheng to come back from the city. Don't bother him any more."

It would be embarrassing to stay any longer, and maybe the relationship would be frozen while talking, so it's better to keep the status quo and figure it out slowly.

Du Chensheng weighed the pros and cons, so he didn't try to keep Du Jinning. He just said politely: "Why don't you go back after dinner, and I'll ask your uncle to see you off. Zheng Lin won't say anything when he comes back with company."

"No, don't bother." Du Jinning cupped his hands, turned and walked out.

Du Chensheng didn't say anything anymore, turned his head to Du Yunyi and said, "Look, why did your wife take so long to prepare a gift in return." He took out a red envelope from his bosom and handed it to Du Jinning, "Grandfather is nothing. It's for you, you take this lucky money, I wish you success in your studies and everything goes well in the new year."

After spending so much money on gifts, at least some interest will be charged back.Du Jinning didn't refuse, took the red seal and thanked him.

Niu Shi, who had been warned by Du Chensheng not to speak nonsense, also handed over a red envelope at this time: "This is from your grandmother, grow up quickly."

"Thank you, grandma." Du Jinning accepted it unceremoniously.

The corners of Niu's mouth twitched in distress: Why didn't you know how to decline this damn child?Oh, the eyelids are too shallow, so open your eyes when you see money!

Carrying a basket of presents in return, Du Jinning came out from the second room of Du's house, and Du Jinning went to Du Yinsheng's house to get presents for Zhang's and Zheng's families, and then left.

Du Yinsheng reluctantly said, "How about I take you there?"

"No need for uncle and grandpa. It's Chinese New Year. You are an elder, so it's not good to go to other people's houses. I'll go there and sit." Du Jinning smiled, "You are always free, go to my house with uncle and grandma. Ah, my mother and the others are at home all day." Then he greeted Du Yunchang, "Fourth Uncle will go when he is free."

"Okay, okay." After Du Jinning's words, Du Yinsheng was also satisfied. He sent her outside the gate, watched her figure at the corner, and then turned around.

Needless to say, Du Jinning went to Zhang's family, and was warmly received by Zhang's family.

Not to mention that because of Du Jinning, Zhang Hongwen registered in front of the head of the mountain, just that Du Jinning opened a teahouse with Guan Jiaze and others, and he was willing to take Zhang Hongwen with him. It was not enough to bring Zhang Hongwen once, so he brought him a second time and a third time, and even lent money to him. The Zhang family is the great benefactor of the Zhang family.

Although the teahouse has not paid dividends yet, but looking at the long queue in front of the teahouse, one knows that the income should be considerable.These are the real benefits that Du Jinning brought to the Zhang family.

In addition, in the process of cooperation, Zhang Hongwen's friendship with Guan Jiaze, Qi Muyuan and other officials' children has become better and better. These are all connections, and they are invisible benefits. They will be of great help to the Zhang family at critical moments in the future.

So the Zhang family was very affectionate to Du Jinning, Zhang Guangyi also said: "I plan to bring Brother Wen to your house to celebrate the New Year tomorrow, who knew you would come today."

Du Jinning explained, and after sitting for a while, he offered to leave.

Zhang Guangyi couldn't keep him, so he had to send Du Jinning out with Zhang Hongwen.

Although she learned from Du Yunchang that Zhang Guangyi didn't tell the Zhang family about the teahouse, she still asked Zhang Guangyi: "When I was at my uncle's house just now, my fourth uncle said that the storytelling in the teahouse was good, but I didn't hear it." What did the fourth aunt say. Did you not tell them about your investment in the teahouse?"

Zhang Guangyi nodded: "That's right." He glanced at Du Jinning, "After all, your fourth aunt is already part of the Du family. Last time it was Brother Wen's careless words in the past that led to your grandfather and his wife being at the housewarming party." The second uncle followed, the big day was so unpleasant. So this time I simply told Brother Wen not to say anything about it. Even Brother Wen's mother didn't know about the stake in the teahouse, it was just us father and son know."

It is comfortable to work with smart people.Du Jinning was very satisfied with Zhang Guangyi's approach.

She raised her hand and gave Zhang Guangyi a deep bow: "Thank you, Uncle Zhang, for thinking of this for me."

"Hey, you child, what are you talking about, don't be too polite." Zhang Guangyi quickly helped her up, "You have helped our brother Wen a lot, and we haven't thanked you yet. A family does not say two talk."

The three of them walked to the bridge, Zhang Hongwen called Zheng Lin out from the door: "Send Brother Ning for me."

Du Jinning took out two catties of pork, a pack of dried tofu, and a pack of snacks, and handed them to Zheng Lin: "In the past, Uncle Zheng took care of me a lot. As one wishes."

Zheng Lin hurriedly declined, and under Zhang Guangyi's persuasion, he finally took the things away, and then praised Zhang Guangyi: "Brother Ning is sensible, and he has the most conscience. I just gave him away twice, and he Remember me like this."

"That's not true. Some people say that such a child has no conscience, alas." Zhang Guangyi pointedly said, "Zheng Lin, you drive here and there, and you know a lot of people. If someone criticizes Ning Brother, you have to say something fair for him."

When Du Jinning heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.

When she gave Zheng Lin a gift, she sincerely thanked Zheng Lin for helping her regardless of money when she was at her worst.

But being said by Zhang Guangyi, it seems that she sent gifts here to bribe Zheng Lin to speak well for her.

She hurriedly stopped Zhang Guangyi: "Uncle Zhang, don't say that." Then she said to Zheng Lin, "I'm not here anymore, I can't hear what everyone says, Uncle Zheng, don't talk nonsense to others because of these things." People say, who doesn't talk about people behind their backs'? Anyway, the world has its own opinions, and there is no need to be truthful with others."

Zhang Guangyi let out a "haha", patted Zheng Lin on the shoulder and said, "That's right, I was talking nonsense. It seems that Du's second son treats Brother Ning like this. This kid not only took generous gifts to visit the New Year, but also Don't speak ill of them, it can be seen that this child has a pure heart. Faced with such a child, Du Erer and the others will not say anything bad. After all, is Brother Ning worshiping the school's mountain chief as his teacher now? It's too late to curry favor Well, how could he say bad things? I was confused, and I made this child sincerely thank you for giving you a gift, as if trying to say something kind to you. Okay, the road is long and the sky is short, you send him back, be careful on the road .”
