Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 177 Disagree

Zhang Guangyi really deserved to be the head of the village. What he said was really good. He asked Zheng Lin to help publicize what he said. Du Jinning took the initiative to send a New Year greeting to Du Chensheng, probably because he was worried that others would criticize her.This made Du Jinning admire him.

Watching Du Jinning get into the car, Zhang Guangyi put the gifts in his and Zhang Hongwen's hands on the car, and asked, "We're going to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, are you at home?"

"At home." Du Jinning said.

Tomorrow is the day when a married woman returns to her natal home.But in Du Jinning's impression, Chen's parents are long gone, and there are only two elder brothers and sisters-in-law in the Chen family.My elder brother is fine, but my sister-in-law is pungent and ungrateful. In the past, I was always afraid that Mrs. Chen would bring her four children back to her mother's house to eat their food.

Mrs. Chen was a tough one, and she went back just two years before Du Yuncheng passed away.Later, seeing my sister-in-law like this, but my brother couldn't take care of things, he never went to Chen's house again.

Niu's ability to discuss Chen's mother and daughter without any scruples is also because there is no one in the Chen family.Otherwise, if Mrs. Chen had big-bodied elder brothers and younger brothers like Mrs. Niu, no matter how dissatisfied Du Chensheng and Mrs. Niu were with the third wife, they would not dare to abuse them like that.

Mrs. Chen didn't go back to her natal family before, and she probably won't go this year either.

Although the temperature in the south is not particularly low, the cold wind is still quite bearable.Along the way, Zheng Lin, who was sitting on the front shaft of the car, chatted with Du Jinning for a few words, but couldn't bear the cold wind and had to shut up.

When they arrived at the academy, Zheng Lin's mule cart didn't stop, and continued to deliver Du Jinning to the door of his house, and then he said goodbye and left.Before leaving, he desperately refused the fare that Du Jinning handed over. Du Jinning had no choice but to ask Mrs. Chen to take another bag of pastries and a few marinated eggs and stuff them secretly into his rear compartment before letting him go.

Seeing that Du Jinning was unscathed and brought back a bunch of presents, Mrs. Chen and her sisters felt relieved and asked her, "Why are there so many gifts in return?"

Du Jinning took out one by one: "This is from my uncle and grandpa. This is from my grandfather who asked my aunt to pack it up as a gift. This is from Zhang Lizheng. This is from Uncle Zheng." He took it out of his arms again. Several red envelopes.She has a good memory, and she remembers which red envelope was given by whom.

Du Yinsheng regarded Du Jinning as a normal nephew, so it was normal to return gifts. He gave a red envelope of fifty copper coins, and returned a bag of sugar rings and cakes made by Montessori.

As for the Du family's second room, Mrs. Zhang wanted to ease the relationship with Du Jinning, so the gift was heavier. Not only did they return a lot of homemade sausages and bacon, but there was also a processed chicken wrapped in lotus leaves—— This may be the chicken that the Du family's second room was going to stew at night, and Mrs. Zhang put it in.In addition, Du Chensheng and Niu Shi each sealed a coin, no wonder Niu Shi had a heartbroken expression at that time.

Because Zhang's family accepted Du Jinning's love, they returned the gift very heavily, similar to the Du family's second wife. Zhang Guangyi also gave Du Jinning a red seal of one penny.As for Zheng Lin, he returned twelve glutinous rice cakes.

Looking at the gift given by the second room of the Du family, the members of the Chen family all had complicated expressions.

In the past, they worked as cows and horses in Du's family, and their lives were worthless. To be able to give them a meal of white rice during the Chinese New Year was Du Chensheng and Niu's greatest charity to them.But now that Du Jinning was promising, Du Chensheng and the others flattered them in turn and gave them such a heavy gift.

Du Fangling and Du Fanghui looked at Du Jinning with admiration on their faces: "It's Brother Ning who is capable, that's why they treat us like this."

Chen Shi and Du Fangfei's mood is very complicated.There was only one thought in the two of them: If Ning Geer was really a brother, that would be great!
After dinner, Mrs. Chen followed Du Jinning into her room, and said to her, "Mr. Xie came here today, and what he said meant that he wanted to marry your elder sister. What do you think about this?"

Two days before the Chinese New Year, Xu Chengyuan once came to Du Jinning and brought half of the money he sold for the script - three hundred Wen, and handed it to Du Jinning, and said gratefully that without Du Jinning, he would not have been able to write Such a good script.In the future, if he sells the script, he will still send half of the proceeds.

Du Jinning didn't refuse at that time, and took the three hundred Wen directly. This incident even caused Du Fangfei to tell her a few words, saying that since she is a classmate, it is not good to collect money like this.

Through this incident, Chen felt that Xu Chengyuan was not bad.It's just that Du Jinning said that she needs to see more, so she didn't mention this marriage again.Unexpectedly, the Xu family was also interested in Du Fangfei, so they came to test her today.

Chen was naturally very happy.

"Have you asked Eldest Sister about this? Is she happy?" Du Jinning asked.

Although she still had the original opinion, she felt that there was no need to rush this matter.But looking at Du Fangfei's attitude now, she thinks it's better to ask first.If Du Fangfei didn't have that intention, there would be no need to think about this marriage, just reject the Xu family directly.

"Why wouldn't she be happy? Such a good marriage." Chen said nonchalantly.

"It's better to ask her. After all, this is a major event related to her life, and she has to be happy."

"That's fine, I'll go and ask her." Chen Shi said, turned and went out.

But not long after, she came back, still holding Du Fangfei in her hand, with an ugly expression on her face: "Your eldest sister said she is not happy. Brother Ning, how can you not be happy to persuade your eldest sister? It's so good A marriage, can we harm her?"

Then he asked Du Fangfei: "You are not happy with the Xu family, what kind of family do you want to find?"

Du Fangfei lowered his head and said nothing.

"You're talking." Chen said angrily.

"Mother, it's okay if the elder sister is not happy. This marriage has to be fate. If the fate is not there, it's naturally not right." Du Jinning persuaded.

"But the Xu family's marriage is really good, the population is simple, and your Aunt Xu is a sensible person. Xu Chengyuan is good-looking, and he is studying in an academy, and it will be a matter of time before he is admitted to a scholar. I heard from your Aunt Xu that in the academy My husband intends to let Xu Chengyuan go this year. If he is really admitted to the scholar, we will not be able to climb into his family. I don’t know how many people are willing to marry his family." Chen said.

Du Jinning looked at Du Fangfei: "Sister, what are you thinking? Anyway, my mother and I are not outsiders, tell us, so we know what's going on, don't we? You see, my mother is getting angry."

She was also curious, wondering if Du Fangfei had someone in mind.When I was in Peach Blossom Village, I didn’t hear her mention it; I moved to this village only half a month ago, and I followed Mrs. Chen in and out when I went to the fields to dig the ground and plant vegetables. No way out.Where did she go to meet strange men?
