Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 213 Punishment
Last night, in order to appease Mrs. Chen and make her realize the seriousness of the situation, Du Jinning disclosed the dispute between the Yanguan family, Qi Bokun's official position and his position in Lishui County.If Mrs. Chen wanted to speak harshly at this time, she had to pull out the tiger skin as a banner to scare Yan Cen.

Mrs. Song was at a loss when she heard this: "This...what does it have to do with Lord Qi and the Guan family? It's just a marriage proposal, if it's successful, if it's not successful, it won't be successful. What are you doing so far?"

"Then you go back and ask Yan Cen what he has done that is unconscionable, and then ask him how he lost his job in the academy. He pretended to be a gentleman from the academy and came out to cheat. I will send you to see the official now. You and that Yan Cen will both have to eat in prison." Chen shouted.

As the head of the academy, Dong Dacheng provided vegetables for the dining hall of the academy every day, and he also heard a little about what happened in the academy.As soon as he heard the information revealed by Chen's words, he felt that the situation was serious, and whispered to his wife: "You and Sister-in-law Du arrested this woman, and I will go to the academy and tell the head of the mountain." Running towards the academy, he didn't forget to call his eldest son to help on the way.

The more Mrs. Song heard it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She knew that Yan Cen was no longer a teacher in the academy, but Yan Cen said that the old man of the Yan family asked him to prepare for the exam at home and study hard for half a year. After the autumn, he will return to the academy to be a teacher.She didn't have any doubts.

But listening to Chen's words, it's not the same thing at all.

"I, I was entrusted by him to propose marriage. I don't know anything else." Mrs. Song was a little flustered, "Then let's forget about it, just pretend that I haven't been here before." After saying that, she wanted to leave.But he didn't want to be stopped by Aunt Dong directly.

"You... what are you doing?" She was trembling with fear.

"Don't be afraid, my family has gone to find Guan Shanzhang. If there is nothing wrong with you, I will not hold you accountable." Aunt Dong said, "You should go in and have a cup of tea. Shanzhang will be there later." Let’s make a decision.”

Mrs. Song really didn't expect Huanhuanxixi to come to her door to propose marriage, why did she end up in such a situation, she immediately hated Yan Cen in her heart.They wanted to stop her, but she couldn't leave even if she was an old woman, so she simply followed Mrs. Chen in and sat down to wait for news from the academy.

Fortunately, Zhuangzi was very close to the academy, and Dong Dacheng walked quickly, so he found Guan Lehe as soon as he arrived at the academy.

So he came back after just a cup of tea, and said to Mrs. Song: "Mr. Guan Shan has written a letter to the county lord, telling the matter about Yan Cen. He was resigned from the academy and came out in the name of Mr. Academy. There is a lack of virtue, so he won't want the title of this year's shanshansheng. The head of the mountain also told you and me to tell Yan Cen that if he reaches out to the Du family again, no matter what he does, the Guan family will definitely ruin his reputation. If the time comes, the Yan family will not protect him."

Seeing that she was not involved in this matter, Mrs. Song breathed a sigh of relief, and promised again and again: "I will definitely tell, I will tell."

"The head of the mountain said, when you are a matchmaker in the future, don't just be greedy for money, keep your eyes open, don't be fooled by others and don't even know."

"Yes, yes, I understand, I'm sorry, I really don't know that Yan Cen is such a dog that he lied to others. I will definitely find out later." Mrs. Song scolded Yan Cen for two times with the same hatred. In other words, seeing that Dong Dacheng was willing to let her go, he left the house in no time, and it was thanks to her that she ran so fast at her age.

Seeing that Mrs. Song had left, Dong Dacheng explained to Mrs. Chen: "The head of the mountain said that Yan Cen just asked someone to come to propose marriage. Although it was in the name of Mr. Academy, but when the time comes to confront him, he can completely say this." Push it to Mrs. Song. Everyone knows that the matchmaker's mouth is not trustworthy, and everything she says is exaggerated. If they are caught in the yamen, even if they argue face to face, Yan Cen can also shirk the guilt. The chief directly wrote a letter to the magistrate of the county to convict the crime. This will not affect your sister's reputation. Otherwise, if it is reported that you are unrelenting to the matchmaker, your reputation will not be good."

Mrs. Chen also knew that every line had its own rules, and it was perfectly normal for a matchmaker to exaggerate or even not match the truth.If she insists on holding on to this, all the matchmakers in Lishui County will fight against each other, talking around and ruining her family's reputation.Guan Lehe only punishes Yan Cen now, and does not hold Mrs. Song accountable. This is the most appropriate approach, and it is entirely for the good of the Du family.

She stood up gratefully and bowed in the direction of the academy: "Thank you Shanzhang for thinking about my family."

Seeing that Mrs. Chen is a sensible person, Dong Dacheng nodded slightly: "It's fine if you understand. If there's nothing else, we'll go back."

Mrs. Chen took some sugar cakes from Mrs. Xie and stuffed them into Aunt Dong's hand before sending them away.

After closing the courtyard door, Du Fangling asked, "Mother, what's going on?"

Mrs. Chen also didn't want to raise her daughters so stupidly that they didn't know anything, so she told the whole story and said: "No matter what happens in the future, you should pay more attention, don't just look at the surface, Some things are really not as simple as they seem on the surface."

The three sisters were all in despair.

I used to live in a small mountain village. Although Du Chensheng, Niu Shi and others oppressed and scolded me, everything was on the bright side.They really didn't expect that there are people in this world who are so insidious.

"Okay, Sister Ling and Sister Hui bring the soymilk in and cook it, Sister Fei, come here, I'll tell you something." Chen Shi said and walked to her bedroom.

Du Fangfei guessed that it was about her own marriage, and followed her with her head down.

Du Fangling hesitated for a moment, and wanted to go over to eavesdrop, but Du Fanghui forcibly grabbed her arm.

"You don't want to know about Eldest Sister's marriage?" Du Fangling turned to stare at Du Fanghui.

"We'll know when the marriage is settled. If you stop working, you won't be able to make tofu by noon." Du Fanghui said.

Du Fangling had no choice but to stamp her feet, and carried a large bucket of soy milk into the kitchen with Du Fanghui, and got busy.

In the bedroom, Mrs. Chen went to the bed and sat down, and didn't ask Du Fangfei to sit down, and said directly: "I discussed with Brother Ning last night, and I plan to book your marriage when your Aunt Xu comes over in the afternoon. "

Du Fangfei was startled, and raised her head to look at Chen Shi: "Mother, don't. Didn't you say you'd wait for me for a year?"

"Wait a little longer, something will happen. Look at how dangerous it is today. If Mrs. Yang didn't come over to remind you, your younger brother would have been alert and had guessed what was going on in advance. Maybe we would have fallen into the trap." Mrs. Chen Hate said.

Du Fangfei moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he opened his lips for a long time, and then closed them again.After being silent for a long time, she finally said: "Mother, can the Yan family really compete with the Guan family?"

　Apart from Mrs. Chen, Du Fangfei was the only one who knew the identity of Du Jinning's woman.The younger sister shoulders the responsibility of the ten-year-old family. As the eldest sister, Du Fangfei cannot marry Xu Chengyuan with peace of mind. She wants to help the heroine.But she grew up in a small mountain village and had little knowledge, so her thinking would be naive.Of course, this naive idea will eventually be wiped out by Chen Shi and Du Jinning.The next chapter is to write this, don’t enter if you don’t like it
