Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 248

The lady Wang who was at the opposite door learned that Du Yunnian had been arrested and would be exiled at that time, so she was quite gleeful these days.Hearing the rumble of the mule cart, she went out to look around, and saw Mrs. Zhang helping a beautiful woman in a lotus-colored dress get off the cart.

At first she couldn't recognize who it was, but when she saw Du Jinning, she suddenly realized, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask Chen, "But Brother Cheng's daughter-in-law?"

Seeing her, Mrs. Chen quickly let go of Mrs. Zhang's holding hand, and went forward to greet Mrs. Wang: "Grandma Wang, are you old and healthy?"

"I still can't die." Mrs. Wang looked Chen Shi up and down, and smiled, "Oh, I don't even recognize you. If I didn't see Brother Ning, I couldn't believe that you are Brother Cheng's daughter-in-law." To Du Jinning, "Taller, fatter, and more beautiful, like a little lady."

Du Jinning's head was full of black lines.

If she wasn't a real little lady, Mrs. Wang's words really hurt her heart.

She bowed her hands to say hello to Mrs. Wang, and took a piece of pork weighing two catties from the basket, and stuffed it into Mrs. Wang's hand: "I'll give you an extra dish."

"Oh, what's wrong with this? Save it for yourselves." Mrs. Wang hastily declined.

Because Niu's second son was arrested, he spent a few taels of silver and had nowhere to ask for help. He was so anxious that he lay down on the bed after returning from the county government yesterday, yelling that his heart hurts.

Just now when she heard the sound of mules and carts, she thought it was Du Yunyi who had brought back some news, so she got up and went out to take a look, just in time to see Du Jinning giving a big piece of pork to her deadly enemy.

She couldn't help being furious, and shouted: "Brother Ning, what are you doing? You don't know how to honor the elderly when you buy things, but why are you giving them away for face? Why don't you hurry up and get them back."

Mrs. Wang was afraid that Du Jinning would be punished by Niu Shi, so she refused desperately.

Du Jinning paid no heed to Niu's roar, and said to Mrs. Wang: "If it weren't for a pancake that your old man stuffed from time to time, I don't know if I would survive now. For saving my life, what is a piece of pork? I will be prosperous in the future. , there will be a great gift to thank you. You old man must take care of your health and live well, and I will come back to see you after I pass the Jinshi examination."

Seeing that Niu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Mrs. Wang felt as if she drank snow water in June, feeling indescribably happy.

She didn't refuse anymore, and took the piece of pork: "Then I would like to thank Brother Ning for your kindness. I am waiting for your great gift in the future."

As she said that, she glanced at Niu again, and said meaningfully: "So, people should do more good deeds and less evil deeds. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that the time has not come. I live It took a long time, and finally saw that someone was punished."

This means that Du Yunnian deserved what he deserved, and it also means that Du Chensheng and Niu shi led Du Yunnian to this point.

After hearing this, Mrs. Niu's eyes turned black with anger, and she was having a big fight with Mrs. Wang, when Du Yunyi and Mrs. Zhang pulled her straight into the yard: "Mother, let's go into the house and talk."

Niu wanted to tell Du Jinning to go away and not enter her house.But then he thought that there might be some way for Du Jinning to rescue Du Yunnian, hope was born in his heart, even the headache seemed to be much better, he suppressed his anger and did not make a sound, and Du Yunyi and his wife took advantage of the opportunity to help him into the door.

"I'm not going to the bedroom, I'm going to sit in the hall." Seeing that the two were about to help her into the bedroom, she quickly said, "I've been lying all day, and my bones hurt."

Du Yunyi knew that the old lady was worried about her second son, and if she wanted to listen to them, she naturally did whatever she wanted.But he didn't help her to the hall, but into the room where Du Chensheng used to teach his grandson.

Although the room was a living room, sometimes Du Chensheng would take a lunch break there, and there was a bamboo bed where Niu could lie down or sit.It was also convenient for them to talk in that room.

It wasn't until then that Du Chensheng came out of the hall with a sullen face, and looked at Du Jinning and Mrs. Chen who walked into the courtyard after saying goodbye to Mrs. Wang.

Du Jinning stopped in his tracks and called out, "Grandfather." His tone was flat, and his face was expressionless, as if greeting a stranger.

On the contrary, Chen Shi became nervous the moment Du Chensheng looked over, and his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists.

This is a kind of fear formed in front of Du Chensheng and Niu Shi after years of disgust.

After Du Yunnian's accident, Du Chensheng always wanted to go to Du Jinning and ask him to ask Guan Shanzhang for help, but was finally stopped by Du Yunyi and Mrs. Zhang's persuasion.So seeing Du Jinning coming back on his own initiative, he was very happy. He forced a smile out of his gloomy face, and said softly, "You're back? Come in when you're back."

With that said, he took the lead into the living room.

Du Jinning and Chen Shi also followed in.

At this time, Mrs. Niu was already lying on the bed under the service of Mrs. Du Yunyi and Mrs. Zhang, and was moaning "Ouch".

As Chen's daughter-in-law, seeing her mother-in-law like this, she couldn't pretend she didn't see it, so she hesitated for a moment, and went up to check on Niu's condition.

"Oh, oh... I don't have a good life for a few days, and the doctor is calling for the funeral." Niu said, dying, with a sad face.

Mrs. Chen has been married for more than ten years, Mrs. Niu has always been tough and full of spirits. She is very energetic when beating and scolding people. I have never seen her look so haggard and pitiful.She couldn't help but froze in front of the bed.

Mrs. Zhang twitched the corners of her mouth.

For the sake of her beloved second son, the old woman really went all out, even resorted to the trick of cursing herself to death, she really did everything she could.

Before coming, Du Jinning had told Chen Shi that she should only talk a lot when she arrived at Du's house, and even if she wanted to talk, she would say something unnutritious, and she would handle the rest.

At this moment, Mrs. Chen also came to her senses very quickly, and comforted Mrs. Niu pretending to be confused: "Mother, you think too much, this is not a serious illness, you just need to take care of it."

"I can't raise it anymore." Mrs. Niu is not a rich and patient person. She was not very comfortable at first, and now she was even more impatient and went around in circles. She grabbed Chen's hand and went straight to the point, "Brother Cheng, daughter-in-law." , Yunnian is Yuncheng's brother, a real brother. He is in trouble now, you have to help him." As he spoke, tears flowed down his face.

Being held by Niu's cold hands, Chen's hairs stood on end due to the long-standing fear.

Mrs. Zhang quickly rescued Mrs. Chen, helped Mrs. Niu and said, "Mother, lie down quickly." As he spoke, he rescued Mrs. Chen's hand from Mrs. Niu's palm, and tucked Mrs. Niu up with concern Quilt.

Over there, Du Jinning promptly called Mrs. Chen: "Mother, come and sit down."
