Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 254 New Life

After a long time, she raised her head to dip in the ink, and seeing Mrs. Chen still standing there staring at her in a daze, she couldn't help laughing, and said helplessly, "Mother, there will always be a day when I won't be by your side. When something happens, you have to find a way to solve it yourself, and you can't rely on me for everything. Otherwise, what will you do if I'm not by your side? Are you also like those ignorant and incompetent women who only know how to wipe tears?"

"..."

What he said was full of enthusiasm and trust, as well as affirmation and encouragement, Chen's fighting spirit immediately became high.

She confidently said: "Success, I will solve it myself." As she said, she went out, but when she went out, she came back and asked Du Jinning, "You have to ask Mr. Yuan first to see his strawberry seedlings." Can it be passed on?"

Du Jinning nodded with a smile and said, "Okay." After hearing this, she knew what Mrs. Chen meant.

That's fine.The people in the Zhuangzi treated their family well, and it would be nice to distribute strawberry seedlings to others, at least they would not be envied.Yuan Xiuzhu was not stingy when he gave her strawberry seedlings back then, so they naturally couldn't be too stingy.Besides, the most important thing to grow this thing is technology. Their family can make money by growing this, but others may not.

"By the way, mother, you can just dig the ground and plant strawberries with the third sister, and the fourth sister stays at home, and I will ask her to help me with the flowers and plants." Du Jinning added another sentence before Chen's departure.

"Sure, no problem."

After practicing the two big characters, Du Jinning went out to find Du Fanghui.

Among the three older sisters, Du Fanghui was the quietest, but the smartest.The same is true for reading and handling flowers and trees. Probably this has something to do with her personality. She is extremely patient and meticulous in doing things, and she is also extremely serious in learning things.Compared with her, Du Fangling is more impetuous and can't calm down.

A person with a skill is better than a thousand hectares of fertile land.Du Jinning intends to let his sisters learn some skills as much as possible while he is still with them.As long as they are capable, they will be able to live a good life even without her "brother" as a support in the future.

Du Fangfei is very talented in embroidery, and is Xie's daughter-in-law, so her wealth does not flow to outsiders, so Xie paid extra attention when teaching her, and intentionally passed on her own skills to her.Therefore, before Du Fangfei got married, most of her mind was on embroidery, and she happened to use her dowry to practice.With her hand embroidery, the recipe for making dried tofu, and the fields and hills beside her, Du Jinning no longer has to worry about her life.

Now that there are two older sisters left, Du Jinning decided to pass on his skill of gardening to Du Fanghui, and let Du Fangling learn how to grow strawberries.Of course, this is not absolute. Planting is the same, and she will teach everything together, but the focus and requirements are different.

As soon as he got out, he saw Du Fanghui cutting the dead flowers of the flowers and trees in the yard.These flowers and trees were all obtained by Du Jinning from the yards of Yuan Xiuzhu and Qi Bokun, either cutting or sowing.The climate here is warm and humid, which is very suitable for the growth of flowers and trees. However, in one year, the yard that was originally bare and only had a vegetable field is now lush and full of flowers.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Du Fanghui turned around, smiled softly at Du Jinning, and asked, "Are you hungry? There are jujube paste rolls I just made in the kitchen, would you like one?"

Two years have passed, and Du Fanghui is no longer the skinny little girl who looked like a bean sprout.At the age of cardamom, she is still growing and has not developed yet, but her face is rosy, her eyes are bright and her teeth are bright.She was wearing a light green dress, Yuyu Tingting.Looking back, smiling frequently, like a girl walking out of an ink and wash painting, Du Jinning couldn't help but startled for a while with a bookish look on her body.

I remembered that at Du Fangfei's wedding, Du Fangling and Du Fanghui's reputation spread far and wide.With Du Fangfei's generous dowry, many people immediately moved their minds.In just a few days, several matchmakers have come to the house.Du Jinning felt mixed feelings in his heart, and his feelings were very complicated.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?" Seeing Du Jinning in a daze, Du Fanghui asked in doubt.

Du Jinning came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll eat now." He went to the kitchen, washed his hands, took a jujube paste roll, and walked out to watch Du Fanghui cut flowers while eating.

After she finished eating the jujube paste rolls in her hand and Du Fanghui finished cutting off the remaining flowers, Du Jinning began to instruct her to prune the roses.Some plants will lose their leaves in autumn. After the leaves fall, heavy pruning and light pruning should be carried out according to the species, so that many new branches will sprout in the next spring, and many flower buds will appear on the new branches.This kind of climbing rose is like this, only by pruning can it bloom like a brocade.

"By the way, remember to send those two pots of hydrangeas to Mr. Yuan and Grandpa Qi tomorrow." Du Jinning ordered again.

Looking at the two pots of blue hydrangea, Du Fanghui asked curiously: "Why do these two pots of flowers change color?"

This flower is a soil hydrangea moved from Qi Bokun's garden. It used to have pink and white flowers. I don't know how Du Jinning raised it. After two or three months of raising it, the color of the flower turned blue.Yuan Xiuzhu and Qi Bokun were very surprised when they saw it, and asked Du Jinning to give them these two pots.

"Remember that little porcelain bottle I gave you? It's called aluminum sulfate, and it can change the color of hydrangeas." Du Jinning said, "I'll be free tomorrow, and I'll teach you how to make aluminum sulfate. Then you can use your own The aluminum sulfate that came out adjusted the color of this flower, and after the blue flowers were planted, I asked Lu Xiaobei to help you sell them."

Now Du Jinning has a lot of resources in his hands, and he has already managed to get sulfuric acid.Aluminum sulfate can be produced by decomposing kaolin with sulfuric acid.She had told her family about the dangers of sulfuric acid and aluminum sulfate.

"That's great." Du Fanghui heard that she could also learn how to change the color of this flower, her eyes were as bright as stars.

In this way, after Du Fangfei got married, the family slowly adjusted their lifestyle in the unadapted, and gradually got used to the days when she was not at home. Apart from stewing dried beans and making tea, everyone had time for other times. Do what interests you.

When Du Fangfei got married, Du Jinning bought Du Fangfei [-] acres of land and half a hill as a dowry, and the Chen family added a lot of gold and silver jewelry to his daughter. The news spread to Du Chensheng and Niu Shier one month later. inner.

Immediately, Niu was so angry that he slapped the broom in his hand on the table: "That little beast really has stiff wings. Sister Fei didn't even invite us to be grandparents when they got married. There are people like this in the world." Reason? Give the loser so many fields, [-] acres, [-] acres! There is still half a hill, how much will it cost!"

That heartbroken look seemed like Du Jinning was spending her money.

The more she talked, the angrier she became, and she threw the broom: "No, I'll talk to him."

"Come back." Du Chensheng shouted.

Niu stopped, turned around and looked at Du Chensheng.
