Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 430

When he reached the threshold, he stopped again, turned his head and warned Du Chensheng: "I can tell you, he is a junior Sanyuan now, he will be a Juren in two years, and a Jinshi in a few years. His future is boundless. If you dare to If you talk nonsense outside and ruin his reputation, I will never forgive you. If you are in a hurry, I will die with you, drag you to the front of the underground father, and let him teach you severely. "

As he said that, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

But Du Chensheng didn't move, he sat there with an uncertain face, after a long while, he seemed to have made up his mind, walked out from the room, found Niu Shi who was sitting in the next room, and said: "Let's go, go back."

Seeing that the old man's face was uglier than ever, Mrs. Niu hurriedly followed him out, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Du Chensheng looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then told Niu what Du Jinning said just now.

When Niu heard this, he immediately exploded.

She has been sitting in the third room these two days. Although she is sitting at the top of the table, none of the Zhuangzi and the familiar people know the relationship between the old couple and the third room?As a result, the women who came and went flattered Mrs. Chen, but they were lukewarm to her. At most, they would say a few perfunctory words before turning around and talking to Mrs. Chen affectionately.So she is not having a good time these days.But thinking about what the eldest daughter-in-law said to her, and Du Jinning having to take her over to enjoy the blessings after becoming an official, she endured the embarrassment.

She couldn't bear it now.

If Du Jinning is prosperous, she won't be able to get any credit, and the third party will move to Fucheng to eat delicious and spicy food, but the old couple stay in the village desertedly, thinking about eating meat for a long time, this kind of What's the point of living the day?
Moreover, she lived with the old man for most of her life, and the old man told her now, didn't he just want her to make trouble?

Who cares, since there are good days that they are not allowed to go, then everyone should not live a good life, let's see who is afraid of whom!Even if Xiao Sanfang wanted to leave and live a good life without them, they would still have to bite off a big piece of meat.Without 100 taels, no, without 300 taels of silver, they wouldn't even think about getting rid of their elders like this.

Seeing that there were many guests inside and outside the house, and there was also a scholar from a nearby village, she simply slapped her hands and burst into tears: "Old man, what should we do? The grandson is admitted to the scholar, but who knows that the grandson is admitted to the scholar, so he despises us old people and wants to drive us out."

Her voice was so loud that not only the third bedroom of the Du family, but also the courtyard of the Dong family could hear her howling.Everyone came over to see what was going on.

A flash of satisfaction flashed in Du Chensheng's eyes, but an anxious look appeared on his face. He stepped forward and grabbed Niu Shi, and scolded: "Old woman, what are you doing? Go back quickly."

The old couple have been married for decades, and they have a very tacit understanding.

Niu twitched her arm, pushing Du Chensheng almost staggered. She covered her face and cried again, her voice getting louder: "My grandson even said that he doesn't recognize us. Am I not even qualified to be sad? Don't stop me , let me cry for a while."

When Mrs. Chen saw Mrs. Niu crying in front of so many people, she knew something serious had happened.

If Du Jinning didn't take the imperial examination route, it would be no problem for Du Chensheng and his wife.Just look at Yao Shi and Du Jinshou.They don't rely on the old couple for food, so they not only ignore them, but even fight against them. Isn't there nothing Du Chensheng and Niu can do about them?The relationship between rural children, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is roughly the same.As long as the elderly are not starved to death, beaten to death, or tortured to death, no other family can say anything.At most, their reputation is not good.

But scholars are very important in this regard.If there is a reputation for being unfilial, no one will guarantee you, and you will not even be eligible to take the imperial examination.

This is why Du Jinning had to deal with them even though he had signed a severance document with Du Chensheng.

Now that Du Jinning has just taken a small three yuan, he has spread the reputation of being unfilial, and it is uncertain what will happen in the future.

She grabbed Du Jinning who had just come out of the room, and asked urgently in a low voice: "What did you say? How did you provoke them to make such a fuss?"

"I didn't say anything. I just told my grandfather, don't talk about grandparents with me. No matter what happens to me in the future, he won't want to get any benefits from me." Du Jinning said blankly.

"You..." Mrs. Chen looked at Du Jinning, wanting to blame her for poking a hornet's nest at this time, but the thing had already happened, and it would be useless to blame her.She nodded and said to Du Jinning: "Don't be afraid, leave this matter to mother."

As she spoke, she turned around with high spirits and squeezed into the crowd, walking towards Niu's.

Du Jinning's reputation is important, not hers.If she is not filial to her parents-in-law, so what?Even if Du Chensheng divorced her on Du Yuncheng's behalf, she has Du Jinning and three daughters, what are she afraid of?
But before she squeezed into the middle of the crowd, she heard a sneer, the laughter was no less than Niu's voice, and it was like a silver bell, very pleasant to the ear.

Immediately afterwards, Du Fangling's voice sounded: "When my younger brother was just born, you said that he overpowered his father and wanted to drown him; if my mother hadn't stopped her life and death, my younger brother's life would have been killed by you long ago. So For a few years, he didn’t eat a single grain of your Du’s family. It was my mother and elder sister who worked tirelessly as cows and horses, and then saved food from their mouths to raise my younger brother.

what?Now that he has seen his future, you want to come to the house to be the old man and old lady again, right?I didn't promise you, but you performed well here, didn't you?I said, can you be more disgusting?The second aunt sold more than ten acres of land passed down from her ancestors, and you dare not give a shit.But now it’s making trouble for us who haven’t eaten a grain of your family’s food for more than ten years, but have supported you for more than ten years, right?Is this the scorpion's soft pinch?Do you want to bully people like this? "

As she said that, she turned her face to the people who watched the excitement and said: "Tell me, is there any old man whose grandson has won a scholar and won a small three yuan, and he is not happy for his grandson and proud of him? But look at these two people, they seem to be with each other. The grandson has a grudge, and he intends to ruin his reputation and ruin his future. Is this grandfather or grandmother? This is clearly the enemy."

It was the second day of the running water feast, and the guests were the clerks and squires of the yamen, as well as the scholars from the county, the classmates of the academy, and some for the name of Xiao Sanyuan, or they wanted their sons and grandsons to make friends with Du Jinning , or want to marry the Du family.They didn't know the inside story of the Du family.

Hearing Niu's crying at the beginning, and seeing an unmarried girl like Du Fangling stand up, not only did not comfort her grandmother, but instead sneered, she had a bad impression of the Du family, thinking that she had exposed the true colors of the Du family.

But after hearing what Du Fangling said, they also reacted.
