Chapter 445 To the end...

"Master Zhao is a third-rank official, right? He's the schoolmaster of our place, and Du Jinning is still the leader of his case. If he opens his mouth to say something, not to mention that Yang Zhifu and Zeng Tongpan can sell him face, even Du Jinning will If you don't dare to make a fuss about this matter, wouldn't this matter settle down?" Du Zheyan was quite clear.

Qi Siyu didn't have the slightest confidence in Zhao Liang's willingness to lend a helping hand in this bullshit matter.

He shook his head and said: "You don't know, he went to Beijing for business some time ago. Let's do this, if it was half a month earlier, it would have been easier when he was still in Guangxi Province. But the water far away can't save the thirsty near. Wait for us Send the letter there, and if he writes back again, the fight between the prefect Yang and Zeng Tongsan may have subsided long ago."

Du Zheyan was very disappointed.

In this matter, Zhao Liang is the one who can reach out to help them the most.But now that he's not here, how can this matter be good?
"You go back first, I'll go to my grandfather to find a solution." Qi Siyu said.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Du Zheyan had no choice but to ask each other again and again before leaving with a full heart.

Qi Siyu watched him leave his yard, after thinking about it, he went to his grandfather and told him about it.

At the end he said: "Du Zheyan is my brother after all, he is in trouble now, grandfather, do you think we can do a favor for his family? For example, write a letter to Zhao Liang?"

Qi Yuandao looked at him as if he was a fool: "Do you think Zhao Liang will help? Two magistrates are robbing the land. What's the matter with him being a student of politics? What position does he have to mediate? Can he give Yang Zhifu and Zeng Tong What's the benefit of the sentence? If there is no benefit, will others listen to him? If they don't listen to him, where will he put his face?"

Qi Siyu was left speechless by the question.

He said embarrassingly, "then we can't help it, right?"

"Not to mention that this matter has nothing to do with us, but it is related. Those people may not necessarily help us. Brother Yu, you have to know, 'The world is prosperous, everything is for profit; the world is crowded, everything is for profit'. Although they are sincere and willing to remember their grandfather's kindness to them, their affection is also used one time at a time. They are not our family's slaves, let us do what we want. Now we entrust them to help for the Du family , When something happens to your father or you, will they still be willing to help? Now that you have grown up, you have become your own father, don’t act like a child, you have to be mature Woke up."

Qi Siyu didn't get things done, but was taught a lesson by his grandfather, and finally went back to his yard in despair.

But he didn't tell Du Zheyan about his situation here. Du Zheyan sent someone to ask, but he only said that he had written a letter and there was no reply for a while, so Du Zheyan waited patiently.

But Du Zheyan was patient, but Yang Yuntao was impatient.He swiftly and decisively took down Chief Zhang and brought up a policeman who was willing to listen to him; he also took advantage of this incident to submit a copy of the Zeng Tong Judgment to his superior; .When this incident got serious, the boss couldn't even cover up Zeng Tongju. In the end, he could only write a letter to reprimand Zeng Tongju, and fined him half a year's salary. Now, Zeng Tongpan's idea of ​​going up is also shattered.

At the same time, Yang Yuntao took advantage of Zeng Tongsan's lack of time to care about him, and quickly directed several incidents, taking down the people who originally belonged to Zeng Tongsan's camp and replacing them with his own people.So in the government office, he and Zeng Tongpan each owned half of the country, and Yang Yuntao had the final say.Zeng Tong judged that the situation was over, so he could only put his tail between his legs and bow down to Yang Yuntao.

Because of the Du family's affairs, Zeng Tongsan suffered such a big loss, how dare he give up?Immediately let people go to Du's restaurant to find trouble.On the one hand, the Du family brought out the Qi family, and on the other hand, they were willing to give a restaurant to the Zeng family.

On the cusp of this storm, Zeng Tongpan did not dare to use any more shady means against the Du family, for fear of being caught by Yang Yuntao again; Mrs. Zeng also felt that the loss had already been suffered anyway, and it would be useless to pursue the Du family. Some benefits; besides, their grandparents and grandchildren were impulsive in this matter, and they did not blame the Du family.So he took over the restaurant, and asked the Du family to take a few hundred taels of silver as compensation, which was considered to be the end of the matter.It's just that the Du and Zeng families have turned against each other, and Mrs. Zeng is no longer willing to associate with the Du family.

The Du family not only gave the restaurant and a few hundred taels of silver, but also paid 400 taels of silver to Du Jinning, which was regarded as compensation for the gate and an apology.And on the plaque at the front of Du Jinning's newly built gate, there are still the two flamboyant characters written by Guan Lehe: Du Zhai.

Losing money is a small thing, but the Du family has a bad reputation in this alley, and the residents in the alley are unwilling to communicate with the Du family anymore. of.The Du family's connections to the upper class were broken.

But those residents Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning's family had a different attitude. They often sent their young masters to talk to Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning to make friends, and they even gave small gifts from time to time.The attitude towards the two Du families was one cold and the other hot, which made the old man Du and Du Zheyan very angry.

The second master of Du's family in Xingning County learned about this, wrote a letter and scolded Du Zheyan.Because of the loss of money in the family, the eldest family of the Du family made a lot of trouble at home. In the end, Mrs. Du gave some rights to the eldest family, so there was no separation.In the end, all these losses were attributed to Erfang.

"Hey, tell me, what are we doing? We lost half of the family business, offended the Zeng family, and didn't gain anything." Du Zhexin was very unwilling to take this opportunity to separate the family, so he kept talking. Slander in front of Mrs. Du.

Old Mrs. Du was heartbroken when he thought of the money lost by his family, and from time to time, he would grab Du Zheyan and kneel and reprimand him for punishment.

Du Zheyan hated Du Jinning to death, and vowed to make Du Jinning look good when he went to the government school.

Of course, this is all for later.

Let's say that after Du Jinning sent Yang Yuntao away that day, he had dinner with Qi Bokun and others, comforted his mother and sisters, and stayed in the kitchen of Qi Mansion for the next few days, teaching those people how to cook.

She does not teach cooking by herself first, and then teach her by hand.She first asks people to report what dish she is best at, and then tells the method of a dish in a targeted manner, and asks the other party to write down the method and cook it by herself.Each person first teaches a dish, and she tastes it after it is ready, and picks out the faults for them to improve until she is satisfied with the cooking.

In addition, some apprentices were recruited to come in to make piers, and they only cut vegetables, not cooking them.
