Chapter 539 Du Jinning's Thoughts
Du Jinning became the son-in-law of the Pan family, so it was difficult for him to call Du Jinning by his first name, so he immediately changed his address, which shows that Wen Mo is astute.

Pan Yiting stroked his beard and thought for a while, then asked, "How many unengaged girls of the right age are there in our clan?"

Wen Mo looked up at him, lowered his eyelids and said, "Master, if it's a girl from a side branch, the villain is worried that Mr. Du won't be tempted. In addition, because he is not close, he can still rely on the Qi family as our son-in-law. The villain sees this Du Jinning from a poor family, but he was able to get a small three yuan at the young age of 14, which shows that he is extraordinary. It would be better for the master to choose a girl who is closer to him."

In fact, Pan Yiting has many wives and concubines, and there are quite a few concubines in his family, and there are also two or three unengaged ones of the right age.It's just that he subconsciously feels that this kind of young man in a remote area is not worthy of his own daughter, so he thinks about it in the clan.

After being reminded by Jing Wenmo, Pan Yiting became serious, half-closed his eyes and thought for a while before saying, "Then Miss Seven."

The seventh girl's mother was a maid who was "fortunately" given to her by the drunken Pan Yiting.Because of carelessness in raising her, this girl shy away from being on the stage, and was a little overweight. She was the one Pan Yiting didn't like the most among his many sons and daughters.Taking her as betroth to a poor family reflects the value of her girl from the Pan family.That's exactly what he thought, what Du Jinning was like, whether he was tall or short, fat or thin, was not in Pan Yiting's consideration.

……

Du Jinning didn't know that Pan Yiting vowed to turn her into his "son-in-law", and even picked out his fiancée for her.At this time, she and Qi Muyuan were listening to Yao Shuqi and Wang Fulai's report of their rankings in the second exam.

When Qi Muyuan heard that he had won the first place and Du Jinning was second, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Du Jinning.

But Du Jinning's eyes were bright and he was smiling very happily.The corners of Qi Muyuan's mouth curled up, his expression softened, and he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, without saying anything.

When Du Jinning won the first place, not only was he not depressed at all, but he was really happy for Du Jinning.Now that he has won the first place, Du Jinning is really happy for him.What he wanted to say at this time was his distrust of Du Jinning, which would make Du Jinning sad.

"Have you not told your wife about this news?" Du Jinning asked Yao Shuqi.

Yao Shuqi shook his head: "We went straight back to report after seeing the list, and we haven't had time to go to my wife's place."

Du Jinning turned to Qi Muyuan and said, "I'll go to the backyard and tell my mother to make her happy too." Apart from her, Fang Shaohua and Xu Chengyuan also ranked very high in the second exam. Mrs. Chen will be very happy to hear the news.

"Go." Qi Muyuan said.

When Mrs. Chen heard that Du Jinning and her two sons-in-law had done well in the exam, she was naturally very happy, but she was afraid that Du Jinning would be unhappy when she got No. It's far worse. It's a matter of course for him to take the first place in the exam, mother, you don't have to excuse me, I can only be happy for him in my heart."

Only then did Chen feel relieved.

Du Jinning said to the maid standing beside him, "Go out first, I have something to say to my mother."

After the two maids went out and stood in front of the steps, they were far away from the house and couldn't hear the conversation in the house, Du Jinning then said: "Mother, if I get Jie Yuan in this provincial examination, Master Pan will probably come to talk to us And this time he has a political purpose, and he will never be dismissed at will, and the rhetoric of restraining his wife may not be of much use to him. We have to find a way."

Chen was taken aback, but didn't ask why.She knew that Du Jinning said this, so there was a high chance of this possibility.

She asked in a panic: "Then what should I do?"

"When the time comes, you will say that I engaged in a marriage in the country. And I am a scholar, so I must be honest. I can't be ungrateful and despise a wife who is a mess. In short, I insisted on this reason and refused the marriage."

Chen frowned: "But what if they go to the countryside to check and find out that there is no such thing? People like them will never give up until they achieve their goals, and they never take ordinary people seriously. When the time comes Didn't our lie fall through when you went to find that family with the idea of ​​coercing and luring your fiancee?"

Du Jinning sighed: "I also know that this idea has a lot of loopholes, but what else can I do?" In fact, there are still ways, but she doesn't want to do things that harm others and benefit herself.

Du Jinning is famous for her talent and good looks. She has no bad deeds and her family is rich. She is also good friends with many rich and powerful sons. Moreover, she is the only child in the family. Her mother and elder sister are very kind. She is considered by many middle-aged women Cheng Long Kuai son-in-law, in the past two years, I don’t know how many people have come to Mrs. Chen to inquire about marrying Du Jinning. More than half of the wives in Hulu Lane have expressed their thoughts to Mrs. Chen. The family status of the Du family, but this does not prevent them from marrying the Du family with concubine daughters or relatives' children.

In order to refuse the marriage, Chen also offended many people in the past two years.She knows how difficult it is for these people to get married, and some of them will not give up if they fail to achieve their goals. You have to give a reason.

She sighed and said: "For the present plan, it is better to find a family with a young daughter and a poor family, and make a real engagement with him. In this way, the girl's marriage will not be delayed, and secondly, we You can also compensate them in terms of money. As long as you make an engagement, you don’t have to worry about others making fuss about your marriage in the future.”

If she could do this, Du Jinning would have done it a long time ago. At this time, she flatly refused: "No. Even if the daughter of that family is still young, if we divorce her, her reputation will be damaged. I can't make it difficult for others because of myself. .”

Chen also knew that it was not good to do so.

She frowned and said, "Or I'll take in an orphan girl, say she's your cousin, and make an appointment for you to marry her."

Du Jinning sighed: "Actually, when I bought Jiangnan, I had this idea."

Chen was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood Du Jinning's thoughts.

If Du Jinning wants to marry an orphan, there must be a valid reason.On the other hand, Jiangnan is beautiful, and some teenagers like beautiful women, even regardless of her status, which is easier to win people's trust.

Probably later, seeing that Jiangnan's temperament is not so simple, and it is not easy to let go of it if it is stained, Du Jinning dispelled this idea, and voluntarily isolated from Jiangnan, rarely meeting her.
