Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 789 Ding You
"Who is reporting? Please come in." She ordered.

Old man Zhu went out, and after a while, a person came in.This man was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a long face, thin eyebrows, and a blue overcoat, wearing a sackcloth and a filial hat. As soon as he came in, he knelt down on the ground and cried, "Third Aunt, Grandpa is gone. Father , The mother specially asked the nephew to report the funeral."

Although they had been separated for several years, Chen and Du Jinning recognized at a glance that this person was Du Jinde, the eldest son of Xiao Dafang.

"Brother De, get up quickly." Mrs. Chen yelled, motioning to old man Zhu to help Du Jinde up, and turned to look at Du Jinning.

As soon as Du Jinning saw Du Jinde, his doubts disappeared.

Qin Laoliu would never add anything to the liking, bribe someone from the Du family's small family to report the news, and even report the funeral.After all, she had to worry about Ding to report the funeral, which involved a lot.Qin Lao Liu would never cheat her like this.It's not doing him any good.

It seemed that Du Chensheng had really passed away.

Now, Du Jinning is the most promising member of the Du family.If it weren't for this, Du Yunyi and Mrs. Zhang wouldn't have sent their youngest son to report to Mrs. Chen and Du Jinning from thousands of miles away, and they could just send any servant.

Because of this, after Du Jinde was helped up, he looked at Du Jinning and bowed to her: "Fourth brother."

Du Jinning stood up and bowed back: "Second brother, thank you for your hard work."

She called someone to bring a chair for Du Jinde to sit down, served tea and snacks, and then asked: "What's wrong with grandfather? Why is it so sudden?"

"It's the second uncle." Speaking of this, Du Jinde expressed resentment, "The second uncle went to gamble again. Not only did he sell all his fields, but he also owed a whole lot of debt. He asked his grandparents to help him pay off. Grandfather I helped him pay it back once and refused to pay it back. During the dispute that day, he pushed his grandfather so angrily that he knocked his head on the corner of the table and left within two days."

Speaking of this, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve again: "Grandma fell ill on the spot. When I came, grandma was still lying on the bed. I don't know what's going on now."

He has been with his father in the city since he was a child, and he only goes back to Taohua Village during the holidays. He has no affection for Du Chensheng and Niu Shi.Speaking of Du Chensheng's encounter and death at this moment, he actually didn't feel sad.It's just that since I came to report a funeral, I always had to put on a show, so I made a gesture of wiping my tears.

If it weren't for the consideration that Chen Shi and Du Jinning not only had no feelings for Du Chensheng, but wished him to die early, he should have burst into tears as soon as he entered the door.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen only felt that the law of heaven was obvious, and she was unhappy with the retribution.

If it wasn't for Du Chensheng and Niu Shi who had taken care of Du Yunnian, how could they have developed Du Yunnian's temperament?Now being backlashed by it and dying at the hands of Du Yunnian, this is self-inflicted.

She looked at Du Jinning, waiting for Du Jinning to show her.

Originally, they pretended that Niu was sick and asked her to go back. Now that Du Chensheng has passed away, it is a good thing for them not to spread false news.Especially here, Du Jinning can let go of everything in his hands, and Ding You will go back to Gui Province with her.In this way, you can avoid the affairs in the officialdom, and you can get away naturally.

Thinking of this, she really wanted to say to Du Chensheng: a good death.

Having tortured their mother and daughter for over ten years, now that they died just right, it can be regarded as making up for what they owed their mother and daughter in those years.

Du Jinning said: "Second brother, I am in the officialdom, so I don't mean that I can leave. I have to submit a paperwork to report to the emperor and apply for Ding You. If you are in a hurry, you can take a step forward after two days of rest, and wait for the emperor to issue a decree. I will take my mother back."

It is now March of the lunar calendar, and the weather is warm; Guangxi Province is located in the southern part of the Song Dynasty, and the climate is hotter than that of Jiangnan.Du Jinde came from Guangxi Province, first went to the capital to inquire, and then found Runzhou, and walked for more than a month on the road.The family definitely couldn't wait for them, and had buried Du Chensheng long ago.

So he was in no hurry to go home at all.

But it's hard to say, he just said: "Let's wait for my third aunt and fourth brother to go together, so I can have someone to take care of me on the way."

Naturally, Du Jinning would not urge him to go first.

She said: "The second brother lives here, and I will set off with you when I receive the order."

As she said that, she stood up and said to Chen Shi: "Mother, you arrange room and board for the second brother, and I'll go to the study to write notes."

"Okay, go get busy." Chen replied.

Du Jinning came out from Mrs. Chen's place and went back to his yard.

Leaving Aoki outside the courtyard door, she closed the courtyard door and walked into the house, thinking about how to arrange and layout.

In fact, she still has a lot of things to do, such as asking Qi Bokun to help her win the Danshu iron coupon after successfully planting the hybrid rice, and then proceed to the next step, but she doesn't want to be disrupted by Du Chensheng's death now.

Now, it can only be counted.

She first wrote a letter to Qi Muyuan, and sent Zhang Songtao to the capital; then she wrote a note and sent it to Guan Jiatian to report to Ding You.

Guan Jiatian was her superior, so she couldn't skip the rank and submit the memorial to Zhao Yu directly. Guan Jiatian had to write the memorial after being verified by Guan Jiatian.

In fact, she was far away from her hometown. If her elder passed away locally, the moment she got the letter, she could go home to deal with the funeral. She no longer had to stay at her post. When the time came, her boss would directly report to Ding You on her behalf.

After Guan Jiatian received the letter, he hurried to Du's mansion, asked Du Jinde about the situation, and immediately sent someone to the capital to report the letter.

After the yamen servant who delivered the letter left, he asked Du Jinning worriedly: "What do you plan to do with this mess you are in charge of?"

"Let's see what the emperor has to say." Du Jinning said.

Guan Jiatian sighed and had no choice but to wait for the news.

In the middle of the capital, Zhao Wen saw the brochure that Guan Jiatian handed over, and immediately called Qi Bokun to discuss it: "Du Jinning's grandfather passed away, please report to Ding You. What do you think?"

Before Qi Bokun could speak, he said again: "I heard from Ai Qing that Du Jinning's grandfather treated him very badly, and the two parties even signed a severance document. Is there such a thing?"

Qi Bokun said: "Exactly."

"In this case, I will seize the love, does Ai Qing have any opinions?"

"Duoqing?" Qi Bokun was stunned.

Minister Ding You, if the country needs him, there is no way to let him go home to observe his filial piety, which is called seduction.But Duoqing is often used for generals on the battlefield, or civil servants in important positions.No matter who it is, Duoqing will be criticized ethically.

Du Jinning is only a minor official of the sixth rank, although what she is doing is very important.But in some people's eyes, the matter can be delayed.It's not too late to delay it for a year or two.

But her one or two nights will definitely have an impact on Zhao Yu's confrontation with the family.

After all, Zhao Wei also hoped that after she increased the grain production, she would let go of the roads throughout the country and prosper business, so as to restrain the aristocratic family's control over the court.

After thinking again and again, Qi Bokun said: "If the emperor uses the word 'duoqing', he will definitely be opposed by the ministers. Since Du Jinning signed the severance document, it means severing the relationship. The emperor started from this aspect and refused. Du Jinning's request still makes sense."
