Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 9 Warmth
"The Du family has all this wealth, who would believe it?" Everyone watching the excitement shook their heads.

The village is so big, and everyone knows how their lives are going.

The old man of the Du family came from another village. He spent a lot of money to build a large house and bought [-] acres of land for renting out. He is really a rich man.Du Chensheng and Du Yinsheng went to the school together, but they failed many times. He couldn't bear to study anymore, so he went to a restaurant in the county town to work as a bookkeeper, and accumulated some wealth.Later, when the old man passed away and separated, he built such a big house with the same style as the old house.Now that he is old and in poor health, he no longer works, but his eldest son Du Yunyi has taken over his work, and his monthly income is not low.Although Du Yunnian, the second child of the Du family, is lazy, he has only one son and the burden is not heavy.A group of women and children in the third house of Du's family are not idlers. They are farming and tending the [-] or so acres of land under Du Chensheng's name. The food and vegetables grown every year are completely enough for the whole family to eat.

Therefore, Du Chensheng and others lived in a big house, dressed decently, bought some meat to improve their lives every ten and a half months, and were envied by others in the village on weekdays. It's like a big joke.

Du Yinsheng was so angry that he couldn't speak, pointed at Du Chensheng and said: "Okay, okay, don't regret it." After saying that, he walked out, and said to his wife Mengshi who was crowded in the crowd to watch the fun, " Take two hundred dollars to see Brother Ning, if you don’t have enough money, ask someone to go to the city to find Brother Chang to find a solution.”

Meng Shi and the miserly Niu Shi never get along, so when something happened today, she just squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement, and didn't step forward to help.At this moment, she heard her old man speak, and she turned around and left without saying a word.

Du Yinsheng no longer entered Du Chensheng's room, turned around and went outside Du Jinning's room, and asked someone to invite Mo Langzhong to come out, and said: "As long as my nephew is saved, you can use whatever medicine you want, and I will pay for it."

Mo Langzhong nodded, and handed him the prescription in his hand: "Then you can ask someone to grab the medicine. But let's make it clear first, this medicine uses ginseng and other precious medicinal materials, and it doesn't cost three hundred dollars. Bring some, the medicine is expensive now, I'm afraid three hundred yuan is not enough."

Du Yinsheng took the prescription without looking at it, and first told a child: "Go and tell your teacher's wife, tell her to take five hundred dollars." Then he handed the prescription to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy behind him, "Brother Chun Son, you and your father go to the county by car, and the car fare will be counted together when you get back. When you grab the medicine, you should watch carefully, don't tell the buddy to catch the wrong one, and make a big mistake."

Then Zheng Zhongchun is Zheng Taoer's twin brother, and his father Zheng Lin is driving the car, counting the time, it's time for him to come back from work for dinner, so he should be at home.Zheng Zhongchun took the prescription and ran out after answering.But before he left, he heard a cry of surprise in the room: "Wake up, wake up, brother Ning woke up."

It turned out that the walls of the room were thin and airy, and there was no soundproofing. What Mo Langzhong and Du Yinsheng said outside the room were heard by Du Jinning.It sounds like it will cost three hundred dollars, how can she pretend?It would be fine if the old man Du Chensheng paid the money, but Du Yinsheng had nothing to do with this matter, and she was uneasy when he spent his money for no reason.She doesn't know the current prices, and she has no idea how much three hundred dollars is worth.But the debt is easy to repay, and it is hard to repay the favor. If Du Yinsheng really spent hundreds of dollars to "rescue" her today, Mrs. Chen and Du Fangfei might have to bear a lifetime debt of favor.

Therefore, she had to "wake up" in time.

Hearing "wake up" in the room, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Mo Langzhong's mouth.But he quickly suppressed his smile, and first said to Du Yinsheng: "Wait a minute, I'll see." He opened the door and went in, first took her pulse, and then looked at Du Jinning, taking advantage of others Inadvertently blinked at her, then looked nonchalant, stroked his beard and nodded, "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up."

Du Jinning's pupils widened for a moment, and then he relaxed, his face thoughtful.

She coughed twice, and said weakly to Mo Langzhong: "I'm fine, I don't need to take medicine. I, I don't want to spend money. My eldest sister..."

She didn't finish speaking, but no one could hear what she meant.The last time she had a high fever, Du Fangfei promised her marriage and exchanged some money for her medicine.This time, she didn't want to spend any more money on medical treatment, otherwise the second sister's marriage might have to go out.

Du Yinsheng, who followed into the room, turned dark again, and said to Du Jinning: "Don't be afraid, brother Ning, this time it's uncle who will get you the money, and we'll talk about it after you cure your illness."

Du Jinning shook his head and said firmly, "No, I'm fine."

Mo Langzhong said: "Don't worry, don't worry, let me take another look." Then, he stretched out his finger and put it on Du Jinning's wrist.

After a while, he withdrew his hand, nodded and said: "That's right, it'll be fine when I wake up." Turning to Du Yinsheng, "It's okay if you don't take medicine, and you can recover after a few days of recuperation."

Although Du Yinsheng is a teacher in a private school, his income is not high, and his son is still studying to take the examination of scholar, and his daily expenses are also very large. With the five hundred Wen, his wife Mengshi's face is not very good.At this time, he heard Mo Langzhong say that he didn't need to take medicine, so he didn't insist on it. He just confessed to Du Jinning: "If you are sick, you have to see a doctor. If you have any discomfort, you must tell your mother. Invite Mo Langzhong again. Don't support me. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your mother and sisters."

"Yes, thank you uncle and grandfather." Du Jinning was very grateful to Du Yinsheng.

Mrs. Chen also wiped her tears and thanked Du Yinsheng persistently.

When Du Jinning woke up, the affairs of the Du family had come to an end. It was time to go home for dinner, and everyone in the village dispersed.But Du Yinsheng stayed behind, went to Du Chensheng's house, and said to him: "You know, Brother Ning has the gift of a photographic memory."

"What?" Du Chensheng raised his head and looked at his eldest brother in surprise.

"Today he passed by my private school, and he heard the children inside memorize the "Three Character Classic", and he recited it with his mouth open, and every word was correct."

Du Chensheng really didn't want to hear anything about Du Jinning anymore. Before Du Yinsheng could finish speaking, he interrupted: "What's the matter? I read the Three Character Classic in private school all day long, and Brother Shou also read it when I got home. Even a cow can listen to it." Yes, it’s nothing if he can recite it.”

Seeing his younger brother like this, Du Yinsheng sighed, and continued: "But I found out that he was like this, so I took the sentences in "University" and "Doctrine of the Mean" to test him. I didn't talk about these in the private school. I just After reading it once, he can recite the whole passage word for word. This kid really has the ability of photographic memory."
