Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 100

After a brief tidying up, Mrs. Hu will take Du Yu to visit Jiaoyu's wife and family. In addition, the county magistrate's wife, county magistrate's wife, county lieutenant's wife, etc., after this round of worship, their legs can walk thin Well, in fact, the two families who are most relevant are the county magistrate and Jiaoyu.

Because the county school has nothing to do with other departments of the county government, and it would be bad if the relationship is too close. The county school is a place dedicated to learning. If you try to make connections everywhere, are you an academic or an official?

Qingyang County’s Jiaoyu’s name is Zhou Zhigao, also known as Zhou Jiaoyu, and he is also in his 40s. Her wife, Qian Shi, gave birth to three daughters in a row, but she doesn’t have a son, but Zhou Jiaoyu did not take concubines. He has a good relationship with his wife, Qian Shi.

They live alone in a yard not far from where Du Yu lives now.

Qian's first two daughters were already married, and there was a youngest daughter at home, one year older than Du Yu, whose name was Zhou Hui. Seeing Hu bringing Du Yu over, Qian smiled and said, "Our Huier He said every day that he didn't play together, now it's all right, no, there's only one here? From now on, you two will get along well."

Zhou Hui took Du Yu to her room.Zhou Hui herself has a maid named Xiaoxin, which is quite a strange name.But as a guest, Du Yu couldn't take the initiative to ask why.

"Where is Sister Du from? What do you like? Do you know how to read?" Zhou Hui asked with a smile.

Du Yu also answered one by one, and then asked Zhou Hui. After getting the answer, the two became a little familiar.

"So, you are the only girl in your family?" Zhou Hui asked. There are three girls in her family, and her father has no sons. They are all staring at her from her hometown. Isn't it because his father is a juror and has some property on hand? ?
However, these people have a good idea!Nothing happened to them.

Du Yu said: "I still have a few cousins ​​in my family, and I'm not alone!"

"So, your big family hasn't separated yet?" Zhou Hui asked.

Du Yu nodded.

"Your family must have a good relationship. Unlike our family, my uncles and uncles were not happy to study from my father and forced us to separate the family. Well, now that my father is Juren, they are desperate I wanted to co-author it, but it’s too late to say anything.”

Zhou Hui felt that she had said a little too much, so she didn't say any more. This kind of thing is a bit embarrassing.But Du Yu could understand, wasn't that what his grandfather was like back then?Because of the high cost of studying, the eldest grandma Zhang immediately forced the family to separate.Zhou Jiaoyu has succeeded, so he can feel proud, but his grandfather did not succeed, and it has been said for decades.

After visiting Zhou Jiaoyu's house, he gradually became acquainted with Zhou Hui. Over there, Wang Xundao's family did not have a partner of similar age, and there was also a Mei family. Du Yu seldom interacted there, although they lived in all next to each other.

Dalang is now teaching Erlang at home. At Erlang's age, he can't even enter the county school, and the county school has too little time for class. Du Youzhong is also busy, so Dalang is the one who teaches Erlang first, but they also inquired. There are also several private schools near here, let Erlang go to private schools, at least he can meet people of the same age.

As a result, Mrs. Qi, the wife of the county magistrate, found out, and said to Mrs. Hu directly: "Why don't you come to our house to learn, we have hired a gentleman here to teach my young and old." Lord Qi has two sons, one aged About the same age as Erlang, the other is Xiaoer, only six years old, the one who was almost abducted by kidnappers during the Lantern Festival.

"Speaking of which, I'm not afraid that Mrs. Du will make fun of you. I also want to find a companion for our family, Pengju, so that we can read together." Mrs. Qi said.

Mrs. Hu and Du Youzhong discussed it and agreed. The gentleman the county magistrate found must have passed the level of knowledge. As for Dalang, Du Youzhong would take him with him and teach him personally. Dalang's hometown is not Qingyang County. Yes, so I am not afraid of others saying that he leaked the questions of the county examination for his son to read.

Du Youzhong planned to let Dalang return to Yunyang County to take the county examination next year, but this year he felt that the heat was not enough, and some things needed to be consolidated.

And when they were about to come to Qingyang County, Du Yu and the others wrote to their eldest cousin, telling him about their family's movements, so they soon received another letter from his eldest cousin.

The eldest cousin has been traveling for a year, and he didn’t come back during the Chinese New Year. My uncle and aunt missed him very much. During the Chinese New Year, Du Yu’s grandmother cried while talking, and I missed my cousin too much. Brother's reason.

It turns out that this time the eldest cousin actually went to the capital and went to see the Guozijian. He also talked about the prosperity of the capital, but he also said that the things in the capital are much more expensive than their Yunyang County, so don’t bring enough money. Come to the capital for the scientific examination, otherwise you will not be able to sustain it. He also said that at the beginning of the year, the number of people rushing for the examination in the capital increased, and many people could not find the inn, so if you come to Beijing to rush for the examination in the future, it is best to pass the year before , or can find someone with a relationship to live in, otherwise there may be no place to stay, and in the spring, the price of the inn will be raised.He couldn't afford to spend this unjustly money, so he fled from the capital in a hurry.

It's really interesting for my cousin to write a letter, and what he said is vivid. Fortunately, my father didn't go to the exam this year, otherwise his eyes would be blackened!
Being a trainer here, at least he can establish a good relationship with Master Qi, who has connections in the capital.

Of course, they and Dean Chu are now quasi-in-laws, and they can help, but there are some things that don't just need to be helped. The official affairs are not just talked about!

By the time Du Youzhong and the others finished the county examination, it was already the end of February. There was a prescribed number for how many candidates each county had to pass the examination. Master Qi himself and Zhou Jiaoyu chose it, and they were not afraid of their favoritism. After all, the county If you tried it, it doesn't even count as a child student, and if you fail the government test, you still have to take the test again the next year.It's not good to send it up at that time, and it's them who are ashamed.So choose as good an article as possible.

After finishing the county examination, there is plenty of time left, and Du Youzhong also took Dalang to visit several people.Then I started to teach Dalang seriously.Except for the days when Du Youzhong was required to attend classes stipulated by Zhou Jiaoyu, he generally did not compete with others. Some students and students came to ask for advice, and he patiently guided them.

Even sometimes when it's meal time, they will be left to eat together.

Zhou Hui made an appointment with Du Yu. On March [-]rd, he would go out to the city for an outing and fly a kite.

On this day, Du Yu was learning how to cut clothes with her mother, when she heard screams and cries from the next door, making it very lively.

Du Yu and the others didn't want to hear it, but there was a wall, and a strange young woman's voice over there yelled loudly: "Who do you think you are, but a concubine, my mother will sell you if she wants to! My mother is merciful, so you kicked your nose in the face! You still want my mother's strength! What! You will have a son, and my mother will have a son a long time ago! How dare you let this brat call you mother! You have What’s the matter, you still want my father to divorce my mother so that you can be righted? Go and make your mother’s dream come true.”

Could this voice be that of Wang Xundao's daughter? Wasn't his daughter married long ago?Why do you come here now to find bad luck?

Mrs. Hu heard that it was ridiculous, and said to Du Yu: "Go to Zhou's house and play with Hui'er. Don't listen here!"

Du Yu and Zhou Hui are very familiar, and Hu is relieved.

After Du Yu walked a few steps, he saw someone eavesdropping outside. It seemed that others liked to listen to other people's gossip.

"Didn't you say that you have something to do at home today? Why are you here again?" Although Zhou Hui said this, she was very happy. She was bored by herself, and she couldn't play with Du Yu every day.

Du Yu didn't hide it either, "There was a commotion next door to my house, and my mother asked me to hide!"

"Hey, it's happening again? How long has it been? The eldest daughter of the Wang family must be back!" Zhou Hui is probably used to it, "You guys haven't come before, I don't know, the eldest daughter of the Wang family is amazing! No one else can scold you! It must be the bad luck of finding that concubine again!"

It seems that Zhou Hui understands quite clearly. Zhou Hui asked Xiaoxin to go out to inquire about the situation. It is rare to have such a lively scene.

"I said, you also need a maid, otherwise you will do everything by yourself, how bad it is, look at me, if you are careful, you can let her run errands, and I will wait at home."

Du Yu said: "My grandma doesn't even have a maid to serve her, so what does it matter if I have a maid?"

"That's right. Your parents and elders are very good. It's shameless not to give them to them. Then you can ask your father to buy two maids for your grandma."

"My grandma won't want it, she said she has hands and feet."

"Well, it seems that you are still going to be a maid for a while, but you said, if your father's boss gave it to your father, then you have to ask for your milk, which is not justified."

Zhou Hui hastily thought of an idea.

"Let's talk about this later. I still have my elder brother and second brother at home, which is a bit inconvenient!"

Just as I was talking, I was careful to find out the situation when I came back from the outside, "It was the eldest aunt of the Wang family who came to see Mrs. Wang, but the young master of the Wang family accidentally called the aunt and grandma. Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, and Aunt Wang said nothing I'm angry." Then he made a fuss, wanting to give Mrs. Mei a good look.

Even if a concubine gave birth to a son, she couldn't be called a mother by the son. It is estimated that the Mei family didn't pay attention to it, so she let her life call her mother, but she showed her secrets in front of the eldest aunt of the Wang family.

Zhou Hui said: "This aunt of the Wang family is a powerful person, even Wang Xundao is a little afraid of her."

Since you are afraid of your own daughter, why do you want to take a concubine?Isn't this looking for draws?Zhou Hui saw what Du Yu meant, and said, "Do you think why Wang Xundao is afraid of his daughter? Isn't it because his daughter married into a good family? It's no wonder he's not afraid!"

It turned out that Aunt Wang was married to a wealthy family in Qingyang County, which was deeply rooted in Qingyang County. Wang Xun taught a small Juren, so she had to provide for his daughter?The concubine's room was taken by the aunt of the Wang family before she got married.
