Chapter 166

The eldest aunt has a grandson, and although there are family members from the Qi family to send congratulatory gifts, the Hu family and Du Yu have also prepared some things, including the dried seafood here, the so-called seafood among the delicacies of mountains and seas refers to this.

The eldest aunt is Du Yu's father's generation, the first to have a grandson, and also the first to be a grandmother.Time is not forgiving.

But compared to the second aunt, the eldest aunt is more liked by Du Yu and the others.

Du Erlang didn't take the county exam this year. He felt that he had to wait a year before taking the exam, which would be more sure. He also wanted to pass the college exam in one go, just like his father.

Both the eldest cousin and the eldest brother passed the government examination first, and then passed the hospital examination the next year.

However, Du Erlang was still looking forward to coming to Pengze County. After he was going to be admitted as a scholar, he traveled around like his cousin, and then came directly to Pengze County by himself.

Du Erlang didn't know that his peach blossoms were quite prosperous in Pengze County, although he had never been to Pengze County himself.

Regarding Hu Xin's life experience, Du Youzhong also wrote a letter to his uncle to reassure them.

This year, Du Yu is 14 years old and will go back to prepare for marriage next year.

After all, it is impossible for Hu Xin to stay with Peng Ze all the time, so after the beginning of spring, Du Youzhong and Mr. Qin, the county magistrate, discussed to hire someone from Chenzhou. At least there is even a teaching position here. .

In the past, it was because they had no grades and no talents, so they were not qualified to ask for this teaching and instruction. Now they have achieved results in a year, and they have taught one scholar, two young students, and then they want people from the top. Good to have.

The prefect of Chenzhou readily agreed, but he also had to file a case with the provincial capital. If the provincial capital disagreed, there was nothing he could do.

However, there was no procrastination in the provincial capital this year, so they just stamped and agreed.

The prefect of Chenzhou was about to send someone there, but his aides told him that it was best for the magistrate of Pengze County to get this person himself. Mr. Zhifu, Mr. Peng Ze, who was finally ruled by Mr. Peng, has achieved such a little achievement. Mr. Sir just doesn't get involved in anything. This achievement is also recorded, so why bother him?
Just let the county magistrate Pengze choose the candidates himself, and the results will have nothing to do with adults.

If the results are good, the adults will be rewarded, and if the performance is not good, there will be some people who will take the blame.

The magistrate of Chenzhou thought about it, and it was the same reason. A county's discipline does not even have real power, so why should he argue with the county magistrate of Pengze?
If it is not good, at that time, he said that he recommended it, and the mistakes will be thrown on him. This is a loss-making business and cannot be done.

It is also a good thing for Du Youzhong and the others that the prefect of Chenzhou gave Pengze County such a right to choose independently.After all, they are also afraid that their superiors will send a flower shelf, and they will not submit to discipline because they rely on the superiors to send them.

At that time, it will take a lot of effort to subdue it.

It is not good for the students in the county school.Du Youzhong had written to Dean Chu a long time ago, he should have many people in this area on hand.

Not long after, two instructors recommended by Dean Chu came to take up their posts, and Du Youzhong's salary was also good, so they felt at ease teaching here.

Du Yu received a letter from his family. The letter was written by Yangliu Village. Fifth Uncle Du You also got everything done in the village. In addition to farming, he also raised chickens, ducks and fish. Planted on the mountain, the prospect is bright.

And after the spring plowing, Chen Du's second son, Chen Erye, came to Pengze County. He came here to buy some seafood.

I also know that I have my cousin here, so I have acquaintances to handle things easily, and I am not afraid of being murdered for money.

The Chen family is not considered the largest family in their town, so they wanted to expand their thinking. The dry goods store also had to open. Knowing that Peng Ze's side is closer to the sea, they came here.

But Chen Erye was much smarter than his mother, so he didn't go directly to the county government to find Du Youzhong. After all, they were in business. If Du Youzhong was involved in using power for personal gain, then Du Youzhong would be in trouble, and their Chen family might have had bad things.

So I settled in the inn first, and then came to the county government to visit my cousin as a relative.

Du Youzhong was not surprised by the arrival of Chen Erye's cousin. The relatives came over, and they were entertained with delicious food and drinks, and Master Wang was also with him. Since he wanted to buy dried seafood, he also paid for it. It can still be convenient for him. People live in this world, and it is not good to be too upright.

So Chen Erye bought top-quality dried seafood at an extremely cheap price. This time he went back and sold it for money, and he would definitely make a lot of money.

It's also because Chen Erye is a relative of County Magistrate Du, so he doesn't make much money.

But Du Youzhong asked someone to explain that in the future, it will be what it should be. It is not easy for everyone. If he does not make any money, then he will be incompetent as a parent official. Isn't that robbing the common people for money?

But the person selling dry goods over there smiled and said: "Master Du is so polite. We can make money at this price, but it's just a little less. Since we are relatives of Mr. Du, how can we cheat?" Conscience earns so much? Go back and tell the lord, don't worry, we are not fools, we can't do this loss-making business."

Mr. Du is able to cultivate talents for our Pengze County, which is a kindness to our Pengze County, so what does it matter if you earn a little less?
If Mr. Du's own family came here, they would rather lose money and give it to Mr. Du.So it doesn't matter at all.

And Chen Erye saw that Du Youzhong's cousin had such a good reputation here, so he felt that the relationship with the Du family should be maintained properly.

Master Wang was also responsible for bringing the message to Second Master Chen. Relatives are relatives, but if they rely on their relationship to bully others, then it doesn't matter if the relative doesn't do it.

Chen Erye hurriedly assured that his Chen family would be cautious in words and deeds, and would never do that kind of bullying.They are merchants, and the most important thing is reputation, and they will not do anything to ruin their reputation.

Of course, words are said by people, and if they are actually put into practice, there may be people who do not do that. There have always been people who pretend to be powerful, but as long as they do not exceed that range, Du Youzhong is not unable to deal with them.

Mrs. Hu thought that Du Yu would get married next year, and she didn't have much preparation for the dowry, so she wanted to get her a shop or other real estate, and was preparing to write a letter to her family.

After all, Hu Xin is also from Yunyang County, and it is best to buy property in Yunyang County, which is also their root.Even if I go to another place in the future, I will not worry that the property will disappear.

It's just that there is no separation after all, and she still wants Dalang and the others to help with it, so she takes money from their private house and buys some things for Du Yu.

Du Youzhong said: "Let's buy a small village for Yu'er. You can plant whatever you want at that time, and accompany you with a few shops. She brings her own people, and she can let people run it."

Hu said: "It's not good to bother the Chu family, we are enough to bother them."

Du Youzhong said: "We will also ask the Chu family to ask us to help when we have the opportunity. We married their daughter, and we will treat their daughter better in the future, and let Da Lang take good care of his wife. This is what the Chu family should mean. "

Among the in-laws, those who can help can help. Since he has become an in-law with the Chu family, Du Youzhong is not polite, and the help is mutual. He asked Dean Chu to find someone to be a mentor, and then he will also make Jinxi Academy famous After all, these two people came from Jinxi Academy.

But Du Youzhong still said: "Da Lang is going to be a father. You leave these things to him and let him handle them by himself. He will also support this family in the future."

Hu Shi listened and nodded.Later, Hu took Du Yu to Zhu Dahu's house. Zhu Dahu's eldest wife celebrated her 50th birthday, and Hu, as the county magistrate's wife, also attended to give Zhu Dahu face.

Of course, this is Zhu Dahu's eldest wife, and Hu's family can support others. If it is Zhu Dahu's young wife or something, then she will definitely not come to join her. After all, Hu is the main wife, and she can't do it by herself Her own face, although her family does not have a concubine.

Mrs. Zhu looks round and beautiful. Although she is 50 years old, she has very few wrinkles on her face, and she looks like she is in her forties.

Mrs. Zhu has a son, a daughter, a grandson, and a granddaughter. Now her grandsons have become scholars, so she is a relatively happy woman in the Zhu family.

Although Zhu Dahu has many concubines and aunts, Zhu Dahu respects this eldest wife very much. The younger wife is for him to have fun, and the one who can really equal his status is the eldest wife.

Moreover, Mrs. Zhu's sons have now taken over most of the errands in Zhu Dahu's hands, and Mrs. Zhu doesn't worry about having no one to take care of her in the future.

Du Yu looked at a row of women with curly hair standing behind Mrs. Zhu, ranging from forties to teens. These should be the youngest wives of Zhu Dahu.

There are so many, there are six of them in this row. It is said that this is what Mrs. Zhu said, so I brought them out today to meet the guests, or to help entertain the guests.

Those who did not come out are probably quite a few.

Zhu Dahu really has many concubines.The life of a rich family is beyond Du Yu's comprehension.

Because Mrs. Hu has the order of a seventh-rank child, and Mrs. Zhu is just the mistress of a merchant's family, so she has to salute Mrs. Hu. When she salutes, the row behind her has to salute, Mrs. Hu is exempt Mrs. Zhu saluted and was welcomed to the seat by Mrs. Zhu.

Mrs. Hu is the wife of the county magistrate and the leader of Pengze County, so even though it is Mrs. Zhu's birthday, these officials and wives must be the first ones. The one who came this time said Mrs. Qin, the wife of the county magistrate.

The diners naturally gathered together, and since it was Mrs. Zhu's birthday, usually the female relatives came the most.
