Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 89

"This girl, I'm really worried in the future, whether I can find her in-law's family, she is not like your Du Yu, she is sensible and obedient, she only has one mouth left!" Aunt Kang said worriedly.

"Her father is a scholar, so why worry about not being able to tell him? You are really worried." Hu said.

Speaking of this, Aunt Kang also became happy. Yes, her husband is a scholar, and he is very likely to be a Juren in the future. Her daughter's marriage is really not worrying.Even though Kang Ju looks very ordinary.

Although it is said that the township examination is only in autumn, firstly, here is still some distance from the provincial capital, and secondly, since we are going to take the examination, we have to go to the provincial capital first, so that we can learn from each other and learn from each other .

So after the Dragon Boat Festival, Du Youzhong set off, and the classes at the academy here couldn't be completed, but Dean Chu didn't stop Du Youzhong's training. Du Youzhong said: "Mr. Please also stop my Shuxiu from May, or I will be ashamed."

Dean Chu heard it, and it is not good to say anything about literati, they all have a bit of a noble temperament, and it is reasonable for Du Youzhong not to accept Shu Xiu who came for nothing, so he said: "Then I will not talk about this matter, but I also care about it." I don’t want to say anything depressing, but I’m still alive, so I have to ask for firewood, rice, oil and salt, if you’re unlucky this time, I’ll welcome you here anytime.”

What Dean Chu said was the truth. Originally, there were not many people who could pass the provincial examination. If Du Youzhong didn't win the exam, he would naturally have to wait for three years. It would be better to have an income in these three years.

"Thank you sir!" Du Youzhong bowed to Dean Chu.

"Hehe, let's not talk about this, I still hope that you can pass the exam, so that there will be more exams from our Jinxi Academy, and this old man has a big contribution."

Although Du Youzhong didn't want Shuxiu anymore, Dean Chu still let Du Dalang and Du Erlang continue to study in the academy as before, and the other families who were going to take the exam were the same. I really won, and I will move when I make plans.

During this period, Du Youzhong went back to Yangliu Village to bid farewell to the Qi family and Mr. Du.

Mrs. Qi gave Du Youzhong 20 taels of silver, and said, "When you go out, you should have more money in your hands so that you don't panic. Whether you win or not, we won't say anything here."

This is the same attitude as before when exclusive brothers were not allowed to study and take scientific examinations.He even took the initiative to give money.

Du Youzhong said: "Mother, take care of yourself at home." You don't have to be polite with your own mother. If you are polite, she will definitely be angry, so Du Youzhong took the money without ambiguity at all.

Qi's heart is still very distressed, 20 taels, if the boss doesn't pass the exam this time, it will be completely blind, but after thinking about it, he is still willing to take it out, without the boss, there will be no such good life as they are today.

He also told Du Youzhong to pay attention to safety and health on the road, "It can't be done, let Mrs. Hu go with you, you go alone, how can I rest assured?"

Du Youzhong hurriedly said: "Da Lang and the others still need someone to take care of them. Let their mother go away, and there will be no one there. It's not the first time for me to go out by myself at this age. I have also gone out to buy goods before. Going to the provincial capital this time, it’s not a big deal, so don’t worry, mother.”

"Why don't you let your third younger brother go with you, otherwise Mother won't be at ease here." Qi suggested.

"Mother, the third brother also has something to do." Du Youzhong said hastily, and he didn't want his brother to bother about his own affairs.

Qi said: "What's the matter, your current matter is the most important thing, so be it, I'll let your third brother know, it's not the time for farming, brothers, this point If you don’t help, what kind of brother are you?”

Du Youzhong wanted to persuade him, but the Qi family had already gone to call Du Youxian.

As soon as Du Youxian heard that he would go to the provincial capital with his elder brother, he immediately agreed. Du Youde and Du Youquan were both very envious, and they wanted to go too.Going to the provincial capital to see the world is not much better than staying in this village all the time?

Qi's idea is that if one more person goes, won't he only live in one house?At most it's food, but isn't it also food at home?
It doesn't cost a lot of money, just follow along, and the two brothers can still take care of them.In case they are really sick and they don't know, that would be terrible!

Du Youxian said: "It's the same when I drive my eldest brother to the provincial capital in a mule cart." In this way, the travel expenses are also saved.

Last year, their family also added a mule. The family has more land and one more animal, which makes it easier to work.

"That's even better," Qi said, "I'm relieved when you two take care of each other outside."

Du Youde and Du Youquan also said: "Big brother, third brother, you go out, don't worry about family matters, we are here."

The discussion is over, Du Youzhong and Du Youxian are going to the provincial capital together, the township examination is in autumn, so there is no need to bring heavy clothes, bid farewell to Mr. Du and the others, the two brothers will go to the academy first, and Mrs. Hu is relieved to see that Du Youxian is following Quite a lot.

The first time Du Youzhong took the exam for a scholar, it was completely hidden from the big guys, so she couldn't worry about it.This time I was much more worried.

In fact, there were quite a few people who went to the township examination with him this time. Let's just say that there is a Kang Xiucai in this academy.

Kang Xiucai's family saw that Du Youzhong had built a mule cart here, so they discussed with Du's family to take the cart together. This request is not too high, and it is more lively and safer if there are many people, so Du Youzhong and his brother have nothing to do. Opinion.

Du Youzhong and the others went to the provincial capital, and Du Yu and Da Lang also received a letter from Hu Xin who was traveling abroad. Hu Xin wrote in the letter that everything was fine for him. It's much better to stay on your own, tell them that everything is fine, don't worry, and don't forget to write to him, he will be in this place for a while, and everyone else said hello, and one more Seal the letter to the family and ask my cousin to take it back to the trustee.

"It's great that the big cousin is free and easy outside." Du Erlang looked envious.

Du Yu said: "Then the second elder brother should also hurry up and pass the examination as a scholar, so he can enjoy himself outside like the eldest cousin!"

Du Erlang's face collapsed, "I'm not as smart as my big cousin. If I want to be a scholar, how many years does it take?" It seems that I didn't have that luck to go out.

Du Dalang said with a smile: "If you are discouraged now, what can you do in the future? Read the letters written by the big cousin more in the future. If you read what he wrote in the letter, it is like going through it yourself."

After Du Youzhong went to the provincial capital, the Hu family lived in seclusion, so as not to cause trouble for their men.

If it weren't for the two sons studying in this academy, she would definitely have to go home.

After all, living here, she always feels that she has the idea of ​​taking advantage. Her husband is not teaching here, and there is one less teacher here, and she still lives in the house of the academy. She is really uneasy.

However, Mrs. Chu sent Mrs. Wang over a few times, and each time she came, she either brought some fruit or some snacks.

Mrs. Chu's eldest daughter-in-law, Yuan Shi, saw her mother-in-law delivering things to the Du family, and murmured in her heart. In the past, there were people who went to take the exam, and I had never seen her parents-in-law so caring.

Besides, even if she is admitted to Juren, she is only a small Juren, and her father-in-law is still a Jinshi, so there is no need to be so enthusiastic about others.

Do you have other plans?Yuan Shi was the daughter of Dean Chu in the same year, and now her father is still an official outside.

Yuan did not complain about her father-in-law's teaching in the academy instead of being an official. If she became an official and ran around all over the world, it would be better to go to the academy to settle down.

Unable to guess the thoughts of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Yuan Shi didn't bother to inquire about it, maybe her father-in-law loved talent again.

Not only Mrs. Yuan has such doubts, but Mrs. Chu also has the same doubts. Tell her lord to let her mind stop thinking about it.

Dean Chu smiled and said: "I think Du Youzhong and the others will be promising in the future. As for being nice to them, do you have to have any reason to be nice to them? They all came out of my academy. Our academy has followed suit."

"Then the master doesn't intend to get married in the future, does he?" Mrs. Chu asked.

You must know that Du Youzhong has two sons and a daughter, and there is also a nephew who was awarded a scholar.In their family, the eldest daughter of the boss is not much different from Du Youzhong's son in age.

But the Du family came from the countryside after all, and their family is still in the countryside now, how could they get married with such a person, how many good families in the county are waiting to marry them.

Dean Chu said: "There are no absolutes in everything, so don't think it's because of others. Maybe others think that people like us can't bear hardships, and they would rather find someone from the countryside."

Mrs. Chu was amused when she heard this, "This is really true, come on, you old man can't speak accurately. Although we are staying in the county seat now, we have a lot of connections. Just say that you have been a student for so many years, you can be regarded as There are so many peaches and plums in the world, where can we not find a good marriage? I advise you, when the time comes to find a marriage for our granddaughter, we must also ask her parents what they think, otherwise the elders and younger generations will be at odds, and the loss outweighs the gain. .”

Mrs. Chu didn't mean to blame the Du family. In short, let's take a look at it later. Everyone has their own fortune. If Du Xiucai didn't pass the Juren exam this time, it is absolutely impossible to get married with them.

Moreover, Du Xiucai's son is not very old, maybe he is not happy to get married so early.

After a while, the eldest aunt Dulan had a happy event. She made an engagement for the eldest brother, Da Shuanzi. Da Shuanzi is 16 years old this year. At this age, it is time to find a marriage.The eldest uncle and the eldest aunt's family, the family conditions are very good, there are crafts, and there is an uncle who is a scholar, so there are many families who want to get married.
