Du Heqing was a little annoyed and angry by his daughter's laughter at first, but when he listened to the cause and effect, he felt that Du Yuniang was right.

How difficult it is to take the imperial examination! Ten miles and eight villages have been able to produce a talent for decades, and that is all blessed by the ancestors! Not to mention the promotion of people in the exam, Jinshi! As for the champion, that's something I can't even think of!

Why did he have to marry Yu Niang to Chi Xiucai in the first place? It's not that someone else has passed the test, not Bai Ding? He felt that Chi Xiucai would be able to make a difference in the future, so he thought about using the love of the two families to settle the family affairs. But who would have thought about what would happen later?

How old is the tiger!? He started his enlightenment late, and after reading it for so many years, he hasn't finished reading the Analects! Now I want to go to high school, and the matter of being an official is like an idiot's dream!

Du Heqing himself is embarrassed!

"Well, this person, as soon as he gets older, he thinks about it every day."

Du Yuniang didn't demolish him either, and said with a straight face: "Dad, I think it's good that you think so, it's prescient!" In the future, you will wait for Huzi to give you a Jinshi and come back! So that we can change the door of our family, so that you can raise your eyebrows and breathe a sigh of relief! ”

Du Heqing shook his head and waved his hand, "I don't dare to think about it!" Yu Niang, if I can live to watch Huzi pass the exam, I will be content! ”

"Didn't you just worry about Huzi being an official and having no help at home! Why is it only a moment of work, and you are content with a show in the tiger? Du Yuniang blinked and deliberately teased Du Heqing.

Du Heqing's face was hot, but he didn't admit it in his mouth, he glared at him, and said: "That's not Yang Zheng's kid, it's good to talk about the Gongyuan, I'm letting him take it to the ditch." ”

With a chirp, a big pot was directly buckled on Yang Zheng's head.

Du Yuniang didn't dismantle him, and nodded thoughtfully, "I think so!" Next time, I have to talk about Brother Yang, don't talk nonsense about everything! Look at it, talk about it, you take it seriously, don't you? ”

"I'm not taking it seriously!" Du Heqing glared, "I was taken to the ditch by him!" You talk about him, what do you say about the students of Jiangnan Gongyuan, they are the most outstanding, and they will be the pillars of the country in the future, you say that I listened, can you not think about it? ”

Du Yuniang secretly held back a smile and kept nodding, "Yes, isn't it, it's up to him for this matter!" ”

Du He cleared his throat and stopped talking.

"Okay, then you can show me around." In fact, he had already walked around just now, and he was uncomfortable.

Du Yuniang acted as if she didn't know, took Du Heqing around again, and told him what she thought.

"Yu Niang, this Wuyan Town is much bigger than our Taoxi Town, there are so many shops selling dim sum, can you make money if you open it again?"

Du Yuniang smiled, "Dad, don't worry, you don't want to think about it, what did I rely on to get started!" ”

How did you start your business? It's not the red bean cake that I made at the beginning!

"Since you know it in your heart, then I won't say anything! However, you have to remember that you are already married, you are someone's wife, and you can't be as willful as when you were a child. ”

Du Yuniang said: "Dad, don't worry, I will." ”

"Well, it's almost, let's go back!"

He is like an arrow, and he can't wait to listen to what Yang Zheng said to Huzi now, and he can't stay for a moment.

"Alright, let's go back!"

Du Yuniang locked the door and followed Du Heqing back to Mao'er Hutong along the same road.

As soon as the two entered the courtyard, a small door not far from the alley was secretly opened by someone. It was a long time before the door was shut, as if nothing had happened.

Du Yuniang and Du Heqing didn't know that someone was staring at them, and as soon as the father and daughter entered the hospital, Sister-in-law Jiang greeted them.

Du Yuniang asked her: "Have you finished talking?" ”

Sister-in-law Jiang shook her head and closed the door casually.

Du Heqing wanted to see through it, but the door of the upper room was closed tightly, and he couldn't see anything, so he could only be anxious.

Du Yuniang asked Jiang to make some tea for Du Heqing, but where did Du Heqing have the heart to drink tea!

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Yang Zheng and Du Ansheng to come out of the house.

Du Heqing breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time found that his mouth was very dry, and his whole body was sweating.

Du Yuniang hurriedly asked Sister-in-law Jiang to set up a table in the courtyard, cut watermelons, and made tea for a few people again, and then everyone sat down to talk.

The breeze is blowing, drinking tea and eating watermelon, it feels very comfortable.

Du Heqing drank three cups of tea before he felt alive again.

Seeing him drinking like this, Du Ansheng couldn't help but say worriedly: "Dad, are you going to fight wolves?" How can you be so thirsty? ”

"You stinky boy, how do you talk?" Du Heqing glared at Du Ansheng, and he couldn't say that he was nervous in front of his son-in-law, so he shirked and said, "I've been dry lately and I've drunk more, what's wrong?" ”

Du Ansheng frowned, "Dad, I see that you seem to have lost a little weight recently, you can eat and drink, and your mouth is ......dry."

"You speak to me."

"I mean, are you suffering from thirst quenching?"

Du Yuniang didn't hold back on the side, and let out a loud snort.

Du Heqing's face was super ugly at this time.

Is thirst fever a good disease? That's a terrible disease, it's the most annoying! Boss Qi on the corner of the street got this disease, and after six or seven years of work, he was as thin as he was dry, and he was waiting to die.

"Ahh You stinky boy, you're going to talk nonsense. ”

Du Yuniang had no choice but to come out to play a round, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, my father just went to the shop with me, there was a big sun, and I walked a little hurrier on the road, so I was thirsty." As soon as I entered the hospital, I made tea, and I didn't drink it in my mouth for a long time, can I not be thirsty? ”

Du Ansheng nodded, and he didn't tear her down.

Obviously, my father couldn't sit still, but he said that he was fine.

"That, Zhengzi, what did Huzi say, what did you discuss??" In the end, he couldn't hold back, Du Heqing still opened his mouth and asked.

Du Ansheng was happy, "Dad, my brother-in-law told me a lot about Jiangnan Gongyuan, and I can be regarded as a long insight!" Du Ansheng said that he was talking about who the teachers in the academy were, what year they were born as Jinshi, what kind of temperament they liked, what kind of students they liked, and what hobbies they had......

Anyway, it was as if he himself had been with those people for decades, and he talked about everything, no matter how big or small.

Where did Du Heqing understand this, and immediately stretched out his hand to stop Du Ansheng's words, "Stop!" I don't know any of those people, so it's useless to say what you say! Tell me if you're going or not! ”

In fact, Du Heqing himself also understands in his heart that Huzi has talked about this, can he not go!

"Go! How not to go. Du Ansheng picked up a piece of watermelon, gnawed it on his own, and said while gnawing it: "Sister, you are really extravagant, this month's watermelon is expensive, and you are willing to eat it." ”

Du Yuniang stretched out her hand to poke his forehead, "You have no conscience, if you and your father hadn't come, I could have bought this?" "This watermelon is grown in a greenhouse, but it is precious! It will take more than two months for the watermelons in the field to come down! When I first came down, it was also expensive, and only the rich and noble could afford it.

Ordinary people, who is willing to buy this to eat.

"Okay, I was wrong!" Du Ansheng disposed of the melon skin, shook the watermelon juice in his hand, and said, "Anyway, I'm going to decide!" I discussed it with my brother-in-law. ”

A mouthful of a brother-in-law, Du Heqing is jealous!

"If you dare to be affectionate, you can discuss it with your brother-in-law, I don't need to discuss it with such a big living person?"

Du Ansheng smirked, "Dad, you are responsible for taking the money!" My brother-in-law said that the academy is not expensive, there is a vegetable patch in the backyard, the academy can afford to eat the vegetables, the price of room and board is reasonable, counting the cost of books, the charcoal fire money in winter, and the money for two sets of clothes in the four seasons, in fact, there are not many! Our family can afford it. ”

Du Heqing made a face, "Huzi, it's no problem to go to Jiangnan, you have a chance, you grow up, it's too late for my father to be happy!" But let's put the ugly words in front of you, you are going to study, not to have fun, if you let me know that you don't study well, and what kind of vice is contaminated like Du Shiyi, beware of Lao Tzu picking your skin! ”

Du Ansheng hurriedly promised, "Dad, don't worry!" Besides, I don't dare! My brother-in-law said that he wants to match me with a scholar to follow, and he has to find someone to watch me! I just have that heart, and I don't have that guts, if I really go there to mess around, I will lose my brother-in-law's face! I will never do it, I must study hard. ”

Du Yuniang glanced at Yang Zheng in surprise, but she didn't expect that he would even consider this kind of thing.

Du Heqing hurriedly said: "Zhengzi, why are you still looking for a scholar?" Can people pay tribute? "He's not bad for a few dollars, it's just that Huzi can go to the Gongyuan to study, which is an exceptional thing in itself, and bringing a scholar is a bit eye-catching!

"Dad, it's okay!" Yang Zheng knew what Du Heqing was worried about, and explained: "Jiangnan Gongyuan is very strictly managed, although most of the students in it are nobles, but don't even think about such things as taking scholars and servants. However, there are special exceptions this year, starting from this year, Jiangnan Gongyuan began to recruit some talented and intelligent, no more than twelve years old children, especially indicate the age, you can bring a scholar with an entourage, Huzi is enough to meet the conditions. ”

"Is that so?" Du Heqing nodded, "That's better!" However, it doesn't matter if a child like Huzi goes? ”

"With the name of Scholar Cai, you can put a hundred hearts. As long as the tiger fights hard and studies hard, he will definitely be able to stay in the tribute courtyard. ”

Jiangnan Gongyuan has a rotation examination system, and the small examination is conducted once a month, and their results are assessed by the gentlemen of each subject of the Gongyuan. Those who fail to pass the assessment twice in a row, regardless of their origins, have to leave the Tribute Academy.

"Huzi, did you hear that? You have to fight hard to live up to your brother-in-law Fei's hard work! Du Heqing can be regarded as a bitter woman, the worries in his heart before have long disappeared, and now he wants his son to study hard.

Du Yuniang was thoughtful.

Yang Zheng glanced at her quietly, and then turned his head to Du Heqing and said: "Dad, I have arranged a candidate for the scholar, that child is two years older than Huzi, and he is also literate and hyphenated, and he has some fists and feet, and he knows the rules very well." With him with Huzi, you can rest assured! In addition, in the Gongyuan, there are also people I know, I have already arranged, in terms of assessment, no one will take care of Huzi, but in life, you can rest assured! ”

Du Heqing nodded hurriedly, "You are the most stable in doing things, I can rest assured!" Zhengzi, thanks to you! ”

"One family doesn't talk two words." Yang Zheng asked Huzi again, "Do you remember what I told you?" ”

Du Ansheng nodded heavily, "I remember it all!" Don't cause trouble, don't be afraid! I don't bully others, but if someone wants to bully me, I can't! Also, I have collected the letter from my brother-in-law, and when I am familiar with the situation of the college, I will go to visit the gentleman. ”

Yang Zheng smiled and nodded, "Yes!" ”

Du Heqing heard this, and he was even more grateful to Yang Zheng, although Yang Zheng was half of him, but who would be willing to get involved in such a troublesome matter! In the future, if Huzi really has a chance, then Yang Zheng will be the number one hero of the old Du family!

"Okay, okay, I'm relieved!" Du Heqing suddenly slapped his thigh, "By the way, when will you go?" What do I need to bring? How is Huzi going to go? ”

Yang Zheng said: "You just wait at home, I will arrange someone to take Huzi to Beijing, the specific time, it may be mid-April!" Take the dry road first, then take the water road, it will take about 20 days to arrive! When Huzi arrives, write a letter to home, and I will have someone bring it back to you. ”

"Hey, good, good!"

"As for the things, they are nothing more than food, eat less, prepare less, and bring money! There is no need for bedding, and when Huzi arrives at the academy, he lacks nothing. ”

Du Heqing was a little excited when he listened.

"Okay, Yang Zheng, I'll leave this matter to you! I haven't been far away, so I'm going to entrust it to you. ”

Yang Zheng hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'll let Brother Hu go, don't you also know him as a person, and you also know Huzi." ”

Du Heqing was overjoyed, as soon as he heard that he was a person he knew, his heart was even more steady!

The two of them were in a good mood, and after having lunch at Du's house, they rushed home.

Du Yuniang's interest has not been very high, and she always feels as if she has overlooked something important, but she just can't remember it.

Yang Zheng also saw it, so he asked her if she was uncomfortable, and Du Yuniang couldn't say it, she always felt that something was weird.

"I see you're tired, let's sleep for a while!"

Du Yuniang didn't even have the strength to refute, so she simply fell directly on the big kang near the window, dreaming that Zhou Gong would go.

Yang Zheng drew the design of the shop again, he wanted to design a particularly good shop for his little daughter-in-law, so that she could be happy. He's going to leave in a few days, and he's trying to settle the plan before he leaves.

As a result, his drawings were only drawn for two pages, and Du Yuniang suddenly sat up from the kang, her apricot eyes were wide open, her forehead was full of sweat, and her bangs were wet!

Yang Zheng frowned, hurried over, and touched her head, "Did you have a nightmare......
