When Zhang Hongwen saw Mr. coming, he was overjoyed, and stepped forward to give a salute first, and replied: "The student brought Du Jinning from the same village to come over to meet the mountain chief." Only then did he point to Du Jinning, "Sir, this is the Du Jinning I told you before, she has excellent qualifications and will never forget it." ”

Saying that, he introduced Du Jinning again: "This is my teacher, surnamed Huang, and also your fourth uncle's teacher." ”

Du Jinning hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Du Jinning has seen Mr. Huang. ”

Mr. Huang glanced at her, nodded, turned his head to Zhang Hongwen and said gently, "You guys wait here, I'll go in first." ”

"Yes." Zhang Hongwen watched Huang Chengming enter the house, turned his head and winked at Du Jinning, signaling her to be calm.

Du Jinning smiled at him very gratefully.

This Mr. Huang she once heard the fourth uncle mention that he was a lifter in his early years, and he had a very good personal relationship with his uncle and grandfather when he was young, and even if he won the lift, it would not affect the friendship between the two. The fourth uncle's qualifications are not good, but he can worship under Huang Chengming, and when he enters this Boyue Academy, Huang Chengming looks at his uncle and grandfather.

Listening to Zhang Hongwen's tone just now, I think I have already told Huang Chengming about her situation in private. So whether it is in the face of her uncle or the fourth uncle and Zhang Hongwen, Huang Chengming will say a few kind words for her, which is very beneficial to her, at least the mountain chief will give her a chance, right?

It didn't take long for Guan Jiaze to come out of it and beckoned to Du Jinning: "Come, come in." He said to Zhang Hongwen again, "Mr. Huang is also here, you can come in too." ”

Du Jinning and Zhang Hongwen followed him into the house, and saw an uncle in his forties with beautiful hair sitting on the top, while Huang Chengming was sitting on the guest seat, and Du Jinning's eyes fell on her as soon as she entered the door.

"I've seen the mountain chief, I've seen Mr." Zhang Hongwen bowed.

Du Jinning also gave his hand: "Du Jinning has seen the mountain chief and Mr. Huang." ”

"Oh? Do you know Mr. Huang? Guan Lehe stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and asked.

"At the door just now, Brother Zhang introduced me." Du Jinning replied, "At home, I also heard my uncle and fourth uncle mention Mr. Huang. ”

Zhang Hongwen was a little anxious when he heard this, glanced at Du Jinning reproachfully, raised his head and winked at Huang Chengming apologetically.

Huang Chengming came over at this time, which was naturally the result of his begging for a long time, and the original intention was to let his husband beat the side drum next to him and help Du Jinning say good things. But this is all based on the fact that the mountain chief does not know the relationship between Mr. and Du Jinning. If you know, not only will your husband not be able to say good things for Du Jinning, but he will come here so coincidentally today, and he will also be suspected of deliberately calculating, which will cause the mountain chief to be suspicious of Mr.

Du Jinning has another idea. If she entered the academy, Du Yinsheng's relationship with Mr. Huang would not be able to be hidden. If you can't hide it, it's better to say it now, and get a candid impression.

If she turns it out again in the future, it will be nothing to her, after all, she is a child, and she entered the academy with the ability to study, as long as she has good grades, it doesn't matter if the mountain chief has a bad impression of her, and she is not allowed to prepare for the imperial examination.

But Mr. Huang is different, which will make Guan Shanchang feel that he is a calculating villain. Mr. Huang was helping her, but she had a bad impression in front of her boss, so she naturally refused to hurt Mr. Huang like this.

Huang Chengming is in his fifties, where do you not know the sophistication of these people? Naturally, he had already greeted Guan Lehe, but his little apprentice didn't know it stupidly. Now seeing Du Jinning talking like this, he raised his eyebrows, he was very surprised, and I don't know if Du Jinning did it intentionally, or because he didn't have a city government than his own stupid apprentice, what did he say.

He couldn't help but look at Du Jinning again, thinking in his heart.

Guan Lehe nodded, and asked again: "I heard Jiaze say, you never forget?" ”

(Ancient scholars generally referred to each other's characters as a sign of respect.) But everyone corresponds to one word, which will make the name of the novel seem confusing, and the names of people are too complicated, and people will sometimes be confused and not know who this person is. So for the sake of simplicity, in the future, when they speak, I will ask them to call them by their names instead of words, so I will explain here)

Du Jinning hesitated for a moment, then arched his hand and said, "Young Master Guan has a good reputation, and the kid just has a slightly better memory than ordinary people." ”

"Oh?" Guan Lehe frowned, his face suddenly sank, and he turned to Guan Jiaze and said, "Look at you, he obviously doesn't forget, but you exaggerated in front of me and recommended him to me, isn't this nonsense?" ”

Guan Jiaze's family is illustrious, and the old lady in the family is also very fond of him, and he has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is afraid of this uncle who is the chief of the mountain. Besides, he was only thirteen years old, he was still young, and when he was blamed by Guan Lehe, he immediately panicked, and stepped forward to bow his head and admit his mistake: "The student didn't investigate clearly, so he took people to the mountain chief without authorization, and the student was at fault, so please ask the mountain chief to punish him." ”

Guan Lehe blamed his nephew on the surface, but his eyes quietly glanced at Du Jinning, but he saw that the child just looked up at him, and then lowered his head again, neither panicked, nor frustrated that he couldn't get his wish, he was very calm, and he was a little puzzled about this child.

Guan Jiaze came in just now, praised Du Jinning, and said that he wanted Du Jinning to enter the academy, Guan Lehe couldn't help but think about it, and specially asked about the process of the two getting acquainted with each other, and intuitively felt that this Du Jinning was tricking his nephew, who was not deeply involved in the world and full of enthusiasm, in order to achieve the purpose of entering the academy and even worshipping him under the mountain chief.

Although he later saw Du Jinning himself, he found that she was thin and small, dressed in tattered clothes, handsome eyebrows, and clear eyes, which was very different from the scheming person he imagined, but he still made a test to see the child's heart.

If he has excellent qualifications, but has a bad character and a bad heart, then he will not allow Du Jinning to enter the academy. The more talented a person is with a bad heart, the greater the harm. As the chief of the mountain, he couldn't bear this kind of thing the most.

But I didn't want him to be unable to see through Du Jinning!

A little child, still a country boy, has never studied, is his scheming deeper than that of a mountain chief in his forties?

Guan Lehe does not believe this.

Zhang Hongwen, who was standing next to Du Jinning, had a panicked expression on his face, and turned his head to look at his teacher Huang Chengming for help, which was the normal reaction of a child when he encountered such a situation.

He said to Guan Jiaze: "You go outside and kneel, if I don't wake up, you will keep kneeling." ”
