Zheng Lin has no land at home, but he has a lot of strength, and learned a few kung fu from others, when he was young, he worked in the county dart bureau, and later was injured in the process of transporting darts, almost went to half his life, and after the injury was healed, he was also left with a disability, walking with a limp, and his left hand was also a little inconvenient, and he could not do farm work. He bought a mule cart with the silver taels sent by the dart board, which was specially used to transport them back and forth, earning a few hard-earned money to make ends meet.

Zheng Lin collects money fairly, and each person who goes to the county only charges five cents for a car, so the business is okay.

According to the memory of the original owner, Du Jinning went to the bridge in the west of the village, and sure enough, he saw a mule cart parked there, but Zheng Lin was not there.

She was not in a hurry, she went directly to the courtyard surrounded by mud walls next to her, and shouted loudly: "Uncle Zheng, are you at home?" ”

The door opened, and Zheng Tao'er's face protruded from inside. Seeing Du Jinning, she was quite surprised, and asked with a smile: "Brother Ning, what are you looking for my father?" ”

"I have something to go to the county, and I want to bother Uncle Zheng to make a trip."

Zheng Taoer was even more surprised.

She is the best friend of the Du family sisters, what is the situation of the third room, where would she not know? That's if you want to eat a penny of salt, you have to go to the Chen family to carry wood for people to earn it back, and the pocket is cleaner than anything else on weekdays, where will there be extra money to take the car?

Moreover, what did Du Jinning do in the county?

She was about to ask, Zheng Lin opened another door with a bowl of corn paste, and smiled at Du Jinning: "Brother Ning is going to the county?" Wait for me a while, and I'll finish these few mouthfuls of mush. As he spoke, he took the bowl and poured it into his mouth.

"Uncle Zheng, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."

In fact, Du Jinning is still quite anxious, but the world is the biggest eater, and she is not good at urging people to eat.

Fortunately, Zheng Lin did things simply, and ate the corn paste in a few bites, and the remaining pickles were bitten in his mouth, and he handed the bowl to Zheng Tao'er, wiped his mouth with his hand, and went out: "Go." ”

Du Jinning is not bad at money in modern times, and he has always been generous; Even if he wore it in ancient times, he became a poor and white country tomboy, with little money in his pocket, and he didn't become a button-and-nohold. Zheng Lin didn't say how much it was, nor did she say that she would have to wait for a few more people before leaving, so she naturally didn't say anything.

Zheng Lin untied the rope of the mule, put on the car, sat on the wheel himself, and shouted: "Get in the car." Seeing Du Jinning get on the mule cart, he threw off the horse leash, "Drive." The mule cart started slowly and headed towards the county seat.

Du Jinning was worried that Zheng Lin would ask her why she went to the county seat, so she had already thought of an excuse in her heart. But Zheng Lin seemed to have a lot of professional ethics, and he didn't ask about this kind of privacy, but asked about her physical condition, and said: "It's cold and windy, you sit down, I'm going to hurry up." So saying, he shut up and stopped gossiping, but drove the mule cart as fast as he could.

Because of this, this time they entered the city faster than when Du Jinning and Chen hired a car to come back, and it didn't take long to enter the city.

Du Jinning said: "Uncle Zheng, do you know where Boyue Academy is?" If you know, you can drive the car directly to the gate of the academy, and I will give you the money. ”

"Yes. It's okay, it's not far, no need to add money. Zheng Lin said with a smile. Due to the large number of people in the city, he deliberately slowed down his speed.

After a while, the mule cart stopped at the entrance of the academy.

Du Jinning jumped out of the car and asked Zheng Lin: "How much?" ”

"Wuwen."

Du Jinning raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Lin, who still had a scar on his face and looked a little vicious: "Uncle Zheng, I have money, you can collect as much as you want." Otherwise, I'll be embarrassed to ride in your car next time. ”

"Confiscation is less. It just so happens that I am also going to the county, and I still earn five cents from you all the way, otherwise I will run away in vain. Zheng Lin said with a smile.

Du Jinning knew that Zheng Lin had taken care of her. Because of the lack of people, he had to wait for three or five people before he went to the county seat. If there are few people, then it will cost six or seven yuan. A person like her sits, and it is sent directly to the designated place in the city, and it will definitely not work without ten cents.

Her heart was warm, but she didn't shirk Zheng Lin's kindness, took out five cents from her arms and handed it to him, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Zheng." ”

Zheng Lin didn't say anything, smiled at her, and drove the mule cart back.

Only then did Du Jinning raise his head and look towards the gate of Boyue Academy.

This Boyue Academy is built on a small hillside on the edge of the county, and the gate is also standing on the slope, like the archway that Du Jinning saw in later generations, it is extremely tall and very imposing, and there are several big characters of "Boyue Academy" in the book.

At this time, the gate of the academy was closed, and the side doors on both sides were also tightly closed. There was also a hut next to the side door, presumably where the gatekeeper stayed.

Du Jinning walked over and knocked on the door of the hut.

After a while, the door opened, and an old man in his fifties stepped out. He glanced Du Jinning up and down a few times and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Du Jinning bowed and said, "Young Master Guan Qi in the academy made an appointment with me and asked me to come to him. ”

"Oh?" The old man raised an eyebrow.

If he were to find someone else, he might not tell him. After all, the child in front of him is not very old, and he is dressed in tatters, not like the Guan family's family or subordinates at all, I am afraid that where will he come to find Qiufeng's poor relatives, because the Guan family is not allowed to come to the door, so he found here.

But when it comes to Guan Jiaze, he doesn't dare to slack off. This academy was built by the Guan family, and the mountain chief is also a member of the Guan family. If this kid was really called by Guan Qi Young Master, then if he didn't report it, the position of guarding the door would be unstable.

It was the lunch break time in Hengzhu Academy, and Young Master Guan Qi had never stopped, and it was just an errand run, nothing to do.

He said, "Wait." So saying, he locked the door of his hut, opened the corner door and went in, and closed the corner door with his hand.

Du Jinning found a sheltered place and waited outside.

Thinking that the academy is relatively large, it takes time to walk in and come out, and after about a cup of tea, the old man opened the door, but he didn't come out immediately, but smiled and respectfully signaled inside, Guan Jiaze wore a stone blue muslin cotton robe, and walked out of it.

Du Jinning hurriedly trotted over.

"Huh, it's you?" Guan Jiaze obviously remembered Du Jinning, and when he saw her, he was a little surprised, but he quickly became happy, "Have a new script?" ”

Du Jinning took out the script from his arms and handed it to Guan Jiaze.

Guan Jiaze took it and planned to look at it, but when he looked at Du Jinning, he changed his mind and asked her, "How much?" ”

"That...... This is a bit long, about three books in length, and I've only written a part of it now, which is the one you have in your hand. You see if you want to buy it. Du Jinning said.
