Chapter 36: Changing Attitudes
PS: I've seen everyone's urgings. In the past few days, relatives have come, the study has been converted into a guest room, the desktop and laptop computers are occupied by the children of relatives to play games, I have to cook and play all day long, the posts are sent by mobile phones, and the few manuscripts are almost bottomed out, and there is really no way to add more. Fortunately, the relatives are gone this afternoon. And allow me to code a few days and add more.

Zhang Hongwen's brows furrowed: "Female households can be exempted from military service and reduced taxes, but the investigation is very tight, and it is not easy to be accommodating." When I found out, my father would go to prison at least and lose his head at worst. ”
"Ah, sorry, I don't know." Du Jinning smiled embarrassedly. She really didn't know any of this, so she seemed to have to look for the law books of this era.
"You're young, and no one tells you this, it's normal to not know." Zhang Hongwen waved his hand, but he didn't blame Du Jinning.
"Well, what then? The situation of our family, you also know, if we don't divide it, not to mention the bad life, my sisters are afraid that they will be ruined. Du Jinning sighed, glanced at Zhang Hongwen, and asked, "What about changing the age?" Isn't it hard to change my age by two years? ”
Zhang Hongwen is also very sympathetic to Du Jinning. He didn't have much contact with Du Jinning before, and he had the impression that he was just a timid and silent skinny child. These two contacts made him have a great change in his opinion of Du Jinning, Du Jinning's intelligence really amazed him, and he also regretted that he couldn't study with Du Jinning's qualifications, which was a terrible thing.
So if he can help Du Jinning without harming his father's interests, he is naturally willing to reach out.
Zhang Hongwen thought for a while and reminded: "You must know that once you change your age and start a household, you will have to serve as a conscriptor at that time, which is not a trivial matter. And can you really divide your grandparents and grandmothers? Not to mention the ancestral training of the parents who are there and do not separate the family, if you just divide it, the land in the second room of the Du family can only be shared, and when the time comes, you will have to share a part of the grain to others, which your grandmother probably will not agree to. Otherwise, with their suspicion of you, why don't they divide your room early? ”
It seems that the reputation of Niu's stinginess is known to the whole village, and even Zhang Hongwen, who only reads sage books, has heard of it.
"Divide the family and change the age." Du Jinning said.
Zhang Hongwen frowned: "I have to go back and ask my father about this." You also know that if you change your age to a younger age, even if it is a year or two younger, you can pay less for exemption from military service. Therefore, for the change of age, the court is also not allowed. But I don't know if this is so strictly checked by a female household. After all, if you change your age to a younger age, it will also cost you money, but the money saved for exemption is not much, and if someone goes to sue, the punishment will only be more severe, and the gains outweigh the losses. If there are not many such cases, the investigation may not be so strict. ”
Du Jinning stood up and gave Zhang Hongwen a formal salute: "In this way, there will be Brother Lao Zhang." ”
Zhang Hongwen hurriedly avoided it, waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite, I didn't help you anything." ”
The two sat down again, and Du Jinning changed the topic: "That Guan Qi Young Master, do you know each other?" ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Hongwen was also much more relaxed, and said with a smile: "I know him, but he doesn't know me." His name is Guan Jiaze, the nephew of the head of our academy, who is only one year older than me, but he has already studied in Class A, and his grades are very good, and his name is in the top ten every time. I heard that he will be able to give it a try next year, and with his ability, it will not be difficult to make a show. ”
"Class A? How many classes do you have in each class? Du Jinning asked curiously.
"There are four classes: A, B, C, and D. The number of students in each class varies. Class A has the smallest number of students, with only 17; Twenty-eight in Class B and thirty-five in Class C. Class D had the largest number of people, with fifty-six. ”
"What class are you in, big brother Zhang?"
The corners of Zhang Hongwen's mouth hooked, and there was a faint smug look on his face: "I only entered last year, and after the exam, I directly entered Class C." I was promoted to Class B in August this year. ”
"Wow, Brother Zhang, you're amazing." Du Jinning did not hesitate to praise him.
Zhang Hongwen's face turned red, a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic: "What do you ask Guan Jiaze to do?" ”
"The last time I bought a script, didn't he say that if he had a new script, he would go to him? I haven't written it yet, but I already have an idea in my head, and I can start writing today. I'm going to look for him when I'm done. It's just that I saw that you left early and returned late, and I want to come to that Guan Qi Young Master like this. So ask him about it. ”
When Zhang Hongwen heard this, he enthusiastically came up with an idea: "We have a bath every ten days, and we usually go out early and return late, and we rarely have time at home." You can go to the academy to find him. He is very famous in the academy, as long as you don't go to class, you can find him by asking. Although we can't come and go at will, we don't have a problem calling him out. ”
Du Jinning nodded.
Zhang Hongwen came to talk to Du Jinning and get acquainted. At this time, it was not early, so I said goodbye and went home.
During this period, Du Chensheng, who was sitting in the room and reading, didn't read a single page of the book.
Du Jinning is now temporarily showing her head, and even the young master of the Li Chang family took the initiative to come to make friends with her, which shows that if she wants to suppress her in the future, she is afraid that she will not be able to do it.
He sighed, looked at the thin figure who sent Zhang Hongwen back, and didn't move for a long time.
After a long time, he said to Niu, who was sitting in the house with an insoles: "You go and call Brother Ning." ”
"Huh?" Niu's eyes widened.
In addition to beating and scolding, they have never taken the initiative to talk to Du Jinning, for fear of being restrained by her. How can this old man be abnormal?
Du Chensheng was in a bad mood, and he looked down on Niu's stupid appearance very much, and his eyes glared: "If you are told to go, you will go." ”
"Oh." was glared at by Du Chensheng, and the Niu family was habitually obedient. She put the insoles down and got up to go out. It wasn't until he walked into the courtyard that he realized that he shouldn't follow the old man, he should stop him.
But she didn't bother to turn back, lest she have to run again. She patted Du Jinning's door hard, and said fiercely: "Didn't you say you were depressed?" Why do people close the door as soon as they leave? Dead cub, not very old, not small, all day long I know to make the old lady hearty, the old lady should have ......drowned you in the first place"
"Old woman!" Du Chensheng roared from the other end, "Tell you to let her come over, what are you chirping crookedly?" ”
Niu's words were interrupted, she was angry, but she didn't dare to say anything, she only felt that the old man was weird today, and she didn't know if she had taken the wrong medicine, so she only glared at Du Jinning and said, "Your grandfather called you over." ”
Niu's mouth is a dung pit, and he will never be able to spit out good words, Du Jinning has long been used to it, he only listens to the wind in his ears, and he never bothered to listen to what she scolds.
Hearing Du Chensheng call her, she stood up expressionlessly and walked towards the main room of the Du family, curious about what Du Chensheng wanted to do when she asked her to go over.
However, she guessed that it shouldn't be a bad thing, otherwise Du Chensheng wouldn't have interrupted Niu's words just now. In the past, no matter how vicious the Niu clan scolded, Du Chensheng turned a deaf ear and never stopped him, but today it is abnormal.
As soon as you enter the main room, there is a hall with a table of eight immortals on it, and there are several chairs with backrests next to the table. In the innermost part is a long case with a large porcelain vase on it; The right hand goes in again, it is Du Chensheng's study, the furnishings inside are very neat, there is no shortage of bookcases, bookshelves, Bogu shelves, potted plants, antique, it can be seen that the second room of the Du family has a bit of family background and heritage.
Seeing this, Du Jinning's eyes not only did not have envy, but a touch of ridicule flashed.
"Grandfather, you called me?" She asked calmly.
Du Chensheng has been looking at Du Jinning since she entered the house. At this time, I have to admit that this child, who has never been looked at and hated by him, is the dragon and phoenix among people.
