Du Fangling Qi said: "If you don't carry wood, how can there be wooden planks and oil and salt?" ”

Chen Shi glanced at her lightly: "Don't ask more, I have a way." ”

Chen's deterrence in front of her daughters was still quite sufficient, and seeing her displeasure on her face, Du Fangling suddenly didn't dare to ask.

Remembering the matter of giving the money to the Chen family, Du Jinning didn't sleep soundly all night, and woke up just after dawn. Rao is like this, the Chen family and the others all got up earlier than her, and this time they have already washed up and eaten breakfast, and are ready to go to work.

Du Jinning took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the house, took out the eighty yuan from the hole in the wall, and stuffed it for her when Chen was about to leave. Chen Shi felt a large handful of copper coins in his hand, and he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "You don't need so much, just have twenty wen." ”

The trees on the back hill are all from the village. If every family wants to build a house and plank a bed, they can go to the mountains and cut down trees. As long as the amount is not large, and it is not the kind of mature tree, and it is not shipped out for sale, no one will care. The place where the money is spent is to sawn the wood into planks, and the old lady of the carpenter's family, who is native to the village, takes pity on her and only charges her ten cents at most.

There are ten wen left, and you can buy some oil and salt to come back.

Su Yuwan also knew that this copper plate was quite heavy, and it would sometimes jingle when placed in his pocket, which was easy for people to find. It's just nothing else, the Niu family is the most sensitive to money, if she knows that the Chen family has money, maybe something will happen.

She had to carry a few sisters on her back, counted twenty yuan, and then stuffed it to the Chen family.

Seeing the Chen family leave, Du Jinning was about to take out the two notebooks that Du Yunchang gave her last night to take a look, when she heard footsteps outside, she quickly stuffed the books into the futon.

"Knock", there was a knock on the door, and Du Fangling's voice came from outside: "Brother Ning, open the door." ”

Du Jinning was puzzled, got out of bed and opened the door, and asked Du Fangling, "What happened?" ”

Du Fangling didn't speak, turned around and closed the door, approached Du Jinning, stared at her and asked, "Where did you get the copper coin?" ”

Du Jinning was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the scene just now wanted to be known by Du Fangling. This sister had always been hostile to her, and she didn't want her to know about the sale of her scripts.

She said: "Uncle and grandfather gave it, and he was afraid that we would encounter the first two times again, so he gave me a hundred wen." My mother also knows about this. ”

Du Jinning's face was slightly pale.

She stared at Du Jinning for a while and asked, "Does Grandfather want to take you to the big house?" ”

Du Jinning was stunned again, and then nodded.

Du Fangling's eyebrows frowned, and she said in a low voice: "Don't think that you can live a good life by following the past." You went over there, you are the heir of your uncle, and you usually have to spend money on studying and eating, but if you spend more here, Brother Fu will have less; In the future, your uncle and grandfather will be a hundred years later, and you will have to share a share of the family property, do you think about whether the fourth aunt is willing? Don't be stupid and believe others when they say a few good words. If you go over there, you will be angry in the future. ”

Du Jinning looked at Du Fangling, his eyes narrowed slightly: "This is ...... The fourth aunt asked you to tell me? ”

Du Fangling rolled her eyes: "She has a good reputation, where will she bear this name?" It's just a few complaints in front of me, and take me as a fool, so that she can convey her meaning to your mother and you, and block your succession. ”

"Then what are you ......" Du Jinning really didn't understand what Du Fangling meant.

Obviously, Du Fangling did not tell Chen what Zhang said, otherwise she would definitely know that Chen would not be able to pass her to the big house. It's just that she is now in front of herself to reveal these words, what does she mean? Does she want to succeed or not?

Du Fangling didn't explain, and said impatiently: "I'm just reminding you, whether you believe it or not, it's up to you whether you go or not." ”

As she spoke, she quickly picked up a hoe in the corner, opened the door and ran out.

Du Jinning touched his chin, pondering for a long time and couldn't understand Du Fangling's attitude. But in any case, it is impossible for her to succeed, so she simply put this matter down and didn't bother to pay attention to it.

She looked at the two scripts and tossed them aside.

The words written by the literati of this era, to be honest, the level is not high, the coming and going are the stories of some talented and beautiful people, the characters are stereotyped, and the portrayal of women is even more simple and superficial. As a result, his parents blocked him because of the family, so the man went to Beijing to catch the top prize in the exam and came back to marry this young lady.

This is similar to the plot of "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion" that Du Jinning has watched. Probably these words were written by some poor Xiucai, and what is the dream of poor Xiucai? It's nothing more than marrying a young lady from a rich family, and then going to be the top prize in the shit luck exam. And people who usually read scripts are almost like this, so even if this kind of script is an old-fashioned story and comes and goes, there are still people who like to read it.

Speaking of which, the "Ah Bao" she originally wrote is very similar to these scripts, but it is better than the bizarre plot and character image, and the character of Ah Bao also has his own thoughts and persistence, which is better than the heroine in these scripts.

Alas, it's all a routine. Could it be that he traveled to ancient times and became a copyist, but he still couldn't get rid of the end of writing routine essays?

Du Jinning rolled on the bed twice, thought about it, and decided to go next door to find Du Yunchang.

The New Year is approaching, the weather is cold, and Du Yunchang is not in good health, so now he basically studies at home by himself, and then goes to the county every few days and asks Mr. to take a look at the articles he has made.

Du Jinning entered the courtyard of the big house and shouted, and sure enough, he heard Du Yunchang's voice sounding in the west chamber: "I'm here." ”

Before Du Jinning could move his body, he heard the curtain in the east chamber ring, and Zhang came out of it.

She looked at Du Jinning and asked with a smile, "Brother Ning is here?" Your fourth uncle is writing articles, and he is most afraid of being noisy, why don't you come over here and sit down and play with your younger brothers and sisters for a while? ”

For Zhang's family, Du Jinning didn't care much about it at first, but after listening to Du Fangling's words, she couldn't help but look at Zhang's family steadily.

This woman is in her twenties, with a slender figure, and her eyebrows can only be regarded as delicate, but she is better than her fair skin; A pair of small Danfeng eyes seem to be picky, although there is a smile on his face, but the smile is cold and alienated, and he looks like a thoughtful and difficult person to get along with.

Du Jinning felt a sigh in his heart, and immediately said, "No." If the fourth uncle is not available, I will come back later. ”

She said this loudly, specifically to let Du Yunchang hear it.

"Bang dang", the window of the west chamber was pushed open, and Du Yunchang's somewhat anxious face was revealed. He beckoned to Du Jinning: "Brother Ning, come in." As he spoke, he said to Zhang, "When Brother Ning comes to me in the future, it must be a matter of knowledge, let him come in directly, and there is no need to stop him." ”
