"Who's going to tell the news? Invite him in. ◢ With *Dream ◢ Small*.lā" she commanded.

Old man Zhu went out, and after a while, he brought in a person. This man was ten years old, with a long face, thin eyebrows and eyes, a linen coat on top of his blue coat, and a filial piety hat. The father and mother specially asked the nephew to come to report the funeral. ”

Although they had been separated for a few years, Chen and Du Jinning still recognized this person at a glance as Du Jinde, the third eldest in the small big house.

"Brother De'er, hurry up." Chen shouted and motioned to Old Man Zhu to help Du Jinde up, and turned his head to look at Du Jinning.

As soon as Du Jinning saw Du Jinde, the doubts in his heart were gone.

Qin Lao Liu will definitely not draw a snake to add to it, and the person who bought the small and big house of the Du family will report the news, and he will report the funeral. After all, reporting the funeral will cause her to worry, and it will involve a lot. No matter how Qin Lao Liu is, he will never cheat her like this. It's not good for him.

It seems that Du Chensheng really passed away.

Now, Du Jinning is the most promising person in the Du family. If it weren't for this, Du Yunyi and the Zhang family would not have sent their youngest son to report to the Chen family and Du Jinning, just send someone casually.

Therefore, after Du Jinde was helped up, he looked at Du Jinning and saluted her: "Fourth brother." ”

Du Jinning stood up and saluted back: "Second brother, thank you for your hard work." ”

She summoned someone to bring a chair to Du Jinde to sit down, served tea and snacks, and then asked, "What disease does grandfather have?" Why so suddenly? ”

"It's the second uncle." Speaking of this, Du Jinde looked resentful, "The second uncle went to gamble again, not only sold out his land, but also owed a lot of debts, so he grinded his grandfather and grandmother to help him pay it back." My grandfather helped him return it once, but he refused to pay it back. In the middle of the argument that day, he angrily pushed his grandfather, and his grandfather's head hit the corner of the table, and he went two days later. ”

Speaking of this, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve again: "Grandmother fell ill on the spot, and when I came, my grandmother was still lying in bed, I don't know what happened now." ”

He followed his father in the city when he was a child, and only returned to Peach Blossom Village during the New Year's holidays, and he had no feelings for Du Chensheng and Niu. At this time, when it came to Du Chensheng's experience and death, he didn't actually feel sad. It's just that since he came to report the funeral, he always had to pretend, so he made a gesture of wiping his tears.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen and Du Jinning not only had no feelings for Du Chensheng, but wished that he would die early, he would have cried as soon as he entered the door.

When Chen heard this, he only felt that the heavens were clear and the retribution was unhappy.

If it weren't for Du Chensheng and the Niu clan indulging in Du Yunnian, how could they raise a character like Du Yunnian? Now being devoured by it and dying at the hands of Du Yunnian, this is self-defeating.

She looked at Du Jinning and waited for Du Jinning to show her.

Originally, they pretended that Niu's illness asked her to go back, but now that Du Chensheng has passed away, there is no need to spread false news, which is a good thing for them. Especially here Du Jinning, you can let go of everything in your hands, and Ding Wei will go back to Gui Province with her. In this way, you can avoid the things in the officialdom and get out naturally.

Thinking of this, she really wanted to say that Du Chen was born: died well.

tortured their mother and daughter for more than ten years, and now they died just right, which can be regarded as making up for the debt they owed to their mother and daughter in those years.

Du Jinning said: "Second brother, I am in the officialdom, I don't mean I can leave, I need to hand over the fold to report to the emperor and apply for Ding Wei." If you are in a hurry, you can rest for two days and take a step ahead, and I will take my mother back after the emperor has made a will. ”

It's the third month of the lunar calendar, and the weather is warm; Gui Province is located in the southern part of the Great Song Dynasty, and the climate is a bit hotter than that of Jiangnan. Du Jinde came from Gui Province, first went to the capital to inquire, and then found Runzhou, and walked on the road for more than a month. The family must not be able to wait for them, so Du Chen was buried early.

So he wasn't in a hurry to go home at all.

But it's hard to say this, he only said: "I'll wait for the third aunt and the fourth brother to go together, and there will be a response on the way." ”

Du Jinning naturally would not urge him to go first.

She said, "The second brother lives here, and when I receive the will, I will set off with you." ”

Saying that, she stood up and said to Chen: "Mother, you arrange for the second brother to eat and live, and I will go to the study to write an excerpt." ”

"Okay, you go get busy." Chen replied.

Du Jinning came out of Chen's place and went back to his yard.

Leaving Aoki outside the courtyard gate, she closed the courtyard door and walked into the house while thinking about how to arrange and lay it out.

She actually has a lot of things to do, such as successfully planting hybrid rice, asking Qi Bokun to help her fight for the Danshu Iron Coupon, and then proceed to the next step, but she doesn't want to be disrupted by Du Chensheng's death now.

Now, it's just a matter of counting.

She first wrote a letter to Qi Muyuan and sent Zhang Songtao to the capital; Only then did he write an excerpt and send someone to Guan Jiatian to report to Ding Wei.

Guan Jiatian is her superior, she can't skip the level and directly give it to Zhao Mei, she needs to pass Guan Jiatian's verification, and Guan Jiatian will write an excerpt to report.

In fact, she is far away from her hometown, if her elders die locally, the moment she gets the letter, she can go home to deal with the funeral, no longer have to stay in her post, and when the time comes, her boss can directly report Ding Wei for her.

Guan Jiatian got the letter, hurriedly came to Du's mansion, asked Du Jinde about the situation, and immediately sent someone to the capital to report the news.

After the official who delivered the letter left, he asked Du Jinning worriedly: "What are you going to do with this mess you are in charge of?" ”

"Let's see what the emperor says." Du Jinning said.

Guan Jiatian sighed and had to wait for news.

In Beijing, Zhao Yu saw the excerpt handed over by Guan Jiatian, and immediately summoned Qi Bokun to discuss: "Du Jinning's grandfather died, report to Ding Wei." What do you think? ”

Without waiting for Qi Bokun to speak, he said again: "I heard Aiqing say that Du Jinning's grandfather treated him very badly, and the two sides also signed a severance document, but is there such a thing?" ”

Qi Bokun said: "Exactly. ”

"In this way, I will take away the affection, do Aiqing have any opinions?"

"Love?" Qi Bokun was stunned.

Minister Ding Wei, if the country needs him, there is no way to let him go home to keep filial piety, which is called a love grabbing. But it is often used for generals on the battlefield, or civil servants in important positions. No matter who it is, it must be ethically criticized for taking love.

Du Jinning is just a petty official of the sixth grade, although what she is doing is very important. But in the eyes of some, the matter can be relieved. It's never too late to do it for a year or two.

But she has been in the night for a year or two, which is bound to have an impact on Zhao Yu's rival family.

After all, Zhao Yu also hoped that after she increased grain production, she would open up the road and prosper commerce throughout the country, so as to curb the family's control over the court.

After thinking about it again and again, Qi Bokun said: "If the emperor uses the word 'love grabbing', he will definitely be opposed by the ministers." Since Du Jinning signed the severance document, that is, he broke off the relationship, and the emperor started from this aspect, and there was some reason for the emperor to reject Du Jinning's request. ”
