Thinking of this, Chen suddenly rejoiced.

Fortunately, Jiang Nan fell in love with Qi Muyuan instead of Du Jinning. Otherwise, the trouble will be even more difficult to deal with. With Jiangnan's personality of admitting death, I don't know when I drugged Du Jinning and climbed into her bed. In this way, Du Jinning's hard-hidden gender can't be hidden. And Jiang Nan took this handle, and he didn't know what to toss the Du family into.

"Mother, whether I am engaged to someone else and then quit, or you are looking for an orphan girl to come back, what if that woman is in love with me? I couldn't tell her the truth. When the time comes, won't it be a lifetime of harm to others? I already felt guilty for lying to my teacher and hiding the truth, and I really didn't want to hurt another woman. ”

Speaking of this, Du Jinning sighed.

At first, she participated in the scientific expedition because she was unwilling to be a woman locked up in a house, and she longed for freedom. If she still thinks like this now, maybe when she lies to Guan Lehe and faces Guan Lehe's compassionate eyes, she will give up pretending to be a man and honestly explain things to Guan Lehe.

But she really hoped that she could use what she had learned in her previous life to increase the agricultural output of the Great Song Dynasty and do something for the people of this era. Perhaps, because of her move, this Great Song Dynasty can exist a little longer, not be destroyed by the iron cavalry in the north, and embark on the road of being ruled by aliens and ruined by the lives of foreign races in history.

She knew how difficult it would be and how many dangers it would be to walk on this road in disguise as a man, and now she was facing only such a small difficulty, and she couldn't back down easily.

She won't give up until her life is in real danger.

Thinking like this, Du Jinning perked up again.

She said: "There is still a way. If you go to find a suitable family, you will say that I am a heavenly eunuch, but now it is very troublesome to be stared at and marry, so I want to get married first, and then return the family when her girl is older. When the time comes, they will buy them a house and a field for a thousand taels of silver elsewhere, and the matter will be settled. As long as I don't meet that girl, I think she won't have any feelings for me, and it won't affect her marriage in the future. ”

"That's all it can be." Chen nodded.

"Do you have the right person in mind?" Du Jinning asked.

"Yes." The expression on Chen's face was a little complicated, "Your uncle's daughter." She smiled sarcastically, "I think they're willing to agree to this deal." And in this way, we are more credible to the outside world. How many women, when their son is born, want to marry him a maiden niece, firstly, to help their mother's family, and secondly, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is easier to get along with. ”

Since Du Jinning crossed, he had never seen Chen go back to his parents' house.

After Du Yuncheng's death, Du Chensheng and the Niu family were angry with the small third room, as long as the uncle of the Chen family was willing to come forward to support the Chen family, find Li Zheng to uphold justice, or pay to invite the young adults in their village to the Du family for a scene or two, the life of the Chen family and the mother and daughter would not be so sad. But Chen's uncle shrank his head and didn't care about the lives of Chen's people at all. And the grandmother of the Chen family was old and passed away not long after, and he ignored the Chen family mother and daughter.

Chen felt cold to his brother and sister-in-law, and after his mother died, he never returned to his parents' home.

Later, after the news that Du Jinning and they moved to Zhuangzi and Du Fangfei's dowry spread, the uncle of the Chen family came to the house once. On that occasion, after Chen spoke very badly and drove his brother out with a broom, the Chen uncle stopped coming. Du Jinning was studying at Boyue Academy that day, and he didn't meet this cheap uncle.

Du Jinning hesitated: "Is this good for my cousin?" ”

Chen shook his head: "You don't know your aunt, she is a woman herself, but she looks down on women the most. She gave birth to her eldest daughter before I got married, and if it weren't for the need for her eldest daughter to take her younger brother, and your grandmother in charge, she might have drowned her daughter. Later, when her eldest daughter got married, she married her to a widower who was more than ten years older than her and had two children after his wife died. ”

Speaking of this, Chen couldn't help but resent: "Your uncle is a cowardly who is afraid of his wife, as long as he gives him food and drink, he never cares what your uncle does." Your eldest cousin worked as a cow and a horse at home for so many years, and finally got married to a widower, and he didn't even say a word. When I heard about it, I went back and persuaded your aunt, but your aunt beat her with a broom. ”

She closed her eyes and calmed down: "So ordering this family is only good for your cousin, and there is no harm." Although I don't go back to my parents' house, I still know about my mother's home. Your cousin is twelve years old this year, and in addition to working in the fields, she also has to take care of all the housework in the house, which is worse than the days we spent in the Du family before. When you are engaged to her, I will take her to Fucheng and let her live a good life for a few years. In the future, find a good family for her and marry her with a rich dowry. Your aunt thinks that if you give a hundred taels of silver, she will be able to book the family affairs and let you bring your cousin to the city. ”

She was reluctant to do this before, because she didn't want to get involved with the brother and sister-in-law. Because once Du Jinning is engaged to the other side, no matter what the real situation is, they will often come to the door to fight the autumn breeze.

"If that's the case, so be it." Du Jinning nodded, "But you have to make it clear to your cousin when the time comes, I can't marry her, you just saw that she was pitiful and wanted to save her from the fire kang, so you took her to Fucheng." Of course, if she is unwilling to leave her parents, this matter will be stopped, and we will find another way. ”

Chen nodded: "I understand. ”

Immediately, she looked at Du Jinning with an inquiring gaze: "This matter is sooner rather than later, I will go back to the county tomorrow." If things go well and you come out of the Gongyuan for the third exam, I'll bring your cousin back. ”

When Du Jinning first started to participate in the scientific expedition, she would still be very worried, but now she has become accustomed to it. Yao Shuqi will prepare everything properly, and she basically doesn't have to worry about it.

Du Jinning thought about the Qi family's affairs, nodded and said, "Now that Qi Siyu has been convicted, the Qi family has no energy to toss when they want toss." I'll talk to Qi Muyuan and ask Liu Gao and them to send you back. Fourth sister, don't follow, let's go into the examination room tomorrow, and then I will ask someone to send her to Fang's house to be Mrs. Fang's companion." ”

"It's for the best." Chan agreed.

Du Jinning went to Qi's house and told Qi Muyuan about his plans, of course, he hid his true gender and didn't mention it, only said that he was worried that Pan Yiting would arrest him as a son-in-law, and his mother had planned to engage her uncle and cousin before, but because the two were still young, they never mentioned it. Now that he encounters Pan Yiting's incident, he simply settles down the family affairs to avoid more trouble.
