Du Jinning entered the hall, put down the basket in his hand, and made a gesture to Du Jinning and Montessori: "Jinning has given New Year's greetings to my uncle and grandmother, and I wish my uncle and uncle and aunt good fortune like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." He turned to Du Yunchang and Zhang, and said auspicious words as well.

"Okay, good, just come back." Du Yinsheng hurriedly went over and helped her up, looked her up and down, and a pleased smile appeared on his face, "I've grown taller." ”

Have you grown taller? Du Jinning looked down at himself.

She didn't feel it herself, and the Chen family saw them every day, so naturally she couldn't feel it.

"Uncle, are you okay?" Du Jinning said a few words to Du Yinsheng, took out a gift and presented it, and then said, "I went to the mountain chief's house this morning to pay New Year's greetings, and I came late." ”

Hearing this, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Zhang's mouth.

However, Du Jinning's next sentence made her mockery freeze on her face, and her expression turned into a big surprise.

"I learned from Zhang Hongwen that the fourth uncle has not found a suitable private partner during this time, and asked the mountain chief some time ago, and he told me that the king of the city wanted to hire a enlightenment gentleman for his six-year-old son, and he was willing to hire him for five taels of silver per month. Because his son was infirm, he read for two hours a day. Wang Yuanwai's house is not far from the academy, and the fourth uncle can come back every day after school, without having to sit in the Wang family's house. ”

"Really?" Du Yinsheng's family is very happy.

Since Du Jinning moved out separately, Du Yinsheng has been a little disheartened, and he has given up the idea of letting his children and grandchildren glorify their ancestors and return to their own sect, and no longer forces his son to continue to take the exam, and is ready to let him find a private school to be a gentleman. In this way, the father and son can do things together, and they can also make up for the deficit family business that has been pulled down by Du Yunchang for many years to study.

But Du Yunchang was in the crane tail exam when he took the exam, and he had never been a gentleman before, and he had no experience in teaching disciples, and each private school in the city had its own fixed husband, or father and son, or teacher and student taught together, and there was no need to hire strangers. If you are a gentleman, people like Du Yunchang are not willing to hire them; The people who are willing to hire have such and such unsatisfactory feelings, either they give little restraint, or the children are too naughty to discipline, or the family has a bad reputation. Du Yunchang was already in poor health, Du Yinsheng and Montessori were reluctant to let him be too tired, and they didn't worry that he would live in someone else's house for a long time, so this matter has not been settled.

Du Jinning studied at Guan Lehe during this time, and knew that from time to time someone would bring their children to visit Guan Lehe. Although the academy does not accept enlightened children, if their children can be praised for their intelligence, or recommend a gentleman, these people will be very satisfied.

Of course, these people are usually turned away by the gatekeeper Aber, but the post is sent in. Ordinary people will ignore it, but some people with status and status are not good at it, and he will see it; Even if you don't see it, you'll go back to the previous post. After Du Jinning recently made a small success in practicing calligraphy, he replied to many such posts for Guan Lehe.

After learning about Du Yunchang from Zhang Hongwen, Du Jinning began to leave relevant information from these posts to choose the right person. Of course, she didn't do this behind Guan Lehe's back, but told Guan Lehe about wanting to help her fourth uncle find a family to sit in the museum.

Guan Lehe is a traditional thought, although Du Chensheng was scared away on the day of the housewarming, he was still very happy that Du Jinning could remember the kindness of his uncle and grandfather, and he was very enthusiastic to help choose, and finally recommended Wang Yuanwai's family to Du Jinning.

Five taels of silver a month is not a small amount, and it was recommended by Guan Lehe, and the host will not disrespect Mr. in Guan Lehe's face. Such a private school is not only Du Yinsheng and Du Yunchang, but also Mengshi and Zhang's are very interested, and they surround Du Jinning to ask for details.

Du Jinning told Guan Lehe and the news he heard one by one, and said: "I asked someone to ask Wang Yuanwai, and Wang Yuanwai said that let the fourth uncle go over on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and everyone will meet." If the fourth uncle thinks it is appropriate, he will stay with the professor; If it's not suitable, you can also decline politely, and I'll help keep an eye on other families when the time comes. ”

"Okay, thank you for remembering your fourth uncle." Du Yinsheng said with emotion.

Zhang Shi hurriedly poured a cup of ginger sugar tea and handed it to Du Jinning: "It's cold all the way, right?" Hurry up and drink some ginger tea to warm up. He took candy and melon seeds out to entertain Du Jinning.

It's fun here, Du Chensheng is there, the Yao family, who was sent by the Niu family to keep an eye on the door, heard her voice when Du Jinning entered the door, and hurriedly entered the hall to report Du Chensheng, Du Chensheng's face darkened all of a sudden.

Yao's life has been very difficult since the separation of the small three-room family. In the past, she only had to cook two or three meals a day and wash the family's clothes. Now not only do you have to do this, but also take care of the vegetable garden, go up the mountain to pick pigweed, feed pigs, feed chickens and cattle, and see that the firewood cut by Chen and Du Fangfei is almost burned, and she has to go up the mountain to chop wood, and she keeps spinning like a spinning top all day long. In just half a month, she has lost a lot of weight.

In addition to doing things, she also had to bear the wrath of the Niu family that the mother and daughter of the third room had endured before.

In the past, the Niu family was slightly unsatisfactory and scolded the people in the small third room, but now those people are gone, and the family is still divided, seeing that the small third room has left them to live a good life, even the parents-in-law and grandparents do not recognize it, and the anger in Niu's heart is not able to hold back, and the Yao family is scolded every day.

Yao didn't dare to imagine that when the spring was about to farm, the Niu family would let her go to the fields and farm, if that was the case, she felt that she was about to lose her life.

Therefore, here in the second room of the Du family, the one who remembers the third room and the resentful third room the most is the Yao family.

At this time, seeing Du Jinning coming back to pay New Year's greetings, she directly put aside her grandfather and grandmother and went to the big house to pay New Year's greetings, she knew that Du Chensheng and Niu's should be on fire at this time, but she still couldn't help but instigate: "For the New Year, I didn't enter when I passed by the door of my grandfather and grandmother, and I went to my uncle's grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings. What is the use of such a person, no matter how good he is? When the time comes, sue him for disobedience, and he still wants to test his fame? Dreaming, right? ”

Although the family was separated, Du Yunyi's family naturally had to come back for the New Year. At this time, the family was sitting in the hall and eating with Du Chensheng and others.

When the Zhang family heard this, he glanced at the Yao family in disgust, and said: "Brother Ning is now in close contact with the young master of the Guan family and the young master of the Qi family, even if he is accused of disobedience, with the help of the Guan family and the Qi family, he can still live well." But what benefits do we get? The future of a bad guy is like killing his parents, and he has a grudge in vain, and when he moves his hands and feet, our life will not be able to go on. Brother and sister, what is your intention in saying this? Do you have to make trouble for our family to be ruined? ”
