Chapter 552: Meeting
Du Jinning followed Qi Muyuan to Qi Mansion, and he was worried that Qi Muyuan would repeat the old words, or get along awkwardly, but fortunately, Qi Muyuan was as usual, as if his words had never been said, so that Du Jinning slowly relaxed and returned to normal.
At breakfast the next day, Qi Muyuan asked, "Why don't I accompany you back to the village?" I don't have any close relatives here, so I just need to go to the ancestral hall to pay respects, and it won't take much time. ”
Du Jinning hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "It's okay, then I bother you to accompany me on a trip." ”
She was really impatient to deal with Du Chensheng and the others, if it weren't for the reputation of ancient scholars, Du Yinsheng's wish would have been fulfilled, and she wouldn't want to go back to Peach Blossom Village.
And Du Chensheng promised to be half a scholar, and he usually wanted to be faceless. With Qi Muyuan present, I think he will be more restrained, so as not to let the Niu family make such a big fuss, and everyone can get by on face. When she was leaving, Qi Muyuan was there, and Du Yinsheng was not easy to force them to stay.
"You worship your ancestors first, and it's not too late for us to go to Peach Blossom Village later. Lunch will definitely have to be there. Du Jinning said.
Du Yinsheng and Zhang Guangyi must have to keep their food, and Du Jinning can't help but give them face.
Qi Muyuan did not shirk. The ancestral hall is behind his house, and it won't take much time to walk over to the pillar incense and kowtow a few more times.
In a family like theirs, it is really not a great deal to raise a person, and there is no need to alarm distant relatives.
Unlike Du Jinning, who is a middle-of-the-road person, it is an achievement that may not be available within a hundred miles of Taohua Village and for tens or hundreds of years, not only everyone in the Du family has heard the news, but also people from the same village or several neighboring villages will come to celebrate, and the situation is much more complicated. Du Jinning wanted to quietly enter the village and run away with a shot, but it would definitely not work, at least he had to have lunch and dinner there.
After Qi Muyuan finished worshipping his ancestors, Du Jinning rode out with him.
After thinking about it, Du Jinning instructed Wang Fulai to go to Du Yunyi's house when he went out and told Du Yunyi the news of her return.
At this time, it has passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the rice in the field has turned from green to yellow, hanging heavily on the rice crops. Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan rode into Taohua Village with a few nursing homes, and the farmers who were busy in the rice fields straightened up and looked at them.
Du Jinning has a good memory, even if she has not stayed in Taohua Village for a long time and has not had much contact with the people in the village, she remembers it as long as she has met. Since she came back to brush up her prestige, she naturally had to say hello when she saw the people in the village at this time.
But before she could start talking, she heard everyone shouting: "Du Jieyuan is back, Du Jieyuan is back." ”
Du Jinning was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that she was lifted, not only would the officials of Fucheng go to Hulu Lane to report the good news, but the people of the county government would also send messengers to the village to report the good news when they received the news from Fucheng.
When she came to her senses, the people of the village came out of the fields and went to the roadside to talk to her.
She hurriedly dismounted and greeted everyone. Qi Muyuan also dismounted.
"Oh my God, it's really Brother Ning, he's grown so big and so handsome, the old woman is almost unrecognizable." An old lady looked at Du Jinning and exclaimed.
Du Jinning turned his head and found that it was Mrs. Wang, so he hurriedly said, "Grandma Wang, are you okay?" ”
"Good, good." Seeing that Du Jinning still remembered herself, Mrs. Wang happily took her hand and said, "Brother Ning, you are out of breath." not only was admitted to Xiucai, but also was admitted to Juren. Your mother and your sister have had a good life. As she spoke, she wiped away tears.
This is someone who really thinks about the Chen family.
Du Jinning always remembered Mrs. Wang's kindness to her family, and she didn't forget to bring gifts to Mrs. Wang when she came back this time. However, at this time, there were many people, and she was not easy to take out, so she had to chat with Mrs. Wang and deal with other people's questions. She didn't stop at her feet, and walked all the way in the direction of the Du family's house, and the nursing home behind had already taken over the reins in her hand.
"Brother Ning." Mrs. Wang suddenly pulled her sleeve, and her voice was relatively low, as if she had something to say.
Du Jinning nodded at the others, turned his head and approached Mrs. Wang.
"Your second uncle is back." Mrs. Wang said.
Du Jinning was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted. Mrs. Wang is talking about Du Yunnian.
Is Du Yunnian back?
If you count the time, it's pretty much the same.
Du Jinning smiled and said to Mrs. Wang: "Come back, come back, he doesn't dare to do anything to us now." ”
"That's right." Mrs. Wang grinned.
I think that at the beginning, the orphans and widows of the Du family's small three rooms had no strength to fight against Du Yunnian, so they were a little afraid of him. Now that Du Jinning has been admitted to the Juren, even the county magistrate has scolded her for a few points, where is Xiao Sanfang afraid of a bastard who is nothing? No matter how mixed Du Yunnian is, he can't make any waves.
"Is your mother okay? Is your fourth sister engaged? She asked again.
Hearing Mrs. Wang's question, the others also pricked up their ears.
"My mother is very good, the fourth sister is engaged, and the fourth brother-in-law is also a lifter." Du Jinning paused, and then said, "My fourth brother-in-law's father is still a governor and a third-grade official. ”
When everyone heard this, they all exclaimed: "Oh my God, the third-grade official." ”
Someone asked, "How many products is the county master?" ”
There is one who knows the first to answer: "The county master is the seventh grade." The prefect in the city is only four grades. ”
"What an official does Sister Hui's father-in-law have to be!"
Listening to everyone's envy and amazement, Du Jinning turned his head and glanced at Qi Muyuan.
Qi Muyuan gave her a look back and nodded, indicating that he wouldn't think she was showing off.
The two have been classmates for a few years, what kind of person is Du Jinning, will he not know? She said this now, just to deter Du Chensheng and a few people, so that there would be less trouble.
The villagers are most afraid of officials, and they usually have to be afraid for a long time when they see a servant, not to mention the third-grade officials who are much older than the county lord. Knowing that Du Jinning is not only a lifter, but Du Fanghui's father-in-law is also a third-grade official, even if Du Chensheng and Du Yunnian have any ideas, they don't dare to make any more trouble.
The group walked all the way, and some enthusiastic children had already gone to Du's house to report. When Du Jinning and his party walked to the door of the Du family's house, they saw Du Yinsheng, Du Chensheng and others standing there to greet them. Du Yunnian and the Yao family are impressively listed.
"Uncle, grandfather, grandmother. Grandparents. Du Jinning called.
"Hey, Brother Ning, you have glorified the lintel for our Du family. Your great-grandfather knew that he was very happy. Du Yinsheng stepped forward and grabbed Du Jinning's arm, tears flowed out.
"Uncle and grandfather, Jinning finally lived up to his expectations." Du Jinning smiled at Du Yinsheng.
Du Yinsheng's greatest wish is to have a person in the family to compare the Du family in Fucheng. Now that Du Jinning has realized his wish, it can be regarded as worthy of the help and kindness that Du Yinsheng gave her when she crossed over.
