Chapter 120: Good intentions

Du Jinning listened to Du Fangling's sisters discussing in the house, and went to Dong Dacheng's house to ask Aunt Dong about the situation, and couldn't help but smile, lowered his head and continued to practice calligraphy.

When it was almost time for the academy to end, Du Jinning packed up his things and went to the teahouse.

I made an appointment that day, and I came to the teahouse four days later to meet and sign the paperwork.

When they arrived at the teahouse, Guan Jiaze and they had not yet come. Yuan An thought that he had already been ordered, and waited there with a small servant. Seeing Du Jinning coming, he hurriedly greeted him out, pointed to the teahouse and said, "Young Master Du, do you think there is anything else to improve?" ”

In the center of the teahouse, according to Du Jinning's instructions that day, the railing was also installed.

Du Jinning looked around and nodded: "It's good, I don't need it." ”

He asked Yuan An: "That storyteller, do you live far away?" Can you send someone to call him? ”

"It's not far, it's in the alley in front, it's just a cup of tea back and forth, I'll ask Xiao Wu to call him." After Yuan An finished speaking, he ordered the little guy, and the little guy ran out quickly.

"Let's go inside and sit, it's warm inside." Yuan An said again.

Du Jinning followed him into the inner room, sat down for tea, and asked, "Uncle Yuan is the housekeeper of the Qi family, right?" There are a lot of things to do in Qi Mansion, can you take care of this teahouse again? ”

What she meant was to inquire about the meaning of the Qi family. After all, this teahouse will be open every day in the future, and there needs to be a steward to stay here all day. As the housekeeper of Qi Mansion, it is impossible for Yuan An to stay here all the time. If the Qi Mansion leaves it alone after they open, they will have to find someone to help take care of the teahouse.

Yuan An shook his head and said, "It's impossible for me to take care of this teahouse, so I'm here to do a favor to a few young masters and repair the teahouse." Young Master Du doesn't ask, I'm going to talk about it today. Today, we will hand over the teahouse to the four young masters, and we will complete the task. This teahouse belongs to the four young masters, and it is naturally up to the four young masters to decide who will take care of it. Of course, if the four young masters need it, we will do our best to help. ”

Du Jinning nodded and said with a smile: "I understand." ”

As for how to manage it, who will take care of it, it will naturally have to wait for a few people to arrive. She doesn't know what to say.

didn't let her wait long, and before Mr. Storyteller arrived, Guan Jiaze and the three came over.

"Have you finished writing the script? Quickly show me first. Guan Jiaze shouted before he entered the door.

For this fan of the book, Du Jinning is very helpless. She was really worried that after Guan Jiaze read the first and second volumes of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he would turn into a madman and force her to write a script every day. In her previous life, as an Internet writer, she was urged by readers to change all day long, but she was scared. In this life, in ancient times, don't be forced to be sent blades every day - Guan Jiaze knows where her home is, and it is not far from the academy, so she doesn't need to send blades, so she has to kill her every day, which makes her uneasy.

She vigilantly took the vaccination first: "Let's say okay first, don't rush to read the next volume every day." Writing a script is very brain-dead, you don't want to harm me before I grow up, and I will grow old and decay, right? ”

"Bah, it's a big New Year, what do you say about death and life, and the child's words are unscrupulous." Although Guan Jiaze didn't understand what "brain cells" were, he probably knew what it meant, so he didn't answer Du Jinning's words at all, and blindly pretended to be stupid.

Du Jinning is an old man, how can he be allowed to pass the test like this: "Promise first, otherwise I won't show you." ”

"Brother Ning, Brother Du, Brother Du......" Guan Jiaze came to Du Jinning's side and kept begging.

Du Jinning pushed him away with an indifferent face.

Guan Jiaze sighed helplessly: "Okay." "In that case, it's like a guillotine.

"There is no evidence, write it down in black and white." Du Jinning advanced step by step.

"Ah, isn't it?" Guan Jiaze sighed, and seeing that Du Jinning was unmoved, he had to take the four treasures of the study angrily and write a letter of commitment to Du Jinning. Du Jinning felt that there was no big problem when he saw it, so he folded it into his arms and took out the first script to show him.

Qi Muyuan had been standing silently on the side watching the two of them play treasures, and when he saw Du Jinning take out the script, his eyes lit up, and he immediately came to Guan Jiaze's side and looked at the scriptbook with him.

Although Zhang Hongwen also loves to read scripts, as a farmer, he bears a lot more responsibility than the two second generations of officials, and he does not dare to indulge himself in falling in love with scripts.

Seeing that the two of them came to the side to read the script, he walked to Du Jinning's side, sat down and said, "Brother Ning, my father said, since you have moved to Zhuangzi, you can not need the house in Dalin Village, and you don't have to take out the ten taels of silver to advance the shares of the teahouse to me." ”

"It's not good." Du Jinning shook his head, his attitude was very firm, "No need." ”

Indeed, as Zhang Guangyi said, she didn't need to buy that house. With Du Chensheng and Du Yunnian there, they are afraid that they will not return to Peach Blossom Village and Dalin Village in this life. And ten taels of silver is not a small amount, if you can save it, you can save it. After all, she has no money on hand now, even if she doesn't have to pay money to buy the shares of the teahouse, but after paying back Zhang Guangyi's seventeen taels of silver, she has nothing left in hand.

I'm going to go to the academy after the New Year, and she hasn't seen her yet. She can't drag on and make her husband embarrassed, right? This teahouse is still early to make money, and it will take a month or two to get on the right track; The three melons and two dates earned in front of you will also be used as working capital, and will not be used for dividends.

In a word, she is short of money.

But at the beginning, Zhang Guangyi took the risk and responsibility, changed her age, and gave them the Wang family's house to settle down. In order not to let the villagers of Dalin Village have any opinions, he promised to use the ten taels of silver to pave the road for the village. She turned her head now and said that she didn't want that house, which was in vain, didn't that hurt Zhang Guangyi? Those who don't do this are simply crossing the river and demolishing bridges, ungrateful! She would never do such a thing.

But here Du Jinning remembered that Zhang Guangyi had helped her, and Zhang Guangyi also wanted to sell her a good one, so as to repay her favor for pulling Zhang Hongwen in the academy and the teahouse.

Zhang Hongwen said: "Don't worry, listen to me." ”

Du Jinning nodded: "You say." ”

Guan Jiaze on the other end was completely immersed in the excitement of the script, but Qi Muyuan was dual-minded, reading the script on the one hand, and listening to the conversation between the two with one ear.

"Originally, the Wang family was dead, and at the beginning, everyone felt unlucky and didn't want that house. Later, the house was left for another two years, and it was even more deserted, even after a long time, everyone was unwilling to want it. But when you live, it will be different. ”

Zhang Hongwen glanced at Du Jinning with a smile and continued: "It turned out that the house was called the Wang family's house, but after you lived there, it became the Du family's house. Now that you have been accepted as a personal disciple by the head of the academy, and you have moved out again, seeing that your future is bright and soaring, and your family's life is getting better and better, the house has naturally changed from a bad place to an auspicious place. In addition, after the house was cleaned up by you, it was still clean and tidy, and the place was so large. Naturally, it has become the house that everyone wants.

There is a family in the village that has six sons and only five houses. Seeing that the sons are all older, they have become married, and they will have children in the future, and they will not be able to live. So their family discussed it for a while, and then they went to my father and wanted to take down your house. Their family has no cash, and they are willing to work and pave the road according to my father's requirements. ”

Anyway, their family has a lot of strong laborers, six sons, all of whom are strong, and they have married three daughters-in-law, plus the old two, there are more than a dozen strong laborers. After a year or two of farming, going up the hill to dig some stones, and pulling a few carts of sand, the road can be paved. After my father had consulted with the villagers, he asked me to come and ask you if you would like to give up the house. ”

Zhang Hongwen's words were good, but Du Jinning heard a lot of Zhang Guangyi's efforts in these words.

She smiled and asked, "What kind of great future, soaring into the sky, you and your father are preaching in the village, right?" That house has become a good house, and it's also your handiwork, right? Uncle Zhang and you are dedicated to me, how can I not know? Jin Ning thanked Uncle Zhang here. As she spoke, she stood up, clasped her fists in the direction of Peach Blossom Village, and bowed deeply.
