Let's say that Lu Xiaobei went to the field early in the morning, walked along the upstream, and when Du Jinning got off school at noon, he went directly to the gate of the academy and asked someone to call her out.

"How?" Du Jinning asked.

"Young Master, you really guessed correctly. There are two villages upstream, and every year in the spring there is a fight for water. The village above was also blocked with water, and the village below was also closed with water, and when you got to this side of the field, there was no water. In previous years, it was okay, and some water flowed down, which was able to meet the water in the fields; But in the past two years, it has become more and more severe, and the ditch has dried up directly. It is estimated that this is why the owner of the field will sell it. ”

Du Jinning nodded: "Okay, I know." Don't think about that field, if the people of Wuzhong contact you, you will say that I am too expensive, and don't say anything about it. Pang Zhongren, you hurry up and contact you. ”

"Yes, I'll go find Pang Zhongren in a while." Lu Xiaobei saw that Du Jinning had no other instructions, so he said goodbye and left.

When it was time to disperse from school, he waited at the gate of the academy again, and when he saw Du Jinning coming out, he said: "Young master, the fifteen acres of land have been negotiated, and Pang Zhongren asked you when you will sign the deed." The people in the mountains over there went to the yamen to ask, and found that it was an ownerless mountain, and the county government was willing to sell it, but the young master needed you to buy a mountain, and the price was two hundred and fifty taels. You see......"

Du Jinning nodded: "Okay, let's buy it together." You tell Pang Zhongren that I have to take a day off to be free, and ask him to tell the seller that if you want to pay some deposit, you can do it, and you must not let the seller give the field a second place. ”

To buy and sell hills and fields, you must sign a red deed. Usually he dispersed his studies, and the yamen was closed. You have to wait for Mu Xiu to sign the contract.

Lu Xiaobei agreed, and planned to leave.

But I heard Du Jinning say again: "You ask Pang Zhongren, if there are acquaintances in the yamen, and whether you can do something by taking care of one or two." ”

Lu Xiaobei didn't know what Du Jinning meant by asking, but he still agreed directly.

……

Zhang Hongwen was very concerned about Du Jinning's affairs, and when he went home from school in the evening, he told Zhang Guangyi what Du Jinning said.

Zhang Hongwen will give all the dividends from the teahouse to his father every month, so Zhang Guangyi has a good idea of how much silver Du Jinning can get every month, and he is not surprised that he can buy thirty acres of land. What surprised him was that these fields were bought for Du Fangfei, which made him impressed.

You must know that the Du family's small third room still has no tiles on the top and no place to stand on the ground. The houses and fields they live in are all on the Zhuangzi, and they have no private property. Du Jinning made money not to buy land for himself, but to marry his sister, Zhang Guangyi didn't know how to call him stupid, or praise him for being righteous.

He sighed with emotion: "Brother Wen, it is your blessing that you can befriend him, no matter what happens in the future, you must protect him well." You treat him well, he can treat his eldest sister like this today, and he can treat your brother the same in the future. ”

Zhang Hongwen nodded, his mood was very complicated.

He is the youngest child in the family, and there are eldest brothers and two brothers on top of him. When these two brothers became relatives, they had many of their own little abacus, and they were always dissatisfied with him taking the family's money to study, and they often talked sourly to their sisters-in-law. Compared with Du Jinning, such relatives are really different.

"Dad, why don't you say Du Jinning didn't buy a house and land for himself, so he had to take all the money to buy a dowry for his eldest sister?"

He couldn't help but ask his father again. With his brothers and sisters as a comparison, he couldn't imagine that someone would value their relatives more than himself.

Zhang Guangyi can quite understand Du Jinning: "At the beginning, his eldest sister promised herself to Meng Qiang in order to ask for medicine for him, and she completely ignored it for the rest of her life. If it weren't for his eldest sister, he would have been gone a long time ago. He is grateful and has a conscience. ”

Seeing that his youngest son's eyes were gloomy, Zhang Guangyi thought of his two sons and sighed: "Their sisters and brothers have gone through hardships together, and their feelings are naturally deeper than those of other brothers and sisters. However, there are really few people who can be as selfless as Du Jinning and repay their kindness. ”

He patted his youngest son on the shoulder: "Your eldest brother and second brother have complaints, you can bear with it more." When Ming'er is admitted to the show, lifts people, and returns to them, they will know how good you are. ”

The corners of Zhang Hongwen's mouth twitched.

Except for their father and son, no one in the family knows about the shareholding of the teahouse. Because of this, the two elder brothers complained about him spending money to study. If it weren't for the fact that his father was Lizheng, who was quite dignified in this family, I don't know what would have happened to them.

In fact, the monthly dividends of the teahouse are not only enough for Zhang Hongwen to study, but also quite surplus. If we had separated, it would have been better off than it is now.

But with his father's words just now, Zhang Hongwen couldn't say anything about the separation.

Thinking of this, he became more and more envious of Du Jinning. When Du Jinning was able to split up and move out of the village, what a wise choice it was.

However, Du Yunnian knew about his purchase of the land, and it was estimated that he would have to make a storm again.

Zhang Guangyi didn't bother to eat dinner, so he went to the village for a walk, and when he came back, he told Zhang Hongwen about the situation of the Du family.

On the second day, Zhang Hongwen came to the academy and pulled Du Jinning outside the teaching house, saying, "Your second uncle said that friends from other villages asked him to do business together, and asked your grandfather and grandmother to borrow fifteen taels of silver. Your grandfather and grandmother said that they had no money, and he made a big fuss at home, and your grandmother shouted that she was angry and had a pain in her chest. I guess he said your grandmother was sick, and that's it. He went there today, thinking that he was going to find his friend who was doing business with him. ”

Du Jinning was speechless.

Just Du Yunnian's stupid appearance, what kind of business do you do? It is estimated that someone sold it and helped the people to pay for it. If Du Chensheng and the Niu family don't lend him money, it's fine, if they borrow money, it must be a meat bun beating a dog - there is no return.

Zhang Hongwen said: "Since he can't borrow silver at home, your uncle has your aunt in charge, and he won't borrow him silver if he wants to." He sees that you have money to buy land, and he may go to you to borrow money. ”

"He's thinking beautiful." Du Jinning sneered, thinking about how to teach him a lesson if Du Yunnian really came to the door.

He hadn't settled the original account with Du Yunnian.

If she is admitted to Xiucai next year, for the sake of business in Fucheng, maybe she will go to Fuxue to study. If she doesn't clean up Du Yunnian, a scoundrel, she won't feel at ease to leave home.

I don't know if Zhang Hongwen is a crow's mouth or if he is like a god, when Du Jinning went home in the evening, he saw that the courtyard was full of people from a distance, and there was a faint sound of scolding in the yard.
