As soon as Du Jinning said this, Chen and Du Fangling were afraid for a while.

Needless to say? Assassinate the prince, that is the end of the whole house.

After the fear was over, both of them were so angry that they died.

The Du family didn't say that they were kind to the Jiangbei and Jiangnan brothers and sisters, at least they didn't treat them badly. Jiangnan does things without thinking about what others do. Even if Zhao Chang is not a prince and is not charged with assassination, will she pounce on a man like this and spread it, will it affect the reputation of Du Fangling and Du Fanghui? You know, Du Fanghui hasn't discussed marriage yet.

Jiangnan is not a fool, he didn't expect this. She's just focused on herself. It's like she moved out, ignoring her brother's embarrassment, and never considering the feelings of others.

"Alright, their business will not be relevant to us in the future. So be it. Du Jinning waved his hand, not wanting to say these two people anymore.

She was about to stand up, when she saw a maid hurriedly come over and said, "Mrs., young master, miss, there is a visitor, saying that it is Mrs. Fang, the mother of Fang Shaohua, a classmate of the young master in the academy." ”

"What?" Du Jinning and Chen were stunned for a moment, but they became happy after reacting.

They really didn't expect Fang Shaohua's mother to come all the way from your province to propose marriage, thinking that it would be good for the Fang family to send a few decent subordinates at most. After all, it's a long way to go.

Du Jinning asked, "Is Yao Shuqi back?" How's it going? ”

"I'm back, I've been back for two days, and the situation is the same as Fang Shaohua said, and there is no difference at all. Steward Yao said that the Fang family has a good style, Master Fang is an honest and honest official, Mrs. Fang is also very kind, and the Fang family has a harmonious relationship between brothers and sisters, and is a good family. Chen was very satisfied.

Although Du Jinning has been a classmate of Fang Shaohua for two years and knows him very well, he still sent Yao Shuqi and a few people to your province to inquire about the situation of the Fang family from the side.

After Fang Shaohua mentioned his relatives that day, Yao Shuqi set off, went there for four or five days, and hurriedly played back and forth, just like that, he only came back for two days. Mrs. Fang is a woman's family, the car is tired, and the journey must be slow, but it is here today, which shows the sincerity of the Fang family, as soon as she received Fang Shaohua's letter, she left for Gui Province.

"Please, please." Chen shouted, saying that he wanted to stand up and greet him in person, but after walking a few steps, he asked Du Jinning and Du Fangling, "Are my clothes decent?" ”

"Decent, decent." Du Jinning said with a smile.

Chen's life has been smooth in the past two years, the family is financially well-off, for the sake of her children's face, even if she no longer pursues luxury, she will pay attention to maintenance and dress herself carefully; In addition, she is beautiful, and when she is usually with the neighbor's wife, she is no worse than the noble lady of other families.

Chen and Du Fangling soon disappeared, and Du Jinning also got up and went back to his yard.

It was Mrs. Fang who came, and she was received by Chen and Du Fangling. Moreover, since Yao Shuqi has checked the situation of the Fang family, it is just a matter of discussing relatives, and Du Jinning has nothing to worry about.

Originally, Du Jinning thought that Mrs. Fang would leave soon, and the Chen family would send someone to tell her about their marriage, but she didn't expect to wait until the time of the lantern, and there was no movement there.

Aoki, who was sent by Du Jinning to inquire about the news, said: "I heard from the maid next to my wife, my wife not only kept Mrs. Fang to eat, but also wanted to keep her at home." ”

As soon as Du Jinning heard this, his heart relaxed. Chen had a very good conversation with Mrs. Fang, so he wanted to keep someone to live at home, which shows that Mrs. Fang is a very good person.

However, Mrs. Fang knew that her son was thinking about family affairs, so she didn't stay overnight and said goodbye and left.

Chen called Du Jinning over and told her: "I have discussed with Mrs. Fang, and I will get married in September as soon as the autumn season passes." ”

Du Jinning was taken aback: "Why are you in such a hurry?" "It's only five months until October. The ancients were very troublesome to get married, and it took half a year to go for the ceremony, and it was a little hasty in five months.

Chen said with a smile: "The Fang family is willing to let them marry here, so I naturally don't want to make any more requests in terms of time." Mrs. Fang didn't plan to leave this time, and after the township exam, let them visit the church and get married, and then go back to Guizhou Province together. ”

Du Jinning nodded: "That's very good." ”

She was a little surprised when she heard about this time just now, after all, this was still discussing the matter of engagement, so she directly said that she was married. Now that she thinks about it, she thinks that after Du Fangling gets married, it would be good to let Du Fanghui marry directly. After all, the township test also has a certain risk for her. She was relieved that her two sisters were married.

But Fang Shaohua wants to participate in the township test, and it is impossible to get married before the township test, so he can only wait until after the township test.

However, she no longer has the apprehension of taking the county exam when she first took the exam.

First, she had no problem taking the test a few times, although the township test was stricter, it was not much worse. And as the head of the government, she has just been in the limelight in her lectures, so those officials naturally mean it, and they will not search her too strictly.

In the following days, Chen went with Mrs. Fang and booked the family affairs. After this wave of gifts, Du Fangling's wedding date arrived.

Chen has been a housewife for two years, and has gained a lot of housekeeping experience with the neighbor's wife, and the whole person has grown a lot. She didn't have to worry about Du Jinning's marriage at all, she directly sent Yao Shuqi and a few subordinates, brought gifts back to Lishui County, and quietly picked up Du Yunyi and his wife.

Du Yunyi and Zhang's didn't get much light after Du Jinning was admitted to Xiucai, and they were dissatisfied in their hearts, but the county magistrate in Lishui County and the officials in the yamen all stared at them like prisoners, lest they go to Fucheng to cause chaos to Du Jinning, this style simply made Du Yunyi and Zhang's frightened. Du Jinning's energy is beyond their imagination.

So they were honest and didn't dare to think anything crooked.

Now that they are picked up by Yao Shuqi, they are almost crying with joy. At least this shows that they are still useful to Du Jinning, which is enough.

Lu Xiaobei and Du Fangling's wedding was quite simple, after all, Lu Xiaobei had no parents, and only invited a few of his friends in the business field; On the Du family's side, Du Yunyi and his wife, plus Du Jinning's classmates and friends, and the neighbors of Hulu Lane participated in the ceremony.

After the wedding, Du Yunyi and his wife were sent away, and Yao Shuqi went with them. He would bring gifts to Du Yinsheng and Du Chensheng, tell them the news of Du Fanghui's marriage, and make amends to Du Yinsheng.

Now the financial resources of the Du family are very different from when Du Fangfei got married, and the dowry for Du Fangling is naturally not too shabby. Du Jinning and the Chen family invited Du Fangfei in advance, and transferred the small courtyard and 100 acres of land they live in to Du Fangfei's name to make up for the lack of dowry when Du Fangfei got married.

"Mother, Brother Ning, I really don't need it." Du Fangfei refused to accept it, "When I got married, you did your best." If I want to be jealous of Sister Ling, compare my dowry with her, I will not be human. ”

"Take it, I'm working hard to make money, just to make you live well." Du Jinning said.

Chen also repeatedly persuaded Du Fangfei.

In the end, Du Fangfei only accepted the title deed of the small courtyard, and the reason was also very good: "If I take the land again, my mother-in-law and your brother-in-law will be under a lot of pressure, making them feel uncomfortable, but it is not as good as now." Anyway, I have your backing, and your brother-in-law doesn't dare to treat me badly. ”

Du Jinning had no choice but to give up.

But seeing Du Fangfei like this, she was very pleased. Du Fangfei is no longer as mindless as when he first got married. Probably because she has a child and manages the family's livelihood, her temperament is also fierce and tough, she knows everything and thinks deeply, not blindly obeying others.

After Du Fangling got married, it was time for the scientific examination. This has nothing to do with Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan, because they are the top three in the government examination and can be exempted from the exam. But Fang Shaohua, Liang Xiankuan, and Xu Chengyuan became nervous, and they went into the exam number to suffer for a few days before they gave up.

Fortunately, the scientific examination is the qualification examination of the township examination, and after the scientific examination, you are eligible to participate in the township examination, which is not very difficult.

After the end of the scientific examination, Chen and Mrs. Fang returned a few salutes, August was soon coming, and Du Jinning was going to take the township examination.
