Hearing this, Chen didn't know whether he should be happy or unhappy.

If the matter does not reach the ears of others and does not affect Du Jinning's reputation, she should naturally be happy. But Guan Lehe doesn't know, so he can't teach Du Jinning well. What if this child goes down the wrong path in the future?

Du Jinning knew what she was thinking as soon as she saw Chen's expression, and she might have to educate herself at length for a while. She hurriedly covered her stomach and said pitifully: "Mother, what is there to eat at home?" I am hungry. At noon, there was no oil or water to eat in the academy, and I was hungry very quickly. ”

Chen also knew that Du Jinning was growing up, and he was the least hungry, and the food at home was always prepared before she entered the door, just waiting for her to come back to eat. At this time, she remembered that her three daughters were still waiting for them to eat, and she didn't want to say anything, so she secretly swore in her heart that she must keep an eye on Du Jinning more in the future, lest she go the wrong way.

remembered one thing, before going out, she asked Du Jinning again: "You say, do we want to go back to the village to see your grandfather and grandmother?" ”

Such a big thing happened, according to the practice of ordinary people, as relatives, they first had to contribute money and efforts to find a way to get Du Yunnian out of prison, and secondly, they had to go back more often to comfort and comfort the elderly, which was a manifestation of conscience and filial piety. Otherwise, you will be said to be cold by nature.

Others don't know how Du Chensheng and Du Yunnian treated them before, and they don't know that they have severed their relationship with each other, and they will only watch their actions.

Especially Du Jinning wants to take the scientific examination, Du Fangfei is about to get married, and he has to pay more attention to his reputation. Otherwise, Du Jinning's classmates and Du Fangfei's neighbors in the future mother-in-law's house will have to point fingers at them.

Du Jinning has already made arrangements for this matter: "I will rest the day after tomorrow, and you will go back with me." ”

She chose to put Du Yunnian in prison today, which was also a specially selected day, just to delay it for two days, and wait for Zhang and Du Yunyi to do a good job in Du Chensheng and Niu's ideological work, and then they will go back, so that they don't have to face Du Chensheng and Niu's nonsense.

Thinking about it, there are two days, Du Chensheng and Niu's should also think clearly: they can't count on Du Yunnian for retirement in the future. If Du Yunyi and him Du Jinning are also offended to death, then no one will want to care about them in the future.

The old man and the old lady are also selfish, no matter how much they hurt Du Yunnian, they have to plan for themselves.

Zhang Guangyi was the lizheng, and the villagers were arrested into the yamen, so he naturally knew. As soon as he knew about this, he always paid attention to the movements of the Du family. It wasn't until he saw that Du Yunyi and his wife had returned home, Du Chensheng and Niu's were quite quiet, and they didn't mean to come out to make trouble with Du Jinning, that he relaxed his vigilance, and just asked Zhang Hongwen to tell Du Jinning about the situation when he came to school early the next morning.

The father and son of the Zhang family thought that Du Jinning didn't know about Du Yunnian's arrest, and Zhang Hongwen comforted Du Jinning for a while. The ancient family concept is extremely strong, even if Du Jinning and Du Yunnian sign a severance document, others will not think that they have nothing to do with each other.

Zhang is indeed a very shrewd person, and when Du Jinning left school on the second day, she asked the old man who guarded the door of the academy to leave a message for Du Jinning, saying that she was waiting for Du Jinning in the tea house not far in front.

Du Jinning said goodbye to Zhang Hongwen and went directly to the tea house, and saw Zhang sitting in the most corner, looking up at the door.

"Auntie." Du Jinning walked over and called out and sat down.

Zhang pointed to the tea on the table and said, "It's not good to sit in someone's place and don't want tea, so I asked for a pot of tea." But I didn't think it was clean, so I didn't drink it. Do you want to drink it? ”

Du Jinning shook his head.

Zhang went straight to the point: "Your grandfather and grandmother were unwilling, they paid their own private money, wanted to go to the yamen to do some work, and wanted to come to you, but we persuaded them." ”

As for how to persuade Du Chensheng and Niu's family, she didn't say, and Du Jinning didn't ask. Thinking about it, it is nothing more than saying that Du Yunnian offended Xiao Sanfang too ruthlessly, Du Jinning learned the news, he may run around on the surface, but behind his back, he will make small moves, so that Du Yunnian will suffer a lot in prison, and it may even be possible for Du Yunnian to stay in the border city for a few more years. Only in this way will Du Chensheng and the Niu family let go of this way.

"Your uncle is reluctant to them, since yesterday afternoon, he has followed your grandfather and grandmother around, spent a few taels of silver, begged people everywhere, and finally got a sentence accurately, saying that the cousin of the bitter lord was a small official in the yamen, and he directly let go, saying that whoever received the money to dredge Du Yunnian was unable to get along with him. As a colleague, no one wants to offend people for a little money. What's more, this case was personally judged by Lord County, and Lord County's temperament is the same, and no one dares to plead in front of him. In the end, your grandfather and grandmother also died. ”

She looked at Du Jinning: "But if you have time, you should go back to the village, so as not to let others gossip about you." ”

This sentence is the heartfelt words, Du Jinning inherits Zhang's love.

She raised her hand and arched towards Zhang's and said, "Thank you, auntie." Then he asked, "Is the eldest brother still studying?" Do you plan to keep thinking like this in the future? ”

Zhang's heart was overjoyed, knowing that Du Jinning wanted to give her benefits, and immediately shook his head: "Your eldest brother is not a scholar, for so many years, he can't pass the entrance exam when he goes to the academy every year, and he can't even touch the county exam." He himself was impatient and wanted to find something to do. But your second brother wants to continue studying for a few more years and give it a try. ”

"How is the arithmetic of the eldest brother?" Du Jinning asked.

Zhang smiled: "It's not bad, after all, your uncle is doing this, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and your eldest brother's arithmetic is not bad." ”

Du Jinning nodded.

"I met the shopkeeper of the Cao family, and they are now recruiting Mr. Fang, I don't know if the eldest brother is willing to go. If I want, I can recommend it to Shopkeeper Cao. ”

These books of her have been printed in Cao Ji's books, and she is also familiar with the shopkeeper of the Cao family. Cao Ji's book seal has been passed down for two generations, and there are about ten or twenty brothers and cousins who jointly hold this property. When there are many people, their hearts are naturally uneven. Even if there is a scholar in the family who is willing to come to the accounting room, everyone is not allowed, lest that person do his hands and feet when doing the accounting, and the printing workshop will cheapen the person in that room.

So I've been inviting the bookkeeper outside.

The old man in the original accounting room was about the same age as Du Chensheng, and he suddenly suffered a stroke a few days ago, and even after being cured, he couldn't come out to do the accounts, so Cao Ji's shopkeeper asked Du Jinning to help ask in the academy to see if anyone was willing to go to Cao Ji to do the accounting room.

Their family's accounting office is planning to hire them on a long-term basis, so they naturally want to find young ones. It doesn't matter if you can do accounts at the beginning, just have a good foundation in arithmetic; The most important thing is character.
