Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 10
Du Chensheng was surprised for a moment, then frowned and lowered his head without saying a word.

"Three-year-old is old, and seven-year-old is old. Yunyi and Yunnian are the three of them. I won't say much. You know what your two sons look like. Our family's Yunchang is almost 30 years old. It took a lot of effort to qualify as a scholar at the bottom of the list. It is really not easy to go further. The younger generation, Brother Cheng and Brother De also followed me to read a few times. I know their aptitude best for those who read the year books; let alone Brother Shou, if he can read a few words, it would be good to go to the city to find a job in the future. With them like this, our family can count on Who will go? Now that Brother Ning's natural talent for studying is not cultivated, don't you want to have someone from your family who is a scholar, a Jinshi, who will honor his ancestors and go back to his hometown in a glorious manner, fulfilling his father's last wish?"

Du Chensheng still lowered his head and remained silent.

Du Yinsheng frowned, and said in a low voice, "What on earth are you thinking? Say something!"

Only then did Du Chensheng raise his eyelids, and said: "I've been like this to him, and I don't believe that he doesn't have resentment in his heart. In the end, I spent money to cultivate a person who hates me. What am I trying to do?"

Du Yinsheng looked at Du Chensheng in astonishment, then fell silent for a long time.

He knew that what his younger brother said was very reasonable. Who would be willing to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to train him if he knew that the other party had hatred for him, and it would be good if he didn't take his life first?Isn't this raising tigers?
But let him abandon Du Jinning, but he is not reconciled.

He thought for a while, and said: "How about this, from now on, you should treat him and their room better, ease the relationship, and take a look at the child's disposition. If he is a grudge, this matter will not matter." I mentioned it; if he is kind-hearted and understands the pain of your bereavement, we will offer him to study again? Although he is a bit older, he is ten years old, and it may be too late if he does not go to school. But with his Aptitude is a year and a half later than others, so it's no problem if you think about it."

Seeing that Du Chensheng just lowered his head and refused to agree, Du Yinsheng knew that he was unwilling, so he immediately lowered his face: "You have to be clear, even if you don't have the qualification of being extraordinary, with today's matter, I will deal with Brother Ning's matter." It is also necessary to intervene. This is not just a matter of your own house. You abused your grandson and granddaughter. Not only Brother Cheng and Brother De had a great influence when they said they were kissing. Yunchang’s reputation will be criticized. Now who in the village doesn’t point fingers at you? If you don’t have the slightest love for your own grandchildren, how can others expect you to be good to others? The reputation of our Du family has been completely ruined by you Clean it up, if I don't get involved, let's not stay in this Peach Blossom Village."

Du Chensheng has had enough of the comments and different looks from the villagers today.He is also a person who needs face.Their Du family has some background, both he and Du Yinsheng brothers were able to read and write.He was not qualified enough to be an accountant, while Du Yinsheng was admitted as a boy student, and he was very respectable as a private school teacher. The two brothers each had twenty acres of land under their names, and they could be regarded as respectable people in the village. Li Zheng didn't dare not give them face.

But today such a thing happened, those people who usually respect and flatter him don't know how to gossip behind their backs, which makes him feel irritable when he thinks about it.

Besides, what Du Yinsheng said was true.

"Then what do you say?" he muffled.

Seeing that his younger brother didn't go all the way to the dark, Du Yinsheng's expression softened, and he said: "First of all, you should quickly withdraw tomorrow's marriage for Sister Fei, and return the dowry in front of everyone. Go back; the second is the place to live, Yunyi and the others don’t often live at home, even if they come back occasionally, Brother Cheng and Brother De can live in one room, you can free up a room for the third daughter-in-law and Fei My sister and the others live together; Brother Ning is ten years old, men and women have different seats at seven years old, and he can't live with his mother and sister all the time. Doesn't Brother Shou live in a room alone? You can make another bed in his room, let Brother Ning shares a room with him. Besides, even if you don’t want to eat with them, the rice, grains and vegetables have to be the same as yours, don’t treat them differently, it’s nothing to talk about.”

There are nine good houses in Du Chensheng's house, three in the main room, one for Du Chensheng and his wife; Still teaching three grandchildren there.There are three rooms in the east and west rooms. The three rooms in the east room house Du Yunyi, his wife, their daughter Du Fangzhi, and their youngest son Du Jinde; Fang's eldest son, Du Jincheng.

Originally, the third room also occupied two good rooms, but after Du Yuncheng's death, Du Chensheng and Niu tried to force Chen to drown Du Jinning and failed, so they drove the first room to the cowshed.Cattle are precious to farmers, so the Du family built a cowshed in the yard.Later, the eldest daughter-in-law Zhang, who was born in the city, thought it was stinky, so she asked the second elder to build a cowshed outside.At the beginning, in order to protect Du Jinning's life, the Chen family did not dare to fight against her in-laws, so she took her daughters and moved to the cowshed honestly. Over the years, they have been working hard on the cowshed, and they have lived there until now.

When Du Chensheng heard this, his expression changed, and he said: "House and food are easy to discuss, but since the marriage has been agreed, how can it be so easy to withdraw? Even if I agree, Niu will not agree."

"You..." Du Yinsheng pointed at Du Chensheng, hating iron but not steel, "If she doesn't agree, you will divorce her. Otherwise, your family will get out of Taohua Village." He didn't bother to pay attention to Du Chen Sheng, flicking his sleeves, went out angrily.

Niu Shi is a brave person who can only get in and out, she has been married for decades, doesn't Du Yinsheng know?But it's not that Du Chensheng can't help his husband, as long as he gives an order, Du Yinsheng doesn't believe that Niu can be stubborn and not take out the dowry.But Du Yinsheng talked about this point, saying that if this continues, Du Yunchang's reputation will be affected, and it is not easy for him to be a private school teacher, but Du Chensheng still only cares about the idea of ​​dowry, and does not treat his brother's family Du Yinsheng was really chilled by his life and future.

Du Chensheng has some face in the village, except for his own wealthy family, it all depends on Du Yinsheng.Du Yunchang is a scholar, he can talk to the magistrate even.Many of the 40- to [-]-year-old heads in the village who are as old as Du Yunyi have studied with Du Yinsheng and call him "Mr."If Du Yinsheng spread the wind and cut off contact with Du Chensheng's family, the life of Du Chensheng's family in the village would be difficult.

Du Chensheng stood up, heaved a long sigh, got up and went into the back room.
