Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 40
Du Jinning was worried that they would leak the truth, so he hurriedly called out as soon as Yao's words fell, "Second Aunt, there is still a crime of framing in the yamen. If we can't find the money, will you be punished twice?"

When Chen Shi and Du Fangling heard this, their hearts were relieved.

Everything that Du Jinning did during this period was very appropriate and never made a mistake. Even Du Fangling, who had never been used to her, was convinced by her, let alone Chen Shi.

It seems that Du Jinning hid the dozens of coins in a very hidden place, at least not in a hole in the wall, so Niu would not find them out in a single search.

Of course Yao is not clear about whether Sanfang has money or not. She just judges others by herself, thinking that her family has no worries about food and clothing, so she will still hide some private money. People like Sanfang who lack salt and oil are helping How can a person hide the few pennies that are not extra when carrying logs?Especially after Du Jinning almost died of illness because he had no money to take medicine.

That woman Chen Xiuli is not so obedient.

Thinking of this, she rubbed her neck and said, "You are not the magistrate of the county, and you have framed the crime. If you can't find the money, it's because you are too cunning, and you hid the money too well. What does it have to do with me?"

Holding the silver and copper coins found in the second house in his hand, Niu was debating whether to search the third house.The old man showed his affection to the little bastard just now, and when she turned around, she offended the third housekeeper, fearing that the old man would hit her with a big stick.

Why don't you search, and she is reluctant to part with the money.If Xiaosanfang also hid so much money, if she didn't search it out, wouldn't it be a big loss?
She was fighting between heaven and man, when she heard a light cough behind her, it was Du Chensheng who came out of the room.

"What are you searching for? You, the second family, hide the money yourself, and say that others have hidden it too. You really judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" Du Chensheng looked at Yao shi coldly, "Tonight and tomorrow morning you will Don't eat, just kneel in the yard for an hour when the meal is ready."

"Father..." Yao yelled reluctantly, but didn't dare to say any more.What she is most afraid of in this family is Du Chensheng, who is usually silent and punishes people harder than anyone else.

But thinking about it, she was secretly happy.

It is said to be hungry for two meals, but no one can be hungry who cooks in the kitchen.She sneaked a few bites while cooking, and there she was.As long as her father-in-law still asks her to cook, she won't be hungry.

But Du Chensheng walked a few steps, probably remembered this incident, stopped and said: "Forget it, since we will have dinner together in the future, the third daughter-in-law and Sister Fei will cook together for dinner tonight. Second daughter-in-law, you can kneel now."

"Father..." Yao's cry was as resentful as it could be.

Niu couldn't bear her acting like a baby to her husband, so he stared at her and said, "What's your name? Why don't you hurry up and kneel? In my opinion, one hour is too short, so add another half an hour. "

Naturally, Du Chensheng would not disagree with his old wife over such a trivial matter, and waved his hand: "That's an hour and a half." After speaking, he slowly walked back into the room with his hands behind his back.

Yao shi sat on the ground half paralyzed, looking at Chen shi with shock and anger, not knowing what happened.

She finally understood that Du Chensheng and Niu's attitudes towards the third bedroom had changed.In the past, no matter what Xiao Sanfang did, it was wrong, and Du Chensheng and Niu would be punished.

But now, the people in the third room didn't even scold her, but she was punished again and again. What's going on?

Not only the Yao family, but also Chen's mother and daughter were inexplicably surprised. You looked at me and I looked at you, and finally looked at Du Jinning together with aspirations.

But Du Jinning said: "Mother, go cook with eldest sister, and I will try with third and fourth sisters to see if we can put these wooden boards together."

Mrs. Chen also knew that this was not the place to talk, and said, "Where do you have the strength? We'll get that after we cook the meal." Then he turned around, looked at Mrs. Niu, and asked carefully, "Mother, where are you going?" Cooking?" She still couldn't believe her ears, for fear of hearing it wrong.

Niu pointed to the green brick kitchen of Du's house, without saying a word.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law haven't gotten along well for so many years, and Niu felt awkward when they stopped arguing.

Mrs. Chen gave Du Fangfei a hand, and the two entered the kitchen together.

Niu was worried and followed in.Although Mrs. Chen's cooking skills were the best among the three sisters-in-law, she only cooked corn mush all these years. She was afraid that Mrs. Chen would forget how to cook and spoil the good food.

Seeing this, Yao Shi bit his lower lip with his teeth, poison was about to come out of his eyes.

But she knew that although Du Chensheng had returned to the house, everything in the yard could be seen through the window, and she didn't dare to follow the yin and yang, looked left and right, found a corner sheltered from the wind, moved over there He actually knelt there.

"My lady, what's going on here?" Du Yunnian met his son who was out to play after school on the road. When the father and son came back together, they saw Yao's miserable appearance.

"Mom, why are you kneeling here?" Du Jinshou ran over quickly, wiped his nose, and looked at his mother curiously.

Sometimes he was mischievous, and would be dragged and knelt here by his grandfather and grandmother.But other than him, they are all from the third house.His parents had never kneeled before, so they were very curious.

"Mother found out about the money you gave me." Yao looked at Du Yunian pitifully, then gestured to the room with his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and beg for me."

Du Yunnian is not only lazy, but also an irresponsible coward, otherwise he wouldn't have watched his younger siblings work hard in the fields all day while he was idle.

He glanced at the upper room, shrank his head, and said: "I don't dare." He took his son and went back to the room.

Yao shi was so angry that he wanted to die, but he didn't dare to speak out.In this family, she only dared to throw insults at the junior third bedroom. Facing Du Yunnian who dared to beat his wife, she didn't even dare to fart.

Du Jinshou was remembering his dinner, and was dragged by his father into the house, turning around and asking his mother, "Mother, you are kneeling here, who will cook?"

"Your third aunt." Yao said angrily.

Before Du Jinshou could react, Du Yunnian stopped in his tracks.He turned around and looked towards the kitchen, and sure enough, he saw Du Fangfei coming out with a bowl of vegetables to be washed in his hand. Followed out of the kitchen.

"Mother, this is..." He pointed to Du Fangfei, and then asked Niu Shi.

Seeing this son who was away from home all day, Niu didn't have a good voice, and asked him, "Did you give her the money in your daughter-in-law's hand?"
