Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 43

However, because the dishes at the men's table are always more abundant than those at the women's table, and Mrs. Niu thinks that she has worked hard in this family and has a high status, so she is naturally unwilling to sit at the women's table. Since she became a mother-in-law from a daughter-in-law, she has eaten at the men's table.Du Chensheng knew his wife's temperament, if she was not allowed to eat at this table, he would not be able to eat any good food, so he also acquiesced.It has since become customary.

Because of this, during the days when the young lady didn't come back, Yao Shi was the only one who ate at the women's table in the Du family's upper room, and she was in charge of cooking. If she cooks good dishes but refuses to eat them, and treats them differently, she can definitely do the thing of secretly spitting in the dishes.So every time she eats, she directly divides one person's portion of the meal, and sits beside her to eat, without serving the table, but the meal is the same.

Today, Mrs. Yao was fined and not allowed to eat dinner. If Du Jinning went to the men's table, there would only be four mothers and daughters left at the women's table.Naturally, Niu was reluctant to part with rice, grain and meat, so he asked them to cook the same food as usual.

"You, you, I told you so much, is it in vain?" Du Chen gave her a white look, "Brother Ning is close to her mother and her sister, will she be happy if you do this? If she is not happy, let's do this What's the point? It's better not to do anything at the beginning, lest we get old and shameless to please her, and take money for her to study, but in the end we are thankless and confess to a white-eyed wolf. "

Only then did Niu reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay attention tomorrow."

Only then did Du Chensheng stand up, and said, "I'll go to Big Brother."

The eldest of the Du family had dinner early, Du Yinsheng scalded his feet with hot water, and was about to rest, so Du Yunchang came to report that his second uncle had arrived.He had to dry his feet and put on shoes and socks to go out.

"Sit down." Du Yinsheng greeted his younger brother and looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Du Chensheng didn't speak, just sat there in a muffled voice, looking dull for a while.

Du Yinsheng knew that his younger brother had this habit, whenever something happened, he would come to him, and then he would not speak, he had to wait for him to ask before speaking.In the past, he would take the initiative to ask and help his younger brother to solve the problem, but Du Chensheng's behavior during this time made him feel cold. He didn't say anything, and Du Yinsheng didn't bother to ask. With a cup of tea, he picked up his own cup and drank it slowly.

Du Chensheng was originally waiting for his elder brother to ask him that he would act in another bitter scene, but Du Yinsheng didn't play his cards according to the routine, so he had to find the steps by himself: "Oh..." He sighed a long time.

Du Yinsheng looked at him, but still ignored him.

Du Chensheng had no choice but to take the initiative to speak out: "Brother, what you persuaded me, I have thought about it over and over for a long time these two days, and I think it makes sense. My father, I hope that our two families can have a juren, a Jinshi, so that they can return in an open and honest manner." Go to my hometown and let those people in my hometown see that our branch is promising, even better than them. But..."

Having said that, he sighed and stopped talking.

In the past, Du Yinsheng was relatively calm, but when Du Jinning was involved, he still couldn't hold back and asked, "But what?"

"Well, it's that Niu, you know her love of money. If she wants to, I can beat her and scold her, but I can't divorce her at such an age. And her The Niu family is not easy to mess with. Even if I send Brother Ning to go, according to her temperament, I will have a few fights. Even if I spend money on such a disturbance, I think it will not be good for Brother Ning .So I don’t know what to do with this matter.”

Du Yinsheng glanced at him and frowned slightly.

As a brother for decades, he knows exactly what kind of person Du Chensheng is.Niu Shi is stingy, but Du Chensheng is not a generous person either.Maybe it's because I have been an accountant for many years, and I like to calculate everything, especially when it comes to money. .

Du Yinsheng didn't believe a word of Du Chensheng's words just now.Niu's temper is short-tempered and bad, but Du Chensheng is deep-minded and cunning. Whether Niu agrees or disagrees with family affairs, he will still follow Du Chensheng's wishes in the end. Grumble, but in the end I still listen to Du Chensheng's habit.

So with these words, Du Chensheng can only coax outsiders.Acting in front of my own brother is really not enough to watch.

But Du Yinsheng didn't expose Du Chensheng's little thought.

Why Du Chensheng sang this play, he was clear in his mind.Just want to save some repairs.

Du Yinsheng felt a little chilled about this younger brother.

He said indifferently: "Since the [-] Wen Shuxiu made my siblings feel embarrassed, it should be regarded as a gift from my uncle and grandfather to Brother Ning. I won't go to school anymore. After the new year, you can send Brother Ning over."

Du Chensheng nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you, brother."

"Don't worry, with Brother Ning's qualifications, you will be able to get fame within a few years. Although you have paid, Brother Ning will give you a hundred times and a thousand times in return, trust me." Du Yinsheng was afraid that he would go back He changed his mind again, and quickly took a carrot and hung it in front of him.

"I hope so."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and rest." Du Yinsheng didn't bother to pay any attention to him, and directly gave the order to evict him.

Du Yunchang sent his uncle out on behalf of his father, returned to the house and asked Du Yinsheng: "Father, what is Second Uncle here for?"

"Hmph." Du Yinsheng sneered, "He wanted to send Brother Ning to study, but he was reluctant to spend money, so he came to act in front of me."

Du Yunchang's eyes widened in surprise.

Du Yinsheng cared about the brotherhood and rarely said anything wrong about his younger brother in front of the juniors.But what Du Chensheng did during this period of time opened his eyes, and at the same time made him chilling.He didn't hide it at all, lest his son suffer from this second uncle's hands in the future.

He asked Du Yunchang to sit down, and told Du Yunchang about some things about Du Chensheng, including Du Chensheng did bad things when he was a child and planted the spoils on him, and he cheated his boss after he became a bookkeeper.Then he said: "In the future, you should guard against the second wife, and avoid conflicts of interest with them."

He sighed: "I'm still alive, and your second uncle still has some scruples. If I'm not around, they might still have ideas about our family's property. Although you won a scholar, you have a reputation. In front of the county magistrate You can also send a post to say something. They dare not come to the public, but they are afraid that they will come to the dark. You have never been in officialdom or shopping malls, and you don’t know the dangers of people’s hearts. Once they use their brains, That’s really unavoidable.”
