Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 52
She took Du Jinning's hand: "In the future, I hope you can help your elder sister more. You will have a future in the future, just don't forget the grievance your elder sister suffered."

Du Jinning felt uncomfortable.

Although Sun Gui was as hardworking and honest as Mrs. Chen said, 22 years old was already an older youth in the eyes of the ancients, but in Du Jinning's eyes, he was still young, and his age didn't matter.If he was really a good person, it would be fine for Du Fangfei to marry him.After all, it is impossible to be poor forever.Just as I told Du Jinning, she just needs to help out more in the future.

But Sun Gui didn't look very good, and he wasn't very tall. He probably didn't even have the stature of Du Fangfei, and he was very honest. Sun Dazhu and his wife would listen to whatever they said.Such a person, according to Du Jinning's understanding, is incompetent, useless, foolish and filial. Du Fangfei is too reluctant to marry him.

She was very dissatisfied.

She asked: "Then his family can afford a dowry? Will grandparents agree to this marriage?"

With Niu's virtue, it would be a ghost to agree to this marriage.

Chen shi gave a wry smile, and the tears that had stopped before flowed down again.She shook her head: "How is it possible? Without a betrothal gift of seven or eight taels of silver, how could your grandmother let go?"

She looked at Du Jinning, reached out to touch her hand, then pulled her into her arms and hugged her tightly, as if she wanted to absorb some warmth from her: "There is only one way to cut off your second uncle's thoughts, That is, after dinner, I will quietly take your eldest sister out and send her to the Sun family overnight, and let her and Sun Gui pay homage to the Sun family in front of me and my wife."

Du Jinning opened his mouth wide.

She didn't expect Mrs. Chen to have such determination and come up with such a way to break the cauldron.

"Even so, we won't be able to avoid a beating, but it's worth it to save your elder sister from the sea of ​​suffering. Besides, your grandfather still wants you to take an examination of merit, and he will definitely not beat us all to death. As long as there is life Now, a beating is nothing."

Du Jinning nestled in Chen's arms and remained silent for a long time.

It's not that she's afraid of being beaten, it's that she's not willing to give up Du Fangfei's life just like that.The Sun family is obviously not a good match, but Du Fangfei married into the Sun family in such a way. In the future, not only in the village, but also in the Sun family, she can't hold her head up even if she thinks about it?
"Mother, I don't agree." She broke free from Chen Shi's arms, looked at Chen Shi, and said seriously.

"Then what other ideas do you have?" Chen's eyes lit up, he wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and looked at Du Jinning expectantly.

Du Jinning looked away, not daring to look at Chen Shi.

What can she do?She just felt that she hadn't reached that point yet.If Du Yunnian hadn't planned on Du Fangfei, wouldn't they have ruined Du Fangfei's marriage by doing so?

"Mother, listen to me, these days you are always with the three older sisters, don't let them be alone. If the second uncle just promises the elder sister's marriage, there will be at least a period of time before they get married, and there will be a turnaround There is room for trouble, and when the time comes to make a fuss, think of a way, just like last time, just withdraw the marriage.

Isn't the second uncle short of 30 taels of silver?I went to the city again last time and sold a book of Chinese stories, and now there are four taels of it.Moreover, Young Master Guan Qi of the academy also reserved two copies with me. When I write those two books, there will be eight taels of silver.Although it is still a little short, but if I hurry up and write three story books, the money will be there.At that time, I will borrow 15 taels from Brother Zhang's family or my uncle's family, or let Li Zheng and my uncle be in charge, and let my grandparents pay the 15 taels.

Anyway, no matter what, we can't just arbitrarily decide on big sister's life.Although the life of our family is hard, the elder sister is still protected by you and me, but the work is harder; when we separate the family, the hardship will be over.But on the other side of the Sun family, it is bottomless, and it will be a lifetime of suffering, and that Sun Gui is not necessarily someone who can love his wife, he will only listen to his parents.Even if we help, can the money and good things get into the hands and mouth of the eldest sister?However, there are a bunch of younger brothers and sisters under his family. If they want to raise them and help them marry their wives and make dowry, when will it be the end? "

There was something else she didn't say.Sun Dazhu had a broken leg, and he could no longer work to support his family, and Sun's wife was sick, so she couldn't work either, but the two of them still wanted to have another child.If Du Fangfei married in the past, he helped the couple raise their children here, and they continued to have children there. At that time, Sun Gui and Du Fangfei would also have their own children. It would be so hard that the whole family would have to starve to death No.As the saying goes, saving the emergency is not saving the poor.Even if she is capable of making money, she can't support the Sun family, right?
Such a family is a big pit, if you fall into it, you will not be able to climb out.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen was also shaken.

That's right, what if Du Yunnian didn't hit Du Fangfei's idea?Didn't they destroy themselves by messing themselves up like this?

"I'm afraid that your second uncle will sell your eldest sister to that messy place." Chen said.

"That's why I asked you to put a few sisters in jail for a few days." Du Jinning said, "Even if he wants to sell, he has to trick the eldest sister out; Dare to insist? At that time, we will let the villagers judge. Why did the grandparents not pay the debts owed by the second uncle, but sell the elder sister instead. I think, even if the uncle and the aunt know about it, it is also true. I can't agree. Don't forget, Da Fang also has a second sister, who is also at the age of marriage. If the eldest sister is sold to such a messy place, what good family can the second sister find?"

As soon as Mrs. Chen stretched out her hand, she hugged Du Jinning into her arms again, and tears fell out again: "You are right, you are right, it's my mother who was confused, and almost did something stupid. That's right, you didn't say anything Wrong, things haven't reached that point yet."

She let go of Du Jinning: "Don't worry, I've been staring at your elder sister like an eyeball these few days, and I won't relax for a moment."

"Not only the eldest sister, but also the third and fourth sisters. None of them can relax. If the second uncle can't get the elder sister's idea, he might hit the third and fourth sisters. We can't take advantage of him."

"En." Chen nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I will take good care of them."

"Mother, Brother Ning, where have you been?" Du Fanghui's voice suddenly came from the other end of the Du family.

Chen and Du Jinning looked at each other, Chen quickly wiped away the tears, said yes to the other side, and dragged Du Jinning home.

Du Jinning was worried that when Mrs. Chen saw Du Yunnian for a while, her expression would show unnaturally, and she told her: "Mother, after a while, you will say that you have suffered from the wind and have a headache. Let us bring you a meal and go back to your room. Don't meet the second uncle face to face." , I’m afraid he’ll see the clues. Throwing the grass will startle the snake, and he’ll take precautions, and maybe something else will happen.”
