Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 63 Help
"Well, I'll do it as soon as possible." Du Jinning promised.

She turned her head and looked at Zhang Hongwen: "Brother Zhang, I ask you one thing."

"What's the matter, you said."

Du Jinning told about Du Yunnian's gambling debts and his plan to sell Du Fangling to a brothel, and said, "No matter what, I won't let them sell my sister, so I would like to ask you to help me."

Guan Jiaze didn't expect such a thing to happen to Du Jinning's family, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Your family has money and land, and your grandfather and grandmother are going to sell your sister?"

Even Zhang Hongwen, who knew the inside story of the Du family, did not expect Du Chensheng and the others to go too far.

He said angrily, "Tell me, I will help if I can."

"Thanks to Master Guan's care, I can earn some money by writing the storybook. My mother and sister do daily work and can support themselves. I don't have to rely on my grandparents for a living. So I want to take advantage of this matter to make a fuss. Separate our room. We have to trouble Uncle Lizheng to help us talk about it. After we are separated, can I change my age by two years and help us set up a separate household?"

Without waiting for Zhang Hongwen to speak, she hurriedly said, "Of course, it's okay if the later request is difficult. No matter what, it's better to separate the family first. After two years when I grow up, I will start a separate household."

Zhang Hongwen also went back to ask his father about changing the age and opening a household.It's not impossible to do this, it's just that it has finally fallen into the hands of others.If it is exposed later, it will have an impact on Lizheng, so it is considered a risk.There is no benefit at all, of course Li Zhengzhang Guangyi is not willing, even if he rejects his son.

Therefore, Zhang Hongwen never mentioned this matter to Du Jinning again, and Du Jinning wisely didn't ask again.

Today, if she asked such a question, there was nothing she could do.

Even if they were separated, if they did not register, Du Chensheng would still be entitled to control the fate of Du Fangfei and the sisters. If they wanted to marry, they would marry, and if they wanted to sell, they would sell.In the ancient times when there were no human rights, Du Jinning, a minor, couldn't protect them at all.

That's why she had the cheek to bring it up again.

Sure enough, Zhang Hongwen showed a look of embarrassment: "My father said, this matter is difficult."

Guan Jiaze, who was next to him, understood the matter, and interrupted at this moment: "It's not about making your age younger, but about making it older. What are you afraid of?"

"But if the grandfather of the Du family comes to the county, my father won't be able to afford it."

"Don't be afraid, now Du Jinning is my uncle's disciple. As long as my uncle goes to the county government to say hello, even if they come to make trouble, we can suppress the matter."

To Guan Jiaze, who was an official, this matter was nothing at all.

When Du Jinning and Zhang Hongwen heard this, their eyes lit up.

"Also, I think my uncle thinks highly of you." When Guan Jiaze said this, he was afraid that Du Jinning would not understand, so he explained, "Mr. Guan Shan is my uncle, my dear uncle."

Seeing that Du Jinning nodded, expressing his understanding, he continued: "Since he has accepted you as his disciple, he has to take care of your family affairs. Tell him about your family situation, and he will definitely help you when the time comes."

Du Jinning came here today for this purpose.

Before the incident of Du Yunnian's debt, she also planned to borrow the academy to achieve the purpose of separating the family.Of course, she didn't think of borrowing Guan Lehe's name at the time.

She had analyzed the temperament of her uncle Du Yunyi and her aunt Zhang, and knew that if she came to study in the academy, they would definitely disagree.When the time comes to let Du Yinsheng intervene, Du Chensheng may agree to separate their room.

But he didn't want Du Yunnian's incident to happen again. With the help of the head of the mountain, the division of the family is even more secure.

She made a bow to Guan Jiaze and Zhang Hongwen: "Thank you two big brothers for your help, Jin Ning is very grateful."

Guan Jiaze waved his hand and asked curiously: "Just now inside, you told my uncle to take care of it first, and now you said to ask my uncle to help you. I was confused. What exactly are you planning?"

"I want brother Zhang to tell my uncle the news of my admission to the academy."

Guan Jiaze and Zhang Hongwen waited for a long time, but when Du Jinning did not see any more, Zhang Hongwen asked in confusion, "That's it?"

Du Jinning nodded: "That's it."

Seeing the puzzled faces of the two of them, she said: "My uncle and grandfather would definitely like me to study in the academy, but my grandfather and grandmother are not willing to give up the money. When the time comes, maybe we will be separated from our room. In this way First of all, I don’t need to spend money on me, but when I pass the examination as a scholar, they will get the best of both worlds, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds? Now, my second uncle gambles outside again, and my eldest aunt was very dissatisfied with him because of his idleness. Seeing that he owes so much money now, and might lose the family business in the future, is she also looking forward to the separation? And my eldest aunt can be the second half of our Du family. "

When she said that, the two of them understood.

Zhang Hongwen said: "Don't worry, I will tell my grandfather the news when I go back today."

Guan Jiaze also said: "If the trouble reaches a certain level and your family doesn't let you go to school, you can come to me and I will take you to ask the head of the mountain."

"So thank you two big brothers." Du Jinning bowed again.

Seeing that all the students who took a break had come out of the house, and there were more people in the academy, Du Jinning knew that it was time for their afternoon classes, so he hurriedly bid farewell to the two of them.

After leaving the academy, she didn't delay on the street, but directly hired a mule cart on the street, and quietly returned to the village.

When they got home, Du Chensheng and Du Yunian had already returned from the city.The faces of the father and son and Niu were not good. It was obvious that the casino was not accommodating and made them miss the doubled 15 taels of silver.

"You haven't been home all day, where have you been?" Niu was angry, seeing Du Jinning coming back from the outside, he lifted the curtain from the upper room and asked.

Zhang Hongwen would tell Du Yinsheng about going to the city today, and Du Jinning didn't hide anything, and said directly, "I'm going to the city."

"What?" Niu raised his voice a little, "Where did you say you went?"

In her impression, Du Jinning was just a country boy who had never seen the world, and would not dare to leave the village. She really never thought that this boy would be so courageous, that he would even dare to go to the city.

"In the city." Du Jinning glanced at Du Chensheng who came out from the curtain, and added, "Brother Zhang asked me to go to their academy, so I went there."

Seeing that Du Chensheng was stunned, she didn't finish the calculation, so she added another thunder: "In the end, I met the head of the mountain and Brother Zhang's husband, Mr. Huang. They had heard that Brother Zhang said that I was very good at reciting books, so they took me. After reading the book, I tried it, and the head of the mountain immediately planned to accept me as a disciple."
