Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 74

Mrs. Liu knew the virtues of her sister-in-law and younger siblings, so she would curry favor with those who benefited the most. Now that she has no benefits on her side, she said such things.

But just wait, it's not certain who will have the last laugh.

August [-]th was coming soon, and Du Youzhong brought Dalang and Erlang back one day earlier. At Du Yu's house, new rice was made out of a basket of dried rice for everyone to taste.

More than half of them were sold by the Qi family with their sons, and the money was collected. Now it is not only enough, but also has savings. Who doesn't want more money on hand?
When Du Youzhong came back, Mrs. Qi discussed with him that he would find a wife for Du Youquan, the fifth son, and Mrs. Hu at home would follow her. Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Zhao were both pregnant, so they could marry their youngest son's wife so that they could share the burden. housework.

I don't have any worries about marrying Du Youquan a daughter-in-law. The family lives well, and I'm sure after the autumn harvest, there will be many matchmakers coming to the door.

Du Youzhong and the others also brought two large watermelons from the county to use during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As for the mooncakes, they are all bought, and the country people can't make mooncakes by themselves.

Du Yu doesn't like mooncakes very much, so he only ate half of them.

In the evening, the whole family gathers to eat together, and the moon in the sky is extraordinarily round. Compared with last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is really a world of difference.

However, no one in the country has the habit of admiring the moon and reciting poems. Even Du Youzhong, who won the prize of a scholar, would not do this kind of thing.

Everyone just chatted, chatted, and talked about Grandma Hehua stealing rice, and then there was a burst of criticism, and everyone felt more comfortable when they said it.

Dalang and Erlang also talked about some things about the academy. In fact, they are also quite curious about their life in the academy, so there is nothing wrong with asking.

"Okay, let's all wash up and go to bed. Boss, you are leaving tomorrow, so don't delay too long." After Mrs. Qi spoke, everyone went to wash up and do their own work.

Du Youzhong and the others don't start class until August [-]th, but Qi thinks it's better to go back early on August [-]th, at least when they go back, they will have time to sleep well.I have more energy the next day.

Du Yu and Hu's naturally wanted to follow. Qi's originally wanted to keep Du Yu at home, so he could help her anyway, but he thought that the two pregnant daughters-in-law should not be too delicate, and they were not young mistresses. Can't work anymore?
So let Du Yu go.

And this time, they asked Du Youzhong and the others to bring several bags of new rice to eat from their own fields, which could save a lot of money.

When Du Yu and the others returned to Jinxi Academy, they met several groups of people who also went home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, such as Yan Xiucai, Yang Xiucai and the others, who also brought back a lot of things.

Everyone laughed when they saw it. This is really the same goal by different routes.

Du Yu and his family were away these few days, but after they came back, Du Youzhong's students came to the door with their things.

The Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th is an important festival of the year. Respecting teachers is also a virtue of this era. During this Mid-Autumn Festival, many students will ask their families to prepare things and honor their husbands.

Du Yu’s family has been visited by students in person for the past few days. The gifts are various, such as moon cakes. The festival is over, so there is no need to send them. The gifts are all kinds of dim sum, and they are all made by famous dim sum shops in the county. from.

There are also fruits, fish, ducks, etc. Sure enough, those who can study in this Jinxi Academy have a certain background in their families. Of course, it is not to say that Jinxi Academy only accepts children from rich families. For poor families, sometimes the bundle repair will be reduced or exempted.

But most of them are people who can read books. Du Yu's house has also kept the students for dinner these days, which is very lively.

Du Yu also came out of the hall. What kind of family is the Mi family in this county.

The Mi's family in the county is not a big deal, but they have their own family in the capital, and several of them are high officials. Because of this, even the county magistrate is very polite to the Mi's family. The Mi's family is equivalent to Yunyang. The nobles of the county.

For ordinary people like Du Yu and the others, the Mi family can be regarded as a wealthy family.As the saying goes, crushing you is like crushing an ant.

Du Yu didn't think there was any intersection between them, and he didn't inquire about it deliberately, but heard it by chance.

It's just that the old aunt is actually related to the Mi family, which is really beyond Du Yu's expectations.

You must know that the old aunt is just a merchant family, and the Mi family, which looks like an official family, is still in the county, so it has nothing to do with it at all.

Let's put it this way, the old aunt is considered a local tyrant in their town, but in the county town, the level of local tyrants in the county is something they can't even look up to. Could it be that the Mi family doesn't know the old man at all? Auntie.

This day, Du Yu and the others had an unexpected visitor. It turned out to be the Chen Yuer from last time. Why did she come?

It should be said that Du Yu didn't have a good impression of this Chen Yu'er. She was spoiled like that at a young age, and she looked down on others when she spoke.

How could someone like her come to them?And that old aunt didn't come over, which is strange.

When my father was selected as a scholar, Mrs. Chen Du came to congratulate her. Unlike the first time, putting on airs, she became 'kind and amiable'.

This time Chen Yu'er came here with a few servants. When she got out of the car, she was a little reluctant, but seeing Du Yu forced a smile, she called out, "Cousin Yu'er."

They all came to the door on their own initiative, and she was just a little girl, so it was impossible to drive them away. Hu also wondered why this Miss Jiao came to their side.

Fortunately, there were also older people who followed, I don't know if it was Chen Yuer's nanny or who, anyway, Chen Yuer just sat upright and didn't talk to Du Yu, the older servant woman beside him saluted Hu and Du Yu with a smile, Then he said: "My uncle and wife, because our old lady will come to the county in a few days, we know that my cousin and my uncle are here at Jinxi Academy, so we sent our lady here first, and relatives close close."

What this means is that Chen Yu'er must first stay at their house for a few days, and then take her back when Chen Dushi comes.

It's really annoying to get people over without saying hello.

Moreover, Chen Yu'er might not be happy to live with them, after all, the conditions here are not very good.

Mrs. Hu hurriedly said: "There are only a few rooms in the house. Your young lady has been well-clothed and well-fed since she was a child. How can she live with us? I think it's better to forget it. We also know in our hearts that we can come and see us. You don't have to be together."

Hu's will not agree to everything, just kidding, with such a person here, the family will still be in a hurry?
The servant woman said: "But now that we have arrived at the gate of the city, it is time to close the gate. If so, we will have to sleep in the open at the gate of the city, you see."

After hearing this, Mrs. Hu said: "Then let's do this, you will make do with it here today, and go tomorrow."

"Thank you, uncle and wife."

As long as she can stay, the relationship can be eased a little, so it's not considered her dereliction of duty.Busily winking at Chen Yuer, Chen Yuer reluctantly said to Mrs. Hu, "Thank you, cousin."

Mrs. Hu didn't care either, she didn't have to get angry with a child, luckily her mother-in-law didn't follow her, otherwise she would definitely scold them when she saw these people.

Du Yu gave up his own bed, and shared a room with his parents at night. That room was reserved for Chen Yuer's master and servants, and a grocery room was reserved for the driver, who made a floor bunk on the ground.

When Du Youzhong and the others came back, they also saw this unexpected guest. Chen Yuer's nanny Wang also reported the matter to Du Youzhong respectfully, and Du Youzhong nodded, "In this case, it's time for me to greet you in a simple way."

"My cousin is too polite. We should be the ones who were rude." Nanny Wang knew that Du Youzhong was the head of the family, and he was the one who won the prize. The old lady also said that she wanted to have a good relationship with this man. They have to pick up the points. Anyway, their family is just a merchant, and it is incomparable with this scholar. Although they are richer than the Du family, their status is different.

On the Du family's side, the Qi family is a pungent guy, and he can't make sense at all, so he can only come here. Du Youzhong is Chen Du's nephew at any rate, and when he walks around, the relationship starts to develop.And in the future, it is not too late to support and support him, to take some examinations for juren and Jinshi, and to spend more money.

At that time, there will be an official nephew as a backer, will their business still worry about it?

It's just that Chen Dushi also knows that it has been difficult to mend it now that he has not been in contact with each other before, but Chen Dushi also knows that as long as there are interests and benefits, there is nothing that cannot be done.

Their family is rich, and if they have money, they can benefit others. At that time, won't the relationship get better and better?

Of course, you can't just use money to impress people, there should be emotions everywhere between people.

So Chen Du took advantage of this visit to the county and asked Chen Yuer to come to Jinxi Academy in advance to have a good time with Du Youzhong and the others.

It's hard to refuse a child here, especially Du Youzhong also has a daughter who is about the same age as Chen Yu'er. When children play together, feelings will naturally come.

In Chen Du's heart, Chen Yu'er is good everywhere, and no one would dislike her. Even she would feel happy after hearing what Chen Yu'er said. It doesn't make sense for the Du family to coax her. Before coming, Chen Du'er also talked to her Chen Yuer and Wang NaiNiang explained and explained, but Chen Dushi forgot that Chen Yuer would make her happy because Chen Dushi could bring her a lot of fun, delicious and beautiful clothes and jewelry, and she looked down on the Du family from the root. Woolen cloth.
