Duanmu Xuan expressed her true feelings again, although Situ Yan was moved in her heart, but after all, no one knew the future path, and she couldn't make up her mind now, so she had to continue to pretend to be stupid.

There were still two days left for the test on this day, and Li Dalang suddenly came to Situ Yan.

"Little Wu, do I have something I want to discuss with you?" Li Dalang sat in the chair and felt a little cramped, not only flustered, but more heartache. But he hid his heartache very well and didn't let his little sister find out.

"Big brother, just say it!" Situ Yan thought that Li Dalang was worried about the hospital exam, but she didn't notice his other expressions.

"Yan'er, I have figured it out these days, since I want to get married and continue the incense of the Li family, I want to find someone who knows the roots, at least she must be able to respect her brothers and Xiaowu! Otherwise, I'd rather not marry! ”

"Big brother, this marriage is a major event in life, but it can't just be for others, but also for the eldest brother!" Situ Yan was a little puzzled why Da Lang suddenly came to her to talk about this. In the past, as long as family affairs were mentioned, Li Dalang either kept silent or diverted the topic. I couldn't help but look at him twice.

"First, I'm not too young, and the people in the village are staring at our family, if we don't get married again, I'm afraid that even Erlang's family affairs will be delayed. The second is that I also have a favorite woman, so I came to discuss with Xiao Wu! Speaking of the word "like", Li Dalang didn't even dare to raise his head, it was the first time he lied to his little sister, only he knew in his heart that he would like others except for his little sister, and he said this just to make his little sister feel at ease.

Situ Yan thought that Li Dalang was shy, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him directly. There was some secret joy in my heart. It's rare that Li Dalang has someone else in his heart, so he didn't ask deeply, just asked who the person he liked was.

"Big brother. The person you like is Lin Tao, are you sure? Although Situ Yan had planned to do so before, she didn't expect things to come so suddenly, which made her more or less vigilant.

"Yes, this one, Lin Tao has no relatives in the family, and there is no drag from his mother's family. Two and a little five are her saviors. She is from a slave background, so she will naturally respect her brother and respect you! And Lin Tao is also literate, and he is also diligent. Being a housewife will not lose her identity! Li Dalang didn't say that Lin Tao was good-looking, which was what he liked, which made Situ Yan wonder again, but it was rare for Dalang to like it. She wanted to ask more. I was afraid that Da Lang would misunderstand and think that she was unhappy, so I had to hide the doubts in my heart and send my blessings with a smile on my face.

"Since the eldest brother has thought about it, then after the hospital test, I will go to redeem Lin Tao and change his nationality, and our family should also do a great event!" Situ Yan's happiness was like a pinprick in Li Dalang's eyes. With a heart full of holes, he left the study and returned to his room.

Saburo has been waiting in the house, although the eldest brother is going to marry him, although he has not told Jiro and Shiro. told him, also because San Lang was the one who knew his mind best among the four brothers.

"Big brother. Although Lin Tao is not bad, but you don't like her, you are too wronged to marry her like this! Saburo somewhat disagreed with the recklessness of the eldest brother.

"The heart is dead, and marrying anyone is just to pass on the incense, which is also what you have to do as a big brother! Little San, your mind, how can I, the eldest brother, not know, the eldest brother has nothing to persuade, and the eldest brother will support you in whatever you want! Li Dalang thought that he had no chance to marry the little sister, if the third brother could marry the little sister, at least the family could still be together.

"Big brother!" San Lang could see Da Lang's dead eyes and knew the pain in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only pat Da Lang on the shoulder and give him a comforting look.

Li Dalang walked out of the study, but Situ Yan was silent, she could see that Li Dalang didn't really like Lin Tao, all because there was still her shadow in Li Dalang's heart, if the two got married and had children in the future, maybe Li Dalang would slowly forget her, and the husband and wife might be unhappy because of her existence when they first got married, but if the development is good, the ending may be beautiful.

Thinking about it, she was naturally relieved, and took out the Li family's account books and took a look, although she would not prepare ten miles of red makeup for Lin Tao, but it was definitely more grand than the marriage of ordinary women. Even if it wasn't for Lin Tao or Li Dalang, she would have to make the wedding lively.

The next day, Situ Yan began to prepare for Li Dalang's marriage, while taking care of the bodies of the five people, after all, there is another day of the college exam, whether or not he can pass the test is not a success just by hard work, Situ Jin is also a little nervous, he hopes the most among the five, but if he fails, he is also the most disappointed.

After dinner, Situ Yan accompanied Situ Jin for a walk in the yard, "Brother seems to have slept unsteadily in the past two days?" ”

"Yan'er, although I am confident as a brother, I am afraid that the article will not enter the eyes of the invigilator, in case of a falling grandson, what face will I come back to see you, Mr. Gongsun! I am also ashamed of Ziheng's sincere recommendation! Situ Jin sighed and looked up at the starry sky.

"Seek things in people, succeed in the sky, sometimes it is not that we will have good results if we work hard, why should my brother be obsessed with temporary gains and losses, not this year, I will take the test again next year, not next year, I will take the test again the year after tomorrow, I believe that with my brother's talent, one day I will have to taste the clothes I wish to return to my hometown!" Situ Yan wasn't worried at all, unless the examiner was blind, Situ Jin would definitely be able to pass the exam.

"The world is unpredictable!" Situ Jin also knows that with his own knowledge, there is no reason to do it, but he is still nervous.

Situ Yan understood that this matter could not be persuaded by her, and when she entered the examination room, there was no problem as long as it did not affect her recovery. All she could do was take care of her brothers' bodies and pray for them, leaving the rest on their own.

At this time, Situ Yan was very glad that she was a daughter, so she didn't have to take any imperial examinations, and she didn't have to bear the responsibility of the glorious lintel! This is also the only place in ancient times where she feels comfortable!

The next day, the brothers were sent to the tribute courtyard, and he continued to go back to the mansion to be busy, and it was another three days, this time when Situ Jin came out, he swept away his previous worries, and there was a light smile on his face, and he didn't need Situ Yan to ask. I also know that Situ Jin's test is not bad.

Sure enough, the list was released five days later, and Situ Jin High School. And just after noon, news came from Henan County that the four brothers of the Li family had all passed the exam. It's just that the ranking is behind, and Li Erlang is even more narrowly out and wins the last place. But in Situ Yan's opinion, it's good to be able to pass, whether he is the first or the last, anyway, now Li Erlang also has the fame of Xiucai.

Fuxiang Village produced four talents at once, and the fact that they were out of the same door caused a sensation in the entire Henan county. Even the county magistrate came to the door in person with a salute to say goodbye. Not to mention the village masa of other villages. And those who wanted to marry the Li family surrounded the Li family. Situ Yan got the letter and directly took the four of them to the capital mansion and hid them.

"Ah, Little Five. I'm finally saved, and if I don't escape, I'm going to be annoyed to death by those people! Li Sanlang sat on the chair in the study room in the outer courtyard of Situ Mansion, looking tired.

"Yes! Xiao Wu, you didn't see it, until after the county order came. There has never been a break in the family. Even from getting up in the morning until it was dark at night, these people stayed in the courtyard and refused to leave, and the eldest brother gave several eviction orders, but these people didn't hear it! Shiro also looked worried.

Jiro took a bite of the snack, he hadn't eaten a full meal in a few days, and now he only cared about the snacks on the table.

Da Lang kept his head down and didn't say a word, he was naturally happy to be able to pass the exam, especially when he saw that his little sister was happy for himself. I was even more happy in my heart. But when I think of the next marriage, my heart will ache.

"Our family is not the only happy event!" Situ Yan's face was excited. Of course she is happy, when she taught the four brothers of the Li family to read, she was waiting for this day, and now she no longer has to worry about the future livelihood of the four people, even if the four of them divide the family in the future, they don't have to pay for the service, which is a blessing that ordinary people can't ask for in a lifetime.

"What's more?" Shiro asked excitedly, sticking his head out. Instead, Saburo smiled and glanced at Da Lang worriedly. Da Lang only shook his head lightly at San Lang, no matter how painful his heart was, he would not show it, at least the little sister was happy at this moment, he just wanted to see the little sister's smile.

"I often hear people say that there are four joys in life, 'a long drought and a sweet rain, a foreign country meets an old acquaintance, a cave house flowers candle night, and the gold list is inscribed.'" We waited for the first happiness as early as the drought in Lijia Village, and on the way out, we were able to meet the second happiness. Now that the brothers are on the gold list, coupled with the eldest brother's family affairs, they have experienced all four joys in life! Hearing Situ Yan say this, Erlang and Shiro were both happy, and the eldest brother was finally willing to get married.

"Big brother, are you really planning to marry your sister-in-law?" Jiro looked so excited that he even got up from his chair.

"Hmm!" Da Lang couldn't say anything about his suffering, so he only responded lightly. San Lang couldn't stand it, so he pulled Erlang's clothes and let him sit down. "Okay, it's a happy event for the eldest brother to get married, and the brother should help!"

"Yes, yes, if the eldest brother has any orders, just say it!" Looking at the excited younger brothers and sisters, Li Dalang gritted his teeth and persevered even if he felt painful and uncomfortable.

Situ Yan told the four of them what she thought in her heart, "Although the house has not been built for a long time, it is still old after all, it is just the beginning of spring at this time, and the third and fourth brothers are also busy with spring vacation, so it is better to help paint the house new!" The eldest brother can no longer live in the east wing after becoming a parent, or move into the main house, no matter how you say that the eldest brother is also the head of the family! ”

"No, I still live in the East Chamber, and the main house is still reserved for Xiao Wu! Otherwise, it doesn't matter if you don't marry this relative! Situ Yan was stunned, she didn't expect Li Dalang to still put her first at this time, it was not good to go on like this, but she could also see Li Dalang's seriousness, and knew that he was desperate, so he had to listen to his arrangement.

"As for the dowry, I will prepare it according to ten lifts, 50 taels for each lift, I don't know what the big brother thinks?" Situ Yan originally planned to press 100 taels per lift, but Li Dalang was afraid that he didn't want to accept it, so he changed it to 50 taels.

"How can you use so much, the poor family gets married, but the dowry is only ten taels or eight, which will make people gossip. And the dowry should be prepared by myself, and I can't use Xiao Wu's money! Li Dalang objected one after another, and even Erlang shook his head, that is, if they themselves marry in the future, they will never spend a penny on Xiaomei, which was discussed by the four brothers at the beginning.

"No, ten taels and eight taels are too little, how can it be so simple for our eldest brother to marry!" Situ Yan also insisted on her own ideas, it is rare to hold a happy event at home, even if it is simple, it can't be too shabby. In fact, Situ Yan only takes money too lightly when facing her relatives. If it is an ordinary family, fifty taels is considered a rich person. If it had been placed in the past, two taels of silver would have been able to marry a daughter-in-law.

"Xiao Wu, the eldest brother understands your intentions, but the dowry is what the husband's family should prepare, if I, the eldest brother, beg for a daughter-in-law and spend my sister's dowry silver, how can I still see people when I say it. If so, I'd rather not marry! This is the second time that Li Dalang has said that he will not marry, Situ Yan sighed, she even wondered if she was in a hurry, she should not wait for some time, she was really afraid that Li Dalang would be unhappy after getting married.

"Little five, just listen to the eldest brother, over the years, we have come out of the field, set up stalls to sell, and some of them have been saved, and they are all used for the eldest brother's marriage, how can there be fifty taels. And now we don't have to pay more silver, and we don't have to pay taxes for farming in the future, we can earn another fifty taels in a year or two, and then we will give it to the second brother to marry. As for me and Xiaosi, it's still early! It's time to save it in the future! The four brothers agreed with San Lang's words, even if Situ Yan objected, it was useless.

"Okay, the dowry is according to the eldest brother, but the dowry has to be done according to my wishes, Lin Tao has no maiden family, so he married from Situ Mansion in Henan County, five dowries, ten taels each, a set of gold and silver heads, a wardrobe, a table and chairs, etc. ......" Situ Yan thought that Li Dalang's dowry was only fifty taels, if she gave too much, Lin Tao's arrogance would extinguish Dalang's prestige, so she halved what she originally thought, which was all her mind and Li Dalang's face.

"Xiao Wu, you don't need so much dowry, just prepare some four-season clothes and palms, and a set of silver-headed noodles!" Li Dalang didn't like Situ Yan to dress up Lin Tao, and he didn't know why.

"That's not good, no matter how you say it, Lin Tao also went out from Situ Mansion, I can't treat my sister-in-law badly as a sister-in-law!" This is awkward to say, but it is Situ Yan's heart for the Li family brothers, and of course they understand.

"Okay, it's up to Xiao Wu!" This time, Li Dalang no longer objected, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, and he was so tired that he didn't even want to say more.

"As for matters such as 'auspicious days', 'Geng stickers', and 'marriages', I will find someone to calculate and then discuss with my eldest brother! My brothers are tired today, so let's go back to the house and rest, and we'll discuss what we have for dinner! After sending the four of them out, Situ Yan was silent for a while.

Is it really proper for Li Dalang to decide on marriage in such a hurry? But she couldn't even respond to Duanmu Xuan's intentions, how could she respond to Li Dalang's intentions, the two of them were destined to be brother and sister. The more I thought about it, the more hesitant I became, and when I was at a loss, I saw Situ Jin pushing the door in. (To be continued......)
