Chapter 66: Lady Kim's Calculations

"Mother, what are you talking about?" As soon as Mrs. Jin's words came out, the whole carriage shook, because Jin Shan jumped up all of a sudden, and he even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

"I said that this Li Zhang is good, if I can recruit him as a son-in-law, my little sister will have a good home in the future!" Mrs. Kim spoke again.

"Mother, are you confused, you are going to marry me off when I am so little?" Jin Xiaomei is usually not used to being big or small, but when she heard her mother's words, she immediately said with a reluctant face, this can't be blamed on her, after all, she never thought of getting married so early.

"What do you know, a good woman is hard to find, and a good husband is also hard to find, if you don't start early, maybe someone will be preempted tomorrow!" Mrs. Jin glared at her daughter fiercely and said, don't look at Mrs. Jin's kind appearance, but in fact, she is the one who really speaks at home, as long as she is angry, the Jinshan brothers and sisters dare not talk nonsense.

"Mother is right, a good husband is indeed going to rob, not to mention anything else, every time the imperial examination is released, there are a bunch of families waiting to rob the unmarried Jinshi, even if this Jinshi has already gray hair, but as long as they are not married, there are many people's daughters lining up to marry him!" At this time, Xu Shi also opened his mouth and agreed, and her views were the same as those of Mrs. Jin.

"I don't like sour readers!" Jin Xiaomei protested again when she heard this, she just didn't want to marry anyway.

"That's right, Li Zhang is not a scholar, but he has a lot of advantages, he can start from scratch, which shows that he has the ability, and your brother obviously wants to forgive his father's debts, but he wants to pay it back, and he can also take the initiative to rescue your eldest brother when he is sick, and there are more than a dozen orphans around him, it can be seen from these things that his character is quite good, such a man is a good candidate to be a husband!" Mrs. Jin spoke again, and it seemed that she had identified Li Zhang, the son-in-law.

"This ...... Li Zhang's character is really good. Jin Shan heard the old lady's words and thought about it carefully, and finally nodded and said, as the so-called eldest brother is like a father, as a father seeing his daughter get married, he must be uncomfortable in his heart, so he was also a little opposed just now, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he feels that his mother's vision is really good.

"Big brother, why don't you help me?" Jin Xiaomei saw that even the eldest brother who doted on her the most agreed, which made her very angry.

"Your eldest brother said this precisely for you, Li Zhang, this kid I think is good, Jinshan, you pay more attention, find a time to probe his tone, if Li Zhang is willing, then set this family matter first!" Mrs. Jin was very domineering at this time.

"I want to marry you, I won't marry!" Jin Xiaomei is also a donkey temper, and when she heard this angry scream, she jumped out of the carriage and ran away, looking like she wasn't even going to go home.

Seeing that the little sister ran away, Jin Shan just wanted to get out of the car to chase after him, but was stopped by Mrs. Jin, and then she only let a few family members follow, and at this time Jin Shan said to his mother with some puzzlement: "Mother, even if you fall in love with Li Zhang, there is no need to force your sister so much, if you take your time, maybe your sister will not be so resistant." ”

"What do you know, Li Zhang's identity is not simple, if he doesn't settle down early, maybe someone else will preempt him!" At this time, Mrs. Jin glared at Jin Shan again and reprimanded.

"What do you mean, could it be that Uncle Cousin ......" Jin Shan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard his mother's words, and then asked impatiently.

"Yes, your cousin is well-informed, after he learned that you and Li Zhang knew each other, he let people inform me that this Li Zhang has an extraordinary background, if you can climb the relationship, don't miss it!" Mrs. Jin said very seriously at this time, it is inconvenient to say these words in front of her daughter, but there is nothing to hide from the Jinshan couple.

"Mother, what is the origin of this Li Zhang, who makes my cousin value it so much?" Xu Shi couldn't help but show a surprised expression when she heard Mrs. Jin's words and asked, she originally thought that Li Zhang was just a small businessman who opened a braised meat shop, but she didn't expect Mrs. Jin to say this, no wonder she was so determined to be engaged to Jin Xiaomei just now.

"Your cousin didn't say it, and I don't know, but the person who can make your cousin specially confess is definitely not ordinary!" Mrs. Kim spoke again.

"Mother, are you too calculating?" Jin Shan said a little dissatisfied at this time, on one side is his friend, on the other side is his sister, if the two really look at each other and come together, he will not object, but now his mother is so calculating, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

"What's the calculation, although our family looks good now, but you also know that your cousin doesn't listen to persuasion, I always feel that something may happen to him in the future, we can't put all our eggs in one basket, if we can catch Li Zhang's line, maybe we can save our family's life in the future, and my little sister can also have a good home!" Mrs. Jin said seriously again at the moment, she is a person who thinks of danger in times of peace, and for the safety of her children in the future, she will make plans so early.

Hearing his mother say this, Jin Shan didn't know what to say, and finally could only sigh helplessly, people in the rivers and lakes, he couldn't help himself, sometimes he had to do something against his will, but in the end he was still a little unwilling to say: "What if Li Zhang is unwilling?" ”

"A man is unwilling to marry a woman, it is nothing more than two, either this woman is too ugly, or this woman brings too few benefits, our Jin family is not short of money, although the little sister is a little fatter, but as long as she loses it, the length is not bad, from tomorrow, let her lose weight with you!" When the Jin couple said the end, they also showed a bit of a fierce expression on their faces, and they had to say that if women were ruthless, they would be much more ruthless than men.

Li Zhang didn't know that he had been targeted by Mrs. Jin, at this time he was meditating on writing a weight loss list for Jin Shan, or that sentence, weight loss is to keep his mouth shut and open his legs, so there are only two parts on his list, the first part is a fixed amount of exercise, and the second part is the formulated weight loss meal.

In fact, weight loss is not that you can't eat meat, this Jinshan mother and son have entered a misunderstanding, the real weight loss meal should be light, less oil, less salt and less sugar, especially rice and noodles and other staple foods must be eaten less, because this thing is originally starch, after decomposition is all sugar, as for foods with high protein content, you can eat more, such as lean meat, chicken, fish, beans and so on.

Weight loss meals are too common in later generations, a search on the Internet is a lot, Li Zhang was also fat when he was thirty years old, mainly because his small belly got up, so he also lost weight for a period of time, and he is no stranger to weight loss meals, combined with the dietary characteristics of the Great Song Dynasty, Li Zhang quickly listed several weight loss meals, which can be eaten by Jinshan instead of being too boring.

But just when Li Zhang was writing the list, he didn't expect someone to knock on the counter suddenly, Li Zhang suddenly looked up, but found a young man about twenty years old standing in front of him, looking a little familiar, but Li Zhang couldn't call the other party's name.

"Brother Li, I'm living next door to you, surnamed Meng." This young man was very knowledgeable, and when he saw Li Zhang's confused face, he hurriedly introduced himself.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Meng, you came to buy braised pork again today?" Li Zhang heard the other party's introduction and immediately patted his head and said, this Brother Meng is indeed his neighbor, Li Zhang's house is Zhou Laoshi's soup and cake shop to the west, and the east is Brother Meng's home, but he should not be bad for money, obviously he has a shop and does not do business, he is tired of being with his wife every day, and occasionally comes over to practice some braised meat, and wild dogs often hear that someone "fights" at night, which is made by their young couple.

"I'm not here to buy braised pork today, but I want to talk to you about business with Brother Li!" I saw this Brother Meng say with a smile.

"Business?" Li Zhang also looked at the other party in surprise when he heard this, this Brother Meng has a shop and does not do business, and he usually dresses brightly and buys things very generously, such a person really does not look like a businessman.

"Then I'll say it directly, in fact, I want to rent out the yard where I live now, because my mother is pregnant, and my father finally agreed to let my mother go home, so this small courtyard is idle and idle, it is better to rent it out to collect some rent, so as to save some private money for my mother." I saw this Brother Meng say directly.

"Listening to what this means, Brother Meng, does your father not agree to the marriage of your husband and wife?" Everyone has a heart for gossip, and Li Zhang is no exception, and he can't help but inquire curiously when he hears this.

"That's right, my father thinks my mother's family is from a low background and doesn't agree to our marriage, so I eloped with my mother, and now my mother is pregnant with a child, and my father's old stubbornness finally relented!" I saw that when this Brother Meng said this, his face was also full of pride.

"Admire and admire, Brother Meng is really temperamental!" Li Zhang couldn't help but praise when he heard this, in this era when marriage pays attention to the life of parents, Brother Meng dared to resist his father and succeeded, which can indeed be called a feat.

This Brother Meng is indeed a man of temperament, and he is also very proud to hear Li Zhang's praise, and immediately pulled Li Zhang to tell him how he got acquainted with his wife, and then how to fight wits and courage with his stubborn father, Brother Meng should have read a book, and his eloquence is not bad, the whole thing makes him talk about a hundred turns and thousands of turns, and he is full of anger, which is no worse than the palace fighting blockbusters of later generations, Li Zhang also listened to it with relish, and as a result, the two of them forgot about the business.

It wasn't until the end that it was almost dark, Brother Meng finished telling his experience, and then he remembered his intentions, and said with an embarrassed smile: "What, I'm a bit talkative, I see that your business here is very good, and there are many people in the family, such a small yard will definitely not be able to live, my yard is bigger than yours, and there are two wings, if you think it's okay, I can rent it to you!" ”

"This ......" Li Zhang showed a hesitant expression at this time, renting a house is nothing, but he also has a concern now.
