Zhao Xin, as Lao Tzu, was a little embarrassed by Zhao Yan's robbery at this moment, but he immediately retorted: "Xiaolang, what are you talking about?" Why don't you say how much age difference I have between me and the little lady of the Yan family, how can we ...... How can you push people into the fire pit, and besides, if they don't even enter the cave room, how can they be considered widows? I see this...... I think it's better to forget it, thank you for the kindness of the Zheng family's sister-in-law. ”

For more than a year, Zhao Xin has not only put his energy on the winery, but also has to do laundry and cooking, make beds and fold quilts, and take care of Zhao Yan's diet.

"How can we say it's a fire pit? My father is only thirty and three this year, it was back then, not to mention that I have a talented son, just that the wine shop can earn a few hundred taels for our family every year, and the Yan family's little lady marrying her is not an insult to her, Aunt Zheng said right? ”

Zheng is not very clear about the relationship between father and son, and at this time, seeing Zhao Yan talking to Zhao Xin so casually, he said in his heart that if his son dared to talk to him like this, he would have been slapped and vomited blood by his Lao Tzu a few times, but she naturally would not say what was in her heart.

"Yes, yes, what Xiao Xiucai said is reasonable, the second brother Zhao thinks about it again, women are always better at taking care of people than men, look at Xiao Xiucai's thin ......"

Zhao Xin blushed and said, "I'll ask someone to buy a maid tomorrow and come back......"

Zhao Yan saw that the cheap father seemed to be a little moved, so he hit the railway while it was hot: "The maid must be bought, but it will not be possible until the house is changed. Aunt Zheng, I think it would be better for you to arrange an opportunity for my father to meet the little lady of the Yan family first? ”

"Let's make it, let's go back and find a way to arrange it, Xiaoxiu just wait for the news." Zheng smiled and nodded.

Under the double offensive of Zheng and Zhao Yan, Zhao Xin finally agreed half-pushed, Zheng has been a matchmaker for many years, although men and women are not kissed, and the two sides cannot meet before they get married, but there are always people who are not willing to marry or marry someone who has not even seen the appearance of the person, so Zheng is already familiar with how to arrange a clever meeting between the two sides.

After Zheng left, the father and son stared at each other in the courtyard, and after a while, Zhao Xincai smiled bitterly: "Xiaolang, I know that you are smart and assertive, but why did you agree to come down for me just now?" After your mother left, I never thought about marrying again, after so many years, I just want to watch you grow up safely, and then marry a wife and have children......"

Zhao Yan interrupted with a smile: "Dad, I know that you only have my mother in your heart, but my mother has been gone for so many years, and you have to take care of me and the workshop on weekdays, which is too tiring." Now our family is also a middle-class family, the house needs to be changed, the maid needs to be bought, and your lifelong major events must be solved as soon as possible. After all, the harmony of yin and yang is the way of heaven, the solitary yang is not born, the solitary yin is not long, if the yang and yin in a family are prosperous, it will not only affect the fortune of the whole family for a long time, but also ......"

Zhao Yan's next few words were mostly metaphysical terms, and Zhao Xin only understood a rough idea, but he was quite concerned about it, and hurriedly asked: "And what?" ”

Zhao Yan blinked, took a few steps back and said, "And what if you suffocate?" ”

Zhao Xin thought blankly for a moment, suddenly his face turned red, and he raised his hand to hit Zhao Yan, and said in his mouth: "You stinky boy, you dare to ridicule your Lao Tzu, it seems that I beat you too little." ”

Zhao Yan had already escaped to the gate of the courtyard, he turned to the cheap father and said: "Anyway, I have already told Aunt Zheng, you can go and have a look, if you don't like it, forget it, if you fall in love with our family, it's not that you can't afford the dowry." ”

Zhao Xin's face turned red, he put his hand down, and asked, "I'll go to the workshop first, don't you want to prepare for the township exam?" I haven't gone into the house to read a book yet. ”

"I'm going to buy a few books in the bookstore in the city, and by the way, I'll go to Wang's house to see the jujube red horse, if it's easy to learn on horseback, I won't have to take a carriage when I go far away in the future, my bones hurt."

……………………

"Senior brother, look at the teeth of this horse. The pony is born with only 16 teeth, and after a year it will give birth to 28 teeth, and after two years, it will grow another 4 molars, and after six years, the horse's teeth are all out, the mare has a total of 38 teeth, and the male has a total of 40 teeth, so this is a ......" Wang Lin spat on the stars, and introduced himself to Zhao Yan with a smug face.

Zhao Yan wiped his face, took a few steps to the side, and said lightly: "This is a stallion." ”

"Uh......" Wang Lin looked at Zhao Yan dumbfounded and asked, "Senior brother, how do you know that this is a stallion?" Have you read Soma's book? ”

Zhao Yan pointed to the crotch of the jujube red horse, and said with a dark face: "There is such a big lump below, you can see it from afar." ”

Wang Lin suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "I see, but if senior brother wants to learn to ride a horse, he has to change to another horse, Xiaohong's temperament is too strong, I'm afraid of hurting you." ”

There are only three horses in the Wang family's stables, except for Wang Lin's jujube red horse named 'Xiaohong', the remaining two horses are a horse pulling a cart, and an old horse whose teeth are about to fall out.

Zhao Yan looked at the old horse whose teeth were about to fall out, and then at the colt pulling the cart, and wisely chose the latter.

This is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old horse, with loose muscles, dull fur, poor appearance, and its temperament has long been polished in the career of pulling a cart for many years, which is suitable for Zhao Yan, a junior brother who has never ridden a horse.

After Wang Lin prepared the saddle bridle for Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan climbed on the horse with a little embarrassment, and then Wang Lin walked back and forth in the small courtyard where the stable was located.

"Senior brother, can you take me with you next time you go out?" Wang Lin took the reins and turned around and said to Zhao Yan on the horse.

Zhao Yanzheng devoted himself to the novelty of 'walking horses', and asked casually when he heard this: "Is Wang Yuanwai willing to let you go out with me?" ”

Wang Lin pursed his lips when he heard this, and said, "My father can't wait to let me study in the study all day long, how can he let me out?" I mean, the next time you go out, senior brother, I will secretly go with you, even if my father finds out, we will already walk out of the realm of the Deep State, and he will never let people chase me back. ”

Zhao Yan glanced at Wang Lin at this time, and said with a smile: "I went out to take the imperial examination, what are you going to do with me?" ”

"Oops." Wang Lin scratched his head in annoyance, and said: "I know in my heart what material I am, let alone going to the imperial examination like you, senior brother, I can't even read the Four Books and Five Classics, but my father wants me to take you and my eldest brother as an example, study hard and then gain fame, I really can't stand it, so I want to go out for a walk." Senior brother, if you go to the exam, I'll show you the luggage, and if someone bullies you, I'll beat him up, anyway, I don't want to stay at home for a moment. ”

"This ......" Zhao Yan hesitated for a moment, Wang Lin was obviously aroused by his father's rebellious psychology, so he subconsciously wanted to stay away from Wang Ye, but Wang Lin also knew that he would go out with him, and he didn't think about running away from home directly, which was also a blessing in misfortune, Zhao Yan was really afraid of this little brother with a tendon in his brain, in case he really ran away from home and was fooled by some indiscreet people.

Wang Lin looked at Zhao Yan with anticipation, he trusted his cheap senior brother in his heart, so he directly told Zhao Yan what he was thinking at this time.

"No problem." Zhao Yan responded, but before Wang Lin was happy, he said again: "But you can't secretly go with me, I will have a good talk with Wang Yuanwai." ”

Wang Lin muttered with a sad face: "My father will definitely not agree, I wouldn't have told my senior brother if I knew it......"

Zhao Yan heard Wang Lin's muttering and knew that he didn't believe that he could convince him Lao Tzu, Zhao Yan was afraid that this muddy boy would really run away from home without saying goodbye when he was depressed, so he comforted Wang Lin and said: "I will definitely convince Wang Yuanwai, if I can't convince Wang Yuanwai when I fall, I won't go to the exam." ”

Wang Lin looked at Zhao Yan with scrutinizing eyes and questioned, "The tone in which you and my eldest brother speak is becoming more and more similar. When we were children, we went to peek at the Song widow in the town taking a bath, he patted his chest and said that if he was discovered, everything would be up to him, but the result was really discovered by the Song widow, and he ran away in a blink of an eye. ”

Zhao Yan looked at Wang Lin with black lines on his head, and said for a long time: "Why don't we go to Wang Yuanwai now?" ”

Wang Lin suddenly smiled and said, "No, no, senior brother, you just swear an oath, if you don't talk at that time, you can ...... I will punish you to peek at Widow Song taking a bath. ”

"Your sister." Zhao Yan couldn't help but stretch out his leg and kick Wang Lin, but in the end, he really couldn't do anything about him, so for the sake of Wang Lin's heart, he had to make a 'poisonous oath' according to what he said.

With Zhao Yan's promise, Wang Lin was naturally happy in his heart, and the pace under his feet became faster and faster, and in order to keep up with Wang Lin's pace, the horse naturally walked faster and faster, and in the end it was almost a trot, only Zhao Yan on horseback was churning in his belly, very uncomfortable.

"Stop......" After Zhao Yan stopped, he rolled off his horse and sat on the ground, and it took a while to regain his breath.

Wang Lin tied the horse to the stake, walked to Zhao Yan and sat down next to him, but Zhao Yan got up and patted the dust on his body and said, "Let's practice here today, I'm going to the city to buy a few books." ”

As soon as he heard that Zhao Yan was going to the bookstore to buy books, Wang Lin suddenly lost interest, he watched Zhao Yan walk out without looking back, and couldn't help but instruct: "Senior brother, don't forget what you promised me, you swore a poisonous oath." ”

The word 'poisonous oath' touched Zhao Yan's nerves, he paused his steps, and then turned his head to Wang Lin and smiled: "Senior brother, is the Song widow in the town good-looking?" How's the figure? ”
