In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Huan found Uncle Lin, told him that the matter had been completed, and asked him to bring the shopkeeper Qiu to see him, the eldest brother had already explained the matter, and it was beneficial to Zhang Xuan, so Zhang Ruofeng did not embarrass Zhang Huan, and handled it very quickly, and the delivery was completed that night, and Zhang Xuan also got the house.

In the late autumn season, the sky always looks so high, the breeze blows, the blue sky does not have a trace of white clouds, under the sky, red and golden yellow become the main colors of this season, even including people's faces, because of the harvest looks radiant.

After the harvest, it is also the season to talk about marriage, and the faces of young men and women are even more red, the boys are excited and excited, and the girls' faces are more shy.

But for the Lin family, this is the last autumn they spent in Taiyuan, after this autumn, they will return to their hometown, there are still many things to be settled before returning to their hometown, Lin Delong will no longer admit time-consuming patients, and the treatment of old patients will be over; The second uncle, Lin Deli, needs to return all the credits, and some old medicines that have been backlogged for many years must also be sold.

As for the wife, Yang Yuniang, she has to consider all kinds of favors, she has lived for more than ten years, and there are still a lot of exchanges, whether she owes people a favor or not, if she has, she has to find an excuse to clear it up.

Yang Yuniang rummaged through the old tent in the room for a whole morning, and after lunch, she pulled her husband into the room, stared at his eyes and said solemnly: "Da Lang, do you remember Mr. Qiao Hougen Qiao?" ”

"Why don't you remember, he is a gentleman who knows fools and soldiers, and even Pingping has studied with him for a few years! Didn't we go to him at the beginning of the year to celebrate his birthday? ”

Seeing that his wife was serious, Lin Delong couldn't help but scratch the back of his head and wondered, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with Mr. Qiao? ”

"You!" Yang Yuniang complained to her husband: "Have you forgotten? At the beginning of the year, when we went to pay homage to the birthday, the old man liked Ping Ping very much, what did he say at that time? ”

Lin Delong thought about it, and suddenly realized, "You mean Pingping and that Qiao Gongzi's affairs." ”

Qiao Hougen is a scholarly family, in the scriptures can be called an authoritative champion, Mr. Qiao was the Emperor Xuanzong in the early years of the Hanlin worship, several provincial examinations in the Kaiyuan years are his questions, after the Anshi Rebellion, he returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, opened a school to educate his children, Lin Delong's two sons Lin Zhiyu and Lin Zhibing are Qiao Hougen's children.

At the beginning of the year, Mr. Qiao had his 80th birthday, Lin Delong and his wife took Ping Ping to pay his birthday, he liked Ping Ping very much, and proposed to marry Lin Ping Ping to his grandson Qiao Yushu during the banquet, Lin Delong agreed to come down because of the situation, and Lin Delong also forgot about it afterwards, today Yang Yuniang looked through the old objects and found Qiao Yushu's birthday sticker, and then remembered this matter.

But Lin Delong didn't think so, Qiao Yushu he had seen, all day long he only knew how to read and write, and his words were full of sourness, he didn't like it, he saw that his wife was very worried, so he smiled and comforted her: "I haven't mentioned this matter for more than half a year, I guess the Qiao family has forgotten, this is not a favor, don't care about it!" ”

After saying that, he turned around to leave, but Yang Yuniang was anxious, grabbed him and said, "Da Lang, you are really confused!" This is not to repay the favor, Ping Ping is eighteen years old this year, do you still think she is the yellow-haired little girl who drags her nose? She's going to get married, you know? ”

Lin Delong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "She is eighteen years old this year?" How do I think she's still an eight-year-old girl. ”

"Don't I blame you? By her temperament all day long, like a silly boy, do you know what everyone calls her? Saucepan! Listen, is this still a girl's name? ”

The more Yang Yuniang talked, the more frustrated she became, and in the end, she had to sigh and say: "Originally, Eighteen Lang and her childhood sweetheart, his mother also likes Pingping, the two of them are the most suitable, but I can also see that Eighteen Lang treats Pingping as a sister, and he doesn't have that kind of idea at all, and he can't force others." ”

Lin Delong's face was gloomy, "What idea does he want, two people become biological children, just live an ordinary life, what do you like or dislike, now she is a sister, and she has to be called a lady after worshipping the church!" ”

Yang Yuniang shook her head, "That being said, we are leaving soon, when will we see each other again?" Three or five years, I can't afford to put it off! Besides, people want to go to Beijing to take the exam, and you can't mention this matter now, in my opinion, the Qiao family is a scholarly family, and if you marry her, you won't lose her, we might as well give it a try. ”

Lin Delong pondered for a moment, and then said in a non-negotiable tone: "Then you have to like him Pingping, in this way, you let Zhiyu invite that kid from the Qiao family to come over for a meal, and let Pingping meet him, if Pingping is willing, then I have no opinion." ”

．．．．．．．

In the afternoon, Yang Yuniang sent her son to Qiao's house, and Qiao's family also knew that although the two sides did not match, but Old Man Qiao liked to be calm, so he agreed to come down and chose an auspicious day, which happened to be the next day, and Qiao Yushu came to Lin's house for lunch.

Yang Yuniang was overjoyed, and immediately called her eldest daughter to help with the staff, plus her daughter-in-law, the three women could just discuss it, as for Pingping, she couldn't tell her yet, otherwise it would be bad.

Early the next morning, Yang Yuniang and Qiaoqiao called Lin Pingping into the house, enlightened her well, told her about the relationship between a woman's age and marriage, and gave her a large number of examples, saying that women can't marry when they are old, how tragic their fate is, in short, you are already old, it is time to get married.

Lin Pingping agreed to her mother in everything, but as soon as she went out of the gate and saw the blue sky like the sea, her heart involuntarily turned into a white cloud and melted into the boundless sea.

Nearly noon, Qiao Yushu, who has a strict family style, arrived at the Lin family on time, he is twenty-one years this year, is the last grandson of Mr. Qiao, it is said that he has a deep ancestral heritage, and he is knowledgeable, but looking at his thin body and bones, it always makes people doubt this.

His face was thin and pale, because he had been studying in the house for many years and had not seen the sun, and today he was wearing a flat scarf and a white skirt, and a green robe on the outside, but he did not look so thin.

Since he came to see the ceremony, he also carried the five-colored snacks in his hand, he hurriedly got off the carriage, only to see that the gate of the Lin family was full of people, and the people who came to see the doctor were sitting on the steps, and they were eating the dry food and water they brought.

Qiao Yushu frowned, pinched his nose and carefully passed through the patient, lest he be rubbed and bring some unknown epidemic home.

Lin Delong happened to send a patient out, and at a glance he saw Qiao Yushu who was walking on thin ice, and his face sank at that time, such a delicate son-in-law, I am afraid that I can't afford it.

Qiao Yushu easily walked up the steps, and as soon as he looked up, he happened to see Lin Delong, hurriedly straightened his clothes, and said with a long salute: "Uncle Shi is on top, the little nephew Yushu is so polite!" ”

"Oh! Here you are, sit inside! Lindron forced out a smile and beckoned him into the lobby.

At this time, Lin Delong's eldest son Lin Zhiyu happened to come out, he and Qiao Yushu were former classmates and friends, and the relationship was very thick.

At the dinner table, Lin Delong didn't say a word, just lowered his head and took a big bite of rice, while Yang Yuniang was extremely enthusiastic about Qiao Yushu, and kept adding soup to him, persuading him to persuade him to persuade that, lest he be hungry, but Qiao Yushu thought that the beautiful and gentle Lin Qiaoqiao was mediocre, and secretly looked at her from time to time, with admiration in his eyes.

Lin Qiaoqiao's face was swollen red, she couldn't stay any longer, so she put a pot of vegetables on the table and whispered, "I still have a little business!" ran into the back room, Qiao Yushu watched her back disappear, savoring her gentle voice, and her heart was drunk.

Lin Zhiyu saw that he was not familiar with popular affairs, and he couldn't see that his sister-in-law's hairstyle meant that he was married, so he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Just now my eldest sister Qiaoqiao has already been married, what Yushu wants to see today is my second sister Pingping, I don't know if you have seen it last time when the old man celebrated his birthday?" ”

"Graceful?" Qiao Yushu thought about it for a long time and couldn't remember the scene of his grandfather's birthday, but Da Qiao is so gentle and beautiful, then Xiao Qiao should be better than his sister, thinking of this, he was overjoyed, although it was late autumn, but if there was a feather fan, he was willing to fan it.

Qiao Yushu looked around, but he didn't see the beautiful woman, so he asked Yang Yuniang with a smile: "May I ask Lord Lin, where is Miss Wanwan now?" But makeup in the boudoir? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he only heard Lin Delong snort, then coughed violently, covered his mouth and was about to leave, Yang Yuniang grabbed her husband and glared at him fiercely, hating and anxious for Pingping's delay in returning, she should have made it clear to her.

At this time, she heard hurried footsteps outside, as if someone was running towards this side, so she immediately reached out and pulled the side door open, ready to grab her daughter in.

Outside the door is the side alley of Lin Zhitang, connecting the street and the open space behind, usually very few people come, only to hear the footsteps getting closer and closer, run to the door, only to find that it is not Lin Pingping, but a little boy about eleven or two years old, he is carrying a wooden Qinglong Yanyue knife, sweating profusely, is fleeing in panic, Yang Yuniang was disappointed, was about to close the door, suddenly she heard Pingping's voice, a stone in her heart finally landed, turned back to Qiao Yushu and smiled: "Pingping learned embroidery, just returned." ”

Qiao Yushu suddenly realized, the look of anticipation in his eyes became even stronger, and at this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, it seemed that there was more than one person, only to hear Ping Ping pinching his throat and saying angrily: "Then where did Guan Yunchang flee?" Xu Gongming, you can bring him over within an hour! ”

"Yes!"

Immediately, I saw another little boy with a flushed face rushing through the door, but carrying a wooden Xuanhua axe on his shoulder, everyone looked at each other, Yang Yuniang secretly screamed in her heart, and didn't wait for her to close the door, only to hear the little boy shouting excitedly: "Prime Minister, the last general has caught Guan Yunchang!" ”

"Good! Credits you for your first work. ”

Finally, Lin Pingping, who had been waiting for thousands of people, appeared with a frying pan, and she led a large group of little boys to 'hulala!' Rushing through the door, she turned her head, and saw a room full of people looking at her dumbfounded, so she hurriedly stopped, scratched the back of her head embarrassedly, and said, "Mother! I'm about to leave, so I'll play with them one last time. ”

Qiao Yushu blinked his eyes, opened his mouth and asked, "Please, may I ask Lord Lin's mother, do you have three daughters?" ”

Lin Delong laughed, pointed at Lin Pingping and said, "Young Master Qiao, this is the little girl Pingping, do you like it?" ”
