Of course, Li Qian knew the reason why his father was in a hurry to urge him to go back. Come to think of it, it's just because the marriage was not decided, so I thought about letting myself go back and act as a punching bag for him.

Lin Beiji's reaction can be said to make him score exactly the prediction, although Li Jinglun did not eat the closed door that day, he really touched a soft nail.

With the previous farce of divorce, the Lin family didn't have the face to mention the divorce again this time, and only found all kinds of reasons to prevaricate and perfunctory, that is, even the bad excuse that their daughter was still young can be pulled out, which shows that the thickness of Lin Beiji's face is comparable to the city wall.

Lin Qiuyun is in her twenty-eighth prime, and if she is placed in the next life, she may still be in high school, and she is indeed a little younger. But in this era, if a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl has not yet married, it can really be regarded as a "late marriage".

At present, the Ming Dynasty has been established for less than 30 years, and after experiencing the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the population will naturally be greatly reduced, so as early as the early years of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang has issued a decree stipulating that the age of civil marriage is 16 for men and 14 for women. And if the woman is not married by the age of fifteen, the government will also fine the family.

If you don't marry until you are twenty years old, the government will not be polite to you, and your own official media will come to your door to force you to marry.

At that time, I really didn't have to pick for you, "older leftover men" basically won't be in the big family, it's not easy to want to be the right person or climb the high branches, the rest are basically crooked melons and cracked dates, if you want to look good, if you want to have no character, if you want to have no family background, referred to as "three no personnel".

It's just that the government's forced marriage measures are actually mainly aimed at women, and men don't need them to worry about it at all, and they don't plan to worry about it.

After all, no matter what era, there is a serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women without exception, not that men don't want to marry, but you can't find so many girls to assign to them------

Of course, big families are not stupid, and they usually set a good family affair in advance, even if it is to let their daughter marry three or two years later. With a marriage contract in hand, they will be full of confidence when they face the government again.

Look, master, I'm not in a hurry, but how can this marriage event be so hasty? Not to mention that you want ten miles of red makeup, the scenery is magnificent, how do you have to follow the ancient etiquette, three media and six hires, right? And this wedding date is not so easy to set, can't you first match the eight characters, and then find someone to choose the auspicious day of the zodiac?

It is not so much that women get married early in these years, but that they are engaged at an early age, usually at the age of fourteen or fifteen, but the real time of marriage will be delayed by three or two years.

This is not all the families, but the few large families.

Ordinary people's families, basically, as soon as they reach the age, are in a hurry to marry their daughters, mainly because the family does not have much food, cannot afford to support so many people, and cannot afford to pay the fine for late marriage.

Therefore, Lin Beiji obviously doesn't want to marry his daughter now, so he will talk nonsense there.

When an ordinary woman reaches Lin Qiuyun's age, I am afraid that the baby should give birth to a litter, and he is embarrassed to salivate with an old face and say that his daughter is young------

Li Jinglun was very angry, not only angry at Lin Beiji's unkindness, but also made him hate his own son's incompetence.

is a good two-list jinshi, but let him quit and return to his hometown to live a leisurely retirement life, how old is he, so dull? What kind of competitive and enterprising spirit should young people have?

The more Li Jinglun thought about it, the more angry he became, after all, this marriage that was temporarily put on hold was caused by Li Qian's Zhishi in the final analysis, and it is not too much to say that he is the culprit!

The result?

I didn't bother with him about it, but he still didn't care about it, and he didn't even have the interest to come back and discuss it with him. I don't know how he gave birth to such a heartless little bastard on a whim, which made people break their hearts for him.

So, this stubborn old man seemed to be urging his life, sending people into the city every day to urge Li Qian to go back, and even moved a real fire for this.

Li Qian had to suspect that if he didn't "listen to the announcement" today, he was afraid that he would be like Yue Fei back then, and he would be urgently recalled by twelve "gold medals" in a row------

In desperation, Li Qian had no choice but to ask people to prepare the car and hurried back.

After coming back, Li Qian first asked his father to arrest him in the study and severely criticized him, and then Li Jinglun proposed that he personally go to the door of Lin's house and set the marriage date first, and it was best to complete the marriage before the end of the year.

In this regard, Li Qian was very speechless, and said in his heart that his Lin family is now determined to drag it out, even if I really go, it won't work!

Now the crux of the problem is actually not on the Li Lin family, but on whether the Zhao family will continue to suffer or collapse the Li family.

Thinking of this, Li Qian felt a little funny. Unconsciously, his marriage was affected by a fight, which is too absurd, right?

Li Jinglun saw that he was silent and his thoughts did not belong, so he raised his voice in some annoyance: "Did you hear what I said?" Early tomorrow morning, you will bring a generous gift into the city and go to the Lin family! ”

“------”

This stubborn old man always speaks so unrefusably, he is also an adult who has performed the gift of a weak crown, and he is also a Jinshi master who has two high school rankings, shouldn't he ask for his opinion?

"Why, you don't want to go?" Li Jinglun's face sank.

"It's not that the child doesn't want to go, it's just that ------" Li Qian glanced at him and said carelessly: "We can't be so enthusiastic about this matter!" Dad, I'm only 20 years old, and I'm still young! ”

"Young?" As soon as his age was mentioned, Li Jinglun became angry, "How can you still look like a young man?" It's been a dull day, and I haven't seen you do a single thing except sleep or sleep! ”

Li Qian felt a little aggrieved, who didn't do the right thing? Your son, I'm a secret emperor now!

"Dad, I think it's not in a hurry, it's better to wait patiently for a while------ I estimate that it will take as little as one month, or as much as three or two months, and there will be an echo from the Lin family."

"You want to deal with the Zhao family?" Li Jinglun immediately heard his voice, squinted his eyes slightly, and then slowly shook his head and said, "Don't act rashly, the background of the Zhao family is not simple!" I advise you for my father, contradict the son of the Zhao family, let it go if you can. ”

"Daddy really thinks that their Zhao family will let me go?" Li Qian asked rhetorically.

Li Jinglun hesitated slightly, and then slowly shook his head again and said, "I won't ------"

Without waiting for Li Qian to answer, he continued: "But I still say the same thing, as long as you don't provoke them easily, you can avoid them if you can avoid them, with the blessing of this Jinshi's identity, be more cautious on weekdays, and think that no matter how powerful his Zhao family is, he can't do anything to you!" After a pause, he still said uneasily, "So you give me some peace these days, don't run out to make trouble again!" ”

“------”

Li Qian knew the temper of this stubborn old man, but he didn't bother to say more, so he just nodded perfunctorily, but he was very dissatisfied with Li Jinglun's words in his heart.

In just a few months, he and Zhao Peng have had many conflicts, and each time it has become more intense, and the contradictions have become deeper and deeper. According to the other party's temperament, which has always been retributive, the fifty boards he let Xu Jie beat alone are enough to make this second ancestor hate for the rest of his life, how can there be any chance of being safe?

Of course, Li Jinglun saw his perfunctory attitude, and sighed secretly in his heart, along with the idea of letting him visit the Lin family.

After all, the son has grown up, and he has also achieved the fame of Jinshi, and it is not entirely a bad thing to be assertive in case of trouble, if everything is still done according to his father's wishes, then he is destined not to have much success in this life.

In fact, he was in a hurry to let Li Qian come back, not just for that family matter, he thought that what was more important in his heart was actually the death of his wife the day after tomorrow.

In the past, on the tenth day of June every year, Li Jinglun would take the whole family to the grave to worship, and finally he would stay alone, accompanying his deceased wife, who had long been separated from yin and yang, to talk for a long time, narrating how much progress a pair of sons had made in the past year, what a reputation the younger son had been admitted to, how much achievement he had made now, etc., in short, he had nothing to say, as if his wife was still alive and shared the joy in his heart, and he didn't rush back until dark.

Li Qian's memory of this part is actually quite vague, after all, it is something that was forcibly stuffed into his mind, and it did not belong to him in the first place. Therefore, after being reminded by my father, I remembered such a day.

Anyway, the person who occupies this body now is himself, and the family affection faintly flowing in his blood is also inseparable, since this period of time, he has gradually adapted to and integrated into this era, and he has slowly recognized his new identity in his heart, and even when he saw the Li family father and son again, even the initial sense of alienation faded a lot.

As soon as the topic turned to the deceased mother, both father and son suddenly became silent, and the atmosphere became much more solemn for a while.

Compared with Li Jinglun, Li Qian's heart felt even heavier. In a real sense, there is more than one relative who died of his death, his parents who died in a car accident in his previous life, and his mother who loved him very much in this life.

Those scenes locked in the depths of my heart, memories of three people and two worlds all came to mind one by one at this moment. The constant rewinding of memories, like a movie replay, disturbed his heart------

------

------

In the past two days in the village, no one has bothered Li Qian again. Early in the morning of the third day, after the Li family hurriedly ate breakfast, they took a car to the burial area.

After paying homage to his wife, Li Jinglun, who looked stunned, was left alone as in previous years, and waved his hand to let the rest go home first.

When Li Qian and his brother Li Xiao led everyone back, it was already past the afternoon. simply had nothing to do, so he asked Zhang Xiangfei to move the bamboo to lie under the shade of the tree in the yard, but he couldn't sleep for a long time------

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Qian came to his senses, and dared to feel that he was used to sleeping in a rocking chair, and he was guilty of recognizing the bed.

Just as he was pondering whether to find someone to build another rocking chair and put it at home for his own rest, a small servant came to report, and Song Zhong, the old rascal, came to the door again.

Li Qian knew that this person had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and when he came, it meant that his idle days were coming to an end temporarily.

However, what surprised Li Qian was that Song Zhong's first sentence was not a serious matter, but a matter of the Oiran Contest that was being hotly discussed in the market.

The final of the Oiran Contest has ended, but Li Qian was entangled in lawsuits at that time and had no time to pay attention to this lively event, but the result is still known. There were no accidents, with the full support of the Zhao family and Liu Ruyan's normal performance, she easily won the title of this year's Hangzhou Mansion Oiran, and her value skyrocketed------

"Oiran? Comb together? How can it be? Li Qian asked three questions in a row, frowned at him and said: "Chunfeng Yixiaolou and the Zhao family spent so much money to smash out the pillars, and the money has not been earned back, so they have to be listed and combed, and if they give up the identity of this Qing people, the name of this Oiran is worthless!" ”

The so-called listing comb refers to the opening ceremony of the Qingqi people in the Qinglou who have grown up and officially listed to receive customers.

Since it was the first time, the seekers naturally flocked to it. On the night of the day, there is often a round of fierce bidding, and the highest bidder can become the girl's first guest in the scene.

Li Qian had an expression of 'don't treat me as a three-year-old child', and said in a rather dissatisfied tone: "I said that Song Jianxiao, Song Qianhu, Song Spy, have you been so idle recently that you came to disturb my leisure, and told me such a joke?" I'll tell you the truth, don't be angry, it's not funny at all. ”

“------”

Although he didn't understand what 'egg pain' was and what 'spy' was, Song Zhong knew that it was definitely not a good word, so he resisted the urge to drag him off the chair and beat him up, explaining: "It's true, the Oiran Contest hasn't ended yet, Chunfeng Yixiaolou has already released the news, I don't think there will be a fake, what do you think?" ”

Li Qian felt that he had suddenly become 'Yuan Fang', and he didn't want to accept this.

However, after looking at Song Zhong seriously for a long time, and seeing that the other party always had a serious look, he realized something, and hurriedly asked, "You want to say that there must be something strange in this?" ”

"It's a bit strange about this."

Song Zhong nodded and continued: "The Qinglou business has always been a long way to go, a clean man with an innocent body is obviously more favored by customers, and after a long period of operation, the money that can be earned will be a lot more, and once the combing ceremony is held, the girl's value will inevitably drop a lot------ just imagine, what is new about a bitch who is as good as a husband?" ”

"So, you mean, that their behavior is so abnormal that their intentions must not be pure?"

Li Qianxin said that I am still too young, this old rascal came to find himself on purpose, it must be no good thing! But think about it, it's also reasonable, a chief head of Hangzhou Jinyiwei can't make a special trip to come to his door to gossip and talk about the romance in the willow lane of Yanjie, right?

Song Zhong cast an appreciative look at him, and continued to reason: "The listing of the new Oiran can certainly attract many wealthy businessmen and magnates to bid, and the final price is definitely not low, enough for them to make a lot of money, but this is simply a drop in the bucket, as long as Liu Ruyan maintains his current value, he will be able to earn back several times the amount of money in less than half a year------ it is conceivable that their purpose is not only for money, or it can also be said that it is not just for money!" ”

Li Qian had to admit that Song Zhong at this moment was very ------ Di Renjie!
