Quote: Anecdotes, thin feet and jokes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The young Liu Chunlin returned to his real name, and Deng Hua's identity was the son of a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan. He took Dunn and Xiaowen from Tongzhou to Jiangnan by boat, and disembarked halfway back to his hometown. When he got home, he realized that his home had changed a lot.

His hometown is called Liu Gezhuang. Since Liu Quan is the housekeeper of He Xiangye, their family surnamed Liu is a wealthy branch. Today, his family's old house is still there, but his father and two elder brothers have gone to other villages to buy houses and land and build new houses.

The land in that village was basically bought by his family, so it was renamed Xiaoliuzhuang. The 10,000 taels of silver that Liu Quan brought was indeed a huge amount of money, and in the blink of an eye, his family was also rich.

Liu Chunlin naturally had some affection when he saw his father and brother, and he told him a thing or two about what he had seen and heard in the capital, which made his father and brother stunned. However, the three of them were born in agriculture and didn't want to go to the city to have fun and learn more. According to the words of his father Liu Heisan, we are farmers, although we are different now, we just need to take care of the family business. Moreover, the people in the city are complicated, and I have heard that there are many scammers who steal, and it is easy to be deceived when you first enter the capital.

Liu Chunlin thought of Jiang Ergou and thought it was true. He asked Dunn to be the housekeeper in this house, Dunn was just an ordinary old servant in the Hefu, but with his past experience, he was still familiar with managing a village in the simple countryside.

He led Xiaowen to live in a small courtyard in the house. After entering the city this time, he deeply felt that he was not knowledgeable, so he specially invited an old Confucian student from the county as a teacher to explain the way of poetry and books every day to increase his academic qualifications.

A month later, Liu Chunlin's father called him to discuss his marriage. His father has seen Xiaowen, and Xiaowen's appearance is okay, but Yahuan's identity will not be reasonable in the future. His two elder brothers have already married a family, and now that the children are about to become a group, he is left with no wife yet.

Liu Chunlin thought about it and said that he had his own opinions. It turned out that his teacher said that there was a large family in the neighboring county, and she could study and embroider since she was a child, so she didn't want to marry out of thin air. Since she was the only daughter in the family, she took it upon herself to hang a self-portrait in front of her house in the fifteenth month of each month. Said to others: If someone can paint on the spot, and add poems and texts, and send them to her satisfaction, she will be recruited as a son-in-law. Speaking of the surrounding counties, it is a few elegant things, but from now on, there is no one who can enter the eyes of the young lady.

The teacher said: Liu Chunlin looks like a white character, and the six arts handed down by the sage are instantaneous, and poetry and painting have also been introduced, so you can give it a try.

Liu Heisan also laughed when he heard it, this scholar has a lot of work, and he doesn't care about it.

Liu Chunlin packed up his bags, asked Xiaowen to pretend to be a scholar, and rushed to a neighboring county.

One day later, it will be the morning of the middle of the month, and the people at the door of the house will be lively.

There is a maid ring guarding a vertical screen at the door, and four family members are guarding it in front. The portrait on the screen is elegant, and the characters are flowers and moons. There is a small poem next to it, which says:

The peach blossom curtain is still open, and the people in the curtain are thinner than the peach blossoms. Flowers are also worried, and the news of the curtain blows through.

Next to the door against the wall was a long table, on which the pen and ink were prepared.

It would be a mistake to say that there are no scholars among the people around the country. Look at the men who were crowned and wore scarves, and there were quite a few scribes. However, they are still not allowed to be selected. It sounded like there were defective appearances and inconsistencies, and the old man muttered: "Looking at the poems, Miss Yuan is a amorous character." Why don't you understand the truth in my chest? "This is a self-proclaimed talented, indignant person. Of course, there are also those who are sent out soon after entering, and all these things are dazzling.

Liu Chunlin looked at it and nodded, this Yuan family is really well prepared, and even the hexagram and eight characters in the courtyard are ready. However, the only daughter is a big girl, and she is related to the whole family, and she is considerate and good.

He went to the table next to him, picked up his pen and ink, and drew his portrait with a small poem. The poem says:

Why is the garden dew garden frost lonely, and the Honggui disease can be lovesick? If there is no talk in the world, why not talk about it?

I laughed in my heart: You don't know that there is a small joint here, so you can take advantage of it.

Roll up the painting, connect the sealed eight characters and let the family send it in.
