Zhang Yuan's family has a small population, after Zhang Dachun's family of three moved out, the house became even more deserted, Xiao Xi Nu Wuling brought a lantern back to Zhang Yuan alone, and the little girl rabbit pavilion answered the door.

Zhang Yuan entered the inner courtyard to see his mother, Zhang's mother Lu was depressed because of Zhang Cai's family leaving, and the elderly people always miss the old, although Zhang Dachun, a house slave, couldn't live with the master's family, but Zhang Dachun's father and son's exile and charge the army still made Zhang's mother Lu a little unbearable.

Zhang Yuan knew his mother's intentions and said: "Mother, there is a shortage of people in this house, and it is clear that my son asked someone to find a loyal family to help, make a deed, and give a certain amount of silver every year, so that it is more manageable." ”

Zhang's mother Lu is no longer worried about her son's ability to deal with things, her son has really grown up and is honest and benevolent, and can share his parents' worries, which makes Zhang's mother Lu very pleased, and heard her son say that Hou County Ling promised to win him in the county test next year, and he was even more happy, and said: "Then my son should enter social science as soon as possible, and live up to the expectations of the county." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Yes, my son said that there are still some things, and he will go to social studies the day after tomorrow, and his mother can rest assured that his son will be eager to learn." ”

Yi Ting on the side said: "The little maid has a distant relative, her home is outside the Chang'an Gate of the neighboring county, she is honest and duty-bound, she doesn't want to be a slave, she is willing to work for a long time, if the young master wants to hire someone, the little maid asks someone to send him a message to come here, and the wife and the young master will stay if they like it, and send it back if they don't like it." ”

Zhang's mother Lu said: "Okay, let him come tomorrow, there are few people in this house, it is too deserted." ”

Yi Ting said with a smile: "Mrs., don't worry, when the young master marries a wife and becomes a family, it will be lively." ”

As soon as she said this, Zhang's mother Lu immediately looked her son Zhang Yuan up and down, smiled and wanted to hug her grandson, nodded and said: "Well, Yuan'er will be sixteen after the New Year, you can talk about marriage, hehe, fortunately, I didn't promise the Ma Po last time, what cow girl, Ma girl's will be stuffed here with my son, my son is now cured of eye disease, what kind of good girl can't marry!" ”

Zhang Yuan was worried that his mother was in a hurry to say goodbye to him, so he hurriedly said: "Mother, my son is still young, and he has to focus on his studies. ”

Although Zhang's mother Lu does not read much, she is also a little knowledgeable, and knows how difficult it is to be admitted to the Jinshi, Zhang Yuan's father Zhang Ruiyang has not been admitted to the Xiucai for more than ten years, but Zhang Yuan said that he will only consider marriage after entering high school, if he fails to pass the exam in his life, it will not be bad, and said: "Son, the son of Xizhang has set Shuicheng Liu's daughter as his wife, but he is not married, and he will wait for his mother to look for you slowly, and you don't have to worry." ”

Zhang Yuan couldn't cry or laugh: "My son is not in a hurry, my son just wants to concentrate on studying." ”

Zhang's mother Lu said with a smile: "Mother knows that my son is working hard, so let's talk about family affairs after my son makes up for the students, it's all right." ”

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "The son listens to his mother." But I thought in my heart: "If everything goes well, I will have to be admitted to Xiucai the year after tomorrow, and then I will talk about it, and then I can use the excuse of taking the township examination, and I can delay it for another year, and it will be delayed for a year."

After sitting with his mother for a while, Zhang Yuan returned to the West Building, practiced the big characters for half an hour, then took a bath and slept, and couldn't sleep for a long time after lying down, and heard the little Xi Nu Wuling outside softly screaming: "Young Master-" didn't hear the answer, Wuling blew out the lamp, slept on the small bamboo couch, turned over and over and "crunched" a few times, and soon there was only a slight snoring sound.

The soft light of the last quarter moon crept through the window, the spots of light moved slowly on the ground, and the moonlight and the night formed a deep and vast breath, making the sleepless people awe and think.

Zhang Yuan looked at the top of the bed with wide eyes, through the slight moonlight on the ground, the auspicious pattern of the painted paint on the top of the bed was faintly recognizable, thinking that the old woman Ma wanted to be a matchmaker for him and his mother said that he was talking about marriage, and he was alone funny, he was worried that one day he would suddenly blow and blow and send him a bride to ask him to marry, he had never met, he didn't know the beauty and ugliness, he didn't understand the surname, but he wanted to immediately spend candles in the cave room, it is said that this is a big gamble in life, when the red hijab was opened, the suspense was revealed, some people won, the man was talented and beautiful, and the husband sang with the woman, Some people lose and suffer for the rest of their lives.

This seems to be very dramatic, but Zhang Yuan obviously doesn't want his marriage to be like a gamble, he wants to be his own master, first of all, he doesn't want to marry a woman with small feet as a wife, this is a prerequisite, fortunately, this is in the Ming Dynasty, women's foot binding is about two of the three, if it is one or two hundred years later, it will be difficult to marry a woman who is not bound foot, and the village aunt and maid woman in the mountains and villages do not bind their feet, and it is difficult to find otherwise.

Thinking like this, the Wang girl naturally came to mind, although it is men's clothing, but she is tall and slender, and her appearance seems to be quite beautiful, in the era of no glasses, it is the most painful to not be able to see the beauty if her eyes are not good, Zhang Yuan has already felt this, but he has no heartfelt feeling for this Wang girl, I don't know if it is because he is still young, or because this Wang girl said that she wanted to buy "Golden Plum" and scared him?

……

The next morning, the people of Yiting Ton's footman line sent a letter to the distant relative outside the Chang'an Gate in Huiji County, but more than ten miles away, when the evening, the family of four came, it was a husband and wife with two sons, the husband and wife were both in their thirties, the male was called Shi Shuang, the female was called Cuigu, they were all countrymen, the two sons were thirteen years old, called Dashi, and the younger was nine years old, so they were naturally called Xiaoshi.

Zhang's mother Lu Shi saw that the family looked honest and honest, and the body was strong, and when she asked a few words, her speech was clear, and the two children didn't look very naughty, so she was a little happy in her heart, and asked Zhang Yuan on the side: "Yuan'er, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Yuan asked Shi Shuang and his wife a few words, basically satisfied, and let the family of four go to the tiled house over there to live, which was the house where Zhang Dachun's family lived before, and said that it was calculated according to the short-term work first, and the family of four ate and lived in the Zhang family, and gave ICBC five dollars a month.

Shi Shuang, Cuigu and his wife are very grateful, such an ICBC is considered high, the most important thing is that the main family pays the levy silver, which is really comfortable, do not have to worry about the knocking and urging of the official and the township Jia, and wait for the master's family with peace of mind, and the family background is still innocent, the son grows up to marry a wife and have children, and can participate in the imperial examination, but the son of a house slave cannot participate in the imperial examination.

In this way, Shi Shuang's family of four lived in Zhang's house, although Shi Shuang was not as active as Zhang Dachun, and could not manage the affairs of the grange, but fortunately, he was honest and diligent, Zhang Yuan's family was only one hundred and twenty acres of land in total, Zhang Yuan took the time to manage it, Xie Qi paid the three tenant farmers still paid the land rent according to the contract between Zhang Dachun and them, of course, the landlord could no longer sign Zhang Dachun's name.

Zhang Dachun's one hundred and fifty taels of silver owed to him was recovered by his own officials, Zhang Yuan didn't have to worry about it, he was ready to go to the social studies of the Fuxue Palace.
