Chapter 287: I already have a sweetheart
Lin Changqing's classmate is from the south, and there are some forces in the local area, and there are still some transactions in the Cheng Governor's Mansion, and it is because of this that he came here to study, otherwise he would not have known Lin Changqing.
The two have been chatting very well since they were studying, and the relationship has always been good, Lin Changqing is a down-to-earth and hard-working person, and after following the classmate back, the other party's father appreciated him very much.
Their family also had some contact with the government, and Lin Changqing didn't have much heart for trading, so he helped him find an errand in the yamen, and he still had two taels of silver a month.
His knowledge is also very solid, the county lord is a money-lover, and it didn't take long for him to begin to appreciate him, and he often discussed with him on weekdays, sometimes it was learning, sometimes it was the matter of the county government, Lin Changqing said it very well.
came and went, the county magistrate took him seriously, and he cared for him during the New Year's holidays, knowing that his hometown was far away, and he invited him to eat at home on these reunion days during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This time he wanted to come back to participate in the scientific examination, and the county master persuaded him to participate in the name of that side, Lin Changqing still remembered his hometown, if he really got in, it would be a good thing for his hometown, so he still declined.
When he left, the county magistrate also said that if it was really the title of the gold list, he also thought about whether he could go to the south to serve, if the result was still not satisfactory this time, he also hoped that he could go back and always be able to get out of the county government.
The county master was very kind to Lin Changqing, and his classmate's family was also the same to him, so he thought about it in his heart, if he could really find an official and a half-job this time, he really wanted to go back there.
If you can be an official, according to the rules, you can't go back to your hometown to be an official, you must go elsewhere, in this case, it is better to go to the south, and now he likes it there.
The south side is rich in products, earns more than other places, and the scenery is good, so it's good to stay there for a few years and then move to another place.
The situation at home has not been very good, and Lin Changqing has spent a lot of money on studying over the years, although he doesn't say it, he has always remembered it in his heart.
must let himself have a good life, honor his parents well, and be good to his brother and sister-in-law, although he has been paying for his studies in public schools over the years, but if his brother and sister-in-law do not support him, his father and mother will not let him continue to study.
Everyone sat and talked for a while, and then they each found their own work and began to work, and now there are still three families whose houses have not been repaired, and it will be completed in a few days.
This is also just right, in July it is busy with farming again, and the threshing is about to begin, and the house can be lived in after repair, and there have been no big aftershocks recently, and the house should not collapse again.
Everyone is working hard now, and they want to live in their homes as soon as possible, and the changes that have been experienced this year are really too great.
Lin Changqing looked left and right, and also wanted to work, "Sister-in-law, you can help me find a big brother's old clothes, I'll change into them, this dress is not resistant to dirt." ”
Although he has earned some money in the past two years, he has also saved, and he is not willing to spend it, so he has to wear the capital to go to the scientific examination.
Liu said with a smile, "Old Five, you just came back from outside, accompany your father to talk for a while, we can do all this work, it's not bad, you have a good rest." ”
Gu Zerong also said with a smile on the side, "Yes, Lao Wu, you are a scholar, you haven't done heavy work for a long time, and suddenly let you do this, your body hurts, you still sit and talk to your father for a while, you haven't come back after going out for so long, your father and mother miss it very much." ”
Everyone persuaded him so much and didn't let him work, Lin Changqing was moved and guilty in his heart, but it was true, he had been out for so long, and of course he wanted to talk to his father when he came back suddenly, and since this was the case, he would no longer refuse.
The Liu family washed the dishes and came over to sit and talk, Wanyun and Wanrong hadn't seen him for a long time, and they missed him very much, and the sisters were very happy.
Lin Changqing looked at Jingqiu Jingyue and said with a smile, "In a blink of an eye, Jingqiu Jingyue is so old, and she came back in a hurry this time, and she didn't prepare any gifts, so don't be unhappy, eldest sister." ”
Wanyun smiled and said, "What are you talking about?" What is the family doing so politely? You've been out for so long, and we're all looking forward to your return, as long as we see people. ”
Lin Changqing smiled and nodded, and looked at Wanrong again, "My sister has grown so tall, it's time to talk about family affairs this year, right?" ”
Lin Dezheng said, "It's fourteen this year, and we can say it if we want to, but we are not in a hurry to marry the girl in the family, let's be later, our children are all thoughtful and good-looking, and they don't have to worry about family affairs." ”
Lin Changqing said, "That's right, our girl takes it out, which family doesn't rush to marry?" It's time for Wanrong to talk about family affairs, Mengzhu and Siyao are the same, the three of them are a year, and the next thing is Siqi's girl. ”
"By the way, what about Jun Zikang, Zijun is sixteen this year, right? It's also time to say goodbye. ”
As soon as he came back, he worried about the family affairs of these juniors, and Xuan said with a smile on the side, "Fifth brother, what about you, what about them, our family should be most anxious about you now, should you think about it when you come back from the scientific expedition this time?" Otherwise, my father and mother would be in a hurry. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Changqing was also a little embarrassed, and smiled slightly, "Third sister-in-law, I naturally take this matter to heart, just look at how I did in this year's exam, I won't hide it from you, in fact, I also have plans for my family affairs, and I also met a girl in the south in the past two years, and the two of us have been together for so long, and we each have hearts." ”
"This time, if I do well in the exam and can find a half-official position, I will generously go to her house to propose marriage, but if the name falls to Sun Shan, I will be embarrassed to come to the door, she should be worthy of a good man."
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised, but they didn't expect him to really have a favorite girl outside.
Lin Dezheng hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I just want to ask about this when you come back, you are not young, it is time to get married, since you have taken a fancy to others, our family will wait a little longer, I won't show you the family affairs first, someone came to ask, and I gave it back first, do you think this is good?" ”
Lin Changqing hurriedly said, "Thank you for your understanding, when I come back from the exam, I will definitely give you and my mother an answer." ”
There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, people at this time take this point very seriously, not to mention that Lin Changqing is still a scholar.
He is already in his early twenties, even if his family does not urge, he himself is anxious, if the eldest has no children at his age, it is a shame to his father, and his father and mother can't hold their heads up in front of others.
