"Wei Lang has already arrived in the capital, and he was picked up by the official sedan chair of the Hanlin Academy, and we can rest assured in the future. He also said that after this month, he would be able to receive his monthly payment next month, and he would be able to send it back to his home at that time. Chu Jianniang looked at the letter and said with a smile.

Old man Wei twisted the mustache on his chin, and his eyes were bent like Maitreya Buddha, "Da Lang, this child, has had a strong energy since he was a child. If you want to do something, you must do it, and you must do it better than others. Now, this is also realizing his hopes. ”

These words are so proud and proud, but as he spoke, the crooked smile in the corner of his eyes was retracted, his expression darkened, and he sighed with a long sigh: "In fact, in the past few years, looking at his unsuccessful career, even I have been uncomfortable and angry for a long time, thinking that he must be unwilling and depressed in his heart, but he looks extremely open, like no one." ”

"What a child! I feel that I am the pillar of the family, I think about everything for the sake of the family, put other people's affairs in front, and my own affairs have always been in my heart. Speaking of which, it was me, the father, who treated him badly, and made him suffer so much, and I really couldn't live with him. ”

As he spoke, the old man wiped his eyes with tears in his eyes.

"Daddy......" Chu Jianniang wanted to comfort, the old man waved his hand, and shouted to her in a serious voice: "Jiao Niang, you are now his daughter-in-law, not to mention that I will be a hundred years later, it will be a lot of things in the future, and you will also take care of him." He needs to be carefree in order to have more heart to do what he wants. ”

There are only two people in this world who understand Wei Xuan, one is his father, and the other is Fu Zhuoyi. Chu Jianniang can only dissect such a person from their language little by little.

Chu Jianniang nodded: "My daughter-in-law knows." ”

……

Since Chu Jianniang helped the Shen family, the Chen family of the Shen family has sent things to the Wei family, not to send something to eat, then to send something that can be planted. It is conceivable that in the past, the Chen family and the Wu family of the Li family were unaccustomed to the Liu family as a team, but now these two are as good as their own sisters.

Of course, the Liu family is also greedy for the things sent by the Chen family, eating people with a soft mouth and short hands, with her ability to compliment people, even the enemy can speak like a benefactor.

Shen Yunyan sat on the stone table and bench under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard with the child in her arms, made a pot of tea with Chu Jianniang, and teased the naughty little children while talking; Liu's side squatted on the edge of the courtyard wall with Chen, one holding a shovel in his hand, planting periwinkles that Chen got from nowhere.

"Aunt Liu, let me tell you, I've seen this periwinkle, it blooms every month, and it doesn't let go of every winter, and the flowers are as big as a slap fist, and the colors are like the color of the lotus flower, some are like the color of the osmanthus in July, and there are also big red, there are several kinds of them. The fragrance of the flowers is wanton, although it is not as fragrant as the osmanthus ten miles, but the smell is very pleasant. ”

"Really!" Liu's eyes glowed like seeing Yintian, "Then I have to take care of it." ”

"This thing is not delicate to raise, just fill it with some water every few days."

"Done!" Liu had a smile on his face.

The two talked a lot about homely things, talking and talking, and some things about the little sister.

In two months, the little sister will be in the prime of her life, and she will be one year older. The first person in the village who has not yet talked about marrying when he reaches the marriageable age belongs to this family, and even Li Yaer of the Wu family, the Wu family has begun to plan for her.

Chen also knew what Liu's plan was for her daughter, and the relationship between the two was not good in the past, so he didn't say anything, but now that the diaphragm was broken, it was also out of kindness, so he crooked Liu's ear and asked:

"Your jade girl...... Did you say a good object? ”

Hearing this, the shovel in Liu's hand was stunned, and the smile on his face was put away in the blink of an eye. This is a heart-wrenching question.

Seeing Liu's face change like this, Chen's heart darkened: This should not be asked.

In the end, Liu Shi was still in the way of face, he didn't break his face, but just sighed: "Wow! It's all this kid who is too picky, saying that she doesn't want this, saying that she doesn't want to, and I don't know what to do with her! "I'm embarrassed to say I can't find a partner.

Chen Shi looked at his face and responded: "This is not good!" Don't do this, don't do that, if you drag it out any longer, won't you drag your age out? ”

"Not really!" Liu felt extremely uncomfortable, and couldn't help but slander: It's not necessarily good to marry early, look at her girl, isn't she also a lawsuit and divorced!

Chen wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw that Liu moved to another corner to plant flowers, he obviously didn't want to continue the discussion.

In this way, Chen did not have much to say.

However, if you don't say it here, Shen Yunyan's side continued to say it, and the mother and daughter have a good heart.

Chu Jiaoniang heard Shen Yunyan ask her little sister when she planned to get married, and she was about to answer, and when she raised her eyes, she saw her little sister coming out of the hall to pour water, and after her eyes signaled, she took a sip of the cup first, and waited for the little sister to return to the house before saying:

"My sister-in-law's business, it's all my mother-in-law's business, I can't say."

"You're a sister-in-law, why can't you say it? The age has come up, and I haven't gone out yet, but I want to stay and be an old girl? Shen Yunyan leaned forward, and the voice was extremely low.

Chu Jianniang smiled faintly: "It's okay, stay one more day, then you will enjoy one more day of happiness at home." ”

Shen Yunyan glanced sideways, "I haven't seen anyone who is a sister-in-law like you to accommodate your little sister!" ”

Chu Jianniang smiled as usual and said nothing.

If you want to talk about the little sister, Chu Jiaoniang is really a little sad in her heart. Mrs. Wang privately approached her a few days ago, saying that there was a feasible family, but after these few days, there was no news. This can't help but make her wonder, is it that the temper and temperament of this little sister in the family have spread a little far, but anyone who has heard about it is afraid that they will all retreat, right?

Early the next morning, Chu Jianniang avoided the sight of the people in the house and secretly went to find Mrs. Wang. Coincidentally, Mrs. Wang was also planning to look for her. The two of them rested and talked in a cool and comfortable place under the fragrant laurel tree on the edge of the tributary of Qingshuigou.

Chu Jianniang got straight to the point and asked directly, is there a suitable person?

Not to mention, Mrs. Wang really found a more suitable family, which is the Zhao family who has a dozen iron on the street in the county.

The Zhao family has only one son, named Zhao Quan, who is twenty years old. The appearance is according to what Chu Jiaoniang is looking for, and she is handsome, with the appearance of Pan An and Song Yu; Especially those eyes, cut deep pupils, as if hiding a story; The figure is much stronger and burlier than ordinary people, which provokes many ladies to secretly covet it in private.

Zhao Quan's father left early, since he was a child, he depended on his mother for his life, and then learned a craft from the master of iron, and he made a living by iron, and his character was even seen by outsiders, filial piety, sensible, and warm-hearted, and won praise from many people. His mother is also an honest person, although she doesn't talk much, but she is generous to her neighbors.

In addition, there are three acres of land in the family, an ancestral house, the ancestral house is in the workshop in the east of the county, and the other three acres of land are in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the east of the city, which is rented to a family in a nearby village to plant, and at the end of each year, some rent is collected. The family background is not high, and it is more than enough to be less than the bottom, which is better than the farmer's farming.

Mrs. Wang talked to Zhao Quanhao for a while like selling goods, and then pulled Chu Jianniang well: "Now there are many sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law who are rushing to be a matchmaker with him, but fortunately, I am one step ahead, and his mother responds to my side first." What do you see? Do you want to meet it? ”

Chu Jianniang thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "Seeing is a natural thing to see, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today, so I'll do it early tomorrow morning." If you can see it, I will whisper it in my little sister's ear and let them see each other. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here tomorrow morning, and then we'll go together."

On the second day, Chu Jianniang took advantage of the morning and told her family that she was going to buy some things in the county market, so she went with Mrs. Wang to meet the son of the Zhao family.

The morning market in the county is lively, and the most is the noodle stall and bun stall, but whenever it is, people come in an endless stream. Passing through this snack street, Mrs. Wang led Chu Jianniang straight to the middle street. When she was about to reach a corner of Zhao's iron shop, Chu Jianniang held Wang Pozi and paused.

"Auntie, I'll take a look from afar, you can go first."

Mrs. Wang has been doing this for a long time, and there are people who look at her openly and secretly, so she nodded very clearly: "Okay, you look here, I'll go and say a few words." ”

"I'm sorry for you."
