Chapter 82
Chu Liang was not very restless when she fell asleep, she liked to move, Xie Shaoqing couldn't do anything about her, and it took a lot of effort to take off her coat. Xie Shaoqing was sleepy, he looked at the moonlight outside the window and couldn't help but fall into reverie.
The darker moonlight is half a family, and the Beidou is dry and the Nandou is oblique. The sound of insects outside was endless, and Chu Liang was sleeping soundly.
Jiang Yingyue has been in Dongzhuang for a while, she is alone, since the last time Wang Ma asked her family history, almost everyone in Dongzhuang knows Jiang Yingyue's life experience. They were skeptical, some people said that Jiang Yingyue's father didn't arrange family affairs for her in front of her, Jiang Yingyue didn't look small, they discussed it in private, and they always felt that Jiang Yingyue's words were not true.
The villagers' discussions occasionally reached Jiang Yingyue's ears, and Jiang Yingyue didn't care when she heard it.
There is a scholar in Dongzhuang, surnamed Zhou, named Zhou Hengyuan. Zhou Hengyuan's father died at an early age, and his mother raised him. Orphans and widows have a hard time.
Zhou Hengyuan's mother, Wang, lives by doing needlework for others, and there are still a few acres of land in the family that are rented to outsiders to plant.
When Zhou Hengyuan's father died, Wang was only twenty-six years old, but Wang did not remarry and has been guarding this son to live.
Wang's province is frugal for Zhou Hengyuan to study, Zhou Hengyuan is still competitive, and he has taken the test. He originally planned to continue to take the exam, but Wang was seriously ill in the year he took the exam. Zhou Hengyuan served his mother at home, so he was delayed. Now Zhou Hengyuan is seventeen years old, and he has reached the age of marrying a wife and having children.
Wang found a few girls for Zhou Hengyuan, Zhou Hengyuan claimed to be a scholar, and wanted to find a beautiful woman, so he was worthy of his "talent", and he was not satisfied with the girl his mother found for him. Either the suspect girl is illiterate, or the suspect girl looks vulgar. Therefore he did not marry until he was seventeen years old.
Zhou Hengyuan's handwriting is good-looking, and he can also draw, often set up a stall in poetry collections, write letters for illiterate women, and occasionally draw braille paintings to sell.
Jiang Yingyue didn't often come out and walk around when she was in Dongzhuang, and Zhou Hengyuan hadn't seen her much, although he heard that there was a beauty in Dongzhuang, he didn't pay attention to it.
When Jiang Yingyue went to the market to buy something, she happened to see Zhou Hengyuan selling calligraphy and paintings, although Zhou Hengyuan was a scholar, he didn't feel ashamed of selling calligraphy and paintings on the street.
Jiang Yingyue took a few glances and left, she felt that Zhou Hengyuan's painting was not very good. Zhou Hengyuan was stunned when he saw Jiang Yingyue, he had never seen such a good-looking girl.
Zhou Hengyuan was stunned for a while, knowing that an aunt asked him: "How can this painting be sold?" Zhou Hengyuan came back to his senses.
The aunt paid the money and left, and Zhou Hengyuan asked an aunt who was selling cabbage next to her: "Which girl is wearing white clothes just now, I haven't seen it." ”
The aunt said: "Her name is Jiang Yingyue, and she has been moving to Dongzhuang for a while. ”
Zhou Hengyuan has always been thinking about Jiang Yingyue, and he has no intention of doing business.
After the market dispersed, Zhou Hengyuan hurried home, and as soon as he got home, he shouted: "Mother, is there a girl named Jiang Yingyue in our village." ”
Wang asked, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
Zhou Hengyuan suddenly became embarrassed, and Wang asked again: "How much money did you make today?" ”
Zhou Heng didn't answer, but pulled his mother to sit down and said, "I saw Mrs. Jiang in the market today, what a beauty, mother, you can help me be a matchmaker." ”
The Wang family had no impression of Jiang Yingyue, but Zhou Hengyuan suddenly said that he wanted to marry a wife, and she was very good in her heart. The good thing is that her son finally has a girl to look at, but the best thing is that she doesn't know the details of Jiang Yingyue yet.
The Wang family has also heard that Jiang Yingyue's origin is unknown, and she always has a cold face, so she doesn't look so easy to get close to.
Wang said: "Marrying a wife is a big deal, Miss Jiang is alone in Dongzhuang, we don't know her mind yet, it's not good to take the liberty of proposing relatives and offending others, let's ask a matchmaker first." ”
Zhou Hengyuan thought about it, and suddenly came to the door to propose marriage, which was a bit abrupt.
