In the ninth year of Wanli, Li Bokang is sixteen this year and she is eighteen, and Li Bokang's filial piety period has also passed, and he can participate in the scientific examination, and the private school is also disbanded because Mr. Wu is going to catch the exam.

In this era, they can also talk about marriage at their age, but because she still has some modern thoughts in her heart, she doesn't want to say kiss too early, and Li Bokang himself hasn't thought about it, so she has been stranded and no one talks about it. But something happened soon that upset their minds, but now they don't know it.

Now they are still discussing whether to change the school, although Mr. Wu also said before that Li Bokang can go to take the exam, but because the college exam is two exams in three years, they missed last year's exam, so they have to wait until next year to take the exam. Later, Li Bokang himself said that it would be good to study at home, anyway, he had already learned everything he should have learned before, and now he just needs to memorize them basically, and he doesn't need to go to school anymore. You can also wait for Mr. Wu to come back to see if he still wants to open a private school, and then decide what to do, she thought about it and agreed.

At the end of August, Mr. Wu came back from Fucheng, and at the same time brought back the news of the promotion in the examination, and the ranking was relatively high at 27th. Knowing that Mr. Wu was admitted to the examination, both of them felt that Mr. Wu should not open a private school again.

On the second day of September, Yang Xue and Li Bokang went to Mr. Wu's house to congratulate and help, and today is the day when Mr. Wu's family holds a banquet. They also bought some ordinary things and a chicken, because Li Bokang was a student that Mr. Wu liked and favored so he also helped greet some guests, and she herself went to the kitchen to help.

In the evening, after helping the husband to send off some guests, they also took their leave and went home. On the way home, Li Bokang was very silent, and he rarely answered when she talked to him, which made her feel a little surprised, and she was going to ask him, but then she thought that maybe she was tired today, so she didn't ask, and thought about asking again tomorrow. So the two returned home in silence, and after washing, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Li Bokang, who had just returned to the room, was lying on the bed thinking about what his husband told him before he left today, when Mr. Wu asked him: "Bokang, I remember that your sister Miss Yang doesn't seem to be your own sister, right?" He didn't know what Mr. meant at the time and said, "Yes, what's wrong with Mr. is there anything wrong?" Li Bokang asked with doubts. After hearing this, although Mr. Wu's face did not change, he was really happy in his heart, and he was more sure of the thoughts in his heart, so he said: "Ah, that's the case, I have been familiar with your sister in the past few years, and I think your sister is very good." Although Mr. Wu had that meaning, he was still very subtle, maybe he didn't understand, or maybe he didn't think about it subconsciously, so he echoed in an approving tone: "Yes, sir, you think too, I have always thought my sister is very good." ”

Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Mr. Wu was silent for a moment and then said, "Bokang, I'll tell you directly, I have a good impression of Miss Yang, and I want to marry her." He was stunned when he heard this, he never thought that Mr. Wu would have such thoughts about Sister Xue, and he had never seen Mr. have such intentions, and Mr. has not had a lot of contact with his sister, how could it be like this. He thought about it repeatedly in his heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think that anything special happened between them. In the past, Sister Xue came to the private school to look for him, and even the bundle was handed over to Mr.

Of course, this is not to say that Sister Xue is bad, but the reality is like this: Mr. is a famous person, and now he has been admitted to the lifting of people, and Sister Xue is just an ordinary girl, no background, no money, and she is not a big beauty. Such a situation is impossible no matter how you look at it, at least not for now, and it is impossible to say for sure what will happen in the future. But it is true that he has heard it with his own ears now, and it has come out of the mouth of the gentleman, and he still has a certain understanding of the person, and he will not joke with this, but because of this, he is even more surprised and puzzled.

After a long time, he still couldn't accept it, but now he preferred it to be a joke, perhaps really unwilling to believe it, and asked again: "Sir, I didn't hear what you just said, can you say it again?" Seeing his incredulous expression and tone, Wu Ruixuan was a little embarrassed, but still said: "I said that I have a good impression of Miss Yang, and I want to marry her." There was some embarrassment in his tone. When Mr. finished speaking again, he could only believe it, but he still didn't understand and asked, "Why does Mr. have such thoughts?" Later, Mr. told him some reasons: "Actually, I didn't have this idea before, but since I was admitted to the Juren, many people have started to say goodbye to me; You also know that I didn't have these thoughts before because of my filial piety and preparation for the exam, but when they told me to kiss, the first person in my mind turned out to be your sister, and I was also very surprised at the time, plus I also felt that I needed a hostess at home for today's banquet, and Miss Yang also helped This idea is even stronger. That's why I came to you, in the past few years, I can also see that you are very important to your Miss Yang, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are your own brother, so you can help Mr. ask you how Miss Yang is? Wu Ruixuan said with some apprehension.

After listening to it, he also felt that the reason was sufficient, but he was still not interested, and he also felt a little irritated in his heart, but he did not show it and asked: "But sir, I vaguely heard my sister say before that she does not want to marry now; And it's not that I don't believe sir, it's just that the reality is so, sir, you are now a lifter, and Mr. is still very young, and he will definitely be an official in the future; And even if you don't talk about it now, now Mr. should be the first choice for many people's sons-in-law, and those who are officials and rich should have them, sir, why did you choose my sister? To put it mildly, my sister is just an ordinary village girl, with no family background, no money, not a beautiful face, and she doesn't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I'm afraid ............" He controlled his voice and tried to say.

"It's ............ Actually, I can't say clearly, but I think Miss Yang is very good and I am the first to think of her in the matter of marrying, as for what you said later, you don't have to worry, I will be good to her; And isn't there still you, I believe in my vision, as long as you have good talent in the future, you will definitely wear official clothes, so you are not your sister's dependence. Wu Ruixuan explained hard.

It is undeniable that he loves to listen to the last sentence of the husband, and she has been working in that direction. However, he was still unhappy in his heart, and in the end he could only say: "Sir, you allow me to think about this matter again, and the student will leave first." After speaking, he bowed to Mr. Wu and slowly stepped back, and then a voice came: "Okay." The next thing was for the two of them to go home, and on the way home, he also knew that not answering would arouse his sister's suspicions, but his heart was really confused, and fortunately, his sister didn't ask him later.
