Here, Mrs. Zhu just left, and Uncle He closed the door.

Over there, Chu Mufeng, who was being pulled by Chu Tiankuo, broke free from the clamps and hurriedly rushed out of the small study.

"Why is Wei Xiucai's weak scholar family coming to someone to say goodbye? You see that he hasn't taken the exam for so long, I really don't know how long it will take? ”

Chu Tiankuo followed and came out from behind, and when he saw Chu Mufeng say this, he shook his head disapprovingly.

"Sister Jiang, you have to think about it. Wei Xiucai is powerless, not to mention, his family's livelihood is also a problem. For so many years, he has relied on the savings of his ancestors, and only after winning Xiucai did he receive that little silver grain in the yamen. If you really marry him, you will be tired in the future. Chu Mufeng still said unsatisfied.

After being beaten by Chu Tiankuo, Chu Mufeng still whispered, "It's better to marry him than to marry me." ”

After Chu Mufeng finished saying this, he attracted the unanimous stare of Jiang Zhixia and Chu Tiankuo.

Chu Mufeng didn't care about their stare.

Jiang Zhixia stroked his forehead helplessly, and didn't take the latter sentence to heart at all, "Brother Chu is too worried." I didn't say I was going to say yes to this business. ”

"You didn't agree to the family affair, why didn't you directly refuse?" Chu Mufeng muttered.

"It's all neighbors, so I can't refuse directly. If you directly refuse today, what can you do as a neighbor in the future? Jiang Zhixia was also quite annoyed.

So, Zhixia frowned and saluted: "Young Master Chu, Brother Chu, I'm sorry, I can't keep you for dinner today." I'll ask you another day. I'm really sorry. ”

Chu Tiankuo also knew that Zhixia was very troubled now, so he nodded and didn't say anything.

Only Chu Mufeng was still muttering there.

Chu Tiankuo frowned, pulled Chu Mufeng, who still wanted to say something, and directly said goodbye and returned to Chu Mufeng's home.

Uncle He, Aunt Zhang and Xiaoman naturally didn't deliberately listen to what the master and the official media said, but the courtyard itself was not big, plus Zhixia did not let them retreat and avoid it, and Chu Mufeng's voice was not small later, so they heard that the Wei family asked the official media to come to the door to say goodbye.

They were very surprised when they heard that Aunt Li actually invited the official media to kiss, they didn't know about the neighbors, it had been almost four months, why did they suddenly remember to invite someone to ask for a kiss now?

And the Wei family next door, Wei Zhuxian also asked his mother Aunt Li with the same question.

Aunt Li sighed leisurely, frowned and looked at her son, quite embarrassed, I don't know if I want to tell the truth.

When Wei Zhuxian saw Aunt Li's appearance, he estimated that it was related to his scientific research.

Fortunately, after drinking and persuading at Chu Mufeng's house, he wanted to open it, and he would go to participate in the Autumn Festival after three years.

There are also those who have been tested for a lifetime, and only when they are fifty or sixty years old are they admitted to the lifting of people. I'm still young.

"If my mother has anything to say, she might as well tell her son directly. Is there anything else hidden between our mother and son? Wei Zhuxian persuaded.

Aunt Li saw that her son had really seen a lot recently, and he was willing to go out to meet friends, and after listening to what he said, she simply said openly: "Son, since this is the case, I will tell the truth for my mother." ”

"Mother regrets it, I regret that I decided to marry you early." Aunt Li suddenly cried, and when Wei Zhuxian saw this scene, he quickly took a handkerchief to wipe her tears and comfort her.

"At the beginning, when you were nineteen years old, you were admitted to Xiucai, who wouldn't praise you for being young and promising, and your future is immeasurable? Originally, the two families have been thinking that you will get married as soon as you win the show. How did you think that your fiancée was sick? Aunt Li chattered about the past.

The more I recalled, the more I wanted to cry, "You said that scholars should talk about benevolence and righteousness, so your fiancée's family wants to withdraw from your family, but you don't agree, okay, my mother depends on you about this matter, and I didn't say anything." Your fiancée lingered on the sick bed for more than two years, and as a result, it came and went, but it dragged you down to the age of twenty-one. You said that scholars attach importance to reputation, and they want to keep filial piety for your fiancée for a year, and they just happened to concentrate on studying to participate in the autumn festival, and your mother also relied on you. Later, when you participated in the last autumn festival, you got sick from the cold, and you were carried out halfway and didn't finish the exam. You breathe a sigh of relief in your heart, and you will definitely participate in this year's autumn festival and talk about other things. My mother also relied on you again, so I didn't tell you about my family according to your wishes. However, you didn't pass the exam this year... ”

The more Aunt Li spoke, the more sad she became, "You will be twenty-five this year, if you drag it out any longer... ”

"Mother, don't cry," Wei Zhuxian comforted, thinking that the last time he participated in the Autumn Festival, he always felt that he would definitely be able to win with his talents, but because he was delayed by illness, he really kept a breath in his heart.

"Didn't I say yes? Didn't my mother always ask Aunt Zhu to find relatives for me? It's just that Miss Jiang has moved here for so long, why did her mother suddenly think of going to her to propose marriage? Wei Zhuxian quickly changed the topic and asked.

"Well, I didn't think about her at first, after all, she's quite old." Aunt Li said with a frown.

Although Miss Jiang is good at everything, she is really not young, she is twenty-two this year, and she will be twenty-three in the next year.

"However, I asked your Aunt Zhu to inquire about a few families, either this aspect is inappropriate, or that aspect is not suitable. You're not too young after all. If you pass the examination this year, no matter whether you can be admitted to the Jinshi in the spring of next year, you will have the qualifications to elect officials. In that case, you can still find a good relative, and maybe you can marry an official lady. However, you didn't pass the test," Aunt Li said while looking at Wei Zhuxian's face.

Seeing that Wei Zhuxian's reaction was good, he continued, "It's still your Aunt Zhu who talked about Miss Jiang when she came to chat with her mother last time." said that she was beautiful, tall, and friendly. There is also this house in the dowry. When the time comes, if you become a parent, you can open the house directly. It can be regarded as the recovery of the ancestral home. I heard that she also has a small village with more than a dozen acres of land, although the harvest is not much, but the general eating, drinking and chewing are enough. It's just that I'm a little older. ”

Aunt Li said regretfully.

"This neighbor's neighbor, if it doesn't work out, it will be embarrassing to meet in the future." Wei Zhuxian remembered Jiang Zhixia's beautiful face, and unconsciously smiled shyly.

has been a neighbor for so long, in fact, he has a good impression of the easy-going and friendly girl next door.

However, he frowned again when he remembered the consequences of being rejected.

"How could this not be? My son was so talented when he was young. In the future, if you participate in the imperial examination, you will be promoted to a person and a jinshi, and that will not be a problem. At that time, she will be the official's wife. How could she be so stupid as to refuse? She is so old, if she doesn't marry you and marry someone else, what good family can she have?" Aunt Li's blind confidence in her son.

Seeing that her son's face was full of embarrassment, Aunt Li then smiled and said, "Besides, Zhizi Mo Ruomu, I also know that you are also very satisfied with Miss Jiang, right?" ”

After listening to his mother's ridicule, Wei Zhuxian's face couldn't help but turn into a red cloth. said goodbye in a hurry, said that he went to the study to read a book and left.
