On August 24, Yun Xue led Rulan and the others to the Zhong family's house, busy cleaning the house for the last time. Then the curtains and curtains everywhere were replaced with new ones.

Faintly, I heard the sound of a gong, and later, the sound of firecrackers came from the north end of the village. Yun Xue was a little puzzled in her heart, whose house is this? What are you doing?

Before Yunxue could ask, Chang Liang ran in from outside, "Girl, it was so lively outside just now, I heard that it was the Jiang family in the north of the village, and someone came back after taking the exam." Just now, the people in the yamen came to report the good news, and then the Jiang Juren arrived home, and the old man of the Jiang family sent a message, saying that he wanted to celebrate for a while. ”

Jiang Chengtao? Did he pass the exam? That's good news. In the past few years, Jiang Chengtao has been studying in the county and rarely goes home, and Yun Xue almost forgot about this person. In my memory, it was a very good-looking boy, but because of his mother, his personality was a little extreme. However, he is really good at studying, he is only seventeen years old this year, and he actually passed the examination.

"Rulan, you guys get it here first, I'll go home. There was a man in the village, which had not happened for many years, so I went back and prepared some gifts to send over. Yun Xue stopped what she was doing and hurried home.

The atmosphere of reading in the north is not strong, for example, in their village, they have not heard of anyone lifting people for decades. At most, he is just a showman, and there are few children like Yun Feng and Han Yi. On the one hand, people don't pay much attention to it, and on the other hand, people live a difficult life, and few people can afford to send their children to school.

Now that Jiang Chengtao has won the promotion, this can be regarded as a grand event in the village, maybe at this time, how happy will Village Chief Zhao be. Yun Xue thought that Yun Ting had gone to ask Jiang Chengtao for homework before, so she thought about preparing something better. When I went home and came to the inner room of the east house, Yun Xue opened the cabinet and rummaged through it.

Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, given to readers is nothing more than these things. In the past, Yun Lin sent these to his home, but Yun Xue saw that those things were extraordinary, and he didn't dare to let Yun Ting use them all, so he left a lot of them and put them away. I found it at this time, and it was a good gift to use.

Yun Xue packed the things, wrote another post, and then had people call Yun Zhen and Tianfu. These two are working in their own fields, and now there is nothing to do in the barracks, and this time they came mainly for Shen Zhong to get married, so Yun Zhen and Tianfu are idle. These two people are not idle, and they run to work in the fields when they have nothing to do.

When Yun Zhen and Tianfu came back, Yun Xue handed over the things to them, "Jiang Chengtao passed the exam, and the two of you brought things over to congratulate you." Talk to others more, Jiang Chengtao used to help Yunting a lot. Yun Xue instructed.

Yun Zhen and Tianfu took their things and left, and Yun Xue came out of the house and returned to the Zhong family.

Shen Zhong and Yushu's family affairs are right in front of them, and there are many things in the autumn, Yun Xue is really busy. In the past few days, I was supposed to harvest some more wild fruits, but in order to be busy with Shen Zhong's family affairs, they were also delayed.

The Zhong family has cleaned up everything inside and out, and it is almost dusk, Yun Xue nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, that's it, now we are waiting for the happy event the day after tomorrow." "Shen Zhong has no relatives, and all the matters of marriage are all handled by Yun Xue and Shen Hongjun.

Everyone locked the door and returned to Han's house together. Before he could sit down and rest for a while, Yun Zhen, Tianfu, and a young man walked in together.

The man who came in with Yun Zhen and them looked quite young, tall, and his appearance was also very outstanding, with a thick bookish atmosphere on his body, and he looked very gentle and calm.

Yun Xue didn't recognize who the person was at first glance, but felt that this person was very familiar. "Yunzhen, what is this?"

When the visitor saw Yun Xue, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Sister Yun Xue, it's me, Jiang Chengtao." ”

Jiang Chengtao? Yun Xue was surprised, she said that it was the eighteenth change of the female university, but she didn't expect the man to change so much. If you look closely, you still have the same appearance as before, but the little boy in the past has now grown into a handsome and handsome guy. "Ah, I really don't recognize it, come in, come in and sit." Yun Xue smiled and hurriedly asked them all to enter the house.

"Eldest sister, Brother Cheng Tao said that there is something to find you." Tianfu said with a little hesitation.

Yun Xue was slightly stunned, today is a good day for Jiang Chengtao, and he should have been entertaining guests at home at this time. But he followed Yun Zhen and Tianfu over, and said that he had something to find him, what was this for? "Cheng Tao, do you have something to do with me?"

Jiang Chengtao's white jade-like face was slightly red, and he nodded, "Sister Yunxue, I really have something to look for you." ”

Yun Xue pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's go, follow me to the study, let's talk over there." Rulan, send two cups of tea. With that, Yun Xue walked in front and came all the way to the study.

After entering the house, Yun Xue and Jiang Chengtao sat down separately. Rulan sent tea, put it in front of the two, and then went out again.

"What's the matter with me? You can say it now. Yun Xue said with a smile.

"Sister Yun Xue, just now I asked Yun Zhen and Tianfu to come, and they said, you are about to get married, right?" Jiang Chengtao hesitated slightly, then took a deep breath and asked.

"Well, it should be soon, just waiting for Shen Zhong and Yushu's cousin's family affairs to be done, and then we will go to the capital together. When you arrive in the capital, you should be married soon. Yun Xue didn't understand why Jiang Chengtao asked this, but there was nothing to hide about these things, so she said calmly.

"Sister Yunxue, is that person good to you? I heard that he is the son of a prince of the country, and he is also a general who leads the army in battle. Such a person, such a family background, and their family, can they really agree to let you enter the door? Jiang Chengtao looked at Yun Xue and said the question in his heart.

"Even if you really get married, will everything really be okay in such a big family? The high-ranking family is bound by all kinds of rules. Sister Yunxue, with such a free and easy temperament, are you really willing to fall into that kind of cage-like life? How nice it is to be in the village, you can do what you like, freely and without any constraints. ”

"Sister Yunxue, if you want, I can give you another choice. We're in this village, or in the town, and I'll teach, and you can do whatever you want. Isn't this better than marrying in the capital? Jiang Chengtao was a little excited, and said what was in his heart in one go.

Since Yun Xue helped him beat away the group of children who bullied him in the village that year, Jiang Chengtao has been paying attention to Yun Xue. Especially because of Sun Zhengsong's incident that year, Yun Xue was abused by the Sun family and the Zhang family, and Jiang Chengtao remembered Yun Xue very much at that time. He has been studying in the county for the past two years, and there are not many opportunities to come back, and it is difficult to see Yun Xue, but Yun Xue's appearance has always been in his mind.

The Jiang family is relatively wealthy in the village, but in the county seat, it is simply not counted. Jiang Chengtao is in the county seat, and sometimes he is bullied and laughed at by the children of those rich and noble families. But every time he encounters such a situation, Jiang Chengtao thinks of his mother who always cries secretly at home, and Yunxue who gritted her teeth and faced everything strongly. Yun Xue is a girl, she can survive so many difficulties, it makes no sense that he is a big man who retreats when he encounters some difficulties.

This belief has always been in his heart, and he has always adhered to it. Gradually, Yun Xue took root in his heart and could no longer erase it. Jiang Chengtao has always had a thought in his heart, that is, he must get ahead, and no one will laugh at his mother in the future. At the same time, he can also protect Yun Xue from being bullied again.

With such thoughts, Jiang Chengtao studied very hard in the county, and he didn't go home during Mu Xiu's time, and he studied in the school. It just so happened that this year, the emperor added Enke, and Jiang Chengtao participated in the township test, won the championship in one fell swoop, and pointed out the yuan.

He had just arrived home today, and the people in the village had gone to congratulate him, and it happened that Yun Zhen and Tianfu had passed. Jiang Chengtao saw Yun Zhen, so he inquired about Yun Xue. Later, when he heard the news that Yun Xue was about to get married, he was simply stupid. In the end, he couldn't help it, and came over with Yun Zhen and Tianfu, wanting to talk to Yun Xue.

Yun Xue was obviously stunned by the words of the person in front of her, she never imagined that the big boy in front of her would have thoughts about herself. "Cheng Tao, did you make a mistake?" Yun Xue felt a little incomprehensible.

Jiang Chengtao shook his head, "Sister Yunxue, I'm not mistaken, I have been studying hard in the county town for the past two years, and I only have one thought in my heart. It's that I want to get ahead, as long as I have a chance, no one will laugh at my mother in the future. Moreover, I also have the ability to protect you, and in the future, I will not let anyone bully you again. He said very solemnly.

Yun Xue shook her head, "You, I'm afraid you're confusing things." When you were a child, you saw your mother being humiliated by others, and you thought in your heart that you would grow up and become stronger, and you could protect your mother. Such a thought makes you feel sympathy for those women who are bullied. Later, when you met me being humiliated and bullied by others, the idea of sympathy and protection in my heart became even stronger. Cheng Tao, you are not love for me, it is just a kind of love and pity for the weak. ”

"At a young age, you can pass the exam, and your future is really limitless. Such an excellent boy actually told me that he wanted to give me a future, which really made me very happy. I also believe that what you say is true, maybe with you, life will be beautiful. However, I already have someone I like, and Zhiyuan and I live and die together, and we promise each other, so I can't accept the future you give me. ”
