Wen Shu talked to Li Xu for a while before leaving.

Li Xu sat in the pavilion for a while, then got up and walked out of the village.

When Li Xu couldn't see his figure, Yingbao came down from the tree.

Ying Bao said to Erni and Huzi Jiang Wu: "Don't tell others what happened just now." ”

The three nodded.

After picking the fruit, Jiang Wu and Huzi carried the basket home, Erni said: "What's this, it's just two people talking when they meet, the village girl and the good friend Xiaolangjun also make an appointment to go to the mountains to chop firewood together, and they go for most of the day." ”

"Sister Wen is different from the people in the village, her family is very strict, in case something bad comes out, it will be difficult for her in-laws in the future." Sakura Treasure Road.

Erni: "That's right, it's better to marry Li Fuzi, Li Fuzi is still a talent, but he will be promoted in the future, maybe he will become a big official." ”

Ying Bao blinked, and felt that what Sister Erni said was very reasonable.

But if Li Xu is interested in Sister Wen, he can't pretend to be deaf and dumb all the time, and he will definitely beg his mother to propose marriage to him.

Regardless of whether there is a disparity between the two families, he must have a responsible person.

Ying Bao silently set a time for Li Xu in his heart.

It's just a month.

If within a month, Li Xu still hasn't proposed to the Wen family, but he doesn't avoid Sister Wen's overtures, then he will make a move, hum!

Before the one-month deadline came, news came that Li Xu was going to marry Wen Shu.

Since Sister Wen's father is not here, it is Mrs. Wen and her son Wen Hengyin who are in charge of this matter.

Of course, there is also the testimony of the master of the school and Mr. Wu.

The two families settled very suddenly, but everyone was not surprised at all.

Mrs. Wen and her children have been living with Li Xu's mother, An's, and they know each other's character.

Mrs. Wen admired An's personality and was also optimistic about Li Xu's future, so when An's officially asked a matchmaker to come to the door, she agreed.

Although the Wen family is a family of apricot forests, no one in the family participated in the imperial examination.

And Li Xu has made rapid progress in his studies under the guidance of Mr. Wu, and he may be able to take the exam again next year.

Considering that Li Xu is already twenty-five and will have to take the exam next year, and Wen Shu is also seventeen, Mrs. Wen wrote to her husband and set the wedding date for the eighteenth day of the lunar month this year, and decided to hold a wedding ceremony in Dongchen Village.

As for whether someone from the Wen family's side will come, Mrs. Wen doesn't care at all.

Anyway, let the husband write a letter to inform him, they can come if they want to, and it doesn't matter if they don't come, as long as their daughter is happy.

In June, Wen Shilang hurried to Dongchen Village with two carriages.

He was very dissatisfied with his wife's arbitrariness, but after seeing Li Xu's mother and son, he was a little angry.

Coupled with his daughter's willingness, Wen Shilang had to suppress the fire and Zhang Luo built a house here.

His daughter had to marry from his own house, so he had to build a house first.

In the end, Jiang Saburo sold a piece of his land to Mrs. Wen, enough for her family to build a six-room yard.

Patriarch Chen Fu also sold a piece of his own inferior land to Li Xu and asked him to build a house and marry a wife.

In this way, Dongchen Village is lively again, with an endless stream of ox carts and donkey carts transporting wood and bricks.

However, the old Chen's family in the West Village and Chu Yan's mother's family had a quarrel.

When Brother Chu Yan saw his crazy sister, he was immediately furious, and in order to vent his anger for his sister, he chased Chen Lao and Chen Feng with a machete.

Seeing this, Chen Laozhuan's third son picked up a flat pole and smashed it over, knocking Chu Yan's eldest brother to the ground.

As a result, the Chen family and the Chu family completely fell out, and the Chu family sued Chen Changping's family to the county government with a complaint, saying that they abused and mutilated their daughter-in-law.

But the county government came to check and found that there was no such thing, and Chen Laoshui's family was overwhelmed by this woman.

As for the scars on Chu Yan's face, no one knew what was going on, and even Chu Yan herself couldn't tell who hurt her, only an angry scolding, crazy speech, which was not enough to accept at all.

So the county government sentenced the Chen Lao family to compensate the Chu family with 20 taels of silver, and the matter ended there.

But after such a fuss, Chen Changping was persuaded to quit by the county school and asked him to find another academy to study.

Chen Changping didn't have any intention to enter the academy again, so he simply went home, and occasionally slipped to Li Xu to talk to him about the past and the present.

In the blink of an eye, it is the wax moon.

The houses of the Wen family and the Li Xu family were built, all freshly painted, and the furniture in them was all available.

In the past few years, An's has also planted fungus ears, and with the income earned by his son's teaching, he has saved hundreds of taels of silver.

Half of the house was built, and the rest was taken out to buy the marrying and bride price.

There are still a few days before his son gets married, and An invited Chunniang and Zhou to help his son sew a new quilt.

There were clean mats on the ground, and the three of them sat on the mats and sewed quilts.

Zhou sighed: "The children are all older, and they are all married, and when Wen Shu came to us, he was still a little doll less than ten years old." ”

"Not really."

Chun Niang flew the needle and walked the line, and said with emotion: "At that time, my Bao'er was only a little big, and she became a big girl in a blink of an eye." ”

In a few months, the girl Sakura Bao will be twelve years old, and she is already a proper beautiful girl, and she can't find a better looking girl than her.

But it's such a girl, it's not easy to find her in-laws.

The door of the house is low, and the person who is looking for it will naturally not be high.

But how can Chunniang be willing. If you don't wait for your son to be admitted to the juren and then say goodbye to her daughter, maybe she can marry into the scholar clan.

An glanced at Chunniang and didn't interject.

Jiang Jiayingbao is still young, and it is inconvenient for him to talk about other people's affairs.

In fact, she is very optimistic about the Wen family and the Jiang family, but she can't say it at this time.

The next day, a convoy of carriages suddenly came to the village, and there were more than a dozen of them.

They asked where Mrs. Ching Wen lived, and drove all the carriages over.

When Wen Shilang and his wife heard the noise, they saw several people getting out of the carriage.

"Mother, why are you here?" Wen Shilang was surprised and hurriedly saluted Mrs. Wen.

Old Madam Wen was almost seventy years old, with white hair and thin cheeks, and her eyes were extremely fierce.

"What? Can't I come? The old lady got out of the carriage with the help of the servant woman and swept her daughter-in-law coldly.

Wen Shilang and his wife hurriedly stepped forward and supported the old lady.

The old lady snorted and walked into the courtyard.

A few people got down from the carriage, namely Wen's third wife Lin, and her two daughters, Wen Tian and Wen Jiao.

There is also a teenager who is the eldest son of Wen Hengchuan and the great-grandson of Mrs. Wen.

Walking into the hall and sitting down on the main seat, the accompanying servant woman hurriedly asked the fourth lady where to make tea.

Xiao Zhenniang asked Mama to take the old lady's servant to the stove room, and saluted her mother-in-law: "Lao Nuniang will run by herself." ”

The old lady ignored her, and talked to her fourth son: "Why didn't you see Shu'er and Hengyin?" ”

Wen Shilang: "Shu'er went to her little sister's house, and Hengyin studied with her master, and she hasn't finished school yet." ”

The old lady snorted: "Isn't Shu'er going to get married?" Why are you still running into the door? Whose rule is this? ”

Mrs. Wen immediately said, "Shu'er's little sister's house is not far away, and there are no outsiders in her house. ”

"Presumptuous!" The old lady slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Mother-in-law is talking, how can you interject casually!" ”

Mrs. Wen raised her eyes to look at her mother-in-law, and her face sank.

As soon as the mother-in-law arrived, she got angry, did she want to give her daughter-in-law a horse?
