Chapter 3: Brother and Sister
Seeing the person standing at the door, Zhao Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
And the arrogant aunt just now also faced Zhao Jin, and she didn't seem to be tough, but just put on a kind smile:
"Brother Jin is back."
Zhao Jinqingjun's little face straightened, completely disappeared from the panicked and restrained appearance in front of Song Zhizhi, and it looked a little majestic.
Xiucai didn't kneel when he saw the county order, the Zhao family's generation has produced such a talent as Zhao Jin so far, and his bones are not soft.
Besides, he and Zhao Xuan lost their mother when they were young and lost their father at a young age, he regarded raising his sister as his responsibility early, whether it was before or after, he has always taken great care of his sister.
It is precisely because of this that Ding, who was still ashamed in front of Zhao Xuan just now, changed his face so quickly.
"If there is no good tea at home, I will not be wronged by my aunt, if there is nothing to do, my nephew will send my aunt home."
The Ding family secretly hated in his heart, the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family were all oil and salt, and they didn't know what to do!
If it weren't for Zhao Xuan's good looks, people might not be able to take a fancy to her!
Thinking of the two taels of matchmaker money that she had already carried in her arms, Ding's eyes rolled, she didn't believe that this thing couldn't be done!
Zhao Jin didn't miss the calculation in Ding's eyes, his eyes signaled Zhao Xuan not to speak, and turned his head to respectfully Ding to send him back to his uncle's house.
"My nephew has seen my uncle."
Zhao Jin, who arrived at the big house, did not leave immediately, but gave his hand to the man of the Tian family who had just been transferred to carry a load of firewood into the door.
"Brother Jin is here, just right, let's eat together."
Zhao Wanshan is a rough man from the Tian family, although he is not suitable for his nephew's crepe style, but after all, he is his own nephew, and he is still very willing to take care of it.
Zhao Jin didn't agree, but said:
"My nephew has something to make clear to my uncle."
"What's the matter? It's all a family, and it's just a matter of saying it directly. Zhao Wanshan said with a big grin.
"Xuan'er has not yet reached the end of time, and her health is not good, so it is not appropriate to marry early, the nephew promised his father to take good care of his sister when his father was dying, and he will never let his sister marry early, and his aunt suddenly came to the door and said that he wanted to set up a family affair for his sister, I am afraid that he will live up to his aunt's kindness."
"What does this mean? Did you kiss Xuan'er? ”
Zhao Wanshan looked at his wife.
Ding's eyes purred, and when he heard this, he raised his hand to wipe the dry corners of his eyes, and said aggrievedly:
"I'm all for the good of their brother and sister, Xuan'er can also help Brother Jin after she gets married, I heard that Brother Jin'er hasn't paid the money this year, but as long as our family can make up this money, how can I, as an aunt, not help with this, it's my own nephew......
But we are digging in the soil, where can we earn this money, it is better to let Xuan'er marry a good family, besides, I am saying kiss to Xuan'er, not pushing her into the fire pit, Brother Jin'er said this as if I intended to harm Xuan's girl, the conscience of heaven and earth, I am all for the good of your brothers and sisters! ”
Zhao Wanshan didn't know about the restraint yet, and he was embarrassed when he heard the words.
"Brother Jin, how much is your bundle missing?"
"How much worse can you make up? What about this year's and next year? Our son is about to get married, and I don't know how much money this dowry will cost! Ding seemed to have guessed what Zhao Wanshan was going to say next, and hurriedly grabbed Bai.
This is a tricky question indeed.
Even if Zhao Wanshan had the heart to help Zhao Jin, he didn't have that ability.
Zhao Jin watched clearly from the sidelines, so he didn't answer, but said:
"If the nephew wants to use his sister's dowry money to study, it is okay not to read this book, so please don't worry about the uncle and aunt, the sister will not marry at this time, and the nephew's restraint will also find a way for himself."
Zhao Jin made his words very clear, and Zhao Wanshan couldn't say a word if he wanted to persuade him.
"Brother Jin is confused, isn't it, your sister is going to marry sooner or later-"
"This doesn't worry about the uncle, what the nephew said just now is not a joke, I hope the aunt will think about it, and the nephew will leave."
Seeing Zhao Jin's back go away, Ding said in a weird way:
"This is your good nephew, my aunt is wholeheartedly good for their brothers and sisters, and he doesn't give me a good face in front of your uncle! I want to see how he, a waste scholar who can't carry his shoulders and can't carry his hands, can feed him and his sick sister! ”
"What nonsense!"
Zhao Wanshan reprimanded angrily.
"Am I talking nonsense? Did you still want to give him money just now, and you didn't look at your nephew who was above the top to see if he could look down on your money!
Your own two sons are not married to daughters-in-law, where do you have the heart to worry about others?
My daughter's family always has to get married, and if I miss this time, I see what kind of good family he can ask for for his sister! ”
Zhao Wanshan was silent.
-
"Brother, you bought all of this today?"
Zhao Xuan looked at the bag full of bags and was very surprised.
Seeing that the contents of the bag did not turn into leaves and stones, Zhao Jin recalled his previous magical experience and chose to bury the secret in his heart.
He didn't say a word about the peculiar mountain spirit girl, except that he was lucky to meet a merchant who traveled from south to north and bought the goods.
Ejiao dates were all given to Zhao Xuan.
The rice and sausages were steamed in a pot at noon, and they were fragrant.
After dinner, Zhao Xuan looked at his brother who was sitting in the study and was studying hard, he didn't know what he thought, and only knocked on the door after a long time and said:
"Brother, what your aunt said, why don't you agree? I'm willing to marry. ”
The family's foundation is not thick, Zhao Xuan has long guessed that the family has no money, and he eats so much today, and he doesn't know where his brother earned his hard-earned money.
Zhao Xuan thought of her sick and weak body, and felt that she was a drag on her brother, maybe it would be better to marry early.
Zhao Jin frowned, got up and put down the book in his hand: "What nonsense are you talking about, how old are you, how do you get married." ”
"Brother, I'm really willing to marry, the family that my aunt said can give a dowry of five taels-"
"Zhao Xuan!"
Speaking of the dowry, how could Zhao Jin still not understand her sister's thoughts.
The brother and sister looked at each other speechlessly, they grew up dependent on each other, they are relatives whose blood is thicker than water, and they all hope that each other can live a better life.
Zhao Jin couldn't say anything about the harsher reprimand.
Even if he was the head of the county government test, he had no money, and he couldn't read the book.
My sister even wants to support him with her own dowry!
He had to find a way to make money!
Song Zhizhi, who didn't know what happened after Zhao Jin went back, was editing the circle of friends at this time.
[Long live art!] ]
The accompanying picture is a landscape painting by Zhao Jin.
A handful of people in the second-generation circle of friends who like to play elegant art love this kind of calligraphy and painting, which is very compelling although they can't see the way.
