Because the Jiang family is coming over today to discuss the marriage date, Ruan Yimian and his father and mother have not worked in the field, and his brother Ruan Yiwen has also come back from the school leave.

After waking up from a nightmare last night, Ruan Yimian never fell asleep again, seeing that the sky was already dark, he simply got up and made breakfast.

Ruan's family is small, and the labor force for work is not as good as other people's families, Ruan Yimian is weak and can't do heavy work, but he also wants to share one or two for the family, so he took over the cooking work, so that his father and mother can come back from a busy day and have a hot meal to eat.

A few years ago, the imperial court studied the method of fertilizing the field, and cultivated sweet potatoes, after these things were popularized among the people, the people's lives were much better, and the pomegranate village was not rich, but the people in the village were also able to eat a full meal, and they could also eat two pieces of meat during the New Year's Festival.

The farmer's breakfast was simple, Ruan Yimian cooked chestnut rice and bean porridge, steamed some sweet potatoes, and sandwiched a small bowl of pickled cucumbers.

Lu Caimei got up early in the morning and saw that her youngest son had already made breakfast and was sitting in front of the stove stunned, and wondered: "Brother Mian'er, why did you get up so early?" ”

Ruan Yimian was disturbed by last night's dream, and her spirit was still a little dazed at this time, she was afraid that his mother would worry, so she didn't dare to say more, so she only smiled reluctantly: "The big rooster behind me crows and wakes me up." ”

Lu Caimei saw that his face was pale, and his eyes were blue and black, so she guessed that he hadn't slept well, and she was a little distressed, but she only thought that her son was worried about the Jiang family's coming to discuss marriage, so she didn't ask any more.

During breakfast, talking about Ruan Yimian's family affairs, Ruan Yiwen proposed that his younger brother should not avoid it, and also meet with the Jiang family.

In the dream, his brother said the same thing, and Ruan Yimian was still a little embarrassed at that time, but this time he responded calmly.

Ruan Yiwen seemed a little surprised, raised his eyebrows, and looked at his younger brother a few more times.

After the young people in the village are engaged, as long as they don't see each other a few days before the marriage, they don't have to deliberately avoid suspicion the rest of the time.

Jiang Qingyao and his father and mother did not come over when they were recruiting, and this time they discussed the marriage date, saying that the Lin family and Jiang Qingyao came with a matchmaker.

Ruan Yiwen wanted his younger brother to meet his future mother-in-law in advance, Ruan Yimian nodded, Ruan Dexian and Lu Caimei glanced at each other, and did not object.

After eating, Lu Caimei urged her youngest son to make up for sleep, and Ruan Yimian obediently went back to the room, but she didn't really sleep.

Everything that happened during the meal was exactly the same as in the dream, and Ruan Yimian felt even more uneasy. He pinched himself hard, barely trying to calm himself.

Since this nightmare is likely to be true, he has to plan for it in advance.

In any case, his father and brother are innocent, they should not be dragged down by him, no matter how weak he is, he can't let the tragedy happen again.

He wants to save his life, let his father and mother live a long life, no longer worry about him, and let his brother successfully participate in the examination......

Ruan Yimian calmed down, recalled the nightmare carefully, and finally thought of a way to deal with it.

He had never seen the Lin family before, and if the Lin family looked exactly like the dream later, then he could be sure that this dream was true, then the first thing he had to do was to withdraw from the Jiang family.

In addition to quitting relatives, there are several things that must be done.

Although marrying into the Jiang family in his previous life made him die unfortunately, it was not without any gain. He found a doctor who could cure him, made a friend, and learned a money-making trade from him.

That friend's name is "Lin Qiu", and he is Jiang Qingyao's cousin and Lin's own nephew. He is only two years older than Ruan Yimian, with a lively personality and a kind person. When Ruan Yimian was seriously ill, he secretly asked someone to help buy medicine, but unfortunately he was bumped into, and he was also locked up by the Lin family.

Lin Qiu had a bad life in the Jiang family, and not long after Ruan Yimian's death, he was forcibly sold by Jiang Guangqian to an old widower as a concubine, and he didn't know if he escaped in the end.

Ruan Yimian made up her mind, this time she wanted to rescue Lin Qiu from the Jiang family in advance.

Before that, he had to use the skills he had learned in his previous life to earn more silver, treat himself, improve the situation at home, and save Lin Qiu......

After the Jiang family came over, Ruan Yiwen went to call his brother out, and as soon as he knocked on it, the door opened.

Ruan Yimian looked at the sun outside, her heart was cold, and the Lin family also came over at this time in her dream.

In just a few steps, he walked heavily. Ruan Yiwen noticed that something was wrong with his younger brother today, and pulled him to whisper a few words.

"After all, this is your lifelong event, no matter how cautious it is, I still think that your marriage with Jiang Qingyao is a little hasty, and I don't know what his father's character is, whether he will bully you. Later, if his mother is not good to get along, you should shirk it first, don't go to the next marriage date, I have already explained to my father and mother, and the marriage book has not been decided, and it is still too late to regret it......"

My brother chattered, and what he said was exactly the same as in his dream.

Everything corresponds, Rao is Ruan Yimian does not believe in evil, and at this time he has to admit that everything in the dream is true, maybe that is his last life.

Ruan Yiwen likes to put his brother on the shelf on weekdays, although he cares about his younger brother, but rarely tells him so seriously, Ruan Yimian didn't notice his worries in his previous life, and now he wakes up like a dream, only to find that his brother didn't approve of this marriage in his previous life.

Ruan Yiwen saw that his younger brother was confused, and he was really worried, so he couldn't help but ask a few more words, and the words he said later were things that he had never said in his previous life.

"Although you are a brother, you don't necessarily have to get married, it's really not good, and your brother will support you!"

When Ruan Yimian heard this, he remembered what happened to his brother in his previous life, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

The "invitation" usually comes in the morning, and after breakfast, Lu Caimei looked around, but the people of the Jiang family arrived near noon, and Jiang Qingyao, who said that he was going to come over, did not appear.

Lu Caimei was a little unhappy in her heart, Ruan Dexian pushed her, and she put on a smiling face to greet her.

In addition to the matchmaker, Lin also brought a maid, a small servant, and a coachman to come over.

Lin was wearing a crimson elastic dark pattern long jacket and a gold embroidered cotton skirt with a color plate, two gold hairpins on his head, and a jade bracelet on his hand, which was very noble and ladylike.

Rao had heard of the Jiang family's wealth for a long time, and this time she really met with the Lin family, Lu Caimei was also a little restrained, and she straightened the washed white clothes on her body before stepping forward to say hello.

Ruan Dexian used to be a running boy in a big restaurant when he was young, he had seen some of the world, and he knew a few words, so he was more relaxed than his wife at this time.

He beckoned people to come into the house and sat down, and asked his wife to bring the specially prepared tea and snacks.

The Ruan family was polite and warm, but there was no smile on Lin's face. She took the maid's hand and pushed her chin into the door, and when she entered, she glanced around before pouting and sitting down.

Her posture didn't look like a good match, Ruan Dexian's heart sank slightly, but her face was silent.

"The humble house is shabby, and the hospitality is not good, Mrs. Lin should not be surprised. It's been a hard time for you all the way, so let's have a cup of tea to moisten your throat. ”

He said this politely, and the matchmaker who came with him smiled and said a few polite words to him, but Lin never said anything.

After Lin sat down, he took the tea on the table with his orchid fingers and looked at it, sneered for a while, and said to Lu Caimei: "Sister is really good at running a house, this tea was sent by Qingyao, right?" ”

Lu Caimei's face was a little ugly, and Ruan Dexian's face sank.

The people in the village have barely been able to eat enough in the past few years, where can they have spare money to buy tea? Ruan Dexian drinks home-grown coarse tea on weekdays.

This time the Jiang family came over, and Ruan Dexian wanted to go to the town to buy tea for guests, but was stopped by Ruan Yimian.

The family is poor, and he usually has to break every penny in half to spend, and he is unwilling to spend his father's hard-earned money to save face for himself, so he said that he can just take the tea sent by Jiang Qingyao to entertain him.

Ruan Dexian thought that what they bought might not be as good as Jiang Qingyao's delivery, so he didn't insist anymore, but he didn't expect to be picked by the Lin family in person.

Today they are late, Jiang Qingyao missed the appointment in the future, it is already very rude, the Lin family neither explained why his son missed the appointment, nor explained why he came late, obviously did not take the Ruan family in his eyes.

The Lin family is arrogant and rude, but Jiang Qingyao is good to his son, and in his son's current situation, there is no better choice than Jiang Qingyao.

Ruan Dexian thought about it for a while, and finally swallowed it.

"This tea was indeed sent by Qingyao, we countrymen don't understand tea, Brother Mian'er and his mother thought that what Qingyao sent must be good, so she specially took it out to entertain you."

Ruan Dexian's words were neither humble nor arrogant, giving the Jiang family enough face.

The matchmaker was the one invited by Jiang Qingyao, and she had the heart to ease the atmosphere, so she smiled and echoed: "Jiang Xiucai used it to honor the Yue family, it must be bad!" Lady Tollin's blessing, my old woman can taste this good tea today! ”

Lin glanced at her, not appreciating, and the matchmaker shut up in a sneer.

Lu Caimei held back her anger, smiled reluctantly, and asked the Lin family, "Qingyao said before that he would come over today, but something delayed?" ”

Lin pushed the tea a little farther away, turned his head to look at Lu Caimei, and looked disapproving: "Sister, what she said is not right, we can just discuss this wedding date, where do we have to let Qingyao go on this trip?" He is still studying now, and the township exam has only been two years, how can he have so much time to spend on such a small thing? Besides, if they are allowed to do everything, then what do we women do? ”

Lu Caimei was dumbfounded when she heard this, marrying a wife and starting a family turned out to be a "trivial matter"?

Before she could react, Lin said unhurriedly: "Since our two families are going to get married, I also have to persuade my sister, Yimian grew up in the village, and may not know the rules of our big family, while you are not yet married, you have to teach and teach." ”

"The ancestors of the Jiang family were big officials, Qingyao is a smart child, and he will definitely be an official in the future, it stands to reason that he should marry Miss Yan from a big family to be considered a good match, but he has a crush on Yimian, and his father and I can't resist him. But the ugly words are ahead, our Jiang family's son-in-law is not so easy to be! ”

Lu Caimei couldn't hold back when she heard this, obviously this marriage was brought about by Jiang Qingyao, why did it become like their Ruan family climbing high branches in the mouth of the Lin family?

She was about to retort, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was stopped by Ruan Dexian.

Ruan Dexian's hand holding the chair was so hard that his muscles were bruised, and he laughed angrily: "Mrs. Lin, you go on." ”

Lin Shi had a little smug on his face, as if he knew that they didn't dare to have an opinion.

"Qingyao is still young now, it is the right thing to get famous, if you want me to say, it doesn't matter if he and Yimian get married later, it is best to wait for Qingyao to get married again, before this, Yimian still has to be considerate of Qingyao, don't always let him run here, this is not in accordance with the rules."

"Brother is not good at giving birth, and our Jiang family only has one child, Qingyao, so we can't cut off the incense! If Yi Mian has not come out within two years of marriage, then the Jiang family will have to give Qing Yao a concubine, Qing Yao is now a Xiucai Gong, and he will definitely be more promising in the future, to be his husband, Yi Mian has to show the bearing of a talented husband, to be tolerant, don't let people look at our Jiang family's jokes......"

Lin said a lot in one breath, and finally came to a conclusion lightly.

"If what I just said, your family can accept it, then we will set the wedding date, if not, then our Jiang family will have to think about it again."

She looked at the Ruan family husband and wife proudly, and the disdain in her eyes was overflowing.

A peasant brother can marry their family Qingyao, it's like the ancestral tomb is smoking, what else is there to find fault with? The Lin family was sure in their hearts that even if they were unhappy, the Jiang family would accept these conditions.

This Jiang family is very poor, and one of their family's sick brothers is married to her son as a concubine, which can be regarded as promoting them, let alone a husband?

After Lin finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall froze.

The matchmaker has been protecting the matchmaker for so many years, and she has never seen such a mother-in-law, and she said that she wanted to take a concubine when she met for the first time, which is obviously not satisfied with the future son-in-law!

However, the two families are indeed far apart, the people in the village are poor, and for the sake of glory and wealth, it is not for nothing that they marry their brothers and girls to other people's concubines, but I don't know how the father and mother of the Ruan family will decide.
