Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

The next day is the day of Mid-Autumn Festival.

According to the rules, Lin Ze had to go back to Papa Lin for the festival today, and he could not pick Papa Lin up.

And today I have to show Lin Xiaolian a date. I agreed to Lin Sangui yesterday, so Lin Ze naturally couldn't go back on his word. He got up in the morning, packed up and changed his clothes, and went to Zhang Yu with a few big crabs and two catties of fat pork.

Lin Jianwen also rushed home last night. After all, Lin Xiaolian has a closer relationship with him. If the target sees him coming late, I don't know what rumors will spread to ruin his reputation.

When Lin Ze saw Lin Jianwen, he had to sigh that the ancient exam was not easy.

After just going out for half a month, Lin Jianwen, who had a ruddy complexion and fleshy face before, lost a lot of weight, and his spirit was obviously exhausted. When he saw him, he didn't have the expression of confronting each other and calculating eyes. 'I'm exhausted' four characters.

It can be seen how physically and mentally exhausted this person was tortured by the scientific examination. In fact, it is not surprising that a large number of people can be killed if they are closed in a small cubicle for nine days, regardless of their literary talents.

Seeing Lin Jianwen's ghostly appearance of collapse after the exam, Lin Ze decided to strengthen his exercise plan, and he was more cautious about the imperial examination.

When we arrived at Lin's house, we couldn't avoid meeting the brain-buzzing narcissist Emperor Zhang Yinzhu.

But fortunately, this woman is not stupid enough to make gestures in front of her man, and Lin Jianwen has just finished the imperial examination, and before the results come out, she has the expectation of passing the exam, she is not stupid enough to be confused at this time, making Things that make your man unhappy.

But in order to avoid seeing Lin Ze losing his composure, Zhang Yinzhu never left the room after getting up in the morning.

Chen Shuju also changed her normal routine today and stopped arguing with Lin Ze. After all, Lin Xiaolian is also her own daughter, and this time she said that the conditions of the person she met with were very good, so she has no reason to sabotage it by herself, right?

Of course, the biggest reason for her resolute refusal to admit it was that she couldn't beat Lin Ze. Ever since he knew the truth about the past and knew that she was not his own mother, Lin Ze had never been polite to her. He really pissed her off...

Lin Ze was too lazy to care about these people.

When they arrived at the Lin's house, Zhang Yu took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help Lin's father, while Lin Ze pulled Lin Xiaolian to a corner, first asked about the details of the marriage, and then waited until he was mentally prepared to help him.

"Little sister, why haven't I heard of this marriage before? Did dad find it for you, or did your mother find it for you?"

Pulling the person to the corner, Lin Ze didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly to the topic.

Hearing Father Lin mention it in the bullock cart yesterday, he was a little suspicious about Lin Xiaolian's marriage. He had only separated from the Lin family for a few months, and he had been living in the village.

Generally speaking, it will take some time to get married except that the same village is faster. The matchmaker will help find someone, the woman will inquire privately, and so on. No matter how things are done, there will be a delay of one or two months. Only then will the 'blind date' be carried out.

If Lin Xiaolian had already started talking about this marriage, it was impossible for Lin Sangui not to tell him.

"Mother was looking for it... But brother, I know that person, that person."

Proposing to marry her, the little girl's pungent personality was rarely shy, and she stammered and blushed a little.

Coincidentally, a month ago, she went to the town to help Father Lin sell the newly harvested polished rice and white flour this year, and accidentally met a man. Not only did he scare away the hooligans, but he also kindly introduced them to grain merchants with fair prices.

Later, the other party came to the village with a load of goods to sell things, and she realized that the other party lived in the town and was doing a job as a peddler in the village with a radius of tens of miles.

Because the hero rescued Meilin Xiaolian at the beginning, I had a good impression, and then I met and got acquainted later, and the two single unmarried men and girls naturally rubbed against each other and sparked some ambiguous sparks.

What's more, she didn't expect that the man Chen Shuju asked the matchmaker to find happened to be this man. The two parties were interested, and the marriage was naturally discussed quickly.

"Although he is a shopkeeper, he lives in the town, his family is rich, and he is honest and hardworking. I think he is pretty good..."

Lin Xiaolian looks like a shy girl in love.

She originally wanted to find someone from the same village as her family, but she couldn't predict such things as feelings, and of course her thoughts would be different when she met someone she liked.

Lin Ze frowned.

It's not that his thoughts are too dark and prejudiced, he always thinks that Lin Xiaolian's marriage is very weird, and it's not impossible for a hero to save the beauty to happen in real life, but as long as Chen Shuju gets involved, he feels that nothing good, that woman A troublemaker.

"What is the situation that Dad went to inquire about?"

"As far as I know, his family is a foreigner. He has been in the town for more than half a year. The family is not complicated, just parents and grandparents. There are no bad sisters-in-law. He is an only seedling, and the whole family is around The neighbors have a good reputation, although I am a shopkeeper, but I heard that I am already looking at the shop, and if I save enough money, I can open a small grocery store and live a stable life..."

Lin Xiaolian is a rational girl. Although she is in love, getting married is a lifetime event, so of course she has inquired about it carefully.

After inquiring openly and secretly for several days, she confirmed that the other party's house was really like that, so she agreed to the marriage. Today the man came to see her for the last time.

But Lin Ze still felt uncomfortable no matter what he heard.

How to put it, he can't find anything wrong with it now, the man is diligent and motivated, the family population is simple, the parents-in-law and grandma have good tempers, and the most important thing is that the family lives in the town and the conditions are good. This is simply the most ideal marriage for the villagers object.

But it was too ideal and perfect, which made Lin Ze feel more worried, because it was Chen Shuju who found it.

I really can't blame him for being biased. He thinks that such a good target family would not want someone like Chen Shuju to get married, and the marriage went so smoothly.

If we can see the reason for his prosperity, but a month ago he didn't have the reputation and face he has now...

But Lin Xiaolian herself is really satisfied with this marriage, after finishing her shy exhortation,

"Brother, you have to take a good look at it for me later, but don't embarrass him too much. If my mother is uncomfortable with the dowry, you and father should ignore her, she is just a money-sucker..."

When looking at each other, the woman can't interrupt in the main room, she can only sit far away for others to see, she is not worried about her mother.

"Well, big brother will take a closer look for you later."

I can't tell what's wrong, and Lin Xiaolian herself likes it, so Lin Ze can only hold back her doubts for the time being, and doesn't express her doubts to her face.

It saves him a lot of good intentions and doubts, but it is not good to make people unhappy and cause misunderstandings.

Otherwise, according to Chen Shuju's temperament, he must be blamed for any problems in the marriage, and that would be more harm than good.

*******

The time in the morning is short, talking for a while, doing things for a while, and the delay is basically over.

Just around noon, the man Lin Xiaolian was looking at came to the house.

The man's surname is Jia. It seems that the Jia family attaches great importance to today's blind date. They brought a lot of meeting gifts, including pork and pastries. The etiquette is very thoughtful.

The Jia family boy looks ordinary, but he is extremely honest and honest, perhaps because he is a salesman, and his speech is also remarkable, he seems to be a good man.

The Jia family couple also seem to be amiable and easy to get along with. It would be a good idea to get married like this.

The only bad thing is that this Jia family is from outside, and they have only settled in Nanyang Town for half a year, and there are no relatives around to help them, so their foundation is weak.

So according to the Jia family's words, it was because their son was not easy to talk about, so they targeted the girl in the village. It happened that the two young people met before, this is really fate.

"Lin Sangui, let me tell you, you are a lucky old man. Jia Bo and Mrs. Jia have said that they like your little Lian very much, so I am willing to give ten taels of silver as the dowry, and the dowry will be as good..."

"The Jia family just hopes that the two children will get married and have grandchildren as soon as possible. The time is right. The twelfth of next month will be a good day. At that time, they will rent a sedan chair to pick up the relatives. Look, this is a good family that can't be found even with lanterns. ah……"

It is said that the matchmaker's mouth, the waiter's legs, and the gift money from others, the matchmaker can speak good things.

But the matchmaker is not guilty, she has already reached the point of seeing each other, which means that both the man and the woman are satisfied after inquiring in private, and the marriage is almost inseparable, she just needs to pick up good words.

Complimenting the matchmaker, the people of the Jia family are very humble,

"Where is it, Xiaolian's two elder brothers are all talented men, this marriage should be a blessing for our family..."

"Isn't that right? My second child has just finished the imperial examination. When the result comes out, he might be the master of Juren. Ordinary people can't even climb up. I just gave it to my family because I saw that your son is hardworking and promising. Kobayashi said."

Chen Shuju nodded proudly, with a satisfied expression on her face. She was the one who was looking for this marriage.

Lin Sangui sounded good, but he was not very good at reading people, so he couldn't make up his mind, so he looked at his two sons.

"Father, I think Jia Bo and Mrs. Jia are quite sincere. Mr. Jia is also hardworking and honest. Although the family is small and there are no relatives, the town is not far from the village. After we get married, our family can Help each other live with the younger sister..."

Lin Jianwen took the lead in expressing his suggestion and agreeing.

The Jia boy rubbed his head, smiled honestly, with a stupefied look, actively expressing his feelings,

"Uncle Lin, don't worry, if I marry Xiaolian, I will treat her well."

Lin Sangui was very happy to hear this, but he still didn't agree right away.

Mainly he had the same idea as Lin Ze. This was the marriage that Chen Shuju had found, so he was not at ease, and Lin Jianwen's credibility with him had also been questioned several times.

So Lin Sangui asked Lin Ze again,

"Boss, Xiaolian is your sister, can you give me some advice on this matter..."

"Uncle and Aunt Jia are indeed very sincere, and the conditions to match up with a younger sister are also very good, but we only have such a daughter in our family, so we need to ask more questions. Please don't mind, Uncle and Aunt Jia."

Lin Ze's attitude was indifferent, and there was no special emotion on his expression.

But Chen Shuju knew from Lin Ze's performance that the matter would not go as smoothly as she imagined, and she was itching with hatred.

Just ask, where do so many problems come from, Lin Ze has a lot of things, this bastard wants to get revenge on her for ruining her daughter's marriage, right?

"Scholar please, marriage is an important matter, this is what it should be..."

The members of Jia's family are quite calm, and their attitude is very cooperative and impeccable.
