Qinghe Pastoral

The days went on without a hitch, and after half a month of busy work, the wasteland on the Tubanpo slope had been levelled.At first, the villagers were very curious about Ji Ruixiu's intentions for buying this barren slope. Because the villagers were in awe of Ji's family, and Ji Ruixiu had a cold temper, no one asked even if they were curious.But Aunt Ji's fat aunt can't hide things. People in the village asked her about it. After she asked Ji Ruixiu, she told the people in the village.

It turned out that Ji Ruixiu was used to grow fruit trees on this barren slope, which was not unusual at first, but it was strange that people in the village had never heard of this kind of fruit. Aunt Ji said that it was a unique treasure for nobles in neighboring countries.The people in the village were not surprised when they heard it. If this fruit can really be planted, the benefits will be huge.

Although it was known that Gao climbed into Ji's family, more and more people asked Aunt Ji since they knew that Ji Ruixiu was not married yet.Especially the young master of the Tian family often wanders in front of Ji's house. Some people in the village say that the two are a good match, and some say that the young master of the Tian family has lost his soul, but Ji Ruixiu doesn't seem to care about it, and it seems that the young master of the Tian family is full of enthusiasm People respond, it is inevitable to arouse embarrassment.

On this day, Lin Mu was walking home with pigweed on his back, but at the entrance of the village, he ran into the son of the Tian family. He and Lin Mu were about the same age but had little contact with each other. stop.

"Lin Mu, do you like Master Ji?"

Lin Mu was befuddled by the sudden question and didn't answer for a while, but Tian Yu asked again as he saw him.

"Why would Mr. Tian ask such a question?"

Companionship during illness made Lin Mu and Ji Ruixiu closer. For Lin Mu, Ji Ruixiu was no longer an unattainable son. He was also a brother and friend. As long as he was by his side, Lin Mu felt extremely at ease.

"Hmph, Lin Yuying said that you ran to other people's houses." Speaking of Lin Yuying, Tian Yu obviously disdains.

So that's the case, Lin Mu sneered in his heart, but he didn't show any surprise on his face and said: "I thought you had torn up with her, but I didn't expect that she would tell you about such a thing first. Could it be that I remembered wrongly, that she doesn't care about Young Master Ji?" Lin Mu looked harmless to humans and animals, coupled with that surprised look, Tian Yu immediately felt that Lin Yuying was clearly targeting him, so he turned around and left in anger .

Seeing people walking away, Lin Mu lost his mind. The peace of mind by his side, the joy of getting along with him, the thoughts after he left these days, do you like it?Lin Mu didn't understand and wasn't sure.

Some walked home absent-mindedly, but saw a few women talking about something around the door, Lin Mu thought that something serious happened, so he quickened his pace regardless of other things.

Seeing Lin Mu coming back, the women onlookers didn't give way to him first, but stopped Lin Mu as if he wanted to say something. Lin Mu was not in the mood and just wanted to go in, but an old lady said: "Just talk about the Lin family. Boy Mu looks good, look at all the matchmakers in the county, don't you want to live a life of a rich family in the future?" The sourness in the words could not be concealed, but there was a hint of flattery.

Hearing this, Lin Mu understood, but he was surprised that there were so many people watching this time, he hurriedly walked in regardless of the people present.There were three people sitting in the main room at this time, Xu Xiuqin, Liu Yunqiao and a well-dressed middle-aged woman. When they saw Lin Mu coming in, they had different expressions, but Liu Yunqiao who usually didn't pay much attention to Lin Mu. Speak first.

"Oh, Mu'er is back. It's a good thing. It's a good thing. Come and see the spring matchmaker from the county." After speaking, he was about to pull Lin Mu. Lin Mu didn't like her touch and felt that her behavior was very rude It's ridiculous, but the spring matchmaker couldn't hide her surprise when she saw Lin Mu.

Two days ago, the son of the Qian family from the county approached her and asked her to go to the Lin family in Qinghe village to marry her, and asked her to take Lin Mu, the son of the Lin family, as the fourth concubine.The Qian family is rich and powerful in Jing'an County. Although the son of the Qian family is well-known, he is not an ignorant person, so there are not many people who are willing to work for him.

At the beginning, when Mr. Qian came to the door, the matchmaker also wondered that a country boy deserved to invite her to the door. Although she was puzzled, but Mr. Qian gave a lot of rewards, so she attached great importance to this kiss.

Looking at the young man in front of me at this moment, the coarse linen clothes can't stop the clean temperament. The matchmaker has seen too many beauties. Although this young man is exquisite, he can't be called stunning, but it is those eyes that seem to be able to talk that make the matchmaker They were all amazed, and they couldn't help feeling a pity that it was a blessing or a curse for such a person to be favored by the passionate and beautiful Mr. Qian.

After all, she did things with money, and the matchmaker's emotions didn't stay for long. She hurriedly told Lin Mu about her visit. In her opinion, this matter was easy to handle. How many people in Jing'an County wanted to enter the gate of Qian's house.

After pondering for a long time, Lin Mu suddenly thought of Mr. Qian whom he met in the county that day. He didn't take that matter to heart at all, but he didn't expect that half a month later, someone would come to propose marriage, and he was still asked to marry to the Qian family. Small, in the eyes of others, he is still high-ranking, which can't help but find it ridiculous.

From the age of 13, many people came to the Lin family to propose marriage, both men and women, but Lin Mu hadn't considered his life-long affairs, and Lin Sheng and his wife felt that he was still young, so they hadn't decided yet.But one thing is for sure, Lin Mu will not leave the Lin family, let alone run to be a child for others. His love and concern are all here, how could he leave here?

Xu Xiuqin has been silent all the time, but Liu Yunqiao is very enthusiastic. It's hard to justify such a good opportunity for her not to join in the fun. Whether it's Lin Mu being a child or getting married, she feels at ease. It's not in vain to raise her for so many years.

"To trouble you to make this trip today, please tell Mr. Qian that although I, Lin Mu, was born in the countryside, I will never leave the Lin family, nor will I be a child for others. I cannot bear Mr. Qian's love."

Lin Mu's words of being neither humble nor overbearing are not so pleasant to the ears of the matchmaker. She has a good reputation in Jing'an County, and many people ask her to be a matchmaker. .

"What's the matter, the little Mr. Qian likes you and is more respectable than the main house. What kind of family is the Qian family? It's the richest man in Jing'an County. When you enter the Qian family, don't your parents follow suit?"

The matchmaker Chun talked tirelessly, Lin Mu listened to her but didn't pay attention to it, but Liu Yunqiao who was next to her lost her mind for a moment.Her family is regarded as a high-class family in the village, but after all, it is a farming and studying family. How can it be compared with the Qian family? If her daughter can enter the Qian family and give birth to a son based on his daughter's appearance, wouldn't a lot of wealth come? ?How can a wife from a poor family have the honor and dignity of a concubine from a rich family?Then Ji Ruixiu's tall and straight figure flashed in her mind. Her daughter wanted to be with Master Ji's family, but he was so indifferent at that time. At first, she believed that her daughter could win Master Ji's attention, but after so long, she gradually didn't like it. So confident.

The matchmaker spoke dryly, and she was a little angry when she saw Lin Mu's completely unmoved appearance. She really didn't expect that after all the good words were said, the person involved acted as if it had nothing to do with her. Now, who can have a good face to those who block their own money and ruin their reputation?

"I'm talking about Mrs. Lin, your son is still young. He pushes such a good thing away now, and he has no place to say when he regrets it later. You are from the past. The life of this peasant family is not easy. Later, he entered the door of Qian's house. Those who eat well and drink spicy food. I don’t want to leave the Lin family, what kind of family is the Qian family, and I will buy you a house in the town, and you and your husband will enjoy the blessings too, right?”

Seeing that Lin Mu couldn't make sense, the matchmaker had no choice but to start with Xu Xiuqin.

Lin Mu disagreed, and Xu Xiuqin would not agree. The young master of the Qian family likes Lin Mu now because Lin Mu is good-looking and young, but men are not as good as women. How sad it will be to be a child.Although his family is just an ordinary farming family, it is more than enough for Lin Mu to marry a wife. Even if Lin Mu lives with a man in the future, he must love Lin Mu sincerely.

"Chun matchmaker, what Mu'er means is what I mean, my family still depends on this son to carry on the family line?"

Speaking of this, the matchmaker had a bad face, but when she thought of the reward, she didn't want to leave, so she said, "Mr. Qian really cares about Mr. Lin. Do you know how much he is willing to give as a betrothal gift?" Stop Stretching five fingers out of his mouth, he said, "500 taels of silver, and you need to buy 50 acres of high-quality paddy fields for your parents in the village. This kind of money is more than enough to marry an ordinary wife."

As soon as the voice fell, Liu Yunqiao over there let out an exclamation. Indeed, isn't this the pie that fell from the sky to the farmer?They work at sunrise and return at sunset, and they can't earn such a family property in their busy lives.

To be honest, Lin Mu didn't feel happy when he heard it, but the shock was true, but it was just a shock. Even if tens of thousands of property were placed in front of him, he would not agree. He also knew his parents, which was obviously a pie In fact, it is a pit of fire. He is a man who cannot bear children. When his face ages and the freshness fades, what good will he end up with.

"Thank you, Mr. Qian, for your kindness, but I have no luck to bear it. My family is busy with affairs, so I won't keep you."

Chun Matchmaker has been a matchmaker for countless times in her life, and she has never been like today. Without the huge bounty, she didn't lose face. She thought that Lin Mu's family had little knowledge, so she went back and talked to Young Master Qian, and came to force her next time. Yu Qian's prestige must have agreed, and left angrily after thinking about it.Liu Yunqiao also followed, hurrying, and Lin Mu's mother and son didn't care.

After sending the matchmaker away, both mother and son felt very uncomfortable. If the young master of the Qian family refused to give up, what would they do?Lin Mu was eye-catching, and Xu Xiuqin thought that there were some things that could not be delayed after years of push and push.

Two days after Chun Matchmaker left, Lin Mu thought that Mr. Qian might be acting on a whim, and gradually he stopped thinking about it.
