Lucky husband

At this moment, both Bai Yaoshi and Jiang Zhiyun thought of Bai Zhiwen, but one of them thought about how her son had taken a fancy to Brother Jin and how she would tell Brother Jin's mother, and the other thought about Bai Zhiwen. The kid is pretty good, maybe I heard sister Lanyue say that it's because he is obsessed with his studies and wants to wait until he passes the exam before considering marriage.

Bai Yao thought about it, and she felt that Jiang Zhiyun had already spoken to this extent, and Brother Jin was about to turn 16, so she felt that there was no need to keep hiding Jiang Zhiyun's words, so she directly said to her: "Mother Yun, what about my family's Zhiwen?" Sample?"

This sentence sounded a bit nonsensical. Jiang Zhiyun didn't understand the connotation of Bai Yaoshi's words at first. She thought that the other party meant to ask her how Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingde were doing, and if there was nothing wrong recently.

Without thinking too much, Jiang Zhiyun replied casually: "It's pretty good, I heard from Mingde that the two of them have confidence in the college examination next year."

After listening to Jiang Zhiyun's words, Bai Yao burst out laughing, her nervousness subsided a little, and she quickly corrected Jiang Zhiyun, "I'm not talking about Zhiwen's studies, I just want to ask you what you think of my Jia Zhiwen and How about your brother Jin together!"

Jiang Zhiyun was dumbfounded, probably because she was too familiar with Bai Yaoshi, so she never thought about these two children, Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingjin, after hearing Bai Yaoshi's words, she didn't know what to do. reaction.

But then, Jiang Zhiyun pulled her brother Jin and Bai Zhiwen together to stand together in her mind, and suddenly realized that they seemed to be a good match.

Jiang Zhiyun also finally understood why she was always dissatisfied with the person she had secretly shown to Brother Jin before. It was because there was an excellent example like Bai Zhiwen standing in front of her, so she always felt that this person was not good here. That person is not good there.

In terms of appearance, Bai Zhiwen is not only not bad, but also quite good. Together with Li Mingde and Xiang Yiyu who later settled down, he ranks among the top three among the many marriageable women in the neighborhood.

In terms of ability, Bai Zhiwen has already passed the government examination at the age of seventeen, and he will be able to become a scholar in the college examination next year without accident.

However, Jiang Zhiyun felt that her brother Jin was not bad, let alone Zhong Kanger, a brother of the same clan, Mingde and Bai Zhiwen were taught by the same person, and the two of them were able to pass the exam in the same year without any accidents. Jiang Qiming's nephew, Jiang Qiming had already passed the examination of scholar last year, and he was still a student of the scholar.

Jiang Zhiyun, who was originally thinking about the relationship between the two families, suddenly went astray, and she suddenly found that the children of the next generation of the Li family and the Jiang family are all fine.

Not only the children, but also brothers and sisters-in-law of the same generation as Jiang Zhiyun, the better. She thought of what Master Kong once said about Brother Jin's blessings. Good things, everyone can develop better and better.

Putting back all these divergent thoughts, Jiang Zhiyun looked at Bai Yaoshi who was hiding her worries in her eyes, and said with feigned anger, "Sister Lanyue, did you miss my Brother Jin a few years ago?"

Thinking back to what Bai Xiuhe said to her every time she came back in the past two years, Jiang Zhiyun finally realized that something was wrong. No wonder she now thinks that the most suitable son-in-law is Bai Zhiwen. It seems that Sister Lanyue has premeditated.

Bai Yao smiled at Jiang Zhiyun and said nothing, which was equivalent to tacitly acquiescing that his previous behavior was indeed intentional.

Jiang Zhiyun thought that her brother Jin was only 13 years old two years ago, and she was still a child. She didn't quite understand why Sister Lanyue chose her daughter-in-law or her husband as her husband.

The two were already very familiar with each other. Jiang Zhiyun felt that if Bai Zhiwen became her son-in-law, she would not be picky, so she didn't have any grudges against Bai Yao. My brother Jin's?"

"This..." Bai Yao was a little shocked when faced with this question, "If I tell the truth, don't be angry."

"Actually, it wasn't that I fell in love with Brother Jin. Two years ago, Brother Jin was still young, so I didn't think about it. It was that brat in my family who fell in love with Brother Jin himself and said that he wanted to marry Brother Jin. .”

Two years ago, brother Jin was 13 years old, and Bai Zhiwen was 15 years old. Bai Zhiwen happened to be the age of first love, but just thinking that her little brother was missed by someone when she was 13 years old, Jiang Zhiyun felt a little weird.

Seeing this, Bai Yao quickly continued: "At that time Zhiwen said that he would come to marry Brother Jin after he passed the examination as a scholar. Now it is only a year away. I saw that you were really worried about Brother Jin just now. Regarding the marriage, I have to express Zhiwen's thoughts in advance, I hope you don't mind."

If someone misses Bai Ziyi at a young age, Bai Yaoshi will definitely be very upset. She said that her son wants to marry a scholar after passing the examination, but she just wants to restore Zhiwen's image in Yunniang's heart. Let Yunniang know that Zhiwen is reliable.

Two years ago, Bai Zhiwen hadn't passed the county and college exams. At that time, he made up his mind to pass the exam as a scholar and asked to marry his brother Jin. Finally, Jiang Zhiyun didn't mind his behavior so much.

Seeing this, Bai Yao was relieved. Fortunately, she didn't mess up her son's affairs. It seems that when Zhiwen passes the hospital examination next year, he should be able to propose marriage to Yunniang's family.

After learning about Bai Zhiwen's "wolf ambition", Jiang Zhiyun was no longer in the mood to embroider with Bai Yaoshi. She chatted casually for a few more words and found an excuse to leave with her small basket.

Bai Yaoshi was also a little distracted. She waited for Jiang Zhiyun to leave and closed the door of her house, went to the room and changed the window facing the yard, then opened the closet, took out a hidden key from the bottom, and opened it. There was a large locked box on the side.

There are a lot of things in the box, mainly thick winter clothes and cotton wool. These things are not easy to be damp in the box. She took out the things in the box layer by layer, and finally took out a piece from the hidden compartment on the bottom floor. Cloth bag.

This cloth bag is not big, but it looks a little heavy, and Bai Yao took a little effort to take it out. It contained the family fortune accumulated by two generations of Bai Xiucai and Xiao Bai Xiucai.

Nothing else, just ten palm-sized gold nuggets, each worth ten taels, a total of 100 taels of gold, or 1000 taels of silver.

When he was going to move from Hongyunzhou to Changping County to keep his filial piety, Bai Yao sold everything in the house except books, a change of clothes and items with special meanings, and got a total of more than 100 taels.

Going out with 1000 taels of silver is not only planted, but also easily discovered by people with bad intentions, so Bai Yao exchanged it for gold.

It happened that it was winter and she was wearing thick clothes, so she carefully sewed all the gold into the clothes and wore them close to her body.

After returning to Shanghe Village, Bai Yaoshi took the opportunity to pretend to be unintentional and told everyone that after the death of the pillar of their family, their mother and son had only 100 taels of silver left, and life for orphans and widows was difficult.

Fortunately, after returning to his hometown, the cost was not high. He bought a field, bought a homestead, and built a house. He didn't spend all 100 taels, and Bai Yao's lie was not exposed.

At this moment, Bai Yao stared at the ten gold nuggets silently. Thinking of her husband who died young, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. After a while, she calmed down and put the gold nuggets back into the small bag Then stuff it into the dark compartment and close the box again.

The use of these golds has been decided by Bai Yao long ago. It can only be moved when his son marries a wife and brother. Bai Zhiwen's dowry is 100 taels, his brother's dowry is 200 taels, and the remaining 700 taels will be used for his son. Buy a small house in Fucheng or Zhoucheng.

Although Bai Zhiwen didn't even take the Tongsheng exam at that time, but Bai Yaoshi believed that her son could pass the exam as a scholar, so she wouldn't stay in Changping County forever.

Bai Yaoshi has always liked Brother Jin next door, and now she doesn't have to worry too much about her son's marriage, but she doesn't know when Yunniang and the others will be willing to let Brother Jin go out.

On the other side, Jiang Zhiyun, who had returned to the courtyard of Li’s house, was sitting under the eaves in a daze. Granny Li went to the yard to fetch things and looked at her and asked strangely, “What are you doing sitting here, my third son? I’m making you angry. ?”

The Li family has three sons and three daughters-in-law, two are diligent and the other is lazy. Needless to say, the lazy one has already been divorced and returned to her natal family. The hardworking ones are Bai Xiuhe and Jiang Zhiyun.

Bai Xiuhe's diligence is the kind that can be seen. When she is not free, she can always find something to do at home.

Jiang Zhiyun's diligence is not so easy to be discovered, because she spends most of her time in the house, either embroidering or thinking about how to embroider.

Based on the old lady Li's understanding of Jiang Zhiyun, she would not just sit under the eaves and do nothing like this, and would hold the soles of her shoes or seam her underwear when she didn't want to use her brain too much and waste her eyes.

Jiang Zhiyun was stunned for a moment after Old Madam Li finished speaking before responding: "Mother, what did you just say?"

Granny Li repeated what she had just said in a good-tempered manner: "I said, what are you doing sitting here, the third child made you angry?"

Jiang Zhiyun's answer was wrong: "Oh, Mr. Xianggong, Mr. Xiang took Kang'er and Mingde out to chop firewood just now."

It's strange, Jiang Zhiyun, who has always been careful, would actually say this, and Mrs. Li took out her hand and shook Jiang Zhiyun in front of her again: "The third family, I didn't ask what the third child was doing when he went out, I was just saying , what happened to you today, I turned around and saw you sitting here in a daze, did the third child provoke you or something?"

Jiang Zhiyun's mind returned, and she blinked when she thought of what she had just answered: "Mom, I...I'm thinking about something."

Old Madam Li asked casually: "What are you thinking about so preoccupied?"

Seeing that she cared about her mother-in-law in front of her, Jiang Zhiyun felt that brother Jin's marriage could be discussed with her mother-in-law in private.

In fact, she has been wondering whether she was influenced by Sister Lan Yue when she agreed to marry Bai Zhiwen. She needs to understand what Bai Zhiwen looks like in other people's eyes. After all, it is related to Jin's life. Don't be careless.

Don't look at Mrs. Li as an old woman from the countryside who doesn't know a single big character, but in Jiang Zhiyun's heart, her mother-in-law is a sensible person. Except for the accident in the second brother's marriage, she managed the Li family well, and her son and grandson also took care of her. All teach well.

"Mother, when I went to see Sister Lanyue just now, Sister Lanyue said that Zhiwen wanted to ask to marry our brother Jin." After saying this, Jiang Zhiyun opened up the conversation box, and she told everything that happened in Bai's house .

Old Madam Li rubbed her wrists and thought for a while, then said: "I think Zhiwen and Brother Jin are a good match. You taught Brother Jin to read since you were a child, so it's just right to marry a scholar."

However, seeing Jiang Zhiyun's hesitant expression, Mrs. Li asked her, "What do you think about the third family? Do you dislike Zhiwen's only mother, or do you think their family is poor now?"

Without giving Jiang Zhiyun a chance to refute, Old Madam Li lowered her voice extremely low, making sure that only the two of them could hear: "Boy Zhiwen is indeed a little less related, but I think, maybe in this way, he and Brother Jin It is more worthy. Think about the blessings that the master granted Jin Geer back then. If Jin Geer is allowed to marry a well-rounded and blessed family, it will be fine. Listen to your mother, God is fair, Don’t always think of getting everything for yourself.”

"You don't have to worry about being poor. Both Bai Yao and Zhiwen are people who know how to live. After Zhiwen is admitted as a scholar, the family will have income. Brother Jin's happy days will come later."

Old Madam Li's previous words were like enlightenment for Jiang Zhiyun to wake up. She has always cared about Brother Jin's fortune. She was worried that Brother Jin's fortune would be too great for the family to suppress, and something unpredictable and terrible would happen in the future. Things, she might not be able to hold on by then.
