Lucky husband

Bai Yaoshi and Jiang Zhiyun are quite similar, one is the daughter-in-law of a scholar's family, and the other is the daughter of a scholar's family and the daughter-in-law of a servant.

After knowing that Mr. Zhang used to be the Secretary of the Household Department, Jiang Zhiyun was also quite surprised. Such a big person has lived incognito in Changping County for so many years. No wonder Xianggong said that the county magistrate always went there. Before that, he thought he was just a People like great Confucians from the capital.

Therefore, although Jiang Zhiyun was surprised, she was not as exaggerated as Bai Yaoshi, and after she found out that her mother-in-law was very anxious about this, she quickly comforted her before she could digest her emotions.

First, make sure that the mother-in-law's approach is correct: "Mother, I think you are right, we can use this money if we can, and let Mingde and the others remember Mr. Zhang's kindness in their hearts."

Then he comforted her: "But, I don't think you need to be too nervous. More than 1000 taels of silver is a lot to us, and the amount is indeed large in a small place like ours, but in a place like the capital city, it may be too much if it is thrown into the water. There's not even a single splash."

"Take an ordinary one-entry small courtyard as an example. More than 100 taels of silver is enough to win a courtyard in the county seat. Adding 200 taels more can buy a lot that is not bad in size and location."

"It costs at least 300 taels in Zhoucheng, but I'm afraid the most common small courtyard in Fucheng would cost 600 taels."

"Mother, think about it, the capital city is where the emperor lives. It is said that every inch of land is worth an inch of gold at the feet of the emperor. If it doesn't matter if you enter a small courtyard, you may not be able to buy it with more than 1000 taels."

"Not only the house, but also other things are the same."

……

Jiang Zhiyun's words slowly made Old Madam Li relax, and she thought about it, which seemed to be the reason.

When I was young and had no money, I wanted to break one or two copper coins in half to spend. How could I have imagined that when I was old, I would hold hundreds of taels of silver in my hands.

The children in the family are getting more and more prosperous, and everyone will have more and more money in their hands in the future. She has to raise her horizons, and she must not let others think that Mr. Xiucai or Mr. Juren's milk is a country bumpkin. She has never seen anything before. Let the children be laughed at.

Thinking of this, she stopped being entangled, and concentrated on thinking about the marriage of her eldest grandson, and getting them married as soon as possible so that she can hug her great-grandson is the most important thing.

Therefore, when Li Mingde came back from the Bai family, Mrs. Li had returned to normal.

Seeing Mrs. Li start to prepare for Li Mingde's marriage, Jiang Zhiyun thought of her brother Jin's marriage.

After Jiang Zhiyun and Bai Yao explained before the Chinese New Year, Jiang Zhiyun acquiesced in the fact that the Bai family came to propose marriage after the hospital examination.

It was only because she was worried that after Li Mingjin found out who would be engaged to him, she would secretly go to Bai Zhiwen without telling everyone, and it would affect the other party's college examination, Jiang Zhiyun never told Li Mingjin.

After the results of the hospital examination came out, she immediately went back to the village to help with the running water banquet. She was so busy that she didn't find a chance to talk to her brother.

Counting the days, it will be a few days before Li Mingde gets married, and it will be too late if you don't say anything else, you have to tell brother Jin to make him mentally prepare.

At this time, Jiang Zhiyun suddenly became worried. She herself had been moved by Sister Lan Yue's veiled words about Zhiwen for the past two years, but Brother Jin didn't understand. What about marriage?

Even if Bai Zhiwen is a good match, but Jiang Zhiyun, a mother, must be more partial to her own children. She thinks that Brother Jin's wishes should be the main priority. The two children will live together for the rest of their lives. If Brother Jin Having no idea about Bai Zhiwen, forcing the two of them to form a couple is not necessarily a good thing for Brother Jin.

Now that the college exams are over, Bai Zhiwen has been staying in the village recently. Jiang Zhiyun thought about it and decided to go back to the county and tell Brother Jin about it.

So after having lunch in Shanghe Village, Jiang Zhiyun took Li Mingjin and Li Mingkang back to the county seat in the afternoon.

At this time, Li Mingjin didn't know what news he would hear when he went back, and he was quite unwilling to leave the village.

Because he grew up in Shanghe Village, he has a more sense of belonging to Shanghe Village, and although life in the county is more convenient, the people in the county are not as simple as the people in the village, so Li Mingjin feels more at ease in the village.

However, after living in the county for more than two years, Li Mingjin is gradually getting used to the life in the county. He followed Jiang Zhiyun back to the county without saying anything.

What he didn't expect was that he had a long-lost dream that night when he went back.

The content of the dream is very special. It is not a dream of foretelling, but a dream of recall. The main person in the dream is Bai Zhiwen, followed by himself.

In the dream, when Li Mingjin first appeared beside Bai Zhiwen, it was the day he, his mother, and his younger brother returned to Shanghe Village together, followed behind their mother and son, watching them deal with all kinds of things they had to stay in Shanghe Village. affairs.

It was the first time for Li Mingjin to have this kind of reminiscence dream, and he kept looking down with great interest.

Then soon when the two of them met for the first time, Li Mingjin noticed him, and always felt that he was smiling very silly.

Because compared to Brother Bai who was immature but calm enough in the dream, he just smirked and stared at Brother Bai in a daze. He couldn't remember what he was thinking at that time, it was really embarrassing!

Then the mother and son of the Bai family lived in Shanghe Village. Seeing Bai Zhiwen go up the mountain with a machete and get injured, Li Mingjin felt a little distressed for no reason.

The time in the dream usually passes very quickly, and during that time, their family had to observe their filial piety, and basically stayed in the house without going out, and nothing special happened.

For some reason, in this memory dream, Li Mingjin felt that every time he and Bai Zhiwen met each other or looked at each other intentionally or unintentionally, the clearer moments were because he had also experienced these things.

Soon the dream continued to the part where he, Bai Zhiwen and Li Qiusheng were kidnapped by the Dragon and Tiger Escorts. They were all young back then, and Li Mingjin actually couldn't remember some memories clearly.

When he looked at what happened at that time with the eyes of a bystander, Li Mingjin miraculously recalled all the details of their relationship.

That was almost the first close contact between Li Mingjin and Bai Zhiwen. Li Mingjin couldn't help but want to cover his face when he looked at that time. There were many loopholes in what he said and did back then, that is, the party involved was young. , the other party has a ghost in his heart and dare not get to the bottom of it, so he was not exposed.

After the kidnapping incident, time passed quickly again, until we reached the nearest running water mat.

This memory dream related to Bai Zhiwen started from the three of them appearing in Shanghe Village, and ended with Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingde's running water feast.

What left the deepest impression on Li Mingjin during this period was the change in Bai Zhiwen's eyes when he looked at him, which made him flustered for no reason.

At this time, Li Mingjin belatedly noticed that Big Brother Bai looked at him with different eyes. He couldn't describe the difference, but he could clearly notice the difference when he watched from the sidelines.

Because of the dream, Li Mingjin woke up late again.

Jiang Zhiyun looked at Brother Jin who hadn't come out of the room for a long time, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious in her heart. Every time Brother Jin got up late, it was because he was dreaming. She planned to tell him about his marriage today. Could it be Jin? Will there be problems with Geer and Zhiwen's marriage?

Enduring anxiety and finally waiting for Li Mingjin to wake up, Jiang Zhiyun found it strange that Brother Jin didn't talk to her about the dream immediately, and she also found that Brother Jin was in a daze while eating breakfast.

Li Mingjin's abnormality made Jiang Zhiyun even more nervous. She thought for a while and walked into the main room, and said to Li Mingjin, "Brother Jin, did you have a dream last night?"

Li Mingjin was still thinking about his dreams or about Bai Zhiwen's changes over the years, his mother's appearance startled him, and the cake in his hand fell on the table: "Mom?"

Seeing this, Jiang Zhiyun's premonition became stronger: "Brother Jin, did you, did you have a dream last night?"

"Ah?" Li Mingjin was stunned for a second, seeing his mother's expression was not right, remembered her question, and replied dryly, "I didn't dream, I didn't dream."

The dream Jiang Zhiyun asked must be the kind of prophetic dream. The dream he had last night was recalling the past, and it really wasn't a dream.

But Li Mingjin's attitude obviously made Jiang Zhiyun unbelievable. She looked at Li Mingjin and decided to tell him directly: "Brother Jin, you are going to be sixteen soon. Mother has been looking after you for a long time, but I haven't found a suitable one over the years."

"Years ago, when we went back to the village, my stepmother chatted with your Aunt Bai. Only then did Mother know that Zhiwen wanted to marry you. At that time, your Aunt Bai said that Zhiwen planned to come to our house to propose marriage after he passed the examination of a scholar. At that time, my mother did not object." , now that Zhiwen has passed the examination as a scholar, what do you think?"

"Mother watched Zhiwen Zhiwen grow up. Both your grandma and I think Zhiwen is a good boy. He and your elder brother are still brothers. He is very close to our family. It is very good for our two families to get married."

"But Mother wants to hear your thoughts. If you don't have those thoughts about Zhiwen, then Mother should hurry back to the village and reject Auntie Bai. If you have no objections, then our family should also get ready."

"Brother Jin, mother will not force you to marry anyone. You are the baby that my father and I held in the palms of our hands. Father and mother hope that you will be happy whether you are at home or married."

After speaking, Jiang Zhiyun stroked Li Mingjin's hairy head.

Li Mingjin listened to his mother's words absent-mindedly with his head down, almost a sentence went in and out of his left ear and he didn't hear it.

Jiang Zhiyun looked at Li Mingjin nervously, seeing that he didn't react at all, she couldn't help feeling that things were a little difficult.

After a while, Li Mingjin still didn't answer, Jiang Zhiyun called him again: "Brother Jin, what do you think, tell me, mother, listen."

Who knew that Li Mingjin raised his head and looked at Jiang Zhiyun blankly: "Mom, what am I thinking?"

"Your marriage! Mother asked you if you would like to get married with Wen!" Jiang Zhiyun couldn't hold back and poked Li Mingjin's head, "Brother Jin, did you have a dream last night? You haven't felt right today, what dream is it? ?”

"Who?" Li Mingjin ignored Jiang Zhiyun's last sentence, he felt as if he had heard the words "marriage" and "Bai Zhiwen", and almost jumped up from the stool, his face full of surprise.

Why is there such a big reaction?Jiang Zhiyun frowned and looked at Brother Jin, subconsciously thinking that his reaction might have something to do with his dream last night, but fortunately Li Mingjin didn't have any repulsive emotions in her eyes.

After confirming that Li Mingjin had regained consciousness, Jiang Zhiyun pressed him down, and seriously repeated what she said just now: "No matter what you think, you have to give mother a promise, otherwise after your elder brother gets married to Bai Ting, Ren Zhiwen came to propose marriage and you said you don't want to marry, so how will our two families get along in the future."

Li Mingjin swallowed, if he hadn't had the memory dream of that night last night, he would have refused now, because he was not ready to marry at all, he always felt that he was still very young.

But with last night's dream and what his mother said just now, Li Mingjin suddenly understood the meaning of the way Brother Bai looked at him, which made him very flustered.

Li Mingjin thought, if he refused, would he hurt Brother Bai's heart, and make him not smile so nicely again in the future.

Many scenes flashed through Li Mingjin's mind. When he was still living in the village, Brother Bai would take a look in every time he passed the gate of Li's house while carrying water.

And when I often went out to play with my cousin a few years ago, when I passed by the window of Brother Bai's room, Brother Bai would raise his head when he heard his footsteps.

And when their eyes met, the smile on Big Brother Bai's face and those eyes that seemed to be full of starlight...

These images made Li Mingjin unable to say no.
