Lucky husband

Bai Yao believed that Bai Zhiwen's illness was cured because of the amulet sent by Li Mingjin. She carefully collected all the ashes in her purse and Bai Zhiwen's body, wrapped it in a piece of oil paper, and muttered After a few words, he was buried devoutly in the yard facing his son.

Bai Zhiwen saw that she was convinced of this, and he loved Brother Jin even more in words, so he didn't persuade him after thinking about it.

It's just that this amulet is indeed a bit strange. He himself doesn't believe in monsters and ghosts, so he had to write down what happened today.

After Bai Yaoshi was busy and completely relieved, she told Bai Ziyi to take care of Bai Zhiwen, and went out with a basket on her shoulders. She went to Li Qiusheng to ask Zhiwen what he could eat recently to replenish his body.

Bai Yao's basket contained about two yuan a catty of bacon tied with a red string. This was a thank-you gift to Li Qiusheng and Xiang Yiyu. Although she had already paid for the consultation fee and medicine, Bai Yao Zhiwen was seriously ill this time, and now that her son is recovering, she only pays money, which she feels is not sincere enough.

After asking what to eat and sending out the bacon, Bai Yao went home and took back the bowls and plates of porridge and pancakes that Li's sent in the morning.

Seeing Mrs. Bai Yao appear at the door, Jiang Zhiyun greeted her with a face full of surprise: "Sister Lanyue, I heard that Zhiwen has woken up and recovered from his illness. This is really a great thing."

Brother Jin's dream said that Bai Zhiwen was going to fall into a coma for several days, but he didn't expect that Bai Zhiwen recovered from his illness not long after Brother Jin sent out the amulet.

She was not sure that the amulet could really work before, even though the amulet had "healed" Jiang Qiming, but now that there is an example of Bai Zhiwen, she can be sure that the amulet that the master gave Brother Jin is really extraordinary.

In addition to being surprised, Jiang Zhiyun was really happy for Bai Yaoshi, she was both a mother, and she could understand Bai Yaoshi's mood.

"Yunniang, I think my family Zhiwen's illness can heal so quickly, thanks to brother Jin who went to see him, and brother Jin also gave him a talisman, this child has a heart." It's hard for Bai Yao to say that the talisman has turned into ashes now, Buried by her in her yard, but she can be thankful for it.

Jiang Zhiyun knew that the amulet was useful, but the amulet was too metaphysical. She didn't attribute the credit to the amulet, but said that Li Qiusheng's medicine and Bai Yao's careful care played a role.

After a few words of politeness to each other, Bai Yaoshi finally revealed the focus of her visit this time. Returning the dishes was a trivial matter. What really made her come back was the marriage between Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingjin.

If you said you wanted to get married with the Li family, it was because her son liked Brother Jin, and because she had a good relationship with Jiang Zhiyun, and Brother Jin was indeed a good brother, knowledgeable in books and etiquette, and matched her family Zhiwen very well.

After the incident with the amulet, Bai Yao felt that Brother Jin might be the man that God had pointed out to her Jia Zhiwen to let Zhiwen survive this calamity, and she wanted to form this marriage even more.

"Yunniang, Mingde of your elder brother's family is going to get married soon. I think both of you are almost ready, and it's just a matter of time before the wedding banquet, and Baitiandi will officially become husband and wife. Tell me, what is the matter between Brother Jin and Zhiwen?" Isn't it time to put it on the agenda?" Bai Yao's voice was very low for the last sentence, she was worried that others would overhear it.

After all, Bai Yao is a woman who came from a scholar's family, so she should be more cautious in doing things if she wants to save face, unlike some rural women who talk about marriage carelessly, she is used to waiting until the two parties have reached an agreement before telling them openly. other people.

Jiang Zhiyun has reached a consensus with Li Mingjin on this matter, and this year she can get married, but the marriage may have to be postponed for another year or two. After all, there is an older sister Li Mingxia who is not married before him, and Li Mingjin himself needs some time to make mental preparations .

Therefore, Jiang Zhiyun nodded and looked at Bai Yaoshi: "It's almost on the agenda, sister Lan Yue, what do you think?"

"That's what I think. The official media will definitely be invited for our two marriages. It's just that we are only engaged this time. There is no need to entertain guests. Why don't we send a small gift to every family in the village to inform everyone of this... "Bai Yao had almost figured out what to do before, and now added and changed some details, and it was also very smooth to say.

Regardless of whether it is engagement or marriage, as long as you really care about the child, the woman or brother's family should be a little bit more careful, and you can't let the in-laws and outsiders look down on your daughter or brother.

So when it comes to engagement and marriage, the man has to do a lot of things. Of course, it’s okay to do more or less of these things, but the more the in-laws do, it means that they have a lot of love for the unmarried daughter-in-law or husband. more attention.

Bai Yaoshi valued this marriage more than before. She came to discuss with Jiang Zhiyun. First, she wanted to express her attitude. Second, getting married is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Not only must they be satisfied, but Jiang Zhiyun and the others must also be satisfied. That's it, let's all be happy together.

After hearing Bai Yao's arrangement, Jiang Zhiyun found that Bai Yao's arrangement was more prestigious and more beautiful than she expected.

Although Bai Yao and Jiang Zhiyun had probably disclosed the amount of the dowry gift when discussing the children's marriage, it was an unmovable amount of money, which was settled when Mrs. Bai Yao was still alive. So Jiang Zhiyun felt that it would be easier to get engaged.

Although she felt that she probably shouldn't have said this, Jiang Zhiyun still couldn't hold back and asked, "Sister Lanyue, Brother Jin and Zhiwen are just engaged, so let's just tell the villagers?"

Bai Yao looked at Jiang Zhiyun who was worried that she didn't have any money, but couldn't explain it clearly, and smiled: "Mother Yun, don't worry, don't look at our mother and son living in poverty these years, it's actually not that difficult, let's The embroidery jobs the two sisters take are about the same, and you know how much I can earn."

"Fortunately, Zhiwen is up to the challenge. He passed the examination of scholar earlier than his father. With his name in front of him, no one dares to look down on us orphans and widows. I don't need to hide my spending money. I'm more open-minded. Let others feel that we are not easy to bully."

In the past, Bai Zhiwen was young and didn't have any fame. Even if people from the same village and ethnic group took care of them, she was always planning to live because she was not sure if someone would be thinking about it.

Now that Bai Zhiwen has passed the examination of a scholar, although he still has to continue his studies, he has the money and rice grains that the court rewards his students. If there is no special event, he does not need to spend too much money from his family, and he can basically satisfy his needs. self-sufficient.

Therefore, when Bai Yao lavished ten taels of silver to organize the running water banquet, she didn't slap her swollen face to pretend to be fat, but she really had a plan in mind, so she dared to do so.

Of course, before Bai Zhiwen was admitted as a scholar, Bai Yao didn't dare to spend more money even if she had money in her hands. She had to save the money, and if there was any place to use the money all of a sudden, their family would be able to afford it Come.

Jiang Zhiyun understood what Bai Yao meant. Her natal brother was also a scholar. He knew the benefits of being a scholar, and knew that both Bai Zhiwen and Bai Yao could make money, so she stopped trying to persuade her.

After the two discussed some small details of the engagement, Bai Yao happily went home to make lunch for Bai Zhiwen. His son's body was not fully recovered yet, and the most urgent thing was to get him well soon.

Li Mingjin hid in the room when Bai Yao came over, listening to Aunt Bai discussing things with his mother, her ears turned red slightly, and she always felt a little embarrassed.

When Jiang Zhiyun walked into his room, she saw Li Mingjin sitting under the window with a book, as if he was reading the book seriously.

Walking over to take a look, she found that the child was holding a book he least liked to read. Jiang Zhiyun suppressed a smile and asked him: "Brother Jin, why are you reading rhymes?"

The pairing rhyme is "Li Weng Couplet Rhyme", which is an introductory book on rhythm and belongs to one of the Thirteen Classics of Enlightenment.

This book was prepared for Li Mingkang. If he wanted to study and take the imperial examination, he had to pass the rhythm of poetry. He couldn't compose poetry.

"I..." Li Mingjin glanced down at the content of the book, and quickly made up a reason, "I saw Kang Er was studying "Enlightenment of the Rhythm" before, as a brother, I can't fall behind him, so I just read it first If he has any doubts about this book, I, as an older brother, can help him clear it up."

Knowing that he was talking nonsense, Jiang Zhiyun didn't expose it, she just stepped forward and asked to remove the book whose edges were crumpled by Li Mingjin, so as not to let him spoil a good book.

Then, Jiang Zhiyun sat aside and asked him: "Did you hear what my mother and your Auntie Bai said just now? Is there anything you want to mention? Your elder brother is getting married soon. If there is anything to say, it is too late to prepare."

Jiang Zhiyun and Bai Yaoshi have the same thinking, getting married only once in a lifetime, she wants to do the best for her children within her ability, without leaving any regrets.

Li Mingjin hadn't had much contact with things like marriage before. He didn't know what to do, not to mention that he was still a little shy now. Thinking of what he said when he ran to Bai Zhiwen this morning, he felt his face burning. I was in a panic, but fortunately, Bai Zhiwen should have fallen asleep and didn't hear it.

Seeing that Li Mingjin didn't really want to talk about this topic, Jiang Zhiyun didn't let him do it like before, and pulled Li Mingjin to explain the rules of engagement carefully before letting him go.

"Mother, it's so troublesome." Li Mingjin couldn't help complaining.

Li Mingjin has a bright temper, and it takes a lot of thought to deal with these matters, just listening to them makes him feel dizzy, if he is allowed to handle all these human relations in the future, he is worried that he will screw up.

It is rare for Jiang Zhiyun to put on a serious face towards Li Mingjin: "Of course you will find it difficult if you are not familiar with it at the beginning, but after you have seen a lot and become comfortable with it, you will find it very simple. Do it together with you, you learn more, don't try to be lazy!"

In the past, she paid more attention to teaching Li Mingjin to understand the deep meaning behind seemingly simple words and deeds, and she seldom talked about gifts and gifts.

Sophistication of the world is a university question, which includes as much as reading and learning. How many people can't understand it when they get old, and spend their lives in a daze. Jiang Zhiyun doesn't expect Li Mingjin to become a good person, but she can't understand it.

After saying something harsh, Jiang Zhiyun's tone softened: "Brother Jin, don't worry so much, it's still early for you to be on your own. Mother will teach you before you get married. After you get married, Aunt Bai will be your mother. For decoration, she will definitely teach you."

This is a big truth. As long as there is no family separation, the mother-in-law is the vast majority who are in charge of the affairs of a family. There is only Bai Zhiwen in the Bai family. There is no such thing as a separate family. After Bai Ziyi gets married, Bai Yaoshi will definitely live with Bai Zhiwen all the time. Even if Li Mingjin wants to be the master of the house, he probably won't have any chance in the past ten or twenty years.

Although there may still be conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as long as Brother Jin does what he should do and Bai Yao doesn't intentionally criticize, on the premise that they all hope that Bai Zhiwen will live well, their life will be smooth. Live tit for tat, chicken and dog jumping.

In fact, like some families with many people, most of the conflicts come from the fact that the headed mother-in-law does not have a bowl of water. Everyone has selfishness, and the sisters-in-law and brothers are more concerned about their own small family.

Don't worry about scarcity but inequality, so many rifts arise because of this. The Bai family has a simple population, and there is basically no such problem of "inequity", which is very suitable for Brother Jin's relatively simple personality.
