Pet wife Imperial Examination Road

Under the scorching sun, the leaves were wilting, and there was no one on the field. A man in black cloth and straw sandals was holding a sickle to put the wheat quickly, and raised his head from time to time to wipe his sweat.

It's still sunny here, but the west side is obviously covered with dark clouds. We have to cut the wheat before it rains, otherwise it will be ruined.

Thinking of this in his heart, Cheng Mu's hands became more agile.

This is not to blame for Cheng Muman, other people's families are all in the battle, and a few acres of land will be over in three to five days.

He was alone in his family, and he didn't even have a food delivery person at noon, so he could only bring some dry food in the morning, and drink water for lunch when he was resting.

The weather was beautiful, Cheng Mu had just harvested two acres of wheat and transported it home, when it started to rain heavily.

"Is anyone there? Is Cheng Mu there?"

Hearing someone shouting outside, Cheng Mu washed his face, wiped it with a sweat towel and went out to look.

Opening the door, it turned out to be a matchmaker Zhang from the village. Cheng Mu hurriedly welcomed her into the house despite the heavy rain.

Matchmaker Zhang looked at the room, it was no different from the last time she came here, just a table, nothing much, how poor Cheng Mu is, he can't bear to part with so many pieces of furniture.

"May I ask what's the matter with you?"

Cheng Mu's old-fashioned appearance displeased Matchmaker Zhang. What kind of girl with this kind of virtue would marry him?

"There is a family in the back mountain who said that they want to marry their daughter, and the bride price is only ten taels of silver. I don't want you to be 25 this year. You are so old in the village that you don't have a wife. I think of you right away."

These days, it usually costs more than 15 taels of silver to marry a wife. If it only costs [-] taels of silver, it might be a bit tricky in the middle. Thinking of this, Cheng Mu frowned.

How could the matchmaker not know what he was thinking? After so many years of marriage, it was the first time she heard that only ten taels of silver was needed as a dowry.

"There's nothing wrong with this person, but her natal family is weak. She said her parents died, and now she is being looked after by her aunt. When she gets older, she wants to find a husband's family to save money at home. Also, I heard that her voice is not very good. The voice is not good."

Whether the voice is good or not is secondary, Cheng Mu is afraid that he is a sick person, if he dies within a few days after arriving, it will be a big loss.

"If I'm not sick, I hope my aunt will take care of me. I can afford to marry a daughter-in-law for ten taels of silver. You know my family's situation. As long as the girl doesn't dislike her, the matchmaker can afford it."

As Cheng Mu said this, he began to think in his heart that the wedding gift plus banquet guests would cost about fourteen to five taels. Fortunately, this year's harvest is good, and selling the wheat for money is almost enough.

When Matchmaker Zhang was about to leave, Cheng Mu didn't forget to stuff a piece of silver into her hand, which made Matchmaker Zhang very happy. This Cheng Mu is usually an idiot, but now he is also on the road, and he happily promised that as long as the girl is willing , this daughter-in-law is married.

Everyone had left for a while, but Cheng Mu still hadn't realized from the sentence that he was married.Since the age of 22, people have tried to match him one after another. The result is either that he has no in-laws at home, and the children are difficult to take care of, or that the dowry cannot be afforded. Now there is a girl with such a low dowry. Cheng Mu secretly promises that when the girl comes, she will be a hundred times better. .

In this way, Cheng Mu felt a lot more relaxed. He felt like his new wife was coming tomorrow. Thinking of this, he hurriedly searched the cabinets to count the money, thinking that when the weather cleared, he would ask the aunts in the village what they needed to arrange.

The sun came out in the evening, and although the road was still muddy, Cheng Mu went to the small shop at the entrance of the village with some broken silver.

The shop at the entrance of the village is the only small shop in the nearest few villages. People in the village usually come here to buy something, and people will go to the town more than ten miles away to buy things that are not in the shop.

When Cheng Mu came to the small shop at the entrance of the village, the sky had cleared up, and there was a large flat rock at the entrance of the village. People in the village usually came here to eat and chat to pass the time when they had nothing to do.

Cheng Mu usually never comes here. He is a big man, and most of the people talking and laughing at the entrance of the village are women, but today is a special case. He bought some halogen dishes from the small shop full of expectations, and came to the stone table in the middle. Put the dishes on the table, and said to the women, "Auntie, Cheng Mu has something to ask for advice today."

Cheng Mu is a typical wooden pile in the village. He usually ignores people when he sees them. Today, a group of women who are so polite picked up cold dishes and ate them and said happily, "Cheng Mu, if you have anything, just ask Auntie, and we will tell you if we know. "

After Cheng Mu heard it, his face turned red, and he hesitated for a long time and said, "Matchmaker Zhang said that she told me about a girl at noon, so I wanted to ask if there is anything I need to prepare."

The Sun family couldn't help laughing when they heard it, "Cheng Mu, you're thinking about your daughter-in-law crazy, you started asking questions before the new daughter-in-law came."

Being told this, Cheng Mu blushed even more. He had never dealt with women before, so he didn't know how to solve this situation.

The daughter-in-law of the Li family next to her just couldn't understand the molesting appearance of the daughter-in-law of the Sun family. It's okay to hook up with others. Cheng Mu is a well-known honest person in the village, and this is too much.

The Li family's daughter-in-law pulled Cheng Mu aside, and said to him secretly, "If you want to know, come to my house tomorrow, and I will find some reliable daughter-in-laws to tell you that there are so many people here, so you may not know what it is like. "

Cheng Mu thanked all the aunts very much and solemnly before going back.

After returning home, it was already dark. He took the leftover steamed buns from the morning and gnawed them up. He drank cold water and lay down on the bed before falling asleep. The air was humid in summer and there were many mosquitoes. After lying down for a while, Cheng Mu felt countless mosquitoes. Mosquitoes buzzed beside him.

He is thick-skinned and thick-skinned, so he is not afraid of mosquitoes. What if the little daughter-in-law comes, it will not look good if she is bitten at night like this at home.Thinking of this, Cheng Mu decided to go to the town to have a look and buy a tent in a few days.

After breakfast the next day, Cheng Mu looked at the sun, went to Li's house in the east of the village, knocked on the door and looked inside from the wall.

After a while, Li's wife beckoned him to come in. As soon as he entered, two children were playing with mud on the ground. He walked around carefully and stood at the door without moving.

"Cheng Mu, hurry up and come in, all the people I greeted are here, so you are the only one missing."

Cheng Mu still stood still at the door, turned his back and said, "Auntie, it's not convenient for me to enter the house as a grown man, so I just stand at the door and listen."

Li's daughter-in-law had no choice but to call out the people in the house, and moved a small bench to sit in the yard for Cheng Mu to sit down.

"But the matchmaker Zhang Matchmaker said?"

Cheng Mu nodded honestly, and Li's daughter-in-law continued, "How much is the dowry?"

"Twelve taels of silver."

Ten taels of silver is really not a lot. When she came here, it was ten taels. Now more than ten years have passed, and it is difficult to give birth to those who can still have ten taels.

"I don't care how people look, as long as they have a good personality, it doesn't matter if there are other flaws."

Several people nodded. Cheng Mu is 25 years old this year, and if he doesn't marry again, it will be even more difficult to find.

"Come on, my aunt will tell you, this girl is here, if you have money, you can buy her some jewelry, if you don't have money, you can pull two bolts of good cloth to make clothes, you can't have nothing, this new daughter-in-law is all for pain. "

Cheng Mu secretly remembered that even if this marriage failed in the end, he still looked forward to it.
