"Wen Shou, don't help your cousin move things over there." Aunt Tian said.

"Hey, mother, I'll go right away." Wu Wenshou responded.He tried his best to free his arm, "Auntie, my mother asked me to carry the box, please let me go first."

"You child, why are you so shy with your aunt? I hugged you when I was a child!" Meng Hongzhen let go of Wu Wenshou after saying this.

Wu Wenshou flew to the side of Wu Xuan as if fleeing, "Brother Hall, let's go to your house."

Both of them had great strength, and each carried two boxes and went to the next door.

Meng Hongzhen boasted: "Wen Shou is really strong, tall, and strong. No wonder the Yang family fell in love with him. Let me tell you, marrying Yuan Yang's family is a good marriage that can't be found even with a lantern. "

Aunt Tian asked: "His family entrusted you to come and kiss?"

"Yes." Meng Hongzhen looked like you took advantage of it, "Such a good marriage, once I heard about it, I wished I could agree to it for you."

Aunt Tian pouted secretly, noncommittal.She is also from the Yang family village, what situation does she not know about Yang's family?

Yang Bingjian has considered himself a scholar since he was a child student, and he spends all day putting on airs in the village.He often invites friends to hold banquets to talk about poetry and prose, which looks very beautiful on the outside.

But in fact, he has been relying on the money of his ancestors and living off the rent in the fields.Occasionally, if it is not enough for flowers, one or two acres of land will be sold.

However, she had never seen Yang Yuanwai's daughter.

Aunt Tian asked, "How is the girl of the Yang family?"

"Mr. Yang's daughter is naturally of excellent character." Meng Hongzhen praised: "The girl from the Yang family is named Wan'er. She is a well-educated girl who is beautiful and intelligent. She looks like a lady from a rich family, and an ordinary village girl. Not the same."

After complimenting Yang Wan'er was not enough, Meng Hongzhen continued: "Yang Wan'er also has an older brother named Yang Xiuzhu, who has already passed the Tongsheng exam this year. Originally, a scholar can also pass the exam, but it is a pity that he suddenly caught a cold the day before the college exam—"

"Hey, although I haven't passed the college exam this year, next year is the year of the scientific exam and there will be another college exam. He is likely to pass the college exam and become a scholar in one go. Next year will still be called, oh, the imperial examination will be in the same year. Next year's A scholar will be able to pass the exams in the next year, and a Jinshi in the next year. Think about it, if you pass the exams like this, you will be able to win the gold list in three years!"

Meng Hongzhen patted her thigh excitedly: "Think about it, having a master Jinshi as a relative, how decent it is to say it. Your family can usher in such a daughter-in-law, it is really an honor for the ancestors."

Aunt Tian was not overwhelmed by Meng Hongzhen's hype and praise.Jinshi is so easy to take the exam, she has never seen a living Jinshi master in her life.It is not so easy to say that you are a scholar, let alone a Jinshi.Yang Yuanwai has been in the exam all his life, isn't he still an old boy.

Then Yang Xiuzhu, who knows if he will pass the exam next year?

Of course, even if someone doesn't pass the examination as a scholar, he is still Master Tongsheng, a respected scholar.So Aunt Tian didn't dare to say anything critical, but said: "Don't talk about other people, tell me about the girl from the Yang family, how is the girl, is she in good health?"

"She is a talented woman who can read, what do you want to be strong!" Meng Hongzhen's face was full of disbelief: "You still want Miss Yang to grind tofu for you?"

"Why can't it work?" Aunt Tian asked back, "My family sells tofu, and the daughter-in-law I marry in the future will naturally make tofu with me."

Meng Hongzhen felt that Aunt Tian felt incredible.She said: "The girl from the Yang family is a well-known talented woman in the village. Their hands are used for writing and painting. How can they do such rough work?"

"Since she is a talented girl, and her father and brother are both scholars, why don't she marry a scholar, but marry my family?" Aunt Tian asked.

"Of course it's because we've found Wenshou." Meng Hongzhen continued to persuade with a proud expression, "Sister-in-law, why are you still hesitating for such a good offer? After passing this village, there will be no such shop. If people liked those two boys from my family, I would have happily agreed."

Aunt Tian thought for a while, and said, "I don't think it's suitable. Wen Shou can just find an ordinary girl."

Some things seem like pie in the sky, but if they are not complete, they are stepping on a trap.

Meng Hongzhen couldn't believe that Aunt Tian refused. She said, "What do you think? You don't want such an excellent girl from the Yang family. You insist on finding a bad one for your son! You are Wenshou's biological mother, not a stepmother!"

It is precisely because she is her own mother that she has to think more comprehensively.Aunt Tian said: "Marry a daughter from a high family, and marry a daughter-in-law from a low family. The old saying can never be wrong."

She didn't expect Wu Wenshou to achieve much, nor did she expect Wu Wenshou to marry a good wife.She only has this one son, and she only hopes that his son will live out his life in peace, and she does not seek the best in everything, but only wants to be safe.

What's more, Wu Datian's lineage of several generations is not rich in heirs.Rather than marrying a daughter-in-law who can study, she wants to marry Wu Wenshou a strong daughter-in-law and have more children.

Of course, Aunt Tian can't directly say that she doesn't like the girl of the Yang family, she said euphemistically: "She is so good, we can't afford it."

Meng Hongzhen didn't understand Aunt Tian's meaning, and thought she refused because of her low self-esteem, and said, "Sister-in-law, it's narrow-minded for you to think so. Since Yuanwai entrusted me, he must be satisfied with your family."

Aunt Tian didn't answer.

Seeing Aunt Tian's resolute attitude, Meng Hongzhen had no choice but to take a step back and said, "Well, don't just refuse directly. You should discuss it with Datian and Wenshou first, and see what they mean. And it's not the previous court now. , You need to sign a marriage certificate when you get married. The opinions of the children are also very important."

Aunt Tian nodded: "Okay, Da Tian just came back tonight, I will discuss it with him." After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked to the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, the tofu in the pot is almost ready, I will serve you a bowl of tofu curd. You can eat sweets. Is it salty or salty?"

"Don't bother." Meng Hongzhen also stood up immediately, "Go and do your work, I'll be back first."

Aunt Tian didn't keep any guests either, but said apologetically, "Someone has ordered the tofu for the afternoon, so I have to deliver it early. Next time, I'll keep sister-in-law for dinner."

Meng Hongzhen said, "Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow."

-

When Wu Datian came back in the evening, Aunt Tian told him everything and asked, "What do you think?"

"Then why did the Yang family see our family?" Wu Datian was puzzled.

Aunt Tian said: "This is what I don't understand. Maybe it's because you opened a shop in the city?"

"My shop is rented, and I can't make much money." Wu Datian said.His shop seems to be in good business, but the profit from selling tofu is meager, which is hard money.Much of that money also went into rent.

"Maybe others don't know, and think that the shop is yours." Aunt Tian guessed.

Wu Datian scratched his head and said, "No way!"

What the two of them didn't expect was that Aunt Tian had indeed guessed part of the reason.

When Yang Wan'er first heard that she fell in love with Wu Wenshou, Yang Yuanwai disagreed.But Yang Wan'er said that Wu Wenshou's family has a shop in the county, and he is the only son of the family, so the shop will definitely be his in the future.Only then did Yang Yuanwai reluctantly agree.

Of course, the most important reason why he agreed was that Yang Wan'er was so entangled that he couldn't help it.This daughter has been arrogant and willful since she was a child, and she must do whatever she wants.

Member Yang gets angry when he thinks about what happened yesterday.

Yesterday morning he went to a friend's house for a banquet, and when he got home after drinking and eating, he heard that Wu Wenshou had come to deliver tofu, but Yang Wan'er blocked him in the kitchen.

He hurried over to release Wu Wenshou.

Yang Wan'er also cried to him, saying that she wanted to marry Wu Wenshou because she fell in love with him.Member Yang was so pissed off by her that he asked her where she fell in love with Wu Wenshou.

Yang Wan'er unexpectedly said: "I just like such a strong, tall and mighty man. I don't want to marry a scholar like my brother, who can't lift his shoulders or lift his hands."

Yang Wan'er often reads some Fengyue story books, and knows that it is better for men to be more powerful.But her father only showed her some scholars, they were all thin and weak like her brother Yang Xiuzhu, so she didn't like them.

So she called Wu Wenshou over in the name of Yang Yuanwai, intending to tell him that she had a crush on him and asked him to propose marriage quickly.

As a result, he just said a few words to cultivate feelings, and before getting to the point, Yang Yuanwai came back.

Member Yang felt that Yang Wan'er was simply unreasonable.But he only has one pair of children, and he dotes on both children, especially this daughter who likes to be coquettish and obedient.

Since his daughter wanted to marry so much, and Wu Wenshou's family was well-off, Yuanwai Yang reluctantly agreed and asked his wife, Mrs. Liu, to find someone to go to the man's house to find out.

This is how Meng Hongzhen went to Wujia Village.

-

However, when Meng Hongzhen came back from Wujiacun to report the situation to Yuan Wai's house, the Yang family suddenly exploded with anger.

Yang Yuanwai dropped the teacup in his hand with a "bang--".

Mrs. Liu also said angrily: "His family wants to think about it again?" Generally, when talking about kissing, everyone is afraid of face and will not say it dead, and the expression is more tactful, so reconsidering means that they are not happy.

Meng Hongzhen hurried to make amends: "My sister-in-law, her whole family has mud legs, she is afraid that she will not be able to climb up to your girl."

After hearing this, the Yang family felt a little more at ease.Liu said: "You tell the Wu family, we don't mind his family background, as long as we treat Wan'er well, everything is easy to talk about."

"I've already said, let her discuss it with her family. I'll come over tomorrow and ask you about the result." Meng Hongzhen was very attentive.The Yang family promised her a red envelope of [-] Wen, she naturally hoped that the matter would be done as soon as possible and the red envelope would be available sooner.

After Meng Hongzhen left, Mrs. Liu murmured, "My eyelids are twitching, and I always feel that something bad happened."

Yang Yuanwai rarely scolded her for being an ignorant woman, and echoed: "I don't think so too. Besides, the name 'Wu Wenshou' always looks familiar to me, as if I've seen something similar somewhere."

"Wu Wenshou often comes to the village to sell tofu. It's normal for you to have heard his name," Liu said.

"No, everyone in the village calls him a tofu seller. This is the first time I know his name." Yang Yuanwai retorted.

"Ninety percent of the people in Wujia Village have the surname 'Wu', and it's normal for you to have seen other similar names." Liu continued.

Yang Yuanwai thought for a while, but couldn't think of it, so he simply gave up and said, "Maybe!"
