Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

Lin Fangxu and his eldest brother went to the Thumb Slope early the next morning. The top of the slope has been surrounded by thorns, the low grass and trees that used to grow inside have been cleared away, and more than half of the pits have been dug, just waiting for the beginning of spring. The tea saplings that have been ordered will be transported and planted.

After wandering around for a while, the two went down the mountain together, going to the uncle's house at noon, and the people in the room wanted to recognize each other with the new husband.

As soon as the two entered the door, they heard Simu's heartbreaking cry. It turned out that Lin's mother saw that Ai Xiaoya didn't get up until noon, so she stuffed Simu into her hand and said, "Simu is full. It's one year old, and you, a mother, haven't seen each other a lot, so let's hug more while you're at home."

Suddenly being stuffed into the arms of a stranger-like mother, Simu was naturally unwilling, and could only protest by crying loudly.

At this time, Zhao Shiyue also came out of the room, seeing the second younger brother and sister awkwardly hugging Simu who was crying loudly, she stepped forward to pick it up, and coaxed: "Okay, okay, just be good and don't cry, wait a minute Let's go see the new aunt."

Lin Fangxu and the others stood at the door of the main room, watching Simu gradually stop crying, leaning on his brother-in-law's shoulder, and shouted aggrievedly: "Mu Hu, Mu Hu..."

Zhao Shiyue patted his little butt with a smile, and said, "You're yelling after my brother, I want to call Bom..."

Father Lin glanced at the crowd and said, "Clean up, let's all go."

A group of people went to the uncle's house, and Ai Xiaoya walked at the end. Looking at the elder brother who was holding Simu in front of him, she frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.

After Lin Fangxu and the others arrived, everyone sat down according to seniority. Lin Fangqicai led the new husband out and kowtowed to the grandpa first. .

When they arrived at Lin's father and Lin's mother, they only had to pay a half salute, and there was no red envelope, just a meeting gift.

At this time, it was the turn of the brothers and sisters of the same generation. Lin Fangqi introduced Yu Youran one by one. Sister Lin Fangxin.

After introducing the first siblings, the eldest brother Lin Fangqin and eldest brother-in-law Zhao, the second cousin Lin Fangya and cousin husband Tian Gang, the second brother Lin Fangming and the second sister-in-law Ai Shi, and the younger cousin Lin Fangxu.

In the end, Mumu and other juniors came forward to pay their respects. The bridegroom took out the prepared meeting gifts and handed them to them in turn. The group went to the side hall, where they divided the male and female seats and ate the kinship recognition wine. The kinship recognition was over. .

After drinking, they were not in a hurry to leave. The men were all sitting in the main room, drinking tea. The uncle called Lin Fangxu's name and asked, "Uncle plans to let your second cousin take part in the provincial examination next year. Although he still lacks It’s not too hot, but it’s okay to try, Brother Xu, do you want to go next year?”

Lin Fangxu replied: "Since brother Qi is going, my nephew will naturally go to try it together."

He Xiucai next to him had already participated in the provincial examination. After listening to him, he volunteered to tell the two about his experience in participating in the provincial examination.

Lin Fangde saw them talking about which topic was the most difficult in the provincial examinations, and which great Confucian had unique insights into the annotations of the Four Books and Five Classics, so he had to drag Tian Gang, who was also a listener, to talk to them. Lin Fangqin discusses planting tea seedlings in spring.

Poor Lin Fangming couldn't get in on either side, so he had to sit there and pretend that he was participating on both sides.

Ai Xiaoya was much more miserable than Lin Fangming at this time. A group of women and husbands sat under the grape arbor, watching the children play.

Lin Fangya saw Simu staggering and running behind her elder brother and sister, and the eldest brother bent over to protect her, and said to Ai Xiaoya who was sitting beside Lin Fangxin laughing, "It's been a year, I don't know how the second sister-in-law Is your health well, Mrs. Zhao has also gone home, is the second sister-in-law planning to bring the child to the county town, or go back to Linjiacun to bring the child herself?"

Ai Xiaoya was talking to Lin Fangxin about interesting things in the county, when someone asked her suddenly, she almost blurted out, since the children are all called the eldest brother-in-law, then give it to the eldest brother-in-law.

Fortunately, she wasn't stupid enough yet, so she pretended: "I'm pretty much fine, but my husband is writing books day and night, and someone has to take care of him. Let's talk about it after I ask him for his opinion."

Mrs. Liu, the sister-in-law of the lobby, smiled and said: "This child, you should take it with you, otherwise you should not kiss me in the future, our brother Bao..."

Lin Fangshu saw that her sister-in-law, who was not clear about what she was carrying, was again soliciting right and wrong, and interrupted her, holding back her anger, and said, "My brother and sister said that the second cousin is writing a book. What kind of book is he writing? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Ai Xiaoya naturally had no choice but to bring up the matter of the child again. When she talked about Lin Fangming's writing of the book, she wisely didn't mention that she told the stories in the book. I drew some clothes styles and sold them to Xiulou.

Maybe it was stimulated by Simu's mother-in-law, or because Lin's mother and Lin Fangya secretly accused themselves of not fulfilling their duty to teach their children. The mother and daughter designed six sets of clothes and won more than 200 silver.

She also mentioned that she plans to open a clothing store in the county, specializing in selling some fashionable clothes. At this time, Ai Xiaoya is eager to prove that she is different from her brother-in-law and Lin Fangya. A feudal woman, husband, she still has her own career and her own pursuit of life.

After she finished speaking, both Mrs. Liu and Lin Fangshu were cheering. Lin Fangya frowned and didn't know what she was thinking, but Lin Fangxin admired her so much that she wanted to see her new painting.

Yu Youran was new here, so naturally she didn't want to mingle with the women, she followed Zhao Shiyue, helped look after the child, and looked at Si Mu who had fallen into the arms of her elder brother-in-law, thinking of her husband's enthusiasm last night, her face became hot.

When the Lin family was resting at night, Zhao Shiyue put Simu who was asleep in Ai Xiaoya's room. Unfortunately, as soon as he put it down, the child woke up and cried loudly. Sleep with me for a few nights, and during the Chinese New Year, you can hug more, it will be fine."

Ai Xiaoya watched the elder brother take the child away, and the child's little hands were still clutching his clothes tightly. It's not sad, but it's not so indifferent. It's similar to the work you should be doing, being done by others After finishing, I will show off the results in front of you.

After Lin Fangming returned to the house, Ai Xiaoya tentatively asked: "Master, you said that there is no family separation. Do you want to hand over the money we got in Honghu Tower to the elder brother?"

Lin Fangming said strangely: "Of course you don't need it. The rules of the Lin family are not so strict. Although the family is not separated, you can still get money from others. Don't you keep the income from the old accountant?"

Ai Xiaoya thought for a while and then said: "Hey..., Simu is also one year old. Some things have to be taken care of by ourselves. We can't always rely on the eldest brother and the others. We must behave like parents."

Seeing Lin Fangming's pensive face, he continued his efforts: "Let's not talk about other things, I can't be a four-year-old, and I can see my father is always being taught by my uncle."

Lin Fangming seemed to have thought of something, and was struggling to make a decision. Ai Xiaoya's heart was raised when he saw that he was like a punctured balloon, and he said discouragedly: "Brother Xu is not married yet, no matter how much you think about it It's useless, for the sake of reputation, it is impossible for the elder brother to agree to split the family."

At this time, he couldn't agree with the elder brother who separated the family. He was staring at his son's luck, holding back for a long time and said, "Why is he still here? Why doesn't he let the second sibling take him with him?"

Zhao Shiyue patted Si Mu on the bed lightly, and whispered, "Cry as soon as I put it down, what can I do?"

Lin Fangqin pulled Zhao Shiyue into his arms, gnawed a couple of mouthfuls, and said angrily, "Tomorrow I will tell them that they are not allowed to go to the county town during the Chinese New Year, and bring their own children!"

After thinking about it, he said: "When brother Xu wins the Juren, let's find a marriage for him. Brother Xu is married, and I have fulfilled my responsibility as a big brother. When the time comes, we will divide the family and no one will care about it." Who is it?"

Zhao Shiyue touched his cheek, kissed his eyebrows, but didn't answer.

After the whole first month was over, Lin Fangming and his wife did not go to the county seat. Ai Xiaoya got together with Lin Fangxin every day to talk about clothes styles, and got to know Simu well. Husband sleeps.

Chinese New Year is the same every year, making rice cakes, setting off firecrackers, eating group dinners, worshiping ancestors, etc. The only difference this year is that Lin Fangxu, three rookies, went to Yizhu Township for their ancestors alone, saying that they hope that their ancestors will bless them and be nominated for the list as soon as possible. .

After the first month, Lin Fangxu set off early to go to the government school. Ai Xiaoya was thinking about her career and wanted to go to the county for a long time, but it was impossible to take Simu with her, let alone leave her in Linjiacun.

Fortunately, at this time, Mrs. Zhao brought her husband Shi Tiancai to find him. It turned out that Shi Tiancai ran away from the business and lost his own money, and also owed some debts. He came to ask if the Lin family still recruited.

Zhao Shiyue naturally also saw that Ai Xiaoya didn't want to take care of her children, and she didn't know what to do. Lin Fangqin wanted to hire someone to grow tea seedlings and prepare to make spring tea, so he was short of a helper.

Mrs. Zhao's arrival was considered a timely rain, so naturally the whole family stayed behind.

Without Ai Xiaoya's instructions, Lin Fangming saw that the child was taken care of, so he got a car the next day, and the two went to the county together.

But it is said that Lin Fangqi also set off for the county school on this day, unlike in the past when he was alone, he took the ox cart of Uncle Chengfu's house and went there.

This time I drove the family's carriage and donkey cart, packed large boxes and small boxes, and most importantly, my husband sat in the carriage.

With the permission of her parents-in-law, Yu Youran went to the county town with Lin Fangqi with her maid and nanny. When getting into the carriage, her husband-in-law kept looking at her and giggling, Yu Youran was very sweet in her heart.

He is sweet, but his sister-in-law is very upset. Since the second brother was selected as a scholar, the parents-in-law have become more partial. It has never been heard that the husband who has just passed the door does not need to serve the parents-in-law, but go to the sidelines to dodge.

In fact, he is more concerned about the fact that the second brother and his wife have both gone to the county seat now. When the parents split up, will they directly distribute the house and shop in the county seat to them?
