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

As the sun sets, at the entrance of the fields and villages, there are all returning home. The soy milk on the stove has condensed into lumps, delicate and tender, as white as nephrite jade.

The tender bean curd needs to be scooped into a square wooden box covered with fine cotton cloth, covered with cotton cloth, put on a wooden board and other heavy objects to squeeze slowly, squeeze out some water, and make tofu cubes for better preservation.

Jiang Shiyun naturally didn't know this kind of high-tech kitchen skills, but he couldn't bear the child's curiosity, so when Lin Fangqin came home, he saw Lin's mother taking Zhao Shiyue and Zhao Niangzi in the kitchen scooping and pressing. , and a few people gathered around to watch.

Busy people don't have time to pay attention to the "powerful" head of the family. Lin Fangqin didn't bother, and only called the two idlers who were standing at the outermost periphery, eating melon seeds and doing nothing.

Lin Fangqin went to the county seat early this morning to send some New Year's goods to his father-in-law and his mother-in-law. At the same time, he inquired about the news. When his younger brother returned to Linjiacun, he either took his fiancé to wander around, or followed Lin Fangqi to spend time. He forgot about his errand as an inspector, and when he really got up, Lin Fangqin, the eldest brother, was very worried.

Seeing his elder brother's serious look, Lin Fangxu could probably guess what was the reason, and he didn't rush to ask, he was very calm.

Lin Fangqi, however, was excited that the eldest brother had called him, and he could finally participate in the discussion of important events in the clan. It was not easy!

The worried future patriarch, seeing the completely different expressions of his cousin and his own brother, first said to the one who was more excited: "Brother Qi, when you go back, explain to my uncle for me, and I have found out what he asked me to inquire about. On the ninth day, Wang Xiucai did not plan to take Zhang Sheng with him, but met him by chance on the way, and it was difficult to refuse, so he finally went with him."

"Ah...? Oh, oh! I will remember to tell my father." After Lin Fangqi realized it, he nodded his head to reassure him, but he was a little disappointed in his heart, thinking he was going to say something?

But judging from the few words that the lobby brother said, no matter whether Zhang Sheng was intentional or unintentional, at least Wang Xiucai is not so sticky. It is estimated that Dad still intends to betroth the younger sister to him, so it is not I know how my little sister will cry when she finds out.

After explaining to Lin Fangqi, Lin Fangqin turned his head to tell Lin Fangxu what he had found out, and asked, "It is said that His Royal Highness has already left for Ningbo. When does Brother Xu plan to leave?"

It's already set off, and it's even later than Lin Fangxu expected. It seems that His Royal Highness has done a lot of things in Hangzhou?

But none of this has much to do with him. Lin Fangxu has always recognized his position. Even if he has to live again, he has no capital.

Knowing that the crown prince might have arrived in Ningbo at this time, Lin Fangxu didn't care too much, and just replied: "Let's leave after the New Year, and don't be in a hurry. After all, my errands are not too important."

After hearing what he said, Lin Fangqin didn't ask any more questions, and Lin Fangqi didn't have that kind of thought. Now he was only worried about what kind of storm would break out at home after he went home and told his father.

As soon as he got home, Lin Fangqi told his father about the news his cousin had inquired about. After a while, his father and mother entered the little sister's room. No one else knew what he said, only heard Little sister's crying.

As a good brother of a friendly brother and sister, Lin Fangqi worried about his little sister all night, fearing that she would be overwhelmed.

As a result, the next day, his little sister stopped messing around, and was willing to eat, drink, and go out of the room. Although she didn't see a smiling face all day, Lin Fangqi was relieved, and sighed to her husband in private: "Little sister is finally no longer stubborn, just figure it out!"

Yu Youran glanced at her sister-in-law who was pale and haggard, with dull eyes, and felt pity in her heart. She might have figured it out, or gave up. After all, her mother went to the county seat early in the morning, probably to discuss the engagement with the Wang family.

But pity belongs to pity, Yu Youran actually disapproved of her sister-in-law marrying Zhang Sheng, not to mention the bad reputation, just like Zhang Sheng, I am afraid that he is also a utilitarian and hypocritical person.

The matter of Lin Fangqi's family is closed

No one knew about it, even Lin Fangxu, his own cousin, didn't want to inquire about it, he would rather take Xiaoyun to go fishing.

After watching Jiang Shiyun drying glutinous rice flour dumplings and making fermented bean curd, Lin Fangxu found an opportunity to take him to dig earthworms. Unfortunately, the little brother in the capital camp is not afraid of earthworms, but thinks the worms are disgusting.

So on the ridge of the big fish pond in Grandpa Six's house, I saw this scene. Lin Fangxu stood next to Jiang Shiyun with a fishing rod in one hand and a small pottery pot in the other. There was still a ball of dark soil in the pottery pot, and there were earthworms in it. Drilling in and out of the soil.

Jiang Shiyun saw that he was about to sit down next to him, jumped up immediately, and said in surprise: "Get them away quickly, remove them quickly...the insects look so disgusting! How about you sit over and don't touch me, Do you also smell of bugs?!"

Lin Fangxu looked at him helplessly, had no choice but to put the clay pot a few steps away, turned around and came back, and still couldn't help persuading him: "Xiaoyun, why don't I hang an earthworm for you, you put it on the fishhook. A steamed bun can’t attract big fish, let alone your steamed bun is still floating on the water.”

Thinking of the stinky and dirty bug, Jiang Shiyun refused in his heart, pouted his neck and said stiffly: "Jiang Taigong can fish with a straight hook, why can't steamed buns, and besides, how do you know that fish are not vegetarian?"

Lin Fangxu doesn't know if the fish eat vegetarian or not, but he can be sure that even if they are vegetarian, no fish has a mouth as big as that of a steamed bun.

Sure enough..., I saw the big and small fish gnawing around the steamed bun unscrupulously. After a while, the steamed bun was dragged aside by a group of fish, but the hook was still in place.

Jiang Shiyun looked at the empty hook with no expression on his face. Lin Fangxu held back his smile and continued to persuade: "Xiaoyun, do you really don't want earthworms? I'll give it to you after hanging it over there. Just don't look at it." .”

You look like you're going to smile or not, don't think I don't know what you're thinking!Unconvinced, Jiang Shiyun stood up, waved the fishing rod with his arm, flicked the fishing line vigorously, and the fishhook caught the steamed bun in the distance again.

Lin Fangxu watched in amazement as he snatched the steamed bun from the fish. While burying the fishhook in the steamed bun, he muttered indignantly: "Huh...! No one will try to snatch my stuff! I will definitely Fishing."

"Hahaha...", Lin Fangxu laughed so hard that he shook his fishing rod in his hand, so cute! Why is he so childish, so cute that people want to get into his arms, rub his hair, and kiss his face.

It's a pity that he was destined to fail, because Jiang Shiyun was about to go to another place with the fishing rod, and when he left, he didn't forget to tell him: "You stay here, and I'll go there. We can't be together, or the fish will eat us." I'm sure you won't eat my steamed buns because of your meatiness."

That's right... Who wants to be vegetarian after eating meat? It makes sense, but Lin Fangxu couldn't refute it. He could only watch helplessly as he went to a place far away from him, and threw the steamed bun into the water solemnly. .

In the end, neither of the two caught fish. The reason was that the sixth grandfather personally brought people to open the fish pond and released the water in advance after knowing that the two were fishing.

After Lin Chong and Lin Fangyuan returned to Linjiacun, they didn't have to stay by Lin Fangxu's side every day, and they went home. At this time, Lin Chong got the order of the sixth grandfather, waved the hoe, and dug the embankment. up.

When the water was pouring out, the other people standing by quickly blocked the gap with bamboo rafts to prevent the fish from running out.

Lin Fangxu and Lin Fangxu had already put away their poles, and the sixth grandfather was pointing at Lin Fangxu's name and said: "Fortunately, Brother Xu is still the number one scholar, there is no reason to entertain guests to eat fish, but to ask guests to fish by themselves. It's too negligent. There’s no such thing as hospitality.”

Jiang Shiyun was a little embarrassed when he heard it, but fortunately, the sixth grandfather walked away after a few words of reprimand. Lin Fangxu didn't seem to care too much, and even made faces at him behind his back.

It was already noon when the water in the fish pond dropped to knee height. The villagers must have been notified by the sixth grandpa, and every household brought wooden barrels containing fish and gathered by the fish pond.

All the fish used for Chinese New Year in the village come from the fish pond of Grandpa Six’s house. Grandpa Six only collects a few tokens, which is no different from giving them away. Ask for more.

Whoever wants to catch more for cheap, give them away or resell them, let others know, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold up their heads in the village, and it is estimated that not many people will be willing to associate with you in the future. Being alone is a terrible thing.

Although the sky was fine and the sun was shining brightly, the temperature was not high. The water in the fish pond was still terribly cold, and the people who went down to catch fish were all hot-tempered young men.

Let’s not talk about the difference between brothers and sisters, just rushing into the fish pond water with stiff feet, Lin Fangxu resolutely refused to let Jiang Shiyun, who was eager to try, come down, and only let him carry a small bucket, Mu Mu and his cousin husband together, touch the fish by the side of the fish pond. With some clam shells and shrimps, he, Ermu and Brother Qi carried the net bag and went into the water together.

The status of champion man is not very useful in catching fish. With the help of his clan brother, Lin Fangxu still let the big red-tailed carp run away from his feet, and he was stumbled by it, which angered the elders watching on the shore A good laugh.

When Lin Fangxu stood firm, the red carp had already fled away. It seemed that these people would have nothing to do with it, and they swam out of the water to take a look from time to time. Of course, it is also possible that the water has been too muddy, and the fish also need to swim out to take a breath.

During the Chinese New Year, there was a big red carp, what a prize, no one was willing to release it, just when Lin Fangxu was discussing with several clan brothers how to encircle him, he heard a "咻", the red carp that had just probed was used by Jiang Shiyun A crayfish hit, turned belly up and lay on the water.

Seeing the red carp floating on the water, everyone was silent for a while in amazement. The children were the first to react, and they gave a neat "wow" and looked at Jiang Shiyun with admiration.

Lin Fangxu quickly picked up the fish, thinking it was dead, but when he threw it into the net bag, he struggled again. Did he just faint for a while?

Seeing the red carp struggling fiercely in the net bag, Grandpa Six raised his thumb to Jiang Shiyun seriously, and praised: "Good skill! Good strength!"

"Hahaha……"

Jiang Shiyun was embarrassed by the laughter of the elders, and hid behind Yu Youran embarrassedly, looking at Lin Fangxu who was doting on him with a doting smile, and stuck out his tongue quietly.
