Crossing the green wheat ears

After returning from Fucheng, the schoolwork of several children became tense. Mr. Ye wanted them to participate in the children's examination next year.

Originally, Mr. Ye also wanted Xiyuan to participate, but Xiyuan did not agree.Dayan Dynasty attached great importance to scholars. With fame and fame, he could not do business. Xiyuan didn't want to be an official, so he took care of the family's property, so that he could lay a good material foundation for his younger brothers, They have more freedom to develop.

The reason Xiyuan told Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye sighed, he was actually very optimistic about Xiyuan, and thought that as long as he was willing to participate, he would definitely pass the exam. The qualifications are not necessarily worse than the scholars who passed the imperial examination.

It seems that Xichangguan can only go this way, so Mr. Ye has become more strict with Xiyuan, requiring him to complete more homework, making Xiyuan miserable.

However, there was also a happy event during the period, that is, Qiuyang was getting married.

Qiuyang's marriage came unexpectedly.Originally, Qiuyang's family conditions were not good, and there were no daughters in the village who were willing to marry, but now it is different, Qiuyang has become a scholar, and will take part in the imperial examination in the future.

Qiuyang looked soft, but sometimes he had a hard temper. He only said that he wanted to study hard, but he refused all of them.Until the spring of this year, when Qiuyang and Xiyuan went home, they sometimes abducted to my grandfather's house to stay for a while, passing by, coming and going, and being photographed by a family in the village where my grandfather's home lived.

He thought Qiuyang was good-looking, and his character was not bad, but he knew that Qiuyang was a scholar, so he asked Yuzhen and Erya about it because he was afraid that he might not like him.

Yuzhen and Erya are living a very good life now. Erya gave birth to a girl the year before last, and gave birth to a boy again in the first month of this year. Grandpa was so happy from ear to ear. In February, Yuzhen was also pregnant, which made Xi Yuan is more happy, regardless of boys or girls, my uncle has a future.

The two aunts told Xiyuan about each other's intentions, saying that this family is indeed a family that lives by its duty, and the daughter is also able to live well, good-looking, capable, and sensible.

After listening to his aunt, Xiyuan secretly asked his grandfather. He believed in his grandfather's vision. The old man was over 80 years old, with a strong body and no confusion at all. Even Xiyuan was amazed.

Fuhezhuang was not big in the first place, and every family knew each other very well. Grandpa gave a positive answer.

In the old man's words, Qiuyang can't work at first glance, reading is good, life is not necessarily good, ordinary life can't just rely on books to eat, but also has to manage food and drink. Every family has to have a life. Those who can plan carefully and work hard to support the family, the eldest daughter of the Li family can do it since she was a child, helping her parents to take care of her younger siblings, she can't go wrong, she will definitely be able to take care of Qiuyang well in the future, and don't have to worry about living.

Moreover, the little aunt also secretly told Xiyuan that the Li family told them that it was the elders in the family who fell in love with Qiuyang. In fact, it was the eldest daughter of their family who fell in love with Qiuyang. , The family had no choice, so they mentioned it to the grandfather's family. Otherwise, a farmer's family can't find a son-in-law for a daughter based on appearance and whether he is a scholar.

When Xiyuan heard it, he also thought it was good, but after all, Qiuyang was not from his family, so he could only play the role of threading the needle on this matter. Whether he agrees or not depends on Qiuyang's opinion.

Qiuyang is nineteen years old this year, and it will be too late if he decides to get married. Wang Laolan and his wife are very worried, but Qiuyang doesn't talk about it. They can't get rid of their only son, so they can only frown every day, thinking blindly.

Qiuyang heard Xiyuan say this, and smiled shyly, "Xiaoyuan, what do you think?"

Xiyuan: "..." This is not about finding a wife for him, why ask him how he is? "Brother Qiuyang, I think it's okay just from asking, why don't you think about it?"

"That's fine, you say yes." Qiuyang was not ambiguous at all.

Xiyuan: "..." What kind of logic is this!

Because Qiuyang trusted him so much, and because of his attitude of being responsible for Qiuyang's future life, Xiyuan took great pains to investigate and wandered around the grandfather's village for nothing, mainly to find out how the Li family was doing.

Xiyuan passed by the gate of Li's courtyard. Although it was an ordinary farmer's family, the boards in the yard were tidy, neat and clean; Those who crack their teeth all leave this job and immediately pick up another one.

Moreover, Xiyuan took a chance to look at the daughter of the Li family. She looks pretty good in the village, with big eyes, round face, loves to smile, and has a straightforward way of speaking and doing things, which is somewhat similar to Dayan.

Xiyuan looked very pleasing to the eye, and Qiuyang trusted Xiyuan unconditionally, but Xiyuan still found a chance to let Qiuyang take a peek at the eldest daughter of the Li family. Qiuyang blushed at the time, Xiyuan asked him how he was, He just pursed his lips and laughed, well, if there is no objection, it will be regarded as agreement.

Originally, the two families agreed to get married first, and then get married next year, but the Li family did not know where they found out that Qiuyang would take the imperial examination next year, and the elders of Li's family were afraid that Qiuyang would take the exam and look down on their family Daughter, the marriage is getting worse, so I took the initiative to entrust someone, expressing that I want to get married this year, and the dowry can be discussed.

If the woman's family is so active, things will be easy to handle.But Qiuyang's family only had two dilapidated earthen houses that were about to collapse, and they had nowhere to live when they got married.

In the past three years, Qiuyang has saved a few pennies, and Li Laoji and his wife also have some savings, which will be able to build an adobe house. In Xiyuan's mind, he can lend some money to Qiuyang, so that they can build an ordinary three-room house. Brick and tile houses, the money can be paid back slowly later.However, Qiuyang didn't agree with anything, feeling that he borrowed so much money, and he didn't know how to repay it in the Year of the Monkey, so I'm sorry for Xiaoyuan.

Xiyuan couldn't resist him, so he had to compromise, and Qiuyang's family took advantage of the slack season to build three earthen houses, because the woman's family didn't care about the dowry, and the family's money was mainly used for the house.

Although the woman doesn't care about the betrothal gift, she can't make it too shabby here. Xiyuan bought the valuable things that people in the village used as betrothal gifts, and brought them to Qiuyang's house. , don't have to.

In this way, at the beginning of summer, Qiuyang became a relative.

A few from Xiyuan's own family, and Zhuzi Cheng Nan and the others drove their own carriages and ox carts to accompany Qiuyang to greet the bride. This scene was quite grand enough for the farmers. Most of the farmers here get married and have no animals. They walk to meet relatives.

The children are studying in Yansui City, they are the top ones in the generation of Lianhua Village, they dress up and act like people, they are outstanding, they really give Qiuyang a face, originally the Yue family thought that Qiuyang's life was not good, but now they are dismissed this idea.

Cheng Yi presided over the wedding, worship, banquet, and bridal chamber ceremony. He also invited several elders from the village to express the importance that the villagers attached to the Wang family. The Li family was even more satisfied with Qiuyang after seeing it.

After the banquet was over, Xiyuan couldn't do anything else, so he went back to his home to rest. He was a little tired after tossing around for several days.

After falling asleep, Xiyuan got up and sat under the window to read a book.Wei Cheng ran back. Originally, he and Xi Wei were expecting to have a bridal chamber at night, but thinking that his brother was at home by himself, Wei Cheng ran back to take a look.

"Brother, are you asleep?" When Wei Cheng saw Xiyuan's drowsy look, he knew that his brother was just waking up from sleep.

"Well, why didn't you play with Xiaowei and the others?" Xiyuan closed the book.

"I'll go later." Wei Cheng sat next to Xi Yuan, with his head resting on the table. They started helping Qiu Yang a few days ago, and they didn't stop, helping Zhang Luo inside and out.

"Sleepy or not, why don't you sleep for a while?" Wei Cheng led a few children and stayed at Qiuyang's house yesterday. He stayed with Qiuyang at night and didn't come back.

"No need. Brother, Zheng Xuan came here yesterday." Wei Cheng turned his face away and turned to his brother.

"When did I come, why don't I know?" Xi Yuan was surprised.

Wei Cheng: "I didn't come until it was almost dark. They said that I went to Mr. Ye's private school yesterday morning and heard Wang Ye say that Brother Qiuyang got married, so I ran here."

Xiyuan: "It's hard for him to inquire from so far away." Xiyuan is sure that Zheng Xuan has never been to Lianhua Village, and he doesn't know where Qiuyang's family lives.

Wei Cheng: "Brother, you think Zheng Xuan is so weird, brother Qiuyang has to get married the next day, and he just wants brother Qiuyang to sit with him all night! Then he just sat there without saying anything, with a sad face, no one Looking happy, he kept sighing, in the morning, we all waited for Brother Qiuyang, and he hugged Brother Qiuyang and cried."

Xiyuan: "Then how did you react, Brother Qiuyang?"

Wei Cheng: "Brother Qiuyang has such a good temper, how can he react? Keep coaxing Zheng Xuan, and ask him if there is something unhappy, don't hold it in your heart, let everyone find a way to give Come up with an idea and see how to solve it.”

Xiyuan: "..." Qiuyang is also a fool, he doesn't understand why Zheng Xuan is crying at all.

Wei Cheng: "Later, we saw that he was going too far, so we pulled him away. If he hadn't had a good relationship with Brother Qiuyang, we would have wanted to beat him up!" Wei Cheng was still very angry while talking , how can someone get married and run away crying, this is not looking for bad luck.

Xiyuan: "Well, your brother Qiuyang has a good temper, so I won't agree to it, and then he left?"

Wei Cheng: "Yes, before leaving, he took Brother Qiuyang's hand and said, 'I wish I could meet when I was not married.' I think he is confused, and he is not a woman, so why not marry?" Wei Cheng Curling his lips, he felt that Zheng Xuan was a fool.

"Stupid boy." Xiyuan patted Wei Cheng's head, sighed, the Zheng family is rich, and the children got married early. When I met Zheng Xuan, he already had a wife, a concubine and a son. What can he do? !

Even if you didn't marry me back then, given the power of the Zheng family in Yansui, what would they have to contend with the Zheng family?Moreover, seeing how Zheng Xuan behaves like a son-in-law, even if they are together, how long can this kind of love last? Can it last a lifetime?When will he get tired of it and don't like it anymore, will the silly and honest Qiu Yang still be alive? !

Therefore, Xiyuan has never broken Zheng Xuan's mind to Qiuyang. Instead of loving vigorously and getting scarred in the end, it is better to be an ordinary person and live a simple life. Xiyuan has never liked, disapproved, or favored each other who hurt each other famously.

Loving someone requires capital, and if two people want to be together, just having love is not enough.If you can't give each other happiness, why not forget each other in the world, wait quietly, accompany you from afar, and grow old slowly.

"Oh, brother, why do you always say I'm stupid?" Wei Cheng was dissatisfied, he put his head on Xiyuan's shoulder, and rubbed it vigorously a few times, leaving Xiyuan full of melancholy.

"Aren't you stupid?" Seeing Wei Cheng's ignorant look, Xiyuan couldn't help being happy.

"How stupid? You say I'm stupid all the time, you keep saying it all the time, you have to be responsible for calling me stupid someday!" Wei Cheng rolled his elder brother's eyes with his black and white eyes.

"Okay, you're not stupid, our Chengzi is smart." Wei Cheng was happy when he heard that, and gave his brother a silly laugh twice.

"Look, a drunk person always says he's not drunk." Xiyuan scratched Wei Cheng's nose.

"Brother...!" Doesn't that mean he is stupid.
