Ye Qingzhi didn't know what Zhang Mu and Qingmei said, but in the end, Qingmei nodded and agreed to marry Zhang Mu, which was the best result. He was a cousin, so he had to help with everything.

Although Zhang Mu and Qingmei have no elders, they still have what they should have, otherwise what would happen if they had no matchmaker and no employment.

Zhang Mu saved some silver by himself, so he would buy the dowry himself, but Ye Qingzhi refused to let him pay Qingmei's dowry.

"Brother Mei is also a member of my family, and she has to go out from my house, how can she not have a dowry." Ye Qingzhi said with a smile.

A set of silver noodles cost about 30 taels of silver, and then I bought two bolts of cotton cloth, made two sets of clothes and two quilts, Ye Qingzhi thought about it, and asked someone to make a cabinet and a bed. That said, it's definitely rare.

Seeing these things, Qingmei couldn't help but her eyes turned red, she didn't expect that someone she just knew would buy him such a dowry.

The things I bought were ready-made, but they were ready in seven days, and the wedding was held at the end of the year.

Zhang Mu still has some money in his hand, but it is a long way from buying a house in the county, but it is fine in the countryside.

Ye Qingzhi thought for a while, then sold Cheng Hui's house in Chenjia Village to him for a nominal fee of five taels of silver, and gave him all the things in the house.

Before Zhang Mu returned to Lingnan Village, he found Cheng Hui and wanted to buy his land in Chenjia Village at the market price, but they spent some money on getting married and buying a house this time, and they couldn't get the full amount at once, so they planned to pay part of it first.

"What are your plans when you go back?" Ye Qingzhi asked with a smile as he returned Qingmei's contract of sale to him.

"Zhang Mu has studied medicine, and he plans to help people with minor ailments in the countryside. In his spare time, he goes to the mountains to collect medicines to subsidize his family. He still has a few acres of land, so he won't starve to death." Qingmei, who had only been married for a few days, had a rosy complexion, and she hadn't seen her before. It is not difficult to see that he is doing well now.

Ye Qingzhi nodded, life is made by people, what they can do to help is already the limit, the rest is up to them.

When the weather warmed up, Xiaoshu was one year old. Ye Qingzhi helped him to walk, feeling filled with emotion. Who would have thought that he would have a child of his own, and he would give birth to it himself.

"Qingzhi, what do you think of these names?" Cheng Hui ran in from the outside and asked happily.

No matter what time it is, naming a name is a big deal. After all, it is a matter of a lifetime. It is usually chosen by the elders. If there are no elders, then the father will choose it. Unfortunately, Cheng Hui's naming skills are really poor. Ye Qingzhi himself chose a few words and found that It's not very good, so it has been delayed until now.

"Cheng Jingyu? Cheng Jingbai? Cheng Jingsong? Who helped get them?" It's not that Ye Qingzhi looked down on Cheng Hui. He had chosen a dozen or so names before, but none of them sounded good. Today they are all good.

"I found a person in the city who specializes in naming. He tested it and said that the small tree was missing wood, so it was necessary to include wood in the name. No, I chose a few, which one do you think is better?" Cheng Hui asked.

"Jingbai is not bad." Ye Qingzhi looked at the names and chose one.

Cheng Hui nodded and agreed without the slightest hesitation, "Okay, then Jingbai." In this way, at the first birthday, Xiaoshu finally got a name, and only waited for the next time he returned to the village to ask the patriarch to add Jingbai's name to the family tree.

In contrast, Brother Jin is also one year older. The younger brothers in this world have replaced women, but they have a little more freedom than women. Most cities have academies dedicated to teaching brothers.

At Brother Jin's age, it's just right to go to school.

There are two brothers' colleges in Qinghe City. Ye Qingzhi specifically inquired about them. The one in the north of the city will teach reading, literacy and embroidery. It costs five taels of silver a year, and students bring their own supplies.

The Qingyuan in the east of the city not only teaches reading and literacy, but also teaches piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette, embroidery and cooking. It seems that when they are old, they will also teach some knowledge about housekeeping and financial management. The college will help prepare the things students need , without the trouble of the elders in the family, of course, the tuition fee will not be low, it costs 50 taels a year, which is ten times that of the college in the north of the city.

After in-depth understanding, Ye Qingzhi directly chose Qingyuan. As brother Jin, it is always good to learn more from him.

"Choose Qingyuan?" Cheng Hui was surprised when he saw the registration form.

He didn't suspect that Ye Qingzhi treated Brother Jin badly, but he didn't expect him to be so generous, 50 taels a year, and 500 taels in ten years, definitely not a small sum.

Ordinarily, brother Jin is not Ye Qingzhi's biological son, but also a younger brother. For people like them, it would be good if they can go to college, let alone a college like Qingyuan.

"Well, I've inquired about this academy, and besides teaching talent, it's also called a human being, which is very good." Ye Qingzhi glanced at Cheng Hui, "It's not unreasonable to say that the poor raise the boy and the rich raise the elder. "

Brother Jin knew that he was going to school, so he couldn't be happier. He got up early the next day, put on Ye Qingzhi's new clothes and his new schoolbag, and jumped to Ye Qingzhi's door.

"Yo, whose handsome little brother is this?" Ye Qingzhi also got up early, and just as he combed his hair, he saw Brother Jin come into the room and made a joke.

"Ah." Brother Jin, who is getting older, has become more sensible, and is already shy when Ye Qingzhi deliberately teases her.

Sending brother to school, of course it is better for him to do this. When he arrived at the academy, there were not many people, and they were one of the first few people. There is also a brother and a younger brother in the house.

The two chatted for a while, that person was the rightful gentleman of the Ju family, once he heard that Ye Qingzhi was just the husband of a small merchant family, he lost the mood to talk.

Ye Qingzhi smiled and said nothing, but he wondered if this college is good. If the younger brother with status in it also wears colored glasses like this person, wouldn't his brother Jin be bullied?

After waiting for a while, an old grey-haired grandma came in. Seeing Ye Qingzhi and the others, she smiled and said, "The dean is receiving an old friend, please wait a moment, husband and wife."

"It's okay." Mrs. Juren returned gracefully, and Ye Qingzhi followed him.

It was almost noon when the dean came in a hurry. When he saw the two children, he smiled very kindly. Hearing the identities of him and the husband, he still treated them the same, and treated them equally. Ye Qingzhi felt a little relieved.

Ye Qingzhi knelt down, said a few words to Brother Jin, and then left.

What about other parents?When Ye Qingzhi returned home from the college, he kept thinking about whether Brother Jin would be afraid of leaving them, whether he would be bullied, whether he would be hungry, etc. Until evening, he saw Aunt Zhao leading Brother Jin Standing in front of him well-behaved, it was only when he let go of his heart.

"You're just too worried. Then Qingyuan is the best college in Qinghe City, how could Brother Jin be wronged." Cheng Hui shook his head and laughed.

Ye Qingzhi ignored him, pulled Brother Jin to his side, and asked, "How is it at the academy? Is the teacher treating you well? Are the classmates treating you well?"

"Don't worry, the teacher and classmates are all well." Brother Jin buried his head in Ye Qingzhi's arms and smiled.

"That's good." Ye Qingzhi patted Brother Jin's head and felt relieved.

Brother Jin went to school, and Jing Bai was still young. For a while, Ye Qingzhi had a lot of leisure time, and he didn't know what to do with the spare time.

The main reason is that there are too few entertainment items in ancient times, especially computers. I have gradually forgotten them before, but now I start to miss them infinitely when I am free.

He knows why women in ancient times and brothers in this world always like to fight in the house, they are all idle.

In the end, there was nothing else to do, so Ye Qingzhi simply embroidered things, picked some good ones to give away, and usually sold them in the store for an extra pocket money.

"If it's really boring, you can go back to the countryside and live for a while." Cheng Hui said.

He is very busy now, so he doesn't have that much time to spend with Ye Qingzhi, and Ye Qingzhi doesn't know many people in the city, so there is indeed no one to chat with.

"It's okay, Jingbai can walk these days, I have to keep an eye on it all the time, I'm not idle anymore." Ye Qingzhi told the truth, Jingbai is so skinny, he can disappear under your nose in the blink of an eye.

But for children, Ye Qingzhi thinks that the skin is better and the body is healthy.

That day, Ye Qingzhi just got up, and she heard Zhao Ama say: "My lord, someone outside said that they are from Lingnan Village, and they want to see you?"

Ye Qingzhi was taken aback. He lives here, but he hasn't told anyone. How do people know he's here?

Asking old man Zhao to bring the person in, Ye Qingzhi changed into a coat and went out, and was taken aback again when he saw the person coming.

"Brother Gui? How do you know I'm here?" His eyes swept over, and he was even more curious when he saw that there was no one else. For a little brother like Brother Gui, his family would definitely not let him come out alone.

"I came here with my man, and I happened to meet Brother Hui, so I knew you lived here." Brother Gui stepped forward happily, "Brother Qing is also true. He didn't even tell me when he moved to the city, and he didn't even mention it during the Chinese New Year." go back."

"I originally wanted to tell you, but I was in a hurry, and you were getting married again, so I didn't say anything. Would it be nice for me to drag you to add makeup to you?" Ye Qingzhi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Gui Geer, who has always been carefree, twitched, "I like it, but it's too expensive." A pair of gold earrings probably cost a lot of silver. My brother is so envious, he has earned enough face.

"That's good." For a country family, having one or two pieces of silver jewelry is already very respectable, and a pair of small gold earrings is definitely a luxury.

Ye Qingzhi didn't mean to show off, it's just that your brother is a nice person, and he helped out when he was pregnant and confinement, so naturally he wouldn't treat him badly.

Originally he was thinking of giving a silver bracelet, but later he wanted to move to the city, so he simply gave them a pair of gold earrings, so that they could set up a shop in the city, so they don't have to hide their clumsiness like before.

I wanted Brother Gui to stay for lunch, but I didn't want them to go shopping and rush back to the countryside, so Ye Qingzhi couldn't stay longer, so he had someone fetch some snacks and a roast chicken for him to take back.
