Carrying the wrong sedan chair to marry the wrong wife

Snowflakes were falling in the sky, Xu Qin'er pulled Lu Qingyi away from the maid, and hid in the Library Pavilion. The two found two chairs and sat down.

Xu Qin'er hesitated for a moment and asked, "Qingyi, are you okay?"

Lu Qingyi didn't understand why.

"You don't feel comfortable thinking about such a big event. Lin Yunsheng is a talented person, and he's a great candidate, but he's much better than my cousin."

Lu Qingyi understood what was said, but it was still because of the wrong mention.

"However, although my cousin is illiterate, he still has a pretty good heart. Although he is sometimes naughty, he has never done anything harmful. Besides, he is infatuated with you, so he won't mistreat you."

When Lu Qingyi heard the last word, Xu Qin'er gave Xu Qin'er a blank look. At first, she thought she was arguing for herself after hearing Xu Qin'er's words, but when she heard the last word, it was clear that she was speaking nicely for her cousin.

"Thank you cousin for your comfort. Now that I have married into Shen's family, I naturally look away."

"That's good, we women are most afraid of marrying the wrong man, but fortunately my cousin is kind-hearted, and my aunt and uncle are kind people, and the relatives and elders in the family are also kind. There are no villains in our family. You will know after a long time." Seeing that Lu Qingyi's face showed no grievances, Xu Qin'er was relieved that her aunt is not Mancang's biological mother, so keeping her aunt Lu Qingyi will be safe for the rest of her life up.

"Well, I just wonder when will Cousin Qin'er leave the cabinet?"

Xu Qin'er blushed when she heard the words, and whispered: "I heard from my mother that the appointment was in August. I saw a portrait of the other party. Mother said that he was a student of my father. He is currently working as the county magistrate in Yanghe."

"Married to Yanghe? Although it's not far away, I won't move around so frequently in the future." Lu Qingyi sighed.

"Who says no, I don't want to leave Nantong, but my father has already made an appointment." Xu Qin'er sighed, thinking about leaving Nantong and going to a completely strange place, I always feel a little uneasy, "Qingyi, you I just got acquainted, and we each got married within a year, so I really can't bear it."

Lu Qingyi felt the same when she heard the words. She had felt this feeling since she left Beijing with her father. The sisters in Beijing and China had no choice but to communicate with each other once in a while.

"Yanghe River is not far away. I always have to walk around during the New Year and holidays. If I have free time, I will go to Yanghe River to see you together."

Xu Qin'er heard the words and said happily: "It's a deal. I don't have any acquaintances there when I marry. If you and sister Xin'er come to live with me for a few days every year, I will be satisfied."

They are talking about marriage to each other here, but preaching is being staged in the study.

The grandfather of the Wang family was thirsty, picked up the teacup and drank two sips of tea, and said: "Nowadays, if you marry such an educated and reasonable daughter-in-law, if you don't work hard, you will definitely gossip outside. We are men, how can we see God let us go People poke their own spines and say that they are not good enough for a wife, and you are young, learning from scratch is faster than a doll, you say so."

Standing aside, Shen Wenchang felt sleepy listening, nodded his head when he heard the words, and said in agreement: "Yes, yes."

"Then, take these three books back and read them. If you don't understand, you can ask your grandson-in-law. I will take the exam for a period of one month."

"Ah?" Shen Wenchang was so frightened that he suddenly stopped dozing off, and looked at the Wang family's grandfather with terrified eyes, "Well, grandpa, my father asked me to learn abacus. He has to take a test when he comes back from business. I, a stupid person like me, do the same." I'm afraid I won't be able to learn, and I won't be able to use my brain if I learn too much."

"What kind of abacus do you want to learn? Your father doesn't want to see if you have the material to do business. Listen to me and learn literature from the beginning. As long as you can pass the examination of scholar, let your father-in-law look for a calendar in the yamen." The Wang family After speaking, the grandfather stood up, folded his hands and said, "Your father has no way to teach the child, and he can't come up with any ideas. Listen to my grandfather on this matter, go back and study hard."

"Oh." Shen Wenchang was yelled at, and reluctantly picked up the three books on the table, hugged them in his arms, with a sad expression on his face.

Compared with Shen Wenchang's hatred and bitterness, Lu Qingyi was like a fish in water in the Library Pavilion. She chose four books and put them on the desk, reading them with relish.

"Siblings, can you do me a favor?" Xu Qin'er asked with a book in her arms.

"Cousin, please tell me."

"I used to borrow this "Fangyu Shenglan" from my grandfather, but my grandfather refused to borrow it. Later, I asked my brother, cousin Peng Yi, and sister Xin'er to borrow it, but I didn't lend it out. But I really like it very much. I think every day In the afternoon, I will read it to relieve my boredom, so I will trouble my brothers and sisters to borrow it from my grandfather today."

Lu Qingyi couldn't help smiling when she heard the words: "My cousin and cousins ​​haven't borrowed it. Qingyi is a soft-spoken person, how can grandpa agree to borrow it?"

"Grandpa is willing. You are a bride coming to the house. Grandpa will definitely bear the pain to part with you. Brother and sister, please help me."

Lu Qingyi smiled and said, "Then I'll give it a try. If grandpa refuses, don't blame me, cousin."

"It's natural," Xu Qin'er said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you to visit other places. It's time to have dinner when you're young. Let's go there to save the elders from sending someone to remind you."

Hearing this, Lu Qingyi embraced "Fang Yu Sheng Lan" in her arms, stood up, and followed Xu Qin'er to leave Zangshu Pavilion.

In the study, the grandfather of the Wang family taught Shen Wenchang a few pages, and found that the boy understood it quite quickly, he was not stupid, but these few pages were written crookedly and out of shape.

Shen Wenchang listened patiently to his grandfather's lecture, feeling as if he was sitting on pins and needles. Hearing that the maid outside invited him to dinner, he quickly put down his pen, heaving a sigh of relief, his face was flushed red from the suffering, and he wished he could grow wings and fly out.

"It's your father who delayed you since you were a child, but you can still learn well if you study hard." Grandpa Wang sighed sincerely.

"Grandpa, I can still understand it just by listening to it. It's just that when I hold a pen, sometimes my head hurts badly, and occasionally I get into a bad mood. I, I'm not very suitable for reading. Grandpa, let's forget about being a scholar." Shen Wenchang begged, she knew in her heart that her father listened to the grandfather of the Wang family the most, and a word from the grandfather could fix her for the rest of her life, even if she passed the exam for a scholar, she would fail.

"Why isn't it suitable? I can understand it after learning it just now. It won't be a problem to spend a lot of money." Grandpa Wang waved his hand after saying that, "Okay, let's go to dinner first, take these three books with you, and study hard when you go back. .”

"Oh." Shen Wenchang didn't want to learn in his heart, so he went out with his book sullenly.

At the dinner table, several people were seated according to their dignity. Shen Wenchang poked the rice in the bowl without saying a word. Lu Qingyi looked at it several times, and then picked a piece of fish and put it in Shen Wenchang's bowl.

Shen Wenchang raised his head and glanced at his wife reluctantly.

"The warehouse is full, the food is not to your taste?" Grandma Wang asked.

"No." Shen Wenchang said as he picked out vegetables and put them in the bowl, "Grandma, I like to eat them all."

"Eat as much as you like." Grandma Wang said with a smile.

After the meal, Lu Qingyi spoke under Xu Qin's eager anticipation.

"Grandpa, I found a good book in the Book Library Pavilion today. Qingyi wants to ask Grandpa to borrow it for reading. Is it possible?"

"Oh? What book?" Grandpa Wang asked.

"Fang Yu Sheng Lan compiled by Zhu Mu."

The grandfather of the Wang family glanced at Xu Qin'er when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "If you like it, grandpa will give it to you as a meeting gift. Books and confidants will reward."

"Grandpa is so biased." Xu Qin'er stepped forward with a smile, "I borrowed it several times and refused to allow it, but as soon as my siblings asked, grandpa gave it away."

"Who told you to marry late? If you marry early, you may be given away." Grandpa Wang laughed.

"Mother, look at Grandpa." Xu Qin'er blushed with shame.

After a few words, Mrs. Shen took the young couple to leave and leave the Wang family. Lu Qingyi presented the book to Xu Qin'er, "A gentleman does not take away what others love, he borrows flowers and presents Buddha to his cousin."

"I'll borrow it for a few days, and I'll return it to you after reading it. After all, it was given to you by grandpa." Xu Qin'er took the book with a look of joy.

"Then I'll tell grandpa another day, and I'll give it to you as a congratulatory gift on the day my cousin gets married." Lu Qingyi felt that grandpa knew it well, so if she didn't reveal it, she thought that her granddaughter was about to marry, so she just gave it to her granddaughter as a pretext.

"Thank you, brother and sister." Xu Qin'er was overjoyed, "Auntie, my mother is waiting for me over there, I will go first, and I will go to the mansion to visit you and uncle some other day."

Mrs. Shen nodded with a smile: "Well, it's cold, hurry up and get in the carriage."

Xu Qin'er went happily with the book in her hand, and Mrs. Shen turned around and took the young couple into the carriage.

"Shen Song, go to Peng's house." Mrs. Shen ordered in the car.

"Hey." Shen Song moved the footstool to the carriage beam, and raised his whip.

In the car, Shen Wenchang threw the book directly on the car stool, looked at his stepmother and begged, "Er Niang, please help me persuade my grandfather, the old man wants me to be a scholar, so he gave me three books and asked me to read them in a month." It's over, one month, and I'll be tested after it's over."

"Ah?" Mrs. Shen was taken aback. Her father didn't know the level of full warehouse, so how could he make such a decision?

"Then what, it's not a bad thing to read more books, and grandpa is doing it for your own good." Mrs. Shen picked up a book and flipped through it, "This book is difficult for you in a month, how much can you read?" How much?"

"It's about to die." Shen Wenchang sighed.

Hearing this, Lu Qingyi also picked up a book and flipped through it: "These are fairly simple, I'll teach you when I go back, I can learn [-]% to [-]% in a month."

Shen Wenchang originally wanted to have trouble with Erniang, but after begging, he might not need to read it.Just thinking about it, when I heard Lu Qingyi's words, didn't this demolish her, I was immediately annoyed: "You just read a lot."

Lu Qingyi's eyes were full of disbelief and hurt when she heard the words, and she wanted to say something, but because her mother-in-law was present, she held back, put down the book, turned her head outside, and resisted the urge to cry.

"Full warehouse!" Mrs. Shen didn't expect her stepson to say that, "Why are you talking to Hui Ban? I just said you were sensible in the morning, but now you're confused."

After Madam Shen finished speaking, she winked at her stepson and asked him to apologize.

Needless to say, Erniang, Shen Wenchang regretted it after he finished speaking, and couldn't take back what he blurted out, so he carefully looked at Lu Qingyi twice, and slowly said: "My lady, didn't I just mean to say something to you, just to say that I don't want to talk to you. I really don’t want to read. If I can calm down and read, I will read it when I was a child. You, don’t be angry with me, I’m holding back in the study, I, I don’t understand why I said that. Come."

Lu Qingyi only responded lightly when she heard the words, her mother-in-law was present, and Shen Wenchang apologized at the side, she couldn't handle it.

"Shen Song, go home." Madam Shen shouted out.

Outside, Shen Song sighed slightly and turned his horse's head.

"Your appearance makes your grandpa and grandma worry about you for no reason." Seeing that the relationship between the young couple has become stiff, Mrs. Shen decided not to go to Peng's house today. This appearance does not look like a loving couple. It is better to let them go back to the room and solve it by themselves. "After I accompany Huiban back home, I will come to see the old man and your uncle and aunt."

"Oh." Shen Wenchang responded, and slowly moved his hand to hold Lu Qingyi's hand, which was gently pushed away by Lu Qingyi.

Shen Wenchang was extremely annoyed, the matter of studying was not resolved, but his wife was offended, and his intestines were immediately ruined, why didn't he control his broken mouth at that time.
