Chapter 191 Engagement
The restaurants in the county have been busy for more than a month, and the business has gradually stabilized. Of course, it is also due to the weather. In May, the sun is getting hotter, and the number of people eating hot pot has indeed decreased. Of course, there are also hot pots in batches.
Fans love to sweat and have tears in their eyes.
Zhao Yunlan hasn't gone to the store recently. She reads books and practices calligraphy at home every day. Occasionally, when she gets interested, she makes some delicious food for Akihito and his son to encourage their studies.
That day, Zhao Yunlan was enjoying the cool air in the yard, when Aunt Cui brought a letter, which she had brought along with her from Lijia Village when she asked Da Zhuang and his two men to deliver it.
The letter was written by Deng Yong. The letter reported on the situation in the mountainous areas. This year was another bumper harvest. The fruits in the mountainous areas were growing well. The peppers were growing well. In addition, the planting area had been expanded this year. I think they would be able to harvest by then.
Full of harvest.
Another thing is that Deng Yong's own new house has begun to break ground, and all the free men in the village are rushing to help. Deng Yong's family is very happy, and Zhao Yunlan must go back and have a glass of warm house wine when he is ready.
Zhao Yunlan handed the letter to Aunt Cui and put it away. She was also happy for Deng Yong in her heart. Everyone had a bright future.
At the same time, the Wang family in Fucheng also received a letter from Lijia Village. It was written by the village chief's family, saying that Yuqing was engaged to be the youngest son of the Shi family in the town, Shi Baohua.
Shi Baohua is also a scholar. He passed the county examination this year, but unfortunately he failed the government examination. However, Shi Baohua is not discouraged and has a broad mind. If he doesn't pass this time, he can always pass next time. If he really can't pass, he will farm at home.
I can still live a good life. Anyway, my family has a lot of land and is financially well off.
The two of them met after Shi Baohua took the government examination. At first, Li Yuqing was a little reluctant to see each other. It wasn't that she was still thinking about Li Mingli, but she just felt that going to see each other so quickly seemed like the things she had done before were just a joke.
joke.
Or maybe he is not ready to get engaged yet. When it comes time to get serious about it, he will inevitably panic. Because both parents of the Li family and the Shi family are very serious about getting married this time, Li Yuqing has a vague feeling that it will probably be this person in the future.
.
So I met Shi Baohua for the first time with some resistance but also some curiosity. Unexpectedly, Shi Baohua left a deep impression on Li Yuqing the first time.
Unlike Mingli, who is honest and honest, Shi Baohua is cheerful and polite. Although he is a scholar, he does not pretend to be a scholar. He only talks about some of his deeds in the academy to prove that he is not messing around outside. He also talks about crops.
Talk freely.
After meeting each other for the first time, Li Yuqing had some strange feelings about this person. She had no feelings for Li Mingli. Although she was not sure what was going on, at least she knew that she was not tired of chatting with Shi Baohua.
In this way, with the efforts of both parents, the two met twice and three times. Shi Baohua fell in love with Li Yuqing at first sight, so he happily accepted the subsequent arrangements. However, after getting along several times, Li Yuqing's heart was caught by Shi Baohua.
After the busy farming season, the two families happily got engaged, and the wedding date was set for October.
After Mrs. Wang read the letter, most of the stones in her heart fell. But she turned around and thought about the third child, and couldn't help but sigh. Alas, there is no suitable girl yet.
When June came, Li Mingren had to go to Fucheng to prepare for the exam, and autumn was coming. Before autumn, Li Mingren had to take a scientific examination, so Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren left Ruiwen alone in the county, and the couple sat
The carriage returned to Fucheng.
"Dad and mom, don't you wait for me?" Ruiwen's inner anguish was all reflected on his face. This was already the sixth time he asked Grandma Cui today.
Aunt Cui could only comfort her over and over again: "Master Sun, we can go to Fucheng when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes. By then, the eldest young master will also be selected as a candidate for election, so you can go and play for a few more days."
Ruiwen looked at Grandma Cui but didn't respond, and silently got up and took Xia to the study.
Here in Fucheng, Li Mingren reviews his homework at home every day. After all, he must pass the academic examination in order to take part in the Qiu Wei.
Zhao Yunlan started to simulate exams for Li Mingren again. This time, he also simulated encountering various unexpected situations, such as a rainy day during the exam, the wind was too strong and the rain drifted into the exam room, and the test paper was soaked by the rain, or at night
When I was sleeping, I accidentally kicked the oil lamp and burned all the answer sheets I wrote during the day. Another thing was that I was assigned to a smelly cell. I was so smoked in the smelly cell every day that I couldn't even open my eyes.
Zhao Yunlan watched with great pleasure that Li Mingren became stronger and stronger every day under his torture. Li Mingren hoped that Qiu Wei would come quickly to end all this. After all, during this period, Li Mingren had nothing but to do.
During the mock exam, I had to keep exercising morning and night. On a hot day, I would be sweating even if I moved casually, even if there was no sun in the morning or evening.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren sleep in separate rooms. The reason is that they cannot be distracted before the exam...
Time passed day by day, and Zhao Yunlan received a letter from Zhaojiagou. The Zhao family's joy could be felt in the letter. Zhao Yunlan became an aunt again, and Huang Yuhua was happy.
After reading the letter, Zhao Yunlan also missed Jiang a little. In addition, Deng Yong's house was almost completed, so Zhao Yunlan wanted to go back and take a look.
Li Mingmei and Li Mingli knew that Zhao Yunlan was going back, so they clamored to go back together to have a look.
Hey, Mrs. Wang agreed, but she was still a little worried about the third child, so she had no choice but to ask Old Man Li to go back together. Mrs. Wang wanted to stay in Fucheng to take care of Wu Yi. Although there were servants at home to take care of her, Mingyi now had more time.
I can spend more time with Wu Yi, but now that I am older and without my elders around, Wu Yi always feels uneasy.
Old Man Li is a little unhappy, and he doesn't know if it's because he is getting older. Now Old Man Li feels that he can't live without Mrs. Wang, and wants to be with Mrs. Wang wherever he goes.
But Old Man Li was not an emotional person and knew what Wang's concerns were, so he could only return to Lijia Village with his children.
Li Mingren thought that when his wife returned to Lijiacun, he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. Unexpectedly, Wang took the baton and continued to stare at Li Mingren.
Zhao Yunlan also knew that he wanted Li Mingren to balance work with rest, but every time he looked at his mean look, he knew that this man only needed to work. This is called more work, more gain.
In Lijia Village, it was time for Deng Yong's house to be built. Zhao Yunlan and his brother and sister came to join in the fun. The master who built the beam poured wine into the beam and said auspicious words:
"The sun and the earth are auspicious, and the sky and the earth are open. The purple is shining brightly, just in time to ascend the beam. As soon as the treasure beam is ascended, great luck and great prosperity. The South Pole presents auspiciousness, and the Beidou presents auspiciousness. The first title is opened, the book is blooming, the relatives congratulate, and wealth will last forever."
The villagers happily scrambled for the grains. The village chief said a few words of congratulations, and Deng Yong arranged for a banquet.
Mingli found out about Li Yuqing's engagement before she came back, and her heart was not affected. Today she even took the initiative to see the village chief as a gift, which made her seem more mature.
Old Li sat next to the village chief and drank with him, while Li Mingli sat next to Old Li and took care of him.
Now I can rest assured. Li Mingli should have let go. Even if he doesn't let go, what else can he do? Yu Qing has already embroidered her wedding dress.
