Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 2894 Daan's marriage (three more)

Zhou Qiang ran home in one breath, and her mother-in-law sat in the kitchen cutting pigweed with a depressed face.

Zhou Qiang told the woman the good news, and the woman's face suddenly showed a light of surprise.

"Master, really?" she asked.

Zhou Qiang rolled his eyes at the woman, "Look at what you're asking. When did you man say something unreliable?"

The woman suddenly became excited, "Oh, actually, I had planned this a few days ago, and I was afraid that you didn't want to go. It's rare that you thought of going by yourself. Now our family has a lot of money for the New Year."

Zhou Qiang was also very happy, and he was thinking: "Strength, I have enough. In the past, I used to work as a small worker for [-] Wen a day, and after working for forty days, I was able to earn more than three taels of silver."

"The three children have all the cotton-padded clothes and shoes for the New Year, and they can even pull a new set of clothes for your grandfather."

"Give our mother a new quilt for the big bed, and buy a few more catties of pork and a few catties of wine for your natal parents."

"Visiting relatives and friends in the first month, there will be more dishes, and some money left over, I will use it to catch two piggies in the spring of next year, and then send our two sons to school."

Hearing Zhou Qiang's plan, the woman's mouth had already moved to the side, and she seemed to see crashing copper coins in front of her eyes.

"I was still sad about that reed chicken before, thinking that the children's two boiled egg custards every day have been ruined again,"

"Why did Feng Zhi get into trouble and ask our family to spend money to clean up the mess for her?"

"Unexpectedly, it seems that we have lost our money, but there is greater wealth waiting for us. This is really a blessing in disguise, great, great!" the woman repeated.

Mentioning Fengzhi, Zhou Qiang's face is not very good-looking.

"Let's not talk about her, it's too much trouble, it's embarrassing!" Zhou Qiang said.

"Find me a pair of working shoes. I have to go out. Don't beat my rice for lunch. I will come home after work in the evening." He ordered.

"Okay!" The woman stood up and went to find Zhou Qiang's shoes in a desperate manner.

If you have money, of course you can earn it. In this country where the sky is full of harvest, it is really rare to have a way to earn money.

Zhou Sheng's home.

Fengzhi woke up, and when she woke up, she had another fight with Zhou Sheng.

Then, Feng Zhi picked up some clothes and went back to her mother's house.

……

With everyone's concerted efforts, the new house of Yang Huazhou's family is being built in an orderly manner.

Although Xiaoqin and Yuzhi were invited to cook in the kitchen, Bao Suyun is a restless person and stays in the kitchen during the day, helping to wash and cook vegetables.

As for Yang Huazhou, although he can't work with his hands, he is always wandering around the construction site.

Eat and drink with the craftsmen, and communicate with the construction situation at any time.

The other men in the old Yang's family, except Yang Yongxian who wanted to teach, Yang Yongjin who was running a restaurant in the county town, and a few students who were studying, all of them came to help.

Good things come in pairs.

At the end of October and the beginning of November in the lunar calendar, good news came from the Yamen.

Da'an passed the Jinshi examination.

When the news came back to Changping Village, it was really boiling.

Yang Huazhong and Sun's couple were so excited that they didn't know what to do, Yang Ruoqing and the others were also very excited.

"Your father said that when the official announcement comes out, ten tables will be set up in the village, and everyone will be invited to a banquet for free," Sun and Yang Ruoqing said excitedly.

"Your father also said that when the time comes, the theater troupe will be invited to the village to have a good time for three days and three nights."

Hearing Mrs. Sun's words, Yang Ruoqing's eyebrows and eyes crooked with a smile.

"Okay, okay, we can do whatever dad says, and we'll have a lot of fun when the time comes. Anyone who knows or has been in touch with our family from ten miles and eight villages will be invited to come and have a banquet,"

"Sing for three days and three nights in a big show for free, have a good time." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Mother, sister, can you listen to me?" Da'an asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "You are the protagonist, of course you can say it, not just two sentences, but a hundred sentences!"

Sun also looked at Da An lovingly, waiting for Da An's next words.

Da'an smiled and said: "For banquets or something, take it easy, I'm leaving for the capital in the next few days to take part in the imperial examination."

"I want to hold the banquet after the palace examination is over, so I can settle down. Mother, sister, what do you think?" Da'an asked.

Yang Ruoqing and Sun Shi looked at each other, and Yang Ruoqing said, "I think it's done."

Sun said: "Then I also think it will be done. Discuss it with your father later, and he probably won't have any opinions."

Sure enough, when Yang Ruoqing and Mrs. Sun discussed this matter with Yang Huazhong, Yang Huazhong readily agreed.

winter night.

The north wind howled outside.

In the room, although there was a charcoal fire on the plate, it was still a bit cold.

Because of the doors and windows, they followed Yang Ruoqing's instructions and kept some gaps to allow the air to circulate.

"Brother Da'an, it's getting late, and it's freezing cold. After you wash your feet, go to bed earlier and don't freeze."

Xiaohua picked up a basin of footwashing water and was about to splash it outside, and couldn't help but talk to Daan's figure when she passed the desk.

Da'an's gaze fell on the scroll in his hand, and he gave a soft 'hmm' when he heard this.

Xiao Hua said again: "You will be going to Beijing early tomorrow morning, you should rest early."

Da'an didn't say anything this time.

Xiaohua waited for a while, but did not wait for Daan's response, she sighed secretly, picked up the water basin, turned and left the room.

Da'an's gaze shifted from the scroll in his hand to the thin figure passing by outside the window, and there were many forbearing things surging in his eyes.

There are some things that are not yet time to speak.

Wait a little longer, soon, soon, soon she will be able to give her a stable happiness.

……

Xiaohua went back to her room in despair, and found Xiaoduo sitting on the bed, not asleep yet.

Holding a pair of embroidery work in his hand, he was humming a little song while doing it.

"Xiaohua, who are you embroidering for? Why are you embroidering mandarin ducks?" Xiaohua sat down and asked.

Xiaoduo smiled and said, "Help my aunt with embroidery, no, Brother Dajie will marry Sister Huang Mao after the Chinese New Year, and my aunt asked me to help with some embroidery."

"Oh, so it's like this." Xiao Hua said, and also picked up another embroidery work in the dustpan beside Xiao Duo and started to embroider.

Xiaoduo lightly touched Xiaohua's arm with her elbow.

"Xiaohua, that day I overheard the third aunt chatting with the eldest aunt and the fifth aunt, and they talked about our big guy's marriage." Xiaoduo said suddenly.

"We big guy? What do you mean?" Xiaohua asked.

Xiaoduo said: "It's because Brother Dajie is about to get married, so Aunt Five asked Third Aunt what to do with Brother Da'an's marriage."

"What did Third Aunt say?" Xiao Hua asked, feeling a little tense in her heart.

Xiaoduo said: "Third Aunt said that Brother Da'an's marriage will follow Da'an's own wishes in the future. She and Third Uncle will not interfere, just check."

"Is that so..." Xiaohua said.

Xiaoduo said: "They all said, why the third uncle and aunt didn't get involved with Brother Da'an's marriage, on the one hand, they want Brother Da'an to study with peace of mind."

"Secondly, I want to keep this opportunity. After all, he is going to be an official. His future wife must at least be a lady from a big family. It will help Brother Da'an's official career..."
