suspected wife

It was no secret that Shu Xiu, who was Mingjue's ten taels of silver a month, was in Yunjia Village.

Ordinarily, for a scholar, even if he is invited to be a teacher, the market price is about five taels of silver.But Mingjue took twelve taels a month, which made people think a little bit more.

Either the eldest son of the Qiao family is a real talent, or the owner's family values ​​this child very much.

As a result, more people stared at Ming Jue naturally.

In fact, Qiao Mingjin knew that her younger brother did have real talents.

The child worked hard since he was a child, and he studied for several years when he was young. Knowing that his family's conditions were not enough, he did not continue to study after he was selected as a scholar.

Mostly self-study at home.

At home, I cherish every opportunity to read a book.

The first time the rooster crows, the person must have gotten up to study.I am reluctant to light candles at night, not to mention chiseling walls to steal light, but I also want to seize every opportunity to read.

Of course, there was nothing for him to steal, but he did a lot of work in the kitchen to boil water.

Member Liu was willing to hire him for ten taels of silver, and he was also willing to let Ming Heng go to study with him. It was also because he, the Liu family's son, was indeed too naughty.

Qiao's matchmaker came and went.

Originally, a poor scholar was not recognized by many people. Before that, the conditions of the Qiao family were not good, there were not many acres of land, and there were many children in the family. Not to mention a young child, the two girls had to get a lot of dowry to go out.

But now, the eldest son of the Qiao family can earn back ten taels of silver in a month!Not to mention raising a wife and children, even raising Yue's family can also be raised.

So left and right neighboring villages.Even farther away, there are people in Songshan Ji who send matchmakers to match.

The Lan family rejected all those who came to propose marriage to Ming Jue.

It just means that Jue still has to prepare for the exam, so it's not easy to get distracted, and we can talk about kissing after the exam.

If it is said that Qiao Mingjin was brought up by the Lan family since she was a child, and she ate and slept with her, and was brought up as the clan's wife, then Mingjue should be raised by the future head of the Qiao family.

An eldest granddaughter, an eldest grandson, in the eyes of grandmother Lan.It's all heavy.

Now that the family situation is getting better day by day, and Ming Jue has a better future, he naturally doesn't want to casually arrange a marriage for this eldest grandson.

To explain Jue's age, people in the countryside have already given birth to babies.

But in the eyes of the Lan family, the eldest grandson who will be full is really not considered big.Even if he waited another two years, Ming Jue would not be able to win Qiu Wei.He was only 20 years old, and at that time he still had the status of a showman, so he was not afraid that he would not be close.

Lan's readily rejected the matchmakers from all over the world who came to propose marriage to Ming Jue.

There are those who are disdainful, but there are also those who are persistent.

However, Mrs. Lan is a very righteous person, no matter how close someone is to explain Jue's marriage.She didn't let go.

But Ming Yu's marriage went much smoother.

It's not that the Lan family didn't pay much attention to Ming Yu.It's just that Ming Yu is now sixteen years old, and a girl who hasn't kissed her at the age of sixteen will be slandered by various people in the countryside.

Even if the Lan family wanted to wait until Mingjue's two years later, Qiu Wei, and wait for the family to rise to a higher level, so as to choose a better marriage for Mingyu, but Mingyu will be dead in two years, how can he wait?

Besides, what if Ming Jue loses in two years?Wouldn't it be more embarrassing?

There were quite a few people who came to propose marriage to Ming Yu.Let the Lan family pick and choose.

Lan's and Qiao's mother were not at all relieved.As long as the door-to-door suitors are received one by one, they will send people to understand one by one...

Into the twelfth lunar month.Yunjin came back from Yunjia Village and said that the Lan family had chosen three families.I also stopped by to ask what Qiao Mingjin meant.

There are three families, one is a wealthy family named Xie from a nearby village.

The family has nearly [-] acres of good paddy fields, and the family is simple, with only two sons, the eldest son is married and has given birth to a son.This year, my dear son has studied for a few years in his early years, and failed the scholar examination twice, and then he stopped thinking.

After getting money from my parents, I opened a small store in Songshan Market to sell some groceries.

The family is simple, saying that after the younger son gets married, the two sons will be separated. The old man lives with the older son in the countryside. The older son gets [-]% of the property and the younger son gets [-]%. Set up.

The other family was agreed upon by Joe's mother's sister, Yun Ni.

Qiao Mingjin's aunt Yunni married not far away, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter in the village next door to Yunjia Village.

The home is slightly better than the original Qiao's.

Uncle Wei Bo’s family doesn’t have many acres of land, and their village is surrounded by stone mountains. Wei Bo usually helps people knock some stones to sell, grind some stone slabs, carve some tombstones, and carve some stone statues. silver.

The eldest son, Wei Jinhu, followed his father in the mountains to earn two coins by knocking rocks.There is also a son, Wei Yinbao, who is 16 years old, and occasionally learns something from his father and brother.The youngest daughter, Wei Hongli, is only 14 years old and helps Yunni to manage the house.

The family Yunni mentioned was a scholar in their village. 19 years old, also surnamed Wei.

Their village is all rocky mountains and ridges, and there is not much land. This scholar's family is not very happy, but fortunately, his grandfather's family still has some money, which has been used for him to study since he was a child.This Wei Xiucai is a good student in his studies, and he was selected as a scholar two years ago.

After Yunni learned that Mingyu was talking about marriage, she told Mother Qiao about this family, and said that she had a very good relationship with her.

Ever since Qiao Mingjin's reconciliation and divorce, Mother Qiao has been very concerned. She feels that her daughter cannot take care of her natal family because she married far away.

Now it seems that he is from the same village as his sister, and in the future he will be able to take care of her, and he is also a scholar. Qiao's mother is very fond of this scholar named Wei.

And the other is the daughter of a gentleman in Uncle Yun's private school, Yunmu.

This Yun Mu is Yun Jin's younger brother. He is 15 years old. Uncle Yun's family is not bad. Aunt Yun grows a lot of vegetables. She sells vegetables to pay for Yun Mu. She went to Songshanji to study in a private school and returned only after ten days off. home trip.

A few days ago, Uncle Yun and Aunt Yun saw that the weather was getting cold, and brought clothes for the child to the private school. They happened to find out that a gentleman in Yun Mu was talking about marriage for his son.

With this combination, the two families began to look at each other.

That gentleman's surname is Zhang, and he has only one son.He was also selected as a scholar early on, and now he is studying in an academy in Qingchuan County.

That Mr. Zhang learned that the girl's elder brother was also a scholar at a young age, and that the girl's father was also a scholar, a serious farmer and student.

He also heard that Mingyu was doing all the work inside and outside the house, whether it was kitchen work or needlework, they were all excellent, so it was very intentional, and it meant to look at each other...

Now the Lan family from other families has refused, and only said that they want to see these three families.

It happened that Yunjin was returning to the village, so he told Yunjin, and asked Yunjin to tell Qiao Mingjin as well.

Just after dinner, Qiao Mingjin found out that Wan and Yunluan went to play by themselves, and then chatted with Yunjin and He Shi in the wing room by burning a charcoal basin.

Let's talk about Mingyu's three people who want to see each other.

Mrs. He felt the same way as Mother Qiao.

Sitting cross-legged on the couch, he said, "I still like Wei Xiucai from Sangu Village. Not to mention that he is also a scholar, but if Sangu is watching, the family will not dare to do anything to Mingyu. Mingyu Yu has a gentle temperament, if she meets a tricky mother-in-law, she won't be as bold as Jinniang to come out alone."

Yun Jin glared at He Shi, then turned to look at Qiao Mingjin, and found that she didn't care.

Then he said: "I like the family surnamed Xie in the neighboring village. If this scholar is not a scholar, who knows what will happen in the future? How many people end up being only scholars all their lives. That scholar does nothing with a book in his hand. Knowing that you can stretch out your hands to eat and open your mouth while waiting for your clothes to come, and you won’t even help the broom if it falls down. I don’t know half of economics, so in the future, let Mingyu work alone in the field?"

After a pause, he continued: "The kid surnamed Xie has nearly a hundred acres of paddy fields in his family, [-]% of which is divided into dozens of acres, and his parents are with the boss. He also has a small appearance in the market, and he is an economical Yes, are you afraid that Ming Yu won't be able to eat in the future? It's all false if you are a scholar or not, and the only thing that matters these days is to fill your stomach."

Qiao Mingjin still agreed with Yun Jin's words.

Just because a teenager reads well does not mean that he will be able to get a green light all the way in the future.

Even if he wins the Juren and has no money to pass the customs, it is rare to have any future.Besides, the world is changing, from scholar to recruiter to Jinshi, you need a lot of money to pave the way, and then there is a lot of travel expenses on the road to catch up with the exam. You have to study, go to school, buy pens and ink, and eat and wear. Where can you not want money?

I'm afraid that there will be some disputes in the family over money in the future. In this world, poor and lowly couples are the most miserable.

The scholar named Wei has few acres of land in his family, and there are brothers and sisters in the family. Even if his family supports him for several years, can he still support him all the way?

As for the scholar named Zhang in the episode, his father is a gentleman, he himself is studying in an academy in the city, and he is the only son in his family. He is afraid that he will be placed with high hopes. If he has a future in the future, he may be picked. problem...

Qiao Mingjin was thinking about it, but before he could express any opinion, the Yunjin and his wife started arguing.

"Now my eldest uncle is a scholar, and Ming Jue is also a scholar. Why can't I find someone to eat in the fields for Ming Yu? How many people tighten their belts to let their children study and make progress? Now there is such a Chances are, did you find someone to plan for Ming Yu?"

Yun Jin didn't show weakness: "That depends on whether the two families can afford to read it. If you are a poor scholar all your life, do you have to rely on Ming Yu to do embroidery to support your family?"

Qiao Mingjin looked helplessly at the way the couple were arguing about Ming Yu's marriage, and laughed so hard.

On this winter night, a little warmth came out of nowhere.

This matter depends on Grandmother Lan's intentions and the result of the final meeting.

Qiao Mingjin always thought that her grandmother, Lan's family, was not easy.She is very good at seeing people, not only knowledgeable and reasonable, but also very transparent in seeing problems.

Sure enough, within a few days, Yunjin came back from Yunjia Village again, saying that these Lan clans have not settled down in the end... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support , is my greatest motivation.)
