Chapter 331 The Eve
"There is still next year!" Dong Bao held Lin Shi's hand and said softly, "In the future, there will be opportunities every year. How many people can pass the exam at one time?"

Lin Shi smiled and shook his head, "As I said before, whether I pass the exam this time, whether I pass it or not, it's all my wish. I won't take the exam anymore. I'll discuss it with my parents tomorrow. Next, let’s see whether to help the family with business, or go to the town to find a school to teach.”

If a man doesn't have a job to support himself and only relies on his wife and brothers to support him, how can he have face in the world?In Lin Shi's view, even if the teacher earns less than his wife's daily income, it is still a dignified job for him.

On the one hand, Dong Bao thinks that Lin Shi's idea is correct, after all, Song Bai's lessons learned here, on the other hand, he feels that it would be a pity if Lin Shi gave up after taking the exam only once.

"How about this..." Dong Bao smiled and discussed with Lin Shi, "We will live in the villages in the future, there are many children in several villages, you run a village school in the village, teach them to read and write, and study books in your spare time Review, and try again next year."

Lin Shi could tell at a glance that Dong Bao was trying to make him continue to study in a way that made him feel regretful, so he asked with a smile, "Then shall we stop cultivating?"

"It's all from the folks in the village, how can I accept it." Dong Bao laughed. How many families in the countryside can afford their children to study. If they are closed, no one will send their children to study and read. After leaving Shuxiu, people are rushing to test their merits. Lin Shi will inevitably spend a lot of time teaching, which will delay her time for reading and reviewing. I have something to do.

Lin Shi felt warm in his heart. The regret of failing the ranking had long since vanished. With such a daughter-in-law, what regrets could he have?Lin Shi reached out and touched Dong Bao's hair, put it on Dong Bao's forehead and kissed gently, and said: "I know you are thinking of me, but I have already decided on this matter, whether it is building a museum or helping the family I’m busy, and I can read books in my free time.”

The day before October 26th, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li paid for the furniture made by the young couple. They were tied with bright red silk and satin, and they moved in lively with gongs and drums. Lin Fu and Aunt Qiuxia prepared the furniture for the young couple. in the mansion.

When the furniture moved in, Dongbao was busy packing her things. Most of the money she had accumulated over the years had been converted into bank notes. She counted 2000 taels of silver out of it, found a vermilion lacquered wooden box, and wrapped it with oiled paper. Put it in a box, and when Mr. Yan and Xiao Xu were delivering the furniture, they went to Mrs. Li's house and handed it to Mrs. Li.

"I don't want it!" Mrs. Li pushed the wooden box back directly, "You gave it to me, what do you use? How can a girl's family have no money? I don't need anything, and it's useless if you give it to me! "

Dong Bao laughed, "Mother, you've said it all, my daughter's family can't live without money, and this money is for you to use." She had thought about it a long time ago, Master Yan and Xiao Xu are both precious. A trustworthy good person, but the problem is that she is not afraid of [-] yuan, but just in case, if the two of them treat Li Shi badly later, Li Shi and Xiao Dong, and the money that she can get close to, this is why she is behind the back of Lord Yan and Mrs. Li. The reason why Xiao Xu gave Li Shi money.

Li's eyes were a little red, and he waved his hands and said, "I don't want it either. Your father gave me some, plus the income from the shop is enough. What do I want this money for? It's useless at all."

"That's what I left for Xiaodong." Dong Bao smiled, reaching out to touch Xiaodong's pink sleeping face on the bed, when she leaves the house tomorrow, she will be Mrs. Lin Song, it's better to give now than in the future Make it easier.

Li smiled and said: "Even if you leave it to him, don't want so much. Leave him ten taels and twenty taels, which is enough for him to study. A man should earn money to support his family and start a business by himself. What kind of ability is it to rely on your sister! "

What Ren Dongbao said, Li Shi just refused to accept it. In the end, Dongbao had no choice but to say to Li Shi: "This money, can you keep it for me? If Lin Shi treats me badly in the future, I will take it I searched everything and kicked it out, I still have some pocket money for you, so I won’t be begging for food on the street.”

Mrs. Li slapped him with a slap and scolded: "Nonsense! Is Dashi such a child? You don't feel bad for saying that! Thanks to your Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin who treat you so well! Even if they treat you badly in the future, Me and your father, and your two younger brothers, are we living for nothing? Watching you being bullied?"

Although Mrs. Li was annoyed that the girl didn't talk through her brain, she still took the money. She was really afraid that her daughter's life would be bad in the future and she would be short of money.Dong Bao was so depressed after being beaten, he just felt that this world is a bit of a cheating girl, and now he is so aggrieved even giving money.

In the afternoon, Liang Zi and Li Hongqin brought Zhang Xiuyu, who had a big belly, to Yan's house. The things Zhang Xiuyu gave were simple and affordable, a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with rubies, which were heavy. Two silver coins can't be bought.

"It's too expensive!" Mrs. Li looked at Zhang Xiuyu disapprovingly, "The child will come out in a few months, and the two of you just need money, and Dongbao is not an outsider, so you spend the money to do it." What?!"

Zhang Xiuyu has a good pregnancy, other pregnant women are pregnant and vomiting, the sky is dark, she eats it, her face is round, she is lying on Dongbao's bed and eating pears, and said: "Auntie, it's because Dongbao is not an outsider. , I only spent that money, if Dong Bao was an outsider, I would be reluctant to give her such a good thing!"

"This is what the couple gave to Dong Bao, so you can accept it! The two of them are like sisters, if they don't give much, Xiuyu feels uncomfortable." Li Hongqin said with a smile.

Dong Bao thanked her frankly and accepted it. If others treat her well, she will return ten points. When Zhang Xiuyu has a baby, she will definitely give her little nephew a generous meeting gift, so that Zhang Xiuyu will not suffer. .

"Hey, I can't see you off tomorrow!" Zhang Xiuyu said regretfully to Dongbao.

There is a rule in the area of ​​Yuanshui that pregnant women are not allowed to attend the wedding banquet, otherwise they will offend the couple, and they are also not allowed to eat noodles or full moon wine, otherwise the newborn will bump into the child in their womb.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiuyu is pregnant with Mao Mao, so she can only stay at home tomorrow.

"It's okay, we sisters don't care about those fake things." Dong Bao smiled, "You take good care of it at home, and I will ask my mother to pick some good dishes for you and send them to your home."

Zhang Xiuyu nodded happily, then suddenly reached out and pinched Dong Bao's nose, blinked and said with a smirk: "You're going to get married tomorrow, I'll have to shame you today!"

She also did it for revenge. When she got married, Dong Bao had shamed her a lot, and she blushed so much that she wanted to bleed in return.

"Forget it!" Mrs. Li smiled from the side, "She's just shameless, she just wants to go out and marry Da Shi, the more you shame her, the more energetic she will be!"

Dong Bao pouted, "Look at what you said, what have I become!" No matter how much she hated marriage, she didn't hate what Li Shi said.

In the evening, Mrs. Li cooked a large table of dishes, and the whole family sat around. Mr. Yan also opened a jar of wine, and everyone except Xiaodong poured a glass.

"You will get married tomorrow." Lord Yan said with some sighs, "Tonight is the last meal at home." From now on, Dongbao will be the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, and when she returns to this home, she will be a guest, not a guest. master.

Xiaodong is still young, so he doesn't quite understand what his parents, brothers and sisters are feeling sad about. He raises his little head, looks at this for a while, and looks at that for a while, and secretly dips his finger in the wine in front of his brother. His small eyes and nose are so hot. Twisted into a ball, tears are coming out hot.Xiao Xu is also a little sad, he is no longer a child, and understands what it means for his sister to marry, and he will no longer be able to live together like this now, nor can he see each other every day.

"I will definitely study hard in the future." Xiao Xu said solemnly, "When I pass the Juren and Jinshi exams, no one will dare to bully you!" elder sister?
In order to ease the atmosphere at the table, Dong Bao said with a smile: "It's not enough to just be a Jinshi, you have to be a number one scholar or something."

Xiao Xu also laughed, nodded and said, "I'll try my best, can't I do my best?"

Mrs. Li was so sad that she didn't speak, her eyes were always red, and she couldn't get enough of Dong Bao. The only spiritual support she had in the Song family for more than ten years was Dong Bao, who accompanied her. After going through the most difficult days, if Youfu hadn't given birth to such a smart daughter, she would have been eaten by the Song family without bones left. How could she have such a good life today.

Even though her daughter married the Lin family, she knew everything about it, but she was still not at ease. When she got emotional, she wanted to not marry her daughter at all, and just keep her by her side for the rest of her life.

After dinner, night fell. Dong Bao went back to the kitchen to bring water into the house to take a bath. After taking a bath, he sat by the window and slowly dried his hair. When he was about to go to sleep, Mrs. Li came in.

"You're getting married tomorrow, mother has something to tell you." Li said with a smile.

Dong Bao hurriedly made room on the bed, and said with a smile, "Mother, sit down and talk."

She thought Mrs. Li was going to tell her about three obediences and four virtues, telling her to respect her in-laws and serve her husband well after she married, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Li blushed and hesitated for a long time before opening her mouth and talking about "intercourse".

Li Shi, who has been married twice, is more shy than Dong Bao, the big girl with yellow flowers, and her voice is as low as a mosquito humming. Whatever happens to him, you will suffer..."

Originally, Dong Bao didn't think there was anything wrong, and she knew what was going on, but seeing Li Shi being so shy, she also blushed, and when Li Shi finished speaking, she quickly waved her hands and said, "Okay, okay, I see ..."

Mrs. Li sighed in melancholy, she didn't know if the girl really knew, or if she was too shy to want to know, just make jokes when she was in the bridal chamber.
