Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 174 Junye's engagement (plus more)
Busy and busy, finally arrived at Chunlan to get married.After returning to the door, the young couple set off for the capital. It was really time for the business to open in the capital.Fang Yun gave Shunzi the prescriptions for those common medicines, and asked him to make the medicine himself when the time comes.Sometimes, proper decentralization will play a better role.

It was already warm outside in mid-February.It was decided that Erlang and Bowen would go to the Tongsheng Examination, and Mr. Chen accompanied them to the county seat.Originally Yun Song was going to follow, but the family was getting busy, so Mr. Chen led him away.The marriage between Da Lang and the third miss of the Yue family has been settled, and the two sides have discussed it, and the dowry will be given on March [-]th.

Xue Jinyu went back to Fucheng, and Bilian stayed behind with her daughter, she was waiting for news from her son.

This year's Qingming Festival is earlier, on February 24th.After the Qingming Festival, it becomes warmer and warmer outside day by day. People have changed their cotton-padded clothes and put on jackets.In spring in the north, the wind is still relatively strong. In the cold spring, Erlang and Bowen returned to Yanjiang Village.

When Fang and Bi Lian saw their son coming back, they embraced happily, while Mr. Chen stood behind and looked at the two mothers with a smile. "Auntie, both Junwei and Bowen have passed the exam. One of them is fifth and the other is ninth. They both ranked very high."

This time, Fang was overjoyed, "Thank you sir, how could the children do so well in the exam without his teaching. Please come in quickly, sir, and eat here at noon, and I will cook for him."

"Auntie, don't be too busy. I have been out for more than [-] days, and my family is very anxious, so I will go home first. There will be a government examination in April, and I will not be able to accompany you. According to Bowen, his family It's in Fucheng, when the time comes, I'll hear their good news. Auntie, farewell." Mr. Chen turned around and got into the carriage, the driver whipped the carriage, and the carriage left.

"This Mr. Chen is really true, and I won't even leave him for a meal. Forget it, wait a few days, back up the gift, and send it over." Bi Lian and Fang led the children into the house.

Some people in the village heard that Erlang had passed the county test, so they came to congratulate him. Fang smiled and persuaded everyone to go back. "Erlang has just passed the first exam, and there are government exams and hospital exams. Even if he passed all the exams, it's nothing. In our village, he is still a junior. All uncles and aunts, you should go back. Well. If the ancestors of the old Tong family are blessed, Erlang will come back one day after taking the examination of a Jinshi. At that time, we will set him up for three days and three nights. Now he is just a kid, and he doesn’t need to work for you.” At the beginning, Fang Xin After passing the Jinshi examination, the family didn't say anything about celebrating.This Erlang just passed the first test, so he really shouldn't be too ostentatious.

After hearing Fang's words, everyone stopped talking and went back.Only then did Fang breathe a sigh of relief, she really didn't want to put too much pressure on the children.Erlang and Bowen are very happy with Fang's handling this way, they don't want people coming and going at home every day.They have to come out to thank others when people come to congratulate them, which will delay their studies too much.The government test was in April, and it is now March.I don't have much time, so I have to read and study quickly, and I don't have the time to socialize.

Fang's just made two extra dishes at night, and didn't cook much delicious food with much fanfare.This is the most difficult time for farmers, and the vegetables in the cellar have long been uneatable.The only edible ones are the dried vegetables and pickles that were dried in the sun last summer. At this time, the daughter-in-law of a family can tell by being diligent.What the Tong family eats now are dried beans and eggplants that are dried in the summer, mustard greens that are pickled in autumn, and the pickles are crunchy, and they are delicious when chopped and fried.There are also radish strips, washed with water, mixed with clear sauce and seasoning, and added some chili noodles, everyone eats well.There are also dried monkey legs, thorn sprouts and so on, all of which come in handy at this time.

The bean sprouts couldn't grow anymore. The weather was warm and the temperature was difficult to control. Fang had already ruined several tanks of bean sprouts.So it stopped completely and no longer bean sprouts.Yuxian knew in her heart that this was because there were too many harmful bacteria in the house after a winter.As long as summer is over, it will be no problem to grow bean sprouts in autumn.

Fortunately, the river has opened, and Yun Song can catch some fish from time to time, so he can also add some dishes.The children also occasionally go into the mountains to get a few rabbits and so on, so the Tong family's dinner table is still good.

During the meal, Fang caught some fish for the two children, "Eat more, reading books will waste your brain, and I will make more delicious food for you in the future, to make up for it."

The two children didn't say anything, and hurriedly finished eating and went to read a book.

Yun Song intends to open up the wasteland first. At this time, the land is not fully melted, so he can't do anything else, but it is possible to clean up the wasteland. "Tomorrow I plan to find someone to help open up the wasteland. Since I'm idle at home now, it's easy to find someone. After the wasteland is opened, I have to dig a pond. Didn't Yuxian say that I will raise toads this year? Then we have to hurry up gone."

"Yeah, spring is busy, and before spring plowing starts, we can do the best we can." Fang also agreed.

"Sister, I have to go back to Fucheng when Dalang's dowry is over. Erlang and Bowen happen to go with me, and it's convenient to live in my house." month.Mrs. Wu had already returned home, and Bilian went to live in Xijiang Village for a while.

"Success, let's go back. I'm relieved to have you here." Mrs. Fang also agreed with Bilian to go back.

"Eldest sister, how much do you plan to give Da Lang's dowry? Too little doesn't look good." Yue's family is also a prominent figure in the town, and his daughter's dowry is so small that it makes people laugh.

"Let's give 200 taels as the dowry gift. Our family can afford these. I'll take time to go to the town to prepare the rest." When Shuzhen got engaged, the dowry gift was only five taels. Now, with the dowry gift of 200 taels, she wants to come to the Yue family Can't pick anything out either.This is enough for the bride price of forty rural girls.

"OK, let's get ready when we find time."

In the following days, the Tong family began to be busy opening up wasteland.There is more than 200 mu of wasteland outside the forest that I bought at the beginning.Yunsong plans to open all of them, and it would be good to plant some beans. This year, we have planted a lot of animals. If there is nothing to feed, it will not work.Yun Song recruited a lot of helpers from the village, and they paid him 20 Wen a day, and he also took care of two meals at noon and evening.The men in the village are all idle now, and more than [-] people came at once.

Fang asked Yun Song to kill a pig. The work of opening up wasteland was tiring, and it would be impossible without oil and water.I kept the meat for two days, and salted the rest. Now the meat can’t be kept for a long time, so I eat it slowly after being marinated.Dalang and the others also went up the mountain to open up wasteland, and even Yuxian went.She can't do much, just go and have a look, and then plan in her mind what will be planted on this piece of land.

When the wasteland was finished, Yun Song led the men to dig a pond along the small river.When the forest was bought, the river was included, so no one would object to Yuxian's family digging a pond.Yuxian's plan is to dig three ponds in a row, each of which is about three or four acres, and the distance between them should be more than one and a half miles.There is no rush in this job, just do it slowly.

Fang's and Chunmei Chunxing have to prepare meals for many people every day, and their backs are so tired.Bilian asked Yuxian to help look after the children, and she went to help too.Zixuan and Xue Ping followed Xue Jinyu away, leaving Xue An, his wife and a girl to serve Bilian.A few days ago, Ziling was pregnant again, so she didn't dare to let her do too tiring work, anyway, none of the women in the family was idle.

On the twelfth day of the third month, Fang and Bilian went to the town to prepare everything for the betrothal gift.In addition, I bought a set of red gold jewelry for the Yue family girl, and the best materials for the clothes, which were custom-made at the tailor.

On March [-]th, Yunsong and his wife, Bilian, Yunfeng, Dalang and the matchmaker, Mrs. Sun, went to the town together, but Yuxian did not follow this time.Now for the betrothal gift, the man not only has to go to the parents, but also has to have relatives.After all, Yun Bai, Yun Feng, and Yun Hua are Da Lang's uncles, and they should all go, but Jun Li of Yun Hua's family is too young to be separated from others, Yun Bai is always out of tune, and Yun Song also looks at him. If you can't go to him, the two families can't go.No matter how tense the fight with the people in the old house was, at a time like this, you have to have relatives. This is the role of the family.The constraints of this era make it impossible for people to break away from the shackles of the family.Of course, the Fang family also called Fang Yun, and agreed to meet up in front of Juxian Tower.

Boss Yue's house is not far from Juxian Tower, a three-entry house.Fang Yun met Fang's and the others in front of Juxian Building, and then they went to Yue's house together.The concierge had known for a long time that Tong's family was coming today, so when he saw a carriage coming towards his door, he hurriedly sent someone in to report it.When the carriage arrived, the door of the Yue family opened, and Yue Guangzong led his wife to welcome him outside.

Fang and others got out of the carriage, took down all the hired things, and then, led by Yue Guangzong, went to the living room.Everyone sat down as guests and hosts. At this time, the matchmaker, Mrs. Sun, showed the Yue family the things brought by the Tong family.When Lin saw that the Tong family had prepared a set of gold jewelry for her daughter and gave her a dowry of 200 taels, she was very happy. "Dear family, your betrothal gift is top-notch even in the town. I haven't heard of any girl who only pays 200 taels for the betrothal gift. These are really a bit much, well, let me not say it is superfluous. I won't move this money, and I will bring it all back when the time comes, and I won't ask you to pay so much money."

"This is our wish. Jun Ye is the eldest son. In the future, he will have to support the family. We will do our best, and we must not let the in-laws lose face and let people say that the young lady of the Yue Mansion married a pauper. Besides, If it weren't for the in-laws who took care of us before and bought our fruit wine, our life would not be so fast. Since we have become in-laws, we have to think more about it." Fang said to Lin with a smile.

The Yue family was very satisfied with the betrothal gift, and the two parties exchanged Geng Tie, and Grandma Sun wrote a marriage letter to each of them, and both parties kept a copy.

"At noon today, let's go to Juxianlou. I left an empty table there, and the cook at home is not that good." Yue Guangzong said.Everyone had no opinion and agreed.

　It was not easy to get out a new one.During the closure and push period, there will probably be three shifts.
