The charming girl of the farm gate of crossing

Chapter 1918 What does the sixth child see?
He Xiner, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling, was not afraid of the severe cold, and walked and played all the way, full of interest.

The weather is really cold, there are not many people walking on the street, and when I meet two people occasionally, they are all in a hurry, wishing to fly back home, so there is only He Xiner on the whole street Walk through it without haste.

When they arrived at the intersection of Shimen Street, two carriages came opposite. The spacious carriages were a little old, and the green cloth curtains were only [-]% new.

He Xiner was never interested in passing vehicles. The reason why she noticed this was because Xiao Yu had just mentioned it to her, and she subconsciously determined that the carriage was going to He's residence.

Could it be from the He family?
She hid aside, looked at the carriage curiously, and just met the eyes of the people in the car behind.

It was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, presumably he lifted the curtain to look at the road, and she happened to be standing by the road, so his eyes fell on her.

He Xiner was slightly embarrassed, and then smiled at him.

In this cold weather, it is not easy for people to come here. As the host, you should welcome them warmly.

However, they are all male relatives, and the males in their own families and the housekeeper and others receive them. She just expresses her friendship and it will be fine.

So, He Xiner, who had fully expressed her friendship with the same clan, went there anyway.

But he didn't know that her smile almost hooked Zhou Zu'an's soul.

That's right, the person's surname is not He, but Zhou, who is from the old lady's natal family, and is her youngest nephew, the sixth eldest, named Zhou Zu'an.

The 16-year-old Zhou Zuan is a scholar with fair complexion and delicate features. He looks like a gentle scholar, but he is not a good-tempered one.

The family of the old lady’s elder brother Zhou Zhenliang can be described as prosperous. He has two sons and two daughters under his knees. Not to mention married women, there are 14 grandchildren, six grandsons, eight granddaughters, and five great-grandchildren. Two boys, three girls.

And Zhou Zu'an can be said to be the most favored among the many descendants.

Not for anything else, just because he reads well.

The old lady and Zhou Zhenliang's father used to be an official to the fifth rank. Later, with Mr. Zhou's resignation, the Zhou family gradually lost without successors.

Mr. Zhou himself was born in a farming and studying family. He changed his destiny by studying on his own. He knows the importance of studying, and he has worked hard for the education of his children and grandchildren.

But it's strange to say that the entire Zhou family's descendants are prosperous, but none of them are good at studying, and the Zhou family gradually declines.

But Mr. Zhou confessed on his deathbed that no matter how difficult life is for the Zhou family’s descendants, they must provide for the males to study. From his point of view, as long as one of them passes the exam, they can bring up a family. Cultivate scholars from generation to generation.

As a concubine, Zhou Zhenliang didn't get much of the family property, so it was impossible to raise a large family and provide for the boys to study.

Fortunately, he has a younger sister who is married to a merchant, that is, Mrs. He, who has been helping her natal family for many years, so that the six Zhou Zu'an brothers can have books to read.

But Zhou Zu'an's five older brothers were all unreadable for studying, which made him stand out more and more. He passed the boy's test at the age of 14. Although he was not the youngest boy student in the whole Fucheng, he was still well-known in the Fucheng government school.

Zhou Zu'an, who stood out from a group of useless materials, was naturally the most favored one in the family, and even Mrs. He loved him a lot.

The old lady is very optimistic about him, and she is counting on him to enter the official career as soon as possible and revive the Zhou family.

Having a natal family with official status is a matter of face.

It was said that the carriage had already passed by He Xiner, Zhou Zuan was still looking around with the curtain on the door, his face was full of meaning, the boss Zhou Zurong beside him said casually with the corners of his lips curled up, "What is the sixth child looking at? In this cold day, Could it be that there are still little beauties waiting for you on the street?"
