The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 25, Chapter 24

After entering the school, Bai Gui's reputation is known to almost everyone in Bailu Village. Everyone knows that he studied under Xu Xiucai, and changed his appearance from the poor and poor boy in the past to a scholar who has read poetry and books.

It should not be said to be like, but should be said to be a scholar.

Unlike other people's Mengtong's status as a scholar, Bai Gui's status as a scholar is recognized as a scholar, and he has great hopes to be on the list and become a scholar.

In less than two months, such a big change has taken place.

"You don't know, um, when I went for a stroll at the entrance of the village today, Widow Wang gave our family three eggs, saying that I would give them to you to nourish your brain..."

Taking advantage of Bai Gui's spare time studying, Bai Youde weaves baskets out of rattan, his face is full of dimples, and because of his smile, he is a little younger than when he was in Lu's house, like a real man in his 40s.

"Dad, hey (biao three times) said, I don't want to get engaged."

Bai Gui frowned, put down his brush, and said.

Unexpectedly, she was forced to marry by her parents in her previous life, and her family is better off in this life, but she was also forced to marry by her parents.Under the fine silver coins that are exposed from time to time between his fingers, the life of the Bai family changes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I used to eat bran swallowed vegetables, but now I can eat more steamed buns.

This is better than many families.

Thinking about food and clothing, after solving the most basic problems of food and clothing, Bai Youde began to worry about his marriage.

"Baby, it's not that Dad said you. The test of talent is still a matter of nothing. There are so many families in our village who are optimistic about you, so you should take advantage of this opportunity to make a marriage first. Even if you fail the test, your father-in-law will not regret it." , Whoever dares to go back on his word and withdraw the marriage will lose his reputation, and if he doesn't talk about his own family affairs, the patriarch will not be able to spare this disaster..."

"The Widow Wang's family has two acres of paddy fields, eight acres of dry land, and five liang of dowry... If the Widow Wang hadn't been determined to find a scholar who is educated and reasonable, she would have already made a good marriage. The Widow Wang said, as long as you get engaged, These are all yours."

Bai Youde tried his best to persuade him.

Retiring a marriage is an incredible thing under the feudal ethics.

Not only will it ruin his own family style, but it will also ruin the family style of Bailu Village.From then on, if other villages want to marry a girl from Bailu Village, they need to be more cautious. If Bailu Village wants to marry a girl from another village, other villages will hesitate...

Because the name of the village of benevolence and righteousness hung on the archway of Bailu Village, this name was inscribed by Mr. Zhu, and he enjoyed a lot of benefits invisibly.Whoever has a girl will consider Bailu Village, and the Shaoshao customers who come out of Bailu Village are also the most trustworthy.

Therefore, once there are women and men who corrupt the family style, the people in the same village cannot bear it.

Bai Gui thought for a while and understood Bai Youde's thoughts.

It is still unknown whether he will pass the exam or not.

Marrying the girl to him in advance is equivalent to an investment.As long as he is a scholar, then everyone will be prosperous.But if he doesn't win the scholar, it will be considered a loss.

But if he has already been selected as a scholar, this lintel... like Widow Wang's family will not be able to step on it, and he must be at least a wealthy family such as the Lu family and the Bai family to marry his daughter to him.

Whether a gamble will succeed or not is yet to be determined.

"Your father has already inquired about it. The scholar masters in the nearby villages all engaged in marriage before the imperial examination. Don't be suspicious. The matchmaker has already said that the scholar who did not take the exam is the most precious. , is a big girl who is not yet married. If she is a scholar who is taking the exam for the second time, she will have a pair of broken shoes..."

Bai Youde said.

In his mind, it was right for his son to worry about fame.But getting engaged now doesn't affect anything.

Although it is said that Widow Wang's daughter is not worthy of Mr. Xiucai, this is not necessarily true. Besides, the girl from the wealthy family must be much better than the girl from Widow Wang's family.

If he doesn't seize this golden opportunity, he is afraid that Bai Gui will be a bachelor for the rest of his life, or he will marry someone who is far worse than the current engagement, then he will regret it to death.

"Don't worry about this matter first, wait for a few more days to think about it, and then talk about it after you figure it out."

Bai Gui frowned, but did not forcefully change Bai Youde's mind.

In other words, the thoughts in Bai Youde's mind are the truly normal thoughts in this era, and there is nothing wrong with it.

As for him, his ideas are not in line with the present.

Normally, a scholar like him would follow the practice respected by people for thousands of years.

After all, no one can guarantee that he will pass the exam...

But he is not, as long as there are no mistakes, he will definitely win!

At this time, the engagement is a loss!

Although it is said that marriage does not advocate any kind of marriage, but if it is not a free love, everyone should consider the marriage.

Bai Gui glanced at the house.

A thatched cottage without even a courtyard wall, incomplete pots and pans...

"Okay, okay! It's good if you can figure it out, I'll call the matchmaker back later, let me prepare first."

Bai Youde rubbed his hands with excitement.

He knows that he can't compare with Bai Gui in terms of knowledge, so apart from being able to take a little bit of the initiative in matters of marriage, Bai Gui is more assertive than him in other matters. After all, he is a scholar, and storytellers say that scholars do not go out Then you will know the affairs of the world.

Mr. Zhu in the county town is regarded as a god by the villagers.Which family has lost its chicken or cow, you only need to ask Mr. Zhu, and you can know when it will come to Yunyu, just ask Mr. Zhu, too.

As the saying goes, home and everything prosper.

Bai Gui always thought that this sentence was wrong and should be changed to "everything prospers when the family is rich."

Poor and lowly couples mourn for everything, whether it is marital problems or other problems, they can all be attributed to economic problems.

As long as the family has money, the lintel is high.

Bai Youde, who has always been simple and honest, will definitely "hate the poor and love the rich", thinking that the daughter of Widow Wang's family is not good enough for his son, so he vetoes this marriage.

Money is the guts.

The children of rich families in the same class, no one urged to get engaged, because they had the confidence to accept the failure of the imperial examination, and the family did not have to worry about a matchmaker.

A day or two later, taking advantage of Bai Gui's ten-day holiday, he went out for a spring outing with Zhou Yuan.

Due to family reasons, the Lu brothers and the Bai brothers also formed a circle with Bai Gui and Zhou Yuan. This is the circle of top students in the school.So we agreed to go for an outing together.

It is almost spring at this time, although it is not yet the end of the year, but everything is gradually recovering, the grass grows and warblers fly, the snow scene of the Qinling Mountains in the distance blends with the spring scene nearby, and the sound of water pouring northward is heard The sound of running water is beautiful.

There are poems as evidence: Where is Yunheng Qinling's home?Snow embraces blue and stands still.
