The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 154
Although it is said to be leftovers, in fact, what is kept is good meat, which is also an unwritten rule of holding banquets in the village.

Afterwards, some relatively intact fish and meat will be given to those who came to help, as well as close relatives.

With this effort, Fang Qingqing said that she would not let her brothers go to pick herbs in the future.

"My mother-in-law's elder sister and the others did this business. My mother-in-law felt guilty and felt sorry for her, so she asked me to bring some things to my parents."

Anyway, they will know in the future, instead of knowing it from others, it is better to say it first to avoid conflicts with the family.

In front of her natal family, besides the facts, of course some rhetoric should be added.

"Going into the mountains to collect herbs and steaming and drying them is very hard work, and you can't earn much money, but the fourth brother is flexible. He can help the eldest brother and sister-in-law to sell more tofu than before, and the business is better than before. I think he is the one. blocks.

Mother, our family does not lack that kind of labor force, and the work in the field is completely done by someone.

Maybe scholars will look down on doing business, but in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with being a businessman.

They all rely on their own hands to fill their stomachs, and the family members live a good life after earning money. What's wrong? "

After staying at the old Fang's house for a full hour, Fang Qingqing left and talked a lot with her parents.

Fourth Fang often goes to the county town, but sees each other often. Now Fang Qingqing is relieved to see that the family is doing well.

When she returned to Li's house, she found that Mrs. Li's sister-in-law and Mrs. Li's second sister-in-law had already packed up her things very actively, and she wished she could go back to the county right now.

Early tomorrow morning, the shop will be able to reopen.

Anyway, the sons and daughters-in-law are busy with these things, no matter how bad the old man Saburo is, he can help from the side, and Li's mother doesn't care about these things.

Just like her, the third daughter-in-law, who was the most leisurely, talked about an important matter.

Fang Qingqing was stunned, no matter whether she was mother-in-law or mother-in-law, they all regarded her as a caring little padded jacket, and liked to ask her to relieve any worries?
But what the mother-in-law asked her to discuss was indeed a major matter, which was related to Li Xiaomei's life.

With a big sigh, Shi said: "I used to worry that my little sister would not marry well and no one would come to propose marriage. This time, some people came to me to inquire, but it also made me worry."

Inquiring about the younger sister's marriage at this juncture, and obviously when the family went back to their hometown to hold a wine, Fang Qingqing had a bottom line in her heart.

But she smelled it seriously: "Mother, what is the situation of those families, or if you tell me, I will help you as a staff officer?"

In the past, Shi Shi was most proud of her daughter-in-law, of course, she liked to discuss with Mrs. Li all the big and small matters at home and abroad.

Now, I know that Mrs. Li's knowledge of some things may not be comparable to that of the younger third daughter-in-law.

At the very least, Qingqing has read the book and traveled to the provincial capital, and she must have seen more people and things than the elders.

So, Shi Shi explained to Fang Qingqing one by one the situation of the families that had recently been entrusted to her.

The family conditions of these few families are not bad, they have fields and land, one of them has a shop in the town and the other is a well-known big landlord.

According to the situation of the Li family in the past, any family would be a high priority for Li Xiaomei.

The little girl was just plain-looking, and the family didn't have any money to prepare a generous dowry for her. Even if there was a shop in the town who wanted to propose marriage to the little girl, Shi Shi thought it was a good family.

Now, it's not that Shi Shi's heart is high, it's San Lang who told her:
"Mother, from today onwards, the lintel of our Li family is different. So we need to be more thoughtful when doing things."

For Shi Shi, the biggest thing now is the lifelong event of the younger sister.

One girl is already bad, she doesn't want to delay the other girl's life happiness, she always wants to choose a better family for her.

On the surface, the family has land, land and money, so it is considered a good family, right?

Also as a woman, Shi Shi understands that being a married woman is different from being a girl at home in many ways.

Some big families do things, but they don't necessarily have the reliability of small families.

These few families revealed their intention to marry the younger sister, Shi Shi tossed and turned on the bed that night and couldn't fall asleep.

As a result, the old man woke up the dreamer with a word:

"Think about why those people want to marry a younger sister at this time. What have you been doing before?"

Yes, for what?

Wasn't it because seeing that San Lang of their family was valued by the county magistrate, at this time they want to get married with their family, because they want to take advantage of San Lang's power in the future.

And this point, Li Xiuping has already told his family very carefully after learning the news that he won the election.

"I won the exam this time and I am the first name Jieyuan. After hearing the news, many people may come to their homes to give gifts. Parents, please don't accept anything."

At that time, Li's father and Li's mother thought it strange that the neighbors would accept some fish and meat, so why can't they accept some heavy gifts?

"Father and mother, think about it, for no reason, why do others give you gifts? They are just building momentum and paving the way for human relationships first.

Now that I have just won the exam, I can't promise anyone any benefits. Next year, my son will definitely go to Beijing to participate in Chunwei.

Among other things, my son is confident that he can get a ranking in the general examination, and maybe even become an official.

At that time, others will come to me with the gift list from the past, do you think I will do it or not?

Accepting gifts from others is always a guilty conscience, even if you don't do bad things like murder and arson, it will affect your son's future.

So parents, don't worry, when your son is successful, he will take you to the capital to be filial. "

On this point, old man Li has a longer-term view than the old woman:
"They don't like the younger sister at all. They just want to get married with Master Juren, so they want to get married. Qi Dafei, just marry the younger sister in such a hurry, and it will be your daughter who will suffer in the future."

What the old man said scared Shi Shi so much that he didn't close his eyes for the rest of the night, and dragged Fang Qingqing to the backyard early the next morning to pick vegetables and talk small things.

Originally, Shi even told the third daughter-in-law what the old man had said.

Unexpectedly, Fang Qingqing thought for a moment, but went to call Li Xiaomei who was feeding the chickens.

In front of Shi Shi, he asked directly: "Little sister, this is a major event that affects your whole life, what do you think?"

Shi Shi didn't expect Fang Qingqing to do this. Since ancient times, what she said was "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker". There is no reason for children to make decisions on matters of marriage.

But she also felt that the third daughter-in-law was right.

The one who really wants to marry and live in the past is Li Xiaomei herself, so shouldn't she ask her what she means?
