It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 543 Preparing to propose marriage
Meng Mingzhou sat behind the desk and watched Ren Yanjun analyze the reasons for Su Chenrui. He was very satisfied, knocked on the table to interrupt them and said, "Yan Jun is right, the simpler the situation, the easier it is to get good grades. In the case of the same correct answer, the handwriting must be better, and the content must be richer."

Su Chenrui and Meng Mingxu lowered their heads, "Big brother-in-law/brother, Chen Rui/Mingxu remember."

Meng Mingzhou didn't want to preach to them, so he waved his hand when he saw that they understood, "Go back and rest, Yan Jun stays here."

Ren Yanjun was not nervous when asked about the exam, but he was alone with Su Ying's brother-in-law at this time, feeling very nervous for no reason.

Meng Mingzhou pointed to the chair opposite the desk, and motioned, "Don't be nervous, sit down and let's chat."

Ren Yanjun sat down obediently, "General Meng, I'm not nervous, what do you want to ask?"

Meng Mingzhou smiled, "You still say you're not nervous? This is starting to talk about you..."

Ren Yanjun, "I..."

Mingzhou asked while drinking tea, "Do you still remember your promise?"

Ren Yanjun said anxiously, "I, I remember."

Meng Mingzhou nodded, and took out a piece of paper from under the book and handed it to him, "Well, there are a few good days next month, I asked someone to check, they are all good, suitable for getting married."

Ren Yanjun was surprised, "Huh?"

Meng Mingzhou stood up, patted him on the shoulder, "Choose carefully."

"Well, I, I will choose well."

Ren Yanjun looked at the few days on the paper, the corner of his mouth turned up, he, he can propose to marry Su Ying...

Meng Mingzhou looked at the person in front of him, dumbfounded, shook his head with a broken smile, and walked out.

Three days later was the day when the exam results would be announced. During the three days waiting for the announcement, Ren Yanjun was not idle. On the first day, he went to his elder brother Ren Yanping and his sister-in-law Ye Xiu to explain the whole story.

"Brother, sister-in-law, that's the way it is, I, I want to get engaged next month..."

"okay."

Ren Yanping and Ye Xiu looked at Ren Yanjun with such expressions.

Ren Yanjun felt that the elder brother and sister-in-law had a wrong attitude, why were they so calm?Then he came to his senses and said in surprise, "Brother, sister-in-law, do you know?"

Ren Yanping nodded, "Ah, I see. I found out when the general's wife invited us to dinner during the Chinese New Year. I wanted to ask, but I was afraid of delaying your studies, so I didn't ask."

Ye Xiu also calmly took a sip of the tea Su Rui gave her this morning, the newly brewed tea, um, it's a good tea.

"Well, the most important thing is that I also found that the general's wife has long seen the eye contact between you and Miss Su Er, and she didn't object. As soon as I told your elder brother, he completely ignored it..."

Ren Yanjun, "...Then, what about my engagement?"

Ren Yanping smiled, "Don't worry, your sister-in-law and I have already prepared the money for your engagement."

After a pause, he continued, "It's just that I don't know if Miss Su Er dislikes it or not..."

Ye Xiu gave Yan Ping a white look, "Miss Su, no, it should be said that the girls of the Su family are not that kind of snobbish people, otherwise how could the general's wife agree with Yan Jun and Miss Su?"

After thinking about it, Ye Xiu continued, "Okay, leave the engagement to me. I'll talk to the general's wife tomorrow."

Ren Yanjun stood up and made a big salute, "Then please trouble my sister-in-law."

Ye Xiu waved her hand, "Hey, what's the trouble? You and Miss Su can get along well, and your elder brother and I can rest assured..."

The next morning, as soon as Meng Mingzhou left, the girl came to report that Ye Xiu had come. Su Rui knew why Ye Xiu had come. Meng Mingzhou had already told her, and he handed over the day he had chosen to Ren Yanjun.

Yes, the days are specially chosen by Su Rui.

Although Su Rui always felt that it is not a good thing for a woman to get married early and get pregnant early, but in this dynasty, especially after she became the general's wife, she learned from many officials and family members how unfair this world is to women. Marriage is taken for granted, but if you marry late, or get engaged late, then some wives' saliva can drown that woman.

She doesn't care about anyone's gossip, but her younger siblings are pure ancients, and she has to think about them.

Besides, Su Ying is sixteen. In this dynasty, she is really not young. Not to mention that there are many people who are married, there are really few people at her age who are not engaged...
Seeing Ye Xiu come in, Su Rui stood up enthusiastically and said, "Sister Ye, sit down quickly."

He also ordered, "Chunhua, hurry up and pour tea for Mrs. Ye."

"Yes."

Chunhua promised, but she was impatient in her heart. She was just an embroiderer, how much higher was her status than them?Why can she get courtesy?
Ye Xiu came in and saluted first before she spoke, "Ma'am, I'm here for Yan Jun's business."

Su Rui helped her up with a smile, "Sister-in-law Ye, you're welcome to get up quickly, and you don't need to call me madam, just call me by my name."

Ye Xiu hurriedly waved her hands, "No, no, this is the rule. You are the general's wife, I should salute, and it is even more appropriate to call you the general's wife..."

Su Rui is very satisfied with Ye Xiu's attitude, she didn't get flustered because Su Ying and Ren Yanjun were going to get engaged, in this case, she would be relieved when Su Ying married into their Ren family...

Ye Xiu took the tea brought by Chunhua, took a sip, put it aside, and said to Su Rui with a smile, "Ma'am, I have saved some money with Yan Jun and his elder brother, and plan to buy him a house, how big do you think it is?" , and where to buy it?"

Su Rui thought it was funny. Ye Xiu was trying to test her. She knew that the two of them had saved more than 100 taels in the past few years, and they definitely couldn't buy the big ones, so she smiled and said, "Is it just in the north of the city? You probably don't have that much money." Is it enough for Ren Yanjun to live in the house once he enters the courtyard? The main reason is that the price of houses in the north of the city is not as high as that in the south of the city, and the west of the city is more expensive, but it is safer than the east of the city.”

Su Rui deliberately said that Ren Yanjun lived alone because she really didn't want her younger sister to live with her elder brother and sister-in-law... No matter how good the personality is, living together for a long time will cause many conflicts, so they You can buy a house next door, but a yard is fine.

Ye Xiu and Ren Yanping also thought so, they really never thought that Ren Yanjun would live with them after they got married, then smiled and said, "Well, Ma'am, you know that Brother Yanjun and I have never been to Zhoucheng before, I came to Zhoucheng with you and the general last year, and I haven’t been out much, so I don’t know how to buy a house.”

Su Rui laughed when she heard the words, "It's simple. Mingzhou met a reliable middleman who can help people with everything. He helped buy the houses of my two brothers. I will ask Steward Wang to take care of the middleman in a while. Let me tell you the address of the person, you just go to him."

Ye Xiu nodded, "Yes, I do have a lot of things that I need someone to help with."

After seeing Ye Xiu off, Su Rui called Su Ying, "Ren Yanjun's sister-in-law came to me today and said that she wanted to buy a house for Ren Yanjun, but she didn't have much money, so she might only be able to buy a house for the first time. Qiaoer and the others live in a big yard."

"what do you think?"

Su Ying's ears turned red, she looked at Su Rui and said, "Sister, I don't care..."

Su Rui looked at Su Ying without speaking for a while, thinking that she was still young, and when she got older, she would know that material things are far more important than feelings. However, seeing Su Ying's appearance of falling in love for the first time, Su Rui was helpless. Sighed, "I hope you don't care about it in the future..."

After hearing the words, Su Ying thought for a while, and then said firmly, "Sister, I believe that Yan Jun will not let me live in the small house forever..."

"····Fine."
