On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Qi Xian, Tong Yang, and Lin Er came back from Shendu together.

He brought a letter from Zuoqiu Yue.

As usual, the outermost envelope was unsigned and contained two smaller envelopes.One is for Shishi and the other is for Xiao Yan.

One contained five sheets of letter paper, which were filled with writing; the other contained two sheets of letter paper, and one and a half sheets were filled.

Under Xiang Mai and Qi Xian's coaxing, Shisi and Xiao Yan opened the envelope face to face.As a result, the number of letter papers with huge disparity fell into everyone's eyes at a glance.

Fourteen ignored their joking looks and read the letter calmly.

"When I wake up, the branches of plum blossoms are blooming, and the dream returns to the yellow beams, and I suddenly feel that I love you very much."

This is the first sentence at the beginning of the letter.

Fourteen was slightly stunned.

Slowly collected the letter paper, folded it and stuffed it back into the envelope.

"Eh? Why didn't you read it?" Xiang Mai caught her movement, and gossip filled her eyes, "What did you write? Can't you even read it in front of us?"

"Suddenly remembered something." Fourteen faces were serious.

"what's up?"

What's the matter?
Her gaze swept from Xiang Mai to Tong Yang, then back again, and landed on Lin Er.

Seeing that Lin Er was confused: "My lady, what's wrong with me?"

"How old are you this year?" Fourteen asked.

"Ah?" Lin Er replied dumbly, "24, 25 after the Chinese New Year."

"It's time to think about marriage."

"What?"

"You, Lin San, Kang Simu, you are not young anymore, it's time to think about lifelong affairs." Fourteen said, "I heard from Lin San that your elder brother is not yet 30 years old and already has three children. The oldest one is twelve or thirteen years old."

"You are 24, Lin San is 23, it's time for both of you to consider starting a family. Is there anyone you like now? If you have something, you can tell me, and I'll let someone arrange the marriage for you."

"Huh?" Lin Er was confused and confused, why did he suddenly talk about his marriage?
"Are you going to be a matchmaker?" Xiang Mai became interested when he heard it, "Count me in, I also want to experience the feeling of matching people."

"Lin Er, do you have someone you like? Is it in Huangliang County or in Shendu?"

Seeing that her attention was all diverted, Fourteen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Qi Xian and Tong Yang next to him, as long as the marriage was mentioned, they would not participate in it at all.

After reading the letter, Xiao Yan looked at Xiang Mai who was pulling Lin San to ask what kind of person he liked with great interest, and secretly sighed: Master will never be able to take advantage of his mother.

……

Fourteen originally just picked out Lin Er to divert the blame, but he never thought that he actually found out Lin Er's favorite person!
And the reason why he came back from Shendu this time is because the person he likes is also in Huangliang County!

"Who? Whose daughter are you looking for?" Even Qi Xian couldn't help being curious now, "Well, you Lin Er, tell us that you miss your old mother and come back during the Chinese New Year to fulfill your filial piety. Yes. In fact, you came back with another girl, you hid it so deeply!"

"Childhood sweetheart? Or is the other party going back and forth between Shendu and Huangliang like you?" Tong Yang quickly grasped the core of the problem.

"... Their family is in Shendu. This fall, her elder brother will come to Huangliang as an official. She will come to Huangliang with him." Lin Er has already blushed.

"Oh ho ho, okay, you Lin Er!" Xiang Mai almost whistled to cheer, "I heard you say that you two have known each other for a long time, so it's good to hide it."

"Miss... Miss Xiang, please stop teasing me." Lin Er said for mercy, "I'm already thin-skinned, so please let me go."

"Damn." Qi Xian couldn't help saying, "You're so kind, if you have a thin skin, you won't find anyone with a thick skin."

People who have worked so hard in the business district of Shendu for so many years, and who are so happy, have nothing to do with the word "thin-skinned".

Listening to his words, Fourteen thought of the newly appointed magistrate this fall.

"Are you talking about the county magistrate Li Ji's younger sister?" Fourteen asked, "My girlfriend's name is Li Yuan?"

"Miss, do you know her?" Lin Er was surprised.

After the words were out of my mouth, I realized that I asked a stupid question. Li Ji became the parent officer of Huangliang County. How could the lady not know him?

"You know me." Xiang Mai asked Fourteen, "How is that lady? Is it easy to get along with?"

"The temperament is quite easy-going." Fourteen said, "Innocent and lively."

She said so, but she was not optimistic about Lin Er's request to marry Li Yuan.

"How did you two meet?" Fourteen asked, "Tell me in detail."

"Actually... there are no details to talk about." Lin Er was rarely shy, and Qi Xian, who was watching from the side, smiled and rubbed his arms unaccustomed.

The reason why Lin Er and Li Yuan got acquainted was very simple, it was because of Qihuoju.

On the first day of Qihuoju's opening, Li Yuan happened to be wandering around the West Market with his maid.Seeing the bustle in front of Qihuoju, I went to listen to the people next to me explain how amazing and beautiful fireworks are.

While waiting with the long queue, I happened to meet Lin Er who was going to see the opening.She didn't know Lin Er's identity at the time, and seeing that he was able to talk to the shopkeeper of Qihuoju, she even asked him how to make the shopkeeper unlimited purchases, so she wanted to buy more.

Not long after, by chance, the two met again at the hot pot restaurant.

"She went to eat hot pot with some friends, and when she went upstairs, Xiaoer almost poured hot soup on her body, so I pulled her." Lin Eryue said in a lower voice, "Then..."

Then the two met many times in a row because of coincidences in various situations.As time goes by, we see each other right.

"His elder brother came to Huangliang County this autumn to release his post. I made an appointment with her. When I come back during the Chinese New Year, I will come to propose marriage to her."

"My lady." Lin Erqiu said fourteenth, "This marriage, you can decide for me."

Even if Fourteen didn't take the initiative to bring up his marriage today, he originally planned to ask her to decide for himself.Li Yuan is a daughter of an official family, and it is a respect for her to invite Fourteen to propose marriage.

"Does your mother know about this?" Fourteen asked.

"I don't know yet, I plan to tell her when I go back." Lin Erdao, "Lady, my mother said it a few years ago. If possible, the marriage between me and Lin San is entirely up to you."

"You go back and talk to your mother first, and then discuss what to do next." Fourteen did not agree, but said, "If it is convenient, you can bring your mother over here."

The old lady was a very measured person. Except for sending Lin San to her door during the Chinese New Year six years ago, she had never come to look for Shishi, even though her two sons were working under Shishi.

Only in every spring, let Lin San send two big bamboo baskets of pagoda flowers from his own pagoda tree, and let Shisi taste a fresh one.

……

"Master, do you have any doubts about Lin Er's marriage?" Lin Er rushed home immediately after hearing what Fourteen said. After he left, Qi Xian asked.

Based on his understanding of Fourteen, if there is nothing wrong with this marriage, Fourteen should agree to it straight away.

"The new county magistrate Li is from the same family as Mrs. Meng, the wife of Jiedushi."

Shisiyi said that Tong Yang immediately understood.

Huangliang County was originally rich and prosperous, and it has developed rapidly in recent years. In the past six years, two county magistrates have been promoted from here.Serving as a county magistrate in Huangliang County is both a fat job and a blessing job.

So although it is a small official position, it is a position that everyone is vying for, not just anyone can earn it.In particular, some people from big families with relatively inexperienced qualifications who need to be gilded have all set their sights on this position.

Therefore, those who are able to come here for foreign assignments do not have a small background. If they are not thick enough, they will not be able to do it.

From this, it can be guessed that Li Ji is not only from the same clan as Mrs. Meng, but also a key person in the clan.

Scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, Li Ji is a scholar, Lin Er is a merchant.Moreover, the Li family in Longxi is also the most valuable part of the "scholar".

There is a big difference in family status in this marriage.
