Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 156 Set up a marriage
Knowing son is better than mother, which one Xu Xingling likes, mother Xu doesn't know?
As long as he let go, he's going to see that girl.

That was half done.

So after meeting the girl that afternoon, Xu's mother asked Xu Xingling's opinion.

Xu Xingling only said "Mother decides it is", and ran away in despair.

Before it was dark, Xu's mother hurried to ask the girl's family's meaning, to see if she liked her son.

If the girl doesn't like her, then the marriage will not be discussed.

Fortunately, Xu's mother asked anxiously, and finally got the girl's nod.

It seems that the girl is also quite satisfied.

But she explained the reason for her visit, saying that her son will go to the academy tomorrow, otherwise she can hurry up and settle the marriage today.

After that, when the academy was on holiday in June, I asked my son to come back to complete the marriage.

In order to encourage poor students to take scientific examinations, the Dashun Dynasty specially set up two months of agricultural holidays, one in June and the other in November.

The actual holiday time is determined according to the different harvest time in different places.

They live in the south, and there are two kinds of rice a year, and they are harvested at these two times, so Changping prefecture assumes that the farmers are in these two months.

And because Xu's family does not farm, Master Xu was exempted from grain tax as a scholar long after Master Xu was admitted as a scholar.

So every time during the holidays, Xu Xingling is different from most of the students who return to his hometown, he can easily stay in the academy and read.

This time the marriage is very important, and there is a agricultural holiday, so of course I have to come back.

The girl's family also understands that it's only February now, and if they get married in June, there are still four months of preparation time, which is not too urgent.

If you wait for a long time, you may be afraid of saving money.

So this marriage was settled so quickly.

Mother Xu told her son directly when she went back: "Come back to get married in June, and your father and I will take care of other things properly, as long as you come back."

Xu Xingling didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "...Mom, you are too anxious, people thought that something happened to our family, so you are in such a hurry."

"What are you rushing for?" Xu's mother was dissatisfied, "Wait a little longer, you are already eighteen."

Seeing that Xu's mother was about to start again, Xu Xingling had no choice but to shut up and admit the marriage.

On the second day, he prepared his luggage, and sure enough, he saw a mule cart that was going to take him to the academy at the intersection below.

After the time for returning to the academy was set, he told Shen Chenlan about the time in advance.

Brother Shen made arrangements quickly, in such a hurry, he was able to find the mule cart so quickly.

He first moved some scrolls up, followed by two large boxes of snacks, a bundle of clothes, and some scraps of silver on the road. The scraps of silver were put in the pockets sewn into the coat so that they would not fall out easily.

Seeing that he was moving slowly, the driver couldn't see him, so he came over and picked it up, and put two big food boxes on the car.

Then I asked him: "Is there anything else? If not, let's start."

He nodded, looked back at his parents standing on the small slope, and waved them back.

……

The New Year in Huatian Village is going smoothly this time. Many people eat fish and look forward to having more in the coming year.

Apart from the villagers, the Zhang Mansion far away in Zhaohe Town was also beaming.

Mr. Zhang rarely got a little drunk, so he couldn't help but let his wife slip his tongue and said, "Ma'am, this time I've made it through. Mr. Du handed over the brochure to the capital this time. He said two days ago that he was promoted. The booklet has also arrived, and when the new year begins, it will be officially read..."
