During the Ming Dynasty, when it was winter, it was extremely cold...

On the outskirts of the city, there is a lonely yard with only a simple thatched hut in it. The howling north wind blows the thatch scattered all over the ground, and the yard is covered with a thin layer of snow.Surrounded by thorns symbolically, such a dilapidated house, even a thief would not bother to patronize, a weasel poked a head from the fence, looked inside, turned his head and left.

It was late at night, the sky was full of stars, and there was a rumor in the house that "Guan Guan Jujiu is in the river continent."My fair lady, a gentleman is so good...' the voice.Through the window a figure paced back and forth.

The people in the room tightened their clothes, rubbed their hands, turned on the lights, and the room suddenly became much brighter.Looking at this person's handsome face, he is still handsome, but his face is disheveled, obviously malnourished, holding a book of poetry in his hand, his brows have already frowned into a Sichuan character.

He is House Yi, a well-known scholar, and a well-known poor ghost, but what is enviable is that he has a wife Zhou Xueer who has never been married. The daughter of a member of the staff.

This is the reason why the house is easy to worry about. Although their Fang family and Zhou family have long been engaged, but now their Fang family is in decline, and Master Zhou was notoriously stingy and stingy, how could he marry Xueer to her? He is a poor scholar.But just before the meal, the house mother confessed that Fang Ziyi would go to the Zhou family to get married tomorrow, and he knew that going would be a shame for himself, but seeing his mother's expectant eyes, and Xue'er and his own vows, he had no choice room for.

Worrying about his mind, Fang Fangyi looked at the book in his hand, but he really didn't have the heart to read it, so he simply turned off the lamp and went to bed.

House Yi had a sweet dream. He dreamed that he was nominated for the Gold List and returned triumphantly. Xue Er was welcoming him at the door with a smile on his face.He curled up on the bed with a satisfied smile on his mouth.

When the house got up in the morning, my mother had already prepared breakfast. On the dilapidated table, there was a plate of dried pickles in summer and two steamed buns.

House Yi lowered his head and sat on the stool in silence, reached out and took a steamed bun and gnawed on it.

Looking at her son with pity, the mother asked: "Son, eat more, you are not too young, and you will go to Zhou's house to propose marriage in a while, and marry Miss Zhou's family, and you can go to Beijing to take the exam with peace of mind." gone."

"Mother, the child knows." House Yi said absent-mindedly.

Under the majestic hallway, the lacquered red door was tightly closed, and the two door gods stared at the front with copper bell-like eyes. A row of red lanterns hung on it, and nineteen bluestone steps led directly to the street. There is also a tall hitching post in front of the door.

House Yi with his hands in his sleeves, paced back and forth in front of the door, hesitating, struggling hard in his heart, his eyes showing deep timidity.

In the end, he walked up the steps cruelly, stopped halfway, stopped, gritted his teeth, walked to the door, knocked on the door knocker carefully, and stood in front of the door with his head bowed. He couldn't help trembling.

"Damn it, who is this early in the morning?" A servant in a thick cotton coat put his arms around his body, shrunk his neck, and ran towards the gate cursing.

The door opened with a creak, and the servant saw the house in front of him, dressed in rags, trembling in the wind, not only angrily cursed: "Where are you beggars, hurry up, there is no leftover food for you. "Originally, being woken up by someone in the winter made me unhappy, seeing a beggar, how could I have a good face.

House Yi bowed his body in embarrassment and said: "My little brother misunderstood, I am not a beggar, I am the future son-in-law of the Zhou family."

"Haha, uncle of the Zhou family, you don't take a piss and act like you. I laughed so hard. If you dare to talk nonsense here again, I won't be polite. This is not a place for you to act wild." Said Ready to close the door.

Quickly grabbed the servant's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Brother, I was joking, Xiaosheng is the House Yi, he is really the son-in-law of the Zhou family, please let me know."

Looking suspiciously at the thin house house in front of him, he said, "Are you really house house?" As a servant of the Zhou family, he had heard of such a person as house house.

"Yes... yes... brother Lao."

"Okay, just wait."

"Thank you...thank you, little brother." Fang Ziyi said while bowing.

"It's really a flower stuck in cow dung. I've heard that it's a poor ghost. It's true." As he walked in, he said, the voice was not low, and the house could clearly hear it, and the embarrassment on his face was even more embarrassing. thick.

"What? You said that poor man came to your door, so hurry up and find someone to drive me away. He is also worthy of my daughter. I was really blind at the time, and I made such a marriage." A white jade waist tied Belt, wearing a beautiful floral robe, the ruddy man said to the servant who had just come in to inform that this man was Zhou Xueer's father, Mr. Zhou.

"Yes, the villain will do it now." The servant who just came in had a look of joy in his eyes, and was about to go out.

"Hold on."

Sitting on the chair below, with a mustache, small mouse eyes, and a paper fan in Dadongong's hand, the man with the appearance of a housekeeper stretched out his hand to block the villain, and flatteringly said to Mr. Zhou: "This is not right, Mr. Zhou." , if that boy spreads the news, it will not ruin the reputation of the master, besides, the marriage contract is still in the hands of the poor boy, if it is reported to the government, the master will have to spend some money to settle the matter."

"Then what's the master plan?"

The butler looked around and whispered into Master Zhou's ear. A smile gradually appeared on Master Zhou's face. The thick flesh on his face was squeezed together, and his eyes were narrowed. The two looked at each other. They smiled triumphantly at each other.

Master Zhou said to the villain: "Go out and tell that poor boy that my Zhou family will not break the contract. Let him prepare a gift tomorrow and come to Zhou's family to get married."

Hearing what the master said, the servant thought he heard it wrong, and stood there in astonishment, at a loss. The housekeeper reprimanded the stunned man: "The master told you to go, so hurry up."

Looking at the servants who went out, Master Zhou said: "The butler has a very high plan. I will leave this matter to you. You must do it in a leak-proof manner. Don't leave any clues."

"Master, don't worry, I'm already familiar with this kind of thing, and all I'm looking for are desperadoes in the Jianghu. There will never be any mistakes. Don't worry, master."

House Yi, who was anxious outside the door, finally waited for the servant to come out. Because of what the master said, the servant did not dare to be presumptuous anymore, and said to House Yi: "The master said, I want you to prepare a gift tomorrow to marry my family." Miss, you go back."

Fang Fangyi couldn't believe his ears, and asked several times in a row to confirm that it was correct.Immediately feeling overjoyed, he stumbled down the steps and ran towards home.

House Yi hurriedly walked towards home. Although the wind was still cold on the road, House Yi's heart was warm at this moment, and he was flying with joy.

"Mr. Fang, please stay. Mr. Fang, please stay." A maid came up from behind panting.

Hearing someone calling him, Fang Fangyi turned his head and saw that it was Xue'er's personal maid, and she was the one who passed the letter between Fang Fangyi and Miss Zhou.

Xiao Cui ran all the way, her face was so red that she looked really pretty, she walked up to Fang Fangyi, took out more than a dozen taels of silver and put it in Fang Fangyi's hand, and said: "Miss pawned it as jewelry, you can buy it Some things can be handed out tomorrow."

Scholars are thin-skinned, how dare they take the house, Xiaocui can't see his thoughts, and said to the house, "Man, don't stick to these things. In the future, you will be the top student in high school and shine brightly. Don't disappoint my lady." yes."

Hearing about the high school, Fang Fangyi's chest puffed up and said: "Xiaosheng swears that he will never let Xue'er down, and he must be the number one in high school in the future, so don't feel wronged Xue'er."

"Okay, I'm going back, the lady is still waiting for my reply."

The house is easy to return home, and the mother knows the result when she sees the joy on her son's face. In the cold winter, the thatched cottage is full of joy.
