Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 42

With boundless pride and complacency, Wuye praised his master.

According to Lin Jinyu's birthday, he happened to be recuperating from the capital to the countryside this year.And before he got sick, he was already a young Jinshi.

Young Scholars at the age of seventeen or eighteen, no matter in the past dynasties, are rare.

Just look at Liu Qingluo's second uncle, Liu Ping'an, who is in his thirties. He has studied for ten years and passed the exam five or six times.

The top of the scholar is to raise people, and the person who raises people to take another exam is the Jinshi.

From this point, we can know how strict the Great Zhou Dynasty was in terms of imperial examinations.

Lin Jinyu is not only from a wealthy family, but also amazing in terms of talent and learning.As for being 13 years older than Liu Qingluo, that wasn't a problem at all.

If it was normal, if a person with such conditions came to propose marriage, it would be something that Du Shi would wake up from his dreams with laughter.

However, Wu Ye's words describing Lin Jinyu were heard by Liu Heping and Du Shi, but no matter what they heard, they felt that he was trying to cover up Lin Jinyu's biggest shortcoming: illness.

In the hearts of Liu Heping and Du Shi, they really love Liu Qingluo as a sweetheart, and they don't expect Liu Qingluo to have any great achievements. They only hope that she will grow up safely, and then marry a man who knows both cold and hot, and live a peaceful life. day.

No matter how rich the Lin family was, it was an indisputable fact that Lin Jinyu was ill, and they didn't want to harm the child.

"This, this matter..." Liu Heping's mouth was stupid, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't tell why, but his face was flushed red.

Du Shi was anxious, pinched him secretly, and said to Wuye with a smile: "Master Wu, our girl is really too young, we still want to keep her by my side for a few more years..."

Wu Ye hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry about this problem. Now our father has only engaged Miss Liu, and Miss Liu will still be raised by you. We will not start discussing marriage until we are 15 years old and Ji."

Congratulations, congratulations, all that matters is a formality, and there is no need for real marriage at all.

In the eyes of the people of the Lin family, as long as they can make Lin Jinyu happy and cure his illness, there is nothing to worry about the other girl's conditions.

"My lord five, it's like this. Look, we, a small family like us, really can't compete with the master of your mansion... You'd better ask the old gods to count your birthday again..." Du's searched for it With an excuse to evade, "Or, look again, is there any other girl who was born on this day?"

It's impossible that when Niu Niu was born, only a girl was born in the Great Zhou Dynasty, right?

Five nights is also difficult.

After all, he was acquainted with Liu Qingluo, and he liked this smart and cute girl quite a lot, so naturally he didn't want to force her.But Lin Jinyu's condition is really...

"Although, there may be other girls with the same birthday as Niu Niu, but there are so many people. Even if we are looking for it, it will take a while. Our master's body..."

As Wuye spoke, the circles of his eyes began to turn red.

He lowered his head and took a deep breath, raised his head again, and said seriously: "Uncle, aunt, if it weren't for our grandfather's body, we would never do such a thing. When Miss Liu reaches Ji, if our grandfather... wait Before that time, the engagement will be void. Do you think it's okay?"

Liu Heping and Du Shi looked at each other, frowned, and remained silent.

What if Lin Jinyu's illness is not cured, and when Niuniu and Ji are delayed, what will Niuniu do?
Do you really want to marry a man who will leave at any time?
Mrs. Du begged: "My lord, this is not a trivial matter, please allow us to think about it, and discuss it before discussing it, okay?"

"This...well, I will come again in three days." Wuye stood up, took a deep look at Liu Qingluo, turned and left.

After a while, there was a sound of horseshoes going away outside.

Liu Qingluo stood beside Mrs. Du, seeing that they were all silent, she tugged at her sleeves, and said softly, "Mother, Niuniu is hungry, the fish Brother Huzi gave you in the morning can be made into soup, okay?"

Du Shi came to his senses and nodded quickly: "Okay, Niuniu is waiting, mother will cook now..."

Full of sorrow, she walked to the stove in the yard, squatted down, and fished out the fish in the basin.

The fish is alive and kicking, very fresh.

"Oh..." Du Shi sighed.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Liu Heping followed slowly, put down his crutches, and sat beside her.

Staring at the fish in his hand, Mrs. Du sighed and said, "Tell me, Huzi is such a good kid? He takes care of Niuniu every day, and brings food here from time to time..."

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Forget it if you're stupid! I mean, Huzi is a good boy, honest and honest, and we get along well with Niu Niu. How about... why not let them make an engagement first, how about it?"

"Ah?" Liu Heping didn't expect that she would come up with such an idea, and he couldn't react for a while.

"You mean, can it work?" Mrs. Du asked anxiously, "In just these two days, we have already booked the marriage of the two children, so no matter how big the Lin family is, it's impossible for the Lin family to miss our little girl anymore, right?" ?”

Liu Heping scratched his head, "This can be considered a solution... Then the young master of the Lin family can't find Chongxi, so what about his illness?"

Mrs. Du was in a hurry and wanted to scratch him, "I said, do you love your own daughter or other people? It's nothing else, it's a big event in our girl's life! Think about it, even if the marriage contract doesn't count in the future, How can a girl who has made an appointment to talk about her in-laws?"

Liu Heping fell silent.

During dinner, there was a lot of rare silence in the family.The usual atmosphere of chatting and laughing, because of Wuye's arrival, was cast with a faint shadow...

Liu Qingluo felt nothing special in her heart.

For one thing, this body was only about five years old, and in her previous world, she was still a child who had only just entered kindergarten.Even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was still far away from the age of 15.

Even the basic food and clothing have not been solved, and the future is also very confused.Getting married was still too far away for her.

Therefore, this incident did not affect her much.

After the meal, she sat on the kang, watched Du Shi do the needlework, and heard three long and one short crickets outside.

"Hey, it's autumn, why are there still crickets?" Du Shi also heard it, wondering.

"Mother, you don't know, this is called the autumn grasshopper, and it won't be jumping for a few days..." Liu Qingluo couldn't help laughing.

Du Shi heard it fresh, and said with a smile: "You child, where do you come from so many witty words..."

"Hey, mother, my legs are sore, let's go for a walk..." Liu Qingluo jumped off the kang and ran outside.

"Slow down, don't trip over... Why is this child, a girl from every family, so quiet..." Du Shi muttered from behind.

Seeing Liu Qingluo's figure disappear, she tilted her head and thought for a long time, and finally decided that she would go to Grandma Hu's house at dawn tomorrow to talk to her and ask her what she meant.
