Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 525 Reunion
Guan Wen and Wei Xingzhi arrived at Hehua Village just in time for dinner.

Yang'er heard the sound of horseshoes from a distance, and ran to Pokou together with Xiaokang to have a look. When he saw the carriage parked in front of his house, Guan Wen came out of it, and Yang'er immediately yelled: "Father!"

Yang'er hasn't seen Guan Wen for a long time.

Guan Wen picked Yang'er up and said with a smile, "Good boy, it's heavy again."

Xiaokang looked up at Guan Wen, squinted his eyes and said, "Uncle is home! I'll tell my uncle to go!"

After speaking, he turned around and went to "tip the news" to Li Xin and others.

Wei Xingzhi followed Guan Wen out of the carriage, and Yang'er stared at him for a long while before blurting out, "Uncle."

Wei Xingzhi blushed, Guan Wen laughed loudly and said, "That's a good call! Yang'er still remembers your future uncle?"

Yang'er pursed her lips and nodded with a smile: "Mother and sister both mentioned it!"

"Awen!"

Li Xin ran to the slope, and saw that it was indeed Guan Wen, who was carrying Yang'er up the slope, followed by...

Scholar Wei!
Li Xin hurriedly said pleasantly: "Scholar Wei is back!"

"Sister-in-law Guan." Wei Xingzhi hurriedly called Li Xin, a little embarrassed, "I came back yesterday and rested all night. Today, I came back with Brother Guan after lunch at noon."

Li Xin said with a smile: "It's good to be back, just go and see your mother, she's been nagging these days, saying that you should be back, why haven't you come back yet."

Wei Xingzhi hurriedly agreed, and stepped forward in three steps and two steps in parallel.

Li Xin hugged Yang'er and let him down, Guan Wen grabbed her waist and smiled: "You just forgot about me when you greeted Brother Wei?"

Li Xin rolled his eyes at him angrily: "You're a grown man, and you don't feel ashamed at all. Hurry up and go in, it's time for dinner."

Li Xin and Guan Wen walked up the slope and entered the main room. Aunt Wei was holding Wei Xingzhi in tears.

"Why did you come back... You should have arrived home long ago, and you didn't write a letter to report that you are safe..."

Wei Xingzhi let his old lady beat him, while persuading him in a low voice, he inadvertently glanced at Amei who was standing behind Aunt Wei from the corner of his eye.

A-mei blushed immediately, and she stood there quite at a loss, not daring to meet Wei Shusheng's gaze.

Wei Shusheng smiled apologetically at her, reached out and patted Aunt Wei on the back and said, "Mom, haven't I come back now? It's okay, but the pace is a little slow. You also know that it's getting late at night and it's getting dark now." It's not very safe to walk on the road early."

"It's fine, it's fine."

Aunt Wei walked away from Wei Shusheng's shoulders, looked at Wei Shusheng carefully, and said with distress: "I lost weight, I lost weight, isn't it a sin to go out this time! The flesh on my face is gone..."

Wei Xingzhi said amusedly, "Mother, how can you be so exaggerated."

Aunt Wei took Wei Xingzhi's hand complainingly, and felt wronged again: "You are mother's son, mother doesn't know..."

Li Xin came up to persuade him: "Ma'am, since Ma'am has said that Brother Wei has lost weight, and Brother Wei is back, let's feed Brother Wei well. Let's eat first."

"Yes, eat first, eat first."

Aunt Wei hurriedly dragged Wei Shusheng to sit down, finally with a smile on her face, she said: "Your sister-in-law Guan's crafts are good, my mother has to eat more food every meal with her, and her energy is well nourished, isn't it?" Less. Hurry up and eat, hurry up and eat too."

Wei Shusheng quickly took the chopsticks that Mrs. Wei handed him, and said helplessly: "Mother, I am not a child anymore, I know it, don't worry about me."

"That's right, there's still plenty of time left for you mother and son to talk, auntie, let's eat first."

Li Xin helped Aunt Wei to the table where the women were sitting, and brought some food to Aunt Wei. Aunt Wei would look at Shusheng Wei from time to time, her eyes full of concern.

Guan Wen, Guan Wu, Feng Defa, Wei Xingzhi, and even the old man who was very happy to see his future grandson-in-law sat at a table, and the atmosphere at that table soon became lively.

Guan Wen and Guan Wu were happy, and poured some wine for a few drinks.

After all, Wei Shusheng was too strong to drink, and after being forced to drink two cups, he couldn't hold on anymore, his face was blushing a lot, even the roots of his ears were red.

Seeing this, Guan Wen and Guan Wu sent Wei Xingzhi to lie down for a while.

Li Xin and A-mei cleaned up the mess together. Seeing A-mei's shy smile on her face, she felt teased and teased A-mei: "A-mei, you are going to marry Wei Shusheng in just over a month. Now, do you feel nervous or afraid? I saw your future husband-in-law today."

A-mei blushed with embarrassment, gave Li Xin a shy and timid look, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me, but as a newlywed, how can you not be nervous or afraid when you get married... It's sister-in-law. Give it to my elder brother, is it very peaceful? I don't believe it..."

A-mei will retort at her now!

Li Xin smiled, not annoyed, but said: "My younger sister will marry into the Wei family in the future, and you will not be left behind if you are filial to Aunt Wei, but the more important thing is to take good care of your husband."

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, but still vaccinated A-mei: "He came back from Qiu Wei, his grades are second, but he is a scholar after all, as long as he wins the exam, becoming an official is a certainty. Regardless of whether you are an official or a small official, you will be an official after all. In the future, if you really become the wife of an official, my sister-in-law will not be able to teach you other aspects, so you have to learn by yourself, but there is one aspect that my sister-in-law still wants to ring the alarm for you."

A-mei looked at Li Xin, Li Xin paused, and then said softly: "If he wants to take a concubine, you have to be careful."

A-mei widened her eyes a little, and Li Xin continued: "The Wei family has only a few heirs, and Mrs. Wei must hope that the Wei family can spread out more. It would be best if you marry a man who can gain a firm foothold in one fell swoop. , if not, but if Wei Shusheng is a bit promising and becomes an official, if he wants to take a concubine, you can't stop him."

A-mei bit her lip and nodded to show that she understood.

"Of course my sister-in-law doesn't want you to live a life where wives and concubines compete, fighting for favors for yourself and interests for your children. Living a life like this is far less relaxing and comfortable than just marrying an ordinary and honest country boy."

Li Xin took a breath, and said slowly: "Scholar Wei is the one you like, my sister-in-law knows, because your sixth brother is studying, and you are the closest to him, and you like scholars like him. Shusheng Wei is also a good character, Brothers and sisters-in-law all think he is good. It’s just that people will change, whether they become better or worse, this is not within the scope of the elder brothers and sisters-in-law. After you get married, you will live your life after all. So, since It's the person you choose, and my sister-in-law will do everything for you before you get married. After you get married, it's all up to you."

After Li Xin finished speaking, seeing that A-Mei didn't respond, he asked tentatively, "A-Mei?"

"I know my sister-in-law." A-mei raised her head, looked at Li Xin with shining eyes, and said to Li Xin with a light smile: "I will live my own life in the future. See if I can manage it, and see my fortune."

A-mei nodded, took Li Xin's hand and said, "I am already very grateful for what my sister-in-law did for me. My sister-in-law can't be responsible for my whole life... so even if I have a bad life, I will grit my teeth and live on." of."

"Nonsense, how can life be unsatisfactory?"

Li Xin hurriedly spat: "Your mother-in-law likes you, and your husband-in-law is well-educated, unless you are unruly and self-willed, and don't live a good life, how can life be unsatisfactory?"

A-mei looked at Li Xin and smiled happily.

"What did you two sisters-in-law say?"

Guan Wenshi walked in, took a sip of hot water and tea, heaved a sigh of relief, and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about? Why didn't I say anything when we met?"

"The girls talk privately, are you willing to listen?"

Li Xin said something to her, and Amei blushed and said that she was going to clean up the main room, and then left the kitchen.

"What are you talking about?"

Guan Wen saw that Amei had left, so he asked Li Xin again.

Li Xin said: "I really didn't say anything, you really... broke the casserole and asked the bottom line, why are you such a mother-in-law today? Seeing your future sister-in-law come back, you are not clear, are you?"

Li Xin murmured and reached out to touch Guan Wen's forehead: "No... I didn't see you drinking much tonight..."

Guan Wen couldn't laugh or cry: "I didn't ask a few more questions, but I became a mother-in-law."

Li Xin giggled twice, seeing no one around, lowered his voice and asked Guan Wen, "Is Wei Shusheng asleep?"

"Sleep."

"Did you stay with him all day today? Has he gone home?"

"Go back." Guan Wen frowned: "He also knew about the homicide that happened next door to his house, but he didn't mention it much, so I just exposed it lightly."

Li Xin then asked: "Then you told him, did we still keep Aunt Wei from telling her about this?"

"I said it." Guan Wen nodded and said, "I said it was not a good thing after all, and I was afraid of scaring Aunt Wei, so I didn't tell her. Fortunately, Aunt Wei never went back to town, so the rumors are true." It didn't reach Mrs. Wei's ears, so she kept it a secret."

"What did Scholar Wei say?"

"Scholar Wei said, since it's all hidden, it's better to keep it secret, and he will tell Aunt Wei slowly."

Li Xin frowned: "Then he came back to take Aunt Wei back? Aunt Wei has gone back, how can we hide this matter?"

Guan Wen shook his head and said: "Scholar Wei said that he hopes to let Mrs. Wei live with us for the time being, and he will sell the yard and change the place again."

"This……"

Li Xin hesitated for a moment: "But, the one who has decided to let my sister come over on the seventh day of the first lunar month still has a month to go. He's selling the yard and looking for a place...is there still time?"

Guan Wen was stunned for a moment, and said: "I haven't mentioned this to him yet... I will mention it to him when he wakes up tomorrow."

Li Xin nodded, then pulled Guan Wen and asked softly, "Have you asked him how he did in Qiu Wei's exam this time?"
