Chapter 194
"Hey, thank you mother."

Tie Sheng replied with a smile.

"Silly boy, what else can Tong Niang say to thank you?"

Tie Shengniang also laughed, took his clothes from the academy to the yard, soaked them for a while, and specially put on the acacia seeds for laundry, rubbed her hands a few times, and then rinsed them and hung them on the clothesline superior.

Afterwards, she ran to her own room, picked out the clothes that she and Tie Sheng's father could afford, sewed them carefully, and took them out to dry in the yard.

Three days passed quickly.

This morning, Tiesheng's family ate early and fed the chickens, ducks, and pigs. Then they changed their clothes, made them tidy, locked the door, and set off for the county.

They came early, only the clerks were busy in Tong Ji's shop, Tong Zhi'er and others hadn't arrived yet.

"What do you three want to see?"

Zhao Cai came over with a smile.

"We have an appointment with someone, and we will wait in the private room on the second floor."

When Tie Sheng said that, Zhao Cai took an extra look at him and asked, "Is it with the shopkeeper?"

"Ah."

"Okay, all three, please come here with me."

After Zhaocai led the three of them up to the second floor, he served refreshments and went downstairs.

It took about half an hour for Tong Zhixin, Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhi'er to come to the shop.

Zhaocai immediately went up to greet him, "Shopkeeper, the private room you booked has already come."

"it is good."

The three of Tong Zhixin went upstairs, pushed open the door of the private room, Tie Sheng and Tie Sheng's parents got up quickly.

"Sorry, we came late and kept you waiting." Tong Zhixin said.

Tie Sheng was very nervous, "Uncle, you are being polite, we didn't wait long."

"Everyone stop standing, sit down."

Fang Cuiwei smiled from the side.

Tie Sheng's father and Tie Sheng's mother smiled back, and only sat down after Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei sat down.

Tie Sheng secretly glanced at Tong Zhi'er, then set his eyes on the teacup on the table.

So are his parents.

Especially Tie Sheng Dad.

This Tong Zhi'er is really good looking, watery, no wonder Tie Sheng has been thinking about her.

When the three of them were looking at Tong Zhi'er, Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei were also looking at Tiesheng.

This guy was born gentle and gentle, neither fat nor thin, although his appearance was not as good as Dong Ping's, but he had the demeanor of a scholar, so he was fine to look at.

"Iron boy."

"Uncle, you can just call me Tiesheng."

"Okay," Tong Zhixin nodded with a smile, "I heard people say that you are studying in Qingning Academy now?"

"Yes." In Tie Sheng's father's voice, there was pride that couldn't be concealed.

There are many literati in Qingzhou, and Qingning Academy is one of the four major academies in Qingzhou. It is famous all over the world because it has produced many prime ministers and ministers. The scholars who can enter Qingning Academy are all real talents.

Tie Sheng's father continued: "Tie Sheng not only studied in Qingning Academy, but also has the reputation of a scholar. This year, he also participated in the imperial examination."

"How was the test?"

Tie Sheng said modestly: "I can't tell, I won't know until the rankings are announced."

Tong Zhixin asked some other questions, and the two families left after dinner.

After returning home, Fang Cuiwei went to Tong Zhi'er's house.

"Zhi'er, you also saw this Tie Sheng today, how was it?"

Tong Zhier shook his head.

Fang Cuiwei was immediately relieved. At first, she had a good impression of this man named Tiesheng, but when Tong Zhixin asked him what he usually did when he returned home, Fang Cuiwei was indeed a little upset.

This man named Tiesheng went home and did nothing, even if he was busy with the farm, he didn't know how to help his family cook a meal, and he had to wait for his mother to come back to cook for him.

Fang Cuiwei didn't like this very much.

If Zhi'er marries him in the future, he will only know how to study without doing anything, and Zhi'er will be tired of serving him.

At night, Fang Cuiwei told Tong Zhixin what Tong Zhi'er meant, as well as his own thoughts.

"Since Zhi'er doesn't like him, I'll tell Matchmaker Zhang tomorrow, and let Matchmaker Zhang go to Tie Sheng's house to let him know."

"Ah."

.........

"Sister-in-law of the Tie family."

Tie Shengniang was making clothes in the house, when she heard Zhang Matchmaker's voice, she immediately put down all the things in her hands, got up and went out to meet him.

"Miss Zhang."

When the two entered the room, Matchmaker Zhang said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law of the Tie family, you should tell Tie Sheng another marriage."

"Ah? Sister Zhang, their Tong family is not happy? Why?"

Matchmaker Zhang shook his head, "This person didn't say anything, and I don't know. He came to see me after breakfast and let me let you know."

Tie Shengniang was in a daze for a while, thanked Zhang Matchmaker, and sent her out of the house.

When Tiesheng came home from outside, what he saw was her mother looking at him hesitantly.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"Tiesheng... don't be sad, there are so many good girls in the world, mother will tell you another one..."

There was a thunderbolt above Tie Sheng's head.

Tong Zhi'er's parents had a good impression of him yesterday, Tong Zhi'er saw him looking at her and smiled at him, why did this result today?

"Mom, don't joke with me."

Tie Shengniang was also anxious, "When did my mother play a joke on you?"

Tie Sheng was silent for a while, then suddenly turned and ran out the door.

"Tiesheng, Tiesheng, where are you going..."

Tie Shengniang chased after him, but after a while, Tie Sheng disappeared.

"What's the matter?"

Tie Sheng's father chopped firewood and went home, looking puzzled at the anxiety on his daughter-in-law's face.

Tie Shengniang immediately told Tie Sheng's father that Tong Zhi'er's family did not agree to the marriage, and Tie Sheng ran out after knowing about it.

Hearing that Tie Sheng didn't know where he was going, Tie Sheng's father was also anxious.

"What can we do now?"

"Do you still remember that two years ago, Tiesheng's elder sister helped Tiesheng and said that it was also the Tong family. The Tong family didn't agree, and Tiesheng disappeared for a whole night?"

Tie Shengniang nodded, "I remember. Did he go to Tong's house?"

Tie Sheng's father stomped his feet, "This silly boy, what is he going to Tong's house for? They won't agree to this marriage anymore, so he has to ask to understand, isn't he bringing shame on himself?"

"Insult yourself?"

"His daughter is a village lord, and her family is well-off, so it's only natural for her to look down on us." Tie Sheng's father said angrily, "No, if they say even worse things, it's not good to make Tie Sheng think twice. Let's go to Tong's house and have a look."

Tie Shengniang hurriedly closed the door, and followed Tie Sheng's father to the neighboring village.

When passing by the village head's house, the two told the village head and the village head's wife.

After hearing this, the village chief comforted Tiesheng's father and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, Tong Laosi and his family are all kind people, even if Tiesheng went to his house to ask questions, Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei would not treat Tiesheng as well." What are you talking about?"

 Thanks to duyijian for the big reward, I just noticed, sweating.

  There will be two more chapters tomorrow, thank you very much.
