after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 1044
Chapter 1044
In order to introduce the market to the fishing village, the guards built a small windproof shed by the sea, built a fire to make tea, and anyone who came to the fishing village could come to get hot water.

Because there is going to be a market at the seaside, the picture shows a lively scene. The normally closed fishing village is opened for the first time, attracting many people from the surrounding area, just to visit the small wooden houses in the fishing village.

It was dark on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, and merchants settled in one after another. The fishing village was not as quiet as before, and became noisy.

There was no breakfast in the cafeteria, so the kids got up first, Tian Wazi led the team, and the kids went to the market to buy breakfast.

Fried dough sticks with crispy skin, tofu nao with broth, sweet soy milk, pies, oil cakes, sesame cakes, etc.

"I want a rice noodle."

Zhang Qing'er stared at one of the stalls, pulled Lin Yuesha in and tasted it, and said, "Sister Yuesha, look at the rice noodle stand, there are sour beans and sour radish sticks, they are definitely authentic."

Lin Yuesha made a bowl full of rice noodles with minced meat, and the big bone soup specially cooked by the stall owner, and sat opposite Zhang Qinger.Neither of them spoke, they were busy eating.

"Boss, can we buy your capers separately?"

Lin Yuesha had pickled it herself before, but she didn't know which process was wrong, and the taste was not satisfactory.

She ate the capers made by the boss, the original taste, it is just right to eat with noodles and rice noodles, and fried with minced meat and red pepper, it is a must.

"I only set aside two more jars this year, and I can share them with you."

The boss is in the rice noodle business, so capers are indispensable. After the beans come out next year, if Lin Yuesha needs them, he will make more.

"Okay, it's inconvenient for you, I'll send someone to pick it up."

After agreeing with the boss and leaving a deposit, Lin Yuesha and Zhang Qinger wandered around after eating and drinking.

"Sister Yuesha, there are portraits in the market, let's draw another one."

Next to the small shed, there was a scholar sitting alone, no one cared about him.

It was still early, and the craftsmen dragged their families to eat breakfast, rushing to eat, so there was no business for the scholar.

The scholar looked around, showing envy to the fireworks around him.

Before leaving Beidi, she kept the portraits of Zhang Qing'er and Lin Yuesha in the scroll, and took them out to read from time to time.

Perhaps at the beginning of next year, Lin Yuesha will go to Beijing with Qi Heng, and the two sisters will face parting again.

Lin Yuesha is Zhang Qinger's sister, one of her most important relatives.

If you can't see each other often, it's good to look at the portraits.

"Okay."

If conditions permit, Lin Yuesha would like to make an agreement with Zhang Qinger that the two sisters draw a picture every year, which is equivalent to a modern group photo.

In this way, year after year, I grow old in anticipation.

"You two choose a background."

The scholar handed over a picture album, which contained landscapes, flowers and plants, old houses and other backgrounds. If you don't like it, you can also use the real scene of the fishing village.

Lin Yuesha flipped through the brochure and felt deeply that the scholar has two brushes.

"I'm not talented, I haven't been to many places, and I only have these backgrounds."

The scholar felt a little guilty, this was his first business in the fishing village, and he could only charge one piece of money.

"That was not what I meant."

Lin Yuesha waved her hand, she didn't intend to bargain.

If a scholar's calligraphy and painting are placed in a painting and calligraphy shop, there will definitely be people who know how to appreciate them, and if they become famous, they can be sold at a high price.

"I don't want to make a living by painting, but I want to continue studying and learning."

The scholar told the truth, seeing the Chinese New Year, the family is not doing well this year, and he is a scholar, so pens, inks, papers and inkstones are very expensive on weekdays.

He didn't hear anything outside the window, and waited to pay attention to the house because his mother was ill and the rice vat at home had bottomed out.

For this, he was ashamed.

It is true that studying and learning is the right way, but as a human being, we must first make a living.

For many years, he has been relying on the money from his parents to help him, and only occasionally helps the bookstore to copy books for some money, all of which are used to buy books.

When he woke up, he was extremely ashamed.

It's almost Chinese New Year now, and he wants to take on some jobs of writing Spring Festival couplets and painting New Year pictures to supplement his family's income.

Zhang Qing'er looked through the picture album carefully, and finally decided to use the real scene. The two sisters were portraited in the courtyard of the small wooden house by the sea.

After about half an hour, the portrait was finished, and Lin Yuesha and Zhang Qinger were very satisfied.

"Are you married?"

Zhang Qinger asked suddenly.

"I have never...never been married."

The scholar was shocked at first, and then replied honestly.

He is already twenty this year, and he has no other thoughts besides studying and learning. After he had an epiphany, he found that he was not well-versed in the world, and he was ashamed of his family.

"Not engaged either?"

Zhang Qinger nodded and asked again.

"Never."

The scholar told the truth, but he didn't understand why the woman in front of him asked about it.

He blushed and asked embarrassedly: "Excuse me, are you a matchmaker?"

If he is a matchmaker for him, as a thank you gift, he doesn't want the money for the portrait.

On the side, Lin Yuesha went from being shocked at the beginning to laughing until her stomach ached.

The scholar is an idiot, he thought Zhang Qing'er was a matchmaker, so he inquired about his marriage to make money from him.

Indeed, despite the open folk customs in the Northland, there are few women as bold as Zhang Qing'er.

"It's a matchmaker, but I plan to be a matchmaker for myself."

Zhang Qing'er said frankly that the scholar was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

So, did the woman in front of her have a crush on him?

"Who else is in your house?"

Before asking questions, Zhang Qing'er talked about her own situation. She didn't mention that her parents were working as officials outside, but said that she was from a small family, and both her parents were living outside.

Lin Yuesha was speechless, if her godfather Master Zhang heard this, she would definitely beat Zhang Qing'er.

However, there is nothing wrong with this sentence.

"There are parents and elder brothers in the family, and the elder brother has already married."

Out of politeness, the scholar bit the bullet and answered.

He passed the examination as a scholar, and his family has a few acres of Susukida. During the slack season, his father and elder brother went to the town to do odd jobs, and his mother and sister-in-law also worked to supplement the family income.

He is the only scholar in the whole family, and he is an idler.

The family is harmonious, brother and sister-in-law are not troublesome people, and he has three nieces.

"Can I visit your house?"

Zhang Qinger asked again.

The scholar has calmed down a lot, he invited Zhang Qing'er to be a guest at home tomorrow, and left a place to stay.

Just after Zhang Qing'er finished asking, Tian Wazi took Xiaotu to look for a portrait of the scholar, and the scholar started to get busy again.

Xiaotu's mouth wasn't completely healed yet, so the scholar comforted Xiaotu, and drew her a cute New Year picture doll of Yuxue, holding a round fan in her hand, just covering her mouth.

Judging from the details of the scholar's conversation and painting, the character is not bad, but people should not only be seen on the superficial surface.

"Sister Qing'er, why do you want to be a guest?"

Lin Yuesha couldn't bear it anymore, it was too childish to take the initiative to come to the door.

Besides, Zhang Qing'er and the scholar are not in the right family, they are far apart.
