Chapter 73 Marriage Matters
After the first month of the month, the weather is not as cold as before. After eating spring pancakes on February [-], the earth gradually recovers. There are sunny places, and greenery gradually seeps out from the cracks on the hillside.

In February, the Su family had a big event. They were educated in private schools since they were young, and then studied in county schools for four or five years. Finally, on this day, Su Yunhai and Su Yunyang were going to take the county exam.

The County Examination is also called the Tongzi Examination. After passing the County Examination, you will be called Tongsheng and be qualified to further participate in the prefectural examination.

"So if the two of you brothers pass the county examination, you will be the so-called scholar?"

The four sisters sat on the kang and ate melon seeds, while Liu Shi and Wang Shi helped Yan Shi pack their luggage for the exam.

In fact, it's nothing, the county exam is in Daxing County, it's not like going to the capital for three days for the government exam, you only need to prepare a day's water, a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and two thick clothes. "

"No."

Su Yunhai gnawed on a twist in his mouth: "After passing the county examination, you have to take the government examination and the hospital examination, and you can only be called a scholar if you pass those two."

Su Mingliang was sitting on the kang, and at this time he also asked hopefully: "Is it possible that if you become a scholar, you can get rice grains at home?"

Su Yishan glanced at Su Wanqiu, and muttered: "Father, is our family still worried about food? You are still thinking about that little rice."

"How can you call it a little bit?" Su Mingliang said solemnly: "I heard from your sixth uncle that scholars receive a lot of rice grains. There is a poor family who became a scholar. The rice grains are enough for the whole family. There is still a surplus, and I can exchange it for other things.”

Su Yunyang, who helped Yan and others, said with a smile: "Grandpa, you have to be a janitor to receive the rice grain, but a scholar can't do it. It's not easy for the janitors to be the top ones in the government examination."

"That's it." Su Mingliang was a little disappointed, Su Wandong asked: "Third Brother, Big Brother, can you be a housekeeper in the future?"

The two brothers were overwhelmed by one question. They looked at each other, but they didn't know how to answer the fourth sister's question.Suddenly seeing the curtain of the back room being raised, Su Mingjiang came out, and said indifferently: "Yunyang is well educated, being a janitor should not be a problem. As for Yunhai..."

He glanced at Su Yunhai, saw the other party's neck shrink, then shook his head and said: "Forget about Yunhai, it will take a few years for him to be admitted as a scholar."

"Ah?" Su Yishan and Yan Shi didn't understand these things, and they couldn't help being surprised when they heard the words, Yan Shi said: "Yunyang is not in a hurry, but Yunhai can't wait, he will be 20 years old after the New Year, together It's time to discuss marriage, and I still count on him to be a scholar, so I still have some capital when discussing marriage."

Su Mingjiang shook his head: "I said why are you not in a hurry about Yun Hai's marriage? So that's the idea, and I advise you to rest your minds early. If you want him to get fame, he has to study hard after he gets married. Maybe one day I will be enlightened, but I don't know. If you say that you can't get married without fame, hehe..."

He didn't say what he said, but everyone knew what he meant.

Both Su Yishan and Yan's expressions were a bit ugly, Su Mingliang wanted to say something, but he hesitated, turned to look at Su Wanqiu and asked, "Third girl, what do you think?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Su Wanqiu coughed from Guazi's choking, and quickly drank his saliva, Fang was surprised: "What did I say? I don't have a place to speak about the elder brother's marriage, of course it depends on what uncle and uncle think. "

Su Yishan said unhappily: "Isn't it always clamoring to be the master of the house on weekdays? Now you are really called the master, and you are trying to shirk it."

Su Wanqiu laughed angrily: "What? Uncle now admits that I am the head of the family? It's just that even if I am the head of the family, the marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. I have never heard that the marriage of the children is decided by the head of the family. If that's the case, you should also ask Grandpa."

"Tell me, since your sixth uncle has asserted that Yunhai won't be admitted as a scholar in a few years, then don't delay your child's marriage. In the final analysis, aren't we just a farmer's family? There are a few acres of land and the family has a little surplus. It’s much better than most other families, and it’s not difficult to search carefully and find a girl from a wealthy family who is hardworking and capable.”

Su Yishan frowned, turned his head and asked his eldest son sharply, "You really need several years to be admitted as a scholar?"

"Since Uncle Six said that...probably...he must be right." Su Yunhai was not convinced in his heart, but he just thought about his grades in the county school, and he didn't dare to make any guarantees.

"Then why are you still studying this book? Go home and farm as soon as possible." Su Yishan snorted angrily, "I'll find you a wife later on, don't worry about the beautiful and ugly family background, as long as you are diligent and capable, and you can take care of your family."

Su Wanqiu has objections to this, why should someone be diligent and capable to serve your family when they get married?But then I thought about it again: this is not the 21st century, the mainstream view at this time is like this, and women themselves think so, how can she turn things around?You can only take care of the bride after she enters the door, so that no one can bully her.

Just as he was thinking about it, Su Mingjiang spoke again, and said in displeasure, "Nephew, what are you talking about? Reading is for the sake of literacy and understanding, and to increase knowledge. Who said it must be for the test of fame? Do you think a genius like Liang Aliu Are vertical wizards radishes? They can be planted casually in a nest."

Liang Ah Liu?This name is a bit familiar, who came from it?

Su Wanqiu thought hard, then suddenly remembered, slapped his thigh and shouted: "Liang Aliu? Shen Yuanxi said about this person, but... didn't he mean he was dead?"

Su Mingjiang: ...

The whole family sighed: "So what about the geniuses in the sky? Didn't he die young?"

"That's right, it can be seen that the old saying is true, God is jealous of talents."

"Speaking of which, it's better for our children to be a little stupid. As long as they are safe and sound, they can even dig food in the soil. How can we live this life?"

Su Mingjiang: ...

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who said that Liang Ah Liu is dead? He is the chief minister of the cabinet who is now in power, and he is called Prime Minister Liang."

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked, they didn't know who Liang Ah Liu was, but who didn't know Prime Minister Liang?That is the most powerful official in the dynasty.It would not be an exaggeration to say that he covered the sky with one hand.

But after Su Mingjiang finished speaking, he sat down on the chair with a long sigh, and muttered: "Nowadays, people in the world only know Prime Minister Liang, but not many people know Liang Ah Liu."

"Who says no one knows? Shen Yuanxi knows." Su Wanqiu hurriedly said: "I just thought about it carefully. Shen Yuanxi probably didn't mean that Liang Ah Liu died, but that he changed and became the later Prime Minister Liang, perhaps he has lost his original intention, and this fellow feels that Liang Aliu, the heavenly genius back then, is dead."

When she said this, she remembered the gossip she had never heard from Shen Yuanxi, and hurried to Su Mingjiang, beating his shoulder like a dog: "Sixth Uncle, at that time, he was with Liang Aliu, and there was a man named Jiang Yuegong Yes, do you know? What is going on with these two people? Tell us about it."
