Today it is very different.

When she went back to her uncle's house, she brought her sister to ask for her help. If she wanted to gain something from her uncle, she had to give first.

Intimacy and enthusiasm are only the first step, and after arriving at Wu's house in the afternoon, she had already demonstrated this step to her aunt. Although her aunt was a little puzzled by her sudden friendliness, she was also quite happy.

As for Cousin Hao, he blushed every time he saw her. The next afternoon she gave him the Four Treasures of the Study that she brought specially for him. Cousin Hao was so embarrassed that he was hiding in his room and didn't dare to come out to see her. she.

Cousin Hao is five years older than her, and is already a scholar. He is so good at reading, but he never thought he could be so thin-skinned.

Although Wu Pinbai was puzzled, he was still very happy that his niece was willing to come to Wu's house and be so close to him: "Tell me, Sister Jing, what do you want to ask your uncle?"

"Don't worry, my uncle has just left the office. He had a late dinner first and changed out of his official robe. Then we can have a nice talk with him." Meng Meili came to Wu's house. Before leaving the house, she had told Mrs. Wu that she would get Wu agreed and said that it would be okay to return home later.

Hearing Meng Meili's thoughtfulness, both Wu Pinbai and Wen couldn't help but smile. They didn't know anything about their son's thoughts. Even though he was his niece, the Meng family was not a family that the Wu family could reach.

Therefore, in the past, the niece did not get close to them, and even Brother Hao had little chance to see Sister Jing. While studying hard, every time the Meng family was mentioned, his son always looked very lonely, and the couple looked at her. It hurts in my eyes and in my heart.

It's better now. No matter why Sister Jing wants to get close to them, her son is really happy.

As soon as the Wu family is happy with their future hopes, as parents, they are extremely happy right now, regardless of the long-term plan.

Wu Pinbai had dinner first, then went back to the house to wash up. When he changed into his regular clothes, he glanced in the direction of the main room and asked his wife who was serving him: "Where is Brother Hao?"

"He, Sister Jing never came before. He always looked forward to it. In the afternoon, Sister Jing came. As soon as he entered the house, he gave her the four treasures of the study. He was so happy that his face turned red, and then he locked himself in his room. Inside, I haven’t come out yet!” Wen said in a dumbfounded voice.

"Can we have dinner together then?" Wu Pinbai also felt that his son was a little useless, but then he thought about it, it was impossible to get married anyway, and it wouldn't be a bad thing if his son could stay away from his niece.

"No, they were all brought to his room to eat." Although Wen felt a little resentful that iron could not make steel, after all, they were husband and wife, and her thoughts were similar to Wu Pinbai's. She also felt that they could not become in-laws. It's good to be too close.

In this way, in the two sentences exchanged between the couple, they both felt that when Wu Shaohao met Meng Meili, he blushed when he spoke, and when he received the gift, he was so shy that he didn't even dare to leave the door. It can be considered as avoiding unnecessary sadness.

Meng Meili sat alone in the main room, drinking tea and eating cakes, waiting patiently for her uncle to come back to the main room to talk to her about business, but she didn't know that Wu Pinbai and Wen's conversation in their dormitory did not leave her side, let alone her. Wu Shaohao had actually stepped out of his own bedroom and came to the window of the main room, looking at her secretly through the open window sill.

Wu Shaohao has been very good at studying since he was a child, so he is already a scholar at a young age. However, his greatness does not make him stand out. After all, this is the capital at the feet of the emperor, where there are many talents. There are many students who are good at studying, such as There are many of them in Qingbei Academy.

At that time, he was also one of the students who could get into Qingbei Academy. Unfortunately, the cost of living and studying in Qingbei Academy was too high. His family relied on the meager salary from his father's job as a government official in Beijing, not to mention supporting him to enter. I live in Qingbei Academy, which is a daily use in Wu's house, and it often makes my mother rack her brains to make ends meet.

The Wu family was poor and far inferior to the Meng family.

This is a fact that he has known since he was urinating, and it is also the motivation for him to study hard since he was a child.

His father always said that just knowing how to study was useless, and he used the cruel reality of serving as an official for many years to prove that his father's words were correct. He understood this truth and also understood the helplessness and resignation in his father's eyes when he said these words to him as a child.

He is a person who is not very good at hiding his emotions, especially his family, who know him very well. Therefore, when his mother used the marriage of the young master next door to explain to him that it was impossible for him to get married to cousin Jing, He was not surprised, but he felt more and more that he should study harder.He can only study to gain fame and enter the officialdom by being named on the gold medal list. No matter whether he will be like his father in the future, he will also be frustrated in his official career and have to bow his head due to the pressure of power. He will try his best to stick to the bottom line.

Cousin Jing is ten years old this year and is still five years away from becoming a hairpin. He still has a chance.

In these five years, he will definitely pass the Jinshi examination. As a new Jinshi, he will have the slightest chance to marry cousin Jing.

Meng Meijing was secretly stared at by Wu Shaohao outside the window for a long time, and she couldn't help but become aware of it. She ate the cakes and then raised her eyes to look at the window sill.

Wu Shaohao was startled, but luckily he dodged in time and was not seen. He quickly covered his heart that was beating wildly and ran back to his own room.

"Miss, what are you looking at?" Jixiang followed Meng Meili's gaze and looked out the window. He only saw a vegetable patch surrounded by a corner of the yard against the wall.

"It's nothing." Meng Meili couldn't say anything. Now that the feeling of being stared at was gone, she didn't say anything more.

Wu Pinbai stepped into the main room at this time. Wen did not follow him, but went to Wu Shaohao's room to collect the clothes he had changed, intending to wash them together with Wu Pinbai's clothes.

Wu's house was poor and could not afford servants, so Wen's mother and son, including Wu Shaohao, did all the daily chores they could do on their own, such as cooking, washing, and sweeping.

In addition, Wen also had to serve Wu Pinbai.

In order to supplement his family income, Wu Shaohao often went to the temple to take some scriptures home to copy while studying.

Meng Meili didn't know this. She only knew that Wu Pinbai entered the hall alone and asked, "Where are uncle, aunt and cousin Hao?"

"Your aunt is washing clothes in the yard, and your cousin is helping to carry water." Before Wu Pinbai entered the hall, he saw the scene near the well in the yard.

Meng Meijing immediately said: "Jixiang, go to the yard and help your aunt."

Jixiang responded: "No."

"Oh, no need..."

"Uncle, this is a shame."

Wu Pinbai wanted to refuse Meng Meimei's offer to let Jixiang help Wen's wash clothes, but before he could finish his words, Meng Meimei interrupted in a coquettish manner.

He just nodded.

Jixiang quickly walked out of the main room and went to the well in the courtyard to help with the laundry.
