Chapter 3 Brother and Sister
Zhao Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the person standing at the door.

The arrogant aunt just now seemed unable to be tough when facing Zhao Jin, and just put on a kind smile:
"Brother Jin is back."

Zhao Jin Qingjun's little face became serious, and she completely disappeared from the panic and reserved look in front of Song Zhizhi, and actually looked a bit majestic.

Scholars do not kneel before the county magistrate. The Zhao family has only one scholar like Zhao Jin in this generation, and his bones are not soft.

Besides, he and Zhao Xuan lost their mother when they were young, and their father when they were young. He had long regarded raising his sister as his responsibility. No matter whether he was in front of others or behind, he had always cared for his sister very much.

It is precisely because of this that Ding, who was talking shamelessly in front of Zhao Xuan just now, changed his face so quickly.

"If there is no good tea at home, I will not wrong my aunt. If there is nothing else to do, my nephew will send my aunt home."

Mrs. Ding secretly resented that the Zhao brothers and sisters were so ignorant that they didn't know what to do!

If it weren't for Zhao Xuan's beauty, people might not be able to fall in love with her!

Thinking of the two taels of matchmaking money she had already carried in her arms, Ding's eyes rolled. She didn't believe it couldn't be done!
Zhao Jin did not miss the calculation in Ding's eyes, and her eyes signaled Zhao Xuan to stop talking. She turned around and respectfully sent Ding back to her uncle's house.

"My nephew has met his uncle."

When Zhao Jin arrived at the main house, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he handed over to the man from the Tian family who had just prepared the firewood and walked in with a load of firewood.

"Brother Jin is here, just in time, let's have dinner together."

The Zhao family grew up studying in the family, and Zhao Wanshan was a rough Tian family man. Although he didn't adapt to his nephew's refined ways, after all, he was his own nephew, so he was still willing to take care of him.

Zhao Jin did not agree, but said:

"My nephew has something he needs to explain to his uncle."

"What's going on? We're all a family, just say whatever you need." Zhao Wanshan said carelessly.

"Xuan'er has not yet reached hair age and is in poor health. It is not suitable to marry early. When my father was dying, my nephew promised his father to take good care of his sister and would never let his sister get married early. My aunt suddenly came to the door and said that she wanted to arrange a marriage for my sister. I'm afraid I’m going to let down my aunt’s kindness.”

"What do you mean? Did you kiss Xuan'er?"

Zhao Wanshan looked at his wife.

Ding's eyes rolled. Hearing this, he raised his hand to wipe the dry corners of his eyes, and said aggrievedly:

"I am doing this for the sake of the two brothers and sisters. After Xuan'er gets married, she can also help Brother Jin. I heard that Brother Jin has not paid the money for repairs this year. As long as our family can raise this money, I will How can this aunt not help with this? After all, she is her nephew
But where can we earn this money from the dirt? Why don't we let Xuan'er marry a good family? Besides, I'm marrying Xuan'er, not pushing her into a pit of fire. What Brother Jin said seems to be It's like I intentionally harmed Girl Xuan, and I have no conscience on earth. I'm doing this for your brother and sister's good! "

Zhao Wanshan didn't know about Shu Xiu yet, so he looked embarrassed when he heard this.

"Brother Jin, how far behind is your cultivation?"

"How much difference can you make up? If you can make up this year's, what about next year's? Our son is getting married soon, and we don't know how much money this bride price will cost!" Ding seemed to have guessed what Zhao Wanshan was going to say next. What, grab the white spot quickly.

This is indeed a tricky question.

Even if Zhao Wanshan wanted to help Zhao Jin, he didn't have the ability.

Zhao Jin could see clearly from the sidelines, so he did not answer the conversation and just said:
"If my nephew wants to use his sister's betrothal gift money to study, it's okay if he doesn't read the book, so I ask my uncle and aunt not to worry. My sister will not get married at this time, and my nephew's Shu Xiu will also find a way on his own."

Zhao Jin made his words very clear, but Zhao Wanshan couldn't even say a few words of advice.

"Brother Jin is confused, isn't it? Your sister will get married sooner or later -" "That's not something I need to worry about. What my nephew said just now was not a joke. I hope my aunt will think about it carefully. My nephew is leaving."

Watching Zhao Jin's back go away, Ding said angrily:
"This is your good nephew. As an aunt, I wholeheartedly care for their brothers and sisters, but he doesn't even give me a good look in front of your uncle! I want to see him as a useless person who can't carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands. How can a scholar support him and his sick sister!"

"What nonsense!"

Zhao Wanshan scolded angrily.

"Am I talking nonsense? Did you still want to give him money just now? You didn't even look at your nephew who has eyes above his head to see if he can appreciate your little money!
Neither of your own sons has married, so how can you worry about others?
Daughter's family always wants to marry, if he misses this time, I wonder what kind of good family he can find for his sister! "

Zhao Wanshan was silent.
-
"Brother, did you buy these all today?"

Zhao Xuan looked at the packed bags and was very surprised.

Seeing that the contents of the bag did not turn into leaves and stones, Zhao Jin recalled her previous magical experience and chose to bury the secret in her heart.

He didn't say a word about the strange mountain elf girl. He just said that he was lucky enough to meet a traveling merchant and bought these goods.

All the donkey-hide gelatin and candied dates were given to Zhao Xuan.

Rice and sausages were steamed in a pot at noon, and they were fragrant.

After dinner, Zhao Xuan looked at her brother who was sitting in the study studying hard. She didn't know what she thought of. After a long while, she knocked on the door and said:

"Brother, how about you agree to the marriage that aunt has said? I am willing to marry."

The family's financial resources were not strong. Zhao Xuan had long guessed that the family had no money. She had such a rich meal today, but she still didn't know where her brother earned his hard-earned money.

Zhao Xuan thought about her frail body and felt that she was a drag on her brother. Maybe it would be better to marry early.

Zhao Jin frowned and stood up and put down the book in his hand: "What nonsense are you talking about? How old are you, how can you get married?"

"Brother, I am really willing to get married. The family my aunt mentioned can give me a betrothal gift of five taels -"

"Zhao Xuan!"

Speaking of betrothal gifts, how could Zhao Jin still not understand what his sister was thinking.

The brother and sister looked at each other speechlessly. They grew up dependent on each other. They are relatives whose blood is thicker than water. Each hopes that the other can live a better life.

Zhao Jin was scolded more severely and could not speak out.

Even if he was the first in the county examination and the government examination, it doesn't matter. Without money, he would not be able to study.

The younger sister even wanted to exchange herself for a bride price to support him!

He must find a way to make money!

Song Zhizhi, who didn't know what happened after Zhao Jin returned, was editing Moments at this time.
