husband and wife

Chapter 173

Aunt Xu has a very good impression of Song Ziheng. Wearing a fine cotton green shirt, with a luxuriant tree facing the wind and a beautiful scenery like the moon, she always thinks that his uncle is already a dragon and phoenix among people—at least he is much better than those muddy legs like them. I think there are still such handsome figures as Song Juren, and my uncle said that this Song Juren is still in the top five of the provincial government. At the Lu Ming meeting, the magistrate specially named him to praise him. Such a good knowledge, It is not a problem to think that next year he will try for the title of the gold list.Uncle is dragged down by his family's conditions, so he won't be able to go to Beijing to take the exam next year, so he can only wait for another three years. If he is engaged to Song Juren's sister at this time, he will naturally be of help when he goes to Beijing to take the exam in another three years. For ordinary people, Song Juren's own sister is not much different. Although it is farther away, there is no better girl than Song Juren's sister in my own ten miles and eight villages. With such a marriage, she will have the face to meet her in-laws in the future.

Mrs. Xu made up her mind, but she didn't show it on her face. She just asked her uncle about the impression of the Song family. Praise, Father Song is as silent as a mountain, Mother Song is kind and amiable, Grandma Song is healthy and healthy, Brother Ziheng and his nephews are studying in the county, so they only came back to have a look at the banquet, they are younger than their students, but Already having the elegance of a scholar, Brother Ziheng's wife is even more gentle and virtuous, not much worse than his own sister-in-law.Mrs. Xu was relieved when she heard that Song Ju's family style was really good, and she asked Xu Yongfang what she had seen about the girls in his boudoir. Yes, very skillful, sometimes the food smells very delicious, I heard that Brother Ziheng's younger sister took care of it, on weekdays his father, mother, brother and sister-in-law work outside, and his sister takes care of everything at home, Xu Yong conveniently said what he heard Yes, Mrs. Xu is even more satisfied. The upper-class families choose their daughters-in-law based on their appearance and merit, but their family is not so particular. That's enough, the important thing is that the culinary girl can do it well, and she can also take care of the housekeeper. With her help in the future, my uncle can feel at ease in the county by himself.

Now that both parties are interested, Mrs. Xu told her husband that the husband and wife were already discussing what kind of bride price to prepare. Song Ziheng stayed at Xu's house for five days before finally saying goodbye. Xu's family still won the village and kidnapped There are a lot of congratulatory gifts from the relatives of the bend, and the congratulatory ceremony brought to the Song family is also a bit of a look, not to mention food, and a gift is prepared for each of the Song family. They are all small items, not very expensive. , When I arrived at Song Xiaomei, I prepared a box, looked very carefully, Xu Dasao said with a smile: "This is a silver ring left by my mother-in-law, although it is not expensive, it is a kindness, I hope Song Juren will not refuse. "

Song Ziheng also accepted it with a smile, and said, "I thanked my sister-in-law on behalf of my little sister."

Mrs. Xu laughed even worse. The other party accepted the gift because she was interested in her family, and sent Song Ziheng away enthusiastically. After discussing with her husband, Mrs. Xu decided to invite a matchmaker to the Song family to propose marriage the next day.

The ox cart that Song Ziheng took this time came back to their county from Xu's house, and it was already dark. He originally planned to stay at his father-in-law's house for one night, but seeing that it was getting dark, so he could not disturb his parents-in-law, so he simply brought the key with him. Then I opened the door and went to live in the courtyard of the rented house for one night.

I haven't lived here for a long time, and I didn't feel it when I went to sleep that night. Song Ziheng didn't even turn on the lights, so he took a cold shower under the moonlight, went back to the house, took out the bedding from the cabinet and made the bed, and lay down He fell asleep on the bed, and at dawn the next day, he realized that there was some dust in the house. Song Ziheng looked outside and it was still early, so he took a broom and swept the floor of the house. They should go back home to propose marriage. When the little sister's marriage is over, they will also go back to live in the county. At that time, they will ask the lady to clean up. It's better for him to share some of the burden for her now.

Naturally, the idea is good. Song Ziheng is a careful person, and he does not do things rashly. He even swept under the bed. It was clean, but saw something stuck in the gap. Song Ziheng was afraid that something was wrong, so he pulled it out with great effort, and took a look in the palm of his hand. It was round and smelled like medicine. He knew that his wife usually ate Huichuntang. He said the pills were for nourishing the body, but he saw that they were of no use. After taking a lot of them, the lady did not see any reaction, but he was afraid that the lady would think too much, so he didn't say these things.

Now that Song Ziheng closed his palms together, he made up his mind to go to the nearby pharmacy and ask the old doctor what kind of medicine the Huichuntang gave the lady in the pills. The next thing is that it doesn't have any effect after taking it. What if it is harmful to the body? , He really wants to make the lady stop, he didn't agree to take the medicine before, if he is not sick or in pain, the medicine is three-point poisonous, it's just the mother-in-law's wish, and he can't stop it.
