Xue's daughter-in-law

Chapter 101

Lin Yixiu scared Chun Xing away with a few words, but he didn't feel complacent for too long, and then he had no choice but to call "Second Brother" and "Third Brother" to the two Xue brothers who were younger than him. Now, the sweetheart couldn't run away, so he left contentedly and urged his horse to return.

When he left, Ye Ya wondered, "Why didn't Chun Xing come?" Thanks to her, she even tidied up the West House.

"I'm afraid I'm shy." Xue Bai replied with a smile, holding her hand and walking back.

Ye Ya blushed and struggled twice, but he couldn't get rid of it, so he held it.

Three days later, the county magistrate Mrs. Lin came to propose marriage to Xue's family in person. The whole Hulu Village and even Dongqiao Town were shocked. Such an unexpected couple gave everyone another thing to talk about after dinner.But no matter whether they are envious or jealous, the marriage of Xue Lin's family is going on in an orderly manner like Lin Yixiu's plan. In just one month, they have completed various tedious etiquettes such as Na Cai, asking names, Na Ji, and Na Zheng. , and finally set the wedding date on September [-] this year, which is three months later.

Ye Ya felt that it was too early to choose this date, Chun Xing was only 15 years old, and she had estimated that it would be in the spring of next year.Lin also felt anxious.But the Lin family said that next year Lin Yixiu would probably go to Beijing to take the exam, so he decided to settle down early and study with peace of mind.How did she and her husband know that? Anyway, if you marry early, you are married, and if you marry late, you are also married. September will be September.In the final analysis, the other party's background was too great, and they didn't dare to insist too much.

After it was decided, Chun Xing began to stay in the house to embroider the wedding dress, and Lin's couple also had to think about preparing a dowry for their daughter.Dowry Dowry, in fact, is also simple, with so little money at home, what can you afford?Could it be that because the other party is an official family, the Xue family will slap their swollen face and pretend to be fat?That's impossible, firstly, they can't get a generous dowry even if their faces are swollen, and secondly, the Lin family has already stated that they really want to marry a daughter-in-law, so they must not spend money on the dowry.

Chun Xing was busy, but Ye Ya was idle, occasionally going to the second aunt's house, and most of the time staying at home with Xue Shu, sewing winter clothes for her brothers.

Xue Bai went to the county school early to study, Xue Song only came back to do farm work, and only stayed two or three nights every time he went home.That's how people are, the three brothers are all by her side, Ye Ya was looking forward to them leaving because she couldn't handle it at night, but now that they are all gone, she panicked again.Especially for Xue Bai, who was far away in the county, she would worry that he was tired from studying, that he could not take care of himself, and that his plain clothes would be looked down upon by his classmates.

Worrying and missing, the days passed day by day, and before I knew it, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival again.

Last year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone went to the town to enjoy the lanterns after dinner.

Looking at the empty side of the kang table, both Xue Song and Ye Ya felt a little heavy. Xue Shu didn't know the meaning of this exam, but he missed his third brother.No one was in the mood to talk, so they washed up and went to bed after eating, and slept in separate rooms.

Xue Shu fell asleep soon, and Ye Ya went to the east room lightly, and as soon as she entered the room, Xue Song picked her up and threw her on the kang.

The two hadn't seen each other for more than half a month, so they naturally had a good time.Afterwards, Ye Ya nestled in Xue Song's arms and talked to him, "Brother, do you think the third brother can pass the exam?" The voice was hoarse after joy, but it made people feel at ease and enjoy it on this cool autumn night.

Xue Song put his arms around her and stroked her long hair, "I don't know. It's the best if you win, and it doesn't matter if you don't win, he's only old."

Ye Ya was dissatisfied with his perfunctory, and poked him, "Should be able to hit, the third brother is already smart, and this time he has a brother-in-law to help him."

Speaking of this, one has to say that Lin Yixiu really likes Chunxing, which can be seen from his attitude towards his third brother-to-be.

As a 16-year-old Juren master who was in high school, and as a son of a Beijing official who has been exposed to officialdom since he was a child, he is qualified to be Xue Bai's teacher, whether it is his experience in taking scientific examinations or his analysis of current events in specific countries.During the two months when Xue Bo was studying in the county, he was often invited by him to visit the county government after school.When the township examination was approaching, Lin Yixiu personally accompanied Xue Bai to the provincial capital to take the examination.When this matter reached Chun Xing's ears, the little girl's face was flushed, and her eyes were full of sweetness.

"Well, we're all in love with Chunxing." Xue Song nodded in agreement, and said in a low voice: "Okay, don't think about it so much, the third brother will be back in a few days, and he will live at home every day, Naturally, I will make you suffer so much. Right now, I can only think of me here..."

After sending Xue Song away, Ye Ya began counting the days of Xue Bai's return with his fingers.

One day, she was sitting in the room sewing a pillowcase for Chun Xing when a cry came from the gate.

She hurriedly put on her shoes and got off the ground, and greeted Xue Shu out.

Standing at the door was an unfamiliar boy in gray clothes. When he saw Ye Ya and the others, he saluted first and said with a smile, "Go back to my in-laws, the second master and the second wife. The younger one is from the Lin family, and the young master is with him. The list was announced yesterday." Yes, the third master won No. 9 in the first class. Since I still have some entertainment in the provincial capital, my young master specially sent me back to announce the good news to the two of you, and the county guards will probably arrive later."

He called "Second Master and Second Madam" very smoothly.That's right, even if there is no relationship with the Lin family, Xue Bai got such a good rank in the first exam at a young age. As long as there are no accidents next year, it should be no problem to get a Jinshi. The Xue family can now fully deserve the title of "Master".

Ye Ya didn't pay attention to the servant's address at all, and only one thought remained in his mind: I got hit, Xue Bai really got hit!
Juren, how many students have survived until they are gray-haired, but they are just a child born scholar, Xue Bai is only 17 years old, and he is already a Juren!

She was so happy that she didn't know what to do, she hurriedly invited people to sit in the house, the young man smiled and shook his head, saying that he would go to his father-in-law to announce the good news, and then ran away quickly without waiting for Ye Ya to reply.Ye Ya turned around on the spot, thinking for a while to burn incense sticks first, and for a while to buy firecrackers in the warehouse to prepare, then suddenly remembered Xue Song, hurriedly went back to the house and locked the door, dragged Xue Shu to catch up with him, and chased after him. Before the boy leaves, ask him to go to Zhenxi and tell Xue Song after he returns.

The boy readily agreed and said goodbye to everyone.

Lin couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and she spoke in a very loud voice: "The third child just wants to fight, and he really passed the exam when he said he would give me the Juren examination! The child's father, you hurry up and take Huzi and the second child to give it to him. Our parents, older brothers and sisters-in-law burned incense and told them the good news, our Xue family also has a master!" She was so happy, when she rejected those matchmakers, not only people from other villages, but also many people in Hulu Village murmured They had high vision and were too greedy. They said that Xue Bai might end up being a poor scholar in his life. In fact, she let it go for a while.It's all right now, in less than half a year, her third nephew helped her grow her face.Oh, by the way, she has to go back to her mother's house and talk to her sister-in-law.

When the neighbors heard the movement, they were so envious, they all came to congratulate, seeing that Xue's family is getting better and better, can they not be flattered?
In the second half of the day, an officer came to say congratulations. Xue Song had already rushed back with a large string of firecrackers in his hand. After Ye Ya had finished buying, Xue Shu lit Xue Song's string with a grin, and there was a crackling sound. It took a while to rest.

But they are busy, and the Lord doesn't know where he is busy.

Xue Song waited at home for five or six days, and it was almost the tenth day of September. Xue Bai hadn't returned home yet, so he had to go back first, clean up the work in the town, and come back two days later to see Chunxing get married.

So as soon as he left in the morning, Xue Bo arrived home at noon.

At that time, Ye Ya and Xue Shu were sitting on the kang to eat, and they didn't hear the footsteps outside at all, until the door curtain was lifted suddenly, they were startled.Seeing the thin young man standing there, Xue Shu jumped down to the ground, hugged Xue Bai and refused to let go, he hadn't seen his third brother for more than two months!

Xue Bai had long been used to Xue Shu's hug like a child, so he let him hug him obediently, and turned to look at Ye Ya.

Ye Ya was dumbfounded, she stared blankly at Xue Bai with the bowl in her hand.

He has obviously lost weight, and seems to be a little taller, but his smile is still gentle and elegant, and his eyes are still so affectionate and smiling, which has not changed at all, no matter whether he is a child, a scholar, or a juren admired by everyone.Maybe, when he becomes a Jinshi and becomes an official, he will always be like this in front of his brothers and her?

So many worries and so many misses, but when I saw people, they all sank to the bottom of my heart, and there was no more waves.When I came back, my heart was at ease.

"The third brother is back, come on, come up to eat first, Ashu, go and get another pair of bowls and chopsticks." Ye Ya put down the bowl, trying to hide the joy and nervousness in her heart, and greeted calmly.

"En!" Xue Shu wiped his eyes, let go of Xue Bai, and went out to get the bowl.

Xue Bai looked at Ye Ya, took off his shoes and got on the kang, instead of sitting where he was used to, he sat next to Ye Ya.Just as Ye Ya was about to move to the side, Xue Bai hugged her, "Second sister-in-law, do you miss me?" He buried her neck, smelling the fragrance of her black hair, smelling the smell on her body that made him wonder. How many nights are the daughters fragrant.

"Think about it." Ye Ya whispered frankly, gently hugged him back, and then pushed him aside, "Okay, let's eat first, haven't you eaten yet?" On the table, I didn't dare to look at him at all.After all, we haven't seen each other for such a long time, and when we came back, we were so close. She, with her heart beating so fast, always felt that his actions had another meaning.
