The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 22
Thinking of this, An Ran carefully sized Wei Xiucai again.Judging from his appearance, he is still qualified, barely worthy of his little aunt. Judging by his clothes, his family should not be rich, but since he has achieved fame at a young age, I am afraid that he has become a favorite now. Everyone wants to marry their daughters.After all, in this era, scholars are always highly regarded.An Ran believes in her father's vision, since he has brought everyone back, this Wei Xiucai should be pretty good.It's just that I don't know if my grandma will agree to being a stepmother.An Ran knew that being a stepmother was not easy.

At this time, Gu Wanniang and Zhao Anqi also heard the voice and ran out.

Zhao Anqi was also very happy to see his father, but he was not as revealing as An Ran.He just ran to his father, raised his head, looked at his father with a smile and eyes full of admiration, and said: "Daddy is back! Congratulations to my father for passing the exam! An Qi studied his homework carefully at home every day, and even helped mother to the field. "

"Good boy!" Zhao Shihua hugged An Ran with one hand, patted his son's head with one free hand, and praised his son in a rare way.

Gu Wanniang was also a little excited at first, but when she saw a strange man standing behind her husband, she immediately lowered her head and said softly, "Father, you are back..."

Zhao Shihua was also a little excited when he saw his wife, but because of the presence of outsiders, he couldn't reveal it, so he simply introduced to Wei Qingyuan: "This is Zhuojing."

Wei Qingyuan immediately clasped his fists in salute and called "Sister-in-law", Zhao Shihua introduced to Gu Wanniang again: "This is Mr. Wei from Ping'an Town, named Jiang, and his name is Qingyuan. The two of us won this class together, and we are the pre-examination for the husband's court. I benefited a lot from brother Qingyuan's suggestion. Brother Qingyuan passed by Xilin Town on his way back to his hometown, and my husband specially invited him to stay at home for one night, so the two of us can talk by candlelight at night."

Only then did Gu Wanniang raise her head and salute Wei Qingyuan: "I've met Mr. Wei! Thank you Mr. Wei for taking care of my husband." Then, she smiled softly at Zhao Shihua and said, "Please invite the guests into the house first! I'll heat the pot for you Freshen up with some water." After saying that, Gu Wanniang lowered her head and turned back to the house.Since there are guests, they will probably have dinner at the old man's tonight, but they have to bring the food by themselves.

Zhao Shihua looked at the back of his wife rushing into the house, and felt warm and tender in his heart.He is back!He passed the exam!From now on, he will never let his wife and daughter cry secretly in the middle of the night when they are hungry, and he will make the life of this family better and better.

"Brother Qingyuan, please!" Zhao Shihua took a deep breath, showed a slight smile, and raised his hand to guide Wei Xiucai into the courtyard, "Brother Qingyuan laughed at the shabby house."

Wei Qingyuan shook his head with a gentle smile and said, "Brother Sheng Lin, you are being polite. You also know that my father passed away early, and my family relies on my widowed mother to do some sewing to get by. It's not as good as my elder brother's family has land and land!"

An Ran muttered to herself, so it seems that they really are "well matched"!

The two put down their luggage, washed up briefly, drank a cup of tea, and went to the old house together.

Knowing that there is a guest, he is still a scholar. Not only the second elders of the Zhao family, but also the eldest and third sons of the Zhao family attach great importance to them. They asked their mothers-in-law to take the rice noodles and eggs from the house to serve dinner with their parents. Welcomed out.

Welcoming them to the house and sitting down, several men sat in the main room and talked, while An Qi and An Nan of the long room also stood aside and listened.The women and children went to the kitchen to help, and listened to the men outside by the way.

Wei Qingyuan is a serious scholar, and he hasn't slacked off for more than ten years. When he talks about the Four Books and Five Classics, he is very clear, and he is naturally better than Zhao Shihua, who has lost his books for several years.It's just that he has been studying hard at home all year round, but his understanding of life and practice is not good. That's why Zhao Shihua got the county case this time. Hello Zhao Shihua.

The men in the Zhao family were all educated, and they respected a talented scholar like Wei Qingyuan more than ordinary people, and listened to him very seriously for a while.

In the kitchen, seeing that Wei Qingyuan was already a scholar at a young age, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and she seemed to say unintentionally: "Master Wei has been selected as a scholar at such a young age, he is really talented, and he will definitely be able to pass the exam for a master in the future! I don’t know if we’re married or not.” The country people rarely read and write, and they are very respectful in their hearts, so they call the scholar a master.

When Rong heard this, he couldn't help thinking.That's right, this Wei Xiucai is young and good-looking, if he matches his daughter, it can't be better.Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at her little daughter again.Not to mention, her family Yun Xing really looks better the more she looks at it!Now my son is also a scholar, so finding a talented son-in-law for my daughter is a good match.

The third aunt He looked at her mother-in-law and then at her sister-in-law, but wisely kept silent.

Seeing her grandma's expression, An Ran knew that her grandma had taken a fancy to Wei Qingyuan, so she pretended to be complacent and said, "My daughter knows, my daughter knows!"

"What does my daughter know?" Rong turned her head and asked An Ran with a smile on her face.

An Ran blinked her eyes, and said in a low voice pretending to be mysterious: "An Ran knows that Uncle Wei has a daughter in his family, who is as old as Nannie! Daddy said so."

When Wang heard this, the eagerness on her face disappeared. "I remember that my grandfather was selected as a scholar at a very young age, but after a lifetime of examinations, he failed to pass the exam..." She snorted softly and turned her face away to choose vegetables.

An Ran curled her lips secretly: Auntie, this is too practical, right?
"Shut your mouth if you don't know how to speak!" Rong yelled angrily at Wang in a low voice, afraid that Wei Qingyuan outside would hear it. She didn't sigh until she heard the voice outside was as eager as before, "So Young learning is so good, I don’t know how many people think about it! It’s strange that we didn’t get married.”

Seeing grandma's disappointed look, An Ran smiled slyly and said, "Uncle Wei said that her mother died young and her daughter was left uneducated, so pitiful!"

"Really?"

Wang and Rong asked in unison.

An Ran nodded, her eyes widened and she said angrily: "Nanxi is a good boy, she doesn't lie and deceive people!" As if she was very angry at the doubts of her grandma and auntie.
