peaceful ancient life

Chapter 3
Feng Yulan is the most beautiful girl in Lishan Village besides An Ning. She is three years older than An Ning, and she is sixteen this year.

Feng Yulan's family is an immigrant household in Lishan Village. The grandfather of the Feng family brought his wife to Lishan Village when he was young. Seeing the beautiful scenery in the village, he bought a field here and settled down. He even bought two houses in the town with his money. The shop is in the grocery business.

Grandpa Feng has only one son, Feng Yulan's father, Feng Chunsheng, and Feng Chunsheng married his wife Pan, and they have two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Feng Xing, daughter Feng Yulan and youngest son Feng Rong.As the only girl in the Feng family, Feng Yulan was cute and loved by her family since she was a child.

Because her family has money and land, no worries about food and clothing, a wealthy life, and she is beautiful and cute, Feng Yulan grew up being envied by others since she was a child, and she felt that she was the most beautiful and beloved girl in Lishan Village.

When Feng Yulan was ten years old, after An Jin was admitted to Juren, everything changed.Others' envy, praise, and love are all given to An Ju's daughter, An Ning.Feng Yulan was very unconvinced. She thought that An Ning had nothing better than herself except for having a father, so why did everyone like her.

From then on, Feng Yulan found An Ning all kinds of dislikes and found fault with her.

An Ning thinks: In this ancient time when there was no Internet access, no mobile phones, and no entertainment, you can only read books to relieve boredom. It is also quite fun for someone to come here from time to time to find a sense of existence, which means that you have been entertained
Here, Feng Yulan was depressed when she saw An Ning chatting and laughing with others over there. She didn't believe that An Ning could really chat with others without caring, she must be forcing a smile.

After all, the future husband-in-law was robbed, besides, Li Jun is such a good character and appearance.With a face like a crown of jade, gentle and elegant, and a talent for reading, he has already been a candidate at a young age, and it is just around the corner to be ranked in the imperial examination.Among the boys in the ten miles and eight villages nearby, not counting the An family's three brothers, Li Jun was the most promising.

There was no girl in the village who disliked him, including herself.

Thinking that in a few years, she would be the wife of an official, and she snatched it from An Ning, and thinking about it, she was so happy that she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Feng Yulan smiled brightly: "An Ning, why do you have time to come out to play today? By the way, I saw your mother and the others going to the county in the car early in the morning, why didn't you follow to play?"

An Ning raised her eyes: "Um~oh, it's too far away, I don't want to go."

"That's right, what a pity. By the way, I'm getting married on my twentieth next month. Remember to come see me off."

"Well, good." An Ning nodded indifferently.

Fan Qiugui came over from the side: "Yulan, it's November 23rd now, and there is less than a month left. Are you ready to show off your wedding dress?"

"How can there be time, you know me, I can't live well, so I can only go to the county to buy ready-made clothes."

"Then did you buy it?"

"I went to buy it two days ago."

"Really, it looks good, can I go and see it?" Fan Qiugui was curious.

Feng Yulan said with a happy smile: "Yes, it's at my house. When you come to my house someday, I'll show you. Come together when you are free." The last sentence was for An Ning and the others.

Yang Taohua couldn't see her bragging and showing off here in Anning, and when she was impatient, she happened to hear Zhang Zhuzi's grilled fish and sweet potatoes calling everyone to eat.He pulled An Ning decisively and left, yelling: "Let's go, it's finally baked, I'm almost starving to death."

After eating the grilled fish and sweet potatoes, everyone dispersed.

An Ning went to Carambola's house to play for an afternoon, and on the way back, she reached out and pulled a piece of grass by the side of the road to play with. While greeting the villagers passing by on the road from time to time, she hummed softly and strolled towards her home Walk.Walking and walking, he suddenly stopped, and saw Li Jun standing under the banyan tree on the side of the road looking here with a haggard face.

He stepped forward to a place three steps away from Li Jun, looked at him with a smile and said, "Congratulations, Brother Xiao Jun."

Li Jun stared at An Ning closely: "A Ning, I... I'm sorry." There are many things I want to say to her, but I don't know how to say them.

An Ning smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, Brother Xiaojun, you don't need to say sorry to me, anyway, I will treat you as my brother no matter what."

Li Junqiang smiled: "Okay, I will be your brother."

"Ah."

Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, An Ning pursed her lips: "Then I'll go back."

"Ah."

Standing in place watching An Ning's figure slowly going away, he clenched his hands tightly, feeling a tearing pain in his heart.

The Li family belongs to the middle class in the village. Li's father is a hunter and is very good at hunting. In addition, there are many wild animals on the lush and luxuriant Li Mountain.Over the past few years, I have also saved some money, and I still have some leftovers besides building houses and buying fields.

Li Jun was also a mischievous kid when he was a child, always causing trouble everywhere, digging out bird eggs from trees, and catching fish in the water.When he was six years old, he was beaten up by Li's father and sent to the school in the town to study and practice calligraphy.

Because of the birth of two scholars in Lishan Village, An Yaoting and An Jin's father and son (An Jin hadn't passed the exam at the time), the reading atmosphere in the village was very prosperous.As long as every household has spare money, they will send their children to the town to study. Even if they fail the exam, it will be easier for them to find a job in the town or county if they can read.

Li's father didn't hold much hope at first. Li Jun was the only child in the family, so he planned to let him study for a few years to learn Braille, so that he could find a job in the county when he was older.Unexpectedly, this brat is also very talented in learning.Just ask An Jin to take him to the school in the county to study.

Li Jun would go to An Jin for advice if he didn't understand something in the school, and Xiu Mu would always go to An Jin's house when he came back.In An's house, I saw An Ning, who was only four years old, a petite, clean, white and tender little person, as beautiful as a doll in a New Year picture.

He has never seen such a clean and beautiful little girl like An Ning, and he likes it very much. He guards her and watches her slowly grow from a little girl to a 13-year-old girl, just like a budding flower, Prepare to pick it into your arms when it is in full bloom.

Li Jun is already 19 years old this year. Others at his age have several children, but he is unwilling to get married because he is waiting for An Ning to grow up.On this point, although the Li family and the An family did not say anything, they had reached a consensus, and they both tacitly waited for An Ning to be engaged when she turned 15.

And Li's mother, Dong Shi, also hinted that An Ning would belong to her family sooner or later when chatting with others in the village.The people in the village more or less understood something.

After Li Jun passed the examination, one day he was invited by the county magistrate to attend a teacher appreciation banquet in the county. When he was approaching the village, he ran into Feng Yulan who was going to the town and was about to go home.At that time, Feng Yulan somehow fell into the lotus pond at the entrance of the village, and she was struggling and calling for help.Li Jun didn't think much, went down and rescued the person.After landing in the water, Feng Yulan was wet all over, and her wet dress was all stuck to her body. Her body was in its original shape, exquisite and exquisite. Because of struggling in the water, the straps of her clothes were undone, revealing her pink apron inside.When Li Jun saw it, he turned around quickly, and sent her back after she finished her clothes.

Li Jun didn't take this matter to heart at the time. In his opinion, it was just a casual rescue of a person, not a big deal.Who knows, good people are not rewarded.
Early the next morning, Li Jun went to the county to go to Fucheng for a poetry meeting with his classmates. Because he was going to Fucheng this time, it would take about half a month to come back.Li Jun left after explaining to his parents.

Not long after Li Jun left, Feng Yulan's mother, Mrs. Pan, came to the Li family. After expressing her gratitude to Li Jun for saving her daughter, she told the Li family's parents: I am very grateful for being rescued by Jun, but my daughter's body has also been seen, and I hope Li Jun will be responsible.

Of course, this is just an excuse for the Feng family to force the Li family to compromise.

The Li family's parents were anxious at the time. They knew how much their son liked An Ning.Moreover, the An family and the An family had a tacit understanding, as long as they waited for two years, they could marry the An family's daughter to their son.Come out now, how can it be possible?

The Feng and Li families have been arguing about this matter for many days.

Today, Mrs. Pan came again.

The Li family's parents were helpless, so they could only let her in.Talked in the hall for a long time.

When Pan saw the Li family, she couldn't let go of her mouth and impatiently babbled nonsense: "I know that Li Jun of your family is talented in reading, and he will definitely have a good future in the future. You must want to marry him a good girl. You are in love with him." Is the Anjia peaceful? Yes, looking at Kaiping County, the Anjia’s tranquility is one of the best, this is a fact."

Speaking of this, he looked up at the Li family couple and continued to make up: "Of course, your family and the An family are well-matched, but you have to think about it, and An Ning's family is too good-looking. Okay. It’s a bit too much. In other words, she is so good-looking, even if she enters the palace and becomes a concubine, it is enough. Isn’t it?”

The Li family couple looked at each other and shut up.

Mrs. Pan continued to threaten: "If your family marries her, she will be fine in our countryside now. When your family's Li Jun is ranked in the imperial examination and goes to the capital to become an official, will his wife follow? If a dignitary sees it, will your family be able to protect it? If something happens at that time, your family's Li Jun's future may be ruined."
