Chen Si looked at him puzzled: "You are all the only children, what is there to compare?"


    Zhang Fangyuan kicked him under the table. Chen Si was in pain: "What do you want to compare? You are a butcher, he is a scholar, how doest the words in the book say it, it’s completely different! There is no way to compare."

    "Then if you are a woman or a ge’er, you want to choose one as a husband, who do you choose?"

 



    Chen Si looked at Zhang Fangyuan a little confused, and didn't want to make such assumptions, but because Zhang Fangyuan's strong and powerful fists were gradually clenched, he still said: "If I am a little ge’er , I’ll choose you.”

    “Why?”

    Chen Si patted Fangyuan’s hard chest, and smiled like a spring breeze: “Look at how strong this body is, how can a pale-skinned scholar compare to it?”

    “Get lost!”

    Zhang Fangyuan stretched out his leg, and Chen Si fell to the ground with a kick.

    The Fei family.

    When Fei Lian arrived home, Fei's mother had just come back from the field. Seeing her son coming home, she was so happy that she scooped a ladle of water from the water tank in the yard to wash off the mud on her hands: "Mother will cook for you. Make something delicious."

    "Okay." Fei Lian went back to his room and put down his book bag, fearing that the academy uniform would get dirty when he returned home, so he also changed his clothes.

    "Master read the article I wrote recently, and said that the progress is not small, and the exam is very promising."

    After changing his clothes, Fei Lian went to the kitchen, and took the initiative to report to Fei's mother about the study in the academy.

 

    Fei's mother couldn't hide the smile on her face, as if the monthly money specially allocated by the imperial court to a talented scholar and the fertile land had already arrived, and the eyes of the villagers had turned red with envy: "My son is promising, the Fei family’s prosperity is expected! It’s not in vain that parents have worked so hard all these years for you to study.”

    Fei Lian pursed his lips, and threw the broken firewood into the stove: “Mother, I’m not young now, and I’ll be weak crown (20 years old) in two years. “

 

“Although the scholars got married late, but..." Fei Lian was embarrassed to finish what he said later: "After the son passes the exam this time, if he can get good grades, I think..."

    Fei's mother naturally knew her son. Wanting to marry a wife, she said gratifiedly: "My son has grown up. Even if you don't tell me, mother also has this plan. Now that you have brought it up, mother will simply talk to you."

    "A while ago, mother went to Xu’s house as a guest, and I had a good talk with Mrs. Xu, and after your exam, we will go to Xu’s house to propose marriage.”



    Fei Lian’s hands trembled excitedly when he heard the words, and the light in his eyes suddenly brightened, and he suddenly jumped near the stove and stood up in front of his mother: "As the saying goes, there is no one who knows a child better than a mother. A mother really knows her son's heart."

    "Sit down quickly." Seeing her son so happy that he didn't know where to go, Fei's mother was also happy, but she couldn't say anything. She didn't understand why, but she still said: "You can talk to Shaochun, that girl is really good, and she is good at giving birth, and Lian'er will be able to grow become an official with her by your side in the future."

 



    Fei Lian was taken aback, and the smile on his face froze immediately: "Shao, Shaochun...Mother decided to be Shaochun."

    "Then who else is there, the Xu family only has two children, could it be Xu He." Fei's mother was puzzled and said, "Little ge’er is nothing, but his talent is not equal to Lian'er, do you want to make the villagers laugh at you?"

    Fei Lian said anxiously: "But, but I..."

    Fei's mother was taken aback, raised her eyelids slightly, looked at her son with a reluctant face, and said in shock, "Could it be that Lian'er has taken a fancy to Xu He!?"

    Fei Lian didn't speak, just lowered his head.

    Fei's mother dropped the spatula, and walked anxiously from the stove to Fei Lian. She even wondered if she was controlling her son too strictly, preventing girls and ge’ers from the village to approache him, causing his son to be a little distorted: " That Xu He is tall and thin, dark like a dry monkey, and has a weird and withdrawn personality, what does Lian'er look up to him? His second sister is the most beautiful girl in our village, and even the men in the neighboring village are thinking about her!"

    She talked about the benefits of Xu Shaochun and belittled Xu He, but Fei Lian showed a look of pain: "I think He ge’er is very good, he is diligent and not lazy, the most important thing is motivated and willing to learn. But Shaochun... she is also good, she looks like a beautiful and good wife, but she doesn't like reading and writing..."


    Fei's mother shook her head: "Let's not say that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue. Xu He is definitely not good. Even if you don't want Xu Shaochun, it can't be Xu He. It's too ridiculous. Yes, it's not only your mother doesn't agree, your uncle won't agree either. Could it be that you want your mother to be laughed at by the people around? Your mother has worked so hard for you to study, and you want to disobey your parents' wishes and make your parents sad ..."

    Seeing that Fei Lian didn't speak for a long time, Fei's mother suddenly burst into tears: "Mother raised you, I don't ask you to repay your parents, I just hope you listen to me. Now that you are old, you have your own mind, you heartless child."

    "Mother, mother, I didn't mean that." Seeing his mother so at a loss, Fei Lian said, "The son, the son, just follow your orders."

    Seeing this, Fei's mother stopped crying: "Really?"

    Fei Lian closed his eyes in pain and nodded.

    "Mother is for your own good."

    "I know..."
