Chapter 833： Annunciation

Chapter 833 Annunciation

This matter was unexpected by Bai Jinbei and Feng Shi. After all, what Xiaocui meant was that she had liked Zhang Menyi for a long time, but Zhang Menyi didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about her.

To this end, Bai Jinbei prepared a basket of words to persuade Zhang Menyi.

Now Zhang Menyi came to the door with so many things and money, and he seemed to value Xiaocui very much, which was completely different from what he imagined.

Bai Jinbei and Feng were curious and couldn't bear their temper, so they asked Zhang Menyi why he didn't come to the door earlier.

Zhang Menyi was a little embarrassed, but finally he explained.

He had known Xiao Cui's intentions early on, and felt that Xiao Cui was diligent and virtuous, so he was quite happy in his heart. However, he was not young, and he was a widower. A girl who looked like a little green flower, married into the family of his eldest brother, a rough man. Xiaocui is really a little wronged.

So Zhang Menyi tidied up his house, built two more rooms, and separated the courtyard wall to separate the yard where he lived from the yard where he raised sheep, making it look cleaner. .

In addition, Zhang Menyi devoted himself to feeding the sheep, letting more ewes give birth to lambs, saving all the money from selling them, and preparing money for betrothal gifts and money to redeem Xiaocui's slave contract.

These things look simple, but are actually not easy to do. It took more than a year, so it was postponed to this time.

The reason why he didn’t reveal much to Xiao Cui was because he thought that if Xiao Cui could find someone better than him...

 Bai Jinbei and Feng Shi heard this and sighed in their hearts. They also felt that Zhang Menyi was honest and honest. He looked like a rough guy, but actually knew how to care for others. They felt that Xiao Cui was a blessing.

In short, since Zhang Menyi was interested, the matter would be easy to handle. The two families hit it off immediately and decided on the marriage.

 Bai Jinbei and Feng Shi naturally did not ask for Zhang Menyi's money to redeem the slave deed. Instead, they took the initiative to release Xiao Cui's slave deed. They even wanted to help Xiao Cui collect the dowry just like marrying a daughter.

As for the money Zhang Menyi originally planned to redeem the slave deed, Zhang Menyi still insisted on giving it as a betrothal gift.

After all, if you want to marry a girl, this bride price is indispensable.

 Bai Jinbei and Feng Shi collected it first, preparing to **** the bottom of the box when they came back, and gave them to Xiao Cui.

The matter was settled, and all that was left was to follow the wedding etiquette and customs. When Su Mulan saw Feng, she asked casually.

"I leave this matter to my mother-in-law." Ms. Feng smiled slyly, "There have been no happy events for my mother-in-law in the past few years. Now Xiaohong and Xiaozi have to worry about the chores at home. My mother-in-law is getting more and more idle. ”

"I discussed with Jin Bei. Seeing that my mother-in-law was really busy with her free time and she was not energetic every day, I suggested to my mother-in-law whether she would like to be busy with this matter."

"Originally, I was afraid that my mother-in-law would blame me for finding things for her to do at such a young age. But when my mother-in-law heard about this, she was as happy as a flower and even said that she would say this. We don’t have to worry about it anymore, she’ll make sure it’s done beautifully.”

"I'm thinking about it, I guess Jin Bei is the only one in the family. My mother-in-law has no daughter, and she has never experienced the power of marrying a daughter, or the importance of buying a dowry. This time I have a chance."

"When I first came out, I saw her going to find Aunt Liu to discuss the rules for a married girl. She wanted to walk with the wind under her feet."

Old people who are getting older are just like children, they love to be lively and festive.

The Feng family is living a comfortable life, and their children and grandchildren are all filial. For the old lady, there really is nothing to worry about, and she is getting more and more tired.

When a person is tired, has no goals, and has nothing to look forward to, his heart will be empty and he will have no energy. This is not good for the elderly.

Now that I am busy, I see that people have to organize things and work hard for a few days, but their energy and spirit are completely different. For the old man, this is actually a good thing.

Feng said so vividly that Su Mulan pursed her lips and smiled, but she nodded in agreement, "That's what happened." After talking about Xiao Cui, the two of them talked about something else and laughed. , until it got dark, they dispersed.

A few days later, Bai Yonghe and Bai Midou returned from school in the county.

"Why are you back at this time?" Bai Shitang and Su Mulan were both a little surprised.

I remember Bai Midou said that this holiday would have to wait until the Dragon Boat Festival. It was only the end of February now, and school had only started for more than a month.

“They are both back to bring good news.”

Shopkeeper Guo was the one who sent Baimi Dou and Bai Yonghe back. He was all smiles now, "Both of them have made it to the county examination. This is a great event, especially for Yonghe, who came in second place." As for the good results, although Mi Dou is a little worse, it is not at the bottom, it is considered to be a little below average. "

Hearing this, Sumulan and Bai Shitang looked at each other.

Bai Yonghe has been studying for many years, and he started early. It is not surprising that he came second in the exam.

As for Bai MiDou, he is young and has not studied for a short time, so it is normal for him to get an average grade in the exam.

It is indeed very good for Bai Mi Dou to pass the county examination for the first time.

However, Su Mulan and Bai Shitang had no idea that Bai Mi Dou was going to take the county examination.

The couple looked at each other without revealing anything on their faces. They only sent a message to Shopkeeper Guo who wanted to go back to Linglong Pavilion, and stuffed Bai Yonghe with some snacks as a congratulation to him.

After all the outsiders left, Su Mulan and Bai Shitang went to the main room with Bai Midou.

"In the county examination, it is said that four people from the village and one scholar must be recommended before they can participate. How did you do it?" Bai Shitang asked.

"I secretly found Uncle Li Zheng and asked him to help me find people in the village. I also asked the teacher from the county school to help me find his students and recommend them for me." How did Baimi Dou answer?

Bai Shitang glanced at Bai Midou and said, "Why don't you tell your family about such a thing?"

Bai Mi Dou scratched his head, "I just wanted to give it a try and play with Brother Yonghe. I didn't want to alarm you, and I wanted to wait until I got the results to tell you."

Obviously, Baimi Dou only wants to report good things to his family, not bad things.

Su Mulan could understand after hearing this.

No matter how much you say, reading is just for understanding things, but in such an environment of the times, no matter what, you can't have the mentality of a sage, and you still want to get fame and get ahead.

 Bai Mi Dou is the only male child in the family, so he is naturally burdened with a certain amount of pressure.

Su Mulan sighed in her heart and thought about comforting Bai Midou.

When he arrived at Bai Shitang, he shouted sharply, "Bai Mi Dou, your surname is Bai, and you are a child of the family. You have parents, sisters, and relatives!"
