Chapter 49

Lu Chengyu was not admitted to the scholar, and the family atmosphere was very gloomy.

The old man sits on the Kang and smokes all day. Lu Tong doesn't dare to take Joe like before.

Lu Tong is really worried recently. She knows very well that her family will never pay her taxes, so she will marry her out before paying taxes. Before, several conditions were just fine, but she didn't like it, so she refused. Recently, a matchmaker came to her house, but the objects she introduced were getting worse and worse.

Lu Tong came back after washing clothes and heard someone talking in the hall. After listening carefully, she heard the voices of her mother and matchmaker Wang.

"Young master Li, there's a matchmaker in your village. It's really good."

Matchmaker Wang laughed and said, "can I cheat you? Although the Li family is not as rich as the rich people in the town, it is also one of the few families in the countryside. Moreover, the young master Li is also a scholar. If she is in high school in the future, the young lady will become an official wife. How can I not know that there are such good families in Dafeng Village? " Tang is very interested in Lu Tong's marriage recently, so he asks about the outstanding teenagers in the surrounding villages and towns.

Tang Shi suddenly thought of something, sank his face, and said: "is that young master Li the one of Li Yuan's family? Mr. Li's wife died two years ago, and he left a five-year-old son? "

Matchmaker Wang couldn't hide it. She laughed and said, "yes, Mr. Li's ex-wife is not lucky. She went there early. However, the conditions of the Li family are really good."

The Tang family was angry. The conditions of the Li Yuan family were good. The old lady was not a good friend. It is said that the first wife of the young master Li was tortured to death by the old godmother. The matchmaker introduced her daughter to a widower whose wife died.

Mr. Li's ex-wife also left a little boy, so his daughter will be a stepmother when she gets married. Mr. Li's sons are all five years old. They must be very old.

"You fat old lady, you should introduce this to my daughter. Get out of here." Tang's eyes were red with anger.

Matchmaker Wang has promoted many marriages. She has been respected all the time. She suddenly became angry and showed a sharp and mean face. "You're pretty much the same. I really think your daughter is a golden branch and jade leaf. I don't like this, but I don't like that. She's all 17 losers. She also dares to dislike Mr. Li and ask for twenty Liang betrothal gifts. That's how generous the Li family is If people are willing to go out for another family, who is willing to be the big wrongdoer? "

Hearing Wang matchmaker's words, Tang's whole body trembled with anger.

Tang has been looking forward to his daughter becoming an official wife, so that he and Lu Chengyu can support each other. However, Lu Tong can't wait any longer for his son to be a scholar, so Tang will go back and seek a wealthy family. As a result, what these people introduce are all crooked melons.

Matchmaker Wang scolds and leaves. Lu Tong dodges before matchmaker Wang comes out.

Lu Tong hated Wang matchmaker in her heart, but she also complained about her mother. She had rejected several good ones before, but now the one she introduced is not as good as the other.

Lu Tong saw that matchmaker Wang had gone before she entered the door.

Tang Shi looked at his daughter, reluctantly laughed and said: "daughter, don't pay attention to that fat woman. My mother will find a good family for you."

Lu Tong nodded, but there was no bottom in her heart.

Marriage can not get together, Wang matchmaker also has no good words, out of the Lu family sarcastic. He said that the Lu family's vision is too high. I'm afraid only senior officials can see it, and they don't see their own conditions. Many people agree with what matchmaker Wang said.

Wang matchmaker such a publicity, the villagers feel that Lu Tong's vision is too high, no money, or don't insult yourself.

On the dining table, the old man was smoking. Looking at Tang, he said anxiously: "girl, haven't you found a suitable family yet? Not yet."

The old man sighed, "I can't lower my request."

Wang moved his buttocks, looked at Lu Tong with some disgust, and said: "how can there be no good family to propose marriage? Lu Tong didn't say a word. He can feel that people in his family are more and more disgusted with her recently."

Lu Tong looks at Lu Chengyu for help. Lu Chengyu has a gloomy face and doesn't speak. Lu Chengyu is a must-have candidate for Xiucai this time, and his failure to pass the exam has a great impact on him.

Lu Tong bites her teeth and feels wronged. Lu Tong worships her brother very much. She always thinks that her brother is different from Lu Lin and will be appointed as a marquis in the future. However, at this moment, Lu Tong feels that the elder brother is just the same.

Lu's life is gloomy, but Chen Xiaomi's life is getting better and better.

Chen Xiaocai grabs the rice, "brother Lin, Lu's family seems to be looking for Lu Tong's husband. Everyone says that Lu Tong's vision is too high to find her husband's family."

Chen Xiaocai has become more cheerful recently, and his relationship with Lu Lin has become closer. If he hears any news, he will also tell Lu Lin.

Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiaocai and said, "are you still talking about this?" It's really precocious here!Chen Xiaocai some embarrassed way: "I also listen to others."

Lu Lin laughed and said, "it seems that he has offended the matchmaker." In this era, gossip can kill people. If the village's three aunts and six women spread some specious rumors, they can destroy a person's reputation, and the matchmaker's strength is one of the best.

Chen Xiaomi shook his head and said, "those matchmakers are hard to deal with."

Chen Xiaomi doesn't like Tang and the matchmaker.

"I heard that Tang seemed very anxious."

There were also some people in the village who wanted to marry Lu Tong before. However, Tang's words were too dead. He told people that toads should not want to eat swan meat. Therefore, although some of the village boys wanted to marry Lu Tong, their family did not agree. Now there seems to be no suitable person in the village. It's not easy to find one from the next village.

After dinner, Chen Xiaocai took wheat to bed.

Lu Lin sighed and said, "it's really no good for small dishes."

Chen Xiaomi shook his head, "no way."

Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi have made a lot of money recently. They are not short of money. Other things are on the agenda. For example, Chen Xiaomi wants to send Chen Xiaocai to school. However, people here pay great attention to reputation. Chen Xiaomi's reputation is so bad that Chen Xiaocai is also involved. Although they are willing to give a shuxiu, the teachers in the town don't accept it.

"That master is really pedantic." Lu Lin's dissatisfaction.

Chen Xiaomi bit his lip and said, "if you can't read it, you can't read it. In this case, even if you are a scholar, you may have to delete it."

If you want to be an official here, you have to assess your character. Even if Xiaocai is really a scholar, when the time comes, if yenai goes to make trouble, it is likely to be cancelled. How difficult it is to be a scholar! Tang boasted all day that Lu Chengyu was a star of Wenqu. Didn't he pass the exam?

Lu Lin sighed and said, "think about it later."

Even if it's forced to cram vegetables into the college, it's not a good thing if they are excluded from the college. Campus violence is terrible.

Chen Xiaomi pause for a moment, way: "reading is nothing good." Chen Jing also studies, but it doesn't seem to be promising. Most of the income of the Chen family is given to his cousin. Yenai almost takes Chen Jing to heaven. Chen Jing says that he wants to buy Pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He asks yenai for money, but yenai should not.

In contrast, their family is very tired. They have to hand in all the money they earn.

Chen Xiaomi always feels that Chen Jing always has a puff of powder on him. He may not have studied in the town at all, but ran to the land of fireworks to fool around.

Many rich families in the town seem to regard it as elegant to go to Hualou. Those young masters are not short of money, but Chen Jing is reluctant to bear the cost of Hualou.

Lu Lin thought about it and said, "wait a little longer. If the conditions are better, just invite a teacher." Lu Lin doesn't expect Chen Xiaocai to be rich. He just wants to read.

More than half a month has passed without any sound. This half month is busy with spring planting and finding someone else for Lu Chengyu and Lu Tong. Lu's family is in chaos.

Someone from the Lu family came again and asked Lu Lin to go back to work. This time it was the old man.

"Come back to work with me, Lin boy." The old man is used to giving orders at home. When he meets Lu Lin, he doesn't know what politeness means. "You stinky boy, don't even listen to your grandfather?"

"Grandfather, I'm still cutting firewood. I can't finish it today. I don't have a meal to eat at night."

"I know how to be lazy and make excuses." Lu Laozi was infuriated by Lu Lin.

If Lu Lin said at the beginning that Chen Xiaomi was not good to him, Mr. Lu believed it. After all, the villagers knew Chen Xiaomi's temper. However, Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi have been acting together all this time. They talk and laugh. Lu Lin has gained a lot of weight. People with eyes can see that Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi get along well.

"You son of a bitch, if you marry your daughter-in-law, you will be ungrateful and forget who raised you so much." The old man is a bit angry.

Lu Lin sighed and said, "of course, I won't forget that the Lu family raised me, but I'm afraid I'll be hurt when I go back! I had a dream about my father two days ago. He said that he died miserably. A lot of big knives came at him. He was so painful that he could not die peacefully. A person died desolately outside and could not enter his ancestral grave. "

The old man's face suddenly changed when he heard Lu Lin's words. At that time, he hesitated to let his second son go to the battlefield. However, the old woman said that the second son was a tough man. He would be fine if he went. He was not sure that he could make some military contributions, so the old man was excited.

"Grandfather, my father is most filial and cares about you. Does he have a dream for you? What can I tell you? "

The old man gave Lu Lin a fierce look and left in ashes.

Lu Lin looked at the old man's departure and gave a cold smile.

Chen Xiaomi came out of the room, looked at Lu Lin, some worried way: "know nonsense."

Lu Lin shrugged his shoulders and said in secret: people in this era are still awed by ghosts and gods. Chen Xiaomi knows that he is not the original Lu Lin, so he may be worried about pulling out the dead father as a cover.Chen Xiaomi subconsciously grasped Lu Lin's arm.

"It's OK." Lu Lin patted Chen Xiaomi's hand and comforted him.
