Chapter 50

"Is Lu Chengyu going to get married?" Lu Lin was a little surprised.

Chen Xiaocai nodded, "I heard so."

Chen Xiaomi thought to himself: Lu Lin is so slow. He needs a piece of cake to tell him such a thing.

Lu Chengyu and his former owner Lu Lin were born one after another. Lu Chengyu was born more than ten days earlier than Lu Lin. although they were only ten days earlier, their treatment was very different. Lu Chengyu, the eldest grandson of the Lu family, is the flesh and blood of the two elders of the Lu family, while Lu Lin seems to have picked it up.

"Well, did he pay taxes last year?" Lu Lin was a bit gloating. Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "it seems so."

Lu Chengyu is bigger than Lu Lin. Lu Lin had to pay taxes last year if he didn't become a burden.

Chen Xiaomi went to Lu Lin to join Lu's family and knew something about Lu's family. Lu Chengyu's eyes were not always high. He thought he was a scholar and a talent favored by the College Tutor. He didn't like the village girls in the countryside. However, the good women in the city didn't like the places under Lu Chengyu's hometown. A child boy has attracted a lot of attention. However, in the eyes of urban residents, the scholar is very popular If you have land at home, you can also get 20 acres of tax free. The tax on 20 acres of land is also a lot of money.

Tang originally intended to wait for Lu Cheng Yucheng to become a scholar and get married again. At that time, he could choose vigorously. The child's words are still lower.

Before, when the upper authorities wanted to collect taxes, Tang also tried to find someone for Lu Chengyu as soon as possible. He really couldn't do it. He had to find someone to make do with it first, and then he would replace his son when he was in high school in the future.

The Tang family has the intention of marrying Lu Chengyu. Matchmakers from all walks of life are still very interested. Lu's family is in a good condition. Lu Chengyu is a child. If she didn't have to pay taxes now, she would not be so anxious to find her daughter-in-law.

Each matchmaker introduced Lu Chengyu a lot. At her age, Lu Chengyu was also looking forward to marriage. At the beginning, when the matchmaker came, he was also enthusiastic. However, seeing that several matchmakers introduced him to rural women with poor conditions, some of them lost interest.

Lu Chengyu felt that the matchmakers felt that he was anxious to marry a wife and avoid paying taxes, so he felt that he had found an opportunity and introduced some crooked melons to him.

In this way, Lu Chengyu is very resistant to marriage.

Tang had no choice but to pay Lu Chengyu three liang of silver in taxes. A few days ago, Lu Chengyu failed in the spring exam again. It's also a matter of luck to be a scholar. Many people are just old children when they get to 50 or 60. They will have to wait another year if they fail this time.

Lu Chengyu failed again, which made Tang feel that his marriage was not good enough to delay. If it was not good enough, he would find someone who was less qualified to deal with it first and take the test slowly. There would always be a golden day.

There are also several scholars in the village. This time, all the scholars are destroyed.

"It's hard to test a scholar!" Chen Xiaomi said.

Lu Lin laughed and said, "yes!"

If it is not difficult to test a scholar, he will not be so respected. Although they are all scholars, some scholars of noble families take a lot of advantage. They are not only tutors who teach their studies and are knowledgeable, but also have huge financial resources to support them. They don't care about anything except study.

Lu Lin rubbed his chin and said with great interest: "Lu Chengyu is married. Do you know who she married?"

Chen Xiaocai frowned and said, "it's said that she's a girl from a county official's family."

Lu Chengyu was not admitted as a scholar and was ridiculed by some village women.

Now, Lu Chengyu and the daughter of the town's officials have settled down, and the Tang family is shaking again.

"Senior official?" Lu Lin frowned. It's exaggeration to be a senior official. If he was really a senior official, he would go to inquire about it and make plans.

After Lu Lin came out, he bumped into Lu Chengyu twice. Lu Chengyu's attitude was cold every time, and he beat him to be quiet. Don't think that he can get Joe if he's not stingy with Chen Xiaomi.

Chen Xiaomi took a look at Lu Lin and said, "it should have been passed on by the blind."

If Lu Chengyu were a scholar, she might marry a relative of a senior official. But now she's just a child. Besides, when the tax policy was introduced last year, those with better conditions were basically found.

Lu Lin held his chin and said, "in a few days, the last batch of sweet potato wine will be almost there. If you send it to the city, you can ask shopkeeper Wang directly." Many people discuss things in restaurants, and the information of people in restaurants is relatively well-informed.

Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "it's OK."

A few days later, when Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi went to the city to deliver wine, they inquired about it by the way.

Li fangyue Shopkeeper Wang was stunned when he heard Lu Lin's question.

Lu Lin nodded and said, "well, it's said that Li fangyue is the daughter of the county master."

Shopkeeper Wang laughed and said, "how is this spread?" In a mess, Li fangyue does have a little relationship with the master bookkeeper's family, but it's not like this. Li fangyue is the third daughter of the Li family, and there is a eldest sister who married the master bookkeeper. Therefore, the master bookkeeper is Li fangyue's brother-in-law. However, Li fangyue's elder sister is just a concubine.Although she was only a concubine, the Li family always said that Li Ru was the wife of the master.

Li Ru is very good. It's said that she is very popular with the master. Outsiders don't know the inside story. They only know that the eldest daughter of the Li family has married the master, that is, manager Wang. She has many ways to know the inside story. "The eldest daughter of the Li family is beautiful, but the three daughters are much more mediocre."

Lu Lin knew about it from shopkeeper Wang, and his heart was almost settled.

Chen Xiaomi sat in the car and said: "although it's too different from the master's daughter, it still has something to do with it. If Lu Chengyu and Li fangyue get married, the master will be their brother-in-law. "

Lu Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "it's just a concubine."

There is a big difference between wife and concubine. The common sons here have no right of inheritance. However, if Li Ru is promoted to be Ping's wife, it will be different.

Chen Xiaomi tilted her head and said, "when the matchmaker introduces her marriage, she always goes to a good place and says that she should not mention that Li Ru is a concubine."

Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin later went to inquire about Li Ru, and found that the ordinary residents in the town were not very clear about Li Ru's affairs. If they didn't want to inquire about this kind of private affairs in the back house, it would be very difficult to find out. In addition, every time Li Ru came back to the Li family, she always had a big bag and a small bag, which made her very proud.

"I heard Xiaocai say that the old lady has been complaining about the unfair examination at home. All the rich young men in the town have given money to the examiners. Therefore, her gifted grandson didn't get into the scholar examination. On the contrary, those rich young men who only know how to eat, drink and have fun got into the examination."

I don't think the old lady's words are her own. Maybe it's Lu Chengyu's words. The old lady thinks it's true when she hears them. She can't say that it's possible for her to do favoritism. Of course, it's also possible that Lu Chengyu's level is still poor.

Lu Lin inherited the memory of the original owner and was deeply impressed by Lu Chengyu. In the original owner's impression, his cousin was very capable of reading and had a high vision.

"Since shopkeeper Wang said that Li fangyue's beauty is mediocre, it should be really not so long."

"Lu Chengyu can take a fancy to Li fangyue, because she should take a fancy to the relationship behind Li fangyue."

"It's almost Lu Chengtong's turn to get married. It's time to decide."

Lu Chengyu is over age, and Lu Tong is at the age of paying taxes. The girl wanted to wait for Lu Chengyu high school, but now she can't wait.

Lu's family is going to have a lot of happy events recently. However, it should have nothing to do with him.

Chen family.

"Grandson, this Wang's tail is going to go up to the sky. It's making her frivolous." Li is not willing to talk to Chen jingman.

The old Mrs. Chen and the old Mrs. Lu had a big fight before, and the two sides got married.

Years ago, Chen Jing was admitted as a child student, but Lu Chengyu was not admitted as a scholar.

Now that the Wang family has married Li fangyue, Mrs. Wang has to get up again. She feels that it's just around the corner for her grandson to become a scholar.

When Li saw Wang's complacency, he was not happy.

Chen Jing took a look at the old lady and said, "grandma, listen to the old lady's nonsense! Lu Chengyu, I used to think highly of him. I've been making trouble for a long time, but I want to rely on nepotism. "

Although Chen Jing said so, he was always sour in his heart.

Scholars, who can not expect to be a gold medal winner, but Chen Jing knows his lessons are not good, so he does not dare to expect.

"Sun Tzu, what's the matter with Li fangyue?"

Chen Jing some embarrassed way: "it is heard that there is some relationship with the main book, but I heard that the beauty is mediocre."

The old lady had a bad taste. In the old lady's opinion, whether she looks good or not is secondary. It would be good if she could really take advantage of the county magistrate's relationship and become a scholar.

Zhang Yuehong, whom Chen Jing married a few years ago, looks good. However, she doesn't know how to work. Every time the old lady says more about her, Zhang Yuehong cries to Chen Jing. The old lady can't do anything about her granddaughter-in-law.

It's really the daughter of the official family. "The old lady can't help feeling a little uncomfortable. She feels that she's been crushed. Chen Jing smiles and says," it's still up to her to take the imperial examination. Even if she has the relationship with the county magistrate, it may not be useful. "

The old lady sighed and said, "it's better to have something to do with it than nothing to do with it."

Chen Jing lowered his head and couldn't say what he was feeling.

"I don't know what kind of family the Lu family wants to find for Lu Tong. It seems that no one in our village can get into the girl's eyes." The old lady sniffed.
