When Ren He went to Beijing to take the exam, he went to Baoen Temple to burn incense and make wishes, and to worship his ancestors at the ancestral hall. He set off a whole basket of firecrackers, but when he came back, there was no sound. When he entered the city in the evening, it was dark.

After arriving home, it was not until the afternoon of the fourth day that the neighbors knew he was back.

The old man passed away five years ago, but the old lady is still alive.

Knowing that he would try Chinese food, she was not in a good mood, and she was very tired after traveling all the way back from the capital. The old lady never said anything. Before she knew it, more than a month had passed, and when she saw him, he always shut himself in the room, opening the door.

Without even leaving the door, the old lady couldn't bear it any longer, so she called her second son, Ren Yuan, and knocked on the door together.

"There is no Chinese style this year, but you can still take the exam next year. If you are so good at passing the Jinshi, can you still be called a Jinshi? Mr. Gu took the exam several times before passing the exam. Mother knows that you have a good spirit. It is a good thing to have a high spirit, but you can't

My mother feels distressed when she keeps shutting herself in the room like this..."

"Mom, please don't misunderstand me. I have not given up on myself." Ren He pointed to the book he had just put down and emphasized: "You also said that the exam will be taken next year. Since the exam will be taken next year, I can't be unprepared. I am studying hard.

Woolen cloth!"

The old lady was illiterate, didn't know what he was reading, and didn't care what he was reading these days. She held his hand and said, "He'er, it's important to study hard, and your life's events are even more important. As the saying goes, a man should get married first.

Girls should get married when they are older. People get married and have children when they are fifteen or sixteen years old. You are twenty-five and you don’t even have a family. Although our family is not rich, it is not poor, not to mention that you are not only handsome but also a good man. You want to marry someone.

It’s not difficult to find a well-matched wife, so don’t put it off any longer, okay?”

Ren Yuan couldn't help but muttered: "Yes, brother, we really can't delay it any longer. If you delay it any longer, others will think there's something wrong with you."

Ren He subconsciously asked: "Second brother, where do you start talking about this?"

"If you are twenty-five years old and don't marry and have children, what will others think and what will they say behind your back?" Ren He asked back, and then said: "There are three worst unfilial piety and not having children, and you are the eldest son of our family.

If you don’t marry, have children, and spread the branches of our family, to put it bluntly, I really feel sorry for the ancestors of our Ren family.”

When it came to marrying a wife and having children, Ren He thought of the beautiful image of Qin'er. He was stunned for a moment when he thought that Qin'er was already Han Si's mother-in-law.

The old lady didn't know what he was thinking, so she said decisively: "In a moment, I will ask Yuan'er to find a matchmaker to go to the Liu family in Jiangbei to propose marriage. The Liu family is a scholarly family, and the third son of the Liu family is also a scholar. He is a classmate and the same year as you. This

The marriage is a perfect match!"

"Mom, you mean Liu Shanyang's little sister who is waiting to be married?" Ren He asked in surprise.

"What's wrong?" The old lady knew what he was thinking this time. She patted his sign and said earnestly: "He'er, although the fifth daughter of the Liu family is not pretty, she is a serious lady. Not only

She is virtuous and can be a good seductress. You have to marry someone like this when you want a wife. It is not easy to be good-looking and handsome. When you become Chinese in the future, you can take a good-looking concubine. Even if you take a vixen-like concubine back, I won’t care."

Ren Yuan knew the old lady's good intentions. Seeing that Ren He was about to speak, he couldn't help but said: "Brother, the Liu family is a famous rich man in Jiangbei. They have thousands of acres of land in the countryside alone. If you are willing to marry Liu

The fifth young lady of our family, this dowry will definitely not be small."

Afraid that her eldest son would not agree, the old lady groaned and said with sobs: "He'er, your father is not up to par. He has been studying all his life and failed to pass the exam. He has ruined the family business and lost all the legacy left by his ancestors. Fortunately, Bodhisattva

Bless you, you have given our family some peace of mind. But you still have to take the Jinshi exam. The travel expenses for going to Beijing to take the exam, the expenses after arriving in the capital, and socializing with classmates and friends all cost money. Last year, all those who could talk were paid for by others.

Come on, you can't talk to anyone again this year, even if it's not for this family but for yourself, you still have to agree to this marriage."

I went to the capital and spent more than a thousand taels. Last year, I only had half of the money I raised through "discussing and revising the genealogy" and visiting relatives and friends.

The Ren family is not as wealthy as the Liu family. There is not much land in the countryside, there are no shops in the city, and there is no business at home. If you don't think of a way, you will really have nothing to do.

Ren He didn't want to make the old lady sad, nor did he want his younger brother to endure the same hardships as before. He gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "Mom, I listen to you. We are already twenty-five this year, and we cannot delay this wedding any longer."

"Okay, Mom is just waiting for your words."

…

The old lady was not innocent, because a few months ago she went to Baoen Temple to offer incense, and she happened to meet the old lady of the Liu family who also went to pray for Bodhisattva's blessings from Liu Shanyang High School in the capital. Not only were Ren He and Liu Shanyang classmates in the same year, they also went to the capital to take the exam together.

Yes, the two ladies had a very lively conversation. When they were having a vegetarian meal in the temple after offering good incense and making vows, the old lady of the Liu family took the initiative to bring up the matter of getting married, so the old lady of the Ren family kept it in her heart.

However, the matchmaker invited by Ren Er rushed to Jiangbei Hall in excitement and did not see the old lady of the Liu family, only Liu Juren. Liu Juren said that his father was ill in bed and could not bear the torment, and that his sister's life-long events would have to wait for his father.

Let’s talk about it after my health gets better.

The matchmaker is a person who eats from hundreds of families, and she has long developed the ability to observe people's emotions. How could she not hear that the Liu family was unwilling to marry the fifth lady to Ren He. It was already evening when she returned to the Ren family in anger, and when she saw the waiting

The old lady of the Ren family and Ren Er had been vomiting all afternoon and said: "The Liu family is now headed by Liu Juren. If Liu Juren doesn't agree, it's useless for me to say anything. Old lady, how about I help your eldest son?"

When it comes to a marriage, the woman’s family will have a great career, and the status of the man in the woman’s family will be equally noble!”

The old lady was confused. She was stunned for a while before she asked doubtfully: "Qi Po, the old lady of the Liu family said something good to me, but why did she change her mind just a few months later?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, I don't think this marriage will happen, no matter who you invite to tell me." The matchmaker was afraid that the old lady wouldn't believe it, so she added: "It stands to reason that the more someone in the family is sick, the more likely it is to celebrate, but Liu Juren

He actually said that his old man was sick and couldn't stand the torture. Old lady, tell me what kind of excuse this is to lie to a three-year-old child!"

The old lady of the Liu family agreed, but Liu Juren disagreed. Thinking of what happened in the capital, Ren Yuan guessed a little bit, but he didn't know how the old lady should explain it, so she simply asked: "Qi Po, that family you just mentioned

What's your last name? Are you from Ba County?"

"My surname is Wei, and I live in Chaotianxiang."

"There are many people from outside Chaotianxiang, not many locals, and I have never heard of a wealthy family named Wei." The old lady murmured.

"Mr. Wei is not from our Ba County. Mr. Wei is from Fujian. He has several porcelain shops in his family, and his business is huge!" The matchmaker paused and said with excitement: "Mr. Wei is not only from the Fujian Guild Hall.
