Chapter 261 Ma Tongsheng Takes the Exam
and......
When she got closer, she found that Jiang Zhuzi was quite good-looking.
Maybe because he seldom does farm work, he is not very dark.
His skin is not as rough as that of a farm boy.
If he changed into a set of clothes made of fine fabric, people would probably think he grew up in the city.
The two chatted for more than a quarter of an hour.
Wang called him back.
At this time, Widow Liu looked very unhappy. As soon as her son came back, she took him and left.
Just walked out of the Sun family’s gate.
Jiang Zhuzi hurriedly asked, "Mom, when are we going to ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage?"
"Propose a marriage? What marriage? When did mother agree to marry you? You really don't know, son. The Sun family is not easy to deal with. They actually asked for five taels of betrothal gifts, and also wanted to give a hundred coins to each of her four younger brothers. I have never heard of giving money to the younger brothers of the wife's family when marrying her. It is really unheard of.
She is so greedy, she is trying every possible way to empty our family. No, we can't marry her. Son, listen to me for once, okay? I promise to find you a girl who is as pretty as her. There are many Wang Xiaotao and Li Xiaotao in the world. We don't want her, okay? We really can't afford to marry her. If we really marry her, what will we eat and drink? "
Widow Liu's lips were turned down deeply, and she tried her best to suppress the urge to get angry.
I saw that my son looked very bad.
She gave in again and pretended to be pitiful.
"Mom, I just want to marry her. Please, I promise that after we get married, I will work hard on the farm. All the work in the fields will be given to me, and there will be bamboo tubes, which will also be a long-term income for the pen. Our family can obviously afford to marry her, so why don't you let me marry her? Don't you make money for me? What's the use of you wanting money?"
Jiang Zhuzi, who was angry, didn't want to listen to any nonsense at all.
He only wants to marry Sun Xiaotao.
He doesn't want Wang Xiaotao or Li Xiaotao, even if they are a hundred times better than Sun Xiaotao.
The mother and son quarreled all the way to Jiangjia Village and finally parted on bad terms.
Jiang Zhuzi ran off to look for his bad friends.
Widow Liu also lay on the table in the main room, wiping her tears.
"Mother, since my brother wants to marry, let him marry. I will be married in a few days. If you push my brother too hard and he doesn't come back, who will you rely on?"
Jiang Yadan's eyes were swollen like walnuts.
The wedding day is getting closer.
She couldn't sleep every night and her pillow was wet with tears.
But she never told her mother that she didn't want to get married.
Widow Liu was not blind, so she could naturally see that her daughter's eyes were swollen from crying.
But she pretended not to see it.
Just know how to complain.
At this time, in the other town.
Jiang Fubao, who was tired of playing in the backyard, came to the front of the shop again. She sat on the doorstep, chatting and joking with the customers in line, but her eyes looked towards the street from time to time.
The person who was monitoring my family didn't come today.
"Xiao Fubao, would you like to go home with your uncle? Your uncle's house is very big, and there are all kinds of delicious and fun things. You can be your uncle's granddaughter."
This is the eighteenth weird uncle who wants to take me home.
Jiang Fubao wanted to roll his eyes, but he held it back.
"If uncle likes me, please come to the shop more often to see me. As for uncle's house, I won't go there. Grandma will miss me if she can't see me for a while. I can't let grandma be sad. I'm sorry, uncle."
"Hahaha, look how clever the child is. Okay, okay, uncle will come often in the future, not for food, but just to see our Fubao!"
As soon as Jiang Fubao said this, the people queuing at the door all burst into laughter.
The man who was speaking also stroked his beard and promised her that he would come to the shop often.
Easily answer questions from adults.
Jiang Fubao stood up, patted his little butt and prepared to go back.
Just as she turned around.
A carriage passed by the door.
In less than a minute, another carriage followed.
"Husband, I miss you so much~"
Zhou Yuanyuan leaned on Ma Wuxing's shoulder, her voice was charming, and she changed her address from Xinglang to husband.
The two of them looked so intimate, as if they were a newly married couple.
At least that's what the driver in front thought.
"Is my son well behaved? If he feels uncomfortable, please tell me and I will ask the driver to drive slower so as not to bump my baby son."
Ma Wuxing touched Zhou Yuanyuan's belly.
There is expectation in his eyes.
The one contained here is his eldest son.
"I'm fine. Our son knows that his father is going to take the exam, so he is very well behaved. My husband, if you can pass the exam and become a scholar or even a juren, you..."
Zhou Yuanyuan paused halfway through her speech.
There were suddenly tears in her eyes.
She was seen biting her lower lip and sniffing, looking extremely pitiful.
It makes people want to cherish her.
"I know what you want to say. Don't worry, I won't let you be my concubine. My eldest son cannot be born out of wedlock. As long as I pass the imperial examination, I will divorce Wangshu immediately and marry you."
It is said that scholars are poor and juren are rich.
I have never seen a scholar who couldn’t take money out of his pocket.
Even if I fail to pass the imperial examination in the future, I can still get a minor official position.
The reason I married Wangshu was because her family was rich.
For nothing else.
But now his father-in-law is so stingy that he can’t make any more money from him, so why should he keep Wangshu?
When I think of the ugly face of the tigress at home.
Ma Wuxing felt like vomiting.
It was not until he saw Zhou Yuanyuan beside him that the nausea in his heart gradually faded away.
"Husband, you are bad~"
The sound of the two people playing reached the coachman's ears through the curtain.
He swallowed.
Pretend not to hear.
When they arrived at the city gate and were checked and allowed to pass by the guards, the carriage turned a corner and continued on its way.
What the three didn't know was.
A hundred meters away, there was another carriage following them.
"Don't get too close, and don't be too far away. Just keep this distance. Remember, don't lose me."
Chang Ying said to the coachman who was driving the car.
"Yes, sir, don't worry, I promise to follow closely and will never lose you. I have been driving for more than ten years, and everyone praises my stable carriage."
The groom has a cheerful personality.
You can chat with anyone.
But Chang Yu was just a servant and had a mission to accomplish.
I don't want to talk to the groom at all.
After giving the order, he returned to his carriage and sat back down.
He didn't even reply to the groom.
The coachman felt ignored, curled his lips, and continued on his way without saying anything more.
The sun climbed higher and higher.
Until it stopped on the treetops.
At this time, it was already noon.
Jiang Tongmu and Meng Bujiu had just arrived at Kong Ming's house.
They found that Wan Xian had already prepared a table of food and was waiting for them.
"Hello, Auntie. Sorry to bother you. Mingxue said you like sweet soup, so my grandma asked me to bring a few servings."
Jiang Tongmu opened the lunch box, and found exactly five servings of sweet soup inside.
The watermelon was cut into large pieces, and a lot of taro balls were added.
The portion is much larger than what is sold in the shop.
