Finally, Mrs. Sun let out a long sigh.

"If I had known today, why would I have done it in the first place?"

Yang Huazhong also shook his head and sighed.

…

Those who heard the sound of firecrackers were also the Lao Mu family.

At that time, Widow Liu was drinking tea and talking with her parents in the main room.

My mother-in-law, Mrs. Song, Mu Zichuan's two uncles and two aunts all came over.

A room full of people.

At the same time as the firecrackers sounded, Mrs. Song said: "Ah, whose family is doing a happy event? These firecrackers sound exciting!"

Everyone else was also listening with their ears pricked up, with curious expressions on their faces.

Widow Liu looked around and said, "I haven't heard of anyone marrying a daughter-in-law for any happy event today. Could it be that someone's old man is celebrating his birthday?"

"Maybe!" Mrs. Song said.

At this moment, Mu Zichuan entered the house like a gust of wind from outside.

Mrs. Song greeted Mu Zichuan: "Zichuan, who is having a happy event outside? Why are they setting off such loud firecrackers?"

Mu Zichuan had a gloomy face and walked straight to his west room, ignoring his grandma.

Mrs. Song was startled.

Widow Liu noticed something was wrong with him and quickly came over to stop him at the door of the west room.

"Zichuan, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"

Widow Liu asked.

Then he saw Mu Zichuan's empty hands: "I asked you to fetch water and wash vegetables. Where are the water and vegetables?"

Mu Zichuan was silent.

Widow Liu frowned and looked at him.

"What's wrong with you kid? Mom asked you, where did the water and vegetables go?" the woman asked again.

"No more, no more!"

Mu Zichuan put down these words, pushed Widow Liu aside, and plunged into the west room.

The door of the house was slammed from inside.

Widow Liu stood at the door, stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses.

At the table, Mrs. Song and the others could no longer sit still and gathered around.

"What's wrong with my grandson? Who made him unhappy?" Mrs. Song asked.

The two uncles also looked worried.

They helped raise half of this nephew.

Now that I have passed the exam and will be successful in the future, it is the glory of everyone.

"Sister, what's going on with my nephew? Did he have an argument with someone outside?" asked the uncle.

The uncle said: "How come? Don't say that our nephew has always been friendly with others."

"Now that he has been elected, everyone in the village is rushing to fawn over him. Who dares to go against him?"

The two aunts also echoed.

Mrs. Liu, however, looked suspicious.

Mo Ruomu, who knew her son, said to my mother and two brothers: "I will go outside to inquire."

Mrs. Liu hurried out of the house, and after a while, she came back, her face not looking good either.

"What did you find out?"

Song and others gathered around and asked.

Madam Liu said with a gloomy face, "Today is the day when that fat girl went to visit old Luo's house. Just now Cai Zichuan went to fetch water and wash vegetables, and happened to meet..."

Mrs. Liu told her mother's family what she had found out.

Everyone looked solemn.

The uncle said: "Zichuan finally passed the exam and won the appreciation of the high officials in the capital. This is a critical period. We must not let him be distracted by the affairs of these children!"

Mrs. Liu nodded: "I understand the truth, but this child doesn't know what's going on."

"I can take up all other things and let go of them, but as long as I get in touch with that fat girl, he will fight to the death!" said the woman.

Next to me, my aunt who had been silent all this time spoke.

"Zichuan has now reached the age where we can talk about marriage. Some things are worse than being blocked."

"Let me tell you, we might as well arrange a marriage for him."

"Let him have someone beside him who knows both coldness and warmth. As time goes by, as they rub their ears and temples together, they will gradually forget about that fat girl..."

The uncle said: "This is a good idea, but do you have a suitable girl?"

The eldest aunt smiled and said: "The eldest daughter of our family is pretty good. She is a childhood sweetheart with Zichuan. Our two families are getting closer..."

"Sister-in-law, I don't think it's appropriate."

My uncle interrupted directly.

"We'd better not worry about Zichuan's marriage. His wife might be a high-ranking official!" said the uncle.

My aunt was not happy when she heard this.

"Your family is full of sons but no daughters. Why are you jealous that my family has a daughter getting married?"

"how come?"

"Then what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that our Zichuan will become an official in the future, and his wife must be powerful in her family to help him!"

"Sister-in-law, besides giving Ji Zichuan some repairs every year, what else can you and my eldest brother give him?"

"Contacts? Resources? None of them work!" said my uncle.

"When Zanzichuan was published, a local squire from Changhuaizhou fell in love with Zanzichuan."

"I want to make Zichuan my son-in-law."

"Zan Zichuan refused immediately. It was this matter that made the high-ranking official from the capital see it, and that's why he appreciated Zan Zichuan."

"So we won't be able to make the final decision about our marriage in Zichuan from now on. We have to let the senior official make the decision."

When everyone heard this, they all thought it was reasonable.

No matter how unwilling my aunt was, she could only shut up and retreat to the side.

Here, the old lady Song said: "If it doesn't work out, just pack your bags in the next two days and send Zichuan to the capital to study as soon as possible!"

Mr. Liu nodded: "That's exactly what I mean. Leave this village, out of sight and out of mind!"

The uncle nodded: "Okay, then I will make arrangements when I go home."

…

The old Luo family.

The Luo family has no kin in the village.

In the whole village, this is the only one with the surname Luo.

It is said that Blacksmith Luo's father, Luo Fengtang's grandparents, fled famine from another county.

He gave birth to three brothers and sisters, Blacksmith Luo.

Luo Laoer died a long time ago, and Luo Daye married to Zhoujiacun.

Yang Ruoqing came by just now. Although there were no clan members, Luo Fengtang invited Baozi, Baozhu, and Yuzhu all over.

They are all young students, full of vitality inside and outside the courtyard.

Blacksmith Luo also has many good friends in the village.

In addition to contracting fish ponds, I partnered with several villagers.

At this moment, my nephew and daughter-in-law came over, and all these people came over to help.

There is another group of villagers, and another group of people who have a close relationship with Yang Ruoqing's family.

So everyone came to support me now.

As a result, the old Luo family, who has no relatives, is now full of people standing inside and outside the house, and even at the door of the courtyard.

Both men and women, old and young.

In the kitchen, all the women from the next door neighbors came to help.

As soon as the firecrackers went off, everyone gathered around Yang Ruoqing and entered the courtyard. It was very lively.

There were two full tables, and the dishes and portions on the table were all according to the standard of a wedding banquet.

Double bowls of meatballs, candied dates, glutinous rice balls, ribs, fish and shrimp, stewed meat, large pieces of chicken...

The guests had a great time eating.

Luo Fengtang followed Blacksmith Luo, holding a wine pot and cup, and took turns toasting between the two tables.
