The bride has a cheerful personality and is very beautiful. All the aunts I have met say that this wife is a good wife.

Chu's mother and Shen Xiuniang also went inside to take a look. After watching the bride come out, Chu's mother kept looking at Chu Ci with a strange look, thinking that Chu Ci was a monk named Zhang Er - she couldn't figure it out.

"Mom, what's wrong? Why do you always look at me like this?" Chu Ci couldn't stand it, so he asked directly.

"Xiaoer... Ah Ci, have you ever thought about getting married first and then establishing a career?" Chu's mother cautiously opened her mouth to test.

Ever since his mother called him A Ci, Chu Ci felt that something was wrong. As expected, this opening was a big deal.

"Mom, didn't we agree? Shouldn't we wait until I pass the exam at the earliest before mentioning this matter?" Chu Ci remembered that when the original owner was sixteen, a matchmaker came to propose marriage. At that time, the original owner was ashamed and angry. He said directly in front of the matchmaker that he would have to wait until he passed the exam to discuss his children's affair.

The matchmaker was disgraced by him and felt uncomfortable all the time. Seeing that he failed the ranking this year, when he went out to talk to matchmakers, he would always bring something out of his words. Fortunately, Chu Ci was famous far and wide. Even if he failed this time, he would not People don't think highly of him.

As the saying goes, a fifty-year-old scholar is a Jinshi. Chu Ci is only nineteen years old. He has a lot to do in the future. No one should gossip about him except the Chu family.

"But... you were young at that time, and now you are older. Aren't you really jealous when you see other people marrying their wives?" Mother Chu said the last sentence in a low voice. After she finished speaking, she felt that her face was turning red. Already.

Chu Ci didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, what are you talking about? I have always been obsessed with studies, how can I have the heart to think about so many things."

This is a good saying. Both the original owner and Chu Ci himself seem to be a bit aloof. The original owner can also be said to have never seen many women, but Chu Ci is different. The beauties he has seen are like crucian carp crossing the river. , too many to count. But not only did Chu Ci not fish for it, he almost made himself a friend of women, which is a bit strange.

Chu Ci didn't pay attention to all the speculations from the outside world. He felt that he didn't fall in love just because the fate hadn't arrived yet. When fate arrived, he and his partner would be like two pieces of double-sided tape that couldn't be peeled apart. .

Chu's mother looked a little regretful and a little relaxed. Unfortunately, she couldn't see Chu Ci getting married and having children now. She was relaxed because her family's current conditions were so bad. If she wanted to marry a good girl, she was afraid that others would look down on them. Home.

The two sat together and talked, and then the banquet started.

Because the tables were limited, the first wave of people over there were allowed to eat. Chu Ci, as the only scholar in the village and the one who wrote the gift book this time, was also lucky enough to sit in the first wave of banquets, and his seat was next to theirs. Below the village chief. This shows how high the status of a cultural person is.

Chu Ci was born in such a family. He was taken to this scientific research conference and that seminar since he was a child. There were so many talents there, and of course there were many who knew the art of speaking. Chu Ci already had high emotional intelligence, and he was influenced by them in this way. , don’t talk about Duolisuo.

No matter who talked to him at the wine table, he would sit back happily, feeling in his heart that this scholar Chu was indeed a scholar. Look at his character, look at his appearance, listen to his conversation, and be on the same page as him All the seniors were driven to the ground.

Chu Ci was not prepared to keep a low profile. After all, he was already a target, so he might as well raise it higher so that they could only look up at him, and then they would lose the desire to compare with him.

He suspected that the original owner had taken advantage of someone else last time. The original owner of the candidate named Wan was not familiar with him at first, but just a few days before the provincial examination, the person treated the original owner very attentively and took the original owner as his priority in everything.

The original owner had a simple personality, and after being coaxed by him for a few words, he became friends with him, and even taught him some of his own experiences and answering skills. Unfortunately, the person had no intention of learning at all, and only paid attention to these things, and only wanted to encourage the original owner to go out and play.

Although the original owner was simple, he still had clear priorities, so he declined his request. I didn't expect that person would do such a thing as cheating, and bring the original owner down with him.

After the original owner came out, he only felt sorry for himself. He never thought that this might not be bad luck, but someone deliberately trying to frame him.

Chu Ci didn't know who it was, but that didn't stop him from being vigilant. A fox would always show its tail, and he was waiting for the day when he would pull it.

The banquet was lively all day, and at dusk, Aunt He happily gave Chu Ci a red envelope to thank him for his help today.

Chu Ci took it with a smile, and said a few good words such as "a happy marriage for a hundred years", which made Aunt He smile. Although others had said this, how could a scholar have the luck to say it openly?

After the banquet, there were several autumn rains, and the weather became much colder day by day. Chu Ci put on his jacket early to feel the magical attack of the cold weather in the south.

He began to miss his kang, his heater, and the time when he could sit shirtless in the house and eat popsicles in the winter.

The cold in the south is damp and cold, a cold that goes deep into the bones. This kind of cold is something you can't resist no matter how many layers of clothes you wear.

Chu Ci often slept until midnight and suddenly woke up from the cold, curling up his feet into a ball and wanting to stuff them under his stomach.

If it wasn't too early to light the brazier, Chu Ci would have wanted to light the brazier and go to sleep.

Chu's mother was very worried when she saw that he had black eyes and low energy recently.

"Xiao Er, have you stayed up late studying again recently? You get sick every year at this time, so why don't you know how to take care of your body?"

Chu Ci was helpless. He suspected that the original owner might also be cold. "Mom, I'm not sick. I'm in good health. It's just that it seems a little cold at night."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Chu's mother complained, and then she brought a quilt from her room and spread it on Chu Ci's bed. "You, a big boy, cry out all day long because you have weak blood. When the weather gets better,

Mom, go buy a chicken and add some red dates and longan to give you a good tonic. When you feel better, you won’t feel cold anymore..."

Chu's mother kept mumbling while tidying up. Chu Ci didn't feel annoyed at all, but felt very at ease in her heart. Having someone who is willing to nag non-stop for you is also a blessing, isn't it?

That night, under the double protection of mother's love and warm quilt, Chu Ci finally had a rare good sleep.

His body feels better, and his mood naturally improves. Especially today is a sunny day, which makes people even happier.

Chu Xiaoyuan went out to play with his friends early in the morning. Chu Ci got rid of his little tail and decided to go to town today to settle last month's accounts with shopkeeper Lu.

Lu Feng was leaning next to the counter reading a script. When he heard the waiter's voice greeting people, he looked up and saw that it was Chu Ci. He immediately became happy.

"Chu Xiucai, you are finally here. I thought you had forgotten our business." Lu Feng pretended to complain. In fact, he has made a lot of money these days.

"There has been a lot going on at home these past few days, so why am I here? Looking at the happy face of the shopkeeper, something good must have happened. I wonder if what Xiaosheng said is right?"

"Yes, of course. Those story books have been sold very well this month. Almost all the books I bought have been sold, and I will go to the county town in two days to buy another batch."

"There are so many readers in our town?" Chu Ci thought no matter how much he thought about it, his purchasing power should be almost saturated.

"How can we be the only one in our town? There are people from several towns next door coming to buy." Speaking of this matter, Lu Feng was very proud. In the past, there were not as many scholars in their town as in the town next door, so the business of that bookstore was always poor.

It's the one that puts pressure on the Lu family.

Every time he went to the county town to purchase goods and met that old bastard, he would sigh with emotion about how easy it was to sell books and how popular things were. He also said that he was so tired from business that he could not stand up straight. He really envied Lu Feng for being so leisurely, which made Lu Feng angry.

My heart, liver, and lungs hurt together.

"Don't their bookstores sell this book?" Logically speaking, they shouldn't be so unbusiness-minded.

"They are also selling, but they are missing your illustrations!" Lu Feng thought it was strange at first, but then he realized after thinking about it, isn't the difference between their books and the books in the bookstore in the next town just in the illustrations?
