Jin Yan didn't know everything that happened in the Wen family.
As soon as they entered Hejia Village, where their grandmother's house was located, they met He Shuzhou, the youngest scholar in Hejia Village.
Before "Wen Ziran" appeared, He Shuzhou had expressed his love for Jin Yan, and the He family had also invited a matchmaker to go to their grandmother's house, hoping to find out about Mei Huiniang and Wen Lan's thoughts through their grandparents.
It was only the matchmaker who came to the door, and she was politely invited out by my grandmother.
Since Jin Yan was young, neither the old couple nor Wen Lan had any intention of marrying her off early.
Secondly, the He family is not suitable for Jin Yan.
He's mother has a very strong personality. She is in charge of both the inside and outside of He's family. It was she who overcame all difficulties and tried her best to help He Shuzhou become a scholar.
And He Shuzhou was a filial son, knowing He's mother's difficulties, and he obeyed her orders and never disobeyed.
He Shuzhou is now only eighteen years old and has already passed the scholar examination. He will have unlimited possibilities in the future. For most women, this is already the best destination.
But my grandparents still rejected the matchmaker.
I didn’t even think about asking my daughter and son-in-law for their opinion.
Because it's not necessary.
A family like the He family with a strong mother-in-law and a son who was too filial and obedient, and who was destined to be suppressed and wronged if he married a daughter-in-law, would not be able to attract the attention of Wen Lan and his wife.
Although he was rejected, He Shuzhou did not give up. Ever since he met Jin Yan, he could not forget it and wanted to marry Jin Yan in high school.
Mother He couldn't bear her son to be trapped by love, so in order not to delay his studies, she secretly found an opportunity to test Mei Huiniang's thoughts.
Mei Huiniang directly said that her daughter was reluctant to let her daughter get married when she was still young, and she wanted to keep her daughter forever. Mother He knew what she meant as soon as she heard this.
She thought that her son was very good, not to mention marrying a sick young man who couldn't carry his shoulders or lift his hands, even if he was married to a princess, it would be no worse.
As a result, this sick man was picky about her son and looked down upon her son.
This can poke a hole in He's mother's lungs.
Then she changed her dignified and friendly attitude when she came to ask for her son's hand in marriage, and changed her story to say that an old widower in the village took a fancy to Jin Yan's appearance and wanted Jin Yan to be his second wife. She was actually entrusted by someone to propose the marriage, so she directly When Mei Huiniang was angered, Mei Huiniang slapped her face and ears several times on the spot.
As the saying goes, business cannot be done without benevolence and righteousness.
If He's mother could fall out and fabricate lies on the spot because of the failure to propose marriage, there's no guarantee that she won't do other dirty things behind the scenes.
In order to avoid future troubles, Mei Huiniang told her grandparents and Wen Jinyang what happened after she returned.
When my grandparents found out, they went to He's house with a butcher's knife.
Wen Jinyang also ran into He Shuzhou on the way to the academy, and He Shuzhou saw how powerful he could be in breaking large rocks with his bare hands.
He warned He Shuzhou that if any rumors spread that harmed his sister's reputation, "Dashi" would be He Shuzhou's fate.
He Shuzhou was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot.
From then on, He's mother refused to get involved in anything related to Jin Yan, and she hid as far away as she could.
And He Shuzhou took a detour when he met Wen Jinyang.
But Jin Yan, the person involved, was well protected by her family, so much so that she didn't even know about the marriage proposal from the He family.
This encounter was truly an accident within an accident.
Jin Yan and the others were sitting in the carriage and didn't see anyone outside at all. It was He Shuzhou who saw Wen Lan and was so frightened by Wen Lan's impressive aura that he stepped on the air and fell into the ditch.
His cry of pain caught the attention of Jin Yan and Wen Jinyang, and they discovered him.
Several eyes met, and the image of Wen Jinyang breaking rocks with his bare hands and the rumors of Wen Lan killing people rang in He Shuzhou's mind at the same time.
He only felt a tightening in his lower abdomen, and then his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly pulled his robe to cover his groin.
Wen Jinyang covered Jin Yan's eyes, and then lowered the car curtain.
Wen Lan only glanced at He Shuzhou and then looked away.
He doesn't pay attention to such a timid person, and he can't be his opponent.
The horse-drawn carriage drove by the roadside and kicked up a cloud of dust.
After the sound of the ruts faded away, He Shuzhou slowly climbed out of the ditch, enduring the pain.
He lowered his head and looked down, and there was indeed an obvious water stain on his robe.
Thinking of the identical contemptuous looks in the Wen family's father and son's eyes when the carriage left, an indescribable shame crept into He Shuzhou's heart.
At the same time, Jin Yan's startling glance at the moment the car curtain was lifted was something he would never forget.
On the other side, Wen Lan took Mei Huiniang back home first, while Jin Yan and his brother went to his grandfather's meat stall.
Far away, I heard a strong voice arguing with someone.
It turned out that someone questioned my grandfather’s accuracy, saying that he was short of weight, so he wanted to get the piece of meat for free. Grandpa said that he would weigh himself in public to prove his innocence, but the person was unwilling.
Jin Yan patted Wen Jinyang on the shoulder, "Brother, it's time for you to show off, remember to convince others with your virtue!"
Wen Jinyang said "hmm" and then went up to argue with people using the law.
Jin Yan: "..."
Did she forget to put the double quotation marks around the words "conquer people with virtue"? Otherwise, how could my brother interpret her "physical salvation" as verbal inspiration?
But the truth "knowledge is power" is valid at all times.
The gangster who could not be deterred by his grandfather's butcher's knife was actually frightened by his brother's few words.
In the blink of an eye, the man put down the pork and ran away.
Ran!
.
As soon as the man left, my grandfather immediately sold the remaining meat at a cheap price to the neighbors who spoke for him, and then happily led his grandson back home.
"Old lady, look who's here..."
Grandpa shouted happily. As soon as he entered the door and saw his daughter and son-in-law coming, he was even more overjoyed.
He said hello and was about to kill the chicken and stew the goose. Mei Huiniang hurriedly stopped him and said, "Dad, we ate here this morning. The children are not hungry. Brother Lan bought you good wine. You sit down and let him accompany you." You have a couple of drinks and I’ll cook for you later.”
"That's right, why would you do anything in front of my good grandson?" Grandma said angrily.
Grandpa put down the knife with a smile.
He didn't have any other preferences. He just liked to drink a few sips. Wen Lan brought him good wine. As soon as the old man tasted it, he knew how different it was from what he usually drank, and he couldn't bear to put down the wine glass.
After a while, Jin Yan, who was talking to his grandmother, reminded him, "Grandpa, you've already drunk half a catty. You can't drink any more."
Grandpa coughed and said reluctantly: "Is there any? I just had a few drinks."
"Yes, I count every drink you drink!" Jin Yan said.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it from his granddaughter, the grandfather smiled and said it was the last drink.
Wen Lan suppressed a smile and said, "Father-in-law, I respect you."
He just raised the cup, and Jin Yan's voice came to his ears again, "Grandpa, don't drink too much, and daddy, don't drink too much."
Wen Lan: "..."
It’s just that my father-in-law is old.
Even in his prime of life, he doesn’t have the freedom to drink?
