Master Sun Boyuan is the only scholar in Dongqi Town.
He was also a strange person in his early years.
He has been very good at reading since he was a child. He took the scientific examination at the age of 19 and won the first place in the three rounds of county, prefectural and township examinations, and became famous for a while.
But since then, it has failed repeatedly.
Sun Boyuan also had an extremely stubborn temperament. He took exams for several years and failed repeatedly.
Until he was 31 years old, his wife gave birth to a daughter for him.
In order to improve the family situation that could not make ends meet, he gave up the scientific examination and began to give lectures at White Deer Academy.
Therefore, the daughter can be regarded as the lifeblood of Sun Boyuan.
It is said that in order to find a good husband for his daughter this time, he looked at all the men of suitable age in several surrounding towns, and finally selected the man from the Wu family of the town squire in Jiulong Town, which is more than 200 miles away from Dongqi Town. son.
Because it is far away from the husband's family, the wedding team has to set off early in the morning.
So the table at the Sun family was set up very early.
Before dawn, Su Junsheng arrived at Sun's house with little Yuanbao, who was yawning profusely.
She was dressed very festively and had two small balls on her head, which were cute and tight.
"Congratulations, sir, on marrying your daughter today."
Yuan Bao sat in Su Junsheng's arms, his eyes had not yet opened, but he spoke auspicious words fluently.
The little one attended the academy for a period of time, and his smart little appearance is really endearing.
In addition, the platform in Fuhai Tower where he boasted about the little fairy girl was removed, and Sun Boyuan no longer had any prejudice against this little fairy.
Today, when I saw two brothers and sisters coming to congratulate me, I smiled and touched Yuan Bao's little head.
Su Junsheng asked his servants to deliver the gifts he had brought.
It is a dressing mirror made of brass, with patterns of mandarin ducks playing in the water carved on it. The shape is very unique and exquisite.
"Brother Shan, why didn't you tell Yuan Bao when you were preparing a gift?"
The little one is now completely energetic.
How is this possible! She is also a student of Master Sun!
Sun Boyuan couldn't help laughing when he heard what this little bean bag said.
What he wants to say is that you are still a baby and don't need to adhere to the etiquette of these adults.
But before he could say anything, Yuan Bao took out a palm-sized wooden comb from nowhere and stuffed it into his hand.
Compared to the brass mirror her brother gave her, this comb looked much simpler.
There are no carvings or lettering, and the teeth of the comb are crooked. It looks more like a child carving casually for fun.
"Think of this as my wedding gift to my sister~" the little one smiled with crooked eyes.
Sun Boyuan couldn't bear to hurt the little kid's kindness, so he took the comb, held it in his hand seriously and said, "Then I'll thank Yuan Bao for Feng'er's kindness."

No matter how good a husband you find, you cannot be happy when you send your daughter off to get married since ancient times.
Crying symbolizes nostalgia for one’s parents’ family and confusion about future life.
After Sun Fengyun had a good cry in the wedding sedan carried by four people, several cousins opened the way and led the wedding sedan out of the city gate.
Long before the wedding sedan went out, four people sent the dowry box to the Wu family in Kowloon Town.
Although it was not as rich as the dowries of other high-ranking women, Sun Fengyun knew that this was all the dignity her family could afford.
Dad lectures at White Deer Academy and doesn't actually make much money.
But in order to prevent their only daughter from being laughed at by her husband's family, Sun Boyuan and his old wife gave away almost all the valuable things they could get out of the family as a dowry.
Coupled with some gifts from my students, this dowry is not so shabby.
When she thought about not being able to see her parents all the time in the future, Sun Fengyun couldn't help crying silently again after leaving the city gate.
She slightly lifted her hijab, wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief, and when she put her hand down, she suddenly touched a small wooden comb.
It's as big as the palm of your hand and is very rough, but the wood material seems to be good to the touch, and you can smell a faint sandalwood fragrance when you get close.
I heard from my father that this was a congratulatory gift from a young student in his school.
It was both a congratulatory gift and a sincere thought. Sun Fengyun had a good tutor and was not someone who flattered others but put them down, so she carefully put the comb into her cuffs.
Not long after leaving the city, the sky slowly became brighter.
Afraid that his daughter would be hungry on the way, Sun Boyuan also packed a small box of snacks on the sedan in advance.
Opening the snack box, in addition to a few exquisite snacks, there was also a folded letter.
Sun Fengyun was stunned for a moment, then opened the letter.
The words "Daddy" and "Daddy" were written in square fonts, telling her to eat some snacks, but don't get lipstick, otherwise she will be laughed at by her husband's family when she gets to Kowloon Town.
Sun Fengyun couldn't help but pursed her lips when she thought of her old-fashioned father's appearance when he wrote this line of words.
She refolded the letter and put it together with the comb, and then followed her father's instructions and ate snacks.
…
There is a distance of more than 230 miles from Dongqi Town to Jiulong Town, and the journey takes about ten and fourteen hours.
The bearers will stop twice to rest, and they will arrive at Kowloon Town at about 10:00 the next day.
The bearers were all from Dongqi Town, and some of them were familiar with Sun Fengyun.
During the break, a sedan bearer opened the sedan curtain and handed over a water bag: "Feng Yun, have a drink of water."
This man's name was Lu Wei, who had been a neighbor of Sun Fengyun's family in the past, and was about the same age as her.
"I don't dare to call the bride that, hahaha."
Several bearers around followed him and started making noises.
They are all from Dongqi Town. Everyone knows that the Sun family and the Lu family had the idea of proposing marriage for their children in the past.
However, the Lu family was just an ordinary carpenter, and their family situation was average. Sun Boyuan did not want his daughter to marry and suffer hardship, so he did not continue.
At this moment, one is inside the sedan and the other is outside, which is a bit awkward after all.
Lu Wei quickly handed the water bag to Sun Fengyun's hand, ran away in a hurry, and got into the middle of a group of bearers.
Several men gathered together, eating the dry food they had brought and chatting casually.
A bearer said: "Have you heard that Wu Xiangshen's family has a lot of rules? I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for our little bride to get married."
Lu Wei usually didn't like to talk much, so he didn't interrupt, but his ears perked up when he heard the words.
Another sedan bearer said: "Isn't that right? Anyone who comes to us to carry the sedan chair must look at the horoscope to calculate the time. I don't know how many rules are waiting for us at home!"
Does the bearer also need to read the horoscope to calculate the time?
Lu Wei looked stunned.
"What? You don't know?" Seeing his confused look, the bearer next to him asked: "We all have the same horoscopes, are you different from us?"
Lu Wei shook his head in confusion.
He was temporarily called in by Mr. Sun early this morning for help.
I heard that the bearer whom we had agreed to carry suddenly fell seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed, so we called him in temporarily to help.
He is physically strong and the Sun family promised him a large reward, so he came to help.
As for the horoscope...
Sun Xiucai never asked him...
"Can you tell me your horoscopes?"
He frowned, feeling that this matter was not that simple.
I have heard of people asking the bride her horoscope when getting married.
This is the first time I heard that when getting married, I even asked the bearer his horoscope.
"Okay." Several bearers tucked the sedan chair away without hiding it, and each of them told him everyone's horoscopes in one sentence.
"This is all requested by the Wu family. It is said that we, the bearers of the eight-character bearers, can bear the bride's blessing."
Several people laughed as if it was a joke, but Lu Wei's face froze after hearing this horoscope.
No, these three people are all in the same horoscope.
Four trees are born, and the bride's descendant Fengyun is also a native of the earth.
Five people and five soil.
What on earth does the Wu family want to do? ?
