Lu Mu glanced at Meng Li's smiling eyes, which seemed to be filled with stars, and those star points were twinkling.
"So what if it's what I thought."
"Some people seem to be honest, but they have a lot of tricks up their sleeves."
"Humph, it's not just for some people." After saying this, the man became a little silent.
He noticed that his tone and tone were different from before, and it seemed that he himself was almost unaware of the change.
Then the man didn't say anything, put the basket on the end of the bed, and lay down on the bed.
Meng Li was a little wary at first, until she heard long and even breathing next to her, and she knew that the man was asleep.
After she figured out how to deal with Zhang Laowu and Zhang Qiaoer, she closed her eyes.
In order to avoid touching the man and triggering unnecessary reactions from him, she slept with her back to the man.
A peaceful night together.
The next day, Lu Mu got up early.
He was rustling his coat beside the bed.
Meng Li also opened her eyes and looked at the man's slender fingers tying the belt.
Coupled with the slightly bulging chest and flat and firm abdomen.
There is an indescribable sex appeal.
Lying next to such an extremely handsome and gigantic man every day, Meng Li would sometimes react a little.
However, who told fate to let them lie on the same bed? There is no way around it.
Lu Mu looked over at her and saw that she seemed to be observing him.
"What are you looking at?"
"I thought I was looking at you. I was waiting for you to put on your clothes and tell you something."
Meng Li took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the man: "Look for some people too."
After giving a more detailed explanation, the man went out.
In the room, there was a basin of hot water brought in by the man.
Meng Li washed her face and went out. Outside, Meng Ning was making cabinets for the Qi family. He got up before dawn.
Meng Yao made breakfast and sat in front of the stall. Even though no one came to buy anything yet, she looked very serious, as if she had a sense of belief, like a little female boss.
Meng Li was exercising his hands and feet in the room. In fact, as long as he did not exercise strenuously, there would be no serious problem.
"Sister, let's go to Qi's house in the afternoon to marry your second brother. Prepare some gifts and bring them over when the time comes." Meng Wu said.
"okay."
Meng Li started to prepare now.
"If sister Xiaoying also likes the second brother, then we will hit it off."
At this time, a man carrying a hoe passed by the door of the second room of the Meng family and heard the conversation inside, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
The Meng family was going to ask the Qi family for marriage, and it was Qi Xiaoying who asked.
The man had planned to go to the fields, but returned home.
"Why are you back?"
Mrs. Feng, Mrs. Zhang, saw her eldest son and asked, "Has the grass in the field been hoeed so quickly?"
"Mom, I'm going to the town to call Chengcai back." Boss Zhang said.
"Chengcai didn't just go home two days ago. Why did you ask him to come back?"
"Mom, the second wife of the Meng family is going to ask Xiaoying of the Qi family to marry her. Chengcai is eighteen years old this year, which is just the age to get married. Don't you want to ask that Qi Xiaoying?"
"Asking for marriage, should I ask Meng Wu or Meng Ning?" Mrs. Zhang was a little unhappy after hearing this.
That Qi Xiaoying has a delicate appearance, a good temperament, a good body, and is very agile in her work. At this age, many families are making plans.
"It's Meng Ning. They went to ask in the afternoon. We have to hurry up."
"I'm going to call Chengcai and buy some gifts on the way. We'll go at noon, but we can't let them get there first."
Mrs. Zhang was a little worried: "The second room of the Meng family is going to build a big house now, and Meng Ning is a talented person, so he may not be able to win it."
"Mom, aren't you trying to embolden other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige? The talents in our family are scholars. In the future, when you are selected to be promoted to an official position, if you ask which girl comes from that family, you will be lucky. However, even if you can get it, It’s not like we can’t give in.”
"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Zhang stared.
Boss Zhang whispered something to Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang's cloudy eyes lit up and she glared at Boss Zhang: "You kid, you can still come up with this idea."
Boss Zhang chuckled, stretched out his hand and scratched his head: "Aren't I planning this for our Zhang family? Getting rich is the most important thing. Once you get rich, you can send talented people to the county town, and have better teachers teach you. Probably bigger.”
However, when Boss Zhang went to the county seat to call Zhang Youcai back, two things happened in the Zhang family.
One incident was that when Zhang Qiaoer came back from going to the toilet, he passed by the cesspit of his own pigsty and was pushed down.
Fortunately, he was pulled up by his family members in time, and his life was not in danger. However, his whole body was covered with pig manure, and he took a big mouthful of pig manure and vomited until he passed out.
One incident happened when Zhang Laowu came back from working in the fields. He was dragged into the forest and beaten after passing by a mountain trail. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he walked with a limp.
The Zhang family felt that someone was deliberately targeting them, and the whole family was in panic.
Zhang Youcai was depressed. He came back to ask for a bride, but he encountered such an unlucky thing.
However, Zhang Youcai came back rarely. Although today was not a good day, after lunch, Old Man Zhang and Boss Zhang took Zhang Youcai to Qi's house.
The gifts prepared by the Zhang family were neither good nor bad, but the cake they drew was very big.
"A talented person in my family was selected to be a scholar at a young age, and winning the imperial examination will only happen in the next few years. Many girls from other families are eyeing the talented person in my family, and they want to marry the talented person now so that they can become the wife of a scholar in the future. Not everyone has this kind of blessing, don’t you think so?”
Boss Zhang said with arrogance.
The Qi family had just had lunch, and almost everyone was there.
Zhang Youcai is a smart person, and he might actually win the imperial examination one day. Although the attitude of the Zhang family is pretentious, they do have the confidence.
"You should think about it carefully. If you are willing, we will hire a matchmaker." Old Man Zhang said.
Qi Xiaoying was stacking firewood in the yard. There was nothing visible on her face, but she was a little anxious in her heart.
She didn't want to marry Zhang Youcai, no matter if he won the imperial examination or the Jinshi in the future, if she didn't like it, she just didn't like it.
She hoped that her family would never agree, and she even wanted to rush into the lobby and say it, but how could she have the final say when her parents ordered a matchmaker?
Zhang Youcai was secretly looking at Qi Xiaoying. Qi Xiaoying had the appearance of a pretty girl, but her temperament had a hint of stubbornness, and she looked neat and tidy all over. He liked her.
Which girl wouldn't be interested in the position of Juren's wife in the future? He still looked down upon others, but he was sure that Qi Xiaoying would be eager to marry him.
When he becomes an official in the future, he will definitely marry an official lady. Qi Xiaoying can be a side wife.
"Of course our family has to think carefully about this. After all, when a daughter gets married, fame and wealth come second. The most important thing is that she can feel at ease and live a smooth life." Qi Xiaoying's father Qi Laosan said.
"Okay, then we will go back first. If you have decided, go tell our Zhang family so that we can find a matchmaker and pay the betrothal gift." Boss Zhang said.
"Uncle Qi, don't worry. My husband said that I am the most promising among this group of students to win the exam. Next year will be the Qiuwei exam. When I win, Xiaoying will live a good life." Zhang Youcai ensure.
The Qi family felt good about his sincere attitude. Although Zhang Youcai looked average, his talent was the most important thing.
The Zhang family went back.
When leaving the yard, Zhang Youcai winked at Qi Xiaoying, but Qi Xiaoying pretended not to notice.
After a while, she hesitantly walked into the main room: "Grandpa, Dad, I have something to say."
