After he arrived in the field, he did not need to work. He only needed to stand next to Li Dazhong and chat with him.
Although there was a big identity gap between him and Li Dazhong, and Li Dazhong was illiterate, they had quite a lot to talk about.
When he was young, his father taught him how to take care of his family's property, and repeatedly told him to keep the property in his own hands. Only the property would not betray him. He heard this often, and he became obsessed with it. Seriously, he has been studying seriously with his father since he was a child.
So he knows a lot about crops. He knows everything about how to grow each type of crop and what the yield per acre is.
Li Dazhong is a good farmer and knows a lot about these things, so he and Li Dazhong have a common topic.
Li Dazhong was illiterate, but he didn't dislike it at all. His father was a scholar and he failed his father.
His deceased husband was a scholar, which made him feel all kinds of grievances.
Moreover, I have watched a lot of scholars from the county school since I was a child. For this group, I am not the best, but there are indeed many scum.
So, what’s wrong with not being able to read?
When he wanted to discuss poetry and poetry, he could find other people, not necessarily Li Dazhong.
Moreover, Li Dazhong didn't care about his money. He gave Li Dazhong money, but Li Dazhong didn't want it, saying that he earned enough and had nothing to spend money on.
He bought Li Dazhong delicious food and good clothes, and Li Dazhong accepted them happily and would not accuse him of spending money carelessly.
Moreover, Li Dazhong also made him feel the joy of being a husband when he was in bed. After getting married to Li Dazhong, he realized that there was such happiness in the world.
But after getting out of bed, Li Dazhong returned to the awkwardness he had when they first met him. Although he pulled him along to do everything, he rarely dared to look at him.
This contrast made him unable to help teasing him from time to time.
Therefore, he had been extremely comfortable in the past few months since he got married to Li Dazhong, and he had no regrets at all.
He didn't know whether Li Dazhong loved him or not. She probably doesn't love him, Li Dazhong treats him more out of a responsible attitude.
But what does it matter.
Anyway, he is indeed very happy now.
As for the two children, everything in life can never go as they wish. As long as the sweetness can outweigh the troubles, then it is a good life.
Tao Zhu felt relieved when he saw Bai You's sweet smile when he mentioned Li Dazhong. He and Bai You talked a few more words, and when he saw Li Qiao standing next to the construction site waving to him, he planned to go back.
However, thinking of Baiyou's identity, he couldn't help but said: "Li Qiao and I want to find a scholar for Chuntao. You know many people, so pay attention to see if there is anyone suitable."
"Master Xiu Cai?"
Bai You was a little surprised. After hearing Tao Zhu's explanation, he couldn't help but laugh: "Then we must find a scholar for Chuntao. The Zhou family will be angry to death."
"Speaking of which, I really have a suitable candidate here."
That was the scholar who helped him quietly spread rumors in the academy.
His family background is not good, but he is a good person, otherwise he would not leave it to him to spread rumors.
However, although he and Li Dazhong are living happily now, Li Dazhong cannot yet know about spreading rumors.
So he said to Tao Zhu, "Wait a minute. I will go to the county town tomorrow to ask him. The man's surname is Zhang. He is twenty-three years old. He looks decent. I think he is a good match for Chuntao."
Tao Zhu didn't expect Baiyou to find Baiyou so quickly. The speed was much faster than Zhuang Wen. He said a few more words to Baiyou before going back to find Li Qiao.
He had to let Li Qiao palm his eyes first. Well, in two days he and Li Qiao would go to the county town to find Zhuang Wen.

The author has something to say:
These people and things need to be explained in a transitional manner~
Chapter 84 Li Qiao only accounts for half, Li Chuntao and Tao Zhu do duck business
The scholar Baiyou mentioned was named Zhang Tiansheng. His family was in the next town. The Zhang family were very simple and they worked together to support him in his studies.
But his parents have poor health and need to take medicine all year round. They have two medicine jars and a scholar, so the conditions of the Zhang family are not good.
In order to support his family, Zhang Tiansheng diverted a lot of his energy, either copying books or tutoring other people who were not admitted to the scholar examination. As a result, he neglected his own studies and failed to pass the last provincial examination.
However, Baiyou felt that Zhang Tian could survive.
Zhang Tiansheng first has a conscience and knows how to be grateful.
As the saying goes, reading is the only good thing among all inferiors. This means that reading is "high". However, after many scholars read, they feel that they have also become high. Although they have not achieved any results in reading, they are already floating. , having a high opinion of oneself.
Not to mention looking down on the neighbors and villagers, he even looks down on his family members. He bosses around his own family members and treats them as servants.
Baiyou has seen not one thousand but eight hundred of this kind of people since she was a child.
But Zhang Tiansheng did not have such bad habits. He kept in mind his family's contribution to him. After he was admitted as a scholar, he tried his best to earn money to support his family. He was filial to his parents and respected his elder brothers.
This alone is enough to prove that his character is not bad.
In addition to having a high self-esteem, a common problem among scholars is that they are pedantic, but Zhang Tiansheng is not pedantic. Looking at Zhang Tiansheng's flexible ways of making money, you can tell that he is not a rigid person and knows how to be flexible.
Moreover, whether he is copying books for a bookstore or providing private tutoring to others, his reputation is very good, which shows that this person is responsible and has good ability to do things.
When Baiyou came to him and asked him to spread rumors, he was shocked and couldn't help but persuade Baiyou to think twice. Once he took this step, there would be no turning back.
This detail shows that although he wants to make money, he has his own bottom line and will not do anything for money.
Of course, the above are Baiyou's impressions of this person, and these impressions are all superficial. Now that he wants to introduce him to Li Chuntao, Baiyou naturally wants to know more about this person.
So Baiyou got on the carriage and returned to the county town, and he took Li Dazhong with him.
Li Dazhong would invite him to do anything with him, and he would naturally do everything with Li Dazhong.
When they arrived at the county town, Baiyou asked his servant to go to the academy and called Zhang Tiansheng to a teahouse near the academy. After meeting Zhang Tiansheng, Baiyou went straight to the point and said directly that he had a good marriage plan that he wanted to tell Zhang Tiansheng. Now let's hear what Zhang Tiansheng said. Opinion.
Zhang Tiansheng was shocked by Baiyou's words. Baiyou actually wanted to play matchmaker for him?
After coming to his senses, he immediately shook his head.
In his family's situation, marrying another girl would be like letting her jump into a pit of fire. He didn't want to harm a girl from a good family, so he could only thank Baiyou for his kindness.
Being rejected was something Baiyou expected. He smiled and asked Zhang Tiansheng what kind of girl or husband he was looking for and if there were any conditions.
After hearing this, Zhang Tiansheng looked at him suspiciously, then looked at Li Dazhong beside him, and a bold idea came to his mind.
But it felt impossible.
With his family's situation like this, how could a girl or a boy from the Li family fall in love with him.
He answered honestly: "Mr. Bai, my request is a bit shameless, so I am not married yet at this age. My future wife or husband must first be diligent."
"Because I am very diligent, I hope that the other party will be diligent as well. With my family's situation, we really cannot afford to support a young lady or a young master."
"As for filial piety, I don't have to force it at all. After all, my father, mother, brother and sister-in-law have never raised each other. As long as we can maintain a superficial peace on weekdays."
"The other thing is that we can talk."
After all, he is a scholar and has spiritual pursuits. He does not want his partner to be illiterate.
"How can we talk about it? We have to talk about it before we can be sure."
"You also need to have good eye compatibility. After all, we have to be together every day and face each other for a lifetime. If it doesn't match my eye compatibility, then it will be so uncomfortable for me to look at it every day."
"If I feel uncomfortable every day after getting married, then I would rather not get married."
At this point, he felt a little embarrassed, raised his hand and touched his nose, and then said: "Although I am nothing, this does not prevent me from making requests."
"I don't take the initiative to harm others, but if others want to marry me, it's better for me to make it clear in advance to avoid being aggrieved in the future."
Baiyou: "..."
He laughed out loud.
Li Dazhong couldn't help but look at him. Seeing his bright and radiant eyes, his heart couldn't help but move.
"It's a bit shameless, but it's also magnanimous. You really shouldn't feel aggrieved about the big events in your life. You live your life very clearly."
Baiyou opened her mouth with a smile.
Zhang Tiansheng scratched his head when he heard this and smiled shyly, looking honest and harmless.
Baiyou felt confident and asked Zhang Tiansheng to leave without saying anything more.
After Zhang Tiansheng left the private room, he asked Li Dazhong for his opinion.
"What do you think?"
"Not bad, he can recognize himself clearly." Li Dazhong nodded.
Not annoying anyway.
But, well, the husband next to him smiled so beautifully just now that he couldn't take his eyes away.
Baiyou didn't notice Li Dazhong's little thoughts. He and Li Dazhong returned to Sanliu Village and told Tao Zhu what Zhang Tiansheng said today.
Tao Zhu also felt that this man was quite honest, so he and Li Qiao went to find Zhuang Wen, hoping to find out about Zhang Tiansheng from Zhuang Wen.
Zhuang Wen had an impression of Zhang Tiansheng, but Zhang Tiansheng's family background was not good, so he had not considered Zhang Tiansheng before.
A girl as good as Li Chuntao can choose someone better than Zhang Tiansheng.
As for what's better than Zhang Tiansheng, he hasn't discovered it yet.
But Li Chuntao has been waiting for so many years, so he doesn't care about just one or two days, right?
After listening to Zhuang Wen's explanation, Li Qiao nodded. That's the truth.
But what is Zhang Tiansheng like?
Zhuang Wen thought about it carefully and found that the answer was similar to Bai You's. Apart from his poor family background and his old age, Zhang Tiansheng had no shortcomings.
After receiving this answer, Li Qiao Taozhu returned home and told Li Chuntao about Zhang Tiansheng's situation.
Li Chuntao didn't expect that Li Qiao and Taozhu would find a scholar so quickly. After hearing Zhang Tiansheng's request, she wasn't angry, but just wanted to laugh.
"It's good to dare to admit that you are shameless."
"Then let's go to the county seat and meet him quietly?" Tao Zhu asked.
"Okay." Li Chuntao didn't hesitate and nodded generously.
Anyway, it was just a meeting, not really getting married.
