Two big things happened in Yong'an Village!
The first was that there was a new scholar in the village, and everyone was celebrating. The second was that the old girl in the village, Yun Xiuqing, was finally engaged!
"Hey, have you heard? Daddy Yun said that he would prepare the make-up for you!"
"What! There are so many of them!" Mrs. Wang, who was washing clothes, suddenly widened her eyes and looked at the person who had spoken just now. "I don't believe it!"
"It's true. I've heard what Xiuqing's mother said!" The man did not stop his work. He said with envy and jealousy, "The Yun Family is the richest family in our village, and we only have one daughter. It's not as painful as your life. I don't know who is so lucky to get those dowry!"
"I don't care!" Mrs. Wang snorted and began to wash again. "Yunxiu is ugly and fat. I won't marry her even if you give me ten miles of gold and silver!"
"Hahaha, you're telling the truth!" The two men looked at each other and laughed.
The reeds by the river swayed along with their laughter. A few ducks flapped their wings quickly, jumped into the water against the wind, and swam to the east leisurely.
On the early autumn day, it was already cold. Yun Xiuqing wrapped her clothes with golden threads and secretly regretted that she didn't wear more clothes decorated with silver mouse fur.
"The river in front of me is as clear as the bottom, as clear as the water in my spiritual spring!" Yun Xiuqing thought to himself, "However, the river is too cold. It's not like her spiritual spring that is steaming all year round. It's like a hot spring."
Yun Xiuqing came here a month ago. The original owner jumped into the river because he couldn't get married.
It was from that time that Yun Xiuqing time-traveled here, and she had her own space.
"Do you really want to marry me?" Yun Xiuxiu, who had stopped thinking, kept rubbing her hands, looked up at the man in front of her and asked.
Lyu Qichang was stunned and then nodded, "Well, didn't my mother send all the betrothal gifts?"
It was only then that she remembered the piece of silver that was not as big as her little finger. When she thought of how Old Maid Lyu saw her family's influence, she pursed her lips and said, "Don't you think I'm ugly and fat?"
Lyu Qichang looked at Yun Xiuqing's fat face, which was full of goosebumps and pockmarks, and his heart couldn't help trembling. He quickly turned his eyes to the tassels pendant hanging down beside her ear.
The pendant was covered with silver pearls, which looked beautiful with Yun Xiuqing's movements. Lyu Qichang swallowed and said, "Of course... Of course, I don't mind!"
Lyu Qichang thought to himself, "If I get these gold and silver, I won't have to worry about finding a good-looking girl."
Looking at Lyu Qichang's greedy look, Yun Xiuqing sneered and said, "I can marry him, but you have to swear in front of the villagers that you will never marry another woman in your life..."
Before she could finish her words, Lyu Qichang, who was in front of her, jumped. "That's impossible! You are obviously forcing me. It's common sense that men have three wives and four concubines since ancient times. How can a woman like you be so hypocritical?"
Yun Xiuxiu raised her eyebrows and said, "But your mother said that as long as I marry into the family, everything will be up to me. If you say that I reverse moral principles, then what's the point of going against your parents' lives?"
"You..." Lyu Qichang was so angry that he rolled his eyes. "You are such a cunning and mean woman. I am a scholar, but many girls in the village want to marry a good man. But you dare to shout at me before you even enter the house?"
"Oh?" Yun Xiuxiu pretended to be distressed and said, "According to what you said, am I wrong?"
Hearing this, Lyu Qichang's face turned blue and white. He snorted angrily, "Nonsense!"
"Then what should I do?" Yun Qingyi looked at him in amusement.
Lyu Qichang did not understand the sarcasm in Yun Xiuqing's words. He just said seriously, "You have to follow the three virtues and four virtues. You have to serve my mother and me every day. You have to be virtuous and generous. With me as your heaven, you have to help our Lyu family with everything. You can't disobey!"
Yun Xiuqing did not take it seriously and sneered. He was not looking for a wife, but a nanny with a small vault!
