Bai Xiucai just took the provincial examination this fall, and the results haven't been released yet.
He has already taken the exam twice, which is held every three years.
Mrs.
Bai keeps praising her son as a genius, but in fact she doesn't have high hopes for this exam.
Bai Xiucai also knew that he had never seriously entered a private school and had to study hard on his own.
His enlightened teacher and father were not much help.
He himself murmured in his heart that he did not dare to put too much hope in it, but he also hoped that he would be able to exhale and raise his eyebrows, and that he would only have half a foot on the official career after passing the Juren Examination.
Some scholars nearby opened private schools to teach people, and they could earn enough to support their families.
Because he still had great ambitions, he was afraid of delaying his own studies, so he wrote letters and copied books to earn some copper coins.
My family was poor, and I didn't dare to think about getting married and having children.
In the past two years, I don't know whether it was because of his mother's complaints, or because I am getting older and have more ideas, and I have become more and more miserable.
Sometimes I read all night long, imagining that there is someone beside me who understands both coldness and warmth, cutting candles and adding charcoal for him.
If I hire a fair and beautiful wife, I can hold her close to her in my arms on such a cold night in late autumn.
He dared not tell anyone whose face he saw when he had this dream.
Bai Xiucai has the standard appearance of a frail scholar.
His face is slightly sallow, and his clothes are washed very clean, but the collar and cuffs have been worn and turned white and discolored after being worn for a long time.
This was the fifth and sixth time since he came back from taking the exam that he came back to see Yue Huan.
Because he was extremely shy and didn't like to talk, his behavior became even more unusual.
Sister-in-law He who lives across the street has talked to Lin Yunnuan several times, guessing that Bai Xiucai is attracted to her sister Yue Huan.
Lin Yunnuan used to have two sisters, Zhaoxia and Wanxia, as his personal assistants.
After Wanxia's marriage, Lin Yunnuan gave her her freedom and opened a small porridge shop in Junze with her natal brother.
Zhaoxia originally wanted to marry her into the Mu family, but Mrs.
Lin persuaded her to stay with Qian on the grounds that "she had served you and Tang Yi in the house before and was afraid that Yiheng would feel uncomfortable".
The servants also became a family.
Now Yue Huan is the only one beside her.
She was the one she picked after coming to the capital.
He is young, quick-tongued and very loyal to her.
Although Qingfeng is good, after all, his life with her is short.
If she wants to live an ordinary life, she can't be too much of a drag.
I took Yue Huan with me, intending to choose someone she liked.
Bai Xiucai is ten years older than Yue Huan.
Apart from her character and background, Bai Xiucai's mother is not an easy person to get along with.
If Yue Huan gets married, troubles between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will inevitably happen.
Lin Yunnuan sighed silently, thinking that he had thought too far.
It’s not too late to see what Yue Huan means first.
Bai Xiucai blushed, lowered his head, stood at the door and offered what he was holding, "My mother's candied dates are delicious."
Yue Huan secretly rolled her eyes.
Bai Xiucai is in his early twenties and can't even speak clearly.
She coughed uncomfortably: "Mr.
Bai, you're welcome.
You can keep it for yourself.
I have it at home."
Bai Xiucai's face turned redder and redder, and he brought his hands closer, "My mother's craftsmanship is different."
Yue Huan stared at the bowl.
A sea bowl with a chipped edge contained a dozen large dates, stuffed golden and semi-transparent, and covered with a layer of icing sugar.

It is said that Bai Xiucai's family is not well off, so this kind of sweets and preserves should be rare.
But Baba brought it to her to taste.
Yue Huan hesitated whether he should accept it or not.
She looked back at Lin Yunnuan, who smiled at her, got up, and turned around to go to the cubicle.
Yue Huan knew that Lin Yunnuan meant to let her make her own decision.
When Bai Xiucai saw that she didn't answer, he changed the topic with a bang: "Tomorrow, tomorrow's temple fair, would you like to go and have a look?"
The words were almost too low to be heard by the end.
Yue Huan's face was hot with shame.
Bai Xiucai wanted to ask her out to visit the temple fair together "you"
She opened her lips, but before she could say anything, Bai Xiucai suddenly lowered his head, put the bowl on the stone tiles on the ground, turned around and walked out.
As he walked, he hesitated and said: "Now, I'm waiting for you on the stone bridge."
"Hey" Yue Huan called him, and the more he called, the faster he walked.
Yue Huan closed the door and came in with the bowl.
She saw Lin Yunnuan leaning on the table and laughing so hard that her shoulders shook.
Yue Huan's face darkened, "Sister knows how to make fun of me.
Just now she didn't even say a word to help me.
That nerd made things difficult for me."
Lin Yunnuan laughed so hard that her face turned red.
She raised her head and licked the messy hair in front of her forehead: "How can I help you, help you accept, or refuse for you?
You don't even have an idea.
How can I make the decision for you?"
Yue Huan turned around and sat on the couch, fuming and silent.
Lin Yunnuan pushed her: "Then whether you want to go to the temple fair tomorrow or not, whether you have any idea or not, you have to talk to him and give him accurate information.
Don't let others wait in vain."
Yue Huan said "Hey" and rolled on the couch while holding her hot face.
Lin Yunnuan smiled and said: "Why are you so troubled?
Do you have some interest in him?
If so, then you might as well get along with him first and see if you can get along.
Everything else is easy to talk about."
Yue happily sat up, held his head and said, "I'm just so annoyed.
I don't like this kind of nerd.
I don't know how to talk to him.
To be honest, I'm afraid of hurting his self-esteem.
His life is already difficult, and he's like that Lonely people tend to think too much It's heavier.
But if I'm vague and refuse, I'm afraid that he'll think I'm interested and come over to show my courtesy.
Sister, I'm really in a dilemma.
It would be nice if he was like Mr.
Jiu, and I don't care if he beats or scolds me.
What to do, what do you say?”
Her words suddenly stopped.
As soon as the word "Jiu Ye" came out, the smile on Lin Yunnuan's face turned into a lump of ice.
Yue Huan stuck out her tongue secretly.
She really got into trouble by talking nonsense.
Jiuye is taboo.
It is the only hurdle in grandma's heart that cannot be overcome, the ditch that cannot be crossed, and the pain that will not heal.

Lin Yunnuan forced a smile: "Don't think too much about it.
Everyone is different.
If you really don't mean that, stop thinking about him as soon as possible.
It's better than getting involved and end up involving both of your reputations.
I'll go.
Look at Brother Yu and Sister."
She stood up and went to the back room.
Yue Huan looked at the figure from behind.
She was so frail and frail, but she had given birth to two children with all her might.
In fact, she didn't quite understand.
Grandma couldn't let go of Master Jiu, and she clearly felt miserable in her heart, but she insisted on leaving him and living alone with her children.
What's going on?
What woman doesn't want to have a man by her side who loves her?
Master Jiu loves her like that, but she doesn't want that.
Yue Huan finally went to the temple fair.
From a distance, I could see Bai Xiucai stretching his neck and looking over here.
When he saw her coming, a smile broke out on his thin face.
Yue Huan's heart was heavy, and Wu Yan walked forward side by side with him.
The place in front of the temple was extremely lively, with pedestrians jostling one after another.
She accidentally bumped into her.
Bai Xiucai beside her seemed to want to reach out and give her a hand, but the hand struggled in the air for a long time and did not dare to reach out.
Yue Huan pretended not to see her, quickened her pace, quickly passed through the crowd, and stopped in a remote place.
Bai Xiucai caught up, somewhat out of breath.
Yue Huan doesn't like this kind of weak man, who is not as physically strong as her.
"Mr.
Bai."
Yue Huan spoke.
Bai Xiucai waved his hand towards her, put his hand on the tree, lowered his head and coughed a few times.
Yue Huan bit her lip and planned to wait until he finished coughing before speaking.
Bai Xiucai finished coughing and took out a small paper bag from his arms.
"I bought the hawthorn candy on the street."
Yue Huan stared at the paper bag and suddenly lost her patience.
"Mr.
Bai.
I don't like sweet things."
Yue Huan said sternly, "Not only do I not like hawthorn candies, but I also don't like candied dates.
Even if I want to eat anything, I can buy it myself.
I appreciate Mr.
Bai's kindness.
I am in no position to take your husband’s things without merit.”
Bai Xiucai obviously didn't expect that she would say this.
His eyes opened slightly, his mouth opened slightly, his face turned red, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"I didn't mean any offense," he explained.
"Of course I know that you didn't mean to offend, but that you have good intentions and want to get closer to our neighbors."
Bai Xiucai thought about his thoughts and rubbed his hands in confusion, "I'm not, I just want to ask the girl something."

Yue Huan said: "Okay, you ask."
"My mother asked me to marry her, but I didn't like her.
I have someone in my heart."
After all, Yue Huan was a little girl, and her heartbeat suddenly beat like a drum.
Bai Xiucai, who usually kept silent, called her out, but he was so bold as to carry someone behind his back.
Yue Huan was too embarrassed to listen: "Mr.
Bai, I'm not that good."
Bai Xiucai's Adam's apple rolled up and he said: "I am twenty-six years and seven months old this year, and there is only one old lady in my family.
The clan has lost contact in recent years, and there has been no contact since the clan uncle left.
Everything in the family is simple, and the yard It’s enough to live in.
I’ll wait until the results are released next month, just in case I’m lucky enough to win this or the future.”
Yue Huan was a little confused by what he said.
She raised her face to look at him.
Thin and narrow, there was a faint blush from longing and excitement.
Listen to him say: "I have nothing to offer, I can only promise that I will love my wife for the rest of my life, even if I have to support a few more people, I am willing to do so."
Yue Huan was stunned and became more and more confused.
Who does he want to support?
Not to mention whether she agreed to marry him, when did she ask to bring her family to join him?
Besides, she was a single girl, and she was getting married.
Couldn't she bring her master's family with her?
What are you talking about?
"I've heard all about those things.
Three months after the baby was born, the father didn't see anyone.
They all said she was abandoned by others.
I don't mind it.
Over the years, I have heard many sarcastic remarks. , I don’t mind what people say about her or think about me, Miss Yue Huan.”
"Wait a minute."
Yue Huan frowned, and only then did she find the key words in a long paragraph of his ramble, "Mr.
Her, when you invited me out to talk so many words, what did you want to say about everything you just said?
I know every word, but why can't I understand you?
Please tell me why you are asking me to express your loyalty in a concise and clear way."
Bai Xiucai pursed his lips, and the grown man rubbed his hands in embarrassment like a little daughter-in-law.
"I want to ask the girl to tell me that I intend to hire your sister as my wife."
Yue Huan's eyes widened.
She felt like she didn't have enough brain power.
What is Bai Xiucai talking about?
Who is he attracted to?
"If you lose, take money, take money."
Amidst the commotion, several shirtless men squatted on the ground gambling.
Mu Yiheng threw away the last piece of silver in his hand, cursed and stood up, "No more playing, I asked you to steal all my money, and you are working together to plot against me."
He kicked someone who was blocking his way, casually picked up his robe from the ground and put it on his body, "I'd better go take a bath, you can play by yourselves."
Seeing that they couldn't keep him, everyone had to get up and send him away with a playful smile.
The two shirtless men looked at each other and looked in the direction Mu Yiheng was leaving.
One of them said meaningfully: "Can you do it if you are ready?"
"I don't care if he can do it or not.

Our brothers are thinking about Master Jiu's health.
Even if Master Jiu doesn't appreciate it, he won't scold us in return.
What are we afraid of?"
Mu Yiheng walked to the river behind the camp and realized that the atmosphere was a little different.
In addition to the coldness of the wind, there seemed to be a faint sweetness in the air.
As he surveyed his surroundings, he began to tear off his cloak.
At this moment, there was a noise in the calm water, and a beautiful woman with disheveled hair emerged from the bottom of the water.
Her hair was slightly curved and beautiful, and her body was soaked with water.
The thin gauze clothes could not cover anything, revealing an exquisite curve.
Mu Yiheng was stunned for a moment.
When he saw the beautiful woman smiling and reaching out to him, what else did he not understand?
All parties failed to persuade him, and now he reached out to the army.
Kukopo wanted him to start a new love life.
Mu Yiheng snorted lowly.
He turned his head, turned around and left, and at the same time summoned the soldiers: "Go, shout at the few people who were gambling and drinking just now, and tell them that I will punish them by running circles." gd1806102:
