Wen Qun ate silently with his head down, listening to the conversation between his father and Brother Jing during the meal. He felt extremely happy and even the meal, which was the same as usual, seemed especially delicious to him today.

After finishing the meal, Jing Yao and the matchmaker were about to say goodbye and go back. Jing Yao looked at the empty front hall and said goodbye to his father-in-law and brother-in-law.

Wen Xing liked Jing Yao very much. Seeing that he was reluctant to leave, he reminded him: "We are from the same village, come and visit often."

Wen Yu looked at Jing Yao's eyes that suddenly lit up, and couldn't help but hold his forehead. His father really didn't understand this man. He was always taking advantage of others.

Sure enough, after that day, Jing Yao often visited the Wen family. At first, Wen's father received him carefully, but later, as more and more people came, he left the guests to Wen Yu and Wen Qun.

However, when Wen's mother saw Wen Qunxu go out, her attitude became much better. She even brought the twins to give Jing Yao a return gift, thanking him for giving gifts to the two little ones every time he visited.

Wen Xing and Wen Xing also expressed their opinions. Wen Xing gave the four treasures of the study, and Wen Yu gave books. It was self-evident what the two were thinking.

That morning, Jing Yao went up the mountain before daybreak. He walked very fast and deep, almost reaching the depths of the mountain. He stopped beside a hidden stone wall, pulled aside the hanging vines, pushed aside a stone, and walked in. Inside was a large cave. The sun shone down from the top of the mountain, shining on a lush tree, emitting a sparkling light.

If there is a doctor here, he will find that the surrounding area is full of various precious medicinal materials, mainly ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Ganoderma lucidum, etc. The different living environments and conditions have no restrictions on these plants, and they all live in this small world and grow wildly.

Jing Yao waved his hand, and dozens of green gem-like things appeared out of thin air. With a force of his hand, all these beautiful gems turned into powder and floated in the air. Some began to slowly fall, while some remained in the air without falling. The plants in the cave seemed to feel the energy in the air and swayed happily in the wind.

Looking at the various plants full of vitality, Jing Yao nodded with satisfaction. This space was a secret plantation he built specially. All the medicinal herbs and fruit trees in it were found and transplanted by him in the mountains. After his careful cultivation, many of them have broken through their original growth rings and began to evolve in the direction of mutation. However, although this world is peaceful and stable, it cannot even be considered the end of the Dharma Age. Jing Yao does not have much hope for this prospect, but simply leaves a way out.

Because his wood-based ability has mutated and he will unconsciously absorb energy from the surrounding air, he rarely stays inside for long. After coming here to take a look, he will have to wait until March next year to come back. After checking around and confirming that there is nothing abnormal, he restored everything to its original state and turned away.

I went back to several places where I often hunted, cleaned out several traps, got a lot of prey, and went down the mountain early. As soon as I reached the foot of the mountain, I heard voices of conversation.

"I heard that Wen Xing promised Wen Qun to Jing Yao. Well, I was trying to find a family for him, but he turned out to be an orphan without a father or a mother, without any land, and made a living by hunting. Don't you think he's better off than Zhou Shan from Xiabao? Although he's a little poor, his parents bought him more than ten acres of good land, and he's the only son in the family. If he marries her and works hard, he won't have to worry about food and clothing."

"That's right. Hunting is so dangerous. The Chen family in Shangbao broke his leg while hunting and is now bedridden. His mother works as a servant in the Wen family and can barely make ends meet, but he is so skinny!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Before, I said I would marry my niece to him and he looked down on me. Now I think back, it's a good thing I didn't marry him, otherwise I would have been scolded to death by my sister-in-law."

"I heard that Wen Qun is not popular at home. Li Xun'e doesn't like him. Wen Wan's marriage was carefully selected. How could she be like Wen Qun..."

"Not only is he unpopular at home, but when he's outside, he's shy and shy when talking to him, and his words aren't sweet."

"That's right. I think if he hadn't said that Wen Xing's child, there would probably be no one who would come to propose marriage. She's even worse than my niece!"

Jing Yao knew that this was the characteristic of the times, but it still made him a little impatient. These women he didn't know and had never met, what did their lives have to do with you guys? They just kept gossiping about them.

If it were usual, he would have ignored it, but today, he was talking about his little husband, so he deliberately walked past them with the prey in his hand. Because he wanted to propose marriage a few days ago, he deliberately used his supernatural powers to attract prey. Although he has retreated now, animals have a keen sense of smell. If he goes today, there are still some good stuff. He strung two bunches together and found a stick to carry them down the mountain.

Seeing him walking by, the women stopped talking and stared at his prey with their eyes wide open. They didn't know that what they had just said had been heard by others, and they asked Jing Yao with a smile how much he wanted to sell the prey.

Jing Yao glanced at them, but didn't get angry or argue with them. He just smiled and said he wouldn't buy it.

Several women looked at their prey and praised him for being young and promising, saying that he was a capable young man and that whoever wanted to marry him would be blessed. They seemed to have completely forgotten what they had just said about him.

Wen Li passed by and called out to Jing Yao, "Wow, you are amazing. A few days ago, you said you didn't like Qun Qun. What a misunderstanding, but in just a few days, you came to propose marriage. You are really quick."

Jing Yao smiled and said nothing. I can't say that it was because of what you said that I became interested in him, and seeing that he was so popular, I wanted to settle on him as soon as possible. Are you afraid that someone will snatch him away?

"Where are you going?" Jing Yao changed the subject.

"I just went to the mine to see them preparing materials. I guess they will start transporting them here tomorrow. Don't I have to keep an eye on it?" That's why he met Jing Yao who came back from Xishan.

Well, Jing Yao said, pulling a chicken and a rabbit from the Danzi Mountain and handing them to him, "Take them back to replenish your body."

"How can that be possible? You're going to sell it for money. How can I just take your things?" Wen Li quickly refused.

"It's not casual, you are half a matchmaker." Jing Yao said with a smile.

Wen Li was stunned, and felt that Jing Yao's smile was a bit provocative, but after hearing what he said, she did not refuse, "Okay, I will help you when you get married."

"Yes," Jing Yao gestured as he walked, and the two of them went down the mountain towards the upper fort.

As for the women behind him who said things like he was a spendthrift and had no elders, he chose to ignore them.

When the two of them were almost at Wen Li's house, Jing Yao was still following him. Wen Li was a little puzzled. He thought he was going to the town, but he was not heading out of the village. Curious, he also asked, "Where are you going?"

Jing Yao raised his head and motioned for him to look, "Qun Qun's house, send him something, his father-in-law happens to be at home."

Wen Li was speechless. This guy was really rude. They just got engaged, but why was he so impatient? If Uncle Xing hadn't said that they would wait until Wen Yu finished the imperial examination before getting married, he would probably have started preparing for the marriage now.

If Jing Yao could read minds, he would answer, yes, the more he looks at the young husband, the more he likes him. If the wedding date had not been set so far in the future by his father-in-law, he would have wanted to marry her earlier instead of hypocritically talking to his brother-in-law and father-in-law to get a chance to meet him once, and then keeping a distance.

When Jing Yao arrived at the Wen family, Wen Xing was writing in the yard and Wen Qun was embroidering something. When they saw him coming, they both stopped.

"You're here." Wen Xing took the handkerchief, wiped his hands, and said, "Come and see what I wrote."

Wen Qun went over to help, but was rejected by Jing Yao. He put the things down, smiled at the man, causing the man to run away shyly, and then he walked over.

After reading it, he said, "Good calligraphy."

He had not received much education in modern times, nor had he learned any calligraphy, but he remembered having seen people write and having been taught by a teacher, and although he had never written himself, he could tell the difference between good and bad handwriting.

"Hahahahaha, although I only achieved the title of Juren in my life, not to mention other things, but my handwriting has been praised by countless people." Wen Xing's calligraphy is one of the things he is most proud of.

Jing Yao nodded. He was quite good at hard pen calligraphy, but he just couldn't think of any decent compliments.

Seeing that Jing Yao was reading seriously, Wen Xing took away the written paper and said, "You have also studied for a few years. Why don't you try writing something?"

Jing Yaoye was not afraid, he took the pen and wrote a poem, because he hadn't written for a long time, his handwriting was crooked, compared with Wen Xing's handwriting, there was a world of difference. But Jing Yaoye was not the kind of person who would give in, when he got familiar with the pen, the second time he wrote it was much better, and when he wrote it for the third time, it was completely different from the first time.

When Wen Xing saw Jing Yao writing for the first time, he noticed his unfamiliarity. When he wrote for the second time, he was impressed by his progress. But when he wrote for the third time, he had already shown some style and he nodded to him repeatedly. He was a good-natured person and such a person could not be constrained by his family background and knowledge.

When Jing Yao finished writing for the fourth time, the paper was already full. He stopped writing and said to Wen Xingdao, "I'm sorry for my embarrassment."

Wen Xing carefully picked up the paper and read it carefully for the fifth time. The handwriting was comparable to that of some students, and it was obvious that the foundation was very solid. "Have you ever thought about continuing your studies?"

"No." Jing Yao answered bluntly. He knew the ancient imperial examination system, and he felt overwhelmed reading the Four Books, Five Classics, and Eight-legged Essays. He did not like them. When he first came here, he also went to the bookstore to look at them, but he did not feel like buying anything.

Wen Xing was choked by his directness and did not continue to persuade him, "You can practice calligraphy."

Seeing that he was satisfied, Jing Yao had an idea and said, "Father-in-law, I'll write another one for you to see."

Wen Xing was more satisfied when he saw that he had listened carefully, so he gave up his seat to him and said, "Write now."

He reached his hand into his lapel, seemingly taking something out, but in fact he was searching in the space. He took out a pen, thought for a while, wrote down a few lines of Li Bai's famous poem, and handed it to Wen Xing to read.

Wen Xing took a look and thought the calligraphy was great, majestic, and smooth, much better than what you just wrote.

When Jing Yao heard this, a smile appeared in his eyes. The only thing he was proud of in modern times was his handwriting, and he was very happy to be recognized.

Wen Qun came over with water in his hand and said, "Brother Jing, your handwriting is really good."

Jing Yao took the water and pinched the child's nose.

Wen Qun wanted to move closer to look at the paper in his father's hand, but when his father did that, he covered his nose in embarrassment and his face turned red.

Wen Xing saw it, but didn't say anything. He pretended not to see it and savored the poem carefully, saying, "This poem is not bad either."

Jing Yao was afraid that he might misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "This is from one of my fellow villagers. I have heard it before and I remembered it."

Wen Xing nodded, approving of his honesty.

The three of them talked for a while, and Wen's mother asked them to eat. This was not the first time that Jing Yao came to their house. Wen Xing did not say anything, and Wen's mother would not say anything either. Moreover, Jing Yao would always bring some prey to their house, so they were taking advantage.

Although the Wen family did not have a rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, everyone ate quietly. Seeing that Wen Qun was eating shyly at his home, Jing Yao gave him some dishes that Wen Qun liked. Unexpectedly, this made him even more embarrassed.

After dinner, they drank tea and chatted in the hall. Wen Xing was an elegant person, but he preferred tea to wine. When Wen Xing was proposing marriage, he saw some good tea while rummaging in the space, and he took some of it. Wen Xing liked it very much and took some out to taste from time to time.

"Why did you bring so much here today? Aren't you taking them to the town to sell in the mountain?" Wen Xing was talking about the prey. Jing Yao would have taken them in the past, but not so much. He would only take a part of them and sell the rest in the town.

"No, I'm going to go to the dock today. I heard that a big ship will dock there this afternoon." There are usually ships docking at the dock every day. The big ships are those that are returning from the sea. These ships usually carry some strange and weird things. It depends on whether you recognize them. The price will naturally be more expensive.
