The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Yan Zhenshen went to the village early in the morning. This time everything went smoothly and he came back with the land deed before noon.

Zhao Guizhi held the land deed in her hand and glanced at Chu Xiao angrily: "I've never seen a guy as stupid as you."

Chu Xiao still didn't take it seriously. To him, wherever his brother Shen was was his root.

If there is something that he cannot predict and cannot prevent, it may not be of any use even if he has money and land.

It would be better if there were a few thunders and I could wander around the world from then on.

He never cared about material things. After all, money was not a difficult thing for him as long as he wanted. All he wanted was a stable life and a group of people who cared about him.

"I've kept it." Zhao Guizhi put the deed into Chu Xiao's hand and smiled helplessly again.

"Leave them all for our little Yu'er." Isn't this the custom here? Working hard for the next generation.

Chu Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, there is strength in numbers. If there were more survivors of the apocalypse, they would not end up in destruction.

Recovering his thoughts, Chu Xiao put away the deed.

Although the title deed is still written in Yan Zhenshen's name, it will be handed over to Chu Xiao and placed in the space for safekeeping.

The family now has seven acres of paddy fields and three acres of dry land. Chu Peng also has four acres that they rent for farming. Add to that the livestock at home, and I'm afraid they will be very busy next spring.

The news that the Yan family had bought more land soon spread throughout the village.

Think about how they used to have trouble getting enough food and clothing. Now, not only have they built a big house, they have also bought so much land and can even easily support a scholar. It would be a lie to say that the villagers are not envious.

How did the Yan family become rich? If they really relied on the hunter Yan Zhenshen, they wouldn't have been poor for so many years. All these things started after they married Chu Xiao.

As they were talking about this, in addition to the various weird sayings from the past, people also started talking about the fortune of their husbands and their horoscopes.

If rich families have certain requirements before getting married, such as exchanging birth charts and calculating horoscopes, farmers naturally don't have so many requirements. If they are satisfied with each other, they will decide on the price of the bride price and set the wedding date.

As for the wedding date, you can just ask the elders in the village to see which day is suitable. There is no taboo.

As for finding a fortune teller or Taoist priest, most people would not do that, after all, that costs a lot of money.

But who doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law who will bring good luck to her husband? Many people start to think that they still have to match their horoscopes in the future.

Because of this, the fortune tellers in the village have seen a lot more business than in previous years.

The villagers were talking at once, and the more they spoke, the more they envied the Yan family. They all said that they had been wrong. If they had known that Brother Chu would bring such good luck to his wife, they should have proposed to him earlier.

An aunt sighed and said, "It's not you who is blind. I'm afraid it's the scholar's wife who must be regretting it."

This young man Chu was engaged to Mr. Zhang back then, but a piece of gold was just pushed away like that.

Besides, Zhang Yiju was about to go to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination. Because of the travel expenses, Zhang's mother had already asked many people to borrow money.

Everyone in the Zhang family had helped this scholar in the past, but no one benefited from his success.

It doesn't matter if there is no benefit, after all, it is a matter of honor for the family, so they are naturally willing to contribute some money and effort.

But now this piece of paper has done nothing and the reputation of the academy in the town is very bad.

Logically speaking, how could Zhang Yiju's family have not enough money to go to the provincial capital? It was because of his bad reputation that no one helped him to make friends.

The imperial examination has always been difficult, not to mention that the autumn examination is held every three years. The five candidates are required to guarantee each other, so if one of them has a problem, all five will be punished.

Therefore, the people who guarantee each other must be carefully selected. In the past, Zhang Yiju would certainly not have such concerns, but now there is the broken engagement and the brothel, plus he was in a bad mood and had a fight with his classmates in the academy. As a result, no one cares about him now, and it is really difficult to find five people to guarantee each other.

If there is really no other way, you can only make friends with those scholars who know there is no hope but don't mind giving it another try.

However, this kind of mutual relationship always comes with some price, that is, Zhang Yiyu has to be responsible for all food and drink expenses, otherwise they would be too lazy to make this trip.

Even if they lived frugally along the way, this extra person would still be a considerable expense, and the Zhang family had no way of coming up with so much money all at once. But if they wanted to change their family background, they had to take an exam, so they had no choice but to borrow some money from others.

But after borrowing for a few days, they only managed to collect a dozen taels of silver, which was all for the coffin money of the elders in the clan. When people get old, they always hope that the family can have a bright future. They don't expect to live a good life with the help of borrowing, but at least they can give an explanation to their ancestors when they go to the underworld.

As for the younger ones, each family has its own life to live, and even if they have some spare money, they don’t want to lend it out.

I don't know since when, everyone's thoughts changed. They always felt that giving away the money would be a waste, and it would be better to keep it for themselves and eat more meat.

Thinking carefully, I realized that it was Zhang Yiming who turned over a new leaf. He would go to Zhang Yiju's house whenever he had time. Sometimes he said he wanted to borrow some food, sometimes he said he wanted to borrow some cloth, but he always returned empty-handed.

You know, when Zhang Yiming's father was alive, he helped this scholar a lot. But now that this scholar has money given by the government every month, he is not willing to help the orphan and his widow in return.

It is better to be as generous as these peasants. If Zhang Yiming really came to borrow money, they would have borrowed it. It’s not like they won’t pay it back. What they pay back is always a little more than when they borrowed it.

They look down upon such scholars who do not know how to repay their gratitude, even if they are from the same clan.

In the past, the villagers looked down on Zhang Yiming because the kid was too unreliable. But now they find that he is trustworthy and honest, and always smiles when he meets everyone. The more they look at him, the more they think he is a good guy.

On the contrary, the scholar was so arrogant that he always had an arrogant look on his face. He didn't even say hello to the villagers when he met them.

You don't know until you compare. After the comparison, they felt that they couldn't reach Zhang Xiucai's level and didn't want to reach him.

Zhang's mother was also worried about her son. When she heard that the Yan family had bought three acres of land from Zhang Zhenglai for twenty taels of silver, she ran over happily.

It can be said that Zhang Zhenglai and Zhang Yiju are somewhat related, but they are somewhat distantly related. Maybe their grandfathers' grandfathers were brothers.

Anyway, they are all on the same family tree and can be called family members. Ever since her son passed the imperial examination, Zhang's mother always felt that she was superior to others. Even when asking others to borrow money, she was unwilling to lower her noble head. She always felt that if she humbled herself, she would lose face for her son, the scholar.

So she entered Zhang Zhenglai's house without saying a few polite words, and went straight to the point: "I won't borrow much, ten taels will be enough."

Zhang Zhenglai's son didn't even pass the Tongsheng examination, while others were going to take the Juren examination. It was impossible for him to say that he didn't feel disappointed. Moreover, his family sold the land to buy books for his son, so they were not willing to lend the land like this.

Even if other people's children become the top scholar, it is not as useful as your own son becoming a scholar.
