Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

[Imaginary dynasty + free storage space for your brain (keep your intelligence fresh)]

Gantang Village, Xiemu County.

An ox cart was swaying along the official road.

There were several torn sacks piled on the ox cart, and sitting next to it was a boy and a girl who looked about 13 or 14 years old and looked 50% similar.

Both of them were dressed in coarse linen clothes like ordinary country people.

"One tael, five taels..., twenty taels."

The young man was holding a small purse and kept taking out small change from it and handing it to the girl next to him.

"Little sister, I'm going to deposit twenty taels of silver with you this month. If I calculate, is the total exactly two hundred taels?"

The girl nodded in response, with deep dimples on her face.

The young man was in a good mood. The two hundred taels of silver were his own private money. When his younger sister got married, he would give the silver to her as a dowry, which would be a token of his appreciation as a second brother.

"Little sister, Dad said that Jun Yi passed the imperial examination this time, so he will let you two get married, to double the happiness."

Hearing this, the girl lowered her eyes, and her thick and straight eyelashes blocked the flash of annoyance in her eyes.

"Really? Dad hasn't told me yet."

Of course, the annoyance in Yun Xi's eyes was not directed at her brother Yun Yan, the young man who was speaking, but the discomfort caused by hearing the name Jun Yi.

"Dad said that he will tell you after he discusses the marriage with Jun Yi's family after he comes back." Yun Yan said again.

"Then why are you telling me? You are just a big mouth." Yun Xi smiled with her lips pursed, dimples faintly visible.

"I'm not!" Yun Yan immediately retorted.

Yun Xi knew her second brother's temperament. He knew his limits and knew what to say and what not to say.

Otherwise, I wouldn't dare let him know about family matters and get involved.

"Yes, yes, you are not a loudmouth. You are like your elder brother, mature and steady."

Speaking of her eldest brother, she looked at the handsome young man driving the ox cart in front of her, and her sparkling eyes turned.

"I will tell my parents today when I go back that there is no rush for me, because my two brothers are not married yet."

When Yun Yan saw her staring at her eldest brother's back and saying this, he immediately understood and blurted out,

"I'm not in a hurry. My elder brother hasn't even married Sister Ling'er yet."

Yunqi paused holding the bullwhip. He didn't expect that the conversation between his younger brother and sister would cause trouble for him.

He married Zhou Ling?

Thinking of this, my ears turned red.

She coughed uncomfortably, "Ahem, don't talk nonsense. She is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family. How could she possibly like me?"

Yun Xi covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Her brother was worried that the girl would look down on him, but he did not argue that he did not like the girl.

Yun Yan didn't care. "Hey, why don't you like me? You are what my sister said, tall, rich and handsome. You are tall and strong, handsome, and you can make money. If people knew that you are one of the owners of the most famous Seven Stars Tower in the county, let alone the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, even the daughter of the county magistrate would probably be eager to show you kindness."

Yun Xi looked at his second brother who kept talking and encouraged him to say a few more words with her eyes.

Yun Yan received the encouraging look from his younger sister and continued, "Besides, my younger sister has said that in the future we will not only open this restaurant, but also do more to make money. By then, hmph, not to mention the daughter of the county magistrate, even the daughter of the county governor, big brother can marry her."

Yun Xi: "..."

I told you to speak, not to talk nonsense.

It was good that his second brother had such confidence, but she had not yet thought about becoming a relative of the county magistrate, but his second brother really dared to think about it.

No matter what time, marriage is about being well-matched. How could the county governor be interested in a merchant?

unless......

Yun Qi saw that his second brother was talking more and more outrageous, and he couldn't help but turn around and glare at him.

"Shut up, you really dare to say anything, I'll let my parents punish you later."

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and reminded her again, "You must keep our family affairs secret from me, especially from Zhao Junyi. You can't reveal a single word. If I find out that you have leaked even a little bit, watch out for your skin."

Yun Yan immediately covered his mouth, nodded continuously, and hummed, "Don't worry, I will never say anything nonsense."

Then he asked Yun Xi, "But little sister, when are you going to tell Brother Jun Yi about our family's money-making?"

Yun Xi gave him a glare and said, "It's not now anyway, just keep your mouth shut."

Yun Yan stammered twice and said nothing more.

His mouth is tight enough already, why do you have to give him all these instructions?

Yun Xi stopped talking and leaned lightly on the sack to take a nap, her thoughts wandering.

Logically speaking, Zhao Junyi, as her fiancé who had been engaged to her since childhood, no, to be more precise, the original owner's fiancé, could reveal some information about the money his family had made.

However, after she traveled through time and took over the original owner's memories, she found that there was something strange about the original owner's death, and she suspected that it was related to Zhao Junyi.

The original owner was engaged to Zhao Junyi when she was 6 years old, and Zhao Junyi was only 9 years old at that time.

Zhao Junyi's father, Zhao Pingxiu, was a student who could read and write. He started to teach Zhao Junyi when he was three years old, hoping that he would take the imperial examination.

However, the imperial examination was extremely expensive, and the Zhao family was a very poor farmer in the village. The few acres of good land in the family were sold out when Zhao Pingxiu was taking the examination.

He himself did not even work to earn a living in order to raise his son.

The family lives a tight life, let alone sending the children to college to study and take exams.

The Zhao clan members are not wealthy, and they have helped as much as they can. They are powerless to help more.

Therefore, the Zhao family came up with an idea, which was to get engaged to the daughter of the Yun family, and then ask the Yun family to borrow money.

Yunxi's father, Yun Huaiyuan, was a famous hunter in the village. He often went up the mountain to hunt and got some wild animals to sell in the county. Yunxi's mother, Xi, was also a hardworking woman and managed the work in the fields very well. The family lived a good life.

They are also the only family in the village that has some surplus every year, so the Zhao family set their sights on the Yun family.

At that time, Zhao Junyi did show a talent for studying, and the villagers were very optimistic about him.

The Yun family was the same, so they agreed to the marriage and provided the Zhao family with ten to twenty taels of silver every year.

This is almost all the savings of the Yun family from their annual frugality.

Zhao Junyi was also very hardworking and passed the examination to become a student at the age of eleven.

Don’t think it’s easy to pass the examination to become a Tongsheng. One has to go through two rounds of examinations, the county examination and the prefectural examination, before becoming a Tongsheng.

Every year, there were only a few students who passed the exam in Xiemu County, let alone 11-year-old students.

This is the youngest student in Xiemu County.

Maybe for a royal noble family, passing the examination to become a student at the age of eleven was nothing, but for a rural farmer's family with very scarce resources, having a student at the age of eleven was really rare.

Who wouldn’t love such a great talent?

The Yun family often feels fortunate that the marriage was arranged well, and they believe that it will be rewarded in the future.

The original owner was extremely satisfied with this marriage and would often secretly give delicious food to her fiancé.

He said he studied hard and needed some supplementary training.

Two years ago, the original owner's father went up the mountain and got a lot of game, and the original owner picked some and sent them to the Zhao family.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Junyi told her that he didn't want to eat any game but only wild peaches.

The original owner happily went up the mountain alone to pick wild peaches for him.

However, most of the wild peaches on the mountain had been picked by the villagers, leaving only a few peaches that were difficult to pick on a wild peach tree next to the cliff.

Just as she risked her life to pick the wild peaches and carefully got down from the tree, she suddenly felt a strong force pushing her from behind and fell off the cliff uncontrollably.

He died and passed through it himself.
