When Jiang Wan was drying her clothes, the thoughts in her heart were already drifting away.

This Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts, and there were many scholars everywhere, and there were a lot of talented people. Pei You won the lifting test in the township three years ago, and when the commoners saw him, they had to be honored as a lifting man, exempted from tax and forced labor, and his life should have been easier than that of ordinary farmers. However, Pei You's father died early, his mother was also blind due to excessive use of his eyes in the year he was raised, and he also had a ten-year-old sister at home, so life was naturally not easy, in order to take care of his family, he didn't even go to the Beijing exam in the spring of the second year, and went straight back to his hometown, at that time his mother who wanted to be Jackie Chan also had a fight with him. Now his family's main income is the bundle he earns from running a private school, but the people who come to school around him are all peasant children, and he can't afford to give too much, so his family's life has been barely living.

These are all things that happened after Jiang Wan moved in, and in her memory, there are still some things that she heard about Pei You's family before their family moved in. This Pei You's father was originally a hunter, his mother was a foreigner, once his father went to the mountains to hunt, just happened to save his mother, and then formed a good fate, the two got married, married and loved, and soon gave birth to Pei You. Pei You's father was also from outside many years ago, and he didn't have any relatives, and his mother heard that he had fled at the beginning, and none of his relatives were gone, so no one had come to visit his relatives for so many years. Since Pei You's father died, the Pei family didn't even have a relative who could help, so they became increasingly poor, first relying on Pei You's mother to do needlework and pulp washing to subsidize the family, and then she became blind, and his teaching work became the only source of livelihood for the Pei family.

Jiang Wan dried her clothes and went to the kitchen to help Xu Fenggu choose vegetables and wash them. Xu Fenggu looked at her poor daughter, who was beautiful but commanding, and couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Wan asked casually while washing vegetables: "Mother, when I came back just now, I met Mr. Pei next door, and he didn't seem to have a good face." ”

Jiang Wan's family moved to Shanxia Village four years ago, and Xu Fenggu was originally married to Jiangjia Village from Shanxia Village, but Jiangjia Village was flooded and everything was destroyed, so Xu Fenggu and Jiang Funian moved over with their daughter and son. Most of the villagers in Shanxia Village are surnamed Xu, many of them are related, Lizheng Xu Guanghai happens to be Xu Fenggu's cousin, she thought that after all, she would be able to get some care after moving here. But fortunately, the villagers in Shanxia Village are so simple that they can barely live this life, and Jiang Funian and Xu Fenggu have never thought of moving to other places, and when they are new to a strange place, they will inevitably have a lot of pickled things. They moved late, and Li Zheng gave his family a piece of unowned land at the far edge of the west entrance of the village to build a house, so it was not far from Pei You's family, who was also an outsider.

To the north of Yamashita Village is Mt. Grandma, from which a small river flows diagonally through the entire village. The cultivated land in the village is on both sides of the river, Jiang Funian and Jiang Wan's younger brother Jiang Gu went to the field early in the morning to be busy, Xu Daniu and Li Jincui didn't touch each other when they came, otherwise there would be trouble.

Xu Fenggu was peeling edamame beans and said casually: "Mr. Pei's body has never been very refreshing. I heard Aunt Mei say that Sister Chunying was born prematurely when she gave birth to Mr. Pei, and she landed in seven months. ”

The Aunt Mei in Xu Fenggu's mouth is Li Zheng Xu Guanghai's wife Ma Xiumei, and Sister Chunying is Pei You's blind mother Xu Chunying. Xu Chunying's surname is Xu, and most of the people in Shanxia Village are surnamed Xu, so after she was rescued by Pei You's father Pei Tiezhu, everyone in Shanxia Village said that Xu Chunying had a relationship with Shanxia Village.

Jiang Wan nodded again and again when she heard this, but she smiled secretly in her heart, that Mr. Pei didn't have a bad face this time because he was not in good health, he was scared by her.

"Then Mr. Pei is not young, why hasn't he married a wife yet?" Jiang Wan asked again.

Xu Fenggu said: "Sister Chunying's vision is high. She always said that her son would become an official sooner or later, and next year's exam, he would definitely be able to go to high school, but she didn't want to marry her son casually now. ”

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something, and turned her head to look at Jiang Wan fixedly: "Wanwan, should you be...... Look at Mr. Pei, right? ”

Jiang Wan was slightly stunned and did not answer immediately.

This reaction was already a tacit acquiescence in Xu Fenggu's opinion, she frowned, and her face was a little sad: "Wanwan, my mother is sorry for you, I didn't give you a good family affair before...... But Sister Chunying's vision is high, she can't look down on people like us, ...... Don't think about Mr. Pei, okay? Mother promises you that she will definitely find you a good family in the future! ”

Speaking of which, Xu Fenggu's eyes turned red again, and she cried lowly: "My hard-working daughter, God, why are you so cruel to my son!" ”

Jiang Wan hurriedly dropped the dishes in her hand, walked over in a few steps and hugged Xu Fenggu, and comforted her repeatedly: "Mother, don't cry, you cry so sad that I want to cry with you." She could feel Xu Fenggu's apology and despair for her daughter, and she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, pitying the hearts of parents all over the world, "Mother, don't cry, it's okay if no one dares to marry me, I'll accompany my father and mother, in the future, we will make a lot of money, live our own free life, and let those who chew the root of their tongue envy!" ”

Xu Fenggu cried and sighed: "Son, you are such a good daughter, you were born in our family, and you were wronged." If you didn't have those pickled things before, let alone Mr. Pei, you can even marry the son of the county magistrate! ”

Although Xu Fenggu's words are a bit big, they are not saying it out of thin air. Jiang Wan is a big beauty, her identity is not good, but she is beautiful! In addition to beauty, her personality is also gentle and amiable, and everyone who sees it praises it, and it is not impossible to marry the son of the county family, but she was harmed by Kefu's name.

Jiang Wan said coquettishly: "Don't say it's the son of the magistrate, it's the emperor's son, and I don't look down on it." I just want to be by my father's side and be your dearest and most beloved daughter. ”

In the past, she lacked the love of her father and mother, but now she has parents who love her, and she naturally cherishes it very much. What is the reputation of "Kefu", of course she is a soul from the future who doesn't care at all, if she can't marry someone, she won't marry, she can always find a way to make a fortune and live a good life!

"Wanwan ......" Xu Fenggu knew that her daughter was trying to comfort herself, and she was even more sad, she was useless, obviously the saddest thing was her daughter, and now she wanted her to comfort herself, she was so useless as a mother!

The mother and daughter hugged each other here, and there was some movement outside the small courtyard, Jiang Wan went out to take a look, and said happily: "Mother, my father and the second child are back, let's stop crying, let's cook quickly, don't starve them." "Xiao Er is the nickname of Jiang Wan's younger brother Jiang Gu.

When Xu Fenggu heard this, she hurriedly wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and her choked voice slowly calmed down: "Yes, Wanwan, I don't need you here, you go out to rest first." ”

While he was talking, Jiang Gu outside had already shouted: "Sister, I just heard from my little cousin, then Li Jincui came to trouble you again in the morning?" ”

The little cousin in Jiang Gu's mouth is Xu Xiaohu, Xu Guanghai's son, who is just sixteen years old, four years younger than Jiang Wan, but he can't stand his high seniority, Jiang Wan and Jiang Gu have to call him cousin when they see him.

Jiang Wan hurriedly greeted her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, she didn't take any advantage, but she was frightened by me." ”

"Really?" Jiang Gu asked in surprise, he was only twelve years old, but he was already as tall as Jiang Wan, and he looked like a tiger with a tiger head and a cute look.

"Really, can I still lie to you?" Jiang Wan smiled, "Don't worry about it in the future, she wants to bully me again." ”

Jiang Funian on the side said: "Girl, in the future, when we see that Li Jincui, we will walk around, don't mess with her as a shrew." ”

Jiang Wan quietly stuck out her tongue at Jiang Gu, turned her head to face Jiang Funian and replied seriously: "Dad, I know." ”

Jiang Funian nodded, and walked into the house with a hoe with a calm face.

Jiang Gu quietly approached Jiang Wan and asked in a low voice, "Sister, how did you scare that shrew away?" He learned from his father's words and simply replaced Li Jincui with a shrew.

Jiang Wan also lowered her voice and said, "I scared her away after I said two words, but I can't let my mother hear that again." ”

"What the hell did you say?" Jiang Gu looked curious.

Jiang Wan said what she had said to Li Jincui before in Jiang Gu's ear, Jiang Gu's eyes widened, and he hurriedly pulled Jiang Wan's wrist and said hurriedly: "Sister, you can't think about it!" ”

Jiang Wan looked helpless: "Little Er, why are you like your mother?" I said that I was scaring them, but I didn't think so. I'm living comfortably now, why can't I think about it so much? "There's another scholar who hasn't hooked up, and she's reluctant to die.

Jiang Gu said unhappily: "It's not okay to scare them, anyway, you can't say that in the future!" ”

"Okay, okay, can't I say it? Really, are you a sister or am I a sister? Jiang Wan pinched Jiang Gu's cheek, "Come into the house and rest for a while, it's time to eat later." ”

"Got it!" Jiang Gu quickly dodged Jiang Wan's claws and jumped into the house. He felt that his sister had changed a lot since the head injury, but he liked his sister who didn't care about the nonsense. What if he can't marry someone, he will support her for the rest of his life!

Seeing Jiang Gu enter the house, Jiang Wan still went to the kitchen to help Xu Fenggu make lunch.

After the meal, Jiang Funian and Jiang Gu went to the ground again, Jiang Wan fed the two chickens raised at home, and after saying a word to Xu Fenggu, she was ready to go out for a walk.

Although she is thinking of hooking up with a scholar, marrying him may be an official wife in the future, and life will be better. But even if she is very confident in herself, there is no guarantee that she will be able to hook up successfully, and even if the hookup is successful, the scholar may not be able to be admitted to the official, so this hookup is also convenient, and what she wants to do most at present is to find a way to make a fortune.

Jiang Wandong looked west, wondering where there would be money, and suddenly saw a little girl who looked like she was only seven or eight years old walking in front of her. She looked at it, wasn't that Pei Yulian, the little girl from Pei You's family next door?

She stepped forward a few steps, greeted with a smile, and said in an extremely cordial tone: "Yulian, is this going home?" ”

Pei Yulian was startled, subconsciously took a step back, and saw clearly that it was Jiang Wan in front of her, and she said sneeringly: "Sister Wan, I'm ...... I'm about to go home. ”

Jiang Wan saw that she was carrying a basket of dead branches on her back, and knew that she had just come back from collecting firewood from the mountain, so she stretched out her hand and smiled: "Yulian, I'm about to go back too, let's go together, I'll help you get it." ”

Pei Yulian hurriedly gave way and stammered, "No, no need, Sister Wan...... I, I can handle it myself. ”

"Don't be polite to me, we are neighbors after all, and if I ask you in the future, you will help me, right?" Jiang Wan smiled. For example, in the future, I will help her hook up with her brother or something......

Pei Yulian was dazzled by her brilliant smile and nodded in a daze.

Jiang Wan took the opportunity to take off the basket on her back, and almost didn't hold it firmly when she started, she carried the basket well, she took Pei Yulian's thin and small hand, and went home with her.

Pei Yulian is now ten years old, but Xu is perennially malnourished, she looks only seven or eight years old, Jiang Wan just accidentally touched her shoulder, panicked, and at this moment found that her little hands were also rough and thin, and she felt a little pity in her heart. Even if she didn't want to hook up with Pei You, she wanted to take care of this well-behaved and poor little girl more.

Jiang Wan kept sending Pei Yulian to her door, and before she got closer, she heard the sound of Langlang reading in the courtyard, including Pei You's unhurried and gentle voice, which made her heart ripple slightly. Pei You's voice is soft, slightly low, if you lower the tone to speak, it is the kind of voice full of magnetism, and when she successfully hooks up with him, she will let him use that voice to say love words in her ear, which must be very good.

Pei You was teaching the children to read in the yard, and inadvertently glanced out but saw his sister walking back with Jiang Wan, he was startled, and settled down to let the children read aloud together, and put down the books and walked out of the yard.

When he came out, he noticed that Jiang Wan was carrying his basket on his back, he turned his eyes, and saw her talking to his sister with a slight bowed head and a smile, her side face was soft and beautiful, and that smile made his heart pound, and the roots of his ears were red.

"Thank you...... Give it to me. Pei You didn't dare to look at Jiang Wan, and walked up quickly, feeling a little worried in his heart, and his eyes dodged.

Jiang Wan looked at Pei You with a smile, took off the basket and handed it over, when he took it, her slender fingers seemed to inadvertently wipe the back of his hand, seeing that his body stiffened and his cheeks were red, she was suddenly proud in her heart.
