"Baby kiss? How can this work?" Mr. Song's wife's tone was full of dissatisfaction, "That's just a brother."
Mr. Song frowned: "My brother is also the eldest son of Li Jin's family. Besides, Li Jin's husband is also a brother."
His wife is still reluctant: "Li Jin married his husband because his family was poor. Our family is considered a rich man in the town, how can we let Dalang marry a brother?"
Mr. Song also has a serious face, but in fact there is not much machismo. Otherwise, this matter would not have been discussed with his wife in such a tone.
He said: "Li Jin is a cautious and diligent person, and the children he educates will definitely have peace of mind. I think he is a good match with Dalang."
In this era, women or brothers are much older than men and will be talked about.
But if a man is older, marrying a daughter-in-law who is six or seven years younger than himself is quite a story.
"Our Dalang is definitely going to participate in the imperial examinations. I won't let him marry before Zhongxiucai. If Dalang is twenty-three, Zhongxiucai, and Li Jin's children will be fifteen or sixteen by then, it's just right to marry him."
But his wife still killed the identity of 'brother'.
"Xianggong, the two children are just the right age, but the rich and powerful men in the town will not let their son eight carry a big sedan chair and bring back a brother.
Besides, Li Jin's family is really poor, and they all say that they marry their daughters high and their brothers low, so what kind of low marriage is this
If you really want to marry your child, you might as well wait another two years. If Li Jin can buy a property in the town in the future, it is not impossible for our two families to marry. "
Seeing that his wife had given in, Mr. Song could only follow along and say, "Then it's up to you, wait another two years."
Naturally, Li Jin didn't know about this. If Mr. Song really mentioned it to him, he might have to decline it.
After all, the little bun is his first child, the joy of being a father for the first time, and the entanglement of him in this strange time and space.
Li Jin didn't want to constrain Xiao Baozi according to the rules and regulations of this world. He wanted to do his best to make Xiao Baozi live more freely.
After the villagers rejoiced, Li Daniu squeezed to Li Jin's side and asked in a low voice, "What exactly is the 'Little Sanyuan' that the official said just now?"
Li Jin explained: "The exam is divided into three parts, the county exam, the prefectural exam, and the hospital exam. Each exam has a ranking. If the three are the top of the desk, then you can become a junior three."
Li Daniu was shocked.
Li Jin said with a smile: "The official is just saying auspicious words, and it can't be true."
Although he explained so modestly, Li Daniu still said: "Why can't it be true? This is because the official is optimistic about you."
Li Jin just smiled and said nothing. In fact, Li Daniu is right, the words 'Little Sanyuan' are really not dared to say directly by ordinary yamen officers.
But if the official just now said that, it was probably the county magistrate who asked him to say it.
To encourage and motivate myself, we must not be complacent just because the county has passed the test. The government test in April is the highlight.
Qin Muwen is now able to deal with people who come to the door and greet them with ease. Li Jin's side is surrounded by men, while his side is all women and brothers.
"Awen is also a lucky child. After giving birth to Li Jin's cub, Li Jin is now in high school."
"Yeah, so lucky."
Qin Muwen smiled and thanked him, but he didn't see the initial embarrassment at all.
By the time everyone was sent away, Qin Muwen's legs would be unable to stand.
Li Jin directly picked him up by the waist and walked towards the inner room.
Qin Muwen said quickly, "The door, the door is not closed!"
Li Jin was very satisfied with his response. He didn't say that he couldn't hug, but only said that the door was not closed. Doesn't this mean that his husband's subtext was 'the door is closed, you can come as you like'
Li Jin coaxed him softly: "It's okay, no one saw it."
Before the words fell, the voices of Xiao An and his husband came from the front of the courtyard: "Awen—"
Awen buried his face directly in Li Jin's arms, pretending to be an ostrich.
Li Jin's footsteps turned, and he simply carried the person to the study, and also invited the two at the door to come in.
There were so many people just now that everyone could only gather in the yard. Even if I went to the study, I couldn't sit down.
Li Jin put him on the chair, invited Xiao An and his husband to sit down, and brought hot water.
"Wenwen got tired from standing in the yard just now. I'll bring him to rest."
Xiao An watched Qin Muwen sitting in the same place, while Li Jin was busy going back and forth, without saying a word, but the envy in her heart was more than a little bit.
Qin Muwen actually wanted to help, but after being with A Jin for so long, he also knew that when A Jin asked him to rest, he had to be obedient, otherwise A Jin would get angry.
But in fact, there is no need for two people to cook hot water together, so Qin Muwen just sat down obediently.
Xiao An's husband said: "Congratulations to A Jin for the title. Xiao An has been in a panic at home recently, so I will take this opportunity to bring him out to show the joy of Master Wenquxing."
Li Jin smiled and said, "You're welcome, Wen Wen also talked about Xiao An before."
After sending them off, Li Jin closed the door first, then took his husband back to the house, wiped his hands, and whispered in his ear, "Do you still remember what you promised me?"
Qin Muwen's heart was full of 'A Jin was hit'. After hearing this, he was stunned for a while, and his face flushed when he came back to his senses.
He said softly, "Yeah."
Li Jin untied the straps of his clothes, took a shower with him, and went back to the bed.
He sat, leaned against the head of the bed, pinched Qin Muwen's waist, and said, "You come by yourself."
The two of them tossed until it was dark, before Li Jin rolled over and got out of bed, and after washing his body, he went to cook two bowls of noodles.
He coaxed Qin Muwen to eat, but Qin Muwen was too sleepy, so he lay down and went to sleep after eating only a little. So most of the noodles ended up in Li Jin's stomach.
Li Jin just finished 'exercise', put on a single coat, and went to the study to practice today's big characters.
Of course, there is no shortage of dictation every day. When he finished his push-ups and went to take a shower, it was close to the hour when he returned to the house.
Today is actually a wild ride. Li Jin couldn't control his emotions. When he saw the ranking, his mood was far less calm than he expected.
But his way of expressing joy is not by laughing and cheering, but by… expanding the joy with the people he likes.
When everyone thought he was calm, his little husband could lie on his chest and listen to the heartbeat like a drum.
And Qin Muwen didn't hold it, let alone reject it. Although his reaction was very jerky, he also expressed his excitement in a 'man' way.
This makes Qin Muwen completely different from most of the brothers in this era. He is not a boudoir pet waiting for a man to be lucky, but a person who is willing to share everything with you and spend a lifetime together.
It is precisely because of this that Li Jin never regarded him as a woman. At the beginning, he positioned Qin Muwen as 'younger brother'.
Later, he bent, and he became his husband.
The next day, Li Jincai visited Mr. Song after his high school desk.
Mr. Song said, "You are going to take the government exam in April. What are your plans soon?"
Li Jin replied: "Continue to read silently, practice writing eight-part essays, compose fu, and do arithmetic problems."
Mr. Song sighed: "You have practiced enough of these before. I actually suggest that if you have the opportunity, you can rent a house around the government office, or go to the county seat to rent a house. There are many students there. In the afternoon, you can also go to a teahouse or a nearby academy to communicate with people.”
Mr. Song is someone who has come from the past and has rich experience. Even if his wife stopped him from marrying Li Jin's family, it did not stop him from wanting to mention Li Jin's thoughts.
Li Jin said helplessly: "I can understand what Mr. said, but it is always not advisable to work behind closed doors. But there are only husband and monk's infant children left in the student's family. I am afraid that the student will fail the gentleman's love and cannot make two long journeys. moon."
Mr. Song originally wanted to say that he had some connections and could introduce some cheaper rental houses to Li Jin.
A house in the town sells for three taels of silver, in the county town for three and a half, and the average price in the government office is four taels.
If you rent it, it is cheaper, and a room only costs about 30 cents a month. The disadvantage is that such a house has no furniture, poor sound insulation, and no kitchen.
Even if you only eat buns a day, as a big man, you have to eat at least ten buns. That's a lot to spend in a month.
But what Mr. Song said was right in the end. The style of writing in the county is unmatched in the town. Only by interacting with people at the same level will it continue to improve.
Li Jin is a transmigrator. His greatest golden finger is self-discipline and self-learning ability. He said: "Sir, the difference between the prefectural examination and the county examination is not too much. I am confident that even if I don't go to the county seat and the prefectural government, I can still do it. Test well."
Mr. Song had no choice but to let Li Jin go.
Looking at Li Jin's current situation of dragging his family with his family, this proves the correctness of not letting children marry before they pass the exam.
After coming out from Mr. Song, Li Jin actually found a big man squatting there across the road. Who else could it be if it wasn't Chen Xiran
Chen Xiran listened to Li Jin's footsteps getting closer and closer. He lowered his head and did not look at Li Jin.
"My father is going to send me to the government office to feel the atmosphere..."
As early as when Mr. Song told him all this, Li Jin guessed that Chen Xiran would probably go directly to the county seat or the government office.
Sure enough, he was not wrong.
Chen Xiran said in a low voice, "There is an academy over there. My father bought me a place with money and said that if I didn't go, I would break my legs."
Li Jin said: "This is also very good. You can know immediately about any new changes in the government examination."
Chen Xiran raised his head and asked, "How about you?"
Li Jin said: "I will stay in the town for a while now, and it is considered clean. I will go to the government office early next month to sign up, and we can still catch up."
Chen Xiran: "That's the only way. This time there is less Huang Yiling in the joint insurance. We need to add one more. But you don't have to worry about this. Xu Zifan said he can find a good person."
Xu Zifan is fourth this time, and he will probably pass the government test, so there is no need to pull people into the water.
"I'm leaving this afternoon. It will take at least two days and one night to travel. A Jin, we can only meet at the government office."
"Well, have a safe journey, and prepare for the government test."
A few days later, Li Jin also had to go to the government office to sign up. This time, besides Zhou Qi, the ox cart he rented with Xu Zifan and the others also had a new face in the car.
However, this new student is not from their town, but from the county town. It is said that in order to travel together, they first rushed from the county town to the town.
This person seems to be younger than Li Jin, with Dan Fengyan, he shows the lavishness of a young master in every gesture.
He said, "Your Excellency is the head of the case, Li Jin?"
