The spring exam finally came to an end in a tense atmosphere. The Chen family and Chen Jing finally passed the examination of the Tongsheng and became a Tongsheng. Students, generally can pass the children's assessment.
Lu Chengyu failed again.
It's very difficult to be a scholar. Lu Chengyu seemed to have been hit this time, and hid at home for several days without going out.
Lu Chengyu failed the exam, making the Lu family gloomy.
Logically speaking, it doesn't matter if Lu Chengyu didn't pass the exam for a scholar. After all, it's not easy to be a scholar.
However, Tang's airs were too high. Last year, he put on an attitude of preferring to be short and not indiscriminate, and rejected all those who came to ask for marriage. This year, he rejected those people again, saying that his son will do his best in the scientific examination, and everything will wait until the scientific examination is over. Besides.
The daughter's family has limited youth, and most of the families who came to ask for marriage have already married their daughters.
Lu Chengyu didn't pass the exam, and those who were rejected before couldn't help gloating.
Right now, Lu Chengyu is already considered an old leftover man, and Lu Tong has also reached the age of paying taxes, and it seems that there is no longer any delay.
Both Lu Chengyu and Lu Tong's lifelong events were pending, causing rumors in the village to abound, and many of them ridiculed Tang's superiority and inferiority.
Seeing that Lu Chengyu failed the exam, Lin Xiuer immediately complained. Tang could put on airs with Lin Xiuer before, but Lu Chengyu failed the exam. After all, she was a little guilty, and the two of them had to quarrel from time to time.
Although there was no big quarrel, it was still not peaceful.
Lu Chengyu didn't pass the exam, and Lin Xiuer wasn't as flattering as before. Although she didn't say it clearly, the implication was that Lu Chengyu spent so much money at home, but she couldn't even pass the exam as a scholar.
Lu Chengyu wanted face the most, and when Lin Xiuer complained like this, he didn't show it on his face, but his mood was very gloomy.
Chen Jing was admitted to Tongsheng this time, and he was very excited. Chen Jing had always looked down on Lu Chengyu's style. .
Although Lu Chengyu was valued by his tutor, if he didn't pass the exam, he didn't pass the exam. No matter how important the tutor was, it was useless.
…
Lu family.
"Xiaotong, take the clothes here and wash them, you will be getting married soon, and you can't be so lazy when you get to your in-law's house." Lin Xiuer yelled loudly.
When Lu Tong heard Lin Xiuer's words, he couldn't help but blushed.
Looking at the pile of smelly clothes, Lu Tong couldn't help but take a step back.
Lin Xiu'er looked at Lu Tong's disgusted expression, pouted her lips, and said, "Hurry up! There are a few girls in the village like you who prefer the light to the heavy, fear this one, and despise that one, and they're not really young ladies." .”
Before, Tang's eyes were in the sky, and he waited for Lu Chengyu to be admitted as a scholar and marry Lu Tong into the city. Now this situation is probably impossible. There are many people who want to marry Lu Tong, but Tang's this I don't like it, and I despise that one, and offended several matchmakers.
Some time ago, Lin Xiuer always remembered that Lu Tong broke into their fourth room and took away Lu Songshi's rations.
"Aunt Si, don't you have nothing to do? Why do you want me to wash?" Lu Tong said sullenly.
Lin Xiu'er got angry all of a sudden, "You damn girl, I still have to cook and boil water! How can you be so leisurely like you, the family has raised you for so many years, you should learn to do something, you don't know anything, How can this go on like this, go to your in-law's house! You have to honor your mother-in-law, but no one will spoil you anymore. "
"What's the noise?" Mrs. Wang came out.
Lin Xiuer glanced at Mrs. Wang and said, "I'm too busy. Let Xiaotong do some housework. She's about to marry. She doesn't know anything. How can she stand in her husband's house?" Lin Xiuer sighed , "It's been such a long time, and no one has come to propose marriage with a full face. If it drags on, it's time to pay taxes."
Hearing Lin Xiuer's tone, Lu Tong's heart tightened.
Lu Tong has always thought highly of himself, seeing how Lin Xiu'er described her as unmarried, how could he feel at ease.
Mrs. Wang glanced at Lu Tong with some distaste. The old lady was also very concerned about Lu Tong's marriage. The people who came to propose marriage recently were all muddy legs in the eyes of some old ladies, and the few matchmakers who came to the door were all grabbing Lu Tong's age. Let's talk about things, let the Lu family not be too picky, I'm afraid they will be too picky, and stay at home and become an old girl who can't get married.
Like the Tang family, the Wang family also expected their granddaughter to marry a wealthy family. However, the people who came to propose marriage were far from what the old lady had expected. According to several matchmakers, the old lady was angry at first, but gradually became a little angry. Agreeing, the old lady gradually felt that Lu Tong might not be as good as she thought.
"Grandma, I'm about to get married, how can I go out and do my laundry in public?"
"Which girl in the village hasn't washed clothes! It means that you haven't washed much, so you will inevitably be dismissed as lazy." Lin Xiu'er retorted loudly.
Mrs. Wang glanced at the disgusted Lu Tong, and said, "There are so many things at home, how can you do nothing if you don't reach out for anything all day, go and wash your clothes."
Seeing that grandma was on the side of fourth aunt, Lu Tong felt a little bitter, but there was nothing he could do.
Lu Tong hugged his clothes and left sullenly, but he scolded Lin Xiu'er severely in his heart.
Lu Tong also complained a little bit about her elder brother, who always failed to pass the examination as a scholar, which made her unable to find a good husband's family, and was ridiculed by her fourth aunt at home.
