Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

Everyone was busy all afternoon and was really tired, so they went to rest. The four Jinghan sisters returned to the backyard talking and laughing. They were young and didn't feel tired, so they talked together.

"Sister, are you happy now? Brother Pengcheng, no, I should call you brother-in-law. Now that my brother-in-law has been admitted as a scholar, my sister will be a scholar's wife. In the future, if my brother-in-law is admitted to be a scholar, he will be elected as an official. , Sister might even get a title," Jinghan said with a smile.

Jingya is no longer as shy and blushing as she used to be. Instead, her face is full of joy, and she can't help but smile at the corners of her eyes and brows. It makes her features more picturesque and beautiful. "Everything in the world is unpredictable. Who knows what will happen in the future? No matter where he goes, I will support him." Jingya said softly.

Jingwan next to her suddenly smiled evilly and said, "Second sister, is it possible that you envy the eldest sister? What's more difficult? Three people have passed the exam at once. Brother Zixuan doesn't seem to be engaged yet, and now he is too He's a scholar, and he's worthy of our family. Second sister, brother Zixuan is pretty good, you can consider it." Jingwan found that Jinghan had never thought about it, so she gave it a try as a joke.

Jinghan was stunned for a moment. It was the first time someone said this in front of her, and she was a little uncomfortable with it. Brother Zixuan? In Jinghan's mind, Zixuan looked at her with a gentle smile. Jinghan shook her head, are you kidding me? Brother Zixuan has thought of her as his sister since he was a child. How can any sister marry her brother?

"Jingwan, don't talk nonsense. I'm still waiting for brother Zixuan to marry a gentle and virtuous sister-in-law." Jinghan said. But, why do I feel a little sour when I say this? Jinghan suddenly found that she felt uncomfortable.

Jingya is a very smart girl. When she saw something was wrong with Jinghan's expression, she knew that maybe the confused girl in front of her hadn't turned around yet. "Jinghan, are you tired? Go and take a rest. I'm tired too, why don't we lie down in this room together for a while." After saying that, Jingya took out the pillow and quilt, and everyone He stared at Jingya's room for a while.

Jinghan lay on the kang, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She didn't know what was wrong, but whenever she thought about brother Zixuan marrying a gentle and beautiful woman in the future, she felt unhappy. I was drowsy and didn't know when I fell asleep.

By the time everyone woke up, it was already the end of Shen Shi. They got up and freshened up each other, and then came to the front yard. As soon as I reached the door, I heard voices inside.

"Siyuan, why do you think you are so polite? I must be very busy at home tonight? You can come over anytime. We, as a family, can't be picky." It was the old man who was talking, and it sounded like it was the Yue family who was coming. People.

Jinghan looked back at Jingya and found two red clouds flying on Jingya's face. Jinghan smiled and said, "Sister, my brother-in-law is here." After saying that, she opened the door and the sisters entered the house.

Sitting in the room were Yue Siyuan and Yue Pengcheng, as well as the Yue family's housekeeper. As soon as Pengcheng saw Jingya coming in, his eyes were fixed on Jingya and could not move away anymore.

Both Yue Siyuan and the old man noticed it. Yue Siyuan smiled and said, "Pengcheng, you and Jingya go out and chat for a while. You don't feel comfortable if we talk here." Of course Yue Siyuan wanted to let Pengcheng and Jingya have a good time. Let’s talk, the young couple should share such a happy event.

The old man listened and nodded, "Jingya, go and sit in the study for a while. Pengcheng has been out for so long, so it's time to have a good chat."

The Jingya sisters went out of the house directly, followed by Pengcheng, and they all went all the way to Wenhan's study. Jinghan opened the door from the front, "Sister, brother Pengcheng, you guys are talking here, I'll get you some food." After saying that, the sisters all ran away. This is not the time for light bulbs to be used. , we have to let them talk alone for a while.

Jingya and Pengcheng walked into the study. To the north of the study was a small kang, and to the south there was a wooden couch by the window, with a small table placed on the wooden couch. Jingya and Pengcheng sat face to face on both sides of the small table. Jingya's face was red, her head lowered and she didn't speak.

Pengcheng looked at the woman in front of him. Since the engagement, the two of them had seen each other less. "Jingya, I have lived up to your expectations. Now I am really a scholar. When we get married, you will be a scholar's wife."

Jingya nodded and said softly, "As long as you like it in your heart, it doesn't matter whether you are a scholar or a white body, I will recognize you in this life. As long as you have me in your heart, even if you don't have any fame, we will Live the same life.”

After hearing Jingya's words, Pengcheng couldn't suppress the love in his heart, and reached out to hold Jingya's hand. The soft and smooth feeling made Pengcheng's mind wander, and he couldn't help but hold it slightly harder.

Jingya's face turned even redder, and she tried to pull her hand out slightly, but unexpectedly she was held tighter. "Don't be like this, be careful if Jinghan or the others see it." Jingya whispered.

When Pengcheng thought of his troublesome sister-in-law, he knew that what Jingya said was very possible, so he let go of Jingya's hand. "My father is here this time to discuss the date of our marriage. Why don't we wait until Dongyue comes? Jingya, I really want to marry you as soon as possible." Looking at the charming fiancée in front of him, how many men can not want to Want to get married quickly?

"Well, just follow father's arrangements." Jingya nodded.

Jinghan and Jingwan came outside the study with tea and snacks. "Second sister, shall we go in?" Jingwan was a little hesitant.

"What's wrong? This is our house. Besides, aren't we here to bring you something? We can't let our brother-in-law come without even having a cup of tea, right?" Jinghan smiled with some evil intentions. , just kidding, she won’t let go of the opportunity to cause trouble.

Jinghan held the tea tray in one hand and gently knocked on the door with the other hand. Then she opened the door and entered the house without waiting for anyone in the room to answer. In the room, Jingya and Pengcheng were still sitting on both sides of the table. Both of them looked normal, without any signs of panic. Jinghan's impression of Pengcheng was a little better. He seemed to be a polite gentleman, not bad.

"Sister, brother Pengcheng, come and order some tea and snacks." Jinghan and Jingwan put things on the small table.

"Jinghan, you should call me brother-in-law, right? Why call me brother?" As soon as Pengcheng saw Jinghan, he remembered the things he had been teased about before.

"Brother-in-law? Haha, just wait. When you prepare the red envelope, I will change my mind. Let me tell you, if the red envelope is missing, let alone calling you brother-in-law, you will never even think of marrying my sister." Jinghan He threatened with a smile.

Pengcheng gave a wry smile, "Okay, I'm afraid of you. Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your wish." This sister-in-law is not an ordinary person. If she deliberately causes trouble for you, she really can't resist it.

Jinghan and the others put down their things but were in no hurry to leave. Jinghan turned around and came to the bookshelf, picked a book, and then sat on the kang to read. Jingwan looked at Jinghan in confusion, wondering what kind of medicine Jinghan was selling in the gourd.

Pengcheng understood as soon as he saw this look that Jinghan was going to chase someone away, so he stood up and said, "It's getting late. My father and I will go back first. There are still a lot of things to deal with at home. Jingya , you have a good rest and wait for father and others to set the wedding date, and I will come to marry you then." After saying that, Pengcheng went out.

The three remaining sisters of the Xu family looked at each other and then laughed. "Okay, you damn girl, how can Pengcheng be the kind of man Meng Lang is, and you still have to guard against him?"

Jinghan curled her lips, how could she say such a thing accurately? These two people are about to get married. It is inevitable that men will be distracted, so of course they have to be careful. You just gave them some time. This is already a great deal of face, okay?

At this time, Jingxian came in from outside, "Eldest sister, second sister, and uncle Yue have left. Grandma asked me to come over and call you over."

The sisters got up and left the house and came to the front yard. The Yue family are all gone, but all my own family members are here, which is fine. As soon as Mrs. Chen saw these four slim and beautiful girls, her face immediately burst into laughter. "Girls, come quickly. Sit here with grandma."

The four sisters sat on the edge of the kang, and then the old lady said something. "Pengcheng's father just said that he would bring forward the wedding date of Pengcheng and Jingya. I think it's okay. It's too cold in the winter months. I just calculated that the two days are September 26th or October 6th. It’s all good. We’ve almost finished our work on the mountain at that time, so we should be able to get out of the way. What do you two think?”

Xue and Zhixin looked at each other, and then Xue said, "Mom, let's make it October. If it's September, betrothal gifts will have to be given on September 16th. At that time, we'll still have to pay for it. Isn’t it right to scatter ginseng seeds? That would be too busy.”

"Well, that's what I'm thinking too. OK, let's set it in October." After hearing what Xue said, Mrs. Chen nodded. This daughter-in-law can usually think of things together with her. The old lady turned to look at Jingya, "Jingya, if the wedding date is set for October, it won't be long. Are your wedding clothes and everything ready?"

Jinghan nodded, "Grandma, I have already prepared it." When she heard that the wedding date was set for October, Jingya couldn't help but blush.

"Okay, then let's tell the date to the Yue family another day and listen to what they want. Of course, the two families have to discuss the marriage. Jingya has also prepared a lot of dowry these days, so Meilin and Yingzi have time to spare. Let's think about it more and see if we can add something. Now that Pengcheng is a scholar, our Jingya's dowry shouldn't be too ugly." Mrs. Chen also told Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Zhu, "It's getting dark now. Come on, let’s get some food quickly, and then everyone has a good rest. We’ll have a holiday tomorrow, and we’ll be busy the day after tomorrow.”
