Ever since the Fang brothers were admitted as scholars, there has been a stir among families with daughters in eight villages here.

In the name of coming to the Dragon Temple to offer incense, many people inquired about the brothers from the Fang family who was visiting the temple inside, thinking of introducing their daughters and grandchildren to the scholar-gong of the Fang family.

Some people even brought their daughters and granddaughters to the Dragon Temple to burn incense together and let the people who were visiting the temple see them.

What if I could meet Xiucai Gong’s grandparents or parents?

Not to mention, the chance of meeting the Fang brothers and grandparents there is quite high, except that Mrs. Yang has to help take care of her grandson at home and has no time to go to the Dragon Temple.

Basically, old men and women who have grandchildren of marriageable age often go to the Dragon Temple to hang out, thinking in case they can meet the right one.

However, the popularity dissipated within a few days, mainly because the people who came here had previously said that it was all very exciting, but when they came with their little girls, these grandparents were greatly disappointed.

From what they said, the daughter in the family seemed to be a fairy, and they felt that their grandson was a little unworthy of them. But when he looked at this person, he could only be called handsome at best.

Not to mention compared to Liu Yuer and Yang Huiyun, she is far behind the girls in her own village.

Women here in Nanyue County generally have darker skin and are thinner. There are very few that are fair and chubby. It's not that they are not good-looking, but they look very unlucky in the eyes of the elderly.

And after all, he has never seen the world. Although he is not coquettish, he still has a small-minded spirit.

I thought that if my grandson goes to college in the future, not to mention becoming a Jinshi, or becomes a Juren in the future, he can also work as an errand. If he marries such a daughter-in-law, he will be a little helpless.

The Fang brothers were all very upright in appearance, and with the good news nourished by spiritual water over the years, they grew taller and more handsome, not to mention their appearance.

Not to mention in Shiliba Village, it is also a very dazzling presence in the county. A group of handsome young men are quite eye-catching when they go out.

In the eyes of grandparents, not to mention marrying a rich lady, at least it cannot be worse than the daughter-in-law that Fang Zhiqiang and Fang Zhiwu found themselves.

People in Fangjia Village don't have any sectarian opinions, but they generally like good colors. This problem occurs from old to young.

Not to mention, you really can't find anyone with crooked melons and cracked dates in Fangjia Village. At least they all have straight facial features.

Especially now that Liu Yu'er and Yang Huiyun have raised their eyebrows, they are even more picky, so after spending a few days squatting in the Dragon Temple, the old man and the old lady gave up their thoughts and returned to their previous routine of life.

Fortunately, the Fang brothers are not very old, because Fang Zhiqiang and Fang Zhiwu are both married, and now Fang Zhiwen is the oldest.

People in his family are not in a hurry. The main reason is that Fang Zhiwen is motivated and talented in reading, and he doesn't know how high he can go in the future.

If you become a Jinshi, you might be selected by some official in the capital to capture your son-in-law.

Not to mention Fang Zhixin, Fang Zhiyuan and Fang Zhigang, they are only seventeen years old.

Although almost everyone gets married and has children in other places, it is not uncommon for people not to get married at this age in Fangjiacun.

Like Fang Youwei, they were all relatively late at that time. Of course, at that time, it was because their family was relatively poor and they had to save enough betrothal gifts before they could get married, so they were delayed.

Although the reasons are different now, it should not be too early for any future men of the Fang family to get married.

The children of the Fang family are all studying now, and they will all try to take the imperial examination in the future.

Moreover, now that only those who have won the title of Scholar are so many people, there is no shortage of people to get married. If they are selected to be a Juren or Jinshi, won’t there be no shortage of people to marry?

There is a saying that if you have a good meal, you are not afraid of being late. Putting it off may not be a good thing, as a better marriage may be waiting for you later.

...I am the dividing line...

The days passed leisurely like this.

The next year, the Fang brothers lived up to expectations and passed the exam again!

The rankings are also relatively high in the middle, and even Fang Zhigang and Fang Zhiwu's rankings are not low.

This was actually a bit beyond everyone's expectations. Even the two of them thought they would stop being scholars. Unexpectedly, they reviewed their homework with their brothers, discussed poems, songs, and even current affairs, and actually passed the exam with ease.

This makes them feel a little confused, thinking that they may not be as talented in reading as they thought before.

Maybe he was a late bloomer and suddenly became interested in reading.

So after that, the two of them studied more seriously and prepared to work hard in this year to become a Jinshi and shine brightly.

It's a coincidence that when the official came to announce the good news, Yang Huiyun and Liu Yu'er had just given birth. The baby on the front foot was born, and the good news of the lift on the back foot arrived. It could be said that it was a double happiness!

Yes, they were both pregnant front and back, but they were born on the same day.

Liu Yu'er gave birth to a daughter, and Yang Huiyun gave birth to a son. Both families were very happy.

Fang Zhiwen's parents do not favor sons over daughters. They prefer their younger daughter, so they also like their granddaughter very much.

In particular, the granddaughter picks out the good qualities of her parents. It can be seen from the moment she is born that her facial features are exquisite, and she will definitely be a beauty in the future.

Another thing is that she was born on the front leg, and the news came that her father was pregnant on the back leg, and she was regarded as a little lucky star.

It was a double happiness for both families, so the villagers decided to hold a running-water feast for two days during their third day of bathing.

This is good, not only girls from ten miles and eight villages often come to show their faces, but also many people from the county and even the next county come to offer incense and show off their portraits, just in case the family members of the Fang brothers take a fancy.

Already.

This is a great achievement!

Although a scholar's wife sounds good to others, she is far from being a scholar's wife.

A scholar is called Xiu Taigong, and a scholar is called Master Juren. You can tell the difference by hearing the title.

Moreover, even if a person does not pass the college entrance examination, he or she will still be qualified to be an official. In the future, she may become a real official’s wife. Who wouldn’t be jealous of this?

But this time the Fang family is much calmer, and they will see what they have to see when they come. They also have the intention not to miss it if there is something better, but they are not as concerned as before.

I am thinking that my child will go to the capital to take the exam. Mr. Jinshi, there is no need to make a decision in such a hurry.

It's not impossible if there is something really good.

After the heat had passed, the Dragon Temple didn't have a choice, so Fang Zhixin found one for himself.

She is the daughter of the Huayang County Magistrate's family. In the past year, they have often gone to the County Magistrate's Mansion to receive advice. As soon as they went back and forth, the two of them knew each other.

However, the secret was so well concealed that no one noticed it. Fang Zhixin also wanted to wait until he won the election before proposing marriage to the county magistrate.

He didn't dare to magnify his words and mention it again after he won the imperial examination. If he failed to pass the exam, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

He was still somewhat sure of passing the exam.

No, as soon as the news came back that he had passed the imperial examination, he confessed to his parents.

Fang Zhixin's father, Fang Youming, was already a guard in Huayang County at this time. Although the Fang family did not have much background, in terms of official position, he was still close to the county magistrate.

The two people are of similar grades, and they are equally matched in terms of literacy and martial arts.

Because his father was very capable, Fang Zhixin had the confidence to directly propose marriage to the Huayang County Magistrate.

If the difference is too big, he will have to wait until he gets ahead before he dares to come.

When Fang Youming and his wife heard this, there was no reason why they should not talk about each other's family affairs. Based on their contacts with the county magistrate in the past few years, they also knew that the other party had a good tutor.

On the other hand, although he is on the defensive, he is really in danger if he goes up any higher. He knows his own weight.

The Huayang County Magistrate is different. He has the support of the County Sheriff. As long as he makes some achievements here, he will be promoted.

Now is the right time to propose marriage. If you wait until someone is promoted, it would be a bit high to propose marriage. Even if the other party agrees, it will still be a downtrodden marriage.

So the couple went to discuss with Fang Yunping, the village chief and uncle, and found a good day to find an official mediator to propose marriage.

The Huayang County Magistrate's surname was Liang, and his given name was Liang Haisheng. When Fang Youming and his son came to the house with a matchmaker, they knew what was going on.

After his daughter heard the news that Fang Zhixin was elected, she told her mother about the two people.

Although the county magistrate's wife was a little angry that her daughter was too unreserved, it was fine even if she didn't have a private life-long commitment.

However, she also knew that her husband was very optimistic about the younger generation of the Fang family. Fang Zhixin had a good personality and appearance, so she went to tell her husband after scolding him a few times.

So Liang Haisheng knew about this.

It can be said that he has been waiting for the other party to come to propose marriage these days.

He had at least four sons, and he had a daughter like this. He had loved her very much since she was a child, and of course he wanted to find her a husband who could treat her well.

He made good friends with the people in Fangjiacun, and even often called a few young people to come over for guidance, which was actually a bit selfish.

First, I know that the young people of the Fang family are indeed capable of learning. Not only are they talented, they are also very good at dealing with people, and their character is even more upright.

He's not the kind of weakling who relies on his father-in-law to make a living, nor is he the kind of rude person who beats his wife.

It can be said that while giving guidance to a few people, he was also secretly observing whether any of them might be his son-in-law.

Not counting the fact that Fang Zhiqiang and Fang Zhiwu got married, to be honest, he had considered both Fang Zhiwen and Fang Zhixin.

Fang Zhiyuan and Fang Zhigang were younger. As for Fang Zhiyuan, he always thought that Jiayin was his child bride, so he didn't take it into consideration.

Although Fang Zhiyuan is the tallest among them, his knowledge is as good as Fang Zhiwen's.

But he felt that his daughter was still far behind compared to the little girl Jiayin. He had seen her several times in the village, and her temperament and appearance were definitely not something that ordinary people could raise.

He had also heard about Jiayin's life experience, so he thought that it might be the forgotten pearl of some big family, and it might become Fang Zhiyuan's help in the future.

Fang Zhigang was more reckless, and he was not at ease when he handed his daughter over to him.

Now I can see that my vision is quite accurate. No, my son-in-law really comes from these two people.

Although in terms of knowledge and conduct, Fang Zhiwen is more tactful and transparent.

But it was precisely because of this smoothness and transparency that he was even more hesitant to marry his daughter to him.

With such a character, her future as an official would be limitless, but as his wife, it would not be so easy.
