Chen Si looked at him puzzled: “You are all the only children, what is there to compare?”

    Zhang Fangyuan kicked him under the table. Chen Si was in pain: “What do you want to compare? You are a butcher, he is a scholar, how doest the words in the book say it, it’s completely different! There is no way to compare.”

    “Then if you are a woman or a ge’er, you want to choose one as a husband, who do you choose?”

    Chen Si looked at Zhang Fangyuan a little confused, and didn’t want to make such assumptions, but because Zhang Fangyuan’s strong and powerful fists were gradually clenched, he still said: “If I am a little ge’er , I’ll choose you.”

    “Why?”

    Chen Si patted Fangyuan’s hard chest, and smiled like a spring breeze: “Look at how strong this body is, how can a pale-skinned scholar compare to it?”

    “Get lost!”

    Zhang Fangyuan stretched out his leg, and Chen Si fell to the ground with a kick.

    The Fei family.

    When Fei Lian arrived home, Fei’s mother had just come back from the field. Seeing her son coming home, she was so happy that she scooped a ladle of water from the water tank in the yard to wash off the mud on her hands: “Mother will cook for you. Make something delicious.”

    “Okay.” Fei Lian went back to his room and put down his book bag, fearing that the academy uniform would get dirty when he returned home, so he also changed his clothes.

    “Master read the article I wrote recently, and said that the progress is not small, and the exam is very promising.”

    After changing his clothes, Fei Lian went to the kitchen, and took the initiative to report to Fei’s mother about the study in the academy. 

    Fei’s mother couldn’t hide the smile on her face, as if the monthly money specially allocated by the imperial court to a talented scholar and the fertile land had already arrived, and the eyes of the villagers had turned red with envy: “My son is promising, the Fei family’s prosperity is expected! It’s not in vain that parents have worked so hard all these years for you to study.”

    Fei Lian pursed his lips, and threw the broken firewood into the stove: “Mother, I’m not young now, and I’ll be weak crown (20 years old) in two years. “ 

“Although the scholars got married late, but…” Fei Lian was embarrassed to finish what he said later: “After the son passes the exam this time, if he can get good grades, I think…”

    Fei’s mother naturally knew her son. Wanting to marry a wife, she said gratifiedly: “My son has grown up. Even if you don’t tell me, mother also has this plan. Now that you have brought it up, mother will simply talk to you.”

    “A while ago, mother went to Xu’s house as a guest, and I had a good talk with Mrs. Xu, and after your exam, we will go to Xu’s house to propose marriage.”
