403 Er Qiang wants to leave

Time was running out, so the banquet for the top three was scheduled for the day after Wan Qing’s wedding.

As for Sanqiang's studies, the He family still wants him to go with Mei Niang.

He Zishan worked as an accountant at Baicaotang in the county town. He was doing very well at his job and could take care of his family, so he was reluctant to accompany Sanqiang to the provincial capital to find work.

Xinghua is already twelve years old, which is considered a big girl in the countryside. Her brother Sanqiang passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. As soon as the news came out, many families came to propose marriage to her, and most of them were from well-off families, such as shop owners in the town or small landlords in the village.

All these need to be considered by He Zishan and his wife, not to mention that Ning gave birth to another son, Siqiang, last year.

The top three can only entrust the task to Wan Changsheng and his wife again.

Erqiang's sister Taohuading became an apprentice at Baicaotang. Her family lived in the county town and had a simple family structure. The He family was very satisfied and the two families agreed to get married in October.

In this case, Mei Niang and her family can't come.

Mei Niang gave Taohua the silver bracelet on her hand and gave her ten taels of silver as an extra dowry.

Ping An also gave a red envelope of ten taels, and took two pieces of fine cotton cloth that were originally intended for gifts, as a token of his own appreciation that would not exceed the gift from his parents.

Taohua was naturally overjoyed. With the twenty taels of dowry, she also received a silver bracelet and two pieces of fine cotton cloth. Her family also had to pay a lot of compensation. This kind of dowry was the largest in the village.

Erqiang also gave his sister some pearl flowers and other things he brought from the capital, and gave her five taels of silver.

But these past two days, Erqiang has been so annoying.

There were matchmakers coming in and out all the time, and besides Sanqiang, he was the only one. He told his parents that Ping'an had already found a fiancée for himself, who was very beautiful and capable, and like him, she was not a slave. In the future, the child would still study hard and become the top scholar.

But others don't care, as long as you are not married, they will not let you go. The He family is living such a good life in Hejia Village now, which is the best in the surrounding area.

He Zishu and his wife went up the mountain to collect herbs, He Zishan went to the medical clinic to work as an accountant, Daqiangzi was a doctor, Erqiang followed Ping'an and lived a life of luxury. It was said that they brought back a lot of money over the years, and Sanqiang even passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at a young age.

My daughter Mei Niang is still close to her parents' home. She is confident that she has given birth to such a good son.

How could a family like this not give rise to a fierce competition among families with daughters?

After drinking at Wan Qing's house, Ping An sent his parents to his grandfather's house and prepared to return to the inn. Doctor Sun and his uncle had already been sent away by Xiao Wu, and they would come to the Sanqiang family for dinner tomorrow.

The aunt stopped him and said, "Ping An, stay for a moment. We want to ask you something."

Ping An saw Er Qiang making eyes behind his aunt's back.

"Aunt, what's the matter?"

"Ping An, my aunt wants to ask you, Er Qiang said you helped him find a wife, is that true?"

Ping An looked at Er Qiang. He realized that he didn't find this guy, but he chose him himself.

"Aunt, I was going to tell you about this, but I forgot about it because I was so busy these days." Ping An smiled, "The girl's name is Leng Yue, she's a year younger than my cousin Er Qiang, she's a good girl, she's been in my master's medicine shop since she was a child, she knows some martial arts and medicine, if you agree, the two of them are a good match."

He curled his lips and said, "Of course, if you want to find another match for cousin Erqiang, it's not impossible. After all, the two of them are not engaged yet."

"Ping'an, what do you mean?" Erqiang rushed out from behind, looking aggrieved and nervous. He knew that Leng Yue and several female doctors were going to be assigned to Ping'an's subordinates, and he had many bachelors under his command.

Ping An had a serious look on his face. He liked teasing this strong guy and he always succeeded in teasing him.

“That’s how it is.”

"Ping An, you can't do this. I am your dear cousin. I must have Leng Yue. Have you forgotten? You are not allowed to have any random people around you."

Ping An said in embarrassment: "Although you have been engaged to me for twenty years and no one else can let you go, if your family finds you another wife and your aunt and uncle want to see you all the time, I can let you go home early."

Erqiang was shocked, but Pingan looked so serious, it couldn't be more serious.

Even the aunt was stunned. She just wanted to ask about Leng Yue, but it was really Ping An who arranged the marriage for Erqiang. If the person was like that, she still wanted to find someone who knew Erqiang well near her home.

But there was no plan to let Erqiang come back. Of course it would be good for him to come back. The family is wealthy now. Erqiang alone has brought home several hundred taels of silver over the years. Life is very good, but that brat won't do it.

Erqiang walked over and put his arm around Ping'an's shoulders: "Mom, it's getting dark. Ping'an and I will go back to the inn together. We will pick up Doctor Sun and Uncle Ping'an for dinner tomorrow."

After saying this, without waiting for Ping An to say goodbye, he half pushed and half carried him to the car.

"Ping An, I am the first person to follow you. Do you have the heart to send me home now?"

Ping An suppressed the corners of his lips that were raised: "Am I the one who is rushing you? I see your family really wants to find you a match, especially someone who knows you well. I can't have such a person around me, so I can only let you go home?"

Erqiang said loudly, "They won't do that. I've already told them that I will find a wife myself in the future, or you will find one for me. I will never leave you in this life. Ping'an, you don't have any feelings for me at all, right?"

Erqiang suddenly felt aggrieved.

Ping An laughed, "Look at you. You took my kindness for granted. Have I been good to you? I try to take you with me when I go out. Just tell me, who has received the most red envelopes from following me over the years?"

That's true.

Erqiang became happy again, thinking that Pingding was just teasing him.

He is so kind and considerate, how could Ping An bear to leave him?

If Ping An goes out with only two people, one of them is basically him. Those wealthy families are very generous in giving red envelopes.

"Ping An, you don't know, I've been suffering a lot at home these past few days. Many young girls and relatives from the village came to block my way. There were also two times when people bumped into me. If it weren't for my good kung fu, I might have been blackmailed. San Qiang didn't go out at all these days.

I never thought that country girls are so brave nowadays. Fortunately, I will go to the county town with you tomorrow evening. I never thought that I, Erqiang, would become so popular one day. I will tell Lengyue about it later."

Ping An smiled and looked at him: "Don't say it, Er Qiang, think about it carefully, you are now a handsome and heroic man, and the He family is well-off in the village, so it is natural that you will be snatched away."

Er Qiang touched his face and made a pose that he thought was handsome: "Really? Am I really handsome?"

Ping An laughed out loud and felt relieved immediately.

A smile makes you ten years younger. This old saying is not without basis.

Erqiang also started to grin foolishly, which looked funny.

Lin Feng and Tong Lin in front also laughed. The young master just liked to tease Erqiang. This kid was not good at teasing, and he would always make him laugh.
