This is an ancient setting, double male lead novel with a fictional backdrop, 1V1, and both protagonists are pure.
Due to a brawl between two villages, Shen Zhen accidentally met a young scho...
A-mo Qian first arranged for the wedding procession to place Shen Chen's dowry in the yard, and then when the auspicious time arrived, she arranged for He Jinshu and Shen Chen to jump over the fire basin, pay homage to their parents, and then the couple bowed to each other, and finally they were sent to the bridal chamber.
However, according to Chen Zhen's personality, he just went through the process, entered the bridal chamber, and then came out.
After that, he prepared to toast everyone with John Hoffman.
When Grandma He saw him come out, she quickly advised, "Brother Zhen, toasting is a man's job, so don't get involved."
"It's okay, grandma. It would be better if these two people toasted together when they got married." Chen Chen said to Grandma He with a smile.
Grandma He was confused for a moment after hearing this. Is this really the case? She had never heard of such a theory before. However, she now understood Chen Zhen's temper, so she stopped trying to persuade him.
The two of them first went to the table of private school students, and several students congratulated them with a smile.
After finishing a glass of wine, one of the students jokingly said, "Brother He is so lucky to have married such a wealthy husband. Will he soon leave the private school and go to the academy?"
After this was said, the table fell silent for a moment. Li Yu, seeing He Jinshu's increasingly gloomy expression, quickly tried to smooth things over and said with a smile, "Brother Liu, what are you talking about? Today is Brother He's big day, why are you bringing up these fabricated things?"
When Liu Yueda heard this, he quickly pretended to slap his mouth with his hand, then apologized with a smile, "I was just shocked by the dowry filling the yard, and I said something nonsense for a moment. I hope Brother He doesn't mind. Congratulations to you and your husband on your happy marriage."
As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine and raised it to toast John He.
He Jinshu's hand tightly gripped the wine glass without moving. Although Chen Zhen didn't understand the twists and turns in Liu Yueda's words, his intuition told him that this man was not a good person, so he said directly: "We won't drink your glass of wine. Even if we don't drink your glass of wine, Ah Shu and I can still have a happy marriage."
After saying that, he ignored Liu Yueda's instantly frozen expression and said to the other people at the table, "Enjoy your meal, and if you need anything, just tell me and Ah Shu."
Afterwards, he took He Jinshu to several other tables to toast.
In the incident that just happened, except for the people from Shenjia Village who came to send off the bride and were dissatisfied with the words of the student, everyone else had different thoughts.
Chen Chen didn't care what these people were thinking. He just toasted He Jinshu and then returned to the main table in the main hall.
Several people in the house heard the noise outside, but no one mentioned it. They just smiled and gave their blessings to the newlyweds.
After a fairly lively banquet and seeing everyone off, Chen Chen and Grandma He began to sort out the dowry in the yard.
On the way back, Li Yu sat in the carriage and said to Liu Yueda with some dissatisfaction, "Senior Brother Liu was too reckless today. How embarrassed is Senior Brother He by saying that at the banquet?"
Besides, although Senior Brother He is usually a little cold to others, everyone has been eating a lot of food brought by Brother Chen in recent times. It is neither moral nor logical for Senior Brother Liu to speak like that.
Liu Yueda didn't take it seriously and just said indifferently, "Is there anything wrong with what I said? I originally thought Brother He was a man of high moral character, but I didn't expect that he would eventually be defeated by money.
Didn't you see Mr. Shen's dowry? 24 loads of dowry, and it was in an extra-large box. Even the wealthy families in town, I've never seen such a large dowry.
And look at the return gift. It was fruit wine from Mo Yue Xuan, the largest restaurant in town. Each bottle cost one or two taels of silver, but they gave two bottles as a return gift. This doesn't include the cakes from Pin Ming Fang, and the chef who cooked the food was also from Mo Yue Xuan.
You have all seen today's dishes. If this table of food were placed in a restaurant, it would definitely cost dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver.
"Brother He, this isn't marrying a husband, this is marrying a mountain of silver. His husband's family is so rich, do you think he will still study in our private school?"
Private schools in Dongliguo would be more desirable unless the teachers were famous. Otherwise, generally wealthy families would choose to study in academies. After all, the resources and connections in academies would be more extensive, and the probability of passing the examination to become a scholar or juren would be greater.
Generally speaking, private schools are the first choice for less wealthy families, because the tuition fees of private schools are not as expensive as those of academies, and of course the chance of passing the examination to become a scholar is not as high as that of academies.
Among the students who studied with He Jinshu, except for Li Yu's family which was relatively wealthy, the other students had average family backgrounds. There were a few who failed to pass the examination and their family backgrounds were even more difficult than He Jinshu's. Liu Yueda was one of them.
Liu Yueda originally thought that Chen Zhen was an ordinary farmer in the village, just good-looking and cooking was delicious, but he didn't expect that Chen Zhen's family was so rich, so he suddenly became jealous and couldn't help but say a few sour words to He Jinshu.
He was not only jealous of Chen Zhen's wealth, but also jealous of He Jinshu's luck. Why was there no rich boy or girl who was so shameless as to fall in love with him?
This way he wouldn't have to study hard every day and also take time out to copy books for money.
The other people were silent for a moment after hearing what Liu Yueda said. They originally thought that the young man just had some family background, but they didn't expect that he was so rich.
No one does not envy He Jinshu's luck. After marrying such a boy, she will not have to worry about the cost of the imperial examination in the future. She just needs to study with peace of mind and can also spend time with her husband.
But they were not as irrational as Liu Yueda, who said it directly to his face. At most, they were just envious in their hearts.
After listening to what Liu Yueda said, Li Yu felt that what he said was true, but he did not agree with his approach. After all, the matter between Brother He and Brother Shen was their own business, and it was not the turn of outsiders like them to interfere, and they did not need their sour words.
If you want it too, you can go find a rich boy. Why bother saying those nasty things to Senior Brother He at the banquet?
However, he felt that there was no point in arguing with this person, so he simply stopped talking. To put it bluntly, this person was just jealous, jealous that the person who married Brother Shen was not himself.
After Chen Chen and Grandma He had sorted out their things, they moved everything to He Jinshu's study.
There are only five rooms in the He family's house, two for living, one for the kitchen, one for storage, and one for He Jinshu's study.
The utility room was used to store food and other things, and there was not much empty space. Only He Jinshu's study was relatively spacious, so all the things were placed there.
After tidying up, Chen Zhen returned to his room.
In the room, He Jinshu sat by the bed with a serious look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking about.
