After the results were announced, Jiang Cheng could see that many more families were looking at each other recently. Many businessmen wanted to marry their daughters to a juren, so that they could combine officials and businessmen and move their families to a higher level in the future!
Not only in the town, there are many poor scholars from the village whose doors are broken down because of their high school education.
Chen Mei has been having a great time these days. Every day when she goes out, someone greets her politely, which makes Chen Mei walk with her back straight every time she goes out!
Everyone in Taohua Village knew that Jiang Caiyun from the Jiang family was going to marry a successful scholar. Someone had seen Liu Fan visiting the Jiang family from time to time, so everyone was polite to the Jiang family. Even the village chief of Taohua Village came to congratulate the Jiang family.
Chen Mei and Jiang Maocai entertained the visitors in the yard. Everyone wanted to make friends with the Jiang family first so that they could come to them if they had any business in the future!
Chen Mei entertained the guests with great pride, while Jiang Caiyun was embroidering her dowry in the house with great anticipation.
Chen Mei waited for several days but didn't see Liu Fan coming to propose marriage, and she couldn't help feeling anxious!
Didn't we agree that as soon as Liu Fan passed the imperial examination, he would come and propose marriage? Why hasn't he come yet?!
Chen Mei appeared to be polite in entertaining people, but she was extremely anxious in her heart!
In the evening, after seeing the people off, Chen Mei sat in the room and asked worriedly, "Why hasn't he come to propose marriage yet? Didn't we already agree on this?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Maybe Liu Fan wants to make more preparations before coming here! You have to wait until he is ready before coming." Jiang Maocai was quite calm. He drank a sip of tea and said calmly.
"It's so easy for you to say! Alas!" Chen Mei hoped that Jiang Maocai thought the same thing, otherwise how could her family survive in the village!
Jiang Caiyun listened to the noise outside through the door. She couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand, bit her lip, and sat back in front of the dressing table.
Fanlang, if you betray me...
Just as Shen Mei was filled with worry, Jiang Cheng was beside Fang Xi, feeling the movements of the fetus in his belly.
Jiang Cheng placed his hand on Fang Xi's belly, "She's due in two months!"
"You are more anxious than me!" Fang Xi teased as he looked at Jiang Cheng with an expectant expression.
"I haven't even seen a newborn baby yet!" Jiang Cheng sat up straight and said seriously.
"Then I'll let you see enough of the baby when I give birth!" Fang Xi picked up a piece of dessert and started eating.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
At Fang Xi's signal, Jiang Cheng picked up a piece of dessert and tasted it.
Jiang Cheng sat for a while, and then Song Tingzhi came to knock on the door of Fang Xi's shop. When Jiang Cheng heard the noise, he went back with Song Tingzhi.
"You seem to like being with Fang Xi now." Song Tingzhi said sourly.
"What? What do you think?" Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and twisted Song Tingzhi's waist, deliberately saying, "We've sold out of tofu in the shop. You can sleep with me for a while before heading to the mountains. I'm home alone, and Xiao Hui is staying at Xiao Yu's place, so I can only go talk to Xiao Xi."
As Jiang Cheng spoke, he felt that he was quite aggrieved. He was alone in the shop with no one he knew around him. Apart from embroidering clothes at home and looking for Fang Xi, there was nothing else he could do!
"Okay, okay, you're about to drop your beads while you're talking. If you like, go find Fang Xi. I'll stay at home with you more recently! Don't be sad!"
Seeing that Jiang Cheng's expression was not right, Song Tingzhi suddenly remembered what Fang Kun had said to him before. He immediately came up with a response strategy and comforted Jiang Cheng.
"That's more like it!" Jiang Cheng glared at Song Tingzhi coquettishly and walked into the shop.
Song Tingzhi brought the food he had prepared to the table, and took out the fruit juice he had specially cooked for Jiang Cheng to taste.
Jiang Cheng drank a few sips of fruit juice and felt much better in his stomach. Then he started to eat little by little.
The next day, the Jiang family————
Chen Mei tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. She got up and went out as soon as it was light.
"Why are you up so early?" Jiang Maocai didn't sleep well at night. He was woken up by Chen Mei's noise just as he fell asleep. He asked impatiently.
"I'm just worried! I have to go to the town to take a look today!" Chen Mei put on her clothes, opened the door and went out in a hurry.
"Stop worrying about nothing!" Jiang Maocai was frightened by the sound of Chen Mei closing the door, and covered his head with the quilt and fell asleep again.
Chen Mei washed up and followed the ox cart from the village to the town without even having time to eat breakfast.
As soon as Chen Mei arrived in town and paid the fare, she went straight to Liu Fan's residence.
Fortunately, Chen Mei had come to the town to deliver something to Liu Fan once, and she still remembered how to get there. Chen Mei stopped and pushed past the people blocking the way, and soon arrived at Liu Fan's door.
“Dongdongdong——”
Shen Mei calmed herself down, straightened her clothes, and then knocked on the door while breathing slightly.
Seeing that it didn’t work once, Chen Mei knocked again.
After waiting for a long time, Shen Mei finally heard some movement coming from inside.
"Who is it? So early in the morning——" A clear female voice reached Chen Mei's ears.
When the door opened, I found a pretty girl.
"Where is Liu Fan?" Chen Mei thought that Liu Fan was cheating on her daughter and asked loudly.
"What Liu Fan? I've never heard of him. Did you find the wrong person?" The girl was frightened by Chen Mei and asked back unhappily.
"What? Isn't this Mr. Liu's home?" Chen Mei's anger disappeared instantly when she heard the girl's reply. She was afraid that she had not explained the situation clearly and had also revealed the fact that Liu Fan had passed the high school entrance examination.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What Mr. Liu? This is my house. It was just rented to an aunt a while ago, and they left a few days ago!" The girl said in a bad tone and closed the door.
Chen Mei stood at the door in a daze, and could vaguely hear the girl's unpleasant words from inside.
Chen Mei looked at the door and the surrounding environment repeatedly. Yes, it was here!
Chen Mei's memory was still very good. She swore that she had not found the wrong place. Could it be that she had been deceived?!
When Chen Mei thought of this, she could hardly stand. She leaned against the wall and thought for a while, then went to the surrounding residents to inquire about the news.
Chen Mei asked around and finally found out Liu Fan's name.
"You mean Liu Dawa? Didn't he marry the county magistrate's daughter? They just got married two days ago!"
An old man narrowed his eyes and told Chen Mei the news he knew.
"What?!!"
Chen Mei couldn't believe it. Seeing her like this, the old man didn't want to pay attention to her and left slowly.
After hearing the news, Shen Mei collapsed on the ground, looking dazed.
After a long time, Chen Mei slowly stood up and walked towards the county government office!
You have to see it with your own eyes!
