Chapter 245 Agreeing to the Marriage Proposal



"Brother Huaijing, have you ever eaten boiled pork? It's so spicy, you can't handle it."

Grandma said that spicy food causes internal heat.

If you take this, you'll also need to take medicine. Do you like taking medicine? What does it taste like?

Wang Huaijing...

Sitting next to Zhao Qingyang, Zhao Qingyang patted his younger brother on the head.

"Shut up! It's already pitiful enough that Huaijing can't eat spicy food, why are you making things worse for him?"

Zhao Qingbei was very dissatisfied.

“How am I making things difficult for him? Look how pitiful Huaijing is. He can’t even eat such delicious food. I have to help him eat more.”

So little Zhao Qingbei started waving her chopsticks even more enthusiastically.

Wang Huaijing felt like he had suffered 10,000 points of damage.

Looking up towards the table of women, he longed to see Zhao Qingyi and comfort his wounded heart.

As a result, Zhao Qingyi smiled sweetly and was concentrating on the dishes on the table. Her small mouth was red from the spiciness of the chili peppers, making her look very tempting.

Wang Huaijing sensed something was wrong and quickly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and put it over his nose.

And just like that, the nosebleed that was about to flow out was blocked inside the nasal cavity.

Fortunately, the blood clotting function was good, and soon, because the nose was blocked, the newly ruptured capillaries in the nasal cavity stopped bleeding.

Wang Huaijing ate quickly.

She stood up abruptly, said goodbye to everyone, and quickly went back to her room to wash her nose.

"This is so embarrassing, how could they do this?"

Wang Huaijing was so ashamed and indignant that he wanted to pound the bed.

After Wang Huaijing left the main hall, all the people who had come to Zhao Jiacheng for the wedding laughed.

She just smiled rather restrainedly, afraid that Wang Huaijing would hear her.

Tian Xiaolan said,

"That's why they say men should marry when they're old enough and women should marry when they're old enough; you should do what you're supposed to do at each age."

"Look, if you reach a certain age and don't get married, the constant bleeding can be quite taxing."

Wang Caixia glared at her younger brother and sister-in-law reproachfully, "Eat your food, these are all children."

Okay, those who know, know. Except for little Zhao Qinglian.

Zhao Qingyi didn't understand why Wang Huaijing had nosebleeds before, but she understood after being explained to her by the married women in her family these past few days.

Now, whenever she sees Wang Huaijing, she is reminded of her own foolishness.

I wish I could turn back time. Why did I have to call for help? The whole family knows why Wang Huaijing had a nosebleed.

In the past, Wang Huaijing's happiest moments at the Zhao family's house were during meals, when he could occasionally catch a glimpse of the girl he liked and enjoy the Zhao family's delicacies.

For him now, the most painful moment is eating.

I want to see him even when I can't, and when I do see him, I get a nosebleed; it's like a stress response.

Also, eating light and bland food every day, although it tastes good, always feels a bit off and lacks flavor after eating rich and oily food.

The Zhao family knew everything about Wang Huaijing's condition. That day, after teaching arithmetic at the clan school, Zhao Qingyi returned to Qingshan Xiaozhu.

They happened to run into Wang Huaijingzi, who was resting in the pavilion in the courtyard.

"Huai Jing".

"Young lady."

"Um..." Wang Huaijing only managed to say two words before instinctively reaching for his handkerchief to cover his nose.

Zhao Qingyi couldn't take it anymore and grabbed Wang Huaijing's hand as he took out his handkerchief.

"What's wrong with you? You get nosebleeds whenever you see me."

"If this becomes a habit, it'll be troublesome. Do you plan to have nosebleeds every day after you marry me?"

Wang Huaijing felt his arm being held was burning hot, the heat seemed to penetrate the fabric and directly scorch the skin on his arm.

It felt so amazing that his face quickly turned red, spreading from his cheeks to his neck and then his entire body.

"Big, big, big girl, what did you say?"

Zhao Qingyi laughed, "What did I say? I said when are you coming to propose marriage?"

Wang Huaijing's eyes widened in surprise, followed by delight.

"Young lady, is what you're saying true? You've accepted my marriage proposal?"

Zhao Qingyi said, "No."

Wang Huaijing...

"Pfft. You idiot, you haven't even sent a matchmaker to propose marriage yet, how can I agree?"

In a short period of time, Wang Huaijing felt as if he had experienced both extremes of heat and cold.

After confirming Zhao Qingyan's feelings, Wang Huaijing was radiant and extremely excited.

Due to the difference between men and women, after confirming the time with Zhao Qingyi for the marriage proposal, he quickly went to teach the men of the Zhao family.

In his excitement, Wang Huaijing spoke fluently and smoothly about his experiences.

"Grandpa, uncles, brothers, and younger brothers, that's all for today's lesson."

The above are all problems that Huaijing has encountered during his scientific expeditions over the years, and the problem-solving techniques he has summarized.

Hopefully this will be helpful to everyone during scientific expeditions.

Later, Huaijing went home first.

Huaijing has already obtained the eldest daughter's permission, and today he will ask my father to bring the matchmaker to our house to propose marriage.

"We'll be family from now on, Huaijing is overjoyed..."

Zhao Changgeng: "I'm so angry, my daughter is going to be taken advantage of by a pig."

Everyone said, "Our family is having a happy occasion. Such a fine young man must be married into our family; otherwise, it would be a loss."

Wang Huaijing was so anxious that he didn't even want to eat lunch and rushed home. How could this be allowed?

Even if I skip the meal, I still have to bring a gift.

A basket of fruits and vegetables, this is for Wang Guangzong; two geese, a basket of salted eggs...

Finally, in the carriage where Wang Huaijing returned, there was only a small space left for him to sit.

Lu Feng drove the carriage and dutifully escorted Wang Huaijing back.

When the Zhao family learned that Wang Huaijing would come to propose marriage the next day, they quickly began preparations.

As for the menu, I must cook a decent feast tomorrow.

The clan elders and patriarchs must be present.

Soon, the news spread throughout Zhao Family Village that Zhao Qingyi was getting engaged, and to a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations.

I had previously thought about introducing my nephews and nieces to Zhao Qingyi's villagers, but now that I think about it, I feel like I was just daydreaming.

How dare you have the nerve to make a move on Zhao Qingyi? She's the kind of woman who could marry a scholar.

Thinking about it further, the reason why the Zhao family's daughter was able to marry a scholar was because the Zhao family produced scholars, including a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examinations).

Having figured things out, Zhao Family Village began to place even greater emphasis on their children's education.

Especially those families who had previously been forced to send their daughters to school due to pressure from the village chief, have now completely changed their attitude and are incredibly supportive.

Their thinking was simple: if boys studied, they could take the imperial examinations or find a way to make a living, and girls could marry into good families.

If the son-in-law is capable, he can naturally promote his wife's younger and older brothers. The family benefits as well; what a wonderful thing!

The women who used to constantly complain about their daughters being a "money-losing" daughter suddenly started calling her by her own name.

"Chunhua, wake up, Mom has made breakfast..."

Chunhua: Did the sun rise in the west today?
