"But you and Uncle Shanshui decided on it right away!"
Cheng Jinyan pouted.
"How old are we? How old are you? We've known each other since we were young. That's called childhood sweethearts, right? How can we compare?"
Cheng Yue slapped Cheng Jinyan in annoyance. She was so shameless that she would let the title of childhood sweetheart be taken away by her.
Anyway, no one knows that she is not the former Cheng Pangya.
Cheng Jinyan scratched his head and said nothing.
"Jinyan, your most important thing now is to study hard and strive to pass the imperial examination next spring and get your name on the list of successful candidates in the fall. Second is thinking about girls. A man in this world cannot just have a good appearance. You said you can't farm, you can't follow me into business, and you can't enter the government like your second uncle and Jinxing. You only know how to study. If you only know how to study, then you must study well. When you get your name on the list of successful candidates, you can ask Mingzhu to marry you. If she likes you, she will definitely not refuse."
Cheng Yue said earnestly.
This is the only way. If this silly boy tells his sister-in-law about proposing marriage, her sister-in-law will be worried for a long time.
Anyway, the current situation is that the whole family doesn't want anyone or anything to disturb Cheng Jinyan's studies.
As for Mingzhu, Cheng Yue couldn't tell whether she had any such intention towards Jinyan, but she could encourage Jinyan to confess his feelings again after he passed the imperial examination. If Mingzhu still refused at that time, it might mean that she really didn't have that intention anymore.
This is something that both of you are willing to do, and it cannot be forced.
Fortunately, Cheng Jinyan is a positive and optimistic child. After hearing Cheng Yue's words, he was full of fighting spirit and clenched his fists and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I will study hard and strive to pass the imperial examination next year! I will also treat Mingzhu well and try to make Mingzhu agree to me when I propose again next year!"
"Well, be good! Go to bed! You're still young, and you'll grow taller if you get more sleep. Look at that brat Jinxing, he grew so tall just because he ate and slept all day long. You just studied too late, which delayed your growth!"
"Yeah?"
Cheng Jinyan was stunned and asked in surprise.
"Really? Why would I lie to you? Look at your father, your second uncle, and your aunt. All three of us siblings eat and sleep well. We're considered tall among our peers in the village, right? Look at that Feng Xiucai in the village. He didn't sleep well during his studies, so he's not tall."
"I've been setting up a stall in the city recently, and I heard people from the west say that they're all tall over there because they drink cow's and goat's milk. When I have time, I'll get you a cow or sheep that has given birth. If you get enough sleep and eat well, you'll definitely grow taller."
Cheng Yue patted Cheng Jinyan's shoulder and said.
Cheng Jinyan is only seventeen years old. Logically speaking, he can still grow taller. Regardless of whether he grows taller or not, he has to give it a try first.
"Okay, Auntie. Thank you, Auntie, you're the best! I'm going to bed now. I'll listen to you from now on. Auntie, go to bed early too!"
Cheng Jinyan was very happy.
After the aunt and niece finished talking, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
The Cheng family members are really generous. No matter how big the difficulties are, they will never get stuck in a dead end.
Cheng Shun was deceived by his elder brother and he lived well.
Jiang married a fake landlord and lived a good life.
Gu Xuelan married a fool and lived a good life.
