"You are not in a hurry, but Xuan Lang is."
"Who's anxious? I just mentioned it casually. My family has already started to make arrangements. Unlike you, you're already sixty years old and still don't have anyone to marry."
"If I want to get married, I would like to marry any woman." Wu Jin said with great confidence.
At this moment, Xia, who was busy preparing the dishes, noticed that it had started to drizzle. She hurried out of the kitchen to collect the clothes. Seeing that her younger brother and sister-in-law were already collecting the clothes, she smiled and said, "Ah Heng, you came here without even saying a word."
"Let's collect the clothes first." Seeing Mei'er coming out of the kitchen, Shen Heng handed the clothes to her.
Hearing the noise outside, Wu Jin, Meng Xuanlang and Xie Jian came out of the study.
"Sister-in-law." Meng Xuanlang was as cheerful as ever.
"Greetings, gentlemen." Chen Heng greeted them, sounding so familiar and casual. "It's been a long time since we last met. You two have become more handsome than ever." He had also grown taller, probably around 173cm tall now. However, people from Wujin were fat, and fat people looked much shorter.
Wu Jin and Meng Xuanlang smiled at each other.
Xie Jian glanced at Deyi and the other two. He has always been handsome, so why did Ah Heng never say anything?
In the past, when guests came to dine, it was Xia who took care of everything. Now that Mei'er is here, after the eldest sister-in-law finishes cooking all the dishes, she can sit down and have some fruit wine with them, and Mei'er will take care of the rest.
Watching the table full of people happily chatting, Mei'er tidied the stove with a sullen expression. She thought of her sister-in-law's words about never treating her like a servant, so what was this all about now? She said one thing, then did another.
The Xie family, like her, were commoners. They had only produced a successful candidate in the imperial examination, and three months' salary for a month? If she didn't have other monthly payments, who would be willing to serve such a stingy family?
After dinner, the three of them went to the study and talked about taking the imperial examination in March.
Chen Heng took some early oranges bought by her eldest sister-in-law into the study. When she put them down, she pretended to be curious and asked, "Young Master Meng, you wrote to Ajian earlier, saying that your future wife is from Yuezhou. You are so lucky! We went to Yuezhou when we came to the imperial capital. The girls there are all very beautiful."
Meng Xuanlang looked embarrassed.
Chen Heng recounted a few more interesting things Meng Xuanlang had written in the letter, and after a few detours, she got to the point: "You also wrote in the letter that you met someone who looked like Ajian."
"Yes." Meng Xuanlang continued, "It's the son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion, named Tang Ziyi. He looks very similar to Ajian in his eyes and eyebrows. By the way, aren't we going to the Prince Qing's Mansion to play Cuju in a few days? He should be there then."
Xie Jian was just wondering why Ah Heng kept talking about the letter, but now he understood a little better and just said, "There are many people who look alike in this world."
"That's true. But speaking of Cuju," Meng Xuanlang chuckled and said to Wu Jin, "It's actually for the daughter of the Prince Qing's family to choose a future husband. Many ladies and gentlemen from prominent families will be there."
“你这笑得欠揍。我一商人之子，这样㱕贵族岂会看得上我，就算看上我了，我也不娶，我娶㱕娘子是能跟我一起吃苦㱕。”武晋䦤，像他母亲就是，父亲下田，母亲就㱗边上给父亲端茶擦汗，不惧日晒，父亲㱗村子里㱕桂嵟树下酿酒，母亲就一起搬去泥屋里住着，不惧辛苦。
Suffer together? Chen Heng smiled. Hearing these four words, the girls would probably run away.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Meng Xuanlang say, "The girls in the capital are unwilling to suffer with you. They all want a life of luxury." Then he turned to Xie Jian and said, "Ajian, I will come to pick you and your sister-in-law up when the time comes."
