    Yuan Huiqing is about thirty years old, and she has a daughter named Lu Xiaoman at home.  When Yang's mother was still alive, she had a close relationship with Yuan Huiqing.  Yuan Huiqing had been to the Yang family several times and was very happy when she saw Yang Shaowen. She half-jokingly said that she wanted to have a son and a daughter, and Yang's mother verbally agreed on the spot.  Later, the Yang family suffered a series of changes, and the marriage was delayed.  Yang Shaowen was curious and looked through the information about his "fianc¨¦e" in his mind, but he didn't get much.  Even the appearance of this girl is a vague outline in my mind.  He deduced that the two of them had never met before.  Yang Yuhua took out a ledger and explained: "Over the past year or so, our family has received many gifts from neighbors, and I have recorded them all in the book. In the future, if our family has a glorious day, all of this will be done  "Yang Shaowen flipped through the account books and found that some had given eggs, some had given rice, some had given old clothes, and some had even given bran.  He praised: "The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water. Yuhua, you have done a good job." "Yes. Among them, Brother Huzi and Grandma Yuan have given the most!" Yang Yuhua glanced at Yang Shaowen and smiled.  Added: "Grandma Yuan is very concerned about your son-in-law. She came all the way from Lamma Town to see you these days when you were in bed. Now that you are well, Yu Li should go and check up on her."  Peace!" Yang Shaowen nodded and agreed. He also wanted to see the so-called "fianc¨¦e" and try to get rid of the marriage.  He knew that people in ancient times got married earlier, and his "fianc¨¦e" was probably as old as Cai Yuhua, but in his eyes she was just a junior high school student.  Yang Shaowen's mental age is already thirty, and he really doesn't have the special hobbies of a little girl who likes fourteen-year-old girls.  Just as she was about to go out to Lamma Town, Grandma Yuan came over on her own.  "Aunt Qing!" Yang Shaowen felt that he was about the same age as her and was too embarrassed to call her Grandma Yuan like others, so he compromised by calling her aunt.  Yuan Huiqing was wearing a purple Suzhou embroidered robe, her hair was pulled back into a bun with a tassel hairpin inserted in the middle, and her face was lightly powdered.  Compared with ordinary people, they have a sense of wealth and nobility.  Yang Shaowen occasionally heard Yang's mother mention that Yuan Huiqing was in the loan business in Lamma Town and her family was relatively well-off.  When she saw Yang Shaowen standing at the door, Yuan Huiqing's face was filled with joy: "I heard from Liu Hu who was working in the town that you had woken up. I planned to come over today and take a look. Well, in my opinion,  You look good now!" "Aunt Xie Qing is concerned!" "I am an old friend of your mother, and I should help take care of her child." She then said seriously: "Shao Wen, if you have any difficulties in the future,  Remember to ask your aunt for help. But don¡¯t do anything stupid like last time. I don¡¯t know how sad your mother will be watching from the sky!¡± ¡°I know, I won¡¯t do this again!¡±  Inside the house, some pleasantries were exchanged.  Yang Shaowen mentioned his marriage to Yuan Huiqing: "Aunt Qing, did you hear that I have a marriage contract with Xiaoman?" Yuan Huiqing replied cheerfully: "Yes, that's why I came here. I guess, you  Now that you have recovered and your parents¡¯ filial piety period has passed, it¡¯s time to choose a good and auspicious day to get married to you two!¡± ¡°Well, Aunt Qing, I mean to cancel my engagement with Xiaoman!¡±  Come on!" "Sold! Why?" Yuan Huiqing was shocked.  "Aunt Qing, you've seen it too. My family is now in ruins, and it's hard to even support myself. If Xiaoman marries me, I'm afraid she will suffer a lot. Besides, my mother and Aunt Qing only said this verbally at the beginning.  Don't be too serious, others won't gossip!" "Nonsense!" Yuan Huiqing glared, obviously very angry at Yang Shaowen: "Although your mother and I are from a womanly family, we are still talking about each other.  How could he go back on his word? " Yang Shaowen didn't expect that Yuan Huiqing was very loyal and valued his rather useless son-in-law.  His original good intentions turned out to be a bit embarrassing.  But if he agreed, it would be really ridiculous for him to marry a junior high school student.  "Shao Wen, don't worry too much. Your Aunt Qing still has some wealth and won't let you and Xiaoman go hungry!" Seeing that Yang Shaowen still had doubts, Yuan Huiqing couldn't help but become suspicious: "Is that because you are in trouble?  Xiaoman hasn¡¯t come to see you for a while, you blame her. This girl is too shy to come over, so don¡¯t think too much about it!¡± The fact is that Lu Xiaoman has some objections to the marriage she arranged.  .  I heard that Yang Shaowen jumped into the river some time ago, and I even looked down upon him.  However, Yuan Huiqing did not take Lu Xiaoman's rebellion too seriously. Of course, the parents make the final decision on their children's marriage. When she gets married, she will know that I am doing it for her.  Yang Shaowen quickly waved his hand to deny: "No, no. I don't blame Xiaoman!" Seeing Yuan Huiqing's very firm attitude,So I will put this issue aside for the time being to prevent everyone from talking about it.  Yang Shaowen knew that Yuan Huiqing was well-known in the local area, so he asked her about the situation of various local industries in Wujin County.  "Why, why is Shao Wen suddenly interested in these secular affairs?" Yang Yuhua came up and handed Yuan Huiqing a bowl of boiling water, and then said angrily: "My brother, I don't know what is wrong. I don't want to study anymore.  He only thinks about going out to make money. " Yuan Huiqing is old and sophisticated, and can somewhat understand Yang Shaowen's eagerness to make money to support his family.  She also supported this. If he could make a living to support his family, he might not have so many doubts about his engagement with Xiaoman.  But it would be a pity to give up the imperial examination.  She was attracted to Yang Shaowen because he read a lot of books.  She herself doesn't have much education, but she respects knowledgeable people.  Her own husband is a local scholar, and she also hopes that her daughter will marry a learned man.  At that moment, he also persuaded Yang Yuhua.  Yang Shaowen didn¡¯t want to talk more about this issue, so he still asked about any ways to make money in the county.  Yuan Huiqing herself does some loan business, and is very familiar with these methods: "As for local livelihoods, the biggest ones are sericulture and weaving. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can still support a family!" Yang Shaowen shook his head.  .  He had little research on textiles, not to mention that in his mind, textiles were a job for housewives, and he was subconsciously opposed to this profession.  Seeing him shaking his head, Yuan Huiqing was not surprised.  Spinning and weaving is more suitable for women. After all, men lack some patience and carefulness.  "Other than that, I am a sharecropper and help others farm the land!" Yuan Huiqing rejected this one herself: "You are weak, so you can't do this job!"
