After hearing what his husband said, Mrs. Zhao read the letter again, nodded and said:

"Okay, let the housekeeper do this tomorrow, and I already have a candidate in my heart. Since the Tang Mansion wants to hire a musical instrument teacher, there are men and women in the mansion, then let the man and woman each invite a gentleman, and it just happens to meet such a couple.

, they should agree.”

Mr. Zhao didn't know for a moment, and the wife was talking about which couple she was talking about, and asked:

"Madam, can you solve the problem?"

When the manager heard the couple's words, he smiled on his sleepy and tired face. He could get things done as soon as possible and he could go back as soon as possible.

And he brought the task and had to ask the gentleman to go back together. If he couldn't do this, he had to wait here. The sooner the better the matter was done.

"Master, have you forgotten my distant relatives? They are just small wealthy families, and their daughters are also nude. They know how to use piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Later, under the pursuit of so many young masters in the capital, they wanted to marry a scholar.

Poor scholar.”

"Madam, I remembered it. At that time, you said that this woman has such good moral character. It's a pity that she didn't marry into our family. Why did she marry a poor scholar? It became a joke."

"It's hard to say about this marriage. The lady fell in love with a poor scholar. This poor scholar has a good appearance. She knows both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's a blessing to marry a rich daughter, but her luck is a little bad in the future. She can't do it.

If you pass the Jinshi or above, you have always been a scholar."

As a woman, Mrs. Zhao can understand a little bit. If you fall in love with someone, you have to marry him. However, this relative likes a poor scholar. He will not let his future life be difficult. How easy is it to rent a house in Kyoto?

It is even more difficult to have a falling out with your family. They choose the road themselves, and they can only bear all the ups and downs.

"The poor scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam felt that even the rich lady could not pass the exam, but could only stay in the capital. The couple could not go back to their parents' home, so they could only rent a house and do some casual work to make a living. He might as well take his wife home with him and take his wife home.

.”

Mr. Zhao believes that a man cannot give his wife a better life, and for example, this scholar cannot give a daughter-in-law a better future, and it is not like a man. This is a weak man, and the daughter-in-law is blind.

"Master, this lady has a quarrel with her family, but she is also thinking about her parents' family and wants to wait for her. One day she will forgive them. The scholar did not give up on continuing the exam because of another reason."

As a relative, Mrs. Zhao did not get the family’s understanding when the lady got married and did not have much dowry. He even secretly gave the lady a little dowry.

Perhaps this lady and her husband have lived in Kyoto for more than half a year and have not been able to live for a long time, just because they are role models for some of the daughters and sons in the capital.

Some people deliberately disturbed the scholar's work. Perhaps it was the scholar's rival. The rich young master wanted you to fail to do it, so you could only do nothing and rely on your wife to support you.

This daughter has been relying on her dowry to make a living. The scholar came out and couldn't find a job. She stayed in the capital and did nothing and couldn't pass the exam. This matter has always become some hot topics in the capital.

Some people tell this story, and some elders from rich families take this matter as the topic and warn young people not to do anything arbitrarily. They must take the orders of their parents and matchmakers, otherwise they will not be happy.

The couple said one by one, well, the background of these two gentlemen was roughly explained.

The manager thinks that as long as they can hire a gentleman, they will not be able to take care of anything else.

They have been away from the capital for 20 or 30 years, and they don’t know what happened recently.

The gentleman decided to invite him, and Mrs. Zhao asked the manager to go down to have a meal and rest in advance, and this matter was left to her.

Gu Sang

The manager withdrew, and Mrs. Zhao wrote a letter overnight and sent it to the relative's house the next day.

The couple rented a small courtyard in the capital. In order not to be too shabby, the rent for this courtyard is not cheap.

As a daughter, she should have a dowry when she gets married, such as a shop and a house. As a dowry, she cannot get the blessing from her family. She is determined to get married. When her family gets angry, she doesn't give her any dowry.

The couple has lived in this courtyard for more than half a year and have been using some of her money as a girl. During the time of flirting, some elders and relatives saw her persistently wanting to get married, and they couldn't bear to live too hard for her to live, so they gave her some

Give her a dowry.

Especially Mrs. Zhao, she always asks her to do something to supplement her family income.

However, her husband couldn't find a job and could only set up a stall outside to write for a living. However, his calligraphy and paintings were difficult to sell. I don't know if it was due to man-made reasons, and he couldn't even make money to support his family.

Even so, the couple did not ask for workers to take care of them. The man's appearance did not change. Although he was a poor scholar, the clothes he wore were not very noble, but there were no patches. The wife cleaned her up and it was still so

Beautiful and romantic.

When the girl saw him, she had such an idea in her heart. No wonder this daughter married him desperately. This is for his appearance and for his love.

More women think she is stupid. She doesn’t do it for a daughter-in-law and a wealthy lady. She insists on being a poor scholar’s ​​wife. In the past, someone helped her pour tea, water, wash clothes, and she could sit in a carriage and sedan when she went out.

He became a scholar's wife, and had to do everything he had to do after three meals a day, and he also had to walk out to buy vegetables and take care of his husband's daily life.

A daughter of a daughter instantly turned into a yellow-faced woman.

In the past six months, this daughter-in-law seems to have not lost her yearning for life due to the difficulties of life. The couple is still so loving and loving. While they are worried about money, they have not lost their fighting spirit in life.

My wife thinks that my husband will not always be like this. Even if he fails the exam, he will not always be mediocre. Now the only thing he has is a little luck.

With the support of his wife, as a husband, he also believes that he is just a little bit of luck. Even if he fails to pass the exam, he is more than enough to become a certain teacher. There is no problem in going to a college to teach and educate.

The couple has always become a hot topic in the capital. As husband, he is embarrassed to apply for a job at the academy and always thinks that he still has a chance.

In the morning, the wife prepared breakfast. After the couple had breakfast, the husband was about to go out to set up a stall. The wife helped to clean up. The door of their small yard was knocked.

The couple looked at the yard door and felt a little surprised who came to find him?

Is it the rent collected again? Isn’t it time to pay the rent yet?

"Husband, I'll go open the door."

"Madam, please clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Someone is coming. Let's open the door for your husband."

"Well, okay!" The wife looked at their small living room. It was indeed inconvenient for customers to come. Before they could clean up the dishes, they quickly packed up the dishes and went into the kitchen.
Chapter completed!
