As Lin Yuan guessed.

After Lin Zhi missed class for no reason, Tong Congwen found the Lin family.

"Why don't you go to school? Lin Zhi?" Tong Congwen walked into the fence gate of the new house of Lin's family and saw Lin Zhi sitting under the shade of trees in the front yard to cool off and read the script to play.

Lin Zhi received the advice from his elder sister Lin Yuan and said, "Because my second sister..." and sighed.

Tong Congwen was stunned, "Your second sister? Miss Cui'er? What's wrong with her?"

Lin Zhi still shrugged as Lin Yuan's instructions, spread his hands, "You ask her, I can't say it."

Tong Congwen frowned and vaguely felt something happened to the Lin family.

"Where is she? I'll ask her."

"It's in the backyard. Second sister, Mr. Tong is here!" Lin Zhi walked to the door of the main hall and shouted loudly to the backyard.

Lin Cui and Lin Yuan were sitting in the backyard chatting. When they heard Lin Zhi say that Mr. Tong was coming, they were so shocked that they stood up and hurriedly hid in the kitchen.

Lin Yuan pursed her lips and smiled, reaching out to press her, "What are you running away? They won't force you to be a concubine!"

"I, I..." Lin Cui felt sour in her heart. The Zhu family shouted everywhere that she was eager to get married and ruined her reputation. Tong Congwen must look down on her.

He is a scholar, she is just a village girl.

"You, sit down!" Lin Yuan pressed her shoulders and refused to let her go.

After a while, Tong Congwen walked to the backyard and saw that the two sisters were there, he bowed and bowed and greeted, "Two girls Lin, here are you here to ask why Lin Zhi didn't go to school." As he said that, he looked at Lin Cui with his eyes.

Lin Cui lowered her head, bit her lip, and said nothing.

Lin Yuan glanced at Lin Cui, looked at Tong Congwen and sighed, "It's not because of my sister..."

Tong Congwen's expression suddenly changed, "Because of Miss Cui'er? What's the matter?"

Lin Cui felt sad, she waved her elder sister's hand and ran to the kitchen.

Lin Yuan looked at her back and snorted coldly, "I don't know who is so bad, and she yelled around and said that my sister is in a hurry to get married. She must have done something bad. Mr. Tong, tell me, my sister is a good girl from a good family. She is ridiculed like this for no reason. Can she feel good in her heart? She cries every day, Zhi'er feels sorry for his second sister, and says that she will not go to school these days and stay at home to accompany his second sister."

"What? Who is so viciously slandering Miss Cui'er?" The foolish scholar Tong Congwen suddenly turned red with his handsome eyebrows.

"I just got angry if I don't know. If I knew who did it, hum, I would have to break her leg. His yelling made my sister come to propose marriage, and I'm afraid she's going to be an old girl." Lin Yuan was angry.

Tong Congwen looked at the kitchen, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Miss Lin Yuan, Miss Cui'er is a good girl. The old saying goes, you don't have to worry about your shadow. Someone will like her, tell her not to be sad."

"Oh, I hope." Lin Yuan frowned and sighed.

But that gaze looked at Tong Congwen's face.

The ignorant scholar's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there seemed to be thought in his eyes.

"I... I have something to do, so I'll go back first." Tong Congwen bowed to Lin Yuan, turned around and entered the main hall, came to the front yard and said a few words to Lin Zhi, then hurriedly left.

Only then did Lin Cui dare to come out of the kitchen and complain to Lin Yuan, "Sister, why do you think of him talking about me?" Isn't this even more inconvenient to her head?

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Cui'er, do you like Mr. Tong?"

Lin Cui was slightly stunned, and his ears gradually turned red, "He is a scholar who is a scholar who can be a juren in the future and become an official. What am I? Don't tell us together, and if you spread it, you will be laughed at."

Lin Yuan still smiled, "Sister has a sense of responsibility and will not shout out, but I guess he will come to propose marriage on his own initiative."

Lin Cui looked at Lin Yuan in surprise, "Sister, how do you know?"

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, "Do we want to make a bet?"

Lin Cui trusts Lin Yuan very much, and what Lin Yuan affirms is basically the case.

Her face turned red and she snorted coldly, "Who wants to make a bet with you?" As she said that, she turned around and went into the bedroom, tidied up the soles of her prepared shoes.

But the sorrow between the eyebrows and eyes had already dispersed.

...

After Tong Congwen left the Lin family, he drove the ox cart very quickly.

Along the way, all he thought about Lin Cui was about, and the corners of Lin Cui's eyes that were red due to grievance.

He clenched his fingers tightly in his sleeves. He wanted such a good girl, no one wanted it!

The person who is not good at Miss Cui'er is a blind person!

After returning home, he explained the content of self-study to the students first, and he immediately went to find his father and mother.

He told them that he wanted to marry Lin Cui.

It scared his parents.

"What? Do you fall in love with his girl?" First of all, the mother of Tong opposed it in surprise, "His family is so poor! No, I don't agree!"

Tong's father squinted his eyes and thought for a while and said, "I heard that the Lin family still owes a lot of debts. If you marry his girl, can his family get the dowry?"

Tong Congwen said, "Don't look at the surface, you have to look at the inside. Her father is a good farmer, he can weave baskets, her sister can also use handicrafts, she can also make some needles and threads for money, her younger brother is good at learning, and the whole family is hardworking..."

"Hmph, can you compare with you?" Tong's mother sneered, "The small families are all those who are not allowed to go to the table! You will be a high-ranking official in the future, she is a village girl! You two are not a good match. In the future, you will be in and out of the official family and receive high-ranking officials and nobles. Can the Lin family's village girl handle it?"

Lin's father said at this time, "The girl from the Huang family who runs a shop in the town in this village is good. She is only one year younger than you. She has eight brick houses, two cows at home, and many fields. I heard that if his family marrys a girl, she will marry a cow and a shop."

"Oh, his father, such a good family, you have to ask the matchmaker quickly." The mother of Tong urged in surprise.

"There are six people in line. I'll find someone to come to talk to me, and I can only be ranked seventh." Tong's father frowned and said.

"If you don't go, you will have to be sent to the line. Maybe you will be ranked ninth and tenth. OK, you are just a person who likes to be procrastinated. Don't go, I'll go!"

Tong Congwen doesn’t like to listen to these, “Anyway, I’m marrying Dinglin Cui. My parents don’t agree, I can just agree!”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

It made the father and mother so angry that their faces were dark.

"Then I don't agree with her entering the door! If you marry her, go build a straw hut outside!" Tong's mother said coldly.

...

Tong Congwen acts pedantic and stubbornly, but he is not at all dragging his own marriages.

That night, he went to find the matchmaker from the village, and gave him wine and snacks, explaining his meaning.

When the matchmaker heard that the family was a good family and was familiar with Tong Congwen, she agreed.
