"What do you mean?" Lin Chi was taken aback by him.

Lu Ciyu was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that there seems to be no relationship here?

In ancient times, it was almost always the words of a matchmaker who was ordered by parents. The relatives and elders of the two families agreed with each other and directly set up the marriage. How many people went into the bridal chamber and took off the hijab before seeing each other's first face. There is no such thing as a cultural change/revolution in this dynasty, and Lin Chi naturally doesn't understand it.

Lu Ciyu was entangled for a while: "That's it... We can try it... If both parties are satisfied, we will get married..."

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, how can there be no words to express his mood at the moment!

Ah ah ah, why did he just blurt out his mind just now! !

Lin Chi froze in place, lowered his head, and was silent for a long time before replying in a low voice, "Yes."

He also knew how shocking Lu Ciyu's words were. Once discovered by outsiders, even if Lu Ciyu really married him in the future, he would not be able to take off this hat of being unruly and unethical. But for some reason, Lin Chi couldn't bear to refuse.

It's good to spend more time with each other.

If the matter is discovered...he goes to the river.

It must not affect the reputation of the village and Lu Ciyu. This dynasty takes the atmosphere very seriously. Once something happens, every married and unmarried person in the village will be affected. His selfishness has no reason to make others pay for it.

How could Lu Ciyu know that things would be so serious, she suppressed her joy and looked at Lin Chi, never thinking that the other party had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of worry.

Lu Ciyu was like being thrown a basin of cold water in an instant, and in an instant, he passed from a warm spring day to a bone-chilling winter-is it so unwilling to associate with him? Is there a secret reason to be forced to agree?

The old man outside the house saw someone entering the house for a long time and did not come out. He was a little anxious to wait, and called his name several times. Lu Ciyu answered in a hurry, explained to Lin Chi, and went out of the house with the scissors restlessly.

Lizheng and Lao Langzhong were sitting in front of the stone table in the house, and they tied up a lot of herbs on the table. In a few days, the town will be gathering. Lao Langzhong will take these herbs to the town pharmacy and sell them.

When Li Zheng saw Lu Ciyu coming over, he said casually, "Boy Lu, don't give it to us these few days, hunt more prey and store it up, and then go to the town to sell it together."

Lu Ciyu nodded and said yes, his mind was still the same. At Lin Chi's place, he hasn't recovered yet.

"Also, someone came to my house yesterday and happened to see the pheasant you were hunting, and asked me who caught it. Hunter Yuan in the village broke his leg on the mountain last year, and no one in Yangning Village went up to the mountain to hunt. I can go up the mountain myself to find or ask hunters from other villages."

"He wanted to buy some prey from you, and I suddenly had this idea."

"Little Lu can hunt the prey and sell it in the village, and he can also take this opportunity. Recognize more people in the village and help the village."

Saying that he wanted to help the village, Lu Ciyu understood Li Zheng's intention, and Li Zheng was clearly helping him.

First, let him earn more money and save it for backup; second, let him take this opportunity to get acquainted with the villagers so that he can better integrate into the village; third... This is Lu Ciyu's own thought. .

A person's character is reflected in all aspects. It looks like a trivial matter of selling wild things, but in fact, it can clearly explore everyone's character.

Who is greedy for petty and cheap, who is shoddy, who is frank and candid... These will be clearly shown in front of him. At this moment, I have written it down, and I will know when I need to find someone to help me when I do business in the future.

This is a business that will not lose money no matter how much you count, and Lu Ciyu will naturally not refuse.

"Ciyu has thanked Uncle Lizheng. But Ciyu won't hunt for too long, and will do some business when he settles down."

Lizheng nodded: "It's not a long-term plan to go hunting in the mountains. Forget about others, you This physique is really worrying. It's better to settle down sooner."

"But to do business, you need to be registered as a city citizen. Scholars, peasants, businessmen, and merchants are the cheapest. Lu Xiaozi should think about it."

Lu Ciyu frowned: "I don't hide it. Uncle Lizheng, I am also hesitating about this question."

In ancient times, the noble and the good, the merchants and the slaves. The left and right cannot escape the four characters of rank, honor and inferiority. Even the rich and aristocratic businessman, according to the law, sees the most insignificant and low-ranking officials. Of course, this is just a rule. In fact, it is not a lie if you have money, but if you have money in your hand, you are an uncle.

However, the imperial court placed great restrictions on city membership, and people who were under the pressure of various laws and regulations could not breathe. Moreover, unlike other citizenships, it is difficult to get out of municipal citizenship. In ancient times, some dynasties even stipulated that the descendants of merchants could only be merchants from generation to generation like their fathers, and some dynasties stipulated that descendants of merchants were not allowed to take imperial examinations, etc.

Lu Ciyu didn't know what the specific regulations of this dynasty were. He couldn't ask Li Zheng about such common-sense questions, and he was afraid that he would regret it in the future if he made a rash decision on the household registration.

"Little Lu has read books, don't you plan to take this road again?"

Lu Ciyu shook his head: "I know what I am capable of, and I can read and write well, but it is really difficult to learn. But if there is a chance, , it would be good to take the exam for a scholar and fame."

Li Zheng nodded, he still hoped that Lu Ciyu could continue to take the exam, but he still said that, he didn't want to, and it was useless for others to persuade him.

I don't know why, he didn't even know Lu Ciyu's knowledge, and he somehow believed that Lu Ciyu would pass the exam, and he didn't know where the confidence came from.

Lu Ciyu had planned the matter of obtaining the fame. Scholars of this dynasty had a very high status, and there were exclusive access to the city for tax reduction and exemption, and the imperial court gave subsidies and other benefits for the holidays.

Young Master Lu has been so cool and arrogant all his life, even in the chaotic environment of the apocalypse, he still lives like an uncle.

The development of history has similarity and inevitability, and this dynasty is no exception. As long as you can grasp the key points of the rules, there is no reason why a talented person cannot pass the exam. Of course, I also want to thank this dynasty that there are no eight-legged prose, and reciting poems, writing fu, and making pairs is not a problem that will be involved in being a scholar.

It is not difficult to test for a scholar and fame based on the education level of Young Master Lu, but it will be troublesome if he goes up to participate in the township examination. It's not that he couldn't pass the exam, Lu Ciyu had no plans to become an official at all. Rather than being a minister and worrying about being beheaded by the emperor all the time, he wants to be an ordinary landlord.

The person he followed to steal the etiquette of a scholar was an official in the county school. While he was sleeping, Lu Ciyu secretly flipped through the papers of the past years, some of which were like the history, politics and geography of the college entrance examination. Most of them gave an example for the candidates to analyze comprehensively according to various aspects, and the rest was for planning.

Planning such a thing is nothing to him. Science master Lu Ciyu took this elective course for one semester at university. He knew a little bit about it, and he would not be at a loss as to where to start, but the liberal arts were somewhat difficult.

However, there are several sets of x-year college entrance examination x-year simulations in his space. These should be enough...

When I was fleeing, I thought that books were the carrier of human knowledge, so I saw one book and one book, and I didn't have time to look carefully at what was written. . As a result, when sorting out, I found that there are all kinds of miscellaneous...

But thanks to these books, the things recorded in it are his biggest reliance on his development in this world.

Settle down, buy a house, get a job, and get married.

Lin Chi's attitude puzzled him.

Everyone in the apocalypse is a movie star, and children of a few years old are no exception. In the same way, everyone has developed a pair of piercing eyes.

Eyes can't hide things. Lin Chi likes him a little bit, but why is he so uneasy?

Li Zheng saw that he was absent-minded, and a green onion knocked on his head: "What happened to Lu boy today?"

Lu Ciyu hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, what kind of person do you think Brother Chi is?"

Li Zheng Silence for a while: "Very strong, also able to endure hardships, is a person who is very considerate of others."

Lu Ciyu nodded, pondered for a while, and then changed the topic.

"Ordinary brother or girl, it's time to find her husband's house on the 14th or 15th?"

Li Zheng sighed, "Isn't that true

? " They were all rejected by his second aunt. After one come and go, it has been delayed until now, that child is eighteen years old. "

Lu Ciyu continued to nod. Eighteen years old, eighteen is a good adult. Really let Lu Ciyu marry a 14th-five-year-old child, his own conscience can't handle it.

If Lin Chi can't get married again this year, he will be matched by a government official.

Li Zheng's lips twitched a few times, but he still couldn't get the words out.

Saying this in front of people, isn't this forcing Lu Ciyu to marry Lin Chi... But Lin Chi... He can't watch this child fall into the fire pit...

The typical male-to-female ratio in this era is unbalanced. If a girl or a brother wants to not marry, the government will be the first to come to the door and force them to put a name card on the sedan chair.

Neither can the court. In the early years, he fought a lot of battles with the frontier tribes, and the number of conscripts dropped sharply over the years. In some villages, even men died on the battlefield. The only men in the village were old men and young children.

In order to increase the number of newborns, the government has promulgated many regulations, and official matching is one of them. However, official mates usually don't ration to any good family, usually widower or prisoner with a criminal record. After all, how can a good person fail to marry a daughter-in-law and let the government worry about it.

Li Zheng and Aunt Hui have been worrying about Lu Ciyu and Lin Chi all day, and their mouths have bubbles. How could Lu Ciyu know this, so he took a fruit picked from the mountain, washed it, and handed it to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng was thinking about something, and didn't care about what he gave, so he took a bite.

Sour and stubborn, he bared his teeth in pain and couldn't speak.

It's been such a messy day.
