Chapter 146 I raised my husband in ancient times (35)
That night, Lin Chaomu came back from school.
Because his family lived close by, the master agreed to Lin Chaomu's request to go home and rest at night. As soon as he arrived at the door, the young man saw the small door open and a figure standing at the door.
The pace involuntarily quickened, and a clear voice sounded.
"Jiang Tang."
Jiang Tang raised his eyes and watched Lin Chaomu striding over and calling his name.
Suddenly, a strange voice in my heart also shouted.
Jiang Tang!
It was as gentle as a clear spring flowing through a mountain stream. The exact same young man's voice was gentler and softer than Lin Chaomu's.
Jiang Tang was stunned.
Why did she think of this voice? Why does it feel so familiar? It was as if someone had shouted in my ears countless times.
The voice was filled with fervent love and joy, without any concealment.
"Jiang Tang? What are you thinking about?"
Lin Chaomu frowned slightly and saw Jiang Tang's eyes suddenly clearing up, and he recovered from his daze.
Jiang Tang shook his head.
"Nothing, just thinking about today's business."
Lin Chaomu followed Jiang Tang in, with a searching look on his handsome face.
There was clearly a hint of tenderness in Jiang Tang's eyes just now that even she herself didn't notice.
Who is she thinking about? Who else in Xiaodong Village deserves her missing?
Jiang Tang didn't say anything more. Lin Chaomu hesitated to speak before he finally swallowed it. Dinner in the evening.
Mother Lin looked at the two people opposite her with concern. After hesitating for a long time, she put down her chopsticks and spoke seriously.
"Zi Qing, Xiao Jiang, it is not normal for a woman to live with you. I also know that your studies are the most important thing now, but you can't delay Xiao Jiang for too long. How about I wait until you end this time? If you become a scholar, Master, how about you get married?”
Jiang Tang didn't say anything and just kept eating. She didn't have any objection to it anyway.
Lin Chaomu slowly put down his bowls and chopsticks, glanced at Jiang Tang with his warm eyes, and said slowly.
"Mom, the imperial examination is held once every three years. Next year it will be the imperial examination day. How about we discuss marriage after I take the examination again next year?"
"But... Xiao Jiang is no longer young... one year later..."
If a woman is still unable to marry at the age of twenty, she will be criticized by others, thinking that the woman may have behaved abnormally, which will have an impact on the woman's reputation.
Mother Lin thought about Jiang Tang, but she didn't know that Lin Chaomu and Jiang Tang had already made an agreement.
"Auntie, it's too early to worry about these things now. This year is a critical period for Ziqing. I will be responsible for making good money, and you will be responsible for taking good care of your body and helping me make money. Don't cause trouble to Ziqing. Let's wait until everything settles about the marriage. Let’s talk about it after you become an official lady, okay?”
Jiang Tang was very good at coaxing people. Mother Lin was instantly amused and squeezed Jiang Tang's hand and refused to let go.
"Anyway, I recognize you as my daughter-in-law. Ziqing is watching. You can't be deceived by other young men!"
Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Lin Chaomu, who was quietly clearing the table and preparing to wash the dishes.
There has never been a saying in the Lin family that a gentleman is better than a cook. Lin's mother cooks, Jiang Tang helps, and Lin Chaomu washes the dishes.
"I'll boil the bath water, and you go talk to Ziqing."
Mother Lin got up and went to boil water. Jiang Tang sat on the stool and watched Lin Chaomu wash the dishes quietly.
The little man's long and slender fingers looked whiter than a porcelain plate. The roots of the fingers were like green bamboo, the fingertips were round and soaked with water, and light veins floated on the surface of the fair skin. The palms were wide and looked extremely warm.
