Chapter 680: 680 Vige Chief’s Charming Wife
“Wife, you may not know this. Schr Jiang eventually passed the imperial exam and became a Schr. He also became a tutor at the government-established Longqing Academy in our town.” Yuchuan felt very lucky, “Our names were given by a Schr, which is very prestigious. Everyone in the vige is envious. Even my dad said that we were lucky that Schr Jiang contacted us when he was still a Schr. Otherwise, when he became a Schr, we wouldn’t have enough money to ask him to give us names. Once he became a Schr, he wouldn’t sell names anymore.”
“So that’s how it is.” Su Qingyue did know that after bing a Schr, one could be a substitute county magistrate, and if they were lucky, they could be a county official. In the worst case, they could be a tutor in an official academy. That’s the advantage of having a prestigious title in ancient times.
It’s a pity that bing a Schr is difficult, let alone a Schr. Her ‘ex-husband’ Zhu Nengwen took the exam for nine years without passing.
He winked at her joyfully, his long eyshes fluttering, “Wife, do you think my name sounds good?”
She looked at his twinkling big eyes, as bright as stars and as deep as a pool, attracting her. Her heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, her blushing slightly, turning her eyes away uneasily. She reluctantly nodded.
His clear eyes were shining, “Wife, your face is red!”
“Who’s blushing?” She huffed softly, her tone gentle and sweet, not angry, but more like coquettish.
He reached out and touched her small face, “Stubborn like a dead duck…”
Xiao Yishan saw his third brother touching his wife’s face, his resolute face turned serious, “Third brother, in front of the vige chief, don’t be so frivolous.”
Vige Chief Liang finished grinding the ink and didn’t mind, “It’s fine, they are just young people, especially newlyweds. When I first married Yuhong, we were also very passionate.”<div>
“Speaking of Vige Chief Liang’s beloved wife,” Xiao Yuchuan said, “Your young wife is the most beautiful woman in the vige. She used to be a small family’s daughter, but she is not only beautiful but also virtuous. Many people are envious.”
Liang Zhenghong, as the vige chief, had his family’s affairs well-known. Su Qingyue also knew it clearly.
It was said that five years ago, Liang Zhenghong bought a girl named Liu Yuhong from the town. The girl was originally a small family’s daughter, but her family had fallen on hard times, and she was sold.
At that time, the vige chief’s first wife had been dead for more than a decade, and he was considering remarrying, so he bought Liang Yuhong as his second wife.
The vigers did not have high hopes for this couple, after all, Liang Lizheng was 43 years old when he bought his wife, and Liang Yuhong was only 15 years old when they married. However, after seven years passed, Liang Yuhong proved to be a virtuous woman, rarely leaving home, beautiful, dignified, and generous, with no bad rumors about her.
Everyone was delighted that Vige Chief Liang had married such a good wife.
The only pity was that Liu Yuhong never bore Liang Zhenghong any children. However, Liang Zhenghong already had a son who happened to be a year older than Liang Yuhong. Therefore, he didn’t care whether he could have more children or not.
When talking about his beloved wife, Liang Zhenghong’s eyes were full of satisfaction, “Yuhong is really great, beautiful, and kind-hearted. It’s a great blessing in my life to be able to marry her as my second wife.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiao Yuchuan smiled, “In my heart, no matter how good your wife is, she is not as good as my wife. People say your wife is beautiful, but I think my wife is even more beautiful.” His clear and loving gaze stared at Su Qingyue.
