Chapter 17 I also like beautiful women, so you should marry a virtuous woman.
"Dad, there really is a three hundred taels reward!"
As soon as Yang Zhengshan sent Lu Zhaoqi away, Wang and Li came over.
The chubby Wang looked at the silver bill in Yang Zhengshan's hand with a silly smile on her face. Silver bill, that was a silver bill. It was the first time she had seen a silver bill in her life.
Li also stared at the banknote with shining eyes, not hiding her greed at all.
Greed is actually very normal. Both Wang and Li were born into ordinary farming families and were village women who had lived a hard life. It would be strange if they did not feel greedy when they suddenly saw a large sum of money.
Not only them, even Yang Minghao came running over, "Dad, let me see the banknotes."
"Go and have fun. This money belongs to me and has nothing to do with you!" Yang Zhengshan said bluntly.
Damn it, the money was earned by me, and you unfilial sons actually coveted it.
"Dad, let me see, I just want to see, I haven't seen the banknotes yet!" Yang Minghao said anxiously.
He was so anxious, but Yang Zhengshan refused to let him see it.
"Want to see?"
"Hmm~~" Yang Minghao nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Earn the money yourself!" Yang Zhengshan put the banknote in his arms.
Watching the banknote disappear into Yang Zhengshan's arms, Yang Minghao pouted, feeling disappointed and depressed.
"Dad, you don't love me anymore, wuwu..."
Yang Zhengshan: "..."
I don't care about your feelings!
I'm not your father.
Seeing him about to cry, Yang Zhengshan felt annoyed, but considering that this boy was only fourteen years old, still just a child, he took out the banknote and said, "Only look at it, don't tear it up!"
"Thank you dad!"
Yang Minghao, who was about to cry just now, almost grinned to his ears when he saw the banknotes.
He took the banknote carefully, as if he was holding a rare treasure.
Wang and Li next to them also stretched their necks to look at the banknotes, and even Yang Yunxue came over to join in the fun.
The whole family looked like they had never seen the world, which made Yang Zhengshan feel a toothache.
"Dad, can I get married now?" Yang Minghao said suddenly.
Get a wife!
Yang Zhengshan was stunned.
Then he realized that it was indeed time for Yang Minghao to get married.
Yang Mingcheng got married at the age of fifteen, Yang Mingzhi got married at the age of fifteen, and now Yang Minghao is fourteen years old, so it is time to put marriage on the agenda.
If the original body's wife were still alive, she would have probably started arranging a marriage for Yang Minghao a long time ago.
Getting married at fifteen?
Yang Zhengshan scratched his head. This was no longer a matter of premature love; it was a fucking crime.
Well, here there is no marriage law as before. It is normal to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. If you are over eighteen, you will be laughed at.
But I also want to get married and find a stepmother for you!
Yang Zhengshan looked at Yang Minghao and blinked.
Should I find you a wife first, or a stepmother first?
This question is worth thinking about.
Yang Minghao felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, "Dad, what's wrong? Can't I still get married?"
"..."
Yang Zhengshan was speechless. You are only fourteen years old. Why are you so anxious?
"can!"
"I'll arrange it for you in a few days!" Yang Zhengshan took the silver note and said unhappily.
Marriage here is based on the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. In simple terms, it is a blind marriage or an arranged marriage.
Getting married is almost like opening a blind box. Before the marriage, both parties may not have met each other. It is not until the bridal chamber that they know what kind of wife they have married, or what kind of husband they have married.
There was nothing wrong with asking Yang Zhengshan to find a wife for Yang Minghao, after all, that was the custom. However, he could not accept having a blind marriage himself.
He still wanted to be in a free relationship and find someone he liked, not a stranger. "What kind of wife do you want?" Yang Zhengshan asked.
"Beautiful!" Yang Minghao said without hesitation.
The corner of Yang Zhengshan's mouth twitched slightly. Don't you even look at what you look like? And you still want a beautiful wife? Are you worthy of it?
Yang Minghao is not really handsome. Among the three brothers, Yang Mingzhi is the most handsome, with double eyelids and big eyes. If it weren't for his dark skin, he wouldn't be much different from those pretty boys.
Yang Mingzhi looks like his original body's wife, while Yang Mingcheng and Yang Minghao are somewhat similar to Yang Zhengshan, tall and plain-looking.
"Marry a virtuous wife. Dad will find you a virtuous one!" Yang Zhengshan said lightly.
I also like beautiful women, so you should marry a virtuous woman.
There is absolutely no logic to it, but Yang Zhengshan thinks that this is the way it should be.
His daughter-in-law is not his own wife, so she doesn't need to be too beautiful.
"Dad~"
Yang Minghao looked at him aggrievedly, but he was too lazy to talk nonsense with this cheap son, so he turned and walked into the inner room.
Sitting on the kang, Yang Zhengshan's mind moved, and the phantom of the stone pond spiritual spring appeared before his eyes.
The stone pond, the spiritual spring, and the boundless darkness all seem to be the same as before, but if you look closely you will find that there are some changes.
First of all, there is the spring water in the stone pond. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom, and there are ripples. However, the amount is no longer a bowl, but almost a ladle.
You should know that Yang Zhengshan has already drunk a bowl of spring water today, but there is still so much left, which shows that the spring water flowing out every day is a lot more than before.
According to Yang Zhengshan's estimation, the amount of water discharged from the spring at the bottom of the pond is now about two bowls per day, almost doubled.
Secondly, the stone pond has also become larger. It was originally only about one foot wide, but now it is almost three feet wide.
The increase in the number of springs and the expansion of the stone pool are both obvious changes.
Yang Zhengshan took a porcelain bowl, filled it with spring water, and drank it in one gulp.
The spring water still tastes clear and sweet when it enters the mouth, but the warm current and the comfortable feeling that spreads throughout the body are no longer there.
This doesn't mean that the spring water has lost its previous effect, but that Yang Zhengshan's body is no longer as exhausted as before.
After drinking a bowl of spring water, Yang Zhengshan took out a kettle, filled it with spring water, and boiled it to make tea.
It was almost dusk and tiny snowflakes suddenly began to float in the sky.
The snowflakes fell like sugar, rustling down, not as gentle as the falling heavy snow, bringing the chill of midwinter.
"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, come and have some tea!" Yang Zhengshan called the three brothers who were cleaning the yard into the main room.
"Dad!" The three of them came into the house and brushed off the snow and frost on their bodies.
"It's cold, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up!" Yang Zhengshan calmly poured a cup of tea for each of them.
Yang Zhengshan also took a sip of the tea. The tea brewed with spiritual spring water had a sweeter taste.
The tea at home is not good tea, it is just the common tea in the county.
In Anning County, tea is a very precious commodity. Even the most common tea costs four or five hundred coins per pound, which is not affordable for ordinary people.
The reason for this is that Anning County does not produce tea, and all the tea on the market is transported from thousands of miles away.
The three brothers Yang Mingcheng had hardly ever drunk tea since they were little. They didn't know whether the tea leaves were good or not, so they just drank the tea in one gulp.
"Huh! The tea is sweet?" Yang Minghao smacked his lips, savoring the taste of the tea.
Yang Zhengshan looked at him, his face trembling slightly. This idiot, giving him tea is like a cow chewing a peony.
"Dad, give me another bowl!" Yang Minghao was unaware of Yang Zhengshan's inner complaints, and stretched out his hand to ask for it.
"Pour it yourself, and pour some for your elder brother and second brother as well." Yang Zhengshan sipped the tea by himself. The three brothers shared a pot of tea and finished it in just a few moments.
The three brothers only felt a warm feeling flowing through their bodies, and their whole bodies were filled with a comfortable feeling. However, they did not suspect that there was anything wrong with the tea. They just thought it was a normal reaction after drinking hot tea in such a cold weather.
Yang Zhengshan naturally would not tell them about the spiritual spring water. After seeing the three of them finish drinking the tea, he turned around and went back into the house.
