As the dusk is gathering, the last ray of afterglow in the sky gradually fades away.

Bai Wei was wearing new clothes made of red cloth, black black hair, and a neat bun.

The plate is beautiful and smooth, standing beneath the osmanthus tree.

glance right and left.

The aunt who was working in the field carried a hoe and a bamboo basket in her hand, walked over happily and said, "Girl Wei, where are you waiting for this time?"

Bai Wei pulled her hair, her face flushed, and she said coquettishly: "Aunt, I... am waiting for my elder brother."

Who saw my brother dressed so decently?

The aunt knew that the little girl couldn't open her face and was ashamed. She joked: "Look at what I said, I have to call you a juren's wife. At that time, I have to invite my aunt to have a drink of wedding wine to enjoy the joy."

Bai Wei nodded shyly, sweet and happy, and uneasy.

Gu Shi'an ended this year's provincial examination and was on the list. Today, he will hold a banquet at home to celebrate.

Dad and brother went to have noodles together.

It turned out that no matter whether they passed the exam or failed the exam, they would have decided to get their marriage.

She didn't go to eat noodles.

Gu Shi'an secretly asked her to meet here.

Bai Wei had known that Gu Shian had a great future, so she hoped that he would make a name for himself, but she was very afraid that he would succeed.

He passed the exam and Bai Wei was happy for Gu Shi'an. The gap between the two made her feel panic, afraid that Gu Shi'an would abandon her.

There is always a voice in my heart that comforts her. Gu Shian is not an ungrateful person.

He said he liked her and just married her, not all to repay his kindness.

"It's dry today, the jaccao is sweet and delicious. You can try one."

The aunt brought a jacquard from the bamboo basket for Bai Wei and went home to cook.

I murmured in my heart that the Bai family really had such good fortune because of the virtues of the ancestors.

Gu Shi'an's parents died since childhood. Bai Qifu and Gu Shi'an's father were good friends and kindly took Gu Shi'an in.

Gu Shian is a strong man and good at studying. Now he is in his early twenties and is already a juren.

In order to repay the kindness of the Bai family, when he was admitted to the scholar, he took the initiative to marry Bai Wei.

Who doesn’t envy the old Bai family?

My eyes were red with jealousy.

How could Bai Wei not know that the villagers were jealous of her family raising a juren?

When she adopted Gu Shi'an, her father had a craftsmanship and was a stone carving craftsman. She lived a wealthy life at home. She sent Gu Shi'an to school with her brother and brother to study. She was the only girl, and she should not go to the fields to work like other girls in the village. She only had to help her cook at home during busy farming.

Gu Shi'an and his elder brother passed the exam to Tongsheng. His father delivered goods to others. When he encountered bandits, he was injured and could no longer make stone sculptures.

The only pillar in the family fell down and could not afford the cost of three people.

She and her mother were washing clothes and sewing them, and gritted their teeth and forced themselves to give them the eldest brother and Gu Shi'an a scholar.

Gu Shi'an passed the scholar exam, but his elder brother failed the exam.

The eldest brother took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the family and continued to let Gu Shi'an and his younger brother study.

Many people are talking behind their backs. No matter how capable Gu Shian is, his surname is Gu or Bai.

The Bai family was crazy about gaining and losing their hearts, so they held someone else's son and gave up their own son.

Fortunately, Gu Shi'an was grateful and was a conscientious person, so he proposed to marry Bai Wei.

The two decided to have a marriage, and the people in the village stopped talking.

But Gu Shian also moved out of the Bai family and lived back to his old house.

Bai Wei looked at it dark and had already passed the agreed time. Gu Shian was still missing, and his anxiety in his heart widened.

She was about to go to Gu Shi'an's house to find him, and she took a step forward, but she saw Gu Shi'an walking towards her.

"My sister Wei, there are many customers today, so you have to wait for a long time."

Gu Shian was wearing a blue cloth shirt, gentle and elegant, and his fair face dyed thin red due to drinking, and his eyes were particularly clear and vivid.

Bai Wei was watched by him, and Gu Shian's narrow eyes seemed to contain a different kind of gentleness.

Her face turned redder and her heart was beating.

"Have you finished practicing the copybook I gave you?"

Gu Shi'an looked at it and smiled slightly.

Bai Wei pinched her fingers and bit her lower lip, "It's still... not yet."

Gu Shi'an's face changed, "Have you not finished practicing, or have you not practiced?"

Bai Wei looked at Gu Shian uneasyly, "You know, I'm very stupid and can't even learn a few words..." You said that when you marry me into the house and enter the officialdom, you will teach me how to read and practice writing step by step.

Gu Shi'an interrupted her and said disappointedly: "My sister Wei, I am a Juren now, and I will be a Jinshi in the future, and I will even be a prime minister in the cabinet, leaving my name in history, and glorifying my ancestors will never stop here. My wife is a person who can't read a big word, which will make people laugh."

"Brother Shi An, what do you want to say? I... I will try my best to recognize words and practice your calligraphy well... When you come back from the Spring Examination, I will definitely recognize all the words."

This sentence hit Bai Wei's heart like a muffled punch. Her red face turned pale in an instant. A panic flashed in her eyes like peach petals, and her fingers grabbed Gu Shi'an's sleeves. It seemed that only by doing this could he be held tightly.

Gu Shian looked at her delicate facial features, her skin was not fair enough, and she looked very vulgar in her red clothes. Her face was as pretty as beautiful as at best.

"Let's terminate the engagement." Gu Shian pulled Bai Wei's hand away, "I will settle and return it to you all the money I have spent over the years."

Bai Wei was stunned, her tears fell out, and her heart fell to the ground, shattering.

"Brother Shi An, don't break the engagement..."

Bai Wei didn't want to cry, but her tears were out of control and kept falling down, and she couldn't wipe them clean no matter how hard she wiped them.

"I won't agree. You said you wanted to marry me, you can only marry me... I can practice calligraphy well. You believe me. In a month, I will recognize all 1,000 words. OK? Don't quit the marriage, I beg you..."

Bai Wei was crying and heartbroken.

She liked him, and she had loved him since she was a child, and Gu Shian also liked her. When he said he wanted to marry her, she didn't know how happy she was!

Bai Wei didn't want to think about whether she was worthy or not, but only remembered that Gu Shian once said that a gentleman relied on his promise.

In front of Gu Shian, she had no confidence and could only remember these four words.

When Gu Shi'an proposed to withdraw from the marriage, the uneasiness accumulated since the release of the results suddenly reached its peak and he could hardly withstand the blow and collapse!

Gu Shi'an had made up his mind and took out the marriage contract, "My sister Wei, I know you have always been understanding, and this time you will propose to terminate the engagement."

Bai Wei just refused to agree.

As long as she doesn't let go, Gu Shian will not take the initiative to terminate the engagement.

He dared not.

If he speaks of quitting his bride and his reputation is completely over, he will bear the reputation of ungratefulness.

Gu Shi'an cherishes his reputation the most.

"I won't agree. Brother Shi An, you said you would be admitted to the juren and marry me. I'll go home to find my father and arrange a marriage for us immediately."

Bai Wei didn't want to face Gu Shian, so she turned around and ran home.

How could Gu Shian let her go back like this? I’m afraid that in a moment, all the neighbors in the village knew about his marriage.

He hurriedly chased after him.

Bai Wei ran faster.

Although Gu Shian was a scholar, he was a man after all, with long hands and feet, and he quickly grabbed Bai Wei.

Bai Wei struggled violently, and her tears fell even harder, "Let me go, even if I die, I will not agree to withdraw from the bride!"

If she quit her marriage, she will become a joke for the whole village.

She will never retreat even if she dies!

Gu Shian looked at Bai Wei who was crying with tears in her face. Disgust flashed in her eyes and threatened: "You are ungrateful, don't blame me for not being missed by old love and cutting off your brother's career."

Bai Wei stopped struggling and looked at Gu Shian in disbelief. The disgust in his eyes was no longer the gentle gentleman who was as gentle as jade in his memory, but became very strange.

He said he would not withdraw from the marriage, and he would ruin his younger brother!

How could he say this?

My father was only forty years old and was ten years older than his age. In order to save money to study for him, he refused to take medicine. The injuries on his hands were not healed and it hurt badly on rainy days. In order to earn more money, my mother did needlework until late every day, which hurt her eyes and shed tears when the wind blew. And her brother...

Their family has paid so much for Gu Shi'an, and never complained about hard work, nor regretted taking over his affairs.

He always said in her ear that Gu Shian had a bright future, and their daughters would enjoy the happiness.

I didn't enjoy the blessing. In order to force her to quit the bride, this heartless man threatened her with his younger brother!

His ruthlessness made her feel heartbroken.

Bai Wei was in anger and raised her hand and slapped him in the face, "You bastard! Gu Shi'an, you are just an ungrateful wolf! My brother gave up studying for you, and you repay my family like this! You are promising now, thinking that I am a stupid and ignorant village girl, wanting to learn from Chen Shimei's lady in the city, or want Princess Shang?"

Gu Shi'an held Bai Wei's hand and was poked into the middle, and his face became very ugly.

"I won't let you succeed!"

Bai Wei pulled out her hand and wiped away the tears from her face, intending to go home to expose Gu Shian's true face!

"Bai Wei, if you want to toast, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Gu Shi'an's eyes flashed with harshness, and he reached out and pushed Bai Wei down the well for irrigation on the edge of the field.

He stood by the well, and the splashes of water wet his long gown.

He watched Bai Wei sank into the well and sink into the bottom of the water.
