The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 168
"If we don't win, we—"

When the topic changed, Li Xiuping said, "Qingqing, if you have confidence in me, I will definitely win."

"Well, brother Saburo, you can definitely do it."

But Li Xiuping looked at Fang Qingqing with a very apologetic expression: "When it's your birthday, I may not be able to celebrate you wantonly. I'm probably still taking exams at that time."

Fang Qingqing said that of course the exam is the most important thing, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't pass her birthday.

"It's fine if I don't have the ceremony, I'll always treat myself as a little girl."

Li Xiuping lowered his head, looked into Fang Qingqing's eyes, and promised very seriously: "In my heart, you have always been a little girl, and you will always be!"

Even if she becomes an old lady in the future, she is still his little girl, and his own.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the old Li's family all returned to Hongqiao Village, after all, that was their root.

In addition to paying New Year greetings to some elders of his own clan, old man Li also specially took Li Sanlang to the ancestral hall to offer incense and kowtow to the ancestors.

Tell them that Saburo will go to Beijing at the end of the first lunar month, and hope that the ancestors will bless Saburo with a smooth journey.

I hope that he can take the exam and go to high school, so that he can really win glory for their Li clan.

"Old ancestor, when Saburo becomes an official, the old man will definitely let him renovate the ancestral hall and build ethnology. Let the descendants of our old Li family have a better future."

Although it is just a cake, it is not impossible;
Li Sanlang is already the only lord in Anshun County this year, who can guarantee that he will not be a high official in the future?
Not to mention that the people who came back from this clan respected old man Li a lot, even the other people in the village looked at them with smiles on their faces.

Everyone is not a fool, even if they are not all from the village with the surname Li Ke, they can get a lot of credit if they say it.

After all, time is tight, and there is no need to fully abide by the rules, so I don't wait until the next day to go back to my hometown again.

While old man Li was talking with the patriarch and the village head and other elders, Li Xiuping took his wife back to her natal home to pay New Year's greetings.

I also discussed with them that they will probably be on the road at the end of the first lunar month, and then they will bring Qingqing to Beijing together. Li Xiuping said seriously to his father-in-law and mother-in-law:

"Xiaoxu will probably be busy before leaving, maybe Qingqing will come to see the elders alone, Xiaoxu will confess first."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to the other party's parents.

Old man Fang looked very relieved, but Mrs. Liu was already tearful.

In the future, my daughter will be blessed.

Look at the son-in-law, now he speaks and acts differently from the country bumpkins. In the future, the son-in-law will be an official but the daughter will be an official wife.

On the surface, Li Xiuping and Fang Qingqing's stay at their daughter-in-law's natal house was considered pleasant, but everyone else was fine.

It's Fang's second child, who looks more haggard?
Could it be that after divorcing his wife, he regretted it, lying on the bed alone at night, unable to sleep, and felt that he should not divorce Xu?

Apart from this, Fang Qingqing couldn't think of any other reasons. You must know that her second brother's life is not much different from the past except for the loss of a daughter-in-law.

After all, the two daughters are not young, and they are both used to doing housework since they were young. They can take care of themselves, not to mention helping his father with laundry and personal hygiene.

However, Fang Qingqing didn't ask too much. To her, it was not a bad thing for Fang's family to lose the culprit Xu.

After all, the whole family returned to the hometown and the county together, so the young couple didn't stay at Lao Fang's house for a long time. They sat for a while, drank tea, ate snacks, talked for a while, and then left.

Anyway, I have to come back before I leave, and today Li Xiuping has some things to say that are not easy to say, so Fang Qingqing is not in a hurry.

In the second year of junior high school, Li Dalang and Li Erlang were the only ones who brought their daughter-in-law and children back to their natal home, and Li Sanlang rested at home.

Fang Qingqing chatted with Shi Shi in the yard, by the way, to entertain guests.

Today, Sister Geng Dazhuang and Li will bring their children to visit the New Year together. If the family comes together, they can also experience it in the county by the way.

The main reason is that Geng's family is too far away from the county seat, and they only go to the town at most on weekdays. This time, the Shi family specially asked someone to send a message for them to come to the county seat to celebrate the New Year.

Sure enough, they were dragging their families along. Sister Geng Dazhuang, Li, and their sons all came, carrying big bags and small bags.

Anyway, with the ox cart, everything is much more convenient. This time, the couple brought a lot of work from the mountains.

Mother said earlier that the third daughter-in-law likes those things, and Sister Li has always kept them in mind.

One is to see her grandson, but the most important thing in Shi's heart is her own eldest daughter.

Therefore, after Shi's first kiss|warm up with the eldest grandson, he dragged Sister Li to talk non-stop.

Fang Qingqing also looked at her secretly, seeing that the elder sister's complexion is much better than the last time we met.

The point is, the elder sister who used to keep her head down when she saw people and spoke submissively now speaks louder and has learned to hold her head high.

This made her quite happy.

Although Li Xiaomei was engaged, she did not get married, so even though the two families left before the Chinese New Year, Li Sanlang also visited Liang Junjie's house after the new year.

Liang Junjie also came to pay New Year's greetings to old man Li Shi, but the real unmarried couple did not meet alone.

Although the defense of men and women in this dynasty is not so strict, there are still many rules for unmarried ladies.

The Shi family had detained Li Xiaomei to embroider the dowry at home years ago, and did not take her back to her hometown in the first year of junior high school.

And because they were obsessed with the business of the noodle shop, they only stopped for ten days during the Chinese New Year. Li Dalang and Mrs. Li reopened the noodle shop around the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

But now the business is a little bit colder, so the people from the second room of the big house take turns to guard the noodle shop, and there is not a need for so many people in the shop every day.

Li Sanlang began to study hard behind closed doors again, but Fang Qingqing became interested and wanted to take a good tour of the county a few times.

There won't be many opportunities in the future, and people are probably like this. When she lived in the county for a long time, she didn't think there was anything to do in this small county with only three streets in total.

But thinking that there might not be many chances to come back after leaving, instead, I felt Qi Qiran in my heart, and suddenly felt a feeling of reluctance.

As he walked, Fang Qingqing saw a shop on the side of the road offering discounts. You must know that this was still during the New Year's Eve and there were not many people on the street.

On the contrary, many people surrounded the shop, Fang Qingqing glanced at it from a distance.

It turned out to be a cloth shop, thinking that there was still a batch of untouched special priced cotton cloth stored in the space, Fang Qingqing had an idea and squeezed into the cloth shop with the crowd.

Years ago, the owner of the cloth shop bought enough goods, mainly because he thought that many people would have to tear cloth to make new clothes after the Chinese New Year, and there was not enough to sell the year before.

At that time, when the boss's brain was pumped, he entered too much.
