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

Chapter 271
"Just ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage?" Xu Zifan's eyes lit up.

But immediately afterwards, his face fell down: "But my parents and elders are all in the hometown thousands of miles away, so I can't just invite a matchmaker to come to propose marriage."

Besides, he still doesn't know whether people are willing to marry their daughter to him.

Xu Zifan and Li Xiuping are similar in some places, but there are differences in the general situation.

For example, both of them came from poor families in the countryside, but the Xu family's family background is much better than that of the Li family.

The old couple lived a stable life in their hometown, surrounded by other children, so after Xu Zifan passed the exam, Tan Hualang stayed in the capital to become an official.

They also sent letters back, and the two elders said that they were used to living in the country and did not want to come to the capital.

Li Xiuping looked at him, and said seriously: "Then tell your family clearly about your situation, so that you can marry a wife smoothly, maybe they will be willing to come to the capital?"

Xu Zifan also felt that this was the case. When proposing marriage, his parents needed to be present, and when getting married, his parents also needed to be present, right?

With such a good reason, it is impossible for his parents to disagree with coming to the capital, and he will write a letter when he returns home at night.

Then, Xu Zifan became troubled again: "I don't know if her family will agree to this marriage."

Thinking that his marriage was not so smooth, he was already married, but the young Ji Xiao and the others had never been a real couple, Li Xiuping also felt that it should not be so easy to marry the little lady he likes.

Therefore, I asked: "Have you already given and received privately?"

"No, no." Xu Zifan shook his head hastily, he couldn't ruin the reputation of his favorite little lady, "I, we haven't met formally or talked alone."

Feeling that Li Xiuping was more experienced than him after all, Xu Zifan boldly said what was in his heart despite being a little ashamed: "Maybe, she doesn't know me yet."

Li Xiuping was so overwhelmed that he didn't want to talk to this person anymore.

He is still thinking about his little daughter-in-law happily, haha, he and Qingqing will get married in a few days...

April 23, the absolute auspicious day of the zodiac, is a good day for marriage.

Li Xiuping had been living in the official residence before and did not come back, and Shi Shi was even more on guard these days, absolutely not allowing him to meet Fang Qingqing in private.

The newlyweds cannot see each other three days before they get married, otherwise it will be unlucky for the marriage, and the new house and bed of the newlyweds must be arranged so that no outsiders can touch them.

Shi's strict defense, except for Fang's fourth child in her family, she seems to have regarded herself as the bride's mother.

Moreover, these few days, the Shi family has also specially asked Li Dajie and Li Xiaomei to accompany Qingqing more. One is someone who has been there to teach experience, and the other is a similar identity to share their thoughts with each other and share the tension that a newlywed should have.

Nervous and scared?
To be honest, Fang Qingqing really didn't have such emotions.

Maybe when she first came here, she was worried about the future as a Chongxi bride, and she would still be uneasy or something.

But now, after getting along well with the Li family for the past two years, even if she really remarried, for Fang Qingqing, she would just sleep in another house.

Nothing special.

Moreover, when it comes to imparting experience to those who have experienced it, since she is from modern times and has studied medical skills, she probably knows more about some things than Sister Li.

So compared to Sister Li's nonchalant speech, Fang Qingqing and Sister Li were laughing and joking.

The main thing is that they are talking about the feeling of being unmarried and about to get married, and they don't seem to be worried at all.

Sister Li coughed twice, attracting their attention: "Shall I tell you something that a bride should pay attention to?"

The two nodded in unison.

Sister Li taught it earnestly, and it was actually just some clichés. For example, the bride can't take off her hijab and can't eat. It's better to hide a piece of snack in her handkerchief.

He also said that there are too many people and it will be confusing, so be careful not to fall when walking, etc.

Sister Li didn't know much about some things, because it was relatively easy for her to get married in the village at that time.

It's not like now, after all, she is going to marry Li Zhuangyuan, at least the make-up and wedding clothes that Fang Qingqing needs are much more grand than the last time they got married.

Fang Qingqing's focus is rather strange: "On the day of getting married, do I have to wear that whole set of headgear, and wear it all day long?"

This whole set of headgear is made of pure gold, and it cost nearly 200 taels when I bought it, but Shi Shi gritted his teeth and paid out the money while gritting his teeth.

The family is not very well-off now, although the food shop and Li Erlang also made some money from selling goods, after all, with so many people eating and drinking, they still want to save money to buy a house.

Fang Qingqing suggested buying smaller ones or simply buying silver ones. The silver ones look good too, mainly because they are much lighter.

Otherwise, I don't know if a set of gold jewelry can hold it up when it is pressed on the head and neck.

It was Shi who disagreed. After all, Saburo's status was different now, and she didn't want to wrong Qingqing.

Here the three older ladies and the younger daughter-in-law whispered quietly, and Li Xiuping, who lived in the official house and was ordered not to go back for three days and saw Qingqing, was actually talking with someone.

Finally, they didn't get together to talk about official business, and the three of them got together to talk about their expectations for various matters after they got married. Li Xiuping also specially sent invitations to the former officials and colleagues in the Imperial Academy.

After all, they don't have many relatives and friends in the capital. Li Xiuping has always known that his father and mother are very lively when they come to this big city. In fact, the old man is still a little lonely in his heart.

Simply, this time the marriage will have a big banquet for the two elders to follow Gao Xin.

Not only that, Li Xiuping also specially prepared many invitations for his parents to send to neighbors who used to live or new friends who came to the capital.

He has marriage leave, but his colleagues still need to work, so it doesn't matter.

The wedding banquet is at Xiangwu, they can take advantage of lunch time to go to Li Mansion to drink wedding wine.

Then there were those who came to Beijing from the government school together to rush for the exam. In fact, apart from Li Xiuping and Zhou Jianan, there were other classmates.

Zhou Jianan failed the ranking and went back to continue his studies, but the other two also passed the exam, although they were just behind the ranks of Jinshi.

They didn't have the good luck of the three Jinshi and the first, and they directly entered the Imperial Academy as officials.

At any rate, they can be regarded as two people on the list. One passed the selection and reluctantly entered the Imperial Academy to be a good scholar, and the other had some connections at home and directly sought out to be sent to a remote county to become a county magistrate.

Li Xiuping specially went to personally invite Shu Jishi's former classmates to ask for posts, and also contacted him by the way. In a year or two, Liang Junjie will take the Juren exam again and Zhou Jian'an will go to Beijing again to participate in Chunwei.

Anyway, they all came from the same place, and Li Xiuping and him also have many topics to talk about.

After finishing these trivial matters, Li Xiuping turned around, only to see Jingrui's frowning.
