Chapter 186 The Spring Festival Begins

When Li Xiao saw that his father was fine, he returned to his seat and continued eating. However, in order to change the subject, he asked about martial arts.

Li Qingbai naturally came one by one, but he also said that because he needed to prepare for the martial arts competition, he might not go home very much before six months.

After all, if he could be favored by the general and be willing to take him to learn the art of war and strategy, he could not disappoint the general.

"What about Sister Hu Die?" Li Xiao blurted out without thinking.

Li Qingbai:......

Crowd: ...

After Li Xiao finished speaking, she noticed that there was no sound around her. She looked up and saw, good guy, everyone is looking at her.

Seeing his second brother's narrowed eyes, he later realized that he seemed to have let something slip.

"Hey, second brother, this kind of thing is a good thing, there's no need to hide it, right?" That flattering look was so frightening that it was not fake at all.

After a few breaths of silence, Li Qingbai relaxed: "I have to learn military strategy from the general recently, and I don't have enough time. After the third child gets married, I will find time to talk to her."

After saying this, he admitted the matter.

"But before I tell her, everything is as usual. Parents, don't worry. Just treat her the way you treated her in the past and treat her in the future. We will wait until I tell her."

After saying that, he went back to eating by himself.

Li Dashan and Li Yuan were naturally delighted.

My son is not young anymore. His 20th birthday is approaching and it is time to get married.

Thinking about it, his eyes turned to the other side. Li Qingsong had already finished eating and stood up: Alas, this is a big problem.

Li Qingsong didn't seem to see his parents' eyes, so he said "I'm full, please take it easy, dad and mom" and left.

Li Xiao also took a few bites of rice quickly, then said something and left.

The two people who were the focus of attention were gone, and Li Dashan and his wife could only have a good meal. Within a quarter of an hour, the dining table was cleared.

That night, Li Dashan and his wife had a rare chat while lying on the bed.

However, the person they were chatting with was not Li Qingbai or Li Qingsong, but Li Xiao who had already gone to see Duke Zhou.

"Xiao Xiao, I don't know what kind of family I will find for her in the future." Li Dashan said sadly.

"Don't be too unreasonable. Xiaoxiao is still the head of the county. How can this marriage go ahead?" Li Yuan was not worried about this.

"No matter how high your status is, there is no guarantee that you will marry a good one." Li Dashan was still worried.

"When we were in Liu Ning Mansion, which one of Mr. Luo and Mr. Zhang didn't have better conditions than ours? But it's not a good idea to be able to stand up to those young masters!"

"The main wife hasn't entered the house yet, and there are a lot of concubines in the same room. Maybe there will be concubines in secret. Our daughter will be happy to be a mother after she gets married."

"Actually, I would say, it's better to find Xiaoxiao someone from an average family background. In the future, she can be supported by her three brothers." Li Dashan began to think of an idea, "Or, it would be okay to recruit a wife!"

Li Dashan seemed to have thought of a good idea, and he was extremely happy.

"You bad old man, what are you thinking about all day long?" Li Yuan pinched Li Dashan in the dark, "Three children in the family are not enough, you have to recruit one more? If a family asks you to give away a son, will you? ?”

"Of course I don't want to." Li Dashan snorted. "That's it!" Li Yuan rolled his eyes in the dark, thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you don't have to think too much, children have their own destiny in marriage, just like us back then, just let nature take its course and walk on the road. Together, even if others don't think favorably of us, aren't we living a good life now?"

"The third child will get married in May, and the second child is expected to be married soon. Even if he is the eldest brother, when Chunwei's results come out, we can start dating him!"

"As for Xiaoxiao, she's only sixteen in September this year, so there's no rush. Besides, she has to make the final decision on this matter."

"If you can't bear it, then stay for two more years. My daughter will definitely be willing to do it. Look, aren't Hu Die and Shulan already [-] or [-] years old? Do you dislike their age?" Li Yuan asked in a low voice.

"Of course I don't dislike them. They are both good girls. Our two bastards can marry them. That's a blessing from their past lives!"

"That's good, haven't you always said that our Xiaoxiao is a lucky person, then she will definitely meet someone who likes her!"

After saying that, Li Yuan yawned, "Okay, okay, go to bed quickly. If you think too much, you will age faster!"

Li Dashan: ...

Forget it, go to sleep!
Li Xiao had a good night's sleep, but she didn't know that her parents had been discussing her marriage in the dark for a long time.

In mid-March, the weather was getting warmer, and Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the Li family's capital began to slowly become busy.

Li Xiao basically no longer cares about Zhuangzi's affairs. Those matters have been left to his old father, Li Cunliang and Gao Zhuang.

The vegetable greenhouse in the backyard also began to become Li Yuan's territory. Li Xiao was 'ordered' to stay with Hu Die and Min Shulan.

Li Xiao: Well, right now, she is just a tool to accompany her future sister-in-law.

Li Xiao, the toolmaker, secretly decided in her heart that if the three second brothers get married in the future, she must get a big red envelope!
While Li Qingbai devoted himself to learning the art of war and strategy in the military camp, Li Qingsong also faced his own test: Chunwei.

The examination was held in the Confucius Temple to the north of Gongyuan Street. The Confucius Temple occupies a large area and is said to be composed of three major building complexes: Confucius Temple, Xuegong and Gongyuan.

In the spring, the general examination will take place. The first examination will be held at noon on the first day of April and will be held for three consecutive days.There are three exams in the entire examination.

This time, Li Xiao still accompanied his father and mother to send his eldest brother to the examination room. The family did not leave until he saw his eldest brother enter the examination room.

Because of their previous experience, this time, the Li family arranged for Shu Mo and Shu Yan to take turns waiting outside the examination room.

Although the weather is getting warmer in April, the weather is always changeable in the spring months.

On the second day of the first exam, it started to rain lightly in the capital, and on the third day it rained heavily.

Li Dashan and his wife, who were waiting at home, were extremely nervous as they looked at the sky. Even Li Xiao was afraid that his brother would accidentally get sick, which would affect his performance in the exam.

In fact, it's no wonder that the three of them were nervous, because it rained for three consecutive days, and the sun didn't come out until the second day of the second exam.

Then, candidates began to be carried out one after another.

Of course, those who were carried out were all those who were no longer able to answer the questions, and many who were already sick were still persisting.

In this way, Li Dashan and his wife became even more nervous.

Therefore, starting from the third day of the second session, the couple began to wait in person at the teahouse outside the examination room.

Li Xiao had no choice but to accompany him. After all, she was also a little worried.

　Two more.
