The Imperial Examination Blessed Wife in the Palm

Chapter 150

At noon, foreign guests began to arrive one after another.

Not only were there friends and partners from Li Chengdong's business field, but also those who couldn't even hit eight poles came. Yu also sent his master and nephew to congratulate him.

Many big families in the county also sent housekeepers to give gifts to congratulate.

Thanks to Li Che's reminder in advance, after Li Chengdong and the elders of the clan made a calculation, they felt that it might not be enough to set up three or five extra seats, so it was better to prepare more, since the weather was not too hot anyway, so they couldn't finish it the day before. Yes, just eat it the next day.

Simply prepare ten more seats.

Otherwise, with so many guests coming, I'm afraid there will be more in the future, but it will be a joke.

All the foreign guests who came to congratulate Xi were very generous. Apart from congratulatory gifts, there was no shortage of congratulatory silver.

All the people in the village are so envious that they click their tongues. How about the most lucrative job they come from, which is studying?
As long as you read a name, you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.

However, everyone is only envious, and they are not jealous or feel that there are too many people here, too much trouble. Well, the adults in the two families were also suffering, so it was easy to pull them out, but my own family couldn't do that.

Of course, my own children don't have that ability. Xiaowei and Ah Che are stars in the sky. How can I compare my children? If they can also study, my family will have to pay for it.

While discussing enviously, everyone still felt honored. How many "noble people" and "respectable people" have they seen today that they couldn't even get a face to face with in the past?

She is so respectable, no matter how envious people in other villages are, they can only watch him helplessly!
So the guests wanted to join in the show, and the host was warm and thoughtful, so it was natural for the guests and hosts to have a good time.

As today's absolute protagonists, Lu Weiwei and Li Che were naturally the focus of all the guests' flattery and toast.

Every time I arrived at a table, I immediately attracted a lot of good words and toasted, "Lu Xianggong and Li Xianggong are really young and promising, and they will become great talents in the future. You two are gentlemen, I dare not be rude Alright, I'll just drink three cups, you two just drink a little if you want to."

"I will do it first as a respect, and the two gentlemen can do whatever they want."

"I'll give the two gentlemen full credit, full credit..."

Fortunately, Xie Lingzhao was always by the side to block the wine for Lu Weiwei, and Li Che also deliberately blocked a lot of wine for Lu Weiwei, so that she didn't know how she would lose her composure because of drinking too much, and she might show her feet.

Everyone was eating, drinking and laughing, and after eating, the men started punching loudly and roughly.

In addition, although the troupe hadn't dressed up and began to sing formally in the second half of the banquet, there were small actors juggling in the crowd, making women and children laugh and clap their hands endlessly , the scene became extremely lively for a while.

It was lively until Shen Zheng, and the outsiders began to leave one after another. Lu Weiwei and Li Che finally got some leisure time and could sit down and catch their breath.

Xie Lingzhao saw that Lu Weiwei's face was flushed all the time, and she was fanning her hands all the time, so he quickly handed her a glass of warm water, "The luncheon dishes are all sour and salty, Lu Wei, you must be hungry, drink some water to moisturize Run it."

Wasn't Lu Weiwei so thirsty that her throat was about to smoke, but Mrs. Li and Aunt Li had been surrounded by the crowd, and Li Yue didn't know where to go.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lingzhao had blocked most of the wine for her, and could still notice such small details.

Lu Weiwei's heart was sweet for a moment, she took the water and drank it all in one go, then smiled and asked Xie Lingzhao, "Are you okay, after drinking so much wine, do you want to go back and lie down for a while? It will be fine at night, and we will be left alone , there should be no more persuasion, and we can all enjoy the banquet and watch the theater with peace of mind."

As he said that, he suddenly thought that whether it is a banquet or a play today, I am afraid that it will not be able to catch Xie Lingzhao's eyes.

He hurriedly said again: "Do you think it's too boring, you can't get used to it? There's no way, that's how the flowing water mats are set up in the village, and it's good enough for today. If you're not used to it, don't come to the dinner party. Tomorrow, you can also rest at your own home, and I will go to you when I am done."

But Xie Lingzhao said with a smile: "I think today's banquet is lively and relaxing. It's okay, at least it's better than the banquets I've sat in before. I drank a lot of wine, but I also ate a lot of food. The play I sang was also very interesting, what's the matter 'You drink tea as long as you drink tea, why are there so many nonsense', I almost laughed out loud after I understood it."

"You really think it's interesting?" Lu Weiwei raised her eyebrows.

But seeing that Xie Lingzhao's smile and relaxation did not seem to be fake, he felt relieved, "It's good that you can get used to it, and there should be no outside visitors tomorrow. After two days of busy work, my mother and I will go back Go to Lujiacun to visit my father's grave and tell him the good news, do you want to go back with us? Cough... I just want to introduce you to my father so that he can feel at ease there."

Before the words finished, Xie Lingzhao had already laughed and said, "Of course I want to go together! You and your aunt just pack your own things, and I will arrange the transportation and boat, so just leave it alone."

Even if Lu Wei didn't invite him to go with him, he would have the cheek to follow, otherwise he couldn't rest assured.

What's more, Lu Wei invited him and wanted to take him to visit the grave of his future father-in-law, so he had to go!
The two talked for a while, Xie Lingzhao saw that Lu Weiwei was getting closer and closer to him unconsciously, and the people around were busy watching the play, and no one noticed them.

Then he became distracted and said in a low voice: "Lu Wei, didn't you just ask me that I drank so much wine, okay? I didn't feel it just now, but now I feel a real pain in the head and blurred eyes. I'm afraid I have to go back Just lie down for a while. How about you help me go back?"

It just so happens that there is no one at home right now, so he can...

Lu Weiwei snorted, "You can still control your headache. It only hurts when you want to hurt, and it doesn't hurt when you don't want to hurt? If I don't know what your intentions are, you should get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise it will hurt me. If you missed something, let's see how I deal with you!"

Xie Lingzhao saw the coquettish and angry face on her face, and his heart itched even more, and he said in a low voice, "I will definitely be careful not to let you reveal my secrets...Really, my head hurts so much, just help me back. Otherwise, I will It's on your shoulders, anyway, everyone knows that I am with you, and I drank so much at noon, no one should think about it."

Lu Weiwei said to him, "It's strange if you don't think too much. Do you think that only Uncle Sheng and Laibao will think too much, and others won't? Anyway, be honest with me, cough, the days to come will be long .”

"Then we have to go later. It's like wishing for plum blossoms to quench thirst. What's the point?"

"Anyway, I drew a big cake for you. If you bargain again, I won't give you the big cake you drew. Just take it back."

"Then give it, Lu Wei, you are so stingy..."

The two whispered nonsense that only couples would find interesting, and others would find it boring after listening to it. Their hearts were filled with sweetness, and pink bubbles began to pop up around them invisible.

Li Che saw it from afar, and almost couldn't hold back several times, and went directly to break the invisible flow of affection between the two.

But after all, he still couldn't take that step.

He had already thought about it, taking advantage of today, taking advantage of the strength of wine, he solemnly confessed his love to Cousin Wei again, not saying that he must do something to her, but that she would give him a chance to compete fairly with Xie Lingzhao, anyway. Test the two of them for a while, don't make a conclusion so early.

It's a pity that now it seems that there is no need for this at all, right?

Cousin Wei's state when he was with Xie Lingzhao was really something that he would never have when he was with him. He really didn't lose to Xie Lingzhao's family background and wealth, but lost to Cousin Wei's heart, lost to Their love for each other!
It took Li Che a while to force himself to turn around and walk aside.

Just from the corner of the eye, he saw his mother and Li Xiu standing in the corner, looking at him eagerly, his heart became more and more sad, but suddenly a warm current poured into him.

In any case, his relatives are all fine, and he will make them better and better in the future, he should be content, there are some luxuries that don't belong to him, he shouldn't have thought about them in the first place... …

At a quarter of the hour, the dinner began to sit.

Because the patriarch said, "Everyone finished eating earlier, it is better to set off the fireworks earlier. After the fireworks are set off, we can continue to watch the theater. Today, everyone is open for me to have fun! Just a little, give me less wine, otherwise there will be troubles." Whatever happens, I can't spare any of them!"

Everyone sat down again happily, and began to enjoy the dinner.

But before the dishes were ready, there was an uninvited guest—Grandma Wu was carried by her sons and grandchildren.

When Grandma Wu saw Li Chengdong and Li Shi, she smiled and said: "Son-in-law, auntie, we are late for such a big happy event, we should be punished, we should be punished, let your brothers-in-law punish themselves three times later. .”

He also commanded his sons and grandchildren, "Hurry up and bring all the firecrackers and fireworks we bought. My own family's flesh and blood, such a big happy event, of course you have to support your family first."

Both Li Chengdong and Li's face turned cold.

Although it had already been calculated that as soon as the news of Xiaowei's winning the case spread, they would definitely have to face the ridiculous faces of those people who followed suit, but they didn't expect it to come so soon.

I didn't expect that it would be Grandma Wu's family who came first.

The brothers and sisters are still nauseated when they think about the shitty things their family did. It would have been utterly benevolent for them not to trouble them first. If they dare to come, then don't blame them for being rude!
But the brothers and sisters couldn't disregard Aunt Li's face and feelings at all. After all, it was always her mother, brothers and nephews, and the matter had already passed.

So they all looked at Aunt Li first to see what she meant.
