The Imperial Examination Blessed Wife in the Palm

Chapter 157

The busy people in the village saw Li Shi and Lu Weiwei coming, and greeted the mother and daughter with busy smiles, "Aunt Qian and Xiaowei are here."

"Hurry up and bring tea to Aunt Qian, Xiaowei and Mr. Xie. Uncle specially brought good tea from his own house."

"Sister-in-law Qian, Xiaowei, sit here, there is no wind blowing here... Hey, how many years has it been since our village has been so lively? It's all thanks to Xiaowei..."

Both Lu Weiwei and Li Shi couldn't help being polite, "Let's come by ourselves, we are not guests."

"It's not my fault, it's because I have caused trouble for uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law."

Everyone continued to get busy with their own work.

But there is no need to help today, and the villagers who are just waiting for the lively dinner have arrived one after another, and continue to chat and laugh around Mrs. Li and Lu Weiwei, "I have been married to our village for more than ten years, and this is the first time. It's so lively!"

"What is this? There will still be excitement in the future. Our Xiaowei is a star of Wenqu, what is a master of a scholar, in the future, he will definitely be a master of Juren, a high official, and maybe he will go to the capital!"

"Sister-in-law Qian, I remember that Xiaowei is fifteen, right? It's time to marry a daughter-in-law. When the daughter-in-law comes in, she will give you a big fat grandson next year. You can just wait and enjoy the blessing."

"That's right, Xiaowei should get married, right? Sister-in-law, my natal cousin married to Qingxi. The family life is very good, and the daughter is also beautiful and capable. Otherwise, I will bring a letter today and let her know I brought my daughter here early in the morning, do you see?"

"Your cousin's daughter is from Qingxi, from a long way away, how can it be compared to the people in our own village who know everything? Brothers and sisters, my Xiaocui, you know it, and the whole village knows it. She was born after her three older brothers, and she will definitely be like me in the future, cough...how about we get married?"

"Your Xiaocui is tall and thick, and she deserves Xiaowei's personality and appearance. This is not a dream..."

After a while, the topic turned to Lu Weiwei's marriage. All those who have daughters of the right age at home, or have daughters of the right age among relatives and friends, are going crazy.

If such a son-in-law who rides the dragon quickly does not grab it early, he will regret it for the rest of his life!
Lu Weiwei couldn't laugh or cry, what's the matter, her mother and uncles never urged her to get married, but a group of irrelevant people got angry first?
Li Shi also couldn't laugh, if Xiaowei was really her son, of course she was not only proud, but proud at the moment.

After all, her son is so popular, which mother can be unhappy and proud?
The problem is that Xiaowei is a daughter, so it is impossible for her to marry a wife...

Mrs. Li could only pretend to be reserved and deal with everyone, "Xiaowei is still young, so I don't think about these things for the time being, don't think about it."

"Fifteen is not young, but she has her own ideas when she is a child. She told me long ago that she would not think about these things if she did not do something big first. Thank you for your kindness. Let's talk about it later. Let's talk about it later. ..."

But the enthusiasm of the seven aunts and the eight aunts still couldn't be stopped, "There is no conflict between doing big things and marrying a wife. Marry a wife first, and then you can do big things with more peace of mind, right?"

"That's right, sister-in-law Qian doesn't want to have a grandson..."

Lu Weiwei couldn't help having a toothache.

Well, she has to coax her jealousy again, and she has to agree to countless "loss of power and humiliation of the country" conditions.

Taking a glance from the corner of the eye, he saw Xie Lingzhao's cold face, and seeing Lu Weiwei finally looked over, he immediately sneered, and said he was stupid, they were all from the same family, wouldn't the family still attract others?
Fortunately, the old patriarch arrived immediately.

Hearing the words of the women, he immediately said in a bad mood: "Everyone is daydreaming, with Xiaowei's character, talent and appearance, he can marry a daughter of a wealthy family, why should I be wronged to marry your daughter and niece? He is still young, so if he marries a daughter-in-law, a man should start his career first."

"Xiaowei, don't listen to their nonsense, continue to read your book at ease, uncle and the big guys are still waiting for you to be admitted to the master of Juren, master of Jinshi, let us all in Lujia Village follow suit! It's all gone, gone, who dares to talk to Xiaowei and his mother again, don't blame me for being rude..."

With a few words, the group of women were dispersed, and Li Shi and Lu Weiwei were finally saved.

Lu Weiwei finally spoke to Xie Lingzhao alone, "Tsk, why is your face so stinky, whoever borrowed your rice didn't even pay back the bran? Oh, they just said it casually, and my mother and I also took a bite." I just refused, Master Xie just don't remember the faults of villains, so don't worry about it?"

Xie Lingzhao snorted, "Okay, it's okay to not care about it, it depends on whether you understand or not."

"Then how sensible is it? Don't let the lion open your mouth, otherwise extreme joy will turn into sorrow, and it will be too late to regret it."

"How dare I, I'm easily satisfied..."

The two whispered for a while, and Xie Lingzhao finally had a smile on his face.

Mrs. Cao also brought Wang Pan's younger brother, Sun Lanhua, over. Seeing Mrs. Li and Lu Weiwei, she immediately smiled apologetically, "Boss daughter-in-law, Xiaowei, that..."

Xie Lingzhao intentionally let Mrs. Li sell it to them in public, so that they would not dare to gossip and be full of bad water in the future.

He said directly: "I have been thinking about it all night, I can intercede with the head of the village for you, and ask him to release all the men in your family and not serve the corvee for the time being. You don't have to thank the master, if you want to thank, thank Aunt Lu and Lu Wei Well, if they hadn't pleaded for you, I wouldn't bother to care about these crap things, although it's just a matter of my words."

Cao was so angry that he had a headache.

What does it mean to 'intercede with the chief for them'?
Isn't it his fault, isn't it the men in the family that he harmed?
For him to say this, it's as if they owed him so much, and also owed Li's mother and son so much!
Sure enough, they were singing double reeds, and they really had colluded with each other a long time ago, one was the bad guy and the other was the good guy.

But no matter how angry and hated Cao was, she didn't dare to show it, for fear of offending Xie Lingzhao again.

It's just a matter of one sentence, but for their whole family, it is no less than a catastrophe, how can it be provoked?
I had to force a smile, and thanked Xie Lingzhao, Li Shi, and Lu Weiwei, "Thank you, son, and thank you to the eldest daughter-in-law, Xiaowei. Our family will live a good life in the future, and we will stop thinking about it and talking about it." .”

Brother Wang Pan and Sun Lanhua also blushed and thanked, "Thank you, son, and thank you, sister-in-law and Xiaowei."

I always feel that everyone is watching them and talking about them in a low voice, and I am so ashamed that I wish there could be a crack in the ground so that they can crawl in.

But I can't hide and go home immediately, otherwise people in the village will think they are dissatisfied, and I don't know what to say about their family; It's time to eat it back!
Everyone in the village was indeed looking at them, and they inevitably exchanged glances and whispered something.

But that's all, everyone won't say too much openly, after all, there are things on their minds, Lu Youcheng's family is really not popular on weekdays, and Xiao Wei will soon be a scholar, everyone has to take his credit , Of course, there are some things that need to be turned a blind eye.

So such a small episode quickly passed away without a trace, and it was revealed.

After a while, foreign guests began to arrive one after another—such as the masters of several big families in the town, and the old folks from other towns.

The patriarch brought the elders of the clan, plus Lu Weiwei, the absolute protagonist of today, to welcome and entertain the guests.

After a while, the head of the village also arrived with a smile on his face, "Little Mr. Lu is really the pride of our Zhuxi. Mr. Shen was not a scholar who passed the exam once, let alone the leader of the case. But Mr. Lu won the exam once." Let’s get to the bottom of the matter, he’s still so young, he will definitely be like Mr. Shen in the future, he will be a high official and a cabinet elder, let Zhuxi be like Qingxi, set up archways one by one. Let’s Zhuxi be like Qingxi Everyone knows it!"

Lu Weiwei hurriedly smiled modestly, "You're absurd, I really don't dare to take it for granted, I can't even compare to Mr. Shen, how can I compare with Mr. Shen? Please don't say that again, otherwise I will feel ashamed .”

The head of the village still had a proud expression on his face. Those who didn’t know it thought it was his family’s nephew who had hit the top of the case, “Little Mr. Shen, don’t be modest, you are so young, everything is possible. We are all optimistic about you, My children and grandchildren can have [-]% of you, I will wake up laughing from my dreams."

Then he asked Li Chengdong why he didn't see him, "Isn't Uncle Ling not coming today? I also promised to have a few drinks with him!"

Lu Weiwei smiled and said: "If you want to come, my uncle's whole family will come later, and of course they will come to support me and my mother on such a happy day. Then you go to the table first, and my uncle will arrive later , let him accompany you for a few drinks."

He led the chief to sit down at the banquet, and saw that all the foreign guests had already settled down, he was secretly relieved, fortunately there were a lot fewer people today, otherwise his cheeks would be sore from laughing again.

Before the banquet started, Li Chengdong and Aunt Li arrived with Li Chang and Li Sheng. Only Li Yue did not come because she was not feeling well.

The whole family brought a few baskets of firecrackers and firecrackers. In the words of Li Chengdong: "On such a happy day, how can I, as an uncle, not come? Come hold it up!"

So amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, the old patriarch announced the opening of the banquet, "The banquet is open, let's toast together—"
