The Imperial Examination Blessed Wife in the Palm

Chapter 79 Is it true that you eat three meals a day?

When Li Shi and Aunt Li took Wang Ma away, Li Chang immediately changed his face. He rushed forward and grabbed Xie Lingzhao's skirt, "My surname is Xie, what do you want? I will be deceived by you, if you dare to make any bad ideas again, I will not spare you!"

Xie Lingzhao was really not used to having physical contact with people, so he knew that right now he should follow Li Chang's lead and try to stay as low as possible.

It was still instinctive to block his hand, because Li Chang obviously used strength, he must have to use more strength to free himself, and Li Chang staggered a bit before he finally snatched it. He returned his skirt and distanced himself from Li Chang.

So Li Chang became even angrier, "My surname is Xie, don't think that I dare not beat you, I will beat you so hard that you will find your teeth all over the place!"

Lu Weiwei supported her forehead.

Her cousin is usually considered steady, so why did he become a blast when he met Xie Lingzhao?
It can be seen that someone is too hateful, and it's all his own fault!

She hurriedly stepped forward to block between Li Chang and Xie Lingzhao, in case her cousin jumped up and grabbed Xie Lingzhao's lapel again, and said, "Cousin, cousin, don't worry, listen to me. My mother and I were in Zhuzhou yesterday. I met Xie Lingzhao in Xi Town, and my mother invited him to live with us last night, seeing that he was pitiful..."

Seeing that Li Chang was excited again, he hurriedly continued, "cousin, can you listen to me first? After Xie Lingzhao went to our house, he apologized to me many times, talked a lot, and helped us fetch water Sweeping the floor, my mother and I went out at night, and even made a fire for us to boil the bath water."

"Anyway, after knowing more about him, I found that he is actually not that bad. There are still merits. And what happened before is also understandable. He also took good care of me and my mother along the way today, and my mother insisted on Invite him to the house... This is probably the case. I will tell you the details later. Don't scold him, don't drive him away, and be polite to him, okay? Otherwise, you won't be the only one later If my aunt wants to talk about you, I guess your mother will talk about you too, and you will be at a big loss."

After all, there are really a lot of facial controls in this world, and the difference is only implicit or explicit.

But no matter whether it is hidden or explicit, Xie Lingzhao's face is undoubtedly capable of killing.

Li Chang still poked his neck, "Hmph, what merits can he have? Riding a horse in the street, whipping Brother Che, and scaring you with a snake, he has never done a good thing. It's strange if there are merits." Besides, it’s not what you said, my cousin. People’s sorrows and joys are not interlinked. Even if he has excuses, it can’t be a reason for him to act recklessly and harm innocent people? It turned out that you were the first to be deceived by him, and instead When he talked, you really, really pissed me off!"

"Uh..." Lu Weiwei was speechless.

Simply look at Xie Lingzhao and let him take the blame. She has tried her best, and she really can't handle it. Of course, he has to face it by himself.

Xie Lingzhao did not disappoint her, and bowed directly to Li Chang, "Brother Li Chang, it was all my fault before, even if there are excusable circumstances, it can't be the reason for my committing all kinds of wrongs, and it can't be changed. The result of my big mistake. I have apologized to Lu Wei many times, and now I solemnly apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me and give me a chance for everyone to turn hostility into friendship, and turn enemies into friends. I will definitely not Repeat."

After a pause, "Of course, you don't have to forgive me, but I won't give up, and I will always ask you to forgive me. I don't have the slightest bad intentions, because my mother passed away early, and I have been growing up since I was a child. I haven't felt much maternal love, but yesterday I felt the long-lost maternal love from Aunt Lu, so... In short, I solemnly apologize to Brother Li Chang, and I have paid you a lot, don't be as knowledgeable as me."

Li Chang was still angry just now, but now he was only shocked.

Looking at Lu Weiwei in disbelief, "He is, this is..."

Are you crazy?Or is it a different person, the person in front of him is no longer the previous Xie Lingzhao?

Lu Weiwei spread her hands, pulled him aside and whispered, "That's the situation. Anyway, I've heard his apology, and after getting along with him from yesterday to today, I think he still has merit, otherwise I No matter how good Mother has a good impression of him, it's useless to protect him. As for whether cousin should forgive him, it's up to you."

Li Chang is a child who eats soft but not hard.

If Xie Lingzhao had always been so arrogant and domineering, of course he would only hate him to the end.

But Xie Lingzhao suddenly said that he changed, and changed someone directly, and precisely because Xie Lingzhao was so hateful before, it made his thorough apology and low profile now more rare, and more surprising and touching.

Not to mention that Xie Lingzhao is obviously distinguished, everyone is born with a world of difference, and I don't know what kind of determination he made to achieve this step?

For a moment, Li Chang didn't know how to react.

After touching his nose for a while, he also whispered to Lu Weiwei: "Actually, thinking about it, he is not really unforgivable. It is true that he was wrong the first time, but if I don't force my way, he may not be able to treat Che Cousin whipped the whip, at most it hurt the passers-by and vendors. Anyway, his servants doubled the compensation afterwards, maybe the passers-by and vendors thought it was a good thing. The second time he stopped him indiscriminately We were looking for faults, but we didn’t succeed in the end, did we? The third time my cousin beat him up, maybe he’s not healed now, so it seems that we didn’t suffer much from the beginning to the end.”

Lu Weiwei laughed, "What does my cousin mean, that you forgive him?"

But Li Chang hesitated again, "Let me just forgive him like this, it seems that I can't do it, he was really hateful before. What's more, it was Brother Che who was injured at the beginning, brother Che must forgive him before I can forgive him He, otherwise, what would Brother Che think?"

Lu Weiwei nodded slowly, "The same is true for my cousin. Let's talk about it tomorrow after we ask cousin Che's meaning. But for my mother's sake, don't give him shame tonight and let everyone How about a raw meal? It’s actually not easy for him. Seeing that he is rich and powerful, he may be gold-plated in private. It’s much more difficult than us. We have to look at people from both sides, and we can’t just see one person Well, you can't see his bad; or you only see his bad, but you can't see his good."

Hearing this, Li Chang glanced at Xie Lingzhao.

Seeing that he bowed to the end, because he didn't ask him to get up, he really kept bowing and remained motionless, even if it was him, he might not be able to do it.

The disgust towards him in my heart faded again, and said to Lu Weiwei in a low voice: "Okay, for the sake of my aunt, I won't say anything tonight."——What, Xie Lingzhao, stop bowing, and the room Go sit down, although I still don't like you very much, I still understand the basics of hospitality, please."

Seeing what Li Chang had said, Lu Weiwei stepped forward with a smile, "Xie Lingzhao, you haven't bent your back yet? Go to the house, if you delay any longer, my mother will still think that my cousin and I have done something to you, I don't know. I'm about to come out and ask the teacher for the crime."

Xie Lingzhao heard the words, then stood up straight, and said to Li Chang: "Thank you, Brother Li Chang, for not getting into trouble with me. You have the audacity to cause trouble to your house tonight. I will also be strict with myself in the future, and I will never let the same things happen."

If he had to follow his heart, even though he knew he was wrong, he would not be able to humbly apologize to Li Chang.

He pestered Lu Wei to apologize because he wanted to be friends with him, and Li was so kind. He really wanted to have a long-term relationship with their mother and son, but he had no plans to be friends with Li Chang, even though he was Lu Wei's close relative. He didn't have that plan either.

Friends are precious but not many, as long as they are true friends, one is enough.

But Li Chang is Lu Wei's cousin, and they still live together. He wants to visit Lu Wei and Aunt Lu often, but he really can't get around Li Chang, his cousin, or the rest of the Li family.

Then he can only apologize to Li Chang, and ask Li Chang's forgiveness before he can talk about it in the future.

It was only after this meeting that Xie Lingzhao bowed and apologized. Of course, in his opinion, it was "bearing the burden of humiliation".

However, his "bear the burden of humiliation" seems to be useful now, and Li Chang also changed his attitude. Not to mention, the key point is that Lu Wei took the initiative to explain to him, and even protected him, caring about his back pain. This apology is worth it , Bow is also worth bowing!
Li Chang's anger had long since faded away, seeing that Xie Lingzhao was still so humble at this moment, he had exhausted it three times, and there was not much left.

Throwing down a sentence: "Xiaowei, you take the guests to sit in the main room, I will cut the watermelon first.", and entered the gate first.

Lu Weiwei greeted Xie Lingzhao with a smile, "Let's go, my cousin has always been sincere and informal, so he has forgiven you for the most part. After a long time, when he sees your strengths, he will definitely accept you completely. of."

Xie Lingzhao saw that he was about to go in after finishing speaking, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "Lu Wei, what I said yesterday about my family, can you and Aunt Lu not tell others? I don't want others to know, and I don't think others know. If necessary, that is my own business.”

It also saves those who talk about him openly and secretly at that time, or those who think they are kind and sympathetic to him. He has heard and watched too much, and he is already tired of it!

Lu Weiwei understood his thoughts as soon as she heard it, and also, who is willing to expose his wounds to everyone, and who is willing to accept other people's sympathy and pity? In many cases, it is a burden instead.

She then frowned and said, "What happened in your family, have you mentioned it? Why don't I remember?"

Originally he didn't say much, she only knew half of it, so Xie Lingzhao didn't say anything, and she didn't intend to tell others, now that he specifically told her, she naturally wouldn't say anything.

Xie Lingzhao's smile reached the bottom of his eyes, and it was obviously different from the smile he had when he talked to Li Chang just now, "Lu Wei, you are the number one student in the county school all the time. Why is your memory so bad? But it doesn't matter, so you don't remember now. After a long time, I will know little by little.”

Lu Weiwei curled her lips, "I don't want to know. Someone seems to have forgotten. I haven't completely forgiven him yet, and I haven't made him a friend? I can't get in. If I don't, I'll go back."

Immediately entered the gate.

Xie Lingzhao saw it, and hurriedly followed in, "Of course I'm going in."

The two entered the main room one after the other, and Li Chang happened to come in with a sliced ​​watermelon, "Cousin,... Xie Lingzhao, eat watermelon. My mother said half an hour at most, and then dinner can be served."

Lu Weiwei greeted Xie Lingzhao to sit down, seeing that he seemed a little reserved, she handed him another piece of melon, picked up a piece of melon herself, and started to eat.

After eating two mouthfuls, Li Yue brought Li Sheng in, "Cousin, you are back, tomorrow we can watch the dragon boat race together as a family."

"Brother, I finished my handwriting tomorrow, and my sister also checked it and said that my writing is good. So don't even think about sending me extra tasks tomorrow, I want to have a good time..."

The two siblings heard that Li Shi and Lu Weiwei had returned from Li Yue's room upstairs, but they still waited until Li Sheng finished writing before going downstairs to look for Lu Weiwei. Naturally, they didn't know that there were guests at home.

It was only when she saw a strange man in the room that she reacted abruptly, and Li Yue hurriedly tried to avoid it.

Lu Weiwei hurriedly smiled and said: "Cousin, this is my cousin's classmate, we have already met each other, so there is no need to avoid it? Sit down and eat watermelon."

She has always disdained to obey such dross as the so-called "great defense of men and women", and she does not want to see the people around her be shackled.

Li Chang didn't think it was a big deal, the big family only paid attention to those red tapes, their family was far away from the big family, and his sister would have to be restrained in his own home, so what's the fun of life?
Yin also said: "Yes sister, sit down and eat melons, my cousin and I are here, so others can't say anything when they see each other."

Then he said to Li Sheng, "As long as you finish the prescribed tasks well, when will my words count as nothing?"

Li Sheng cheered immediately, "Tomorrow we can have fun!"

Seeing Xie Lingzhao, Lu Weiwei seemed to be getting more and more uncomfortable, and Li Yue kept her head down, thinking that she hadn't introduced each other yet, because she said with a smile: "Xie Lingzhao, this is my cousin and cousin Li Sheng. My cousin used to be a female student. Cousin is studying in Zhang Family Academy now. Cousin, A Sheng, this is Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie."

Li Yue hurriedly brought Li Sheng to meet Xie Lingzhao, "Thank you, Young Master."

After seeing the ceremony, he felt uncomfortable after all, so he made an excuse: "I'll go to the kitchen to help my mother and aunt.", got up and left the main room.

The rest of Lu Weiwei saw that Li Chang and Xie Lingzhao didn't speak, they were obviously the ones who couldn't stop talking, but now they both chose to keep their mouths shut, as if they were just competing to eat watermelon, you and me together, very happy Quickly ate half of the table's watermelon rinds.

I can't help but feel tired for a while, and she doesn't know how to find topics, and won't stir up the atmosphere, okay?Don't they feel embarrassed?
Fortunately, there was Li Sheng who said a few words from time to time, "Cousin, it's hot early this year, I think I can go down to the river to take a bath soon, my brother and I will teach you how to use water this year How?... You have to learn, people who grew up by the river, how many people don't know water... Didn't they just drown in water when they were young? It's been so many years, you are still afraid, it's not you The most direct way to overcome difficulties is to face them, this year my eldest brother and I must teach you!"

The atmosphere in the main room will not be silent and awkward all the time.

After a while, Mrs. Li came in with a smile and said that dinner is ready.

Because of the addition of Xie Lingzhao as a guest, even if Li Yue and him did not avoid him just now, there is no reason for strange men and women to eat at the same table when they meet for the first time.

Two tables were set up for dinner, Li Shi, Aunt Li and Li Yue at one table, and Li Chang, Lu Weiwei, Xie Lingzhao and Li Sheng at one table.

As a result, it was inconvenient for Mrs. Li to pick up food for Xie Lingzhao, so she handed over the task to Lu Weiwei, "Xiaowei, it's the first time Ah Zhao is here, so he definitely won't be able to let him go. You should pay attention to pick up more food for him and take care of him." He."

During the dinner, Xie Lingzhao was greeted across the table many times, "Azhao, don't be polite, eat more. You only took care of me and Xiaowei at noon, so you didn't eat well."

"I steamed this fish. You can't eat it too spicy. This is just right. You should eat more."

"Meatballs are my sister-in-law's specialty, you can't eat them outside, eat more..."

Seeing that Li Chang was almost sore, Fu Er said to Lu Weiwei: "What kind of ecstasy soup did he give my aunt to treat him so well? It's almost better than your own son. Now let's tell my aunt that he How hateful, Auntie wouldn't believe it, would she?"

Lu Weiwei whispered back, "I also want to know, is it possible that my mother gave birth to a child before me? Or did he have a face that would make a mother overflowing with maternal love when she saw him?"

Xie Lingzhao, who was jealous of the two, was not happy at the moment.

It was so hard to have the cheek to stay Cengfan, but in the end he couldn't sit at the same table with Aunt Lu, and couldn't let Aunt Lu's mother serve him food.

After that, no matter how brazen he came to the door, wouldn't it be the same result?

Also, Lu Wei and Li Chang are also too close. Don't two big men find it strange that they need to be so close?

I have never seen any cousins ​​like this!
On the surface, he didn't show it at all, he always had a gentle smile, and he was good-looking, after all, he was born to be a wealthy and noble son, no matter what, etiquette and upbringing were all engraved in his bones.

In this way, his appearance became better and more deceitful, making it almost impossible to move his eyes away.

When the meal was over later, Xie Lingzhao sat for a while, then took his leave and left. Mrs. Li asked Lu Wei and Li Chang to send him out.

Aunt Li immediately pulled Mrs. Li into the yard, and she couldn't hide her excitement and said in a low voice: "Sister, Mr. Xie knew that he was a good young master at a glance, but I haven't heard that there is a big family with the surname Xie in the county." Man, I don't think his accent looks like our Tianquan's. Could it be that he is from outside? Does the younger sister know where he is from? I think he looks very handsome, and he is also Achang Xiaowei's classmate, so he knows everything. , if we Ah Yue..."

I didn't say anything later, but it was enough for Mrs. Li to understand.

He hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, you should get rid of your thoughts. Ah Zhao himself didn't say that he looks good and has a good temper, but he is from the capital, and he is the young master of a big family in the capital. According to him, his family is also There are stepmothers and stepmothers and everyone, it’s very messy, how can we, Ah Yue, handle it? Maybe it’s not long since we married, and we’ve already eaten so much that there are no bones left. We are far away, and we don’t know anything. .”

"Ten thousand steps back, even if we know, what can we do? Can we offend the big family in the capital? At that time, let alone seek justice for Ah Yue, I am afraid that I will have to fill in the limit. Of course, I It's just in case, but Lier is such a rationale, please think about it carefully, sister-in-law."

Mrs. Li likes Xie Lingzhao and sympathizes with him, that's why she treats him so well.

A child without a mother is a grass, and I don't know what kind of life he has lived these years. He has no mother, and her Xiaowei has no father. They can be regarded as a pair of difficult brothers.

But no matter how much she likes to cherish, compared with Li Yue, Li Yue must be more important, and Li Yue's life is more important.

So knowing that Aunt Li was having a good time at the moment, she had no choice but to be a villain and pour cold water on Aunt Li.

Fortunately, Aunt Li and my sister-in-law have been real aunts and sisters in these years. They are different from other sisters-in-law. After splashing Li Shi's cold water, she was only annoyed for a moment, and then calmed down, saying: "Young Master Xie is actually from the capital. That's really inappropriate, so far away, wouldn't it mean that I won't see Ah Yue once in three to five years? No, no, I have to keep her under my nose so that I can feel at ease."

After a pause, "But since he is a master of the capital, what is he doing in our small place? Isn't the capital ten times better than Tianquan?"

Li Shi said: "I only heard a few words from him. It should be that the family can't tolerate it. Who can a child without a mother count on? Stepfather? After all, sister-in-law don't mention this anymore. After I invite him, I will often If you come to the house for dinner, you just treat him like A Che, that's all."

Aunt Li said "hmm", "Since we are classmates of Achang and Xiaowei, we can come to our house as soon as we come, and there is no need for a pair of chopsticks. Hey, I thought that when the time came, Ayue's affairs would have some clues." ,who knows……"

Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, our good girl, Ayue, will definitely marry the best boy and the best family, but that person hasn't appeared yet, when the fate comes, he will naturally appear Yes. I am also a mother, and I understand sister-in-law's heart, but in front of Ah Yue, sister-in-law must never reveal anything."

"I understand it in my heart."

Aunt Li sighed, "But I still can't help being anxious, it's all my mother's fault... those nasty people, if they hadn't played tricks, Ah Yue's marriage might have been settled, but now it's... It's only so small, who doesn't know who? I'm afraid I can't expect it in this county, but I'm worried about it far away. Finally, Mr. Xie came here today. I think it's about the same age as Ah Yue. It's all quite, but..."

Before they finished speaking, Lu Weiwei and Li Chang finished seeing off Xie Lingzhao, turned back, and just heard Aunt Li's last words.

Li Chang immediately became anxious, but luckily he still kept his voice down, "Mom, what do you mean by that? Is it possible that you are planning to marry your sister to Xie Lingzhao? It's absolutely impossible. Xie Lingzhao is very hateful, he, he... ...Anyway, this is not okay, don't think he looks good, he looks like a nobleman, and he has missed his sister's life! Auntie, you too, you can't just mess up the mandarin ducks just because you like Xie Lingzhao!"

Lu Weiwei saw that he was getting more and more excited as he talked, so she hurriedly pulled him, "Cousin, please keep your voice down, in case my cousin can't hear you upstairs, right? You should listen to what my aunt and mother have to say, what if it's not what you think? "

Mrs. Li also said angrily: "That's right, why do you hear that the wind is the rain? Your mother just said something for nothing. After I told her that Ah Zhao came from the capital, I gave up the idea. Her mother, Only the one who loves Ah Yue more than you as an elder brother, and hopes for Ah Yue's well-being, should you tell me?"

After a pause, "Okay, let's all go back to the room to wash up and go to bed early, don't we have to get up early to watch the dragon boat race tomorrow?"

Only then did Li Chang realize that he had misunderstood, and Lu Weiwei laughed again, "Look, I'll say it's not what my cousin thinks. I'll see if you still take it out of context in the future."

He couldn't help becoming more embarrassing, and after greeting Aunt Li and Mrs. Li, he went back to his room first.

Although Mrs. Li said just now that Aunt Li had given up on it, Lu Weiwei knew very well that Li Yue's marriage had already become Aunt Li's heart disease. Well, the good ones must be in the future... Yun Yun couldn't heal her heart disease.

After washing up, he said to Li: "Mother, Xie Lingzhao is good-looking, and his thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness are just appearances, and maybe it's just what he wants us to see, but we don't know what he is like in private, You must try to persuade my aunt, you must let her give up completely. Cousin is a simple person, really not suitable for a big family like them. "

Li Shibai said to her, "You don't need to say it, I know it in my heart, otherwise I wouldn't have persuaded your aunt just now. As for the big families in our county, don't you often hear how the old woman punishes the concubine, the little concubine?" How does the concubine disrespect the old woman, and the children born to each other are also fighting to the death? The big families in the capital must be worse. Our family can’t afford food. Your cousin can definitely marry someone with a simple family and a good family style , still guarding her mother's house, I don't know how easy it is to live, I was stupid to climb that tall branch, so that I can live without worry every day!"

Lu Weiwei let out a breath, "It's best for mother to think like this, I hope my aunt can think like this too, really, it's a blessing to be ordinary. You also persuade some aunts, don't be so anxious, as if the sky is about to collapse , although she doesn't say it, it's not like I can't see it. I can see it, and my cousin can also see it. How does it make her feel? Let's wait until my cousin and I finish the exam next year, and it won't be too late for my aunt to come back in a hurry Ah, there is always a way for the car to go forward.”

"It's not easy for your aunt to be a mother."

Mrs. Li sighed, "Your cousin's marriage has not been settled for a day, and she can't help but worry for a day. This is the case with any mother. If you don't believe me, if you ask your third aunt, she must have the same heart. Wait for you in the future If you become a mother yourself, then you..."

After all the words were out of my mouth, I realized what I had said belatedly, and stopped in a hurry, "Well, anyway, I will persuade your aunt, Xiaowei, don't worry about it, go to bed early , take another day off tomorrow, you should go to school the day after tomorrow, and you should take care of yourself."

In her heart, she regretted her unrestrained speech, and was also worried. The sister-in-law always saw the day when Ah Yue got married and became a mother, but she didn't know when she would get it, and she couldn't even see that day in this life, right?
Thoughts flashed by, Li's heart became more and more uncomfortable, and he was about to turn around and go out.

Lu Weiwei quickly stopped her, "Mother, don't be like my aunt, who also thinks that the sky is going to collapse. No one knows what will happen in the future. What we can do is to live well in the present and let ourselves not have any regrets. What do you say?" Woolen cloth?"

Mrs. Li forced a smile, "I won't be like your aunt. You choose the path yourself. As long as you really like it and are really happy, mother will support you unconditionally. Okay, I'm going back to my room, so hurry up sleep."

Then the mother and daughter said goodbye and took a rest.

The next morning, Lu Weiwei got up with a yawn. When she got out of the room, Li Chang came looking for her, with a not-so-good face, "Cousin, Xie Lingzhao is here."

"Ah?" Lu Weiwei was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's so early in the morning, what is he doing here?"

Li Chang snorted and said, "I said I came to give a gift, and then I came to formally thank my aunt for staying with him, and formally apologized to Brother Che and us. He brought a lot of presents. Who doesn't know that he is rich, As for showing off?"

"Then where is the person at this moment?... Already in the main room?"

"Not only that, my mother and aunt were very happy, and they praised him for what he wanted, which is too polite. When I came to call you, my aunt had already invited him to watch the dragon boat race with us later, and she would also come to the house to join us for lunch. We ate together."

Lu Weiwei gritted her teeth involuntarily.

Will Xie Lingzhao really want to come to their house for three meals a day as he said in the future?
She greeted Li Chang, "Come on, let's go to the main room to have a look."

The two brothers and sisters soon arrived in the main room, and they saw that Xie Lingzhao, who had changed into jade-colored clothes, looked more and more like a crown of jade, was talking to Mrs. Li and Aunt Li. It's all led by Jingzhao Mansion, but whoever wins and loses is determined in advance, in fact, it is far less lively and exciting than Tianquan's dragon boat race."

Both Mrs. Li and Aunt Li were full of smiles and yearning, "It must be different from our small place. I don't know if I will have the opportunity to visit the capital in this life and see the world?"

Xie Lingzhao smiled: "When Lu Wei and Brother Li Chang get nominated for the gold medal in the future and stay in the capital as officials, Aunt Lu and Mrs. Li are afraid that there will be no chances? There must be opportunities."
