The Imperial Examination Blessed Wife in the Palm

Chapter 80 Killing both men and women
These words were so clever that Mrs. Li and Aunt Li laughed more and more, "Then I will accept Azhao/Mr. Xie's good words."

It was Xie Lingzhao who saw Lu Wei first, got up and smiled, "Lu Wei, you are here."

Hearing this, Lu Weiwei acted as if he was the host and she was the guest. She hissed and said, "What are you doing here? I didn't hear you say you were coming last night."

Mrs. Li hurriedly scolded with a smile: "Xiaowei, what did you say? Azhao is a guest, and he came to give us a boxing gift. Be polite to him. He will return you, Achang, and Ache They all prepared presents, saying that they apologized for your previous misunderstandings, so please stop holding on, we will all be good classmates and good friends from now on."

Xie Lingzhao said: "After going back last night, the old servant at home, the Uncle Sheng whom you and Brother Li Chang met before asked me where I was going for the past two days, and learned that I had received a lot of care from Aunt Lu, and I was also taken care of by Aunt Lu yesterday. After receiving the hospitality from Aunt Lu and Mrs. Li, I told me that it’s just a holiday, and it’s time to prepare the etiquette, so I’d like to come to the door to formally thank the host.”

"I thought so, so I asked Uncle Sheng to prepare some gifts for me. I also thought that I didn't apologize formally in person when I offended you last time. I felt really sorry, so I asked Uncle Sheng to prepare some more gifts. I rushed over here. I hope Lu Wei and Brother Li Chang can forgive me."

Lu Weiwei and Li Chang looked at each other when they heard the words, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Lu Weiwei was fine with that, because she got along with Xie Lingzhao more, knew him better, and beat him up before, but in fact she didn't have any bad feelings towards him in her heart.

Otherwise, she couldn't let it count that he entered the house in Lu's Village the night before, and entered the house in Li's house last night.

But she can't, uh... betray her cousin and cousin Che?She must go with them, and they will forgive her only if they forgive her.

Li Chang was more troubled than her.

Is this forgiving or not forgiving?
Don't forgive, Xie Lingzhao is sincere enough; forgive, what should he explain to Brother Che, and the one named Xie might snatch his sister away...

Just as he was thinking wildly, Xie Lingzhao said again: "Lu Wei, Brother Li Chang, I want to go to Brother Li Che's house now, apologize to him face to face, and beg him to forgive me, I wonder if you can guide me? "

Li Chang came back to his senses in response, thought for a while, and said: "Okay, my cousin and I will take you to Brother Che's house. If he forgives you, we will forgive you. Let's go."

Mrs. Li and Aunt Li didn't quite understand the "resentment" between them, so they hurriedly said, "Maybe Ah Che's family is having breakfast right now, why don't you guys have breakfast?"

"Yeah, Xiaowei and Achang, you go after eating, and Azhao, you have eaten, so you can add some more."

The three of them thought so, so they ate breakfast, and then went to Li Che's house together with presents.

Li Che was chopping firewood in the yard. He saw Lu Weiwei and Li Chang first, and he was smiling all over his face, "Cousin Xiaowei, Achang, why are you here? Didn't you say that you are going to watch the dragon boat race today? I'm still Xiaowei." Cousin didn't come back..."

When I saw Xie Lingzhao who was following the two of them again, I couldn't laugh anymore, "Xie Lingzhao, what are you doing at my house?"

Lu Weiwei hurriedly wanted to speak.

Xie Lingzhao had put down the gift first, and said, "Brother Li Che, I'm here to apologize for what happened before. It was all my fault before. I hope you, my lord, can forgive me. I will definitely not do it again in the future."

After finishing speaking, he bowed to the end just like yesterday.

Although Li Che is only Lu Wei's distant cousin and has a much longer relationship with him than Li Chang, Lu Wei obviously thinks highly of him, so for this trip today, Xie Lingzhao felt that he had to leave. Ju must also.

It's just that Xie Lingzhao doesn't like Li Che after all. They have been in the same class for several years, but they haven't said a word before the last incident, except that they are born in different worlds, and it seems that their auras are not in harmony with each other.

So the apology was much shorter than what he said to Li Chang yesterday, and it was enough to express the meaning clearly.

Li Che was even more surprised, and asked Lu Weiwei and Li Chang what was going on with his eyes, did Xie Lingzhao take the wrong medicine?

Lu Weiwei had no choice but to pull him aside again, explaining in this way

Only now did Li Che understand, and he simply agreed to forgive Xie Lingzhao, "It's all in the past, I've already forgotten about it, Mr. Xie doesn't have to worry about it anymore, please get up quickly."

He is not a meddlesome person, many times many things can pass, just let it pass, not because he is weak and incompetent, in fact, the poor can't care too much, and he doesn't have that time to waste.

According to the previous events, apart from the whip he received, he actually didn’t suffer any other disadvantages. On the contrary, Xie Lingzhao was beaten up by his cousin Wei last time. I got it back.

Then why should he be so fussy, I didn't see that Cousin Wei and Brother Chang wanted to forgive Xie Lingzhao very much, but it's not easy to forgive because of him?

Of course he couldn't make things difficult for them anymore.

Xie Lingzhao thought that he could at most make Li Che change his opinion of him today, at least it would take a few more days before he could let him forgive him, so Li Chang, especially Lu Wei, would naturally forgive him.

Unexpectedly, Li Che was so eloquent, Xie Lingzhao didn't care that he and Li Changyuan didn't forgive him, but he was relieved that he could go back and forth with Lu Wei and Aunt Lu with peace of mind in the future.

He straightened up and laughed because he was busy: "Brother Li Che is really a big man, I thought... Anyway, thank you very much, I will definitely not do it again in the future. These gifts are prepared by me for Brother Li Che and your father Lingtang. Don't be disgusted."

Li Che subconsciously wanted to decline, "No need, it's nothing..."

Lu Weiwei interrupted him with a smile, "Cousin Che, you can accept it. My cousin and I also accepted it, otherwise Xie Lingzhao can't be at ease, right?"

Li Chang also echoed, "Yes, Brother Che, just accept it. We are all classmates. Even if there is no previous incident, today is a holiday, so we should reciprocate it. By the way, when it comes to holidays, you really don't care about it later." Do you want to go to the dragon boat race? It’s only once a year, brother Che, and he brought Aunt Gen and Sister Xiu to the fun. If you want to go, come with us later, right?”

At that time, Li Che's mother was waiting for his father to clean his body, so even though she heard someone coming from the house, she didn't bother to come out to say hello.

However, Li Xiu was in the kitchen next to her, because other than Lu Weiwei and Li Chang, there was also a strange man named Xie Lingzhao, so it was difficult to come out.

Hearing Li Chang's words now, he couldn't care less about avoiding suspicion, so he hurriedly leaned half his body out from the kitchen and said, "Brother, go, go, you can't stay at home and read every day, your eyes can't stand it." .My mother is also tired from morning to night every day. It's rare that today is a holiday, so I took her to relax for half a day? It's only half a day, and I can't miss many things, okay, brother?"

When Li Chang asked Li Che to watch the dragon boat race together, Li Xiu wanted to go.

But Li Che said that he wanted to read books at home, and Li Cheniang also said that there were many things at home, so she told her not to go, otherwise she would have to go with Aunt Li and Li Yue. Isn't it just a waste of trouble?

Li Xiu was full of grievances, but she was used to it, so she had no choice but to not go.

I didn't want Li Chang to talk about this matter again at this moment, and Lu Weiwei came with him, so Li Xiu couldn't help but want to go again.

She hasn't seen Cousin Wei for a long time, and Cousin Wei hasn't taught her to read and write for a long time!

Seeing his younger sister's eager eyes, Li Che obviously wanted to go, but he didn't dare to say that he wanted to go, he only said that he wanted to take his mother to go for a walk for half a day, but she was tired from morning till night, Is there no downtime?

My heart couldn't help feeling sour for a while.

The words of promise also blurted out, "Of course, then we will go with my aunt, Aunt Lu, and the big guys later. I will tell my mother that she must go with us. It will only take an hour or two That's all, dad is fine at home alone."

He smiled and said to Li Chang, "Brother Chang, then you go back first, wait for us for a while, after we pack up, we will go and have a round with you."

Li Xiu smiled like a flower in an instant, looked at Lu Weiwei and said, "Cousin Wei, I just have a few questions I want to ask you. Sister Yue has also taught me to recognize a lot of words these days. When I turn around, Cousin Wei is free. I will write Here you go, see you later."

Lu Weiwei smiled and nodded, "Okay, see you later."

Xie Lingzhao also bid farewell to Li Che for the time being, left a gift, and went back to Li's house with Lu Weiwei and Li Changxian.

Aunt Li, Mrs. Li and everyone in the family have packed up, and they can go out when they come back.

As soon as they came back, Aunt Li smiled and told Li Chang, "Achang, I guess there are a lot of people today, you go to the pier first to get a good seat, so that we won't even have to stand there when we arrive later." None. Ask Uncle Wang to go with you, and bring some umbrellas, the sun will not be too small today."

Li Chang answered "Yes" and said: "Then I'll go first, mother and aunt wait for brother Che, mother and son, and brother Che said they will go too."

Aunt Li smiled and said, "It's really rare that your Third Aunt is willing to relax. How did you persuade her and Ah Che? Then let's wait a while."

Mrs. Li smiled and said to Xie Lingzhao: "Azhao, please wait a moment, you should be able to leave soon. Xiaowei, you can talk to Azhao, I will only talk to your aunt about the boss's parents. If the Xi family is short, he might not like to hear it, but you are classmates, so you must have a lot to talk about."

Lu Weiwei happened to have something to say to Xie Lingzhao, so she beckoned him to go away a few steps, and said with a low smile: "I am impressed by your attitude yesterday and today, it seems that someone really wants the prodigal son to turn back ?”

Xie Lingzhao saw that he had finally talked to him like he had whispered to Li Chang yesterday. In fact, because there were too many people standing between him and Lu Weiwei's mother and child, his agitated heart finally felt relieved.

Subconsciously getting closer to Lu Weiwei, he smiled and said, "I really want to make friends with you, and I really respect Aunt Lu, so naturally I have to show my sincerity."

Everyone didn't notice that Li Yue went back home.

She came out again later and changed her clothes. Aunt Li found out first and said with a smile: "Why did Ah Yue change her clothes? Didn't you say that it's too hot today and there are so many people? Dust and sweat, don't you want to get your new clothes dirty?"

Seeing that everyone's attention was on her because of Aunt Li's words, Li Yue felt a little unnatural, and smiled after a while: "The clothes I just wore are a little thick, and I feel hot and stuffy before I get out in the sun. So I changed into a lighter one. How come Third Aunt and the others haven't come yet, could it be that there was a temporary delay?"

Li said: "Let me go and have a look..."

Before the words finished, Li Che, mother and son came over.

Aunt Li and Mrs. Li both smiled and greeted Li Cheniang, "Sister-in-law Gen, happy holidays."

Li Cheniang was also busy with her children, and greeted her two sisters-in-law with a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries, we meandered towards the pier. On the way, we occasionally met people from the same clan and village who also went to watch the dragon boat race. The team grew stronger and stronger without knowing it.

However, Lu Weiwei spent most of her time talking with Li Che, and the two brothers had a heated discussion on a topic proposed by their master before the festival.

During the discussion, Lu Weiwei still had to talk to Li Yue and Li Xiu. The cousin sisters seemed to like talking to him for some reason today, so naturally they didn't care, and they didn't have time to talk to Xie Lingzhao. .

Fortunately, there was another Mrs. Li who was afraid that Xie Lingzhao would feel left out, so he kept talking to him, and Xie Lingzhao felt better.

After a while, a group of people successfully arrived at the pier. The water here is wide and there are many places where people can stand around. It is the most suitable place for dragon boat racing.

Aunt Li and Mrs. Li saw that there were so many people around, they didn't know where to find Li Chang, because they said to Li Che, "Ache, you are tall, look around and see where Achang is, I know there must be a lot of people today, I didn't expect There are so many people, wouldn't all the people from Quantianquan come?"

Li Che answered "Yes" with a smile, and after talking to his mother, he looked around for Li Changlai.

Fortunately, Li Chang was also tall, so he quickly saw Li Che, and after beckoning to join him, he walked through the crowd to Aunt Li and the others, "Mother, Auntie, I've already taken up my place, and I've also bought a few small ones." Mazar, a few stones this high, make sure no one can stop us later. Let's go."

He led the big guys all the way to the place he occupied. Sure enough, the terrain was open and there were not too many people around. Lu Weiwei was really afraid of being crowded with people, so she couldn't help but smiled and praised: "My cousin's work is really more and more reassuring. "

Li Chang proudly said: "That's right, I have always been reliable in my work. Mother, aunt, and third aunt Gen, you sit first, the competition will start in a while, and everyone who can sit sits, sister and sister Xiu Afraid of being exposed to the sun, I held up an umbrella. I just saw a seller of ice bowls, so I went to buy some, and everyone quenched their thirst first."

Lu Weiwei hurriedly said: "I'll go with my cousin, my cousin can't take that much by himself."

Seeing this, Li Che and Xie Lingzhao both said, "I'll go too."

"I'll go as well."

The four went through the crowd again, went to buy ice bowls and returned, but Li Chang failed to snatch Xie Lingzhao when paying the bill, and Xie Lingzhao paid the bill.

After everyone ate the ice bowl, they became much cooler in an instant, so they all smiled and thanked Xie Lingzhao, "Azhao, you are a guest, and I am so sorry to ask you to entertain us."

"Thank you so much, young master, and you too, Achang, how can you make young master Xie spend money?"

Xie Lingzhao waved his hands and said with a smile: "Small things are not worth mentioning. Aunt Lu and the elders must not say that."

There is a smile on the face, but the heart is already very impatient.

Why are there so many irrelevant people, he just wants to watch the dragon boat race with Aunt Lu and Lu Wei alone, and spend a festival alone, why is it so difficult?

After everyone finished eating the ice bowls, the dragon boat race hadn't started yet, so they chatted with each other to pass the time.

Seeing that she was finally able to talk to Lu Weiwei well, Li Xiu leaned over to Lu Weiwei and said with a smile: "Cousin Wei, when I was writing recently, I found a problem. The more I want to write well, the more The worse the writing is, the worse it is than last year, not to mention worse than last year. I don’t know why? Cousin Wei writes well. If you have time in the afternoon, please give me some pointers. ?"

Lu Weiwei thought for a while, and it wasn't difficult to spare half an hour in the afternoon, she nodded, "Okay, I'll go to your house in the afternoon and give you instructions. Don't worry, calligraphy practice has this process, as long as you Write seriously, keep writing, and it will be fine after this period of time....It smells so good, how can there be the scent of jasmine here? It turns out that sister Xiu has jasmine in her hair, and I just discovered it."

There is indeed a row of jasmine flowers in Li Xiu's hair.

Seeing that Lu Weiwei finally noticed it, she blushed slightly, and said with a smile: "The last time I went to my grandma's house, I found that my cousin had planted a few jasmine flowers, so I asked her for some and planted them myself. I didn't expect it to bloom so quickly. If Cousin Wei likes it, I'll give you one later."

Lu Weiwei quickly waved her hands, "I don't have the time to plant flowers and weeds, and I can't grow flowers well. You plant them. When I want to see them later, I just go to your house to see them. But sister Xiu said goodbye to these flowers It looks really good, and it smells good, not only can you wear it on your head in the future, but you can also wear it on your clothes with a needle and thread."

Li Xiu's face became more and more red, "Cousin Wei is busy with his studies, I took it for granted. Then I will plant it, divide the pots later, and give Cousin Wei two pots, and put them on the desk."

Because of the excitement, the heart beats a lot faster.

She thought it was rare to go out with Cousin Wei, but she didn't even have any decent jewelry or even a headband, so she cut some jasmine flowers and pinned them on her hair. Unexpectedly, Cousin Wei not only noticed it, but also praised her' It looks good and smells good too', Cousin Wei is so gentle and kind!

"Then how embarrassing, isn't it just a waste of trouble for sister Xiu?" Lu Weiwei smiled and declined, "Or..."

Li Yue leaned over and said with a smile: "Sister Xiu is going to give my cousin Jasmine, I just listened to it vaguely, is it for me, I also like Jasmine very much."

Li Xiu had noticed Li Yue's new clothes, earrings, hairpins and beaded flowers early on. These days, because Li Yue taught Lu Weiwei how to read and write for her, the two cousins ​​got along more than before. Something, she also faintly felt it.

Although Li Yue is closer to Lu Weiwei and can be seen every day, Li Yue also has a lot of new clothes and beautiful jewelry, but she has nothing, and it is not easy to see Cousin Wei.

But that's about it.

Sister Yue and Cousin Wei are direct cousins, and they all know that "the aunt's blood will not be returned home", even if Sister Yue really meant that, it will definitely not work out in the future, but I have a five-year relationship with Cousin Wei. service...

With this level of confidence, Li Xiu saw that Li Yue came up to her and lost the opportunity to talk to Lu Weiwei, which she had so hard to get. , even now I only have two or three plants, and I have to wait for a while before I can get a few pots, and everyone has delivered them."

Li Yue smiled and nodded, "Sister Xiu, don't forget. The sun is really strong today. If sister Xiu comes in a little bit, she can cover her whole body and avoid getting tanned again."

Even if, even if "aunt's blood is not returned home", it is not that there is no hope at all, as long as Xiao Wei is willing, who can force him?

The three of them form a circle. Although Li Xiu and Li Yue have their own thoughts, Lu Weiwei is dull and doesn't notice anything. After all, she knows that she is also a woman, and they are both cousins ​​who grew up with children. Don't think in the other direction.

In the eyes of others, especially Xie Lingzhao, the three of them were talking and laughing at Yan Yan, which is called harmony, and Lu Weiwei called Zhong Xing Gongyue, any man would be envious if they saw it, right?
Li Yue on the left is wearing a lake blue skirt. Although she is not very beautiful, she is quite gentle and pretty like Xiaojiabiyu; Li Xiu on the right is not as well dressed, and her skin is not as fair as Li Yue, but she is better than Li Yue. There is a burst of vitality and flexibility, and the jasmine in the hair can smell the faint fragrance from far away.

The key point is that both of them are at the best age in their daughter's life, and they can only see Lu Weiwei in their eyes, and the admiration and love in them may overflow at any time...

"Hey, Xie Lingzhao, what are you looking at?"

Li Chang's voice suddenly rang in his ears, interrupting Xie Lingzhao's thoughts.

He really wasn't in a good mood, because Li Chang's tone wasn't too good, and when he rolled his eyelids, he couldn't help showing a bit of impatience, "What's wrong?"

Seeing that he still dared to be impatient, Li Chang gritted his teeth and lowered his voice even more, "You still have the face to ask me what's wrong, you peeked at my sister and let me grab the bag, and dare to ask me what's wrong? I can tell you , I only said to forgive you for the sake of my cousin and aunt, but I still don’t want to see you in my heart. Don’t make me anxious. When the time comes, I will settle new and old accounts with you, and I will not treat you My surname is not Li!"

Last night, his mother thought about it, and wanted to make his sister and this Xie together. He was worried that his sister would be snatched away by Xie for one night. Who knew that the nightmare would come true so soon, it was simply unbearable. What can't be tolerated!

Xie Lingzhao was speechless, "Which eye of yours saw me peeping at your sister?"

Li Chang sneered, "Both eyes have seen it! When you look in this direction, are you looking at the three of them, or where are you looking? Among the three, my cousin is a man, and sister Xiu is still young. Didn't you look at them?" My sister, who else can I look at? Huh, yesterday my cousin and aunt said it wasn't what I thought, but how it is now, it turns out that it is what I thought!"

"Xie Lingzhao, let me warn you, my sister is not one of those girls you can play with as you please, and our family has never thought of climbing high. If you are sensible, you should let go of your dirty thoughts as soon as possible, otherwise I will definitely make you regret it!"

Xie Lingzhao became more and more speechless, and pulled his lips and said: "Tell me something you don't like to hear, not to mention my family in Beijing, even Tianquan's family, there are many maids who are more beautiful than your sister, if I really have those dirty thoughts , why bother to look far away? Take ten thousand steps back, I look down on the maids at home, do you think it will be difficult for me to find someone in Tianquan City who is better than your sister in terms of appearance and wealth?"

"You!" Li Chang became even angrier. Even if he got angry again, he had to admit that what Xie Lingzhao said was true, but it was precisely because the truth was ugly that he became even angrier. "Then what are you looking at? I'm sure you are." It's the three of them, you can't deny it!"

Xie Lingzhao rolled his eyes, "When did I deny it, I was indeed looking at the direction they were in, but that doesn't mean I was looking at them."

"Then you're either looking at my sister, or sister Xiu? Sister Xiu is not yet fourteen, you are such a beast!"

"Li Chang, keep your mouth clean. Don't think that you are Lu Wei's cousin or Aunt Lu's nephew. I dare not hit you. If I really attack you, you will not be my opponent!"

"Then you are here to see who beats who! You are neither looking at my sister nor sister Xiu, you are not looking at my cousin, are you?"

"Then Li Che is talking with them now. According to you, if I deny that I am looking at Lu Wei, you will say that I am looking at Li Che? How ridiculous!"

Li Chang hurriedly looked over, and saw that Li Che had also joined the small circle of the three of them, and was talking to Lu Weiwei for some reason.

Li Chang flinched for a moment, could it be that he really misunderstood Xie Lingzhao?

Seeing that he finally stopped messing around, Xie Lingzhao turned his head to one side and sulked.

Lu Wei is really popular enough. Not only is he popular in school, but his cousins ​​are all around him, even the cousins ​​are the same. I have never seen them look at other people, and they really kill men and women!
Isn't he better looking than him, what do his cousins ​​think, are they still women?Obviously he is the better looking, handsomer and taller one, and he is also the rich and powerful one in the family, but in the end they all circle around Lu Wei, so that he doesn't even have a chance to talk to him.

The same goes for Lu Wei, what kind of friends are there? How can there be friends who only care about talking to others and don't care about their own friends?

He only recognizes him as a friend, and only recognizes Aunt Lu as an elder.

The problem is that Aunt Lu, Mrs. Li and Li Che's mother have been chatting about those parents' affairs. He can't get in the way, and he's really not interested. Then Lu Wei should take care of him more, but in the end he doesn't care at all,— He had to figure out a way to make Lu Wei not only put his friend first, but at least have an equal status with Li Chang!

But Xie Lingzhao also knew that this was impossible, at least not in the short term.

Not to mention Li Chang, but even Li Che, who grew up with Lu Wei and have been in love for many years, but he has always hated him before, and now they are friends, all thanks to his smugness Can people compare?

Thinking about it this way, Xie Lingzhao regretted it even more.

When Li Chang's younger sister suddenly went back to change her clothes, he didn't expect that when Li Che's younger sister arrived, the atmosphere between the two of them was obviously a bit weird. Lu Wei spoke.

He should have thought it through thoroughly at the time, and then either fell or yelled that his stomach hurts. In any case, he had to make Lu Wei break up with him alone. When the dragon boat race officially started, it would not be too late to join everyone. Won't you be bored right now?

Li Chang is also ridiculous, he only saw his sister twice before he really got a clear idea of ​​what she looks like, how could he play tricks on her?
Even if he wants to defend, shouldn't Lu Wei be the one who should guard against it!
Fortunately, Xie Lingzhao was depressed for a while, and then there was the sound of beating drums. At the beginning, the sound was almost at intervals, and gradually became denser and louder, indicating that the dragon boat race was about to start.

Lu Weiwei, Li Che, Li Yue and Li Xiu just finished talking, and they all crowded in front of their respective mothers, waiting to watch the dragon boat race together.

Lu Weiwei finally had the time to talk to Xie Lingzhao, "Isn't it very lively? You invited us to eat ice bowls before, how about I treat you and you to eat mochi balls later? Saw something for sale."

Xie Lingzhao just wanted to say something bitter to him, you old man finally remembered that there is another me?
I also felt that this was too much, as if he was a resentful woman, I finally held back and said: "It's lively, but it's also really hot. If I had known earlier, I should have asked Uncle Sheng to go ahead and make a better one." The seat, and then set up a pergola, and asked a few servants to keep playing fans around."

Lu Weiwei smirked, "Aren't we going to follow you to get rich? Next year, if we are still friends next year, we must enjoy it. What is it like to be friends with local tyrants?"

Local tyrants and the like are so enviable and jealous!
While the two were talking, the dragon boat race officially started.

For a time, all the riversides were filled with deafening cheering shouts, and everyone was blushing with excitement and screaming hoarsely.

Xie Lingzhao still felt a little noisy at first, but gradually became infected, and shouted along with Li Shi, Lu Weiwei and others beside him.

When the game finally ended, his voice was so hoarse that it was about to smoke, but the depression in his heart seemed to be completely swept away by shouting.
