The Imperial Examination Blessed Wife in the Palm

Chapter 81
Everyone was shouting so dryly and hoarsely that the mochi ball that Lu Weiwei had planned to treat everyone to eat had also turned into licorice snow to drink water.

One person, one bowl, all quenched their thirst and heat, and then they laughed and talked about the dragon boat race just now, "The green team is so good, they also won the first place last year."

"The green team cooperated well. I heard that they have practiced from morning to night every day for more than a month. With such hard work, of course they deserve the first place."

"I heard that the county lord has raised the prize for the first place this year to 100 taels? Twenty people form a team, and one person can share several taels of silver. The hard work is worth it..."

It's just that Xie Lingzhao paid for the licorice snow drinking water, not Lu Weiwei. Even Li Chang and Xie Lingzhao couldn't watch him pay, let alone Lu Weiwei?He didn't pay attention to such a few small coins.

Everyone thanked Xie Lingzhao again, and then they talked and laughed and went home all the way.

However, as soon as he arrived at Li's house, he saw two carriages suddenly parked outside the gate.

Li Sheng began to cheer, "Dad must be back, it must be, dad, dad—"

While yelling, she shook off Li Chang's hand and strode home.

After a while, Li Chengdong, who couldn't hide his exhaustion with a smile on his face, was led out by Li Sheng, "Mother, it's true that Dad is back."

Li Chengdong smiled and said to Aunt Li and Li Shi: "Lady, sister, I'm back. Third sister-in-law, are you going to watch the dragon boat race with the big guys? That's how it should be. Busy when you should be busy, and when you should rest." I also need to rest. I brought some good wine back, and I will ask Achang to send some over to Brother Gen to drink later."

Li Cheniang hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Dong, don't give it away. We can't count the amount of food and drink we have given us all year round. I'm really embarrassed to give it away again. Your third brother has stopped drinking for a long time. You should keep drinking by yourself." Right. Your third brother is at home alone, we are really worried, so we will go back first."

After speaking, after Li Che and Li Xiu greeted Li Chengdong, they took them back first.

Aunt Li, Li Shi, and Li Yue all took a few steps forward, and became concerned about Li Chengdong, "Father, why did you arrive today? We all thought you would arrive a few days ago, is there something on the way?" Things are delayed? Fortunately, it is still in time for the holiday.”

"Brother, how long have you been home, why have you lost so much weight? It's not sure how hard the journey will be. I'll let Wang Ma boil a large pot of water first, so you can take a bath."

"Auntie, I'll help you. Dad, how long have you been wearing the clothes on your body? I can smell sweat from such a distance."

Li Chang and Lu Weiwei thought that Li Chengdong used to come home in one carriage, but this time there were two. They were afraid that something must be left at home, so they said, "Father, is there anything in the carriage? I am Move now, or what?"

"Didn't uncle go to the shop first and go home directly?"

Li Chengdong smiled and said: "I brought so many goods back, I must have gone to the shop first before returning home, otherwise I might be able to catch up with you to watch the dragon boat race. There are not many things in the car now. One belongs to a friend of mine, that uncle is a friend of the head of Zhuxi Town."

"He came to Tianquan specially to celebrate his uncle's fiftieth birthday this time, so we went together together, and now we are sitting in the main room of our house, the lady and younger sister have to take out your housekeeper for lunch The ability is to let him eat and drink well. After so many years of dealing with him, this is the first time he has come to our house, and I was willing to come because of my stubbornness. We must not make him feel that this trip is worth it? Now Let's meet the guests first."

Aunt Li and Mrs. Li felt tense when they heard that there was a distinguished guest, and led Li Yue and Li Sheng into the gate with Li Chengdong three steps in parallel.

Seeing this, Li Chang and Lu Weiwei were too busy to follow.

After walking two steps, Lu Weiwei finally remembered that there was another Xie Lingzhao, so she hurriedly stopped and greeted him with a smile, "Xie Lingzhao, what are you waiting for, come in quickly."

Xie Lingzhao was completely ignored by her and Li Shi just now, he didn't care about other people's neglect, but the mother and son's neglect made him feel bad.

Seeing that Lu Weiwei finally remembered him now, she was not happy. After a while, she said angrily, "It's so easy for your family to reunite, so I won't go in. I'll go back first. See you at school tomorrow. Farewell."

After finishing speaking, he clenched his fist hastily, and really turned around and left.

It made Lu Weiwei feel very sorry, "It was agreed a long time ago that he would have dinner at our house at noon, but he left before the meal was finished. What's the matter? Cousin, do you want us to eat?" To chase him back?"

Li Chang curled his lips and said: "He wants to leave by himself, so we can't blame us. Anyway, it's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks. But although he apologized to us, his attitude can change, but his temper cannot. It's easy to talk, even if we go after him, he might not be willing to come back, right?"

Lu Weiwei frowned, "That being said, we should give it a try, right? He came to the door early in the morning to apologize, and even brought us some gifts, and just now he invited everyone to eat ice bowls and drink licorice snow, just for this, we You should also do your best to fulfill the friendship of the Lord and the family.”

Li Changdao: "Cousin, you can go, I just before the dragon boat race with him... that quarrel, I guess he may not be willing to see me, I happened to move all the things on the carriage into the house with Uncle Wang go."

Lu Weiwei was about to speak when she heard Li Shi's voice from the yard, "Achang, Xiaowei, what are you dawdling about? Why don't you come in and meet the guests? Hurry up—"

The two brothers and sisters were anxious to hear Li Shi's urging, so they had to go through the gate first to meet Li Chengdong's friend.

Li Chengdong asked them to call each other 'Uncle Zhong', because both brother and sister are good-looking, and they are students of the county school, so they got a good meal from the other party and a meeting gift of four treasures of study for each person.

On the other side, after Xie Lingzhao left Li's house, he saw that he was walking more and more slowly, and he was about to stand still, but he still didn't see Lu Weiwei chasing him.

My heart became more and more uncomfortable.

This so-called friend of himself really has no place in Lu Wei's heart, he really overestimated himself, and he will never be a hot ass in the future!
Even Aunt Lu, her kindness to him is also limited by time and place. Once there are other people, she will go to treat others first, and forget him directly. Yes, those people are all How can Aunt Lu's relatives be compared to him?
But even if he couldn't compare, at least Aunt Lu treated him well, gave him warmth, and everything should be done step by step. He really shouldn't have left in a fit of anger just now...

Xie Lingzhao was so entangled that Lu Weiwei called him several times behind him, "Xie Lingzhao, wait——, Xie Lingzhao—"

He thought it was his hallucination.

It was Lu Weiwei who was panting and walked around in front of him to block his way, and then he realized that it was not his hallucination, but Lu Wei really came to chase him.

A smile immediately spread from the bottom of his eyes, making Lu Weiwei so handsome that he was dazed for a moment.

After a while, he said: "Xie Lingzhao, just now my uncle suddenly came home from a long distance, and another guest arrived. We were all surprised and flustered. We inevitably ignored you as a guest. I am really sorry. Now I solemnly apologize to you, and solemnly invite you You go back, I wonder if you would like to?"

In fact, Xie Lingzhao is also a soft-hearted person. When others give him a foot, he will immediately respect him. On the contrary, if others treat him badly, he will immediately give back ten points.

If Lu Weiwei didn't chase after her, or if she did catch up, it wasn't to apologize to him, and if he asked him to go back, he would definitely be stunned for a long time, even if he felt hypocritical.

But Lu Weiwei had already chased him, and apologized to him as soon as he came, it was like giving him a piece of iced watermelon in the dog days, which made his limbs and bones feel instantly comfortable.

Limbs and limbs relaxed, and the person became doubly considerate, saying: "The relatives came back from a long way, and it's time for the festival, let alone you, who can not be happy, and the others can't take care of it for a while? Let alone you There are also guests at home. According to your uncle Lu Wei, it is still a long-term friendship. Of course, it is better to treat people well. I will not make trouble for you today. I am close anyway. There will be opportunities in the future, and wait. Next time, I will be the guest of honor alone."

When Lu Weiwei heard this, she felt more and more sorry, "Everything is said first come first, first come first, today you came to our house as a guest, my mother and aunt invited you long ago, and we had dinner at our house at noon. But Because there are guests coming again, I don’t care about you as a guest. Who is our family? You can go back with me. My mother and aunt have prepared a lot of dishes. Let alone you, if a few more people come, they can’t finish eating , don't be polite to me."

Xie Lingzhao thought about the situation when he had dinner at Li's house last night, and he knew that if he went back, the situation at noon would be the same as last night.

What delicacies has he never eaten?

In the end, what he ate wasn't food at all, but the warmth, the warm and homely feeling that there were only Lu Weiwei and Li Shi at the same table, and Li Shi kept helping him with food, lest he wouldn't eat well.

Then he smiled and said: "Lu Wei, I'm not being polite to you, I really don't want to cause trouble for you and Aunt Lu. To put it bluntly, no matter how expensive your uncle's guest is, it is not expensive in front of me. Not just anyone is willing to eat at the same table with him; your family members are because of you and Aunt Lu, and why is that guest because he is your uncle's friend? This relationship is too far away. It’s almost impossible to hit. So I really come back next time, if you really feel sorry, just arrange this next time as soon as possible, what do you think?”

He said so much, what else can Lu Weiwei say?
How can the young master of a family who can make Tianquan county magistrate, Jiaoyu and other grown-ups shy away from courtesy, even if he was actually exiled to Tianquan by the family in disguise, how can he not have a little bit of his own arrogance?

Lu Weiwei didn't force her anymore, she just smiled and said: "Okay, I will definitely arrange the next time as soon as possible. Then what do you like to eat, I will ask my mother to make it for you at that time, and I will definitely make up for today's grievances."

Xie Lingzhao said with a smile: "As long as it is made by Aunt Lu, I like to eat it. You just let Aunt Lu look at the arrangements. I don't choose. That's all right, you go back quickly. There are guests at home. You have been waiting for a long time. It’s too rude not to see anyone, I’ll go first.”

"Wait a moment."

Lu Weiwei stopped him again, hesitated for a moment, and tore off the five-drug sachet from her waist, "Xie Lingzhao, this five-drug sachet is for you. My mother made it herself. It contains realgar and Chen AI herbs. It is said that wearing it will prevent mosquitoes from invading, so I will give it to you."

Xie Lingzhao was surprised and delighted, "Give it to me? Really? Lu Wei, then I won't be polite."

Not only was it made by Uncle Lu's mother, but Lu Wei ripped it off from his waist and gave it to him after wearing it. It doesn't matter if you eat it for lunch or not!
Lu Weiwei smiled and said: "Of course it's true. I gave it to you as I said, even if I regret it in my heart, I can't regret it. Besides, my mother and aunt make a lot of this purse every year. Everyone in the family has it. Last night my mother also said that she happened to make too many, and I will give you one today, I will give it to you first, and I will ask my mother to give me another one when I go back."

Xie Lingzhao quickly tied the purse around his waist before continuing to smile and said, "Aunt Lu is so kind to me, she misses me even with her purse. When I see her later, I will thank her very much."

Lu Weiwei said, "It's up to you, it doesn't matter if you thank me or not, it's not a big deal. By the way, after you go back, ask your family to get you some herbs to boil the water. You can take a bath at night. It is said that the Dragon Boat Festival I took a medicated bath that day, and I haven’t had sores all year. Although I feel that there is no basis for this statement, but it’s a hot day, anyway, I have to take a bath, so let’s take it as a matter of course.”

"Okay, I will definitely do what you said to Lu Wei tonight." Xie Lingzhao felt good, Lu Wei was concerned about him, and nodded with a smile, "Then Lu Wei, we will meet at school tomorrow..."

He said goodbye, but his legs were as conscious as they were, and they couldn't move at all. They even wanted to go back to Li's house with Lu Weiwei.

At least the Li family is lively, and Lu Wei and Aunt Lu will definitely take some time to talk to him and take care of him, and he will be alone when he goes back.

It's a pity that Lu Weiwei didn't know what he was thinking, so she said directly: "Okay, then I'll see you at school tomorrow, you can go, I'm going back too."

Xie Lingzhao had no choice but to bid farewell to Lu Weiwei again, and turned around every step of the way.

Lu Weiwei was not as reluctant as he was. Seeing him leave, she immediately turned around and went back.

It happened that dinner had already started at home, and because of the presence of Uncle Zhong, a foreigner, only one table was set up in the main room, and the other table for women and children was set up in the kitchen.

As soon as Mrs. Li saw Lu Weiwei came back, she hurried forward and said, "Xiaowei, Achang didn't say that you went after Azhao, but what about Azhao?"

Lu Weiwei said: "He has already gone back."

"Going back?" Li Shi was anxious, "How can you let him go back? It was already agreed to invite him to have dinner at home at noon, and he brought so many gifts early in the morning, and invited the big guy's guests .As a result, I didn’t finish my meal, so I went back on an empty stomach, what’s the matter?”

Lu Weiwei hurriedly laughed and said: "He said that there are guests at home today, and it is rare for the family to reunite. There must be a lot to talk about, so he won't stay and cause trouble. Anyway, he is close and can come anytime. I I also promised him that I will invite him to come home as soon as possible to make up for today's meal, so mother should not be upset."

Li said: "How can I not be annoyed, today is a holiday, can it be the same as other days? Didn't you hear what he said before, how many years have you not celebrated the holiday with your relatives? Xiaowei, you too, you should pull Bring him back too."

Lu Weiwei had no choice but to repeat Xie Lingzhao's remarks that not everyone would be willing to eat at the same table, "Mother can tell that he is a fastidious person just by looking at his clothes, so don't make things difficult for him. Uncle Kuang has guests today." Now, if he stays, should uncle greet the guests or greet him? It is inevitable that he will lose sight of the other. Let’s talk about it after the guests have left. Since mother invited him to come to the house often, she must formally introduce him to uncle. .”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li said no more.

Lu Weiwei said again: "Mother, don't worry, I also gave him the five-drug pouch you made for me. He was very happy and asked me to come back to thank you. It can be seen that he really didn't take it seriously. You can find another pouch later. Make it up for me."

"Understood, I'll make it up for you when I get back." Li Shi responded and went to work.

I just felt sorry for Xie Lingzhao in my heart, but when she got busy, she forgot that there was A Zhao as a guest, otherwise she and Xiao Wei would go after him together, and they would definitely be able to get him back. When he came, Haosheng compensated him.

The whole family ate lunch lively, Li Chengdong and Uncle Zhong drank a lot of wine, and Li Chang and Lu Weiwei, the two "big boys", had to accompany them for a few drinks, and they didn't leave the table until it was almost time to hand in the application , Sending off Uncle Zhong.

Only then did Li Chengdong bother to ask about his absence at home these days, "... How are you all? I saw how his mother and Ayue lost weight? My sister and Xiaowei didn't wait for me, so they went first Back to the village?"

"I remember that before I went to Fucheng, Xiaowei and Achang were about to take the mock exam? It's time, so I'm afraid they passed the exam the second time, right? How about it, Achang, how did you do in the exam? I don't know your cousin. No need to ask, I know that it must be the first again, if you can be half as good as your cousin, I will wake up laughing when I fall asleep."

Everyone surrounded Li Chengdong and answered his questions with a smile. The room was full of laughter for a while.

Afterwards, Li Chengdong distributed the presents brought back from Fucheng to his wives, children, sisters and nieces, even Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhu also had them.

The family became more and more festive and lively, and it was only after the second watch at night that they went back to their rooms to rest.
