The Imperial Examination Blessed Wife in the Palm

Chapter 90
Xie Lingzhao found Li Che not pleasing to the eye. He disliked him inexplicably at the beginning, and naturally he disliked him even more now.

Correspondingly, Li Che didn't see where he was going.

Cousin Wei has to be pestered about everything, every mouthful of 'Lu Wei, Lu Wei', without a break, how does he treat himself as a three-year-old child?I don't understand this, and I don't know that, people are still arrogant and hateful, that is, a good life was born in a rich family, if it was born in a poor family, it would have been beaten to death!

However, what made Li Che even more irritated was that Lu Weiwei was actually a girl.

Now Xie Lingzhao doesn't know anything, and even though he has been pestering Cousin Wei all day long, he looks like he wants to advance and retreat, eat and live with Cousin Wei, if he finds out Cousin Wei's true identity in the future, How could there be no unreasonable thoughts, there must only be worse ones.

Xie Lingzhao is better looking than him, and his family background is ten blocks away from him. Apart from reading better than him, how can he have other advantages?

He has to study harder, so that he can support Cousin Wei and Aunt Lu in the future, and make Cousin Wei believe that he has the ability to let her and Aunt Lu live a good life, and finally choose him.

Of course, he has to let Cousin Wei take him seriously, as long as Cousin Wei has him in his heart, he will be nothing to be afraid of!

It's a pity that in the next period of time, although Lu Weiwei didn't explicitly alienate Li Che, everyone still went to school together, and discussed issues with each other on the way. It seemed that there was no difference from before.

But Li Che gradually became aware of Lu Weiwei's estrangement from him. Cousin Wei never gave him any chance to talk to her alone.

This made Li Che very upset, what happened to Cousin Wei?It's been such a long time, even if she is shy, she should have passed it long ago; or is he not good enough, cousin Wei still doesn't want to think about him yet?
On the way back from school that day, Lu Weiwei spent most of her time talking to Xie Lingzhao, without even giving herself an extra look.

However, Xie Lingzhao still gave him a provocative smile from time to time, and Li Che was almost ashamed to death.

Just as he was about to speak, Xie Lingzhao said: "Lu Wei, I bought the vacant land next to your house, and I plan to start building the house in just a few days, the summer in the city is too hot, it's better to cool down here. When the house is finished, I will live here in summer and in the city in winter, and I can be your neighbor for at least half a year a year, I really feel happy thinking about it."

When Lu Weiwei and Li Chang heard the words, they both laughed and said, "I heard that the land was sold. We were still wondering who bought it. It turned out that it was you, Xie Lingzhao. You are really rich and willful. If you buy land, you can build a house if you say you want to build a house.”

"Tuhao, can I be your friend?"

Xie Lingzhao waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's only a small amount of one hundred and ten taels of silver. Don't make fun of me, especially you, Achang, haven't we been friends for a long time?"

Li Che swallowed the words that were on his lips.

One hundred and ten taels is no less than an astronomical figure for him and their family today, but to Xie Lingzhao, it is just a "little money". How can the gap between people be so big?
Even if Cousin Wei's character is noble and pure, and he doesn't hate the poor and love the rich, can he just have the heart to let her live a poor life with him in the future?

Even if he can be selected as a scholar in one fell swoop next year, it is only the beginning... Let's talk about everything next year!

Seeing that Xie Lingzhao and Li Chang were talking lively, Lu Weiwei realized belatedly that Li Che hadn't said a word for a long time, and subconsciously looked at him, and saw that although he tried his best to restrain himself, there was still a bit of a smile on his face. Dazed and wry smile.

They couldn't help but secretly regret that they shouldn't have said this in front of Cousin Che. It was no different from talking loudly about all the delicacies they just ate in front of a hungry person. What's the difference?
But at the same time, Lu Weiwei knew that Xie Lingzhao should not have any malice or other thoughts. To him, it was indeed a small amount of money, and it was a common thing. Even her cousin was just joking, just for fun. Oh, in fact, no wonder they.

If she really stopped them, or directly diverted the conversation, it would be really embarrassing for everyone...

Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei had no choice but to look at Li Che with concern. When Li Che realized that she was looking at him and looking at her, she smiled at him, shook her head slightly at him, and silently asked him not to talk to Xie Ling. General knowledge of Showa and Li Chang.

Li Che felt much better in an instant, as long as Cousin Wei cared about him and cared about his feelings, nothing else mattered!
After returning home like this, Li Che, who was still somewhat disconcerted, was about to say goodbye to Lu Weiwei and Li Chang when she saw Mrs. Li come out.

Seeing Lu Weiwei, he said, "Xiaowei, you guys are back. I've come out to look around a few times. I'm really anxious."

Lu Weiwei hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, what happened? There are so many of us, no matter what happens, there must be a way to solve it, you just say it."

Mrs. Li thought that none of the people present were outsiders, so she stopped hiding and said, "Your cousin came and said that she sneaked from home to come to us for help, because your grandparents are going to marry her to Butcher Sun." The silly son of the family, the dowry is all accepted, a total of 25 taels..."

The life of Butcher Sun's family is not only in Lujia Village, but also in several surrounding villages.

Such a family should have no worries about marrying a wife, but unfortunately the second son of his family is a fool, so the options are suddenly narrowed too much; but that foolish son is still picky and knows how to want beautiful girls.

Butcher Sun and his wife traveled all over the country, so they took a fancy to Lu Dani'er, and asked someone to hand over the offer, willing to offer 20 taels of dowry to hire Lu Dani'er as his daughter-in-law.

Lu Youcheng and the Cao family were originally blind to money and didn't treat their granddaughter as a human being. They heard that the Sun family was paying 20 taels, how could they not be tempted?
As for how Lu Dani'er will live in the future, marrying a fool is equivalent to ruining her life, so it's out of their consideration. Anyway, her daughter will marry when she grows up. Whoever she marries is not married. Butcher's family, you can never worry about eating meat for the rest of your life!

The reason why the Sun family gave an extra five taels of dowry was because Sun Lanhua did not agree with her daughter to marry a fool at the beginning. Da Nier really married a fool. If they are gone, who else can they count on to go? Wouldn't the whole family have to starve to death?

Unable to stand Cao's yelling every day, Uncle Lu also listened to his old lady, and would slap the table and start his hands at every turn. Butcher Sun and his wife heard that Sun Lanhua and Lu Danier were unwilling, so they generously added five taels of gifts directly, and also It is said that in the future, he will definitely pull Lu Danier's brothers and sisters.

Now Sun Lanhua couldn't help being moved, not to mention that she didn't want to marry her daughter, and if she was in a hurry, she would take Lu Dani'er to die.

"Your cousin has lost a lot of weight, and her eyes are swollen into rotten peaches. She looks so pitiful, so I can't bear to let her go. This is something that will happen to her all her life, even if she has bad or bad things in her daily life." No, I can't just watch her being pushed into the fire pit by my relatives, can I?"

In addition to the sympathy on Mrs. Li's face, there is also a little bit of regret, "But after I left the person, I realized that I can't solve this matter for her. Listen to her, she stole it yesterday." I ran out and hid all the way to find us. I reckon that your grandpa and third uncle will find us tomorrow or the next day at the latest. Once they find them, Da Nier can only be arrested and married. Said, they probably still want to pester us, but your uncle has gone out again, I'm really afraid that it will hurt the family, if I knew it, I would..."

A few days ago, Li Chengdong went out to Fucheng again. He was accompanied by Uncle Zhong who had been a guest at home during the Dragon Boat Festival. He said that there was a way to make a fortune. Li Chengdong thought that he would go to Fucheng to buy goods at the end of the month, so he set off early with him.

Lu Weiwei already said: "Mother, don't blame yourself, the big lady found you from so far away, and called you 'Auntie' again, she was indeed forced to be pitiful, let alone you, who can be soft-hearted and leave her behind What? Now that the person has stayed, it’s meaningless to talk about anything else, let’s try to solve the problem first.”

Xie Lingzhao followed: "Yes, Aunt Lu, it's not difficult. The family will give them 25 taels, right? The big deal, I'll give them 30 taels, and let them not marry their daughters to fools. It's a big deal. , A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.”

In exchange for Lu Weiwei's white eyes, "Master Xie, you are really arrogant. A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Okay, you give them 30 taels. After you give it, they still have to use it after taking the money." What do you do if you exchange your daughter for a high-value gift? Can you give them more money? It will take less than two times, and you will be able to raise a litter of big mice. Don't interrupt, my mother and I will figure out a way."

Seeing that Li Che was still there, he was afraid that his legs would hurt if he stood for a long time, so he said to Li Che, "Cousin Che, go home first, so that Aunt Gen and Sister Xiu won't be in a hurry. See you tomorrow."

Li Che wanted to stay and help.

But he has neither money nor power, and he is far behind Xie Lingzhao, so what can he do to help?

Then he nodded and agreed, "Then I will go back first. If there is something I can use, please ask Aunt Lu and Cousin Wei not to be polite to me." Then I said goodbye to Li Chang and Xie Lingzhao, and went back first. go home.

Only then did Lu Weiwei say to Li Shi: "Mother, let's stop standing at the door, let's go in first and talk later. Where is the big lady right now, I'll go and see her first."

Mrs. Li led everyone into the gate and went to the main room.

Halfway through, Li Chang suddenly pulled Xie Lingzhao and walked to his room. Xie Lingzhao didn't know why, "Achang, what are you pulling me for? Let's talk about it later, help Aunt Lu and Lu Wei solve the problem first. serious."

Mrs. Li and Lu Weiwei finally came to their senses, and hurriedly said, "Azhao, it's not convenient for you to go to the main room, so let's sit in his room with Achang first, and we will call you when we need your help."

Lu Weiwei thought a little more. The last time Lu Danier met Xie Lingzhao, she was just like the cat who met Yuer. She only lost face and self-esteem. Now that the fire has reached her eyebrows, it might get worse. Who knows? What will you do in a moment of confusion?

Then he said again: "Xie Lingzhao, it's okay if you don't go to my cousin's house, so go back to your house directly. This is our Lu family's housework, and it's not easy for you to meddle in it. I'll see you at school tomorrow." .”

Xie Lingzhao hurriedly laughed, "Then I'd better go to Achang's house. I'm all here, so I must have dinner before leaving. I'm going home now, and the cook at home hasn't cooked my meal. Achang, let's go Bar."

Instead, he pushed Li Changlai, lest it was too late, Lu Weiwei really drove him away, Aunt Lu and Lu Wei encountered a problem, he had to stay whatever he said, share it with them, and solve it together!

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei had no choice but to let him go, and immediately entered the main room with Li Shi.

I saw Lu Dani'er sitting in an armchair closest to the door with a face full of embarrassment and panic. She had indeed lost weight, her eyes were red and swollen, and her clothes were dirty and messy. Unbearable.

Seeing Lu Weiwei coming in, she hurriedly got up and called out in a low voice: "Xiaowei, I...", but she just started talking, and the tears had already flowed down, and she looked more and more pitiful.

Lu Weiwei had instinctive doubts at first. Why did the Lu family give her such a bad impression all these years, and there was no good one?

Seeing Lu Dani'er in such a mood, the two doubts disappeared, and said: "Sister, please sit down, don't be so restrained, my uncle and aunt's family are very good people, since you are here as a guest, it is natural for them to be the host. I will treat you well, you don't have to..."

Lu Danier interrupted her crying, "Xiaowei, I'm not here to be a guest, I, I... I was forced by my grandparents and my parents, so I escaped. Originally, I didn't have the face to give My aunt and you are causing trouble, but I don't know where else I can go. My grandma's house will definitely not help me, and other relatives and people in the village can't take care of our housework. Looking for my aunt and you, I really don't know what to do, this is, this is..."

Lu Weiwei made her cry until she wanted to frown, but she knew that she was full of panic, what else could she do besides cry?
I had no choice but to talk to Mrs. Li: "Mother, you help the lady in the hall to sit down, we have something to talk about slowly. What about my aunt and cousin... have they all gone to the kitchen? Then let them cook first, don't wait for us , let’s open it later. By the way, Miss, are you hungry, do you want to have something to eat first?”

Li Shi said: "I just asked Mama Wang to serve her a bowl of noodles, and I said I would take a bath, but Xiaowei and you guys should be back by the time, so I didn't take a bath, you shouldn't be hungry right now? "

Lu Danier choked and said: "I'm not hungry right now, I'm just, just...as long as I'm not allowed to marry that fool, I'm willing to do anything and listen to my aunt and Xiaowei. Please help me, save me." help me."

Lu Weiwei still couldn't help frowning, "For a while, my mother and I didn't know what to do. If it's just grandparents who want to promise you to the Sun family, the third uncle and the third aunt can stop you." Stop it, after all, we all know that only parents can make decisions about marriage, but even the third uncle and three aunts agree, so I don't know how to start with this matter."

In this era when the word filial piety came first, parents could sell and kill their own children at will, and no one else could intervene, and even the government didn't have much control over it. To be honest, this matter is really difficult to handle.

Aside from other things, as long as Uncle Lu and Sun Lanhua sue their mother and daughter for "abducting a woman from a good family", they will walk away without food.

But if you don't care about it, a girl's life can only be ruined like this. What happened to this girl is definitely what Lu Weiwei suffered in the past. Her today may still be the tomorrow of Lu Weiwei today...

Lu Dani'er cried more and more choked up, "Xiaowei, please, I don't want to marry that idiot, he's so old, he's still pulling around, he's beating people, he's so strong that he can knock you out with a fist I... His mother is still a shrew, she swears so badly, but she still has to do it, and she is about to kill someone with her family's butcher's knife. Xiaowei, I'm really scared, I really don't want to marry, please, please I'm begging my aunt..."

Li Shi made Lu Dani'er cry so much that her eyes were red.

Xiaowei didn't go back very often. She didn't know what kind of virtue the Sun family had, but she knew it. Da Ni'er said it politely. The whole family is really not easy to mess with, and there is no one good in the whole family. .

It's just that they never dared to provoke her and were always polite to her, so she was willing to rent the land to their family for planting.

But if they want to get married, even a niece like Lu Dani'er who is separated from each other and has never been close, Li Shi is not willing.

She looked at Lu Weiwei and whispered, "Xiaowei, is there really no other way? You have a good brain, at least you can help me think about it."

Lu Weiwei was silent for a moment, and then said: "Mom, I don't have anything to do for now, let me think about it tonight. The big lady will sleep with you tonight, and I will talk about it when I wake up tomorrow, or when I come back from school tomorrow. "

Mrs. Li said "hmm", and was about to say more, when Lu Dani'er cried first: "Xiaowei, I won't wait until tomorrow when you leave school, I'm sure grandpa and my father will come and arrest me. Grandma Yinzi has already taken it away." , you know, if you want grandma to spit out the silver that has been swallowed, it is better to kill her... I beg you to help me, I will listen to you in the future, and I will work for you , I will be your cow and horse in the next life, okay?"

After crying a few times, he said again: "I have no money, I walked to Qingxi. Fortunately, I met a kind person who helped me pay for the boat ride, so I was able to find out all the way to find this place. But my grandfather and my father both If you have money, you can travel by car or boat, maybe, you don’t have to wait for tomorrow, they will find you later... Xiao Wei, good brother, please save me, otherwise I will have to die, anyway, I will die , and definitely don't marry that fool, woo woo woo..."

Lu Weiwei thought that today's traffic is the most bumpy ox cart and donkey cart, which is indeed much faster than walking.

Frowning again, he pulled Mrs. Li to the side and said in a low voice: "Mother, maybe they will come here today. When the big lady comes, I'm sure many people in the village will see it? By then, we will be friends. No, it’s not true if you don’t make friends. Or, send people to hide for three to five days first, so I have time to think about it? Uncle is not at home. My aunt and cousin are worried about it. My cousin is young, so I can’t It scares them."

Li sympathized with Lu Danier, but in her heart, her daughter, sister-in-law, nephew and niece must be more important.

I regretted again that I shouldn't have kept him, and said in a low voice, "Then why not send him back? Originally, no one else can care about these things..."

Lu Weiwei didn't speak.

If her mother could really be so hard-hearted, it wouldn't be her, it would be herself, wouldn't she be able to do the same thing if she silently recited "It's none of your business"?
After a while, she said: "Let's send the big lady out of the village right now. When someone meets them, they say they are sending her back, but in reality they send her into the city, find a clean inn, and settle down first, even if it doesn't cure the root cause. At any rate, let’s treat the symptoms first. As long as they can’t find someone, even if they still refuse to call off the engagement, at least they have to postpone the wedding date so that they can have enough time to move around.”

Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "Is this okay? Is the inn in the city safe? The key point is that your eldest sister is a girl, and she has suffered such a big grievance. I don't know if she is willing to let her stay in the inn alone. Ken?"

Lu Weiwei wanted to roll her eyes.

If Lu Danier refuses to go to the inn, then go back to Lujia Village and marry a fool. She believes that she must know how to choose. If she wants to change her destiny, she can't rely on others alone, the key is to stand up for herself.

Lu Weiwei was about to ask Lu Danier when Aunt Li came to ask them to eat, "Sister, Xiaowei, let's eat first after the sky falls. There are only so few people, how about two rounds of meals? Eat first, Xiaowei is studying." God, who has spent a whole day, must be hungry."

Lu Weiwei was indeed hungry for a long time, and she also thought of a way, and she just waited for the meal to be implemented.

Then he said to Li Shi: "Mother, let's listen to my aunt, let's eat first, and I will send the hall sister away after dinner, don't worry, I will find her a very safe place, and nothing will go wrong. "

Lu Dani'er hurriedly said: "Xiaowei, you mean, you want to send me away and refuse to help me, please don't..."

Lu Weiwei saw that she was about to cry again, so she could only hold back her temper, "It's not that I won't help you, but I will send you to a safe inn first, and when your father and the others find them, they can't find anyone, so naturally I can only leave gone."

As long as it's not their own family that's in the wrong, even if their uncle isn't around, they can't still suffer a loss on their own territory.

Lu Danier said with a mournful face: "Am I alone? Then I definitely don't dare. If there are bad people or ghosts, I'm afraid... And if my father and grandpa go to one inn after another, they will definitely find me Yes, Xiaowei, is there no other way? You have so many classmates, there must be a lot of rich families, can you send me to their houses to hide for a while?"

"I can work, I can do anything, as long as you give me a bite to eat, so that my father and grandpa can't find me, or even if they know where I am, they don't dare to come to find me. It's been a long time , if the Sun family can't marry anyone, they must take the bride price back and marry someone else, then I will be safe and I can go back."
