Unexpectedly, Li Qiao was so impressive. Not only did he win the first place in the county examination and the prefectural examination, but the current emperor even wrote an article for him!
Li Qiao will definitely take off!
As a result, Li Dazhong, a rough guy who couldn't read a single Chinese character, had a net worth that was rising like a monkey in the sky.
Hehe, luckily Baiyou had decided on this marriage in advance, otherwise when Li Qiao took part in the palace examination and stood in front of the Holy Master two years later, Baiyou, a widower, might not be able to reach Li Dazhong.
Bai Jiaoyu's attitude towards the marriage took a big turn. On the day Baiyou and Li Dazhong got married, not only did he come to Sanliu Village in person, he also invited his colleagues, including colleagues and subordinates from the county school, as well as relatives and friends. .
The Bai family is so supportive, and the Li family is naturally supportive as well.
Li Qiao is the only one in the Li family who can do it, but this is enough. On that day, Li Qiao took a group of men from the Li family to Bai's house to welcome him. Bai Jiaoyu stood at the door of Bai's house to greet him personally.
Because the county seat is too far away from Sanliu Village, Baiyou rode not in a sedan chair, but in a festively decorated carriage.
Bai You got on the carriage, and Li Qiao also got on his own ox cart. Bai Jiaoyu should have taken the Bai family's carriage, but he squeezed into Li Qiao's ox cart instead. Along the way, he talked about Bai You and refused to follow him. Instead of talking about the family's misfortunes before, he started talking about Baiyou's advantages.
What are the advantages of white pomelo?
The biggest advantage is having money!
Baiyou's father is the youngest son of a large landowner in Peishui County next door. When he married Bai Jiaoyu, he brought a thousand acres of farmland with him. After Baiyou's father died, the thousand acres of farmland became Baiyou's.
In addition, there are several shops in Baiyou.
Therefore, although Baiyou has been married before, there are still many people who want to marry him based on this dowry alone.
Li Qiao listened to Bai Jiaoyu's words and agreed with a smile on his face, and also began to talk about Li Dazhong's advantages.
Although Li Dazhong is poor and has two children, Li Dazhong himself is diligent, honest, and independent-minded, and will not be manipulated by his parents.
When Bai Jiaoyu heard this, the smile on his face grew wider. It seemed that Li Qiao was very close to his cousin Li Dazhong.
When Li Qiao ascends to the throne in the future, Li Dazhong will definitely be reused.
By then, he will most likely be able to benefit from it!
Although the teachings were good, he still wanted to move up a level, such as becoming a county magistrate, which would be so prestigious.
However, to have integrity as a scholar, you cannot rely solely on nepotism.
With this in mind, Bai Jiaoyu invited Li Qiao to participate in a poetry gathering organized by him. It was not necessary to talk about poetry, but also to exchange other things.
The participants are all scholars, which will definitely be helpful to Li Qiao's improvement.
Although Li Qiao has Huang Youming as a private tutor and Zhuang Wen as a half-private tutor, there is not too much tutoring.
As long as Li Qiao is willing, his teachings can also become Li Qiao's personal tutor!
Regarding Bai Jiaoyu's enthusiasm, Li Qiao politely declined. He was just taking the exam to become a scholar, so he wouldn't bother with Bai Jiaoyu as a candidate.
If there are really doubts that Huang Youming and Zhuang Wen can't solve in the future, then he will come to ask for advice. I hope Bai Jiaoyu won't find him annoying at that time.
In this way, during the social interaction between Bai Jiaoyu and Li Qiao, the team to pick up the bride came to Sanliu Village.
Baiyou and Li Dazhong's new house is right behind Li Qiao's house, and the overall layout is similar to Li Qiao's house.
Although Baiyou and Li Dazhong are not engaged in business, Baiyou has maids, young men, women, and coachmen, and these servants need to live in the front yard.
The spacious, brand-new courtyard was clean, with red silk hanging on the door and under the eaves, and the courtyard was full of people, making it look very festive and lively.
The bridegroom comes in and pays homage directly.
First, they worship heaven and earth, and secondly, they bow to the high hall. The couple bows to each other before entering the bridal chamber.
Li Dazhong took Baiyou to the backyard, where the crowd was busy preparing for a banquet.
Li Dao and Zhao Erniu were very happy. Baiyou directly gave Li Dazhong 500 taels of silver to arrange the marriage. Although not a penny of the money has fallen into their hands at present, if it goes into Li Dazhong's pocket, it means it goes into their pocket. .
Hey, their son married a young man from an official family, and his family is proud of his ancestors!
With the support of Bai Jiaoyu and Li Qiao, as well as Baiyou's financial support, the marriage went smoothly and the guests enjoyed themselves.
In the afternoon, friends and relatives who had had a banquet returned home, and the lively courtyard became deserted.
The Li family did not leave, but stayed to help wash the dishes and clear the tables and chairs.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu didn't leave either. Li Qiao grabbed a broom and was sweeping the floor, while Tao Zhu was tidying up the tables and chairs and picking out his own chairs.
When holding a wedding event in the countryside, all the tables and chairs used were borrowed. His house was close and the chairs at home were newly made, so they were moved here.
After picking out their own chairs and about to put them on the cart and push them home, Baiyou and Li Dazhong came out of the backyard.
Baiyou had a smile on her face. Although Li Dazhong didn't smile, his face was a little red.
Both of them changed out of the red wedding clothes they wore during the ceremony and put on homely clothes.
Li Dazhong saw that everyone was busy and trotted forward to help.
Baiyou glanced at his figure, curled her lips, and then walked towards Tao Zhu to help move the chair to the cart.
"Brother Youyou, you are the newlywed, rest quickly, I will do it myself." Tao Zhu said hurriedly.
"It's just a matter of moving a chair. I'm not tired."
Bai You shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Hua is coming the day after tomorrow. How about we take him to plant watermelons?"
Since he decided to marry Li Dazhong, he bought a field in Sanli Town, not far from Sanliu Village.
"Okay. I see Brother Hua is a little distracted today." Tao Zhu nodded.
Hearing this, Baiyou glanced around the yard, then approached Tao Zhu and whispered in his ear: "You and Li Qiao will come back after the government examination. Brother Hua stayed at the Xu family, didn't he?"
"Brother Hua overheard Xu Ying's mother's plan, saying that she would not marry the Shen family until Xu Ying was admitted to the Juren Examination. Xu Ying's mother felt that Xu Ying had a bright future, while Brother Hua's father was just a county school student. Xue Zheng is a ninth-grade official, so Brother Hua is not worthy of Xu Ying."
"Brother Hua was very sad. He didn't show anything strange in front of the Xu family. He went home on the grounds that I was about to get married."
"But ever since I came home, she has been crying to me every day."
"Oh, poor thing."
"...What's Xu Ying's attitude?" Tao Zhu was surprised and quickly asked the most important thing.
"Brother Hua didn't ask, Xu Ying treated him just like before."
Tao Zhu: "..."
No wonder I saw Shen Hua wilting today. Even if he smiled, it was just a forced smile.
The Xu family went too far.
But at this time he could only say: "When he comes over the day after tomorrow, let's spend some time with him to relax."
"Okay, let's call Brother Qian."
Baiyou nodded.
While talking, the two moved all the chairs in Tao Zhu's house to the cart. Tao Zhu was about to push the cart home, but he asked Baiyou to stay.
"Go and help Brother Dazhong. He obviously has no job and doesn't even dare to look at you." He smiled and pointed at Li Dazhong who was busying around.
The table has obviously been wiped once, but Li Dazhong took a rag and had to do it again. Isn't this obviously a lack of work?
Hearing this, Baiyou remembered what happened in the backyard just now, pursed her lips and smiled softly, and actually walked towards Li Dazhong.
When Li Qiao saw this, he took the big broom in his hand and said Li Dazhong.
"Brother Dazhong, Brother Zhu and I have gone home. I wish you a sweet wedding again!"
He didn't delay the relationship between his newlyweds and went home to have a sweet time with Brother Zhu.
Li Dazhong: "..."
He glanced at the broom in his hand, and then at Baiyou who was walking towards him. His heart tightened and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the broom.
When he was changing clothes just now, Baiyou actually kissed him, and the warm touch still lingered on his face.
This this……
Although he had been arranging marriages before, he always had a responsible attitude. Who let him and Baiyou have rumors.
He also felt distressed for Baiyou.
But it wasn't until Bai You kissed him that he finally felt like they were married again.
It’s not just about getting married for the sake of being responsible.
And I have to lie on the same bed with a young man from an official family...
Hey, I have to take a shower tonight carefully, so I don’t make others dislike me.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu returned home. Li Qiao went to the shower room to take a bath first. He drank some wine with Bai Jiaoyu. He felt the smell of alcohol on his body and wanted to wash it off.
Moreover, today's celebration stimulated him. His shabby marriage back then had wronged Tao Zhu so much that he took Tao Zhu to wash it with him and compensated Tao Zhu in another way.
By the time the two of them got out of the shower room, half an hour had passed and the sun was almost setting.
Tao Zhu washed a plate of cherries and sat under the grape trellis to wash away the greasy food from the wedding banquet.
Today's wedding banquet was mostly filled with meat and vegetables because Baiyou provided the money and Bai Jiaoyu was an official.
Even if it is a vegetarian dish, there is still enough oil.
After eating this wedding banquet, I felt a little tired in my stomach, so I had to eat something refreshing to change the taste.
It was already the wheat harvest time, and the cherries were ripe and tasted better than apples. While chewing the cherries, Tao Zhu relayed to Li Qiao what Baiyou had just told him.
Li Qiao had good hearing and had heard it a long time ago, but at this time he could only pretend that it was the first time he heard it, frowning and complaining for Shen Hua: "The Xu family has gone too far. Xu Ying lived in the Shen family for the past year to study, and Shen Xuezheng gave guidance throughout the process. , sparing no effort, completely treating Xu Ying as his own son."
The Xu family is now trying to burn bridges across the river. No, they haven't crossed the river yet.
"When I see Xu Ying next time, I will test him. If he feels the same way, then I will reduce our contact with him in the future."
"Um!"
Tao Zhu focuses on the focus.
If Xu Ying is really an ungrateful person, then Li Qiao cannot play with such a person.
The next afternoon, Baiyou came.
He looked a little tired, and his eyes were red and bloodshot, but those eyes were smiling, and his whole person showed satisfaction after being nourished.
He didn't know anyone in the village, so he was familiar with Tao Zhu. Li Dazhong went to the old yard to see the two children, so he came to talk to Tao Zhu.
He doesn't hate the two children of Li Dazhong and Han Xiaoyan, and of course, he doesn't like them either.
