He couldn't bear the hot look in this man's eyes.
When Li Qiao's kiss fell again, he closed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
He likes Li Qiao so much.
These days, the two of them seem to be trying to make up for the missing share of happiness, and they stay up late every day.
At this moment, I was not only happy, but also as sweet as eating honey, so the two of them went straight to bed.
In the evening, it's dinner time.
After making dinner, Li Dashan stood at the door of the backyard and shouted several times. When no one answered, he turned around with a clear face.
He put part of the dinner in a pot to keep it warm. His uncle and uncle Zhu would eat whenever they were hungry.
The next day, the cold wind that had been blowing all day stopped, but the light rain began to fall. The light rain was like silk, and soon covered the world with a layer of water vapor.
It was wet and cold, so Li Qiao simply set the kang on fire.
In the morning, he and Tao Zhu were checking whether there were any omissions in their luggage, when Zhuang Wen came.
Zhuang Wen finally made a decision. This time he and Li Qiao went to the capital to participate in the examination.
"I am getting older, and my ambition has been worn down by thirty years of studying. If I miss this time, I will have to wait another three years. In three years, I don't know if I will have the physical strength to survive the examination."
This provincial examination made him exhausted, let alone the general examination three years later.
Three years later he was three years older, nearly fifty, and the examination was in February.
Although February is not the coldest time, the temperature is also very low.
Even though he was wearing thick clothes, he probably wouldn't be able to bear it if he stayed in that small room with no doors or windows for nine days.
So, he didn't wait any longer and went to the capital with Li Qiao.
No matter what the outcome, he accepts it.
"You have real talent and knowledge. If I take the exam with you, I will definitely be happy with you." Zhuang Wen said to Li Qiao with a smile.
"Brother Wen, you have accumulated a lot of experience. You are the only one who won the exam. Believe in yourself and you may get good results."
Li Qiao felt that Zhuang Wen's success was more due to himself.
Zhuang Wen laughed when he heard this: "Okay, brother, I will lend you a favor and try to get a Jinshi degree."
Of course, it doesn't matter if he was born as a Jinshi. When the time comes, he will make some arrangements, even if it means becoming a tutor in the academy, then he is willing to do so.
Zhuang Wen decided to go to the capital to take the exam, and immediately started packing his luggage after returning home.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went to the county town to find Han Ning. They followed the Han family's motorcade north to Beijing. Now that there was an additional bookmaker, they must tell Han Ning.
However, when he walked to the gate of the county town, Li Qiao saw a familiar carriage, which belonged to Xu Ying.
Xu Ying had dark circles on her face and looked haggard.
Seeing Li Qiao, he rubbed his face and forced out a smile: "Brother Li, I have decided. I want to go to the capital with you to take the exam."
"Are you sure?" Li Qiao was a little surprised.
"Yes. But before that, I have to get married to Brother Hua. But don't worry, our departure will not be delayed."
Xu Ying said again.
"ah?"
Li Qiao was stunned.
Tao Zhu also opened his eyes wide, what's going on?
Chapter 99 Shen Hua is unwilling to marry, they are all supporting roles, Li Qiao has less plot, solve Zhou Mingsheng
"You want to marry Brother Hua? This is too hasty. Brother Xu, what happened?"
Li Qiao looked at Xu Ying's obviously abnormal expression and asked with concern.
"I was in a bit of a hurry, and I will have wronged Brother Hua, but when I come back from the capital, I will definitely do it again. Then I will marry Brother Hua home in a glorious manner. But this time I will only invite relatives and friends from Pingcheng. , Brother Li, you husband and wife must come to have a wedding banquet."
Xu Ying said and got on the carriage again: "Time is tight. Brother Li, you go and do your work first. I'll go to the Shen family."
"Brother Zhu and I are not in a hurry, but Brother Xu, do you have any use for me? You're welcome, just ask."
Li Qiao wanted to know what happened.
Are you only inviting relatives and friends from Pingcheng to this wedding?
This sentence contains too much information.
Could it be that Xu Ying and the Xu family had a falling out?
Of course, he really wanted to help.
He had little contact with Shen Hua, but had more contact with Tao Zhu. According to Tao Zhu, Shen Hua was the squeamish and rich version of Zheng Qianqian, and he was a very good younger brother.
His impression of Shen Hua was not bad either.
Of course he hoped that Shen Hua would marry well.
As for Xu Ying himself, he didn't know if Xu Ying knew the Xu family's plans, but since they met, Xu Ying gave him the impression that he was a gentle gentleman, gentle as jade, modest, hard-working, mild-tempered and not overly angry, and he also loved the food produced by his family. All good food is a very worthy friend.
He couldn't convict Xu Ying until Xu Ying really painted a picture.
Therefore, he really wanted to help at this moment.
Hearing this, Xu Ying smiled bitterly, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "As long as it doesn't delay your husband's business, then let's go to Shen's house together."
Li Qiao had to know sooner or later, he couldn't hide it.
"I won't delay."
So Li Qiao got on the bullock cart and followed the Xu family's carriage to the Shen family.
Although Shen Xuezheng was only a ninth-grade official, the Shen family was originally a small landowner, and his wife came from the Xu family and had a rich dowry, so the Shen family's house was quite large, with enough room for four people.
Shen Xue was in the academy. Mrs. Shen, Shen Hua's brother and sister-in-law, and Shen Hua entertained Xu Yingli, Qiao Tao and Zhu.
Xu Ying drank the tea, then stood up, walked to Mrs. Shen in two steps, lifted up her clothes and knelt down: "Aunt, I came to the Shen family today to propose marriage to Brother Hua. I beg Aunt to marry Brother Hua to me. I."
"I came in a hurry and didn't bring a betrothal gift, but I promise you and my uncle that I will treat Brother Hua well in my life and not let him be wronged. If I violate my oath, I will lose my reputation and regain my white body. "
Mrs. Shen: "..."
Brother Shen Hua and his sister-in-law: "..."
Shen Hua: "..."
Li Qiao immediately went to see Tao Zhu. Tao Zhu's eyes were wide open, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Just bring it up like this?
And he made such a strong oath?
Did Xu Ying really not know the Xu family's plans before?
"Ying'er, what happened?" Mrs. Shen frowned.
"Mom, I want to say a few words to my cousin!"
After regaining consciousness, Shen Hua spoke before Xu Ying.
Mrs. Shen: "..."
She looked at Shen Hua's thin cheeks and frowned even more.
Her youngest son started to feel depressed after he came back from Fucheng the year before last. She asked him countless times, but Brother Hua's answer was that it was nothing.
But look at the situation in front of you...
Shen Hua took Xu Ying back to his own yard.
However, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he stopped and turned to look at Xu Ying.
Looking at the dark circles on Xu Ying's face, he was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Is it okay if you didn't sleep last night?"
"I rushed to Pingcheng to propose marriage and didn't bother to sleep." Xu Ying shook her head gently.
"Do you want to marry me so much?" Shen Hua twitched the corner of his mouth, with a mocking look on his face that had lost its baby fat.
Now it was Xu Ying's turn to be silent.
The painting brother, who had always been attached to him, actually looked sarcastic towards him...
His heart felt stuffy, he raised his hand to rub it, and then said: "I'm sorry, I have neglected you in the past two years. I should have noticed something was wrong with you. My cousin has not done his duty well." .”
Brother Hua must have known what his family members were thinking, so he became thinner and thinner, with fewer and fewer smiles on his face.
But he only asked briefly a few times.
Brother Hua explained that he lost weight as he grew taller, and smiled less as he became more stable.
He actually believed these two reasons.
On the one hand, he is stupid, and on the other hand, he really doesn't care about Brother Hua. If he puts Brother Hua at the forefront of his heart, he will definitely get to the bottom of it.
He was wrong.
"Besides that, I have to say I'm sorry. I shouldn't have delayed you for so long. I should have married you long ago."
"I still have to apologize for my family. I'm sorry, I didn't know they thought that way. But in the end, it's still my fault, but don't worry, no matter whether I can get Jinshi or not when I go to the capital this time, you don't have to talk to my family. People live together and they don’t welcome you, but I welcome you.”
"But are you still willing to marry me..."
At the end of the story, Xu Ying obviously lost her confidence.
He is willing to marry, but looking at Brother Hua's attitude, it seems that he doesn't intend to marry him...
When he returned home this time, his family was so happy that they held banquets to celebrate for several days.
After the celebration, while he was hesitating whether to go to Beijing to take part in the examination, he planned to come to the Shen family.
During the years when he was taking the exams for scholar and examination, he had been living in the Shen family. The Shen family regarded him as their own son. Now that he had won the imperial examination, he naturally wanted to come to the Shen family to thank his uncle and aunt.
Moreover, regardless of whether he participated in the examination or not, he had to propose marriage to Shen Hua.
