After hearing Zhao Shen's basic information, Li Qiao immediately apologized to Zhao Shen silently in his heart. He was indeed wrong to judge people by their appearance before.
This is still a child.
Since Zhao Shen's character and temperament are fine, and Mr. Zhao doesn't mind this marriage, let Zhao Shen and Li Xia look at each other.
Li Xia's appearance can only be regarded as handsome, but the boy, who is about to turn eighteen, has a thin body, his skin has turned white because he has not worked in the fields in the past few years, he has a good temper and a simple mind.
The whole person can be called innocent.
Zhao Shen was quite satisfied with Li Xia. Of course, he didn't fall in love with Li Xia at first sight, only slightly liked him.
Given his status, he would not be able to reach Li Xia under normal circumstances.
Li Qiao is not an ordinary sixth-grade official, but he and Mr. Zhao are about to leave the fifth server. His distant nephew is really far away.
Relationships can be cultivated slowly, but if you miss such a good marriage, you will never find it again.
Both of them were quite satisfied, but Zhao Shen's identity definitely did not meet Li Chunsheng's expectations. Li Qiao repeatedly confirmed to Li Xia, did he really want to get engaged?
Li Xia is very determined and wants it!
Therefore, Li Qiao could only comfort himself with what he said to Li Dong, forget it, just like Li Xia. Anyway, with his uncle, the number one scholar, in charge, Li Xia has a way out.
The marriage was just settled.
When Li Gu's family is brought over next year, they will get married.
Li Xia is very happy every day now. Zhao Shen comes to see him every day. Zhao Shen has a sweet mouth and can coax people. Li Qiao has overheard it many times because of his good hearing, which makes him wake up every time. Goosebumps.
He felt that he and Tao Zhu were already very close, but compared with this young couple, there was still a gap.
However, it was precisely because Zhao Shen was so good at coaxing people that he felt uneasy.
But he couldn't say this to Tao Zhu openly, so he said: "Zhao Shen has nothing in the capital. After the two of us get married, we can't let Brother Xia follow him out to rent a house. Most of the time, Brother Xia will stay at home." .”
"That's right. Then ask Brother Xia later."
Tao Zhu nodded.
Li Xia is naturally willing to live in the Li family. As Li Qiao said, Zhao Shen has nothing in the capital, and he is not much more courageous than Zhuang Quan and Zhou Yun to let him move out and live in a strange house, even if Even with Zhao Shen around, he wouldn't want to.
He likes to stay at Li's house.
Peace of mind.
What's more important is that he will definitely have to work after getting married, otherwise his Uncle Zhu won't be able to take care of two babies by himself. If he moves out, he will have to travel back and forth to take care of the babies in the future, which will be very troublesome.
Li Qiao was very satisfied with Li Xia's choice, so on the first day of the new year, he specially sent Li Xia a red envelope of two hundred taels and asked him to save it for his dowry.
Of course, so does Li Ershan. Li Xia's life-long event is settled, so Li Ershan must hurry up.

The author has something to say:
Chapter 127 Giving birth. A boy and a little brother. Sheng Hong is sick.
On the first day of the new year, after giving out red envelopes, they celebrated New Year greetings with each other. However, because Tao Zhu was pregnant, Li Qiao, Tao Zhu, and Li Qiao stayed at home instead of going out. Instead, they asked Li Dashan, Zheng Qianqian, and a group of juniors to go to other houses to pay New Year greetings.
At noon, a group of people gathered at Li Qiao's house for a banquet.
Today is a sunny day, so the dining table is set in the yard. There are barbecues, hot pots, and some stir-fries and soups. Everyone can eat whatever they like.
The shop was closed today, and Baiyou and Li Dazhong could finally take a rest. Shen Hua still couldn't smell the fishy smell, so he sat at the same table with Tao Zhu, but this time Li Qiao was also there.
"Brother Qiao, are you afraid that we will starve Brother Zhu?"
Shen Hua said with a smile.
"You should be afraid. After all, Brother Zhu is too embarrassed to do anything to us."
Baiyou also laughed.
Hearing this, Tao Zhu glanced at the men's table not far away and chuckled: "When you get pregnant in the future, your men will definitely stare at you like this."
"Hey, there's no sign yet." Shen Hua said and touched his belly.
He saw that Dr. Chen was very good at taking care of pregnant women, so he asked Dr. Chen to take his pulse when he came to play with Tao Zhu. He found that his health was fine, but the fate had not come yet.
However, what exactly can lead to this fate?
We can't let him be like his Brother Zhu, who has to wait five years to get pregnant.
well.
Baiyou looked at his slumped face and comforted him: "Don't worry, you are busy drawing clothes every day, so how can you have time to get pregnant?"
Shen Hua's little face fell even more when he mentioned painting clothes.
Speaking of which, Brother Qiao gets his share of the Royal Dessert Shop. Although it is only half of the share, he still earns a lot of money every month.
The business of the Royal Cloth Shop is far inferior to that of the Royal Dessert Shop, because every wealthy family has an embroiderer and someone who specializes in making clothes. If the clothes are not very beautiful, then these wealthy families will not spend money to buy them.
Moreover, these wealthy people don't like to wear matching shirts. If others wear them, the rest of the people will not be willing to wear them.
Therefore, the clothes he drew were not just fifty sets. To be precise, he drew fifty major styles, and each major style had at least five sets of clothes with different details.
He has submitted manuscripts twice, and each time the manuscripts have actually doubled, totaling more than three hundred sets.
So many different styles of clothes really cost him a lot of brain cells.
But he gets a fixed salary.
His reward for painting a set of clothes was two taels of silver. In other words, he worked so hard that he could earn seven hundred taels of silver in a quarter.
This money is actually quite a lot, and he couldn't earn so much before.
But, according to his observation, although the business of Royal Cloth Shop is not comparable to that of Royal Dessert Shop, it is not bad either.
So there is a gap in his heart, and he really wants to get a share. Even if the money from the share is less than the fixed salary, he still wants to get a share, after all, he earns it by himself.
Moreover, one can also deduce from his share how much the Royal Cloth Shop earns every month.
This was a business he had worked hard on, and he was too curious about the specific amount of money.
However, he didn't dare to express this kind of little thought. Facing Baiyou's concerned eyes, he could only sigh: "There are not many days until the submission of the manuscript. I still have dozens of paintings left."
"It's okay. Let's think about it together this afternoon and tomorrow."
Baiyou said.
The duck shop and dim sum shop opened on the third day of the Lunar New Year, so he had nothing to do tomorrow.
Zheng Qianqian also said: "That's right, don't panic, we will find a solution together later."
When Shen Hua heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
Tao Zhu couldn't sit for long, so after eating, he got up and walked in the yard. Li Qiao supported him and walked slowly along the wall with him.
After wandering for a long time, Tao Zhu got tired and went back to the house to rest.
Li Qiao originally wanted to rest with him, but Tao Zhu felt that it was the Chinese New Year, and since they were the masters today, they couldn't be away.
So, Li Xia accompanied Tao Zhu, while Li Qiao went to the front yard.
There was rice wine on the man's table. Everyone had been eating and drinking for half an hour, and they were not drunk at all.
After Li Qiao sat down, he also drank a glass of rice wine. After finishing the drink, he reached for the skewers on the table and asked Meng Yue beside him: "I see you are a little distracted, what's the matter? But there is something going on in the officialdom?"
Meng Yue's state today is obviously different from before. She frowns from time to time and is obviously distracted.
As soon as Li Qiao said this, everyone else at the table looked over.
"He is not just absent-minded today, he has been for a long time." Xu Ying said immediately.
"No, you have been focusing on Brother Zhu recently, and you haven't seen him often, so you haven't noticed that he has been like this for a long time."
Zhuang Wen also said.
Brother Meng Yue patted Meng Yue on the shoulder and sighed: "It has been like this for more than three months. That night he didn't go home until it was time to go to the Ministry of Punishment for duty. It has been like this since then."
"However, after that night, he never went out drinking again."
"?"
Didn't go home until it was time to go to the Ministry of Punishment for duty?
This is equivalent to staying out all night.
Several possibilities flashed through Li Qiao's mind. He touched Meng Yue with his elbow: "If you have any difficulties, just ask. Those who can help will definitely help."
"Yes. See what big brother is worried about." Xu Ying also spoke.
menu A little confused."
"Is everything okay?" Li Qiao asked.
"It's really okay!" Meng Yue said, patting her heart: "If something really happened, it has been so long, and something should have happened long ago."
"...Okay." Seeing this, Li Qiao could only reply.
They are all adults, and he believes that Meng Yue has basic judgment.
Seeing this, everyone else gave up asking. Meng Yue had already said so. They couldn't force him to tell what happened that night.
After eating and drinking for more than an hour, everyone dispersed. Zheng Qianqian and Bai You ran to help Shen Hua think about clothes styles, while the rest of the people went back to their homes.
Li Qiao returned to the room. Tao Zhu had just squinted for a while and was already awake.
However, the quilt was warm and soft, and he felt so lazy that he didn't want to think about it.
Li Qiao simply took off his shoes and got into the bed to lie with him.
Li Qiao talked to Tao Zhu about everything except supernatural powers and time travel. He told Tao Zhu about Meng Yue's unhinged spirit. After hearing this, Tao Zhu's eyes widened a little.
"He is..."
"Didn't his superiors keep telling him to go drink? I guess he had sex after drinking." Li Qiao grabbed Tao Zhu's hand and played with it.
Tao Zhu: "..."
"Since he said there's no need to worry, it should be nothing." That's what he said, but Li Qiao didn't think so in his heart.
