little lady

Talented lady, if you come back from the examination, you will be a lady, but what about the officials..."

Hearing this, Li Qiaoer knew who the matchmaker was talking about.There is only one scholar in Lijia Village, but he is not a scholar. He talks about studying all day long, but the things he does are not like Li Xiucai who is a scholar.

The matchmaker was still talking endlessly, as if she had seen Li Xiucai become an official, and there was no room for Mrs. Zhang to intervene.Knowing that her mother was clumsy, she definitely couldn't tell the matchmaker, so Li Qiaoer walked over and lifted the curtain, without looking at the matchmaker, she said directly: "Li Xiucai is in Lijiacun, I grew up in Lijiacun, I'm afraid I know it better than you. I also know that Li Xiucai said it was for studying, but in fact, he exchanged the family members for money and went to the town to eat wine. A few days ago, he was caught by his husband for belittling a beautiful lady in the town. A beating, if the people in our village didn't see it, Li Xiucai would be sent to see an official, and then it wouldn't be resolved with a beating, or he might lose his life."

The eloquence of these words made the matchmaker say that she was embarrassing, forced a smile and said: "This is not, this is not when I have a daughter-in-law, I will definitely take care of it, and I will not be at home every day. Meijiao Niang." That being said, the matchmaker also agreed with Li Qiaoer's attitude in her heart. Her home was a little far away from Li's Village, and she didn't know Li Xiucai's true temperament, but she just wanted to make a good marriage.

Now hearing Li Qiaoer's words, the matchmaker also understands why so many matchmakers in the neighborhood don't look for her, and they insist on looking for her, who is far away, because they want to hide their news.I don't know as well as others, and the matchmaker suddenly couldn't say anything else, so she praised Li Qiaoer a few more words, and got off the kang in a hurry.

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Li Qiaoer laughed and said: "Li Xiucai just ran out of money and went to the doctor in a hurry. Don't take it to heart."

"That is, that is." The matchmaker borrowed the donkey from the slope and left in a hurry, making up her mind to go back and smear Li Xiucai. There is no such thing as cheating people, that is, Li Qiaoer's family has a good temper. It is possible for her to forcefully drive her away with a hoe. Who made her feel wronged in the first place.

And the reason why Li Qiaoer is polite to the matchmaker here is also because the matchmaker has a lot of marriages and reputation issues with her mouth. If she wants to discredit a person, she can find a few colleagues to communicate with each other. A person's reputation is bound to sink to the bottom.

Sending away a matchmaker, Mrs. Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. She is clumsy and doesn't know how to speak. The same is true for Li Dafu. She is a real and honest person. Fortunately, Li Qiaoer really deserves her name. Mouth.

The mother and daughter got together to talk heartfelt words, and two ox carts were parked outside the gate of Li's house, which were full of gifts.Some people who like to be lively yelled excitedly, attracting more people to come out to watch. Even Li Dafu was told by the kind neighbors and hurried to the house, but Li Qiaoer and Mrs. Zhang didn't know.

Generally, people who see each other on a blind date will find an opportunity to reveal their tone, and then exchange messages with each other. After calculating the auspicious date, the man will make an appointment and agree to get married in a few years, or if he is in a hurry to get married, it will happen in a short time. Marry the woman.

It's just that Li Qiaoer only agreed to Shen Qing before, and didn't exchange invitations, and didn't find someone to calculate the date, so it's really out of courtesy to come here to hire and propose marriage.How did she know that Shen Qing didn't want to reveal her identity, and naturally she couldn't show her birth date for others to see, but this person didn't want to just marry Li Qiaoer so dryly, so she bought all kinds of gifts in the town. The Li family can be regarded as an expression of affection.

Shen Qing couldn't say anything, but she was somewhat satisfied with Li Qiaoer in her heart. She had planned for a long time, thinking that she would be exposed in the future. If Li Qiaoer didn't like it, she also had a way to take Li Qiaoer to the capital, so that the Li family could live a prosperous life. Even if Li Qiaoer advocates reconciliation in the future, she will definitely not embarrass the other party.

Shen Qing made such a decision after thinking of everything before and after, but in the eyes of the Li family, it seemed extremely abrupt.

Mrs. Zhang and Li Dafu only had such a daughter, and it was too late for the baby, so how could they just marry off their daughter in such a vague way?Although all the gifts placed in the yard were really dazzling, there was a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper and gave a gift list, which was a long one.Mrs. Zhang and Li Dafu were illiterate, and the three literate sons were not at home. It was Li Qiaoer who came forward to accept the gift list. After reading it quickly, she asked Mrs. Zhang to reward the shopkeeper and the boy who moved things away, and then sent them away. Close the door, out of sight of neighbors, and analyze the matter at home.

From the handling of the previous few incidents, it can be seen that Li Qiaoer is really smart, this time she also vaguely guessed Shen Qing's purpose, she felt a little displeased, but she did not speak out to Zhang and Li Dafu.There are many things involved in Ling'er's affairs. Li Qiaoer knows that her family has no way to deal with officials and lords. If she is a native countryman, if she is chased by the magistrate, not only Ling'er will be in danger, but the entire Li family will also face the danger of destruction. .

Although she didn't know much about Shen Qing, and even met her a few times, Li Qiaoer decided to trust her.Even if you don't like this person, you can evaluate him objectively. Shen Qing is a responsible person, and Li Qiaoer believes in her choice.

It's just that you can only think about these things in your heart, but you can't say that when facing Zhang Shi and Li Dafu. Li Qiaoer had to rack her brains to think of an excuse, using her admiration for Mr. Shen as an excuse, and saying that the other party had a calm personality and did these things. There must be other difficulties, but it's not convenient to tell himself, and he just praised Shen Qing to the sky.When Li Dafu and Zhang's dubiously stopped pursuing this matter, Li Qiaoer felt guilty for cheating her parents, but at the same time felt that she didn't like Shen Qing even more.

Without even looking at the gift from Shen Qing, Li Qiaoer just grabbed Linger and said secretly: "My marriage is ruined, and if I really marry in the future, I must firmly hold on to my life, Linger, you just want to marry me. Just follow me."

"Sister, don't say that, I think Mr. Shen likes you very much." Speaking of this, Ling'er also thought about what happened today, so she stopped talking, unable to continue.

Li Qiaoer didn't take it to heart either, she had already told Mrs Zhang that she would go to a fortune teller who could calculate the date, and get engaged and married directly according to the best date for her birthday.Presumably, since Shen Qing concealed all these things, she would not comment too much on the calculation of the days.

The next day Mrs. Zhang came back from the outside, found Li Qiaoer mysteriously, and took out a small note with the fortune-teller's comment on it.I don’t know if this fortune teller has any real skills, but he wrote a lot of bad words in front of him. Li Qiaoer’s fate is special. Only one day is suitable, but this day is also very special. Big days.

Folding the note and putting it away, Li Qiaoer smiled and said, "Mother, how much money did the fortune teller charge you? It's such nonsense. I don't think he dared to say anything, but we have no other basis. Let's get married according to this day, just omit the engagement."

The sooner she is with Shen Qing, the sooner she can use her to protect the Li family and Ling'er, Li Qiaoer has such a plan in her heart.It’s just that it’s not a pleasant feeling to Zhang’s ears, but there is only one fortune teller in the ten miles and eight towns, and I can’t find anyone else. I heard that there is a temple in the state capital, which is very effective. It would take a lot of time to go, and Zhang also knew that Li Qiaoer would definitely not agree, so she just sighed.

Li Dafu didn't have any ideas either, he had to ask Li Qiaoer's opinion on many things, after a long time he actually felt that his precious girl was very powerful, he couldn't think of a way to refute Li Qiaoer's words.

So Li Qiaoer's marriage was decided by herself, and when Shen Qing came again, she gave a date, which was the third day of the next month.

Taking advantage of Li Qiaoer's absence, Shen Qing chatted with Mrs. Zhang for a while, and then covered a lot of what she should know and what she shouldn't know. Knowing that these things were handled by Li Qiaoer, she couldn't help being a little curious, that girl It was unexpected that she was so capable.

When the day came, Shen Qing was also instructed by Mrs. Zhang to do a lot of things. She didn't mention much about the matter of not exchanging geng posts before, but only said a lot of follow-up customs and habits, which must follow the rules of Lijia Village.Shen Qing didn't refute, and carefully wrote down one by one.

Regarding Shen Qing's performance, Mrs. Zhang was quite satisfied, and didn't care too much about it. After all, it would be really good only if her daughter had a good life.After getting married, she must keep an eye on the town with Li Dafu to make sure that Li Qiaoer's life is really good.This is the advantage of being close to her mother's family, and Shen Qing is alone, so she seems to be much weaker. If something happens in the future, then the entire Li family will be Li Qiaoer's retreat and her backing.

But Li Qiaoer is not so optimistic, she still remembers Shen Qing's slightly perfunctory attitude towards her, and she always ignores Shen Qing when she meets him a few times. Li Qiaoer also used this as an excuse to ask Linger to keep people out of the door.

In recent days, Shen Qing may have thought that meeting Li Qiaoer was much more interesting, and she often made excuses to directly let many people in Lijia Village know that this handsome young man is Li Qiaoer's future
