"What's the good news?" Wei Shuisheng put the book in his hand on the quilt and said with a smile, Li Xiaoqi didn't sell Guan Zi, and said with a smile: "Guo Minda sent the steward over, saying that the list will be released tomorrow, and Brother Shui Sheng ranks seventh in the second class, is this a happy event?" Wei Shuisheng was stunned, turned his head to look at Li Xiaoqi and asked, "I'm disabled, you?" What's going on? Wei Shuisheng's eyes flashed with a hint of distress and anxiety, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly explained with a smile: "I didn't do anything, you are disabled, you are also considered to be a middle and upper handicap, but you are missing a hand, I have checked the criminal law, but I have not seen a single disabled person who cannot be a person, besides, in all dynasties, this disabled person can be a lot of serious people, and all of them are famous ministers and capable ministers, no need for me to list, you know more than me, but I made a little deal with them, and returned the seal, not all for your fame, after all, the assassin entered from our house." , and was once taken in by the Fan family, and brought in as a servant, how can we get away from the Fan family for a while? Yesterday morning, someone was impeached in the court, so I simply paid the atonement, a useless thing, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time, and I mentioned it incidentally to your fame. Li Xiaoyi's words were casual and joyful, Wei Shuisheng breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed again: "This seal is your •••••• from birth to death."

"I'm not uncommon for this kind of vain thing, it's a happy event, isn't it? There is a bigger happy event, you must not have imagined, didn't Shui Yan accompany Shui Hou Ye to come to see you today, when he left, Shui Yan said to me, you and Shui Lian's family affairs, they also think it is very suitable. Li Xiaoqi proudly shook the corner of the handkerchief in his hand back and forth, and said happily, Wei Shuisheng looked at Li Xiaoqi in amazement, stayed for a moment and asked, "What did you do with Miss •••••• Shui?" What's going on? How? ”

"Brother Shuisheng," Li Xiaoqi patted Wei Shuisheng's arm, thought for a while and explained: "You know that the Seventh Lady has this heart for you, whose parents don't love their children?" This is one, two, Brother Shui is so good, you can see it with long eyes, and what, isn't it mine, if I think you and the Seventh Lady are not a good match, I wouldn't have let the Seventh Lady know you, and I wouldn't let her come in to see you yesterday, you can rest assured, there is still business, I think this family matter should not be delayed, but in a hurry, this matter must not be sloppy, we have to do this happy event in a beautiful way, no matter what, we can't wronged the Seventh Lady, don't you say? Head the same, this matchmaker has to pick a good one, tomorrow I will go to King Liang to see if I can invite him to be this big matchmaker, you see? Wei Shuisheng relaxed and leaned back on the pillow, sighed lightly and nodded: "Listen to your arrangement, Xiaoyi, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, my hand is going to be broken, and it should be broken, this is my life, don't go to your heart, don't keep thinking about it, always thinking about making up for something, don't blame you, do you hear?" ”

Li Xiaoyi's nose was sour, he nodded hurriedly, Wei Shuisheng had a smile on his face, and then said: "We countrymen all believe in fate, and we can't believe it, you see, in the past three years, we have escaped from Lijia Village in blood, from Chizhou Mansion to Taiping Mansion, then to Zhengcheng, and then to this Kaiping Mansion, aren't they all fates?" My severed hand was meant to be, I know, no one can blame it, do you hear it? Li Xiaoqi nodded again and again, held back his tears and smiled: "Brother Shuisheng's family business, I have long been optimistic, this is also your life, you see, even if you break your hand, this marriage is still your marriage, this fame is still your fame, I also believe in fate." Wei Shuisheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at Li Xiaoqi and shook his head while laughing, Li Xiaoqi said a few more words with him, then said goodbye and went back to the half-acre garden to rest.

The next day, the list was released, and the willow alley was suddenly lively, Zhang Gouzi and others, Sister Zhang, Mrs. Sun and Ming Wan rushed over early in the morning to help, Yu Yuanshan told Su Zicheng a day off the night before, and came to Li Mansion to help, Wei Shuisheng was seriously injured in bed, there were only women in the house, if there was no man who knew etiquette and knew how to entertain on the scene, he was busy sending away a handful of good news, scattering money, loose inkstones, and auspicious bags, and receiving the housekeepers and stewards who came to congratulate them. After a busy day, until the red and festive red lanterns were hung everywhere, the willow alley was quieter, and Mama Zhang had already ordered someone to prepare a few tables and first-class seats, which were separated inside and out, and it was lively again.

Shen Pozi didn't get Wei Shuisheng's seriously injured letter until Wei Shuisheng raised the happy letter on this day, Mama Zhang was afraid that she would get angry and aggravate the illness after hearing the letter, and secondly, she couldn't help if she knew, until Wei Shuisheng's letter was noisily passed into the house, Mama Zhang took time out of her busy time, and personally went over to tell Shen Pozi about the causes and consequences of Wei Shuisheng's serious injury, and gave a few more instructions, before accompanying her to the lotus root courtyard to see Wei Shuisheng. In the evening, Mrs. Shen inquired about Li Xiaoqi and returned to the half-acre garden, counting the time, it was time to eat and rest, so she was accompanied by the red orange and went to the half-acre garden to find Li Xiaoqi to talk.

Li Xiaoqi took her in, Wisteria served refreshments up, Shen Pozi looked at Li Xiaoqi carefully, and sighed after a while: "You have lost a lot of weight, but you can't lose weight anymore, and if you are thin, you will do it." ”

"Well, I know, I've eaten a lot in the past two days, and Grandma's fish head is the most delicious, or Grandma will burn the fish head for me tomorrow." Li Xiaoqi replied with a smile, and Mrs. Shen hurriedly smiled and agreed: "It's easy!" It's easy to eat every day, just right, let people buy more black fish back, black fish stew, the wound is the most effective, buy me to stew, simmer slowly, a fish only stew out of a bowl of soup, thick and fragrant, aquatic food is better! Li Xiaoqi hurriedly turned his head and told Wisteria to let people buy a few black fish back tomorrow, the two chatted for a while, Shen Pozi got up to say goodbye, Li Xiaoqi helped her to go straight to the gate of the half-acre garden, and instructed the two mothers-in-law to carry the lantern to send Shen Pozi back.

From the next day, Wei Shuisheng met in the camp and tried for a while, who knew the text, and had so many faces, successively went to Liushu Hutong to visit the seriously injured Wei Shuisheng, Li Xiaoqi also ignored these, only relying on Mama Zhang to receive Zhang Luo, he asked for a car early in the morning, counting that Su Zicheng should go to the morning court, and set off to Liang Wangfu to find Su Zicheng to discuss the family affairs of Wei Shuisheng and Shuilian, Su Zicheng's sincerity was unexpected and expected, Li Xiaoqi smiled and discussed with him: "•••••• really don't want to wronged the Shuilian girl." , This matter, I want to go back later, let Yu Yuanshan go to the fourth master of the water to ask for a word, if it is done, I want to invite a decent big matchmaker, or else, the prince will be this matchmaker? Su Zicheng shook his head while laughing: "This matchmaker is highly respected, how can I succeed?" Don't worry about this, I will find a matchmaker for you who is highly respected and can suppress this family business•••••• and you don't need to find someone else, the old prime minister is very suitable! Wei Lao Cheng has been the prime minister for more than ten years, and his academic character is extremely rare, and the four words of high morality and respect are enough to deserve it, and he and the Shui family have been friends for several generations. ”

"Old Prime Minister? Princess Ning's father? ”

"That's him, how's that? Afford it, right? Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, Li Xiaoyi's eyes were crooked with a smile, and he nodded again and again: "It's really more suitable than you, then it's annoying to the prince, I'll do the things ahead, on the day of marriage, the prince wants to come to drink a glass of wine." Su Zicheng was stunned and asked in surprise: "Getting married in the past few days?" ”

"How do you get married these days? Yesterday, I heard Mama Zhang say that these six ceremonies went all the way down, and it didn't take three or four months, besides, Brother Shuisheng's injuries are not healed, so I have to wait for the injury to be almost recuperated, besides, I still want to wait for you to come back and drink this cup of wine, don't worry, autumn. Li Xiaoqi smiled and was in a very good mood, and Su Zicheng was also in a relaxed and happy mood: "Don't just wait for me to come back, right?" When I'm back, you can come back, your eldest brother and they can come back, and then the marriage is lively. Li Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows, waiting for himself to come back? She didn't plan to go to war with him, she didn't know how to fight, she couldn't even run, what was she going to do? Besides, she's got a lot of things! Brother Shui is injured again, and she hasn't been able to rest well for most of the year! Li Xiaoqi glanced at Su Zicheng, thought about it and swallowed it back, forget it, this is not the time to talk about this, and there is no hurry to talk about this matter, wait and see.

Yu Yuanshan received Li Xiaomi's entrustment, first wrote a letter of worship for people to send over, hurriedly rushed back to bathe and wash, changed into new clothes, everything stopped, and got a reply over there, Yu Yuanshan specially called a sedan chair, Shi Shiran went to the water four masters' mansion, this trip was naturally happy, Yu Yuanshan left Wei Shuisheng's eight characters, and sleeved the eight characters of the water lotus out, and personally sent them to Willow Hutong, Li Xiaoqi took two copies of the eight characters, and took Zhang Mama to go to Kaibao Temple to approve it, and the eight characters of the two people were also auspicious. As soon as he came back, Nanning had already rushed to the mansion to wait for Su Zicheng's reply, and it was already appropriate to ask Prime Minister Wei to do the big match. Li Xiaoqi exhaled, the big thing has been decided, and she doesn't have to worry about the future, anyway, those cumbersome etiquette is exquisite, she is dizzy when she listens to it, just leave it to Mama Zhang and Mama Lu to take care of it best.

Prime Minister Wei Lao has been living in seclusion in the villa outside the city, Tete came back to do this big match, and went to Ningwangfu to live for a day before returning to the outside of the city, this scene looked at the little Dingli that was not much extravagant, and in a blink of an eye it became the most talkative thing in Kaiping Mansion, and for a while the limelight of Wu Zhuangyuan was also covered, and the willow alley suddenly became very lively, those who didn't know each other, those who couldn't climb up, all happily sent congratulatory gifts, condolences to Wei Shuisheng's serious injury, Mama Zhang and Mama Lu commanded the whole house, and they were so busy that they couldn't connect their feet. Li Xiaoqi didn't care about these things at all, seeing that Wei Shuisheng's injury was gradually stabilizing, and it was barely scabbed, his heart that had been in the air was finally put down, and he ordered Wisteria to prepare incense and candles, quietly went out of the city to Kaibao Temple to put incense, and went to Liang Wangfu on an errand the next day.
