Li Mei took a few steps to Laidi’s door. She looked at Laidi, who was anxiously circling the room and said indifferently, “Go out and see him. You’ll be married on the eighth of next month.”
“Aye!” When Laidi heard that Li Fengqi wanted to see her, she hurriedly adjusted her dress in front of the bronze mirror. She glanced at Li Mei, who was standing at the door, and ran into the central room. Li Mei wondered if she had heard her words.
Li Mei watched as Laidi ran happily to the central room. Her eyes could not help but turn red. “Children are all debts!”
Laidi ran to the door of the central room and saw Li Fengqi, whom she had been thinking about day and night. She asked shyly, “You’re here!”
Li Fengqi nodded. He looked at Laidi, who was looking at him with glowing eyes and was a little happy. He smiled and said, “I want to tell you that I’ve already asked Uncle and Aunt for a date. It’s set to be on Uncle and Aunt have also agreed.”
Liu Changmin muttered to himself, “We’re not mutes. That’s how you coaxed that wretched girl away.”
When Laidi heard that the two of them were getting married on the eighth of the next month, she looked at Li Fengqi, who was smiling at her, in surprise and was speechless.
How disgraceful could she get? Liu Changmin glared at the two of them angrily. “Alright, the two of you have met. There’s not much time left until the eighth of October. Go back and prepare!”
“Yes, Uncle. Then I’ll go back first.” Li Fengqi stood up and bowed.
Seeing that Liu Changmin did not even let Li Fengqi eat, Laidi was a little unhappy. On second thoughts, she was about to marry Li Fengqi. She smiled happily at Li Fengqi and said, “I’ll send you off.”
Li Fengqi glanced at the happy Laidi and was also a little happy. He secretly glanced at Liu Changming, who was eyeing him antagonistically and shook his head with a smile. “There’s no need to send me off. I still have to go to Ah
Qing’s house and tell him about our wedding day.”
“Fengqi, Ah Qing seems to be going to the capital to participate in the examination,” Laidi said to Li Fengqi, who had walked out of the central room.
Li Fengqi was stunned. He turned around and glanced at Laidi and Liu Changming. “Is that so? I’ll ask him when we’ll set off.” Laidi watched Li Fengqi walk out of the courtyard.
“Li Qing was about to go to the capital. Why didn’t Laidi tell me? I wonder if it’s too late to leave after we get married.” Li Fengqi arrived at the Li family’s door.
The Li family’s courtyard door was open and they stood at the door. He saw Li Qing lying on a rocking chair and leisurely flipping through a book.
“Ah Qing,” Li Fengqi called. Li Qing looked up and saw Li Fengqi. He smiled and stood up. “What a rare guest. Have you been busy?”
“There’s no one at home to help. I haven’t been able to find time to come over.” Li Fengqi cupped his hands at Li Qing. “Let me tell you, Laidi and I are getting married on the eighth of October. I’m here to invite you to a wedding banquet.”
“Eighth of October.” Li Qing looked at Li Fengqi and was about to speak when he saw Li Mei rush into the courtyard.
“Ah Qing, your cousin and Feng Qi are getting married on the eighth of October. You’re going to the capital to prepare for the exam on the 19th of October. The date is unlucky. Your uncle and I discussed it and felt that it’s more important for you to take the exam. You don’t have to wait for the wedding banquet. Set off with Steward Yue and the others on the 19th!”
Li Fengqi suppressed the displeasure in his heart and forced a smile. “Auntie, Ah Qing can also wait for Laidi and me to get married before we go to the capital to prepare for the exam!”
“Ah Qing and Steward Yue of the Four Seas Bank agreed to set off together. His sister and I are relieved that they can take care of each other when they travel together. Your uncle and I can be around for the wedding. You can leave with the convoy from the government office after the wedding!” Li Mei looked at Li Fengqi and said indifferently.
Li Fengqi looked at Li Mei and thought to himself that it was no wonder she agreed to the wedding date so readily.
Li Qing looked at Li Fengqi’s dark expression and bowed to him in apology. “I’m sorry, Brother Chunshan.”
Li Fengqi looked at Li Qing and thought that he still needed his help in the future. He suppressed the displeasure in his heart and smiled. “Brother Qingbai, there’s no need to be so polite. When Laidi and I get married, we’ll be relatives. I’ll look for you when I reach the capital. There’s not much time left until the wedding day. I have to go back and prepare the things I need for the wedding. I’ll send you off on the 19th.”
“Auntie, I’ll take my leave first.” Li Fengqi bowed to Li Mei and left.
“Thank you, Brother Chunshan.” Li Qing politely sent Li Fengqi back to the courtyard and said to Li Mei, “Aunt, why did you set the wedding date so quickly?”
Li Mei smiled bitterly. “It’s good to let them get married early so that I won’t have a headache watching her. I’ve told you! He just wants to rely on you to climb up. Those who are ranked higher than him are not going to the exam. What right does he have to go? Remember, if he goes to the capital to look for you, don’t help him anymore.”
Li Qing could only reply, “Yes, Aunt.”
After Li Fengqi returned home, he told Old Madam Li that Li Qing was leaving. Old Madam Li asked in surprise, “He doesn’t have many relatives at home. Why wouldn’t he set off with you after the wedding? You can take care of each other on the way.”
“He has the manager of a big bank taking care of him all the way to the capital.
He doesn’t need me to take care of him.”
“Feng Qi! Are you still going to the capital to participate in the examination?” Old Madam Li asked worriedly.
“Grandmother, the reason why I was able to get promoted this time is all thanks to Li Qing’s help after I got engaged to Laidi. I don’t have any confidence in going to the capital to participate in the examination next year, but if I don’t go next year, I’m afraid it’ll be even more difficult to think about it in the future.”
“Oh!” Old Madam Li was a little worried when she heard that. “Then what should we do? Are you going or not?”
Li Fengqi said, “I’ll go. While Li Qing is preparing for the exam in the capital, I’ll bring Laidi along. On account of Laidi, Li Qing will also take care of me. While Li Qing can accumulate some connections in the capital, if I don’t pass next year, I’ll wait another three years. If I still can’t, I’ll get Laidi to ask the Li family for help to obtain an official position. However, Grandmother, can your body withstand a long journey?”
Old Madam Li shook her head. “I won’t burden you with you. I’ll go back to your uncle’s house and wait for your good news.”
“Will Aunt agree to let you go back if she can’t propose marriage? I’m also worried that thev won’t serve vou well. I think vou should stav in the house
Minister Liu gave me yesterday,” Li Fengqi said worriedly to the old lady.
Old Madam Li smiled indifferently and said, “If I live in your house in town, Madam Ye would bring your two cousins to live there! I would go to live with them. How would she dare not serve me? Besides, you’re now a High Scholar. They can’t wait to curry favor with me! You’re about to get married, so you still have to call them over to help. Tell them about you entering the capital to take the exam. When the good days are over, Grandmother will follow them back.”
Li Fengqi looked at his grandmother and thought of himself all these years. If not for the care of his grandmother and uncle, he would not have been where he was today. After his uncle left, his grandmother even followed him back here and took out her savings to build these thatched houses. Only then did they have a place to stay. Li Fengqi nodded with red eyes. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll give you all the money you need to live for the next few years.”
“Sigh! As long as you’re living well, anything is fine for me.” Old Madam Li patted her grandson’s hand in relief.
After discussing it, Li Fengqi went to town and asked someone to bring a letter to Madam Ye to ask her for help..
