It didn't take long for the Zheng family to find their daughter-in-law, and they were about to hold a big banquet to celebrate the celebration.

To say that the second son of the Zheng family is known to everyone in Cangzhou.

Zheng Yanqing, the second son of Zheng, knew a thousand words at the age of three, read ancient poems at the age of seven, and wrote good essays at the age of ten. He was well-known in Cangzhou.

Until the age of twelve, he participated in the childbirth test and won the championship in one fell swoop. He was well-known in Cangzhou and became a model for scholars.

But maybe it was Zaohui's injury. Soon after the exam, Zheng Yanqing fell ill and his health deteriorated. He missed the provincial exam.

The Zheng family's visits to famous doctors didn't have much effect. Later, they turned to metaphysics and invited a well-known Taoist priest to divination.

The hexagram shows that Zheng Yanqing's life is not long, and the only way to break the situation is to be happy.

Not long after that, Zheng Yanqing had frequent nightmares and strange things happened.

Because of these, no one dared to marry in, and the happy event was delayed again and again. Seeing that the calculated auspicious day was approaching, no one could be found for a long time.

In desperation, they had no choice but to turn their attention to the martial arts people, and raised the flag of this martial arts contest.

Everyone thought that this time they would recruit a chivalrous woman with great kung fu, but they did not expect that she would be a half-hearted foreigner.

Everyone is betting on how long this girl can stay in Zheng Mansion.

Li Ruoshui was taking medicine in the inn at this time, and he didn't know that he had become a little popular in Cangzhou.

It was Lu Feiyue's mission to sneak into the Zheng residence, but because of her own problems, Li Ruoshui had to shoulder the burden. This was really embarrassing.

"Ruoshui, the Zheng residence will come to pick up the relatives tomorrow. If you don't want to, we can leave now."

Li Ruoshui, who was dragged by Lu Zhiyao to apply the medicine, shook his hands and pulled a stiff smile from the corner of his mouth.

"It's all right, Sister Lu, I don't care about getting married. Besides, the antidote I want is also in the Zheng residence, so you don't need to do this... oh, I don't think it's necessary to use the medicine."

For some reason, Lu Zhiyao was very interested in giving her medicine. Every day, like the cuckoo in the alarm clock, he started calling "It's time for the medicine, it's time for the medicine".

"This scar has already begun to scar, so there is no need to apply medicine."

Li Ruoshui thought this ointment was strange, but it would be hot when applied again after scarring.

"The doctor said that it will take three full days. You can wait until this afternoon to have another one."

Lu Zhiyao's tone was gentle, but his hand could not refuse her, and he slowly applied the ointment to the wound.

He couldn't see, and he didn't know how to apply the ointment so accurately, and he didn't even miss the location of the wound on his finger.

Li Ruoshui sighed and went with him.

"Are you sure Huo Yicao is in Zheng's house?" Jiang Nian looked at her suspiciously.

"To be honest, I've already gone to Zheng Mansion to look it up. Not only have I found no letters, but the herbs are only common herbs such as Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng."

Li Ruoshui thought about the plot carefully. Mrs. Zheng gave this grass to Lu Feiyue. It was not stated where it was taken from, but it must be in the Zheng residence.

The system did not allow spoilers, but after thinking about it, she still reminded Jiang Nian.

"The Zheng family has a great business. I believe there must be fire grass. As for the letters, they probably haven't been found anywhere. Don't worry, search again."

Lu Feiyue held the gilded sword and lowered her head, her cold and glamorous temperament was no longer, but instead showed some meekness brought about by guilt.

"Originally I brought you to detoxify, but now I want you to help me complete the task, and I want you to comfort us."

Li Ruoshui laughed dumbly, brushed away his hand, and stepped forward to pat Lu Feiyue on the shoulder.

"It's not consolation, it's the truth, and I really don't care about getting married."

Lu Feiyue lowered her head, sniffed, hugged her quickly, then turned around and opened the door.

"I'll go buy you some food."

Jiang Nian patted Li Ruoshui on the shoulder and quickly followed him out. The two of them disappeared at the corner of the stairs not long after.

Li Ruoshui closed the door, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Lu Zhiyao sitting in the same position with his head down, his black hair covering his profile, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.

She didn't pay much attention to it, she sat back in her place, picked up the sliced ​​apple on the plate and put it in her mouth.

"Go on, I'll eat something to distract myself."

Lu Zhiyao responded, raised his head again, picked up the white gauze on the side, and wrapped it around her fingers little by little.

It's April now, and the weather is getting better.

And Li Ruoshui's hand seemed to follow the changes of the four seasons, and it was too warm, which was different from his temperature.

After being swept away by her hand just now, that inexplicable anxiety reappeared in his heart, and he couldn't find an outlet.

"Does this wound still hurt?"

Li Ruoshui chewed the pulp and nodded: "Just a little bit, hurry up, or I'll finish the apples."

"If it hurts, you can still bite me." Lu Zhizhi stopped and said very seriously.

Only that kind of happiness can cover up this anxiety.

Li Ruoshui looked at him carefully, his cheeks were bulging, and there was a crisp sound of fruit being bitten off in the room.

"Then get closer."

Like a sailor who was lured by a siren after losing his direction, Lu Zhiyao slowly leaned over, brought his shoulders closer, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Open your mouth."

Although it was strange, Lu Zhiyao opened his lips slightly.
His thin lips were slightly red, and he kept leaning over to open his mouth, which was inexplicably cute.

A piece of apple was put into his mouth, the flesh was cold and sweet, he chewed it subconsciously, and the sweetness spread all over his lips and teeth immediately.

"Hahahahaha."

Li Ruoshui looked at him eating apples in a daze, and couldn't help laughing so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

"I eat something and grind it when my teeth are itchy. I don't have a hobby of biting."

Qingyue's laughter resounded in his ears, and Lu Zhizhi felt his heart palpitations inexplicably.

Lu Zhiyao swallowed the apple, the smile on the corner of his lips stopped, he reached out and touched his heart.

The feeling at that moment was very strange, as if my heart had been rubbed, and there was an indescribable comfort and satisfaction in the sourness.

Seeing that he suddenly stopped laughing, Li Ruoshui slowly stopped laughing and sat back a bit.
Isn't it because he played too much, he was angry?

She subconsciously looked for where his sword was, and was relieved when she saw it was on the bed.
If his brain is short-circuited again, she still has time to deal with it.

"What's this."

Lu Zhiyao slowly tightened the hand that held his heart, looking a little dazed.

Li Ruoshui glanced at it and replied hesitantly, "That's your chest."

Could it be that this person will become stupid after eating an apple?

Lu Zhizhi frowned, put on his wrist, and focused on distinguishing the pulse.

Li Ruoshui leaned over to look and lowered his voice unconsciously: "What's the matter with you?"

Lu Zhiyao withdrew his hand and replied warmly, "I thought I was poisoned, but it seems not."

"Poisoned?" Li Ruoshui's face was full of disbelief: "Who can poison you?"

Lu Zhizhi only loosened his brows at this time, lowered his eyebrows and chuckled: "It's just you and me here, what do you think?"

? ? ?
Is this what people say?

Li Ruoshui walked up to him, and even though he knew he couldn't see, he still dangled his right hand wrapped in gauze in front of his eyes.

"Do I need to be poisoned? Wouldn't it be better if I just let her poke you blind the day before yesterday?"

Lu Zhizhi put away the medicine bottle and gauze in a hurry, and the smile on his lips did not diminish.

"I'm already blind, what's the point of these two eyeballs. Besides, I can dodge it."

"You finally admitted it!"

The anger on Li Ruoshui's face was replaced by a smile, with a little pride of "I was caught".

"I knew you were deliberately tricking me!"

Lu Zhiyao sighed slightly, as if distressed: "I was actually seen by you."

"I reacted right away."

At this time, Li Ruoshui was so happy that she clenched her fists. This was the first time she had completely guessed Lu Cheng's thoughts.

She was so immersed in this joy that she ignored the fact that she was being tricked.

In this harmonious and cheerful atmosphere, the door of the inn was opened, and two matchmakers with plump buttocks walked in, one red and one green. Behind them were Lu Feiyue and Jiang Nian who hurriedly followed.

"Yo, this is the future Mrs. Zheng's young lady, she looks like a sign."

"It's just not right to be alone in a room with a man."

The two of them sang and commented on Li Ruoshui, then covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and muttered a few words.

Lu Feiyue hugged the roast chicken and walked to Li Ruoshui's side in three or two steps, a little flustered.

"These are the two matchmakers sent by the Zheng family. They said they would dress you up tonight. The sedan chair will arrive tomorrow morning."

After the two matchmakers discussed it, they clapped their hands downstairs, and the three servants immediately carried the box into the room.

The matchmaker asked them to put the box next to the dresser, and pulled Li Ruoshui to the table affectionately.

"This son, can you let me go?"

Lu Zhi, who was sitting at the table, curled the corners of his lips, lifted the gauze and ointment on the plate and got up to give way.

The two matchmakers surrounded Li Ruoshui in the middle, and you gave Li Ruoshui a lesson in every word.

Obviously, Li Ruoshui didn't have a family. They came today not only to dress her up and give her a betrothal gift, but also to give her the rules of marriage from the beginning.

When the two matchmakers were talking hotly, Lu Zhiyao sat beside them slowly.

The matchmaker in red turned to look at him: "What are you doing?"

Lu Zhiyao said with a smile: "I don't know the custom of getting married, so I'm a little curious."

Not only is the road far away, even Jiang Nian and Lu Feiyue both sat over,

They are not only curious, but also want to find time to investigate the Zheng residence in depth after they have figured out the process.

After finally getting such an opportunity to show off, the matchmakers did not refuse, but instead amplified their voices and continued to speak.

"...Our place is different from other places. The bride doesn't have to enter the bridal chamber immediately after worshipping heaven and earth. Instead, she has to sit in the hall with the groom and distribute the wedding candy on the plate."

Li Ruoshui also became interested and listened to this as a local custom.

"Why don't you cover your head with candy?"

"No." The red-clothed matchmaker waved her hand: "We in Cangzhou are enlightened, we don't pay attention to veils, it's good to show your talents and women's appearance generously, it doesn't matter if you hide it or not."

The green-clothed matchmaker then added: "Getting married is a big happy event. Wedding candy dipped in the blessings of the bride and groom. Sending candy is to spread the blessings out."

The two of them continued to talk about the rules with each other, which made Li Ruo's head even bigger.

It was not until the afterglow of the setting sun slanted into the inn that the two of them had finished talking.

They handed a small brocade box to Li Ruoshui with joy on their faces.

"This is the betrothal gift from the Zheng family. There are some shops and houses that were bought without their names. They are all yours."

Li Ruoshui's hands trembled a little. She opened the brocade box, looked at the stack of land deeds inside, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

It's also very affordable.

The two matchmakers opened the other two small wooden boxes and placed the contents on the dresser one by one, looking festive.

"If you want to send candy, your face is very important. We will paint you a beautiful makeup tonight."

Li Ruoshui was pulled in front of the dressing table, and was pulled by a thin thread to open his face, and began a long journey of dressing.
