    After the Zheng family found their daughter-in-law, the news that they were about to hold a big banquet to celebrate the celebration soon spread all over Cangzhou, and it became the talk of the common people after dinner.

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

    The second son of Zheng, Zheng Yanqing, 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 first prize in one fell swoop. He was well-known in Cangzhou and became a model for scholars.

    But maybe it was the early wisdom that hurt people. Soon after the exam, Zheng Yanqing became seriously ill. His health deteriorated and he missed the later provincial exam.

    The Zheng family's visits to famous doctors didn't have much effect. Later, he turned his idea to metaphysics and invited a famous Taoist priest to divination.

    The hexagram shows that Zheng Yanqing's life is not long, and if he wants to break the situation, only Chongxi can solve it.

    It was also not long after that, Zheng Yanqing had frequent nightmares, and strange things always 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 coming, but no one could be found for a long time.

    In desperation, they had 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 didn't expect to 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 Zheng's mansion, but because of her own problems, Li Ruoshui had to shoulder the burden, which was really embarrassing.

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

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

    "It's okay, Sister Lu, I don't care about getting married. Besides, the antidote I want is also in Zheng's residence, so you don't have 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, and there is no need to apply medicine."

    Li Ruoshui felt that this ointment was strange, but it was 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 it, and he didn't know how to apply the ointment so accurately, even the location of the wound on his finger was not spared.

    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 specified where to get it, but it must be in Zheng's house.

    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.

    "I originally 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, and then turned to open the door.

    "I'm going to buy you something to eat."

    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 to her original position, picked up the sliced ​​apple on the plate and put it in her mouth.

    "Go ahead, I'll eat something to distract me."

    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 not too warm, which was different from his temperature.

    After being swept away by her hand just now, the 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: "A little bit, you hurry up, or I will finish the apple."

    "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 Kraken 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 subconsciously chewed it, 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 just eat something and grind my teeth. 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, and he reached out and touched his heart.

    The feeling at that moment was very strange, as if my heart was 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 little.

    Wouldn't it be playing 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 is this."

    Lu Zhiyao's hand that was holding his heart slowly tightened, his expression 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 doesn't seem to be."

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

    Lu Zhiyao 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't dodge it."

    "You finally admit 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 young lady of the Zheng family, looks like a sign."

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

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

    Lu Feiyue held 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 his lips, lifted the gauze and ointment on the plate and stood 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 did not 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, I'm a little curious."

    Not only the road is 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 was also interested and listened to this as a custom.

    "Why do you want to make candy, don't you cover your head?"

    "No." The red-clothed matchmaker waved her hand: "We in Cangzhou are enlightened, we don't pay attention to veils, and it's good to show the talent of a man and a woman in a generous way. It doesn't matter if you hide it or not."

    The green-clothed matchmaker then added: "Marriage is a big happy event. Wedding candy is stained with the blessings of the bride and groom. Sending candy is to spread the blessings out."

    The two continued to talk about the rules with your words and my words, and Li Ruo's head was big when they said it.

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

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

    "This is the betrothal gift of the Zheng family. There are some shops and houses that were bought without names, and 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 too 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 wedding 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 road to dressing.
