She was originally a noble lady from a wealthy family, but who knew that one day her father, the Grand Tutor, would be demoted and exiled to Lingnan. The starting point is a broken-down house with ...
Chapter 252 His Confession
The east living room of the Zhao family's main house is very clean and tidy. The children like to play here on weekdays. Zhao Liya also likes to discuss things with Hu Ling, Lin Mo and others here.
I am discussing something with Zhou Hansheng here today. Zhaonan is guarding the door, so no one will disturb us.
When she suddenly saw him yesterday, she felt an overwhelming surge of joy, as if she had so much to say to him but couldn't find the time to do so. Now, when they were alone, Zhao Liya's heart began to beat faster. She couldn't explain why, perhaps it was just intuition.
She always felt that the "something" he said was not just something.
Of course, what Zhou Hansheng told her was serious business. Part of the money for the huanghuali wood had been returned. Zhao Liya's share was 30,000 taels of silver. He had the silver note with him and just brought it to her.
"This is 30,000 taels of silver. Keep it. There should be around 110,000 or 120,000 more to come."
Zhao Liya's eyes lit up as she took it with great joy: "This Huanghuali wood is indeed valuable!"
"Hmm!" Zhou Hansheng smiled, but he still felt a little regretful. If he had found a skilled craftsman who spent a lot of time and effort to meticulously carve the furniture, the resulting furniture would definitely sell for a higher price.
Unfortunately, he needed the money urgently and couldn't wait that long.
Come to think of it, she also suffered a loss because of it. I'll make it up to her slowly in the future.
Zhao Liya subconsciously took stock of her property in her mind. Well, including the 30,000 taels, it was about 70,000 taels.
What a steal this Huanghuali is!
Unexpected wealth.
Something in her heart moved, and she suddenly smiled at Zhou Hansheng and said, "By the way, Brother Zhou, our family has enough money now. I have tens of thousands of taels. I won't need this money for a while anyway. If you need it urgently, take it first. You can return it to me later when you need it."
Zhou Hansheng looked up in surprise and was stunned.
"Are you—seriously?"
"Pfft! Of course it's true!"
Zhou Hansheng couldn't help but laugh. That was hundreds of thousands of taels! How many people couldn't earn that much money in their entire lives? And she just lent it to him so easily?
He didn't know how he acted so short of money that she noticed and said this, but he was very happy in his heart.
This shows that she cares about him!
So this is actually equivalent to being in perfect sync with each other?
"Aren't you afraid that I won't pay you back?"
Zhao Liya shook her head.
Zhou Hansheng saw her clear and lively black eyes under her long eyelashes and her soft and rosy lips, which made people's eyes fall on them unconsciously. A bright and gentle smile spread at the corners of her lips, making her look even more charming and lovely.
His heart felt warm as he chuckled softly, "You trust me so much!"
Zhao Liya looked up at him in a daze, her eyes a little confused, as if saying: Is there any need to say this?
Zhou Hansheng couldn't help himself any longer: "How about I pay you back some interest first?"
"ah?"
"Me, or?"
“.”
Zhao Liya's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously wanted to escape.
Zhou Hansheng reached out and grabbed her without thinking, "Aya!"
Zhao Liya got excited and stammered, "Pay back your debts without interest!"
Zhou Hansheng laughed, "Okay, no interest, how about giving it away for free?"
“.”
She struggled subconsciously, but didn't move at all. Zhao Liya suddenly became anxious: "Let go!"
"No one will come in, don't worry."
Zhao Liya felt a little relieved, then came to her senses: She was not afraid of anyone coming in!
"you--"
"I'm serious!"
Zhao Liya's heart was still beating incredibly fast, but she had gradually recovered from the shock.
My heart is so sweet that I want to jump for joy.
There is nothing better than stepping from the bitter cold of winter into the melting of ice and snow and the blooming of spring flowers.
Unexpected, but not too unexpected.
A woman's intuition is not completely inaccurate. She admires him and can't help but like him a little bit, and naturally she also realizes that he must have a good impression of her.
pity
Zhao Liya sighed, "How can you be so serious?"
Zhou Hansheng: "Marry you and protect you."
Zhao Liya felt sweet in her heart, but her eyes were slightly hot. "But I have a bad temper. If the elders asked me to stay in the back house to take care of my husband and children, regard my husband as the most important thing, and set rules every day, I would make a fuss."
Zhou Hansheng smiled, "Aya, I can't tell you my identity yet, but I swear, I will never lie to you. My family isn't very good either, I'm just waiting for you to make trouble!"
Zhao Liya: “.”
"Well, you don't find it strange, do you?"
Zhao Liya shook her head reflexively.
Not surprising, really.
Far from being surprising, she immediately imagined a series of fascinating internal struggles within wealthy families. He must have come from a distinguished family, perhaps a well-known and wealthy one. His family situation was probably quite complicated, and how could there be no conflicts?
I was just imagining the internal struggles of the wealthy families when I heard him ask with a smile, "Are you afraid?"
Zhao Liya immediately shook her head again.
She wasn't afraid, and she wouldn't use this as a reason to consider whether or not to agree to his request.
Zhou Hansheng smiled even more happily and said softly, "Well, don't be afraid!"
Zhao Liya suddenly opened her eyes wide and glared at him.
This man was very shameless. The hand that was originally holding her arm slid down gently to hold her palm. "Aya, I took it as your consent."
"I--"
"One day I will confess everything to you. If you are satisfied, that's fine. If not, it's up to you."
Zhao Liya was still a little embarrassed and confused, but she became more nervous, and her speech became a little halting: "I, I haven't finished speaking yet. I have a really bad temper. I can't tolerate anyone who makes me angry. How can a big family like yours-"
"I won't tolerate anyone who dares to anger you!"
"What if it's you?"
"It's at your disposal."
"snort!"
Zhao Liya didn't quite believe it, but her heart couldn't help but leap with joy. But she had one last thought.
"I listen to my parents."
Zhou Hansheng was stunned, and she burst into laughter and ran out.
Zhou Hansheng's hands were empty, and he felt so regretful: I haven't had a good talk with her yet, why did she run away?
Madam Zhao was fine, Zhou Hansheng felt that he could probably handle it, but he felt a headache when he thought of Lord Zhao.
Even if I have a headache, I have to push it up, otherwise I will lose my wife.
He had already confessed to her, so he had to do it right away.
Being indecisive is not a manly behavior.
Lord Zhao is still in the school right now. Let’s wait for him to come back at noon - forget it, let’s go to the school now!
Zhou Hansheng decisively went out and headed straight for the school.
When Zhao Liya saw him go out, she hurriedly ran to the door to take a look. Seeing that he was heading out of the village - which was also the direction of the school, her heart skipped a beat again.
Ah, this isn't what she thought.
He's way too courageous.
