Chapter 1024 Getting Prepared for the Engagement

Madam Ruan smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Tian is very good at embroidery. She can enter any embroidery workshop in the prefectural city if she wants. It's just that Miss Tian's mother is sick and has seen many doctors but they can't cure her."

Shu Yu suddenly realized, "Zhao Xi treated her mother's illness?"

"Yes, Miss Tian was grateful, and since her mother's illness hadn't fully healed, and knowing we ran a clothing shop, she asked if we wanted to hire her. She came back to Jiangyuan County with us and became an embroiderer in our shop, with the only request being that her mother come with her. Her mother was in the mule cart behind us just now."

The old lady was delighted. "We really owe Zhao Xi a lot for going out with you. He's a capable boy."

Ruan looked slightly proud. Yes, he usually seemed a bit unreliable, always laughing and joking around, but who knew he was so capable when he got serious.

Most importantly, he would protect Shuyou and couldn't bear to see her suffer any injustice.

How could Madam Ruan not be proud that such a person would become her son-in-law in the future?

However, when Zhao Xi was mentioned, the old lady became serious. "Second son, second son's wife, you know what it means that Zhao Xi and Ayou went out together this time. Since they are both interested in each other, let's get them engaged as soon as possible, so that people won't gossip about them later."

This can also prevent many people from acting as matchmakers.

In particular, the people they arranged marriages for were not only the Shu sisters, but also Zhao Xi and Meng Yunzheng.

Before, Zhao Xi was mentally challenged and Meng Yunzheng was mute. The neighbors only felt sorry for them and never thought of helping to introduce them to girls.

Things are different now; they're both back together.

Especially considering these two are both handsome and capable. Leaving aside Meng Yunzheng for now, Zhao Xi is a doctor. A doctor with such high medical skills at such a young age—what would that girl have to worry about if she married him?

Unfortunately, neither of them had any elders around them, and the Lu family was the closest to them.

So all the neighbors came to the old lady, asking her about the Meng and Zhao families and asking her to inquire about their situation.

The old lady was about to vomit blood. Everyone was staring at her son-in-law, and she still had to ask questions!

Now she wants to hide in Yiren Pavilion every day and not come back, otherwise the courtyard gate will never have a chance to close.

Now that Ayou's idea has been confirmed, let's get engaged first.

Lu Erbai nodded, "I'll talk to Zhao Xi about this another day. Although he has lost both his parents, his master is still alive. We should at least ask Doctor Zhao for his opinion."

Zhao Xi and Shu You had just returned when they overheard this.

"What do you want to know about my master?" he asked excitedly. "Is it about A-Ning becoming his disciple?"

"No, it's about you and my sister," Shu Yu said with a smile.

Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he ran forward with great joy. "Grandma, Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, is it about me and Ayou getting married? My master has no problem with it. I wrote back a long time ago, and my master replied. Please wait a moment, I'll go home and get the letter for you to see."

After saying that, he ran away.

The other members of the Lu family looked at each other, and finally all looked at Shu You.

The latter froze for a moment, then his face turned bright red. He couldn't utter a word and turned to go back into the house.

Zhao Xi returned quickly, carrying a thick letter in his hand.

He handed the letter directly to Lu Erbai, who hesitated, "This, a letter from your master to you, I don't think it's appropriate?"
