Chapter 1027 Marriage at the End of the Year

This is the time when everyone goes out to work, but as soon as the door opened, they heard a noisy commotion outside.

Those living next door to the Lu family, in particular, were astonished when they opened their doors and saw the famous matchmaker, Liu.

Seeing this, someone asked curiously, "Dr. Zhao, are you here to propose marriage?"

Whom should I mention this to? Could it be Lu Xiangjun?

Zhao Xi smiled broadly, looking very excited. "Yes, I'm proposing marriage."

The matchmaker, Liu, covered her mouth with her handkerchief and laughed, "Our young master Zhao takes this marriage very seriously. To gain the approval of the Lu family, he even went out of his way to hunt a wild goose. Look at this goose, its plumage is beautiful and it's big. It took young master Zhao a lot of effort."

Wild geese are difficult to hunt, so people usually use geese or ducks instead. If someone actually brings a wild goose, it really shows that the man has gone to great lengths and values ​​the woman.

The gate opened after a few words were exchanged at the entrance.

The old lady smiled and let them in. The people at the door glanced inside and saw Shu Yu standing in the courtyard, but they didn't see Shu You.

One by one, they immediately understood that this was a marriage proposal to the eldest daughter of the Lu family. After all, the girl being proposed to was not allowed to show her face and could only stay in her room.

So it wasn't Lu Xiangjun after all.

It's no wonder they thought that way. Although the neighbors in Liufang Lane all knew that the eldest daughter of the Lu family was a good person, warm and gentle, she was, after all, a divorced girl.

She had many suitors before, but to be honest, their conditions were really just so-so.

They were either poor, old, or even widowers.

Although Zhao Xi was once considered a fool, isn't he now cured? He possesses excellent medical skills and is a handsome young man. Apart from being an orphan, he is indeed the universally acknowledged ideal son-in-law in this neighborhood.

Unexpectedly, this man has now taken a liking to the eldest daughter of the Lu family.

The neighbors looked at each other with complicated expressions. After the Lu family's courtyard gate closed, they immediately huddled together and began to whisper among themselves.

Do you think this marriage will go through?

"It's definitely going to work out. Doctor Zhao is usually close to the Lu family. If they hadn't discussed it beforehand, why would he openly come to propose marriage?"

Some people said sourly, "What a pity. Doctor Zhao is good-looking and capable. The eldest daughter of the Lu family has already been married once, yet she still managed to find such a good match."

"That's right, I guess it's because of Mr. Lu Xiang."

Some who were on good terms with the Lu family couldn't help but retort, "Are you just being sour grapes? Even if Da Ya has been married before, she's still a perfectly innocent young woman. Isn't she quite capable? And well-behaved too. What's wrong with Doctor Zhao taking a liking to her?"

"Yes, I think they're a good match."

“If you dare to say that to Lu Xiangjun’s face, see if she will chop you up with an axe.”

The faces of those envious people instantly turned bright red, but they dared not say anything bad about Da Ya anymore. They snorted and ran away.

The others remained standing there, still wanting to see the outcome.

This wait can last for most of the day. Nowadays, when the man goes to the woman's house to propose marriage, if both sides are satisfied, they will be invited to stay for lunch.

Smoke was already rising from the Lu family's kitchen, and a delicious aroma was wafting out, so everyone knew that the matter had been settled.

Some were happy, while others sighed.

But the most excited person was Zhao Xi himself. He sat happily at the dining table, eating the food cooked by his future mother-in-law, and he was practically steaming with joy.
