Zhang Pei'er had met Fu Xiaoguan before and had heard many stories about him.

At that time, my brother Zhang Wenhan had not yet left Linjiang. Whenever he mentioned Fu Xiaoguan, he would always sneer and say, "Sister, you should stay away from him. He is a playboy, like a mad dog, and he has harmed countless weak women."

Then, Dong Shulan, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, came to Linjiang. Her brother admired her greatly and said to her, "Shulan's beauty is like an orchid in full bloom beneath the stars. I will definitely win the top spot in the imperial examination when I go to the capital. If I can win Shulan's favor, I will have no regrets in my life."

When talking about Dong Shulan, we naturally also talked about the young master of the Fu family. He dared to act wildly in front of Dong Shulan and was thrown into the street by Dong Shulan's guards. Later, he was beaten almost to death. In the words of his brother, he was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, but he didn't know his own weight.

Every time she listened very carefully, but there was always a smile on her face.

But when my brother was about to leave for Beijing, I saw that his brows were furrowed. When I asked him, I found out that he had changed his personality and wrote two remarkable poems.

She later learned about these two poems. Of course, they were very good, but her brother said that he must have plagiarized them. This was reasonable, and Zhang Pei'er felt that it should be so.

But then her brother went to Shangjing, and when she heard the news about Fu Xiaoguan from the mansion, she felt something was strange.

It was said that the wine was very delicious. She didn't drink alcohol, but her father seemed to have been drinking it ever since then.

Then a student from Linjiang invited him, but he refused. People had different opinions about him, but Zhang Pei'er noticed one thing: the man never caused trouble again, and even never went to a brothel again. He also became low-key and steady. Old Qin actually cleared his name and treated him as an equal.

At this point, Zhang Peier's curiosity was aroused, and then it was out of control.

Until the Linzhou Poetry Meeting on the first day of June, although she did not go, her poem "Mind-to-Mind" spread throughout Linjiang City the next day.

This is what he did again!

The people in Linjiang City have completely changed their opinion of him. Fu Xiaoguan should be the leader of the four new talents in Linjiang!

Zhang Pei'er read the two poems and the one by Fu Xiaoguan over and over again, and re-painted the image of Fu Xiaoguan as a handsome young man with a great knowledge of poetry and books.

Otherwise, who could write such wonderful poems?

He is not a plagiarist, he is a person with real talent and knowledge!

A rich and talented unmarried young man stood in front of many unmarried ladies in Linjiang. Zhang Pei'er was no exception. She even made a very accurate decision, which was to catch Fu Xiaoguan before others discovered or valued his talent!

Given her family background, appearance, talent and other aspects, she did not think that her proactive attack would fail.

This is vision. Zhang Pei'er's vision is quite good, but she overlooked one point: this Fu Xiaoguan is not that Fu Xiaoguan.

Fu Xiaoguan refused, and she was very sad - whether it was sadness, unwillingness to admit defeat, or a strong possessiveness, it was impossible to answer at the moment, even Zhang Pei'er herself didn't know.

She had to redeem him. Since going through a matchmaker wouldn't work and since he had never met her, she had to do it herself.

So here she is, in the carriage.

I was a little nervous inside, but my face was calm.

…

"Mr. Fu, please stay." Qingmei went to greet him.

"Who are you……?"

"My young lady wants to see you. Please follow me."

"Who is your young lady?"

"You'll know when you go up there."

Fu Xiaoguan frowned and thought for a moment, then walked towards the carriage parked nearby.

When I opened the car door and lifted the curtain, I saw that delicate face with a little makeup on.

He got in the car and sat opposite Zhang Pei'er.

In fact, this is very bad. If others see it, it will ruin the woman's reputation. However, Fu Xiaoguan did not know these etiquettes, and it was the other party who invited him.

"I am Zhang Pei'er."

Fu Xiaoguan was shocked. What was this?

He touched his nose and smiled embarrassedly.

"In one month I will be a virgin."

Fu Xiaoguan nodded, not knowing what to say.

"I'm not young anymore, in any way."

"no……"

"Your talent is something I admire, but you are unmarried and I am unmarried. You rejected me because you must have many concerns. I would like to invite you to meet me today. Are you satisfied?"

What the hell!

Are women in this world so fierce?

Fu Xiaoguan suddenly felt that he could not withstand it.

Zhang Pei's son's appearance is naturally inferior to Dong Shulan's, but he is also a very handsome man.

What's more, she said that she was not small in any aspect, which was true, because Zhang Pei'er was still standing proudly at this moment.

Could it be that everyone in this world matures early? Or is it that there's something wrong with my own thinking?

Fu Xiaoguan took a deep breath and raised his hands as if surrendering.

He pondered his words for a moment before saying, "That's right. I think so. We're both a little young, and being young means we're inexperienced. We haven't met enough people or experienced enough. This can lead to a problem: we're easily blinded by the beauty of the present and make hasty decisions."

Fu Xiaoguan spoke very slowly, hoping that Zhang Pei'er could accurately grasp his meaning.

"Marriage is one of the biggest things in life. We don't even know each other, let alone know each other well. That means we don't have enough understanding of each other's interests and hobbies. In my opinion, marriage must be based on love, and love requires commonality to support it."

"I don't think marriage is just coming home to a cooked meal, a freshly brewed cup of tea, a bucket of water at the perfect temperature for a bath, or anything like that. This is a bit confusing, but I hope you understand. My understanding of marriage is about having shared interests and mutual happiness, like traveling together, cooking together, and wandering together. The key is these four words: like-minded."

"Life is a long journey. You will meet many more outstanding people along the way. Girl, you..."

Zhang Pei'er bit her lips tightly, tears streaming down her face.

She didn't understand these profound principles, as her mother had never taught her this way, but she understood what Fu Xiaoguan meant.

"You look down on me!"

"this……"

"You just don't like me! That's how my mother married my father. There's no such complicated reason. They're doing well now. Many people are like this. Why are you any different?"

"I'm doing this for your own good!"

"I don't want you to do this for my own good. If you really want to do this for my own good, marry me!"

“…”

"Go away! I don't want to see you again, Fu Xiaoguan, I hate you!"

Zhang Pei'er burst into tears and Fu Xiaoguan sighed.
