Chapter 189 Marriage

"Yeah, I know."

Xu Jiaqing talked to the two of them for a while and then came to the kitchen.

"Xia Mei, these two children are really troublesome to you."

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? We are all family, and they are both sensible."

"My in-laws, and you, both said that you didn't treat them as outsiders."

He shook her head and said, "That's ridiculous. You have brought up Meng Niang so well. It is a blessing for our family."

Xu Qingmeng shook his head helplessly and went to the side room.

He suddenly remembered something, and said to the eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family: "I just don't know, what do you think about Xinting's marriage?"

"Why, dear, do you have any ideas?"

"Yeah, there are some clues."

After hearing this, Xu Qingmeng also looked over at the two of them. "Mom, when did this happen? Whose young man is this? How come I don't know?"

Xu Qingmeng really didn't notice anything. Could it be that during the month they were away, someone had seen Xinting?

He smiled and said, "You also know this person, it's Mr. Zhou."

"What?" Xu Qingmeng widened his eyes.

"It's a relief that you've been with Master Zhou for so long that you didn't notice anything. Just think about how Master Zhou reacts every time he sees Xinting. And when we hosted the Zhou family for dinner the other day, your Aunt Zhou and I saw that your Aunt Zhou also had a crush on Xinting. Don't you remember that Master Zhou was the one who came every time our two families visited?"

Xu Qingmeng was puzzled: "Isn't this because Gu Yunyi has a good relationship with Yunyi? And every time he comes, isn't he here to ask questions?"

"Stupid, why don't you find a reason? This relationship hasn't even started yet. If people find out, it won't be good for the girl's reputation. Your Aunt Zhou wants to create an opportunity for the two of them to see if our Xin Ting has any thoughts about her. If it doesn't work out, it won't affect their relationship in the future."

Xu Qingmeng patted his head and said, "No wonder Mr. Zhou said that the other day?"

He and Xu were cleaning the house. When they saw Xu Qingmeng patting his head, they both looked over.

Xu Qingmeng smiled foolishly, "Nothing, nothing."

Afterwards, the eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family asked about the affairs of the Zhou family, and He naturally asked about every detail.

The more they talked, the more satisfied they became. Of course, if it could work out, Xu Qingmeng thought it would be great. After all, Mr. Zhou had a good temper. But she didn't know what Xinting thought.

After dinner, we started to arrange accommodation.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family and Xinting brought Yunsheng to live in He's house. The old man of the Xu family and the second brother of the Xu family also lived there. The eldest brother of the Xu family and Xun'er, as well as Yunmo, also lived there. It was just right, except that He's house was a bit crowded, but it could still accommodate them, after all, there was a kang in He's house.

After finishing the arrangements here, He still felt that what Xu Qingmeng said before was right. It would be better to buy a bigger yard. Although it could accommodate more guests, it would still be a bit crowded. Once there were two more people, they would have to sleep on the floor.

The Zhou family here were chatting after dinner.

Not only was Zhou Yuanjia's family unsure about his fate this time, but even Zhou Yuanjia himself was not sure.

Although Zhou Yuanjia was slightly injured in the end, the final result of the college entrance examination was still unexpected.

After talking about this, Zhou Yuanjia also knew that it was because he lived with Gu Yunyi and others and received a lot of guidance from them that he was able to pass the exam and score so high.

Speaking of this, the Zhou family is also very grateful.

Then she talked about the attack. Zhou's mother cried very sadly, but it was not the Gu family's fault. If they wanted to blame someone, they should blame County Lieutenant Liu. Fortunately, the county lieutenant was arrested, so they don't have to worry about him anymore in the future...

Zhou Yuanjia was a scholar and had a very good relationship with Gu Yunyi. They had experienced the same thing together, so how could he not know that the attack on them was related to County Lieutenant Liu.

Thinking of something, Zhou Yuanjia smacked his lips again: "Madam Gu and Brother Gu are so affectionate, I think Brother Gu must have been able to eat delicious meals every day during this period of time."

Accountant Zhou glared at Zhou Yuanjia who was lying on the bed and said, "All you think about is eating."

Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "You are now famous and successful, so should you put marriage on the agenda?"

Zhou Yuanjia's face turned red all of a sudden. "Mom, I'm still lying down now. What's the use of me being willing? Does the girl want to do it?"

"That girl, who is that girl?" Aunt Zhou asked deliberately.

"mother."

Zhou Yuanjia lived with Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng for a month, and was envious of them every day. He had planned to tell Xu Xinting about it as soon as he came back, but who knew that such a thing would happen.

Accountant Zhou looked at the two men with a puzzled look on his face, not knowing who they were talking about.

Aunt Zhou looked at the confused face of Accountant Zhou and said, "You know her too. She has a beautiful figure and a good personality. She is quick and careful in doing things. She has learned the skills from Madam Gu, so her cooking skills are impeccable."

As Zhou Yuanjia listened to Aunt Zhou's words, Xinting's figure appeared in his mind and his face turned even redder.

Zhou Yuanjia fell in love with Xinting the first time he saw her, but he didn't know whether the girl liked him.

Accountant Zhou thought this girl was pretty good, but he knew a little about his apprentice's family background, so he asked, "Madam Gu's family is from the countryside? What are her family like? Have you learned about them?"

Accountant Zhou was not worried about the other party being poor, but he was mainly afraid that there would be troublemakers who would cause unrest in the family.

Aunt Zhou frowned, then shook her head: "I'm not sure about that, but Madam Gu and I saw it from our son's face. Although he didn't say it in private, Madam Gu and I both knew it. Otherwise, do you think Xinting would be there every time you go to Gu's house?"

Aunt Zhou is quite satisfied with Xu Xinting.

Ever since she knew what her son was thinking, she had been paying attention to her quietly. The little girl spoke in a soft and gentle voice, without being picky or gossipy. She also worked efficiently and when she stood there, she looked like Mrs. Gu.

Aunt Zhou glanced at her son and waved her hand, saying, "None of this matters. Yuanjia has taken a liking to the girl, but the key is whether the girl will like our Yuanjia or not."

Accountant Zhou looked at his son lying on the bed and said disdainfully, "Yeah, he's such a good person, lazy and gluttonous all day long. If it weren't for the kid from the Gu family, he would have failed the college entrance examination..."

Aunt Zhou also had a look of disgust on her face.

Zhou Yuanjia: “…”

The next morning, after breakfast, Mr. Xu prepared to leave.

As in the past, Xu Qingmeng prepared a lot of food, clothing, and daily necessities for the Xu family. She even asked the eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family to talk to the old man and the second brother of the Xu family in private. However, she also knew that the second sister-in-law of the Xu family was not very reasonable, so she asked them to be more restrained.
