Chapter 39
The young woman was dressed in light summer clothes, with a light pink blouse draped over her upper body. Her black hair was not tied up in the usual way, but instead loosely braided into a side braid, hanging lightly down to her chest.
When Hanxiang saw the two of them, she was startled and whispered, "Isn't this the one who bumped into Lady Zhuang's carriage the other day..."
Zhu Zijin.
The young master of the Zhu family.
As expected of someone who had undergone rigorous selection and inhuman training, Cui Pei bowed low almost immediately and, before Wen Shu could ask any questions, readily replied, "Fourth Madam, this is Mr. Zhu, a jewelry merchant my husband met in Jinzhou..."
Cui Pei was unaware that Wen Shu and Zhu Zijin had met earlier. Just as he was about to explain, Wen Shu's words struck him like a thunderbolt.
"I've seen him."
It's not a question, it's a statement of certainty.
Cui Pei's heart skipped a beat, his gaze fixed on Wen Shu's seemingly genuine face, and he swallowed hard: "Is...is that so?"
When Zhu Zijin opened his folding fan, the large ruby inlaid on the shimmering satin handle complemented the dazzling pearl belt around his waist.
It certainly fits the image of a lavish jewelry merchant.
In that moment of silence, Cui Peilian had already decided where he would be buried, and turned to look at Zhu Zijin in disbelief.
The latter scratched the back of her head sheepishly and gave a shy smile: "What a coincidence, we meet again, Miss Wen."
Zhu Zijin briefly explained what had happened at the city gate a few days ago to Cui Pei, which finally put Cui Pei's mind at ease.
Wen Shu, wanting to find out more, asked with a smile, "So, Young Master Zhu and Cousin Song have known each other for a long time. But Jinzhou is so far from Anyang, what brings you here, Young Master?"
Zhu Zijin laughed and said, "What else can we do? These people who travel all over the country are just trying to make a living, aren't they?"
After asking a round of questions, I didn't get any information out of them.
Wen Shu nodded slightly, gesturing for Cui Pei and Zhu Zijin to pass. The young man, waving his folding fan, turned to her and said, "Fourth Miss Wen, see you another day..."
Wen Shu remained in the same posture as when she was speaking, but the expression on her face had calmed down, unlike her lively expression just now.
Hanxiang stared blankly at Wenshu and whispered, "Miss, Madam Qi should have arrived by now. Let's hurry up and go."
The marriage agreement between the two families has been finalized, and soon Wen Shu will become Madam Qi's daughter-in-law.
Once the relationship was established, Madam Qi made no attempt to conceal it. Not only did she frequently send Qi Chengxuan to deliver delicious food and fun things, but Madam Qi herself also often visited the Wen residence.
Today, Madam Qi invited Wen Shu to Guangfu Temple outside the city to pray for the newlyweds to have a long and happy marriage.
Wen Shu withdrew her gaze, lingered, and left in the opposite direction from them.
On the other side.
Zhu Zijin was still immersed in the scene of meeting Wen Shu just now, and clicked his tongue and said, "When we met the other day, I was only thinking about being wary of my uncle, and I forgot to pay attention to Wen Si Niangzi. But after seeing her today, I found that Wen Si Niangzi is beautiful but not ostentatious, and she is thoughtful and reliable. Brother Cui, let me tell you, my uncle will definitely like her!"
Cui Pei sighed helplessly and rubbed his forehead, saying, "Don't think about it, my little darling. That girl just got engaged yesterday!"
