Yu Tang knew that this was not her responsibility, but she would feel sad whenever she thought about it.

Ah Tiao, who accompanied her, was very angry and said, "Miss, I'll go and catch him. What is this kid talking about? Something happened in his family, and he still blames our family."

Yu Tang stopped him and said, "He is still young and lost his brother suddenly. It is normal for him to feel upset and say something inappropriate. Don't make a fuss about this. The elders of both families will be sad if they know about it."

In her previous life, after her parents passed away, she had been angry with many people, even the Pei family. She felt that if it weren't for the Pei family's poor patrol, how could Changxing Street have caught fire? But the night patrol was not the Pei family's responsibility. The Pei family just patrolled the shops of the merchants who also did business in Changxing Street because most of them owned shops. As a result, something happened to her family, but she still blamed the Pei family in her heart.

Ah Tiao was reluctant to go look for Wei Xiaochuan again, and was muttering to herself. At this time, a man's surprised voice rang in Yu Tang's ears: "Ms. Yu?"

Yu Tang looked in the direction of the voice and found it was Li Jun.

He was wearing a royal blue gown with a cloud pattern and a round flower pattern. His dark hair was tied up high with a white jade hairpin inserted in it. His forehead was white and his eyes were bright. He looked much more mature than the last time they met.

"It's really you!" Li Jun's face was full of surprise, and he said anxiously, "I saw from a distance that you looked just like you, and I didn't dare to believe my eyes for a moment. What are you doing in the county school? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Yu Tang smiled at him politely and said, "Nothing. I came to see a relative's child."

There were still traces of crying in the corners of her eyes.

Li Jun hesitated to speak.

Yu Tang said goodbye to him.

Li Jun hurriedly stopped her and said sincerely, "Miss Yu, if you have anything to say, you can really tell me. I usually study with my brother at the prefectural school. But the teacher here in the county school is Mr. Shen Shanyan, Shen Fang's cousin. He was the third place winner of the imperial examination in the year of Ji Mao. He was once a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy and was proficient in classics and history. Later, he was tired of the disputes in the officialdom, so he accepted the invitation of the Pei family and came to Lin'an City to be an ordinary teacher. He is a very learned man and my brother's mentor. If I can't do it, you can ask my brother to help you find Mr. Shen."

Yu Tang was very surprised.

Having lived two lives, she had no idea that the county school in Lin'an City was full of hidden talents and that there were such talented people.

Li Jun was excited and said, "Miss Yu, I came here with my brother. Did you know that Zhou Zijin also came to Lin'an? However, you probably haven't heard of him. Mr. Zhou was the top scholar in the Renwu year and a direct descendant of the Nantong Zhou family. His grandfather was the emperor's teacher, his father was the chief assistant, his eldest brother is the current Minister of Personnel, he also has an uncle in the Dali Temple, and he himself was a secretary in the Ministry of Justice. The whole family is very powerful. He came to Lin'an City to visit Master Pei San. You must know Master Pei San, that is Pei Xiaguang, Pei Yan. Lord Zhou knew that Mr. Shen was a teacher in the county school, so he came with Master Pei San to visit Mr. Shen. No one knew. My father was the same age as Master Pei's second master, and my brother often went to the Pei family to ask Master Pei for guidance on his studies. Only then did he know that they came to the county school, and my brother brought me here to show his face in front of them..."

He was like a peacock spreading its tail, trying to attract Yu Tang's attention.

When Yu Tang heard that Li Duan was also here, he felt uncomfortable as if a caterpillar was crawling all over his body.

She interrupted Li Jun and said, "Second Young Master Li, you are overthinking. I really have nothing to do. The elders in the family are still waiting for me to go back. I'll take my leave first." After that, she winked at Ah Tiao, turned around and prepared to leave.

Li Jun was stunned. When he saw Yu Tang walked about ten steps away, he came to his senses and hurriedly called out to Yu Tang.

Yu Tang turned around in confusion.

Li Jun stood there with a red face, hesitating and not knowing what to say.

What else does Yu Tang not understand?

In her previous life, Li Jun had never seen her, but Lin said that he fell in love with her at first sight. She had endured Lin for many years by chanting this sutra. In this life, fate played a trick on her. Li Jun met her, and Lin's lie in her previous life actually came true - Li Jun fell in love with her at first sight.

Unfortunately, she was extremely disgusted with the Li family. No matter how good Li Jun was or how sincere he was to her, she was not prepared to have any relationship with the Li family.

Yu Tang said coldly: "Next time, Master Li, please think clearly about what you want to say to me before calling me back!"

If she wanted Li Jun to give up on her, she couldn't be nice to him.

Li Jun was indeed embarrassed.

Yu Tang took A Tiao out.

Li Jun gritted his teeth and chased after him.

"Miss Yu!" He stopped in front of her and stammered, "Miss Yu, that, that Mrs. Tang, my mother said that she has been to your house several times, and your family... wants to recruit a live-in son-in-law. Don't worry, just wait a few days, my father should have a letter back in the next few days... I, I am willing..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Yu Tang's face turn pale and stiff at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What happened?

Li Jun muttered in his heart, and his voice became louder. He said with determination: "Miss Yu, don't worry, my family has two sons. I know your family wants a son-in-law, and I will make my father agree no matter what. Just wait for me!"

"Li Jun, what nonsense are you talking about!" A man interrupted him angrily, "Get out of here!"

This familiar voice...

Li Jun turned around suddenly and saw his brother's handsome but sullen face. Behind his brother stood the mysterious Pei Sanye Pei Yan, the somewhat gloating Zhou Zhuangyuan, and the stunned Mr. Shen.

"Brother!" Li Jun rubbed his shoulders and called out to Li Duan cautiously.

Li Duan wanted to slap this brainless brother to death.

What a great opportunity today is, there is a top scholar, a third scholar, and a double-professional scholar. Others have no chance to curry favor with them, but he comes here to flirt with other people's ladies and even brazenly says he wants to be a live-in son-in-law of another family. It is simply disgraceful.

The thought flashed through his mind and he felt something in his heart.

A live-in son-in-law?!

Could that girl be Miss Yu?

Li Duan couldn't help but glance at the woman sitting opposite his brother.

After just one glance, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

She was of medium height, not as slim as the fashionable figure nowadays, but with long legs, a slender waist and exquisite curves. She wore a very ordinary white striped gauze jacket and a scarlet horse-faced skirt with eight-sided embroidered flowers. She had her hair in a double spiral bun with a bunch of jasmine flowers inserted behind it. The small silver lilac earrings sparkled in the sunlight, setting off the red in the corners of her eyes, adding a bit of beauty to her pure beauty.

No wonder the Fu family would also propose marriage.

She is really beautiful.

Li Duan was unable to recover from his shock for a long time.

Zhou Zhuangyuan, who was watching from the side, laughed and spread out the black lacquer and gold-painted Sichuan fan in his hand, breaking the silence: "This one has a red face and ears, and the other has tears in her eyes. I don't know what kind of grievance they have suffered." He said, smiling and looking at Li Duan, "Come, come, come. If you have anything to say, just tell us and we will make the decision for you."

It was as if Li Duan was the Queen Mother who ruined people’s marriages.

"Zijin!" Shen Shanyan shouted Zhou Zhuangyuan's name with a gloomy face, "This is not the capital, you better be more restrained, don't bring your Beijing tricks to Lin'an City."

He was a man in his fifties, tall and thin, with white hair and beard, a serious face, and wearing a bright blue coarse cloth robe. He did not look like a scholar who had passed the imperial examination but rather a failed scholar who had failed the imperial examination for a long time.

Zhou Zhuangyuan seemed a little scared of him. Seeing that he was unhappy, he laughed a few times and looked at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan was looking at Yu Tang.

Met this girl again.

He still remembered the scene when he saw her in Zhaoming Temple.

She wore a scarlet silk jacket with embroidered folded branches and her hair was tied up in a bun. As she walked, the soft silk clung to her body, her waist was slender like a willow branch, and the silver-plated pearl-studded swing inserted diagonally at her temples was like a swing, clinging to her snow-white face.

The young men under the Wudao Pine rushed to her and showed their courtesy.

But at this moment...her eyes were red, her face was as pale as death, and she stared blankly at Li Duan.

Pei Yan couldn't help but look at Li Duan.

Perhaps because he was going to meet them, he was dressed very formally, wearing a red silk gown with five-bat floral patterns, a lotus-colored turban on his head, a purse and three gold coins hanging from his waist, with fair skin, handsome features, and a pine-like body. Just standing there quietly, he reminded people of the words of praise such as "orchids and jade trees."

But there was something wrong with his expression at this moment.

He stared at the young lady from the Yu family without blinking...

Could it be that there is some story between this eldest son of the Li family and this Miss Yu?

Pei Yan curled his lips and was almost knocked off balance by Zhou Zijin who rushed over and put his arm on his shoulders.

Zhou Zijin whispered to him: "Hey, what's that look in your eyes? You don't know this girl, do you? What's going on? This girl is not simple to make a man shout that he wants to be a live-in son-in-law like this! Tell me, I will keep it a secret!"

Pei Yan frowned, impatiently knocked his arm off his shoulder, and said, "Stop going crazy."

Zhou Zijin pursed his lips slightly, as if he had something to say. Shen Shanyan's heart skipped a beat, fearing that he would say something shocking again, and he coughed heavily a few times.

Li Duan was not confused yet and came to his senses.

He felt a little guilty.

After ten years of studying hard, he had never looked at another woman, but the girl in front of him made him feel itchy and he couldn't help but look at her carefully.

He quickly organized his thoughts and said to Li Jun, "Why don't you go and pay respect to the elders? You've read so much that it's gone to waste."

Li Jun walked forward with a red face and saluted everyone.

Pei Yan raised his hand casually, signaling Li Jun not to be polite, and then asked Zhou Zijin calmly: "Are you leaving or not? If you don't, then I'll leave first!"
