"What do you know?" Qiu Ling'er thought that Brother Zifang was a good person and treated her well.
But this young master, besides being good at painting, idles away his days, does nothing of substance, and doesn't manage the restaurant's affairs properly.
Compared to her brother... well, there's no comparison.
Qiu Ling'er likes men like her brother: steady, calm, hardworking, ambitious, and skilled in both literature and martial arts.
Unfortunately, it was her own brother.
"What don't I understand?" Gu Xiaoran scratched her head, which had been slapped, and followed Qiu Ling'er beside her, continuing to tease her:
"Auntie, if you don't like Zhou Zifang, how about I help you find a husband?"
"Get out of the way." Qiu Ling'er pushed Gu Xiaoran away and turned around to see her sister and brother-in-law smiling at her.
She coughed stiffly, somewhat embarrassed.
Gu Qian smiled at Qiu Yan, half-jokingly and half-seriously saying:
"Yan Yan, do you need help with Ling'er's marriage?"
In this city of Shangjin, he knew many scions of prominent families and knew some of their backgrounds.
“That’s a good idea,” Qiu Yan nodded.
Besides Xiao Ran's matter, her younger brother and sister's marriage is also her top priority.
Right now, his two younger siblings are already of marriageable age.
"Brother-in-law, you just need to take care of my sister. There's no rush for me." Qiu Ling'er lowered her head to hide her shyness.
She suddenly felt that it might be time for her to find someone to marry.
"Ling'er, choosing the best option is also an option," Qiu Yan suggested to her, not wanting her younger sister to keep dragging things out.
Gu Xiaoran nodded in agreement, and didn't forget to give Qiu Ling'er a suggestion, "Aunt Ling'er can hold a martial arts contest to find a husband."
As soon as he finished speaking, he received another sharp rap on the head from Qiu Ling'er.
"You talk too much!"
Qiu Ling'er thought about it, and realized she was almost nineteen years old.
Sigh, in the blink of an eye, she's become an old maid.
Good heavens, how time flies by so fast!
"Sister, it's settled then, we'll go by brother's standards." Qiu Ling'er finally compromised.
Of course, the prerequisite is that both parties must be in love.
"Okay," Qiu Yan readily agreed.
Gu Qian nodded with a smile.
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Yan spotted a snack shop.
The sweet and sour taste made her mouth water.
She glanced at him and saw that Gu Qian had already entered the bunk.
When he came out again, he had candied fruit in his hand.
"Eat up." Gu Qian handed the candied fruit to Qiu Yan.
He thought, this shouldn't have any effect on the pregnant woman.
Qiu Yan smiled and took it, then picked out a dried plum and popped it into her mouth.
The sour aroma was irresistible, and she found the taste incredibly refreshing, so she couldn't help but eat more.
Suddenly, bursts of mocking laughter came from the sparse crowd ahead.
Qiu Yan looked up and saw two brightly dressed women surrounding another woman in a royal blue dress, making sarcastic remarks.
The two women, one in pink and one in yellow, were incredibly alluring.
Pink-clad: "Heh, I say, you're just a girl from a humble family, yet you're always swaggering around, what's with all the arrogance? Do you think you're some noble family? I'm ashamed for you."
The man in yellow said, "That's right. Don't you even know your place? Now that Lord Liang has rejected you, it's truly retribution."
Pink-clad: "We adults didn't even look at her; she just clung to us herself."
Yellow-Clad: "Absolutely. A woman like this dares to try and outdo us. She's overestimating herself."
