"I'm inviting you to do you a favor, but you're being ungrateful." Manager Wu raised his eyebrows and threw the invitation into Xu Jiang's arms. "I've delivered the invitation. It's your fault if you can't come. But don't blame me for not reminding you. The current head of Wanjuan Tower is not Zhou Shancai, who always shows some mercy. Even if you're sharp-tongued, it won't be a matter of a few verbal arguments. Be careful."
Xu Jiang caught the invitation and was about to throw it back, but she saw that his face seemed swollen, so she stared at him for a few more seconds.
Manager Wu immediately avoided her gaze and turned away.
Judging from the resentment in his words just now, it seems that he is not having a happy time in Wanjuan Tower.
Xu Jiang snorted coldly, thinking that every evildoer will be punished by his own evil.
Liang Mo asked, "Boss, are you going?"
Xu Jiang opened the invitation and took a look. "No, this is clearly a Hongmen Feast. Why would I want to walk into a trap?"
Moreover, how could she be worthy of Mr. Du, who was slandered by him, by having her sit at the same table with such a despicable villain like Zhao Xiu?
Besides, with her temper, it would be better if she didn't go. If she goes and doesn't obey, I'm afraid both sides will be embarrassed.
Moreover, the bookstore has now been transferred to the Imperial College, so it is best to avoid Zhao Xiu and Wanjuanlou.
Then she said to Liang Mo, "When you go back later, please go to Songchuang Bookstore and tell Shopkeepers Wu and Dan to be careful if they are going to the banquet tomorrow. They must not confront Wanjuanlou head-on. Zhao Xiu is not someone you can easily get along with."
Liang Mo nodded, "I understand."
Lou Yunchun has recently been looking for a house at a dentist. It doesn't have to be spacious, but it just needs to be quiet and close to a bookstore.
Normally, he and Xu Jiang should live in the Lou Mansion and serve his parents after they got married. However, Xu Jiang was not a woman of seclusion. Although the Lou family had a relaxed rule, there were still many rules and regulations, and the people were noisy. He was worried that she would not be able to adapt to the living there, so he wanted to buy another house so that he and she could live more comfortably.
Besides, Xu Jiang also had to take care of the bookstore, so if she got busy, it would be convenient for her to live nearby. This didn't mean they wouldn't live in the mansion. If the bookstore wasn't busy, they would still go back to the mansion to be with their parents.
Lou Jing couldn't help but applaud when he heard this. Even birds know how to build nests when they start families, so what about humans?
Anyway, Zhaoxingfang and Yonghefang are not too far apart. They can take care of each other and have their own freedom, so as to avoid getting tired of each other at home and damaging the harmony between father and son.
Mrs. Lou had no objection. As long as the two were happy, everything was fine.
Since his parents had no objection, Lou Yunchun couldn't wait to start looking at houses.
After dinner, he took out the house map given by the broker today and chose it with Xu Jiang under the lamp.
Xu Jiang originally thought that her bookstore was good, but when she thought about the frequent comings and goings of people in the bookstore and the fact that Lou Yunchun was an official, which would be inconvenient, she agreed.
"This one's great." Xu Jiang picked up a two-story house with two courtyards, a pond, and trees. "It's two streets away from here, so it's pretty close."
“Will it be too small?”
"It's just you and me, but it's too big to take care of." The two of them did not plan to have maids or servants, and wanted to take care of their own nest.
"Alright." Lou Yunchun picked up another house plan. "This one is also good. It's a suitable size and is square and spacious."
"Yes, that's right. Let's take a look at both of them when you have your day off."
Lou Yunchun put the drawings of the two houses he had selected aside and went to the government office tomorrow to set a date with the agent to view the houses.
After putting away the blueprints, Lou Yunchun placed his hand on Xu Jiang's and asked, "Father plans to go to the academy on the tenth to discuss our marriage with Master Lin. What do you think?"
Xu Jiang lowered his head slightly, "Okay."
Seeing that she was rarely shy, Lou Yunchun's heart moved a little, so he leaned close to her and pecked her lightly on the face, then took her hand and put it on his face.
Xu Jiang felt a warmth and thought to herself: It turns out he is as nervous as she is, and she immediately felt relieved.
She sighed, "I never thought I would get married. Every time I wake up, it feels like a dream, so unreal."
After all these years, she has become accustomed to the ups and downs and twists and turns. Her friendship with Lou Yunchun is like a ball on a slope, too smooth, which makes people feel uneasy.
Lou Yunchun said, "Unlike you, I feel that everything before I met you was just a dream, and I am finally awake now."
Xu Jiang smiled and tugged at the corner of his mouth along his cheek, "How did you learn to be so good at coaxing people?"
"I'm not trying to lie. These are all from the bottom of my heart." Lou Yunchun held her hand and pressed it against his chest. "You feel it's not real because you've never been as cautious as I am, afraid that you'll regret it."
Xu Jiang came from mountains, rivers and streams, and wandered around the market. She was not a woman who lived in seclusion. She was free and easy, and behaved casually, like a free bird.
So from the moment he approached her, he was always attentive and careful, for fear that he would scare her away by mistake.
Fortunately, the bird was tired of flying and wanted to build a nest and rest.
Fortunately, she has a "weakness" that values friendship and cannot bear to disappoint her friends in the market, friends regardless of age difference, old friends, including him, the "plague god" who insists on appearing in her world without saying hello.
This gave him the opportunity to take advantage of it and keep pestering me, hoping for a perfect ending today.
"Regret?" Xu Jiang thought for a moment, then shook his head. "From the very beginning, I've never regretted it. It's just that I really didn't think about getting married at first. After being with you for a long time, I found that we were so compatible, so I just decided to do it without thinking."
Her frankness made Lou Yunchun speechless. In the end, he felt relieved that they had met, known each other, and loved each other.
Seeing that he was silent, Xu Jiang tapped his chest and said, "This can be considered a blessing in disguise. Fortunately, it was you who was able to achieve the desired result. If it were someone else, we would have parted ways long ago."
The first half of these words made Lou Yunchun feel sweet, but the second half made him jealous.
