Chapter 341: Who is not worthy of whom?
Su Laowu's eyes dimmed.
Then, he said coldly: "Prince Zhuo may have misunderstood. Su is devoted to learning and has never thought of getting married. He will definitely not do anything to ruin someone's marriage. Prince Zhuo can rest assured!"
Zhuo Yishu immediately understood what Su Laowu meant.
Although Su Laowu's attitude made him unhappy.
But knowing that Su Laowu would not compete with him for Ye Mingyan, he was secretly happy.
"You're smart!" Zhuo Yishu said in a condescending tone.
Su Xiaoliu quits!
What kind of attitude is this?!
If you dare to treat his fifth brother like this, I will beat you to a pulp!
"Why are you so proud?" Su Xiaoliu shouted, "My brother wants to be the top scholar and not get married, not because he's afraid of you! Uncle Zheng likes my brother and wants to marry Miss Ye to him because he's talented!"
County Magistrate Zheng: “…”
What's going on?
He liked the fifth sister and wanted to get married, but before he even mentioned it, someone else made it clear?
Who came up with this?
He hasn't revealed it to the Su family yet...
No! Did Lao Wu refuse?
County Magistrate Zheng finally grasped the crux of the problem.
"You, what are you doing..."
County Magistrate Zheng looked at this and then that, not knowing what to say.
Then, he thought of Ye Mingyan who had just left...
County Magistrate Zheng's heart sank.
He wanted to continue deceiving himself, but he couldn't do it anymore.
I'm afraid this marriage with the Su family will not be successful.
But what does this Prince Zhuo mean?
He has already been engaged, could he possibly want Mingyan to be his concubine?
Besides, what does Lao Wu mean?
What is a bad marriage?
Mingyan is not engaged to Prince Zhuo.
Could it be that...
County Magistrate Zheng felt his head buzzing.
After hearing what Su Xiaoliu said, Zhuo Yishu felt humiliated and immediately retorted.
"Boy, your brother is sensible, but you don't know what's good for you. Learn from him!" Zhuo Yishu said disdainfully, "If you have a better eye, you will live longer!"
Just as Su Xiaoliu was about to retort, Su Laowu pressed his brother's shoulder, looked at Zhuo Yishu, and said, "Master Zhuo, my brother is right. I just don't have any interest in marriage, not because I'm afraid of you! In my opinion, if you can't establish a career, how can you start a family?"
When Su Laowu said this, a dazzling light emanated from his eyes, and his aura changed accordingly.
"A real man should do what he should do and what he shouldn't do! Only then can his life be lived in vain! Although I am only a scholar and dare not compare myself to the sages, I will not disgrace the integrity of a man, nor do I feel that I am unworthy..."
Su Laowu paused.
After all, directly bringing up Ye Mingyan's name like this is an insult to the girl's reputation and also a slap in the face of County Magistrate Zheng.
This is not what a gentleman does!
Su Laowu naturally couldn't do such a thing.
However, Su Laowu would not do such a thing. Su Xiaoliu is young and does not think so much!
He cheered for his brother without hesitation.
"That's right! My brother is not unworthy of Miss Ye..."
"Xiao Liu!" Su Laowu shouted suddenly.
Then, he looked at County Magistrate Zheng with an apologetic look.
"Uncle Zheng, Xiaoliu is young and outspoken. Please don't argue with him."
After saying that, he looked at Su Xiaoliu again.
"Xiao Liu, apologize to Uncle Zheng!"
Su Xiaoliu also reacted at this time.
Saying this in front of County Magistrate Zheng seemed too frivolous.
"Hehe... I'm sorry, Uncle Zheng." Su Xiaoliu touched his head and said embarrassedly, "I just spoke my mind and said something irrelevant. Please don't be angry. Miss Ye is so beautiful, she is definitely worthy of my brother..."
The corners of Su Laowu's mouth twitched.
Suddenly I felt that my younger brother was a little stupid.
"Okay, Xiaoliu, stop talking." County Magistrate Zheng said with a headache.
The more Su Xiaoliu spoke, the more uncomfortable County Magistrate Zheng felt.
A good marriage just fell through like that.
Besides, what did Lao Wu mean by what he said just now?
Could it be that Ming Yan and Prince Zhuo have already secretly passed it on to each other?
County Magistrate Zheng was still struggling with this issue.
**
The banquet was held by the lake in the garden.
There is a small flower bed between the men's and women's seats.
However, the women's section was covered with transparent pink gauze.
In this way, the women can see clearly what is happening on the men's side through the veil.
This way of eating is popular among some wealthy families.
The purpose is to match young men and women together.
Therefore, whenever there is an opportunity to have such a banquet, families with children of school age will bring their children along.
Anyway, everyone evaluates and looks at each other.
Look, a group of young girls are leaning sideways to peek at the young men in the men's section.
"I heard that there's a nobleman from the capital..."
"I've heard about it too. It's said to be from a noble family..."
"Really? I wonder who it is?"
“…”
A group of girls were chattering away, their eyes shining, looking like young girls in love.
"I think that Mr. Su from the Su family is quite good-looking..."
A girl in an emerald green dress said in a low voice.
"What young master? He's nothing but a peasant from the countryside." A girl in yellow said disdainfully, "Although he has a more refined appearance, it's a pity that he's still the son of a poor family."
"Sister Yue is right," a pink-dressed girl immediately agreed. "Even if the son of that family has some good looks, it can't change his impoverished background. Could a family like ours really marry into a family like that?"
When the girl in yellow saw the support of the girl in pink, a smug expression appeared on her face.
Then, he glanced at the girl in the emerald green dress with disdain.
At this time, someone excitedly said: "Look, could that young master be from the capital?"
The eyes of the group of girls immediately turned to a young man holding a folding fan and looking handsome and elegant.
Next to the young man was County Magistrate Zheng, who had a flattering expression on his face.
"Mr. Qiu, please come in!" said County Magistrate Zheng with a flushed face.
This is the son of the Shangshu Mansion!
However, while County Magistrate Zheng was excited, he also felt a little nervous.
I'm afraid that this young master from the Shangshu Mansion also came because of Ye Mingyan.
When County Magistrate Zheng thought of this, he felt a headache.
However, Mr. Qiu said that he came to visit relatives with his stepmother, which made County Magistrate Zheng feel a little more at ease.
Although, he was puzzled as to why Fengqi County had relatives in the Shangshu Mansion, he, the county magistrate, did not know about it.
It has to be said that after serving as county magistrate for several years, Zheng County Magistrate has a pretty good understanding of the relationships between people in Fengqi County.
After all, County Magistrate Zheng was a smooth official who knew how to adapt.
County Magistrate Zheng naturally appointed Mr. Qiu as the chief.
Seeing the attitude of County Magistrate Zheng, a group of girls, separated by veils, immediately became convinced that this young man must have come from the capital.
After all, the elders in the family were full of flattery and reserved in front of County Magistrate Zheng.
Anyone who could be treated like this by County Magistrate Zheng must be a person of noble status.
The girl in yellow looked at Mr. Qiu with burning eyes and said, "If I could marry into a family like that, wouldn't it be..."
"Hehe...Sister Yue, are you moved?" The girl in pink joked with a smile.
"What are you talking about, you little bitch? I'm going to rip your mouth off."
The girl in yellow blushed and wanted to hit the girl in pink in anger.
The girl in pink naturally dodged with a smile.
Thus, the silver bell-like laughter from the women's seat immediately spread to the men's seat.
