The news of Xue Zhi's injury did
not reach the Zheng family until the next day. Zheng Xiu was watched by Old Lady Zheng and could not go out.
Zheng Xiu guessed that her father probably did not tell her grandmother about her affairs, so she said to Old Lady Zheng: "Xue the Hunter has been kind to me. Now that she is injured, I should go to visit her."
Old Lady Zheng also insisted on her own opinion, "You are an unmarried girl, how can you always go to a widower's house? Didn't you bring A Yu to visit him before? It's enough to show your kindness. Besides, the rumors outside are not over yet. If you go, won't the rumors spread even more?"
Zheng Xiu was also a little amused. This was probably one of the reasons why she wanted to marry Xue Zhi at that time. In modern times, she can visit Xue Zhi without any worries and do something within her ability to repay him. But in this era, she is a woman and Xue Zhi is a man. Whether she is married or not, she cannot get close to him. In addition, there are still rumors like that outside, so it is too early for her family to ask her to avoid suspicion.
If there is any way for her to take care of Xue Zhi and Xue Shao openly, it seems that there is really no other way except marrying him.
However, as soon as she put forward this idea, her father rejected it.
Zheng Xiu had no choice but to wait for Zheng Ren to come back from the academy and then tell him.
After Zheng Ren came back, he said, "I have already found time to visit Ah Zhi at noon. The doctor said it's not a big deal. He just can't get out of bed recently and needs to rest. There is nothing else serious."
Zheng Xiu finally felt relieved. "Then I'll make some food and bring it over tomorrow for Xue Liehu and Ah Shao to eat. I'm afraid it's not convenient for them to go home these days."
"I've already told Ah Yu to invite Ah Shao to our house for dinner every day when it snows, and then bring some back home. You don't have to go there."
Her father didn't want her to have any contact with Xue Zhizhi at all.
Zheng Xiu just felt that her previous actions were too reckless.
Maybe everyone has a rebellious mentality. Zheng Xiu didn't deny that the idea at the time was just a momentary impulse, but after calming down, she thought a lot.
I saw a joke on the Internet before. If the person who saved someone is good-looking and is the person you like, then the woman’s words are usually "Your kindness is so great that I cannot repay you. I can only promise you my body." If he is not good-looking, then the words are most likely to be, "Your kindness is so great that I cannot repay you. I will work like a slave for the rest of my life to repay you for saving my life."
This may be just a joke to make people laugh.
But when Zheng Xiu couldn't sleep at night, she couldn't help but wonder why she wanted to marry Xue Zhi.
The two didn't interact much. Every time he came home, he worked hard, didn't talk much, but worked very hard. Although he was a little dark, he had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was very heroic. When he smiled, his big white teeth were quite eye-catching.
Thinking of this, she smiled unconsciously. Xue Shao is fair and clean, why is his father so dark?
He is a good person, good-looking, and capable. When he encounters someone who bullies her like Zhu, he can help to deal with it without saying a word. Except that he is a little poor and has to take care of a child, it seems that there is no disadvantage.
But being poor doesn't matter, as long as people are willing to make progress. Taking care of a child is even less of a problem. Zheng Xiu got in touch with his father because she felt that she had a good relationship with Xue Shao and liked this child. By
this calculation, Xue Zhi is probably the only man she likes in all the years since she came here.
But her father insisted, and Zheng Xiu couldn't persuade him. She could only greet Xue Shao a few more times when he came home for dinner every day, and told him to come to her house anytime if he had any problems.
Xue Shao was also very surprised and asked her, "My father is fine except that he can't bend his waist. If you are worried, why don't you go home with me to see him..."
Zheng Xiu wanted to say that she wanted to go and see him, but she had to ask her family to let her go. But she couldn't say that to Xue Shao, so she just said, "Something happened at home these days, and I can't get away."
After Xue Shao went back, he brought Zheng Xiu's greetings.
"She is worried, right?" Xue Zhi asked. Based on his understanding of her, she felt so guilty that she said she was going to marry him. Now that she heard that he was injured, she should want to come to visit. If she can't come, it means that her father is holding her back.
Xue Shao nodded honestly, "After dinner, my sister talked to me for a long time and asked about Dad's diet and daily life."
Xue Zhi couldn't help but curl his lips.
Xue Shao had already placed the food in the basket he brought back on the kang table and pushed it in front of his father, "Dad, eat, stop grinning."
Xue Zhi: ...
The story between Zheng Xiu and Xue Zhi became more and more serious among many gossip lovers, and it became more and more realistic.
So much so that later, when Zheng Xiu and Old Lady Zheng went out to buy food, they felt someone pointing fingers at them from behind.
Although she didn't think these rumors were anything special before, when they developed to this point, they had already begun to affect their daily lives.
Zheng Xiu was fine, but Old Lady Zheng was so embarrassed that her ears turned red.
Zheng Xiu had stayed at home for a few days and had not come out. She had not expected that the rumors outside had developed to this extent. Her father did not let her go out, perhaps because he wanted to protect her.
After the two of them bought vegetables, Old Lady Zheng took her home.
Before they walked out of the street market, they were blocked by someone.
Zheng Xiu looked closely and saw that the person was wearing a light blue round-necked silk shirt and a shiny golden crown on his head. His body was twice the size of an ordinary person, and on his big white face were two small eyes squeezed into slits by fat. Who else could it be but Young Master Feng from Mr. Feng's family.
Master Feng was still waving a paper fan with black characters on a white background in his hand. When he saw Zheng Xiu, he slammed the fan shut and asked with a smile, "Are you and the old lady out to buy vegetables?" As he spoke, his eyes seemed to be glued to Zheng Xiu, making her feel uncomfortable.
Zheng Xiu had never spoken to him before, and didn't understand why he suddenly came up to talk to her, so she just nodded and said expressionlessly, "I've already bought everything and am about to go home."
Master Feng turned around and told the servant, "Didn't you see that the young lady is holding something in her hand? You are so blind, why don't you help her!"
The servant responded and came up to take the vegetable basket from Zheng Xiu's hand.
Zheng Xiu turned aside and said, "I don't know you, young master, so I don't dare to bother you."
"I have admired you for a long time, so what's the big deal?" Young Master Feng said with a smile, "Young lady, you don't have to be polite to me, maybe we can become a family in the future."
"Who is your family?" Zheng Xiu also got angry. She was already annoyed by being pointed at just now, but who would have thought that such a talkative guy would come now!
The two talked like this on the street, and Young Master Feng brought three or five servants. There were already people watching the excitement whispering, and Old Lady Zheng pulled Zheng Xiu and asked her to pay more attention.
"Go home." Old Lady Zheng said, then turned to Master Feng and said, "Don't bother Master, we'll go back now."
Master Feng was not willing to let them go like this. His father had told him to take advantage of the current situation to keep Zheng Xiu in his hands. Imagine a girl who is about to get married and is under pressure from all kinds of rumors. Suddenly someone said that he didn't mind these and expressed his admiration for her. Then the girl would definitely be moved. It would be a matter of time before she married him, not to mention that she had no choice.
Unfortunately, Zheng Xiu had been staying at home for a while and she could not even see her shadow. He finally took advantage of her going out to buy groceries to create an "encounter". He would never let this opportunity go.
"Ah, old lady, you are too polite." Young Master Feng said, "My father said that he will go to your house to propose marriage in the next two days. Our two families are not outsiders."
"My father will not agree, don't dream in vain." Zheng Xiu sneered. Her father rejected her marriage to Xue Zhi, not to mention the fat and ugly Young Master Feng in front of him!
Young Master Feng waved his paper fan and said confidently: "Miss, what you said is too arbitrary. Rumors are spreading everywhere, even in the academy. My father has some personal relationship with the dean. If it weren't for my father's mediation, I'm afraid my uncle's life in the academy would not be the same as before."
