"Thank you, mother." No matter how steady and calm Zhao Xiuqing had always been, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth at this moment.
Zhao Xiuqing's mother was talking about the eldest son of the Lan hunter family in the village. She only found out not long ago that this 19-year-old boy had been waiting for her, just because Zhao Xiuqing had helped him a few years ago.
He has a very nice name, Zhao Liluo.
He is handsome and has a cheerful personality. When he smiles, he is as dazzling as the sun in the sky.
In addition, as the son of a hunter, his family was well-off. Since he was fifteen years old, matchmakers had been coming to him to propose marriage, but Li Luo refused them all.
Only after his parents pressed him did he learn that Li Luo actually liked Zhao Xiuqing.
However, due to Zhao Xiuqing's family background, Lan the Hunter firmly opposed letting his beloved son marry into the family.
Neither side was willing to compromise, so Li Luo's marriage was delayed again and again until now when she was nineteen years old.
The Lan hunter family kept this matter a secret very well, and Zhao Xiuqing only found out about it from a good friend of Li Luo.
Zhao Xiuqing didn't know why, but she had been thinking about this since she heard about it. Later, she met Li Luo by chance. After that, the two spent more and more time together, and Zhao Xiuqing fell in love with this handsome, kind and cheerful boy.
So, after starting work at the Zhao family's pastry shop, Zhao Xiuqing asked her mother to go to the hunter Lan's family to propose marriage.
She was very nervous, but she didn't expect it to work.
Zhao Xiuqing clenched her fists, took out a hairpin she had just bought, rushed out of the house, and went straight to Lan the Hunter's house. She looked like a young girl who had just fallen in love.
…
More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the provincial examination was about to begin.
Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan drove a carriage, preparing to take Zhang Xiulin there a few days in advance.
"Sister Lin, can't I really go with you?" Xiao Jie pulled Zhang Xiulin's sleeve reluctantly, his eyes glued to her all the time.
"Be good, wait for me at home. I will come to see you after I finish the exam." Zhang Xiulin rubbed his soft hair.
With Zhang Xiulin's comfort, Xiao Jie finally got the answer.
But he still couldn't bear to leave. Even after Zhang Xiulin got on the carriage, he was still looking around eagerly.
Zhao Chuchu looked at this scene and couldn't help but joked: "Oh, this little guy, if you don't know him, you would think he is a little wife-waiting stone, waiting for you to come back at home."
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhang Xiulin with a playful look.
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother and sister-in-law, please stop joking."
Zhao Chuchu chuckled, shrugged, and said helplessly: "Okay, if you think I'm joking, then I'm joking. But with my sharp eyes, I can guarantee that the little thing is definitely targeting you."
Zhang Xiuyuan glared at her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Sister Lin and Xiaojie are still so young."
Zhao Chuchu shrank her neck. The little wolfdog was a bit fierce.
But Zhao Chuchu still kept her mouth shut.
She leaned against the carriage and sighed slightly, feeling a sense of loneliness as if everyone else was drunk but she was sober.
Zhang Xiulin lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the person behind him who was getting smaller and smaller as he went farther and farther away.
The Wife-Looking Stone?
The corners of Zhang Xiulin's lips curled up slightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
The carriage stopped and started for a day and a night before finally arriving at Tangzhou Prefecture.
This is the largest and farthest place Zhao Chuchu has ever been to since she traveled through time.
Compared with the small Renhe County, Tangzhou Prefecture seems much more lively and prosperous.
