It seemed like someone was calling him in his ear. The redness in Xiao Jie's eyes faded away little by little, and he finally came to his senses.
"Young master, how are you?" The servant asked worriedly, enduring the pain in his chest.
Xiao Jie was stunned. Seeing the blood at the corner of the servant's lips, he realized what had happened belatedly. He was stunned for a long time, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." He lowered his head.
"Young master, I'm fine, let's go back." The servant knew that his young master was kind and what happened just now was not intentional.
Even so, Xiao Jie still asked someone to call a doctor.
The doctor was quickly summoned. After taking his pulse, he said, "He has internal injuries, but fortunately they are not serious. I will prescribe some herbal remedies later. He will be fully recovered in seven or eight days."
Because of Xiao Jie's request, the servant lay on the bed to rest. Looking at the little boy standing in front of his bed, he said, "Young Master, I'm really fine."
The little boy looked up, pursed his lips, said nothing, but his eyes were filled with tears.
The servant felt distressed all of a sudden: "Young Master, don't cry, I don't feel any pain at all."
Xiao Jie blinked and quickly wiped back his tears.
After instructing the servant to have a good rest, Xiao Jie left the room.
Standing at the door, the sunlight fell directly on him, but he did not feel the slightest warmth.
Scenes flashed before his eyes, and Xiao Jie couldn't help but clench his fists.
After a long time, he remembered something and ran out the door.
He was going to Zhaojia Village to find Sister Lin.
He didn't believe that Sister Lin would get engaged to someone else.
But……
The words those people said lingered in his ears again and again.
Xiao Jie didn't care about the other people they mentioned. What he cared about was the "most handsome boy in Renhe County", whose name was Han Luo.
He had met Han Luo. His sister was Sister Lin's classmate. He often came to see his sister and would also look for opportunities to talk to Sister Lin.
Han Luo is handsome, gentle, and clean, especially when he cries, making people want to hold everything in front of him and give it to him.
Han Luo came from a wealthy family with relatives serving as officials. It's said that scholars love marrying into official families, but what about Sister Lin? Sister Lin certainly wouldn't do that. She could earn fame, wealth, and status on her own, but would Sister Lin's family agree?
Xiao Jie compared himself with Han Luo and felt that he was inferior to him in every way.
Who will Sister Lin get engaged to?
Xiao Jie wanted to go and see it in person.
…
The Zhao family has been bustling with activity every day since Zhang Xiulin passed the imperial examination. In particular, within two or three days, a matchmaker would come to the house to arrange a marriage for Zhang Xiulin on behalf of a certain family.
When Zhao Chuchu saw the matchmaker coming to her house for the first time and learned her purpose, she was shocked.
engagement!?
Sister Lin is less than ten years old.
In modern times, he would still be an elementary school student!
After the shock, I thought about it and felt that it was not surprising. After all, this was in ancient times, and there were many people who were engaged to each other since childhood.
Zhang Xiulin is talented and good-looking, so he is a high-quality stock.
She had previously thought that "catching a son-in-law from under the list" would only happen in the provincial and metropolitan examinations, that is, when students passed the imperial examinations and became juren or jinshi. She didn't expect that Lin Jie'er would be "caught as a son-in-law" just after she passed the imperial examination.
Zhao Chuchu did not accept or reject on Zhang Xiulin's behalf, but asked Zhang Xiuyuan to ask Zhang Xiulin.
Zhang Xiulin was also shocked to learn that a matchmaker had come to her house.
"Sister Lin, if you like it, it's not bad to settle it."
