When Zhang Xiulin met the playful eyes of his brother and sister-in-law, his earlobes felt inexplicably hot.
"No, it's not true." Zhang Xiulin, who was not afraid even when the prefect was standing next to him during the provincial examination, was now so nervous that he stuttered.
"I, I think what Big Brother said is right. It's just an engagement, it won't affect my imperial examination."
Zhang Xiuyuan glanced at her and thought to himself: Children's minds are so fickle.
Zhang Xiulin didn't dare to meet Zhang Xiuyuan's questioning gaze, and quickly looked away, feeling a little guilty.
"Alright." Zhao Chuchu didn't pursue the matter any further and gave her a look that said, "Whatever you say is right." "But you have to tell me which family's young man you want to marry."
Zhang Xiulin opened her mouth and tried to utter a name several times, but she choked back shyly. She thought for a moment and said politely, "Someone should come to propose marriage this afternoon. Brother and sister-in-law, just accept the proposal for me."
Her cheeks were burning so hot that she didn't dare to look up at the two of them, nor did she dare to stay here any longer: "Sorry to bother my brother and sister-in-law, I, I'm going back to my room to read."
After saying that, she hurriedly trotted away, as if she was afraid that the two men would catch up and arrest her to question her.
When Zhao Chuchu saw Zhang Xiulin for the first time, she was surprised and amused by her shy and thin-skinned appearance.
"It turns out that it's not that she just wants to study and take the imperial examinations, but the young man she loves hasn't come to her house yet. So when she heard that the young man was going to propose marriage, she immediately got nervous." Zhao Chuchu joked with Zhang Xiuyuan with a smile.
Looking at Zhang Xiulin's appearance, Zhao Chuchu inexplicably thought of the modern era.
Her behavior is particularly like the love between modern campus boys and girls, pure, without a trace of impurities, and a heart-pounding early love.
It's just puppy love, he's only about ten years old.
"Brother Yuan, who do you think Sister Lin likes?" The little girl was shy and didn't dare to say it, which whetted her appetite.
She stood behind Zhang Xiuyuan, put her arms around his thin waist, and rubbed her cheek against his broad back.
Zhang Xiuyuan was wearing a humanoid pendant behind him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable and a little shy. He glanced outside and whispered, "Hurry up and get up! What if someone sees us?"
After a pause, he added, "Why guess so much now? We'll know in the afternoon."

Zhang Xiulin hurried back to her room, went in and closed the door.
Zhang Xiulin sat down on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
She reached out and took something out of her arms.
It turned out to be the "Top of the List" talisman that Xiao Jie had given her.
Zhang Xiulin gently rubbed the surface of the talisman with his fingertips, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

Ever since Zhang Xiulin came to talk about the engagement, Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan did not go out in the afternoon and waited at home for the matchmaker to come.
"Brother Yuan, do you think Sister Lin was joking, or did she hear it wrong? Why hasn't the matchmaker come to our house yet?"
This is the nth time Zhao Chuchu has said this.
Zhang Xiuyuan was too lazy to reply to her as only an hour had passed in the afternoon.
At this moment, Zhang Xiuyuan seemed to hear voices outside, and he said, "Is he here?"
Zhang Xiuyuan heard it right. He saw a middle-aged woman in a bright red dress, with a big mole on the side of her mouth, twisting her waist and holding a handkerchief as she walked in. When she saw Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan, her eyes suddenly lit up. Before she even got close, she kept saying congratulations.
