Zhang Xiulin refused: "Brother, I need to study and take the imperial examination. I don't have the time to focus on children's personal affairs."
Zhang Xiuyuan: "It's just an engagement, it won't affect you."
Zhang Xiulin choked but still refused.
Zhang Xiuyuan didn't force her.
So, the matchmaker's request for engagement was rejected. What Zhao Chuchu didn't expect was that two more matchmakers came that afternoon.
Understanding what Zhang Xiulin meant, Zhao Chuchu helped her refuse without asking her.
Despite repeated rejections, the matchmaker still persisted in coming to the door.

"Sister Xiulin, wait."
In the afternoon and tomorrow, Zhang Xiulin had a day off. After leaving the private school, he returned to Zhaojia Village. On the way, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
That was the student that Li Xiucai had just accepted not long ago, and she could be considered her junior sister.
"Xiaowan, don't run, walk slowly." Zhang Xiulin stopped and waited for Zhao Wan.
In the private school, Zhao Wan admired Zhang Xiulin the most.
Zhao Wan finally arrived, panting, carrying a book box on her back.
After Zhang Xiulin waited for her to rest for a while, the two of them walked forward side by side.
"Sister Xiulin, I heard about something big and came here to tell you." Zhao Wan smiled mysteriously.
Zhang Xiulin glanced at her: "Oh, what's the big deal."
Zhao Wan chuckled and whispered mysteriously, "Sister Xiulin, someone has sent a matchmaker to your house to arrange an engagement with you."
Zhang Xiulin thought it was something else, but it turned out to be about an engagement.
Seeing her indifferent expression, Zhao Wan asked in confusion, "Aren't you surprised at all?"
"Why are you surprised? I already knew about this. Matchmakers have been coming to my house frequently these past few days, but I asked my brother, sister-in-law, and eldest brother to reject them on my behalf."
Zhao Wan immediately shook her head. "No, this time is different. Someone will come to your house to propose marriage this afternoon. You'll never guess who it is. To be honest, I just heard about it by accident."
"You will definitely be surprised when you know who it is." Zhao Wan said vividly.
Zhang Xiulin still didn't care much, but still followed her and asked, "Oh, who is that?"
"It's Xiao Jie!" Zhao Wan covered her mouth with her hands, afraid that others would hear her, and whispered in her ear.
Zhang Xiulin suddenly stopped and turned to look at her: "Who were you talking about?"
"Xiao Jie." She originally wanted to say "Little Stutterer," but she felt it was not good to casually call someone by a nickname. She changed the subject and added, "The young master of Fengya Bookstore, the young master with red lips and white teeth, Xiao Jie."
When Zhang Xiulin heard Xiao Jie's name, he was stunned for a moment and his heart skipped a beat.
Song Wanxian represented Xiao Jie. She invited the matchmaker Mrs. Wu from Renhe County to come to the Zhao family this afternoon to arrange a marriage between Xiao Jie and Zhang Xiulin.
Zhao Wan also heard it by accident.
"Sister Xiulin, does Young Master Xiao like you? I see him following you around like a little tail."
"A follower!?" Zhang Xiulin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Zhao Wan immediately shut her mouth. Sister Xiulin was really protecting that little stutterer.
Seeing Zhang Xiulin's silence, Zhao Wan couldn't help but gossip, "Sister Xiulin, will you agree to Xiao Jie's marriage proposal?"
She kept asking Zhang Xiulin questions.
Zhang Xiulin's calm heart was already in turmoil. Zhao Wan kept asking, and she couldn't help but frown: "Zhao Wan, shut up and don't ask. Otherwise, I will go to your house and tell your mother that you are naughty and mischievous in the private school and not studying hard."
Zhao Wan's face showed horror: "Sister Xiulin, you are so cruel, how could you lie."
