A patrol passed by, led by Guan Xiaochun.
"Hey, isn't this the most handsome captain in Puning City? I heard that whenever he's on patrol, there are a lot more women on the streets."
Zhang Xinyue deliberately yelled, pointing outside as she spoke.
"Look, look, that corner, and behind that door, and over there—over there... it really is, several people suddenly appeared!"
"Let me see, let me see~"
The faces of several women were almost sticking out of the window. Fortunately, nowadays the windows are all pushed outwards, so it is easy to see outside from the inside, but it is not so easy to see inside from the outside.
Liu Wanyun nudged Miss Du and asked her to look at Miss Lu, and then everyone started joking...
"Look at Lu Zihan, she never takes her eyes off Captain Guoguan."
"Lu Zihan, your eyes are about to fall out."
"No, no, it's just that my saliva is about to flow out."
"Looking at the look in your eyes, you don't really like him, do you? Given your family backgrounds, I'm afraid..."
Except for Zhaodi, no one noticed that the last person in the patrol team looked familiar.
Just as he was looking towards the Jiangnan Teahouse, Zhaodi recognized him.
It seems to be Xie Bufan?
Perhaps because they had just discussed him, Zhaodi's gaze lingered on him for two more seconds. This man seemed to be a little darker than before, and his expression was not as ruffian as before, but more stable.
"One by one, pull your heads back and keep your voices down."
Lu Zihan felt embarrassed by the laughter and turned back, and at the same time pulled back Miss Zheng and Miss Zhou, the two talkative ones.
After everyone sat back down, she continued, "Captain Guan is quite an excellent officer. He's been promoted three times in the few months since he joined the yamen. My father likes him very much. If nothing goes wrong, he might become the next Chief Constable once he's gained enough experience."
Guan Xiaoyu, who had been silent the whole time, picked up a piece of ice and put it into her cup. "Even so, so what? You are the county magistrate's daughter! The gap is still there!"
The eldest brother probably had some feelings for Guan Xiaoyu, but it's unknown whether they had any mutual feelings at the time. However, when he knew Guan Xiaoyu was going to marry into the Shen family, he never acted inappropriately, but instead silently blessed her. He even helped them without hesitation when they were in trouble.
For this reason alone, Guan Xiaoyu also wants to help the senior brother to take good care of his feelings.
Lu Zihan lowered her head, feeling a little sad. "I know, that's why I never dared to tell him my feelings. I just watched him silently~"
"Hey, is this the Lu Zihan I know?"
Du Ruoxuan lowered her head to look at her, but saw that her eyes were a little red. She immediately panicked and hurried to comfort her.
"Not really. I think the fact that we can sit together and have fun together means we all have similar ideas. Look, I dare to marry even a small clerk, and you are still a majestic and awe-inspiring captain after all!"
"Be brave and pursue it!"
As the bride-to-be, Ruonan, who had been smiling and saying little today, fearing she would become the target of ridicule, also generously complained about herself, "Yeah, look at me, I'm going to marry the young doctor in the north of the city in two days!"
Zhang Xinyue pretended to be angry and glanced at her sideways, "Ruonan, I'm still here!"
“Hahahahahahahaha”
Everyone laughed.
Lu Zihan adjusted his mood and looked at them curiously. "Right, after the wedding in a few days, Ruonan will be the eldest sister-in-law of the Third Young Master's wife's family, and on the Shen family's side, the Third Young Master's wife will be Ruonan's sister-in-law. How should you two address each other from now on?"
Zhang Xinyue said carelessly, "That's easy. When she was at the Shen family, she called me sister-in-law. When she went to the Zhang family, I called her sister-in-law. When we're out, we just call each other by our first names, right? Sister-in-law Ruonan!"
The last sentence made Ruonan embarrassed, and she nodded with a red face.
"Look at her, she's so shameless, she's not even married yet, and I call her sister-in-law, and she just accepts it!"
Everyone laughed again.
Ruonan's marriage has been settled, but there is still no movement on Zhaodi's side.
She herself was not very anxious and had a stubborn personality. As the eldest sister-in-law, Liu Wanyun had to worry about her.
The topic slowly shifted to her.
"The eldest daughter of our Shen family is getting married in a few days. I wonder when our second daughter's marriage will be decided?"
As she spoke, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Miss Lu, but her words mentioned the Xie family, "Some time ago, the wife of the Xie family came to the mansion to inquire about our wives. She wanted to marry our Zhaodi as her principal wife...but that Xie Bufan..."
Lu Zihan interrupted her with a smile, "We're all here. Madam, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Instead of beating around the bush, I'll just say it straight out. As for Xie Bufan's intentions, my brother has the same intentions. It's just that I heard you say last time that it's wrong for him to give private information. He's currently studying hard at home and is going to take the next provincial examination. If he passes, he can negotiate with my parents."
"I just don't know if Miss Zhaodi would be interested in my brother..."
As the person involved, Zhaodi felt a little embarrassed. "I'm still sitting here. Next time you discuss this, can you please hint that I should step aside?"
Liu Wanyun smiled and patted her, "Then you still have time to avoid it now."
Zhaodi really stood up and went to find something to eat.
Liu Wanyun moved to a seat next to Lu Zihan and said in a voice that they could both hear, "Let's continue. Zhaodi didn't say anything against your brother, but you said you wanted to take the imperial examination. When do you have to wait?"
