Chapter 198 Thoughts
Xu Qingmeng informed Zhou Yuanjia that she had been sued by her so-called cousin, who wanted to rely on him because he passed the imperial examination, but he refused immediately.
This is why this incident happened.
Xinting listened carefully, "That's the thing. It's obvious that Zhou Yuanjia also likes you. You... think about it."
Xinting raised her head and said, "Aunt, what do you think?"
Xinting wanted to know Xu Qingmeng's opinion. Although she also had a good impression of him, she felt that she didn't know him well enough, and Zhou Yuanjia was only a scholar.
Xu Qingmeng thought for a long time: "Mr. Zhou is a good person. Although your uncle said before that he likes to play, after this incident, it can be seen that he is still clear-headed and has not done anything foolish because of the so-called instructions of the elders. In addition, he gave up his playfulness for you and worked hard to pass the exam to become a scholar. I think he didn't want to let your uncle down too much, otherwise he would not be ashamed to come to propose marriage. I think he will be more restrained after getting married."
"In addition to these, this man is also cheerful, loves to make friends, and is generous. Of course, I am not saying this just because he saved me. This Mr. Zhou is good in terms of family, knowledge, and character."
Xinting hesitated a little, "But... aunt, my mother..."
Xinting also liked Zhou Yuanjia. When they first met, she didn't think that this man would have anything to do with her, but considering his age, gentleness, and good looks, she was attracted to him.
Although they didn't have much contact, she saw him many times. Every time he looked at her, Zhou Yuanjia spoke hesitantly and blushed. She thought that this guy was quite cute.
He often came to Jinxiuxuan to buy snacks. Every time he would stare at her for a long time, but did not dare to talk to her. Madam Chen saw this once and secretly asked her if he liked her.
Xinting recalled that time and her face was full of smiles for that whole week. But then she thought of her mother and felt that it was not possible. Aunt Zhou and Accountant Zhou were both very nice people.
Later, I heard that Zhou Yuanjia passed the examination and ranked very high, so I put this thought aside. Later, I heard that he was injured. I actually wanted to go and see him, but I felt it was inappropriate, so I gave up. I was relieved to know that he was fine.
When He told her last night, she was happy in her heart. But this morning, when she arrived at the shop, she heard people talking about it. She was sad for a moment, but fortunately...
Xu Qingmeng looked at Xinting who was silent, her face full of smiles at one moment and disappointed at another, and she knew that she was happy, but she also knew that she was hesitant.
She was afraid that she was not worthy of Zhou Yuanjia!
"Xinting, you are fine. Don't worry about anything else. The Zhou family knows about our family affairs and they don't hide anything. Besides, my Xinting is getting better and better. If you say who is not worthy of you, I actually think he is the one who is not worthy of you. If he fails the exam this time, I will not be willing." Xu Qingmeng touched her head.
Xin Ting listened to Xu Qingmeng's affirmation and said firmly: "Aunt, I like Mr. Zhou, but I don't want to leave you, aunt."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou is also going to the city with us, and Aunt Zhou said that she wants to buy a yard next to ours."
"Really?"
"Um."
Xinting suddenly felt that this was great!
"Okay, go to sleep. I'm going to sleep too."
"good."
At this time, Zhou Yuanjia couldn't sleep at home. He was afraid that Xinting didn't believe him. Knowing this, he brought the matter to the government office. Otherwise, if rumors spread, he would really cry to death.
Lying in bed, tossing and turning.
Xu Qingmeng returned to the house and told Gu Yunyi.
"Based on my previous understanding of him, this matter would not have turned out like this. He would probably have brought that cousin back home. After what happened today, he is still a clear-headed person. He is not reckless and is responsible. It is worth it for me to be friends with him."
"Well, considering that he didn't abandon us at the critical moment of life and death, this person can't be bad. I thought that from what you said, he was a playful person, but now it seems that there is no need to worry."
"Well, go to sleep."
Finally, Gu Yunyi added, "The gentleman said earlier that he would be back in August, but now it's almost October and he hasn't come back yet. I don't know where he went."
"You said before that Mr. Shen is good at mountains and rivers. He has students all over the world. Maybe he was delayed by something. Don't worry, just wait a little longer."
"You are in much better health now, so make the most of your time to visit friends and stuff. We don't know if we will be back for the New Year after we leave this time."
The next day, Aunt Zhou came to the house. She first sounded out He's attitude, and when she saw she nodded, she immediately smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.
"Okay, then I'll bring that silly boy back to propose marriage?" Aunt Zhou said cheerfully.
“Isn’t it too fast?”
"No, no, don't hurry up and decide. What should I do if such a good girl is already engaged?"
He looked at Aunt Zhou and said, "Although Xinting is my daughter-in-law's niece, I also treat her as my own family, so the three matchmakers, six engagements, three letters and six gifts are indispensable, right?"
"Do you even need to tell me that?"
Although both parties agreed, Zhou Yuanjia still planned to talk to Xinting first, after all, it was a big matter for both of them.
The two of them talked for a while in the yard. I didn't know what they talked about, but I could tell what they talked about by looking at the smile on Zhou Yuanjia's face.
Zhou Yuanjia talked to Xinting and took Aunt Zhou back home without staying long.
The next morning, Zhou's mother and Zhou Yuanjia arrived. He knew that the Zhou family would come today, so the restaurant was not open today.
Early in the morning, as soon as He opened the door, she saw Zhou's mother and Zhou Yuanjia coming.
"Sister Zhou, come in quickly, come in quickly."
"Don't worry, wait a little longer."
Wait a little longer?
Anyone else?
Before He could react, Huang Boyang, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, came over with his men.
He smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I have found the person for you. You must not let me down."
The woman next to Huang Boyang was not tall and was plump. She squinted when she smiled, and there were many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was wearing a flowered gown. He looked very familiar.
This is a famous matchmaker in Yan County.
She started matchmaking when she was young, and all the couples she helped with were harmonious. But now that she is older, she seldom acts as a matchmaker anymore.
He obviously didn't expect that Mother Wang would come in person to propose marriage.
"I was wondering why the magpie started calling so early in the morning. Turns out there's some big happy event going on!" Mother Wang came up and said this, and instantly everyone around who was watching the fun burst into laughter.
However, there is also a lot of discussion. Mother Wang is now matchmaking unintentionally. It seems that the Zhou family is very satisfied with Madam Gu's niece!
