It was getting dark, and Daddy and Wei Ruchang came back from outside. Everyone was eating around the table without saying a word.

Everyone seems to be not so interested in my disappearance these days, maybe it is because it is not the first time I have done this.

Only Jiang Sijin asked me secretly after dinner, "Ru Meng, how are you doing in Gu's house and my future brother-in-law these days?"

I glanced at him, "I will not make any progress with him, and I will not marry him even if I die."

"What's wrong with him? He's pretty good, and his family is also well-off. If you marry him, you can say that you don't have to worry about anything in the future. His grandfather is the prime minister of the dynasty. If he becomes an official in the future, he will not be able to rise to the top!"

I gently knocked on his head, "As you say, Ruruo is not better than that Meimei, but you have to secretly raise Meimei outside. You two, please be careful by yourself. If your father finds out, no one can protect you!"

Jiang Sijin lowered her head, "After studying these days, I found that it was really not easy for my parents to maintain the family business. I was already dizzy just by learning to do basics. They not only know all the procedures well, but also have to manage some shopkeepers, finances, go out to deal with customers, establish relationships, and discover new customers and open up sales. In short, I have a headache just for one of them."

"Yes, parents work so hard, but you only spend money every day with big hands and feet. You never know how to understand your parents' hard work. By the way, you have grown up so much, and sooner or later you have to inherit the family business. Now, you have to work harder day by day."

"What started now, I started several days ago, okay?"

I gave a thumbs up, "No, there's progress."

······

The next day, Ruoru came to me in a hurry. Before I could ask anything, this guy pulled my head, pulled my hands, my back, my legs, and my whole body. Then he patted his chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not short of weight."

I gently scraped the bridge of her nose, "What are you doing? I didn't want to lose weight, why do you have to be short of weight?"

Ruoru said with a serious expression, "I heard that you went to Gu Mansion a few days ago. Gu Nanfeng has seen it before. I am really afraid that you will suffer any losses in Gu Mansion, so I went to find him personally. Unfortunately, the Gu Mansion's sect didn't let me in, otherwise I would go in to find you. Fortunately, he didn't do anything to you."

It seems that in everyone's eyes, Gu Nanfeng is indeed a jackal, tiger and leopard.

In fact, it's almost the same!

I was moved and burst into tears, "My goodness, come and hug me!"

"The mutton skewers last time were delicious, and I suddenly wanted to eat them."

"Then I'll treat you to eat, it's a bit far away. I'll prepare a carriage."

"No, I'm ready for the carriage, right at the door."

I suddenly realized, "So you are prepared."

When I came out of the door, I was about to get on the carriage when I suddenly saw a man in white dress stalking with a folding fan in his hand.

Ruoruo was like a slut, "Ru Meng, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, isn't Liu Changqing? He is here to find you!"

"So what, just embroidered pillows."

"He is not an embroidered pillow. He is full of knowledge. Although he is just a teacher now, he will definitely make a difference in the future."

"You know him. You value him so much. Do you want me to be a matchmaker for you and marry you as a wife?"

"Your joke is not funny at all."

When he was talking, Liu Changqing had already walked over and said, "Ru Meng, I've been waiting for you for a long time and finally saw you come out."

I said, "What are you waiting for me to do?"

Liu Changqing said, "I have something to say to you."

"What are you talking about now."

"It's so inconvenient here. Can you find a quieter place?"

"But I'm not available today, maybe another day."

As I said, I was about to get on the carriage, Ruruo pulled me down, "Or, let's go together. Rumeng and I were going to Lihuayuan, which was quiet. You can have any whispers to say secretly. I won't disturb you. I just need to have mutton skewers."

I called her, "You are thinking of eating secretly by yourself, don't even try to get rid of me."

······

In the Pear Blossom Garden, the pear blossoms have already fallen, and the lush green leaves are hanging on the branches. Ruoruo has been busy with her mutton skewers. Liu Changqing and I walked slowly along the road. Before he walked, I left after he walked, and after he left, I left before he walked. In short, I don’t want to follow along side by side.

Liu Changqing was very depressed, "Ru Meng, why are you so strange today?"

I disdained, "Is there any, I've always been like this."

"I sent you so many hyacinth rafts, and you didn't reply a single one, so I had to go to your house to find you in person. As a result, Mending said that you are in Gu's Mansion. The first thing I thought of was that you must not go to Gu's Mansion voluntarily. Do you know how anxious I am?"

"So, you clearly said you wanted to go to Gu's house to find me, but you didn't. Unexpectedly, Liu Changqing, who seemed honest, would even fool people."

Liu Changqing seemed to have a slight surprise on her face, "So you are angry about this?"

"Is it possible?"

"How did you know I didn't go? When I went, Mending said you were back, so I quickly went to buy your favorite crab roe pastry and wanted to see you, but you said you were tired and didn't want to see me, which made me very disappointed."

In a trance, I really wanted to see the pear blossoms blooming all over the sky again, reflecting Liu Changqing's face, which was very beautiful.

I looked up and looked at him. Why did he become a little better at this moment?

"Do you have classes tomorrow? I'll go to school to listen to your lectures."

Liu Changqing immediately showed a beautiful smile, "I have classes basically every day, and the students seem to like to listen to my lectures. If you come, you will welcome you at any time, but there is one thing I want to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"Ru Meng, I want to go to Beijing for the second time to take the exam."

"Ah, is that fast? How long will it take?"

"It will take about a year to go back and forth, but I will come back as soon as possible after the exam... I will find you."

I blinked and felt the atmosphere was a little subtle.

Why is the air fragrant and sweet?

I said intentionally, "What are you doing with me? Maybe you have won the second place, the emperor has appointed you as an official, and you have given you a marriage, so you shouldn't come back, isn't it all in the play that way? You are so talented, you will definitely win."

Liu Changqing looked at me deeply, as if there were so many words in his eyes, but he didn't know which sentence to say first. Finally, he chose the sentence, "I will definitely come back."

"It's also right. After all, your parents are in Lin'an, so they must go back to their hometown."

"If you are willing to wait for me, if I can really become Shangguan'er, I will definitely come back to marry you."

I was speechless, "How come you ancient people talked about marriage and marriage, so can't you have a good relationship first?"
