At the door of the Ning family ancestral hall, Chen Xiuyan saw Ning Youjin, whom she had met once at the Jinxiu Restaurant that day. He was accompanied by a young man in green and brocade clothes, and two boys behind him.

Suddenly Ning stood a step forward, slightly blocking Chen Xiuyan, and whispered, "Xiuyan, let's go home quickly."

"Chen Xiuyan." The young man in green and brocade clothes suddenly walked towards Chen Xiuyan and the others with a happy expression, "It's really you. Why are you in Ningxing Village? Did you know that I am coming today?"

"Who are you?" There is no trace of this person in Chen Xiuyan's memory.

"I am Liu Zongbao." The young man shook off his folding fan and waved it in a charming manner, "You sent Cao'er and Man'er to Liu's house because of me. My mother said she came to your house to propose marriage. You

Why didn't you agree? Do you think I'm being sincere for not going there in person? Then I'll go there in person."

"Young Master Liu, please don't talk nonsense. My sister-in-law is engaged and will be getting married in a few days?" Ning frowned and looked at Liu Zongbao with an unkind expression.

"What!" The folding fan in Liu Zongbao's hand fell to the ground, "Isn't it me you like? How can you marry someone else?"

The more Liu Zongbao spoke, the less handsome Ning Youjin's face became. Chen Xiuyan, on the other hand, was not annoyed and watched Liu Zongbao's performance as if he were watching a play.

"Mr. Liu San." Ning raised her voice unconsciously. She didn't expect Liu Zongbao to be so generous, and she suddenly regretted letting Chen Muzhu and the others go first.

Chen Xiuyan suddenly felt a little strange, why the Liu family seemed to recognize her. Thinking of the content in the book, Liu Zongbao still talked sweetly and treated each other tenderly before entering Liu's house, but since she became Liu Zongbao's concubine, she was suddenly ignored.

, all depends on fighting for favor.

"Young Master Liu seems to be very confident. If I remember correctly, this is the first time we have met." Chen Xiuyan asked with a smile, "I asked myself, I have never done anything beyond my bounds. How could I let Young Master Liu have such an illusion?"

"If the slave is bullying the master, then Liu Zhai is really good at disciplining the servants..." Chen Xiuyan's words were unclear, but everyone could understand the meaning.

"Oh, more than that." Chen Xiuyan looked past Liu Zongbao and glanced back at Ning Youjin, "Say this in front of your future brother-in-law, where does Young Master Liu put his own sister? He also wants to make his wife unmarried and serve as a concubine.

Will the whole room be collected first?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Zongbao's expression suddenly turned ferocious, "You are worthy of comparing with my sister."

"Liu San." Ning Youjin spoke out, and Liu Zongbao instantly changed his expression, walked back with a smile, and followed Ning Youjin obediently.

After walking a few steps, Ning Youjin suddenly turned around, looked directly at Chen Xiuyan and said, "Miss Chen has a sharp tongue and a sharp tongue, and she can confuse right and wrong. It turned out to be true when I saw her today. I just hope that after getting married, she can settle down for a while and change her temperament."

"Ning Xiucai lives by the sea and is very lenient. My future husband-in-law doesn't even think about me changing my ways. Who are you?" Chen Xiuyan replied calmly, "Oh, it's true that one family doesn't want to enter the same house. Ning

The temperaments of the scholar and the Liu family are quite compatible."

"It's unreasonable." Ning Youjin's face darkened, he tossed his sleeves and walked away.

Liu Zongbao smiled brightly, winking at Chen Xiuyan and giving a thumbs up.

"Have Xiuyan met Ning Xiucai?"

"No ah."

Ning was in a daze. It was the first time she had seen Ning Youjin speak so rudely to outsiders. It was very different from his usual polite and gentlemanly demeanor, which was strange.

"They are insignificant people anyway." Chen Xiuyan didn't care about outsiders.

When Ning Family School, Ning Youjin and Liu Zongbao arrived, Liu Qingxiu and the little maid were already there.

"Qingxiu." Liu Zongbao waved his hand and stepped forward happily.

"Third brother." Liu Qingxiu saluted gracefully, "Mr. Ning."

"You are already engaged, why are you still calling me Mr. Ning? Qingxiu, you are too polite." Liu Zongbao shook his head and said helplessly.

"Please, Mr. Ning, please take your daughter to the library today."

"Miss Liu Wu is so polite."

After Ning Youjin helped open the door to the library, he went to do his own thing, leaving only the Liu family brothers and sisters, the maid, and the young man.

"Third brother, don't be so casual in front of Youjin in the future. He can't be more polite." Liu Qingxiu warned Liu Zongbao.

"I know, I know." Liu Zongbao disagreed, "By the way, I just met Chen Xiuyan on the way here, and she seems to look better."

"What's You Jin's expression on?" Liu Qingxiu thought and asked impatiently.

"I see that Youjin hates Chen Xiuyan very much." Liu Zongbao told everything about the incident and the conversation, "Qingxiu, do you care too much about Chen Xiuyan? If you want to know, I will not marry Wang Yayu, but marry her."

"She is worthy." Liu Qingxiu tightened her hand, "Third brother, the Wang family's help is indispensable, don't be confused."

"knew."

"Then Chen Xiuyan is already engaged and is about to get married. Don't mess with her again." Liu Qingxiu said. She remembered that Luo Wenqian drowned. Before Qiu Wei, she couldn't remember the specific day, although the things were somewhat similar to those in the dream.

The discrepancy is probably due to my own changes, but fortunately the general direction has not been affected.

No matter if she marries Luo Wenqian, she will be a widow soon, so let her be proud for a few more days.

"Xiuyan, I'm sorry." Ning apologized sincerely to Chen Xiuyan, "I really didn't expect Liu Zongbao to be like that."

"Sister-in-law, there's no need to mention the past." Chen Xiuyan said nonchalantly. She didn't care about Ning, so she felt it was insignificant. The way Ning stood in front of her just now made her let go of her grudge.

Wang's house, as soon as Wang Dianli arrived home, he was dragged by Mrs. Wang to Mrs. Wang's yard.

"Mom, you look better and better." Wang Dianli was very happy to see that his old mother was in good health.

"What do you think of Yayu's marriage?" Mrs. Wang asked straight to the point, "I heard that the Liu family is not a friendly family. I'm afraid that Yayu will be wronged if she marries into such a family."

"Mom, that member Liu has a false reputation and is actually a merchant. How dare they offend Yayu." Wang Dianli said disapprovingly, "I heard about the incident before, and Liu Zongbao never favored that Tongfang. I want to wait.

Yayu will clean up before marrying her."

"The Liu family and the Ning family are related by marriage. The Ning family personally stepped in to secure the matchmaker, and Yayu's child also likes Zongbao," Wang Dianli said.

"Hey, I'm afraid that Yayu will be wronged." Mrs. Wang is very fond of her granddaughter, "You'd better inquire more clearly."

"I know, mother."

It was already dark when Chen Xiuyan and her party arrived home from Ningxing Village, but the darkness could not stop her smiles. After it was confirmed that Chen Linyun could study in the Ning family, the Chen family was very excited.

But as the day approached, the whole family's attention was still focused on Chen Xiuyan, trying on wedding clothes and dressing up for the dowry. Chen Dazhong and Mrs. Liu loved their daughter. Except for food, all the betrothal gifts sent by the Luo family were given to Chen Xiuyan.

In addition to the dowry prepared by her family, Chen Xiuyan's dowry amounted to twenty dan, which was no worse than that of the ladies in the county.
