The day after returning from Xihou Village, Pei Shan went to Xiajia Village.
This time Wang Xiu did not accompany him, but went through old things in the Lu family's house.
But just as Pei Shan couldn't leave, Magistrate Lou's wife Zhang came to propose marriage.
When Wang Xiu heard the news, he looked at Manager Qin in surprise: "To whom are you proposing marriage?"
Manager Qin glanced at the two girls beside Wang Xiu, coughed slightly and said, "It's for Miss Rongrong."
Rongrong pointed at herself in surprise: "Me?"
Wang Xiu was also very surprised and asked: "Who did she come to propose marriage to?"
Mr. Qin said: "Madam also knows Huang Captou."
"Huang Zizhuo, isn't he married yet?" Wang Xiu remembered that it was Huang Chaotou who Zhou Xu drove for her in the past, and he had some contacts with the Lu family.
But why did he think of marrying Rongrong? The two maids around her had already said that they would not interfere in their marriage. Even the deed of sale was given to them.
"Let's invite Mrs. Lou in first."
Wang Xiu said, after Manager Qin left, she looked at the confused Rongrong and said, "Don't worry, I won't marry you casually."
Rongrong's face turned red, and she neither said yes nor refused. However, her lips pursed, and it seemed that there was something going on inside.
Seeing this, Nan Nan stepped forward and said: "It's rare that Huang Zizhao is so thoughtful. He knows that we won't be staying in Wuxi for a long time, so he hurriedly invited the county magistrate's wife to come and propose marriage. I've done enough to save my face, why don't you take a look at it for Rongrong, Madam?"
?”
Wang Xiu glanced at the shy Rongrong, what else didn't he understand?
But she was shocked and thought: Damn it, when did you two look at each other?
Then when she took Rongrong back to Beijing, wouldn't it be delayed for several years???
Wang Xiu looked at Rongrong with suspicious eyes and suddenly looked away at Rongrong.
Wang Xiu: “…”??
She asked Nan Nan, "Do you know?"
Nannan glanced at Rongrong's leaving figure, shook her head, and then said: "I know that when we were in the capital, Rongrong's brother and sister-in-law also looked at her several times, but she didn't agree. I don't know if it was because of her.
There are letters exchanged between Huang Zizhuo and the news from Wuxi is always between her and Manager Qin."
Wang Xiu said speechlessly: "You are her best friend, don't you know?"
Nan Nan blushed and retorted: "Then Madam is still her master. Why doesn't Madam know?"
Wang Xiu: "I'm blind when I open my eyes."
"Pfft." Nan Nan laughed and continued: "Madam, let's go and have a look, maybe it's really a good match."
Wang Xiu thought that this maid would have no choice but to stay in Wuxi. She also said that she would give Rongrong a housekeeper in the future.
…
In the evening, when Pei Shan came back, Rongrong's marriage had been agreed upon.
It turned out that she had been exchanging letters with Huang Zizhao since she returned to the capital. This time Rongrong followed Wang Xiu back, and Huang Zizhao knew that they would not be able to stay for long, so he couldn't wait to beg the county magistrate's wife to help him propose marriage.
Fortunately, although Wang Xiu was the master, she still followed her own opinions on Rongrong's marriage, so the matter was settled quickly.
Huang Zizhuo is willing to resign as a police officer and follow them, and will stay in the Lu family as a bodyguard in the future. He has no relatives in the local area. His old father died of drunkenness and he has a second uncle who is not close to him.
His mother died young and his sister married far away. He could stay in Wuxi or go to the capital. At Rongrong's request, he was willing to follow Rongrong back to Beijing, which is why the marriage was successfully negotiated.
Because Rongrong was busy preparing for her marriage, Wang Xiu couldn't help but set his sights on Nannan.
When Nan Nan made her bed at night, Wang Xiu asked, "I didn't delay your marriage, did I?"
Nan Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly asked: "What did Madam say?"
Wang Xiudao: "I'm not a female Zhuge, and I don't know everything. If you have a sweetheart like Rongrong, you'd better tell me earlier."
Nan Nan blushed, but refused to say anything clearly and left quickly.
Wang Xiu was still thinking, it seemed that he also had a sweetheart, who was it?
So when Pei Shan came to say hello, she stared at him for a few times, making him look confused.
Pei Shan thought that his wife had found out that he had added a follower, so he quickly confessed: "I just want to take Ji Xiang to meet my grandfather, there is no other intention."
Wang Xiu was confused: "Who is Ji Xiang?"
Pei Shan was surprised and said: "Isn't it because of good luck that Master's Wife looks at me?"
Wang Xiu still looked confused: "How do I know who Jixiang is?"
Pei Shan smiled bitterly and quickly explained: "Jixiang is my uncle's son and my cousin."
Wang Xiu said "Oh" and asked seriously: "The person Nan Nan likes is not you, right?"
"Pah!" Nan Nan, who had brought the tea, was so frightened that she threw away the saucer. She quickly ran to Wang Xiu and explained: "Madam, please don't make random guesses? Young Master Pei is of noble character and is already in the fourth grade.
Now that you are a high official, how can I dare to think so?"
"The person I like is the money manager."
"Qian Liangcai."
Wang Xiu said "Ah", more surprised than she had guessed that Nan Nan liked Pei Shan. She was so frightened that she leaned to the side and almost fell down.
It was Pei Shan who quickly supported her and explained with a smile: "Everyone in the house knows about this, but doesn't the master lady know?"
Wang Xiu looked at them like monsters...
Nan Nan and Pei Shan looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and neither of them spoke.
Wang Xiu stood up straight, rubbed his brows helplessly, and asked the two of them: "What do I usually do at home?"
While cleaning the debris on the ground, Nan Nan whispered: "We originally wanted to find a chance to report back to Madam, but there was a war in Taizhou, so we thought we would wait."
"Don't mind, Madam, we didn't hide it on purpose. As for Young Master Pei, Madam, please go and don't misunderstand me again."
Wang Xiu said: "I don't think I misunderstood. Pei Shan is so nice. There are many little girls in the house who like him."
Wang Xiudao: "I didn't notice any of you falling in love under my eyes. I couldn't even tell that you didn't fall in love under my eyes."
"So if you have a sweetheart in the future, you'd better tell me as soon as possible. Really, it shocked me."
Nan Nan answered with a blushing face and quickly withdrew.
Pei Shan whispered: "Since it is not because of auspicious things, then I will go back first."
Wang Xiu stopped him quickly and told him his plan: "I don't need anyone around me. You can take Rongrong's fiancé, Huang Zizhuo, with you, and let him be your personal bodyguard from now on."
Pei Shan nodded and had no objection to this arrangement.
So they stayed in Wuxi for another two days, waiting for Huang Zizuo to finish handling the Wuxi Yamen's errands, and then set off again to Taizhou, Zhejiang.
At the same time, Lu Yunhong was furious with the waiting, his intestines were almost knotted with worry, and he was so anxious that he was about to smoke.
