The young man in front of him is really Yao Baizhi. Although he looks younger than the picture, he is at most fifteen years old and no more.
She has a baby face and cheeks that are fleshy, like breast dumplings. Her facial features are exquisite, her eyebrows are soft, and her mouth has a slight smile, which makes people feel like spring breeze at first glance.
Of course, since there was no strange look in his dark pupils, maybe Wang Xiu would feel good about him.
Unfortunately……
"Miss, your sweet potatoes are wrapped, don't you want them?"
When Yao Baizhi saw the boss wrapping the sweet potatoes in oil paper and handing them over, but Wang Xiu was still looking at him, he couldn't help but say this.
No one noticed that when he said this, his voice was trembling and he was cautiously testing.
But Wang Xiu thought he was shy, took it over, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "What's your name, Miss? I'm your senior aunt!"
Suddenly, Yao Baizhi was stunned, the light in his eyes suddenly extinguished, leaving him standing stiffly.
"Sister-in-law?"
He murmured, with a wry smile on his lips.
Zhang Jiaxu in front stopped and turned around to look.
The woman who was talking to Yao Baizhi was seen wearing a bun, but her hair was actually pulled up. At first glance, she looked like an unmarried girl, but upon closer inspection, she knew she was not.
She was wearing a beaded flower made of pearls, and a gold walking stick was stuck on the side of her temple. She didn't have much headwear, her earrings were pearl pendants, and she was wearing a hanging pearl necklace. It must have been a set of hair.
Simple and elegant, although not gorgeous, it is eye-catching.
Dressed in neon clothes, light green with apricot lace, simple and elegant but also exquisite, the style is the most fashionable in the capital now.
Taking a closer look at his appearance, he is beautiful and charming, with a good complexion. His eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Wang Siye.
Zhang Jiaxu asked: "Is it Grandma Lu?"
Wang Xiu nodded and said, "I guess you still have some sharp eyesight."
After saying that, he took some scraps of silver and gave them to the boss.
The boss couldn't even find it, it was just a few copper coins worth of sweet potatoes.
Wang Xiu said: "There is no need to look for it. I, my nephew, will also pay for it."
"How can that be done? I'd better ask my aunt." Yao Baizhi's hand shaking when he took out the money made a tinkling sound as the copper plate fell to the ground.
Wang Xiu picked up two for him and gave them back to him.
Yao Baizhi stretched out his hand to take it, and Wang Xiu saw that there were fingernail marks on his palms. She raised her head in surprise, and saw Yao Baizhi hanging his head low, but his eyes seemed to be faintly red.
this……
Do you know that you can no longer be your wife?
Wang Xiu thought this Yao Baizhi was too strange, and she said: "I am the elder, I have the final say."
After saying that, he walked towards Lu Yunran with the sweet potato and winked at Lu Yunran mischievously.
Lu Yunran could not stand for a long time, because Zhang Jiaxu not only stopped, but also asked her: "Girl, is the Chen family here?"
Lu Yunran nodded and said: "Yes."
After Zhang Jiaxu learned the answer, he did not leave. Instead, he waited for Wang Xiu and Yao Baishang to come.
He bowed to Wang Xiu and said respectfully: "Grandma Lu, I am in Taizhou, Zhang Jiaxu. Thanks to Wang Siye, I have accepted her and taught her, so that I can serve the imperial court in the future."
Straightforward!!
Wang Xiu suddenly felt that her fifth brother was also very talented in painting.
He really brought out the essence of his two apprentices!!
Wang Xiu nodded and said: "I understand, you go in, we have to stay outside for a while."
Zhang Jiaxu looked at Lu Yunran and then at the sweet potato in Yao Baizhi's hand. He immediately divided half of it and ate it next to Lu Yunran.
Wang Xiu: "..."
Yao Baizhi: "..."
Lu Yunran: "..."!
After a while, strange scenes started.
Zhang Jiaxu: "My surname is Zhang and my given name is Peng. Jiaxu is the name given by my husband. Miss Lu can also call me Zhang San, because I am the third eldest child in the family."
Wang Xiu: "..."
Yao Baizhi: "..."
Lu Yunran: "..."!!
Zhang Jiaxu: "The brothers in the family are very kind-hearted, and the sisters-in-law are also very virtuous, so there is no quarrel, and the family is harmonious. It is a reliable choice. Although I am older, I am considerate in everything I do and will definitely protect you in peace throughout your life."
Wang Xiu: "..."
Yao Baizhi: "..."
Lu Yunran: "..."!!!
Zhang Jiaxu: "If you have any ideas about the betrothal gift, just bring it up. I will try my best to do it. If I can't do it, then I am useless. I will reflect on it and make persistent efforts."
"Sister-in-law." Lu Yunran couldn't stand it anymore. Who are these people?
She said this right from the start... She has never seen this formation before!
Not to mention that Lu Yunran has never seen it, Wang Xiu has never seen it either...
But in modern times, it is still somewhat heard. For example, at the blind date table...
"Ahem."
Wang Xiu coughed and glanced at Yao Baizhi.
Yao Baizhi gnawed the sweet potato, his eyes were red, he raised his head and glanced at Wang Xiu, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
Wang Xiu was anxious and reminded: "Baizhi, shouldn't you say something?"
Yao Baizhi had a grimace on his face, like a deeply frustrated innocent boy, and said sadly: "My surname is Yao, and my name is named after the character Yu. My husband also named me, so he used to call me Yao Baizhi."
"Lu...Miss Lu, I know I'm not worthy, I'm sorry..."
Wang Xiu: “…”??
"Gone??"
Yao Baizhi nodded and continued to eat the sweet potato, as if a tear fell on the sweet potato.
Wang Xiu: "..."
I feel so tired. Not only can this mud not hold up the wall, it can't muddy the water either!
It’s really strange!!
But "Yao Yu"..., this name sounds a bit familiar.
Forget it, think about it later.
Wang Xiu finished eating the sweet potatoes, clapped his hands, turned to look at the serious Zhang Peng and said: "Congratulations, you are a man. It is very rude for a man to say these things in front of a girl who has not yet left the court. In front of my aunt today, then
Forget it, you go in first."
Zhang Jiaxu bowed his hands and said respectfully: "Jiaxu means no offense at all. I just rushed from the capital and traveled all the way to Wuxi and Mudu. I know that there is a big difference between men and women. I am afraid that I cannot say these words to Miss Lu."
"Unexpectedly, I met Miss Lu at the door of Chen's house by a God-given opportunity. I thought that if I didn't tell her, I might regret it for the rest of my life."
After saying that, he bowed to Lu Yunran and then continued: "I'm sorry, Miss Lu. I know I was reckless. I hope you can forgive me and don't argue with a vulgar person like me."
Lu Yunran was slightly moved when he heard that he had come from the capital and then went to Wuxi to make a fortune.
I bowed to him when I saw him again, thinking that although his words were abrupt, they were all true, so I didn't feel any discomfort in my heart.
She said: "Young Master Zhang is so polite, please come in quickly. Marriage matters and matchmaker's advice are naturally decided by the elders."
In other words, she did not refuse outright.
After hearing this, Zhang Jiaxu's face lit up and his eyes lit up.
He raised his head, and for a moment he looked like a child who had gotten candy, and there was no trace of stability at all.
Just listen to him say: "It wasn't Si Ye who came to find me, it was me who came to Si Ye and asked Si Ye to be a matchmaker."
"Young lady may not remember that you came here several times when Lu Zhuangyuan was still in the Imperial College..."
Xu Shi couldn't reveal any more. Lu Yunran was surprised. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Jiaxu walking away in a hurry. Looking at his back, he looked like he was running away.
Wang Xiu saw Lu Yunran's red cheeks and thought that this commendation might be a joke.
"Let's go in, too."
Wang Xiudao said that she couldn't wait to see if Zhang Jiaxu would do something else to win Lu Yunhong's support. After all, it was related to his sister's marriage, and Lu Yunhong also had great decision-making power.
But at this moment, Yao Baizhi suddenly took Wang Xiu's hand and said with disappointment and pain: "You really don't remember me?"
Wang Xiu, who subconsciously pushed away: "..."?!!
