Zhu Yan gulped down the tea, lest he be choked to death by the loose powdered horseshoe cake, and the fragrance of the aged Peilan came out of the slightly cool water, as if it was going to sink into the internal organs.

Slowly exhaling, Zhu Yan's mood finally relaxed a little, and he reached out and gently stroked the fluff on the kitten's head.

There seemed to be a sound of carriages and horses outside the courtyard, Zhu Yan squinted his eyes and looked at the gate covered by grass and trees, and a familiar figure flashed in - it was Mei Niang!

With a pout, "Mother, Yanzi went to the bamboo garden in the back to read a medical book." ”

Mei Niang's eyes were sharp, and when she saw that she was leaving, she hurriedly took three steps and made two steps to catch up, and smiled at her face, "Miss Zhu, don't go, happy events are coming!" ”

Zhu Yan frowned slightly, and then smiled smartly, "Happy event, Aunt Mei just keeps it for herself, Zhu Yan's life is shallow and blessed, and she can't afford it." ”

"Miss Zhu!" Outside the door was a man's voice, Zhu Yan had obviously heard it, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while......

Xu Suzhen heard that the person who came was Zhou Yi, the young master of the Zhou family, and she didn't know what he was coming for today, so she couldn't help but look slightly cold. It stands to reason that the Zhou family's money has been returned in full, and their mother and daughter also have some silver in their hands, so they don't have to be afraid of the Zhou family anymore, but after all, the Zhou family is a well-known local family, and they still can't afford to offend.

As soon as the shadow of the tree moved, a dark blue brocade robe came into view, and then a fairly handsome face, with a little flattering smile, hurriedly came, and there was no longer the slightest appearance of flying and domineering on the day of Qingming.

Zhu Yan blinked, couldn't help but be stunned, looked at his embroidered shoes with closed eyes, and didn't make a sound.

Zhou saw her frowning and making a gesture of a little daughter, and couldn't help but look carefully at her sideburns that slid slightly on the corners of her forehead, and the black hair crossed her smooth forehead, giving people a neat beauty.

As the saying goes, "beautiful and delicious", Zhou Yi was reluctant to come, but when he saw her beautiful appearance and good mood, he straightened his clothes and was deeply moved, "I was so offended to the girl before, and Mei Niang even misunderstood her mother's original intention, and actually took back the things hired by the old lady and aunt, which was really too reckless." ”

When Mei Niang saw the mention of her, she wrinkled her brows and saluted Zhu Yan in a low voice, burying her head very low, and Zhu Yan could see that there were a total of three silver hairpins inserted in her smooth and delicate bun. Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows and threw a cold glance at her, he was really a person who was good at greeting, when he came to ask for the ring and the wooden bracelet before, he was both soft and hard.

Xu Suzhen didn't answer, but her eyes passed through the grass and trees in the courtyard, and landed on the black stone paved path, through the dense and verdant garden trees, you could faintly see the gorgeous roof of a carriage. It seems that the determination of the Zhou family is very great, and even Mrs. Zhou, who is famous for being mean in the township, came in person, and seeing that these two people came to apologize, could it be to get engaged again?

"Miss Zhu, the previous things were all misunderstandings. The old lady thanked you for saving her life, and her original intention was to let the girl marry into the Zhou family. Seeing that Zhu Yan didn't speak, Mei Niang hurriedly persuaded her.

"It's not a lifesaver." Zhu Yan pursed her lips and sneered, she rescued her that day, but it was a momentary itch, if she wanted to be more noble, it could be said to save the life and help the wounded, but it was not to get the old woman's gratitude and thanks. What's more, this thank you gift of "letting the girl marry into the Zhou family" is really too heavy, she is shallow and blessed, and she really can't afford it!

Zhou Jian looked cold on her face, her face was full of disdain, and she was displeased, but she remembered her mother's thousands of instructions, so she had to suppress her anger and swallow her anger, "Miss Zhu, you ......"

"Young Master Zhou, Zhu Yan has already said that saving the old lady is just a coincidence. If Lingtang thinks that marrying is related to repaying gratitude, Zhu Yan thinks it's not necessary, please go back. ”

Zhu Yan was quite angry with her uncle just now, she didn't have a good mood, and when she saw Zhou Yi who made her very disgusted, her whole person was disgusted, where could she still talk well.

Zhou Yi was so angry with her attitude that her eyebrows jumped suddenly. scolded in his heart, isn't she just an old woman who can't get married, at such an age, and an unmarried husband who died, if it weren't for his mother's bad behavior and asking him to pull down his face and beg Zhu Yan to change his mind, he would really not be uncommon! Zhu Yan is beautiful, but he is not a good person, how can he lower his identity because of his beauty? What a joke!

Suddenly, his elbow was touched, and he lowered his head to Mei Niang's meaningful eyes.

Zhou Yi pursed his lips and swallowed back the evil words that he almost spoke. I was still unconvinced, if it weren't for the fact that my mother heard that Zhu Yan, a girl, didn't know what strange method she used to cure the illness of the little child in the Bian family, and was invited by the Bian Mansion to treat their young lady early this morning, why would he suffer such humiliation?

However, the marriage between the government and the Yuan family in Beijing, although he was just a businessman, the power in his hands was really not small. Now Zhu Yan can be regarded as a great favor to the Bian family, if they take advantage of the fact that the previous agreement has not been officially canceled, and rush to marry Zhu Yan into the door, it will be a strong friendship with Bian Fu. As for the "Kefu Kefu" statement...... It's just a conversation among rural people after dinner, and when she marries into the Zhou family, the one who doesn't want to die still dares to mention it?

Mrs. Zhou's abacus was good, but unfortunately they didn't hear that Yuan Xuanqing had also arrived in Bailang Town, let alone that the person who personally sent Zhu Yan home in a small car was actually this Yuan Gongzi who rarely appeared at banquets in the capital.

"Miss Zhu, it's too late for the young master to see that you like it, let Mei Niang tell your mother about the rest, right?" Mei Niang was afraid that Zhou Yi would not be angry for a while, but she would make this matter worse, "Or, you two will talk to the back?" ”

Zhu Yan didn't care when she heard it at first, but after she finished speaking, she raised two eyebrows, looked at Mei Niang coldly and smiled, "But, Zhu Yan is already strange, how can he make up the token to come in person, but now I know that I just came to talk to Zhu Yan...... It's just that although Zhu Yan is a person who has died of her husband, she also knows shame, how can she be entangled with others again? ”

She deliberately bit the words "dead husband" very hard, and her voice was resentful, so that everyone present couldn't help but shrink. Only Xu Suzhen listened indifferently, but smiled with relief, and sighed in her heart, this child is finally sensible, quite a bit of the mother's demeanor back then.

Taking advantage of their stunned moments, Zhu Yan reached out and lifted the kitten who was stealing cheese, grabbed it into his arms, and went to the bamboo garden.

When I entered the place where the bamboo shadow was swaying, I saw a person standing outside the house, who seemed to be Dou Sui who had just come to seek medical treatment.

"Miss Zhu, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Dou Sui turned around when he heard the voice and bowed politely to her.

Zhu Yan's heart twitched, and he habitually spoke, "Could it be that Lang's illness has changed?!" ”

The shock of the voice frightened the cat in her arms, and her head was lowered in the crook of her arm, and she didn't dare to move.
