In the lobby, there stood a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, slender and long, wearing a smoky gray robe, with a handsome face.

Zhou Jingcheng's handsomeness is different from Gu Tingzhi's beauty full of male hormones, he is very weak, a face, white and pure, not even a beard has been born, and his delicate face is like a little girl, which can be described by two words: beautiful.

Who is Zhou Jingcheng?

It's the lover of the original owner's childhood sweetheart.。

Zhou's old shopkeeper of Zhou's Pharmacy is a good friend of Qiao Wan's grandfather Qiao Qinghe, and Zhou Jingcheng is the old son of Zhou Lao's shopkeeper.

Zhou Qiao's family has a good relationship, Qiao Wan and Zhou Jingcheng have been playing together since childhood.

It stands to reason that Qiao Wan should call Zhou Jingcheng a second uncle, but Xiao Qiaowan feels that she is only one year younger than Zhou Jingcheng, so she doesn't want to call her uncle, and she always calls him by his name.

Old Zhou also liked Qiao Wan, so he smiled and said, "Wan'er, when you grow up, will you be Jing Cheng's daughter-in-law?" ”

Qiao Wan had a lively personality and agreed crisply: "Okay! When I grow up, I will be Zhou Jingcheng's daughter-in-law! ”

Although this is a joke when they were young, the two children have played together since childhood, grown up together, and slowly, they also have feelings.

Zhou Jingcheng treats Qiao Wan very well, what is delicious and fun, the first thing that comes to mind is Qiao Wan.

Knowing that Qiao Wan likes to eat steamed fish cakes from Jiulihe, in winter, she will also run to the dock, queue up to buy them, hold them in her arms, and deliver them hot to Qiao Wan's hands.

When Qiao Qinghe and Zhou Lao Shopkeeper were alive, they saw that the two children were so good, and they also had the intention to form a family.

Although Qiao Wan and Zhou Jingcheng are different in generation, the Qiao family and the Zhou family are not related by blood, they are both friends, and it is not a big deal.

The most important thing is that the two sides are comparable, they are both merchants, and they both know each other well.

However, before the marriage was decided, Qiao Qinghe, the old shopkeeper, passed away one after another.

waited until Qiao Wan was fifteen years old, and after the end of the day, she and Zhou Jingcheng were still playing together every day, and the relationship between the two children was getting better and better.

Qiao Churou thought, why should the Zhou family come to the door to propose, right?

But after waiting and waiting, there was no movement on the Zhou family's side.

Seeing that Qiao Wan was about to be sixteen years old, Qiao Churou couldn't sit still, and the main thing was that Zhou Jingcheng was admitted to Xiucai, and he had a reputation and a bright future. Which mother doesn't want her daughter to find a good husband?

So, Qiao Churou went to find Mrs. Zhou.

When Mrs. Zhou saw Qiao Churou, she screamed at her niece one by one, and said a lot of words, saying that the Qiao family is now in decline, not as good as before, and the Zhou family cannot be compared, their family Zhou Jingcheng has a meritorious reputation, and in the future, he will be a senior official, and the boy is not in a hurry to marry a wife, and he dislikes Qiao Wan standing behind the counter to solicit guests, which is not solemn.

Qiao Churou is not stupid, she understands that Mrs. Zhou doesn't want Qiao Wan to enter the door as a daughter-in-law, the Qiao family has declined, and now she is no longer worthy of the Zhou family.

Qiao Churou is a strong person, and since then, as soon as Zhou Jingcheng came, he sent him away, and Qiao Wan was not allowed to play with him anymore, and told Qiao Wan about her going to the Zhou family.

"It's not called a business, no matter how well Zhou Jing treats you, you know how filial his child is, it's impossible for him not to listen to his mother, even if you enter the Zhou family, you won't have a good life."
