Allure of a Country Maiden

"Miss Zhu, you're welcome. I didn't do anything. Even if Miss Zhu doesn't tell me the truth, the court will find out the truth and won't let you be wronged. Instead, I want to thank Miss Zhu for the evidence, otherwise this matter wouldn't have happened." Find out so quickly!”

"No matter what, our Zhu family will never forget the great kindness of Lord Ruian County." Zhu Yan naturally couldn't take it seriously after hearing this. If he reported it directly to the official, his family might die faster.

Just like no one would have thought that Mr. Gao would be General Li's man.

The general magistrate is in charge of grain transportation, farmland, water conservancy, litigation and other matters, and has the responsibility to supervise the governor of the state. If their family directly redresses their grievances to the magistrate, this matter will never be hidden from Lord Gao.

So she couldn't believe any official in this state capital.

If Marquis Shengping and his family had not returned to their hometown to celebrate his birthday, she would have been prepared to go to the imperial capital to file a petition.

"Miss Zhu is serious. This is just a matter of words on my part, not even a simple effort." Xiaoer said frankly.

Zhu Yan smiled and was able to save her family with just a few words. This shows that County Master Rui'an is more capable! When a person in power does things, he can get a lot of people to help him just by talking. Is it necessary to do everything himself?

It's just that she didn't say much. It's right to keep gratitude in your heart and put it into action, not just talk.

Talking about a flower is not as good as actually doing something to repay kindness.

At this time, the food was served, and the two of them stopped talking.

After the dishes were served, Xiaoer invited Zhu Yan to eat, and then explained her purpose of visit: "Yesterday, my mother invited my aunt to your house to marry my eldest brother. Miss Zhu must have heard about it."

Zhu Yan was engrossed in eating a piece of chicken. She was startled when she heard this. The piece of chicken got stuck in her throat and couldn't move up or down.

Although she guessed County Lord Rui'an's intention of asking her to meet, she never expected that County Lord Rui'an would be so direct!

Isn't this kind of thing always said in a very subtle way? Especially in front of the person involved.

Zhu Yan took a sip of water, swallowed the chicken, then blushed and nodded: "I heard my mother mentioned it."

She blushed, not because of the problem of County Lord Rui'an, but because of her own gaffe, which was so surprising!

Jingrui, who was drinking tea silently in the cubicle, was so frightened when he heard Xiaoer asking such a straightforward question that he almost spit out his tea. Fortunately, he held it back.

"I wonder what Miss Zhu thinks of my eldest brother?" Xiaoer dropped another bombshell.

Jingrui's hands shook, and the tea in the cup spilled out, making his clothes wet.

Jingrui looked at the wet clothes and smiled bitterly: Fortunately, he didn't knock over the cup, otherwise it would have stunk a lot!

He should just sit obediently!

My sister's question was too scary. Even a grown man would be embarrassed to answer it!

But he couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen to what was going on outside.

With the first question as a foreshadowing, Zhu Yan was already prepared for Xiaoer to keep swearing without making any surprises.

So when she heard Xiaoer's straightforward question again, she felt much calmer.

But how should she answer this question?

Mr. Shen, Zhilan Yushu, is gentle, elegant, and stunningly talented?

Is Mr. Shen the one good man in a million?

This answer is a bit too official.

Zhu Yan thought for a while and then whispered: "Young Master Shen is quite good."

The corners of Jingrui's mouth raised slightly.

After hearing this, Xiaoer asked: "Oh? Where is the best place?"

Jingrui couldn't help but cover his face, saying that he couldn't eavesdrop any longer!

My sister is so direct, Miss Zhu must be blushing with embarrassment!

Where is better? Zhu Yan was stunned after hearing this.

Regardless of her family background, appearance, talents and education, everything is really good for her if the Shengping Hou Mansion likes her as the daughter of a merchant.

Zhu Yan is not a girl raised in a boudoir, she is also someone who often goes out to visit shops and discuss business.

Although Xiaoer's question was too explicit, it didn't make her shy about answering.

"Everywhere is good." Zhu Yan said sincerely.

After hearing this, Jingrui felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

"Miss Zhu and my eldest brother have only met twice, how can you think that he is good in everything? In fact, my eldest brother is quite old-fashioned sometimes!" Xiaoer added silently as she glanced at the cubicle intentionally or unintentionally.

The old-fashioned Jingrui has the urge to go crazy. Is this her biological sister? Isn’t this my biological sister? How can any sister tear down her elder brother's stage like this?

"Because I've only met him twice, I don't know what's wrong with him, so I think everything about him is pretty good."

Xiaoer: "..."

Well, Xiaoer found herself speechless!

"Then Miss Zhu is happy with this marriage?"

She had thought about this last night. To her, Shen Jingrui was top-notch regardless of his family background, talent, education, or appearance. She couldn't think of anything she wouldn't be happy with.

For her, this was a good marriage that could not be found even with a lantern.

Zhu Yan was also a thick-skinned person, but she was not thick enough to say the word "happy", so she nodded and said "hmm" softly.

"That's great. Tomorrow happens to be a good day. I'll ask my mother to invite a matchmaker to come to our house. Let's exchange wedding invitations!"

Zhu Yan was a little surprised, so impatient?

Seeing her expression full of surprise, Xiaoer explained: "My father has official duties. He has been on leave for a month before and after the year before and after. He must rush back to the imperial capital as soon as possible. I hope Miss Zhu doesn't mind. The marriage can be decided as soon as possible. , but the wedding date is not urgent."

Zhu Yan realized that she had lost her composure again. There were so many shocking things that she couldn't bear it anymore.

"To be honest, my father's health is deteriorating, and I'm afraid he won't last long. If my father... I have to observe mourning for three years. My family's situation is somewhat special, and I can't live without me for a day. I want to wait until my eldest brother marries a wife. Get married." Zhu Yan said with some embarrassment.

I just don’t know if Shengping Hou Mansion is willing to wait for three years.

"The wedding date should be discussed by the elders in the family. This matter is not urgent. Miss Zhu is a blessing at first sight. Your father will definitely get better. Eat quickly! The food is already cold." Xiaoer comforted her.

Zhu Yan nodded.

Then the two of them talked about other topics, and the meal was quickly finished.

After dinner, Zhu Yan took the lead to leave. If she didn't leave, the people in the cubicle would probably be hungry.

After Zhu Yan left, Xiaoer let Jingrui come out.

"How about it, big brother, do you know what you want to know? Well, I actually wanted to ask you if you like my big brother? But I was worried that I would scare Miss Zhu away, so I didn't dare to ask. What big brother actually wants to know the most is That’s the question!”

Jingrui couldn't help but glare at Xiaoer: "What's the difference if you asked this question or not!"
