Cao Ran forced a smile, arched his head and replied: "Marriage is a matter between two people. I don't force it. If I meet a talented woman and appreciate me, I will naturally not miss it."

“Won’t miss it!”

Ji Zimo repeated his words, turned around and walked out, saying sadly: "Okay, very good."

At the gate of the General's Mansion, Liu Laocao crowded with Geng Zhong and said worriedly: "Do you think Xia Qianqian will agree if Cao Ran commits himself to her?"

"Cough cough cough..." Geng Zhong covered his mouth in fear.

After all, in order to save Cao Ran, he and the adults both did it.

If you want to commit yourself to her, he is the one, but he is a man and he wants to marry a wife and have children.

Geng Zhong took out half of the fried dough stick hidden in his sleeve, took a bite, and said, "She may have agreed."

"How do you say this?"

"I just heard it. Mr. Cao and Miss Xia made an agreement that when Fanshan is pacified, they will settle the matter."

Mr. Liu looked surprised and raised his voice, "Are you talking about marriage?"

Geng Zhong took a bite of the fried dough stick and said slowly: "What else can happen between a man and a woman?"

"Don't you think Miss Xia likes our young master?" Mr. Liu was a little reluctant.

Xia Qianqian married Cao Ran, and there would be less opportunities to meet him in the future. How could she ask for medical advice again?

"Do you like it?"

Geng Zhong is a dull man, "Young Master treats Miss Xia a little differently, but Miss Xia doesn't treat Young Master any differently."

Geng Zhong was a little unconvinced, "Look at that playboy Hu Tang. He stays outside the college gate all day, helping the girl sell fried dough sticks. Miss Xia smiles harder at him than the young man."

"So, our young master has no chance?" Mr. Liu was a little unwilling to give up.

Geng Zhong said dejectedly: "According to the current progress of the young master, I'm afraid there is not much hope..."

He was about to express his feelings when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned around and started to stutter, "Mr...Mr."

Ji Zimo's face darkened, and he stepped forward quickly, "Where is the person?"

Geng Zhong nodded, too frightened to say anything.

Mr. Liu hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Miss Xia said she had something to do and went to the main street for a walk."

"When did you leave?"

"Just left for a while."

Ji Zimo came to the Qingzheng carriage, and when he was about to get on the carriage, he suddenly thought of something, "Do they really have to do something?"

He asked Geng Zhong.

Under the gaze of his master, Geng Zhong raised his head blankly and said firmly: "Yes, I heard it clearly."

Mr. Liu on the side said cautiously: "Master, there are no absolutes. As long as we don't enter the bridal chamber, everything is still unknown."

Ji Zimo stepped up and came down again.

After thinking for a while, he turned around and strode towards the horse under the peach blossom tree, "I'll go find her."

"Sir, let's go. The lotus pond in the east of the city is near. The lotus flowers are about to bloom and the scenery is beautiful. It's a good place to go."

Mr. Liu gave him advice.

Geng Zhong hurriedly spoke to make amends, "Sir, don't be in a hurry to come back tonight, I will send the ingot back to Fu'an Village."

Ji Zimo got on his horse and rode away, raising dust all over the ground.

Mr. Liu and Geng Zhong looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

……

Xia Qianqian walked around the streets for a few times, changed into the clothes of a young master, and went to Juwang Tower.

When Shopkeeper Qiao saw her, he became more and more polite and said, "Sir, you are here."

Xia Qianqian handed him the manuscript of "The Legend of the New White Snake", "This is the most recent manuscript."

Shopkeeper Qiao took it like a treasure, opened it, scanned it first, and said cheerfully: "Sir, thank you for your hard work."

He enthusiastically introduced: "Recently, the dolls and sugar sculptures surrounding "Journey to the West" have been selling very well. Sir, in addition to the four masters and apprentices, the rest of the gods and ghosts, such as the Bull Demon King, Princess Iron Fan, etc., are there images available?

For sale?"

"Is anyone interested in this?"

"Of course there is."

Shopkeeper Qiao said with a smile: "Many listeners are particularly fond of some little characters. For example, what does the White Bone Demon look like?"

"Okay! I'll bring it to you when I go back to paint."

"Okay!" Shopkeeper Qiao said enthusiastically: "Sir, why don't you have a bowl of beef noodles and listen to Mr. Sun's storytelling? It's time to talk about Gao Laozhuang's episode of "Journey to the West."

"No!" Xia Qianqian stood up and declined: "I'm in a hurry today, I'll come back another day to listen."

"Okay, sir, if you still have new notebooks, you must send them in time. Or, if it is inconvenient for you to come to Juwanglou next time, you can put them somewhere, and I can pick them up in person."

Xia Qianqian walked down the stairs and listened to what he said. It was right after thinking about it.

Every time she comes, she has to find a remote place to change her clothes, which is really troublesome.

"I see there is a gap under the stone lion's feet at the door. If I don't come by then, can I let someone else stuff it into the cave?"

When Shopkeeper Qiao heard this, he nodded repeatedly, "Okay."

After exiting the gate of Juwang Building, Xia Qianqian turned a few more corners, and when she came out again, she changed into women's clothing.

She bought some vegetables, potatoes and other items on the street, and also bought two kilograms of meat, planning to go back tonight and make boiled pork slices.

I turned around and found a jewelry stall selling some silver jewelry.

She came forward, scanned the hairpins with her eyes, and chose a silver hairpin made of winter jasmine flowers, "How do you sell this?"

"Ten cents."

Xia Qianqian handed the other party a copper plate, holding up the silver hairpin, and couldn't help but be happy.

The family was poor, so my mother’s hair had always been tied up with wooden hairpins. Now that they have some savings, they will give her this silver hairpin, and she will be very happy.

As she walked, she looked at the hairpin in her hand. Just when she was happy, the sound of horse hooves came from behind.

She turned her head and saw a horse galloping not far away.

The man on horseback has a heroic appearance, wearing a moon-white brocade robe flying in the wind, which further highlights the ancient charm of the whole person and makes people unable to take their eyes away.

When people around saw the horse galloping towards them, they all ducked aside.

Xia Qianqian consciously took a few steps back. Unexpectedly, when the horse came to her, the man bent down, stretched out his long arm, grabbed her waist, and lifted her onto the horse's back.

"Ah..." Xia Qianqian exclaimed, "Mo Yu, what are you doing?"

His expression was wrong, maybe he was stimulated.

"Take you somewhere."

"I have classes in the afternoon!" Xia Qianqian declined politely.

"I asked Mr. Liu to ask for leave for you."

"I will take Yuanbao home later!"

"Geng Zhong will send him back."

Xia Qianqian: "..." Why is she afraid of being alone with him!

He covered her with the cloak behind him and said loudly: "Hold it up."

Help?

How can she support this horse?

As soon as he finished speaking, the horse spread its hooves and ran forward.

Xia Qianqian tilted her body, and in panic, she reached out and hugged his waist.

Ji Zimo's lips curled up, and she couldn't help but clamp her legs together and shouted: "Drive!"

The horse was bumpy, and Xia Qianqian said anxiously, "Slow down."

"Hurry up."

He rode faster and faster.
