"The environment and conditions in Qiaotou Village are not as good as those in the city. There are flying insects, cockroaches, and all kinds of reptiles at night, and there are dogs barking in the middle of the night. I'm afraid the young master won't be able to adapt to it," Haitang said.
Haitang felt that although Zilu was a friend of Mr. Zhang, it seemed a bit strange to stay overnight. Wasn't he from the county? Why didn't he go home to live?
Besides, he is a man.
Except for two members of the Tian family, all of them are women. So many women staying overnight with a man they meet for the first time, even though they are customers, will inevitably make the neighbors gossip, which is not good for Datong.
Haitang knew that in ancient times, one should keep a certain distance from men.
This is why Haitang declined.
I wanted to scare this young man who was obviously not born and raised with cockroaches, bed bugs, etc., so that he would retreat and go back to where he belongs!
Unexpectedly, Zilu disagreed.
Although he is the minister of the Ministry of War, he can be regarded as a veteran of marching. Not to mention bugs and crawlers, even jackals, tigers, leopards and herons will not be looked down upon!
Therefore, Zilu laughed it off.
"It's so sad. It turns out that I was rejected. Being a man is really a disadvantage." Zilu said.
"As you can see, all the dyers are women, so it is really inconvenient for men to stay overnight." Haitang had no choice but to say it directly. This was a reason that could not be shaken or changed.
Zilu was thinking about what to do. Only by living here would he have the opportunity to know this person better...
Looking at Young Master Zhang, he could tell that he was just drinking tea and not saying anything to help. Zi Lu quietly mentioned him, and Young Master Zhang smiled but still didn't say anything.
What Haitang said was reasonable. Although Mr. Zhang also wanted Zilu to stay so he could see what would happen next, he had no better reason now.
Is there really no reason to stay? Zilu felt a little sad.
"Sister Haitang, Mom asked you to come over." Tian Niu came over and whispered in Haitang's ear.
"I'll excuse you for a moment." Haitang went to her mother-in-law's courtyard and called her at this time. Could it be that Tian Tian had a stomachache or something? She went over worriedly.
"Haitang, come in quickly." When her mother-in-law saw Haitang coming, she pulled her in. The mysterious look made Haitang a little confused, but every time she did this, nothing good happened...
"I overheard just now that the young man brought by Mr. Zhang said that he wanted to buy a lot of cloth. What we have is not enough. He wants to stay overnight?" Granny Haitang looked out mysteriously.
"Yes, mother-in-law, don't worry, I have rejected him. We are just a female overnight guest and we won't let people gossip about us behind our back," Haitang said.
"Look at you, you are stupid. Now that Datong is the number one scholar, who dares to gossip about us? I think that young master is handsome, so why not let him live here and let Tian Niu get to know him better? You,
Don't always let Lamei serve tea and water, give her the opportunity, Tian Niu is your sister-in-law, and we are a family behind closed doors!" said the mother-in-law.
Haitang understood that this was because her mother-in-law thought that Mr. Zilu seemed to be from a wealthy family and was very polite, so she wanted to find a match for her daughter!
"Just leave those wintersweets and Lulu alone," the mother-in-law warned, as if she was afraid of giving this diamond king to an outsider.
Haitang made a calculation in her mind. When her second aunt left, she promised her to find a good husband for Lulu. He also included Tian Niu, Lamei, Brother Lamei, Ertong...
I really have a lot of single men and women on my hands.
