On this day, Zhou Ran called Miss An to the governor's Yamen and told Miss An about the matter. Miss An was naturally very happy, but this Miss An was from southern Xinjiang. Regarding the marriage, There are no red tapes in the Central Plains, but you still have to find a lover, a husband and a concubine, so Miss An proposed the idea of meeting Zhou Chi in person and having a good talk with Zhou Chi. There was no way Zhou Ran would not agree. When he was so busy, he asked his maid to go to the front yard to invite Zhou Chi to the back yard. However, the maid came back to report that the master was discussing food and grass with his subordinates in the front yard and would not be back for a while, so Zhou Ran kept Miss An at home. After lunch, the two of them talked in the backyard for most of the day. Zhou Ran became more and more satisfied with Miss An. He was thinking about how much to give as a betrothal gift, where to make the wedding dress, and even what to name their children in the future. She thought about it for a while.
However, it was almost dusk and Zhou Chi had not returned yet. Zhou Ran stayed with Miss An to have dinner and drink a pot of tea. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, it was really inconvenient to stay any longer, so Zhou Ran had to send someone to send An away. The girl went back and said she would make an appointment again.
By the time Zhou Chi returned to the backyard, it was already dark, he was very tired, and he had missed lunch. At this time, he was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. As soon as he came back, he rushed into the dining room. Seeing his appearance, Ran felt heartbroken. He felt more and more that Zhou Chi should get married as soon as possible and that someone would take care of her. Naturally, he mentioned Miss An to Zhou Chi.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chi didn't react for a long time.
"Miss An?" Zhou Chi looked at Zhou Ran in surprise while drinking fish porridge, "What Miss An? Which Miss An?"
Zhou Ran was furious: "It's Miss An that I mentioned to you a few days ago. Miss An came over today. During the day, didn't she ask people to go to the front yard to invite you back to meet them? Why? Don’t you remember Kung Fu just now?”
Zhou Chi was startled, and it took him a long time to react: "Oh, I remembered."
"You are too busy today, so forget it if you don't see me. Fortunately, Miss An is not angry. I have agreed with Miss An to make an appointment another day for you two to meet alone. Whether it can happen or not depends entirely on you. I I won't force you," Zhou Ran couldn't help but added while adding another bowl of rice to Zhou Chi, "But Miss An is so kind. She has been waiting for you in the house for most of the day, but you haven't been seen yet. , he didn’t even lose his face, which shows that he is a good-natured person. If you are too busy all day long, you should find someone who is more generous and open-minded. Don’t find someone who is narrow-minded. He will not be with you every day. Chirping and wiping away tears."
Zhou Chi didn't respond, took the bowl of fish fillet porridge, and ate silently, but he was no longer as greedy as before, just slowly eating spoonful by spoonful.
"Miss An has taken a liking to you a long time ago. In the past, you were focused on business matters and had no intention of getting married. I couldn't rush you. But now you are thirty-four. What's the point of not getting married? Is it difficult? Don't you have to wait until you are forty before you worry?" Zhou Ran couldn't help but increase his tone when he saw Zhou Chi kept silent, "I have always taken care of you in the past, it's nothing, but I can't take care of you forever. If you have someone right by your side to take care of you, I can feel at ease, right?"
Liu Changsheng was promoted and naturally got a new official residence. Liu Changsheng knew that Zhou Ran couldn't let go of Zhou Chi, his dependent brother, so he didn't rush to move there. He just had to make it difficult for Liu Changsheng to get up early and come home late on Liu Changsheng's birthday. This was naturally not a long-term solution. .
