At this time, Hua Zhuo, who looked happy, was nesting in his showroom, sewing a pair of men's shoes.
It's just that for this parting, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it's difficult to communicate with each other. It's no wonder that the lady has to make shoes carefully.
Mrs. Fang felt more at ease when she saw that although he was a young boy with a bit of a dull temper, he was still polite and courteous, and she felt more at ease, so she smiled and said: "I'll go to the kitchen and have a look, Zhuo'er, just stay here with Zhang Xian for me." Nephew, let’s talk.” Then he said to Zhang Yile, “You’ll have dinner at my place in a while. Go back and study carefully, so as not to embarrass your cousin.”
Hua Zhuo quickly said: "Thank you, brother Zhang Wu."
Gong Cai didn't know the temperament of Master Zhang Wu, so she took Qiqiao's words seriously. She stuck out her tongue in shame and said, "I was wrong. I thought he had some thoughts about the lady, hehe. ... I think he is not as good-looking as my uncle, nor is he as stable as my uncle... "
The thick soap sole is convenient for trekking through mountains and rivers, and the uppers are made of auspicious cloud patterns. They are navy blue, not easy to get dirty, and are wear-resistant. In fact, she not only wants to make this pair of shoes, but also wants to sew a few pieces of clothing with her own hands, but she is afraid. It’s too late, so I might as well concentrate on making a pair of shoes.
At this time, Hua Zhuo, who looked happy, was nesting in his showroom, sewing a pair of men's shoes.
Zhang Yile responded hurriedly. After Fang left, he relaxed and rushed to Hua Zhuo in a few steps. He said with a face: "Why don't you write to me?"
Qiqiao snorted softly and said: "He dares, this is not in the Zhang Mansion, where he is allowed to lose his temper as a young master."
Liushun couldn't help but smile and said: "Visitors are always guests, and Madam doesn't want to make him unhappy. Besides, you also know that today the banker will send a matchmaker to pay a betrothal gift and exchange marriage certificates. If he really makes a fuss, he will It’s not very good.”
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard the sound of the door curtain. Qiqiao turned around and saw Gong Cai waving to her. She couldn't help but laugh and curse: "If you have anything to say, just say it. What are you doing sneakily?"
Zhang Yile responded hurriedly. After Fang left, he relaxed and rushed to Hua Zhuo in a few steps. He said with a face: "Why don't you write to me?"
If Master Zhang Wu had caused a scene before, even if the matter did not involve Hua Zhuo, someone would probably have made irresponsible remarks, not to mention that he really came to see Hua Zhuo, so although Fang was messed up by Zhang Yile, She was a little dumbfounded, but she didn't refuse his request. It was said that he and Hua Zhuo were childhood sweethearts. They had exchanged letters in the past few years, although they were not very frequent, and she and Hua Xu had read every letter. They knew that although Zhang Yile had some The young master has a bad temper, but he has no personal relationship with his daughter, so there is no reason to prevent them from meeting each other.
Mrs. Fang felt more at ease when she saw that although he was a young boy with a bit of a dull temper, he was still polite and courteous, and she felt more at ease, so she smiled and said: "I'll go to the kitchen and have a look, Zhuo'er, just stay here with Zhang Xian for me." Nephew, let’s talk.” Then he said to Zhang Yile, “You’ll have dinner at my place in a while. Go back and study carefully, so as not to embarrass your cousin.”
"Miss, my uncle will leave in three days. There is still time to make these shoes. Please don't stay up late tonight." Qiqiao advised in a low voice.
Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "Nephew Zhang Xian came to see you specially and brought a gift."
"What's the inconvenience?" Zhang Yile jumped to the top. The young master lost his temper and looked angry, as if you don't give me an explanation, I will go crazy.
After leaving at Shangyuan night, Bixi went to Zhuang's mansion again, but did not see Zhuang Zheng. She only got the letter from Guanshankou and knew the day of Zhuang Zheng's departure.
Hearing that it was Zhang Yile who had arrived, Hua Zhuo was stunned, but then said: "Just in time, I have something to say to him." After saying that, he put down the half-embroidered shoe uppers in his hands and changed his clothes. The guest's clothes left the show pavilion.
Gong Cai smiled and ran in. Seeing that the young lady was not paying attention, she whispered: "Just now I went to talk to Sister Liushun, and I saw someone coming to the door to say that Young Master Zhang Wu came to visit Madam. , I hid outside the door and listened, but I felt that the young master’s thoughts were all on the young lady, and he wanted to say hello to the young lady in just three words, hehe... "
Gong Cai didn't know the temperament of Master Zhang Wu, so she took Qiqiao's words seriously. She stuck out her tongue in shame and said, "I was wrong. I thought he had some thoughts about the lady, hehe. ... I think he is not as good-looking as my uncle, nor is he as stable as my uncle... "
"As long as it's good, that's good. I'm fine too. It's just that I'm always being controlled by my cousin. It's the most disgusting thing. She's not my mother. She controls me more strictly than my mother. If it weren't for the Imperial College exams, After the new year, I have long ignored her..."
After leaving at Shangyuan night, Bixi went to Zhuang's mansion again, but did not see Zhuang Zheng. She only got the letter from Guanshankou and knew the day of Zhuang Zheng's departure.
"Sister Hua."
Zhang Yile curled his lips and said: "That's for the children of the clan to enter the school. Recommendations are enough. For people like me, not only do they have to be recommended, but they also have to take a test. I heard it's not difficult, but my cousin said that my recommended quota was given by the Cui family. , but if you fail the exam, you will lose face to the Cui family, so I gave me a bunch of books." As he said, he looked angrily, "It seems that my cousin is so ignorant and unskilled, I really annoyed her. "
"I know, Qiqiao, help me make some tea."
It's just that for this parting, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it's difficult to communicate with each other. It's no wonder that the lady has to make shoes carefully.
Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "Nephew Zhang Xian came to see you specially and brought a gift."
Qiqiao thought the same thing. It would not be good for the young lady to cause any trouble at this juncture, so she nodded and said, "I'll go and tell the young lady."
The thick soap sole is convenient for trekking through mountains and rivers, and the uppers are made of auspicious cloud patterns. They are navy blue, not easy to get dirty, and are wear-resistant. In fact, she not only wants to make this pair of shoes, but also wants to sew a few pieces of clothing with her own hands, but she is afraid.

Gong Cai didn't know the temperament of Master Zhang Wu, so she took Qiqiao's words seriously. She stuck out her tongue in shame and said, "I was wrong. I thought he had some thoughts about the lady, hehe. ... I think he is not as good-looking as my uncle, nor is he as stable as my uncle... "
"Your cousin is also doing it for your own good. Guozixue is not easy to treat. Now that you have come to Beijing, she can't let you have fun according to your temper." Fang said, with a hint of instruction in her tone.
Zhang Yile had long been impatient to wait. If Fang hadn't been sitting above him, he might have jumped up on the spot when he saw Hua Zhuo coming in, cursing, "Okay, now that I'm older, I'm also more assertive." Finally, he I don't dare to be presumptuous in front of my elders. Although I am used to being pampered, the children of the aristocratic family also have the cultivation of the children of the aristocratic family.
Hua Zhuo naturally knew that if she didn't pay attention to exquisiteness, three days would be enough for her to finish making this pair of shoes. However, this was her first time making shoes for Zhuang Zheng, and she didn't know how long it would take to see each other again, so she wanted to make this pair of shoes. The shoes must be made to be the best. The stitches must be sewn very carefully, seven times back and forth, so that the threads will not come off. The embroidered patterns on the uppers must be exquisite and unparalleled.
"Brother Zhang Wu!" Hua Zhuo's expression became serious, and although his voice was not high, it was very solemn, "Hua Zhuo is a girl, so she is not as free to come and go as the fifth brother, but she has also read "Female Commandments" and understands her duty. Please Fifth Brother, please don’t embarrass me.”
After leaving at Shangyuan night, Bixi went to Zhuang's mansion again, but did not see Zhuang Zheng. She only got the letter from Guanshankou and knew the day of Zhuang Zheng's departure.
Hua Zhuo's heart skipped a beat when he heard him mention Guozixue. He suddenly thought of Wei Haoran and asked quickly: "Do I need to take the exam to enter Guozixue? Isn't it just a recommendation?"
In fact, just based on appearance, Zhang Yile was as polished as a child, and he will be just as good when he grows up. However, his young master has a bad temper, is childish, is not as tall as Zhuang Zheng, and is slightly younger than Zhuang Zheng. , so he naturally looks less steady than Zhuang Zheng, and he doesn't have that polite gentlemanly demeanor. Now Zhang Yile still looks like a child, restless and restless.
He pretended to stand up and salute. If you didn't look at his colorful expression, he was really quite graceful.
Qiqiao made tea and saw that the young lady was still paying full attention. She couldn't help but laugh and sigh in her heart. In the past, she always felt that the young lady didn't care much about her uncle. She was only forced by the situation to have contact with him. Now look at it. Come on, she was wrong. The young lady was actually worried about her uncle.
After leaving at Shangyuan night, Bixi went to Zhuang's mansion again, but did not see Zhuang Zheng. She only got the letter from Guanshankou and knew the day of Zhuang Zheng's departure.
The young lady's whole heart is in these shoes. She only hopes that her uncle can understand and cherish these shoes.
Naturally, Hua Zhuo couldn't tell him that he stayed up all night to make shoes for Zhuang Zheng, so he smiled and replied, "If you ask me, I'm fine."
It's just that for this parting, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it's difficult to communicate with each other. It's no wonder that the lady has to make shoes carefully.
"The lady said, please go to the front hall."
Zhang Yile was stunned.
The young lady's whole heart is in these shoes. She only hopes that her uncle can understand and cherish these shoes.
He pretended to stand up and salute. If you didn't look at his colorful expression, he was really quite graceful.

Gong Cai quickly covered her mouth and made an expression like "I won't say another word", making Qiqiao burst into laughter, and then heard Liu Shun's voice coming from outside.
He pretended to stand up and salute. If you didn't look at his colorful expression, he was really quite graceful.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard the sound of the door curtain. Qiqiao turned around and saw Gong Cai waving to her. She couldn't help but laugh and curse: "If you have anything to say, just say it. What are you doing sneakily?"
Zhang Yile laughed and said, "Thank you, you don't have to be so polite with me. Sister Hua, how are you doing these days?" The young man's sharp eyes had already spotted a circle of black under Hua Zhuo's eyes, which clearly showed that he had not slept well.
If Master Zhang Wu had caused a scene before, even if the matter did not involve Hua Zhuo, someone would probably have made irresponsible remarks, not to mention that he really came to see Hua Zhuo, so although Fang was messed up by Zhang Yile, She was a little dumbfounded, but she didn't refuse his request. It was said that he and Hua Zhuo were childhood sweethearts. They had exchanged letters in the past few years, although they were not very frequent, and she and Hua Xu had read every letter. They knew that although Zhang Yile had some The young master has a bad temper, but he has no personal relationship with his daughter, so there is no reason to prevent them from meeting each other.
"Brother Zhang Wu." Hua Zhuo bowed in return and called "Mother" to Fang.
"As long as it's good, that's good. I'm fine too. It's just that I'm always being controlled by my cousin. It's the most disgusting thing. She's not my mother. She controls me more strictly than my mother. If it weren't for the Imperial College exams, After the new year, I have long ignored her..."
Gong Cai smiled and ran in. Seeing that the young lady was not paying attention, she whispered: "Just now I went to talk to Sister Liushun, and I saw someone coming to the door to say that Young Master Zhang Wu came to visit Madam. , I hid outside the door and listened, but I felt that the young master’s thoughts were all on the young lady, and he wanted to say hello to the young lady in just three words, hehe...

Zhang Yile responded hurriedly. After Fang left, he relaxed and rushed to Hua Zhuo in a few steps. He said with a face: "Why don't you write to me?"

In fact, it wasn't that Zhang Yile didn't want to come to Hua Zhuo before, but that he didn't know where Hua Zhuo lived until Fang came to Beijing and settled the marriage with the banker in one fell swoop. The news spread, and many people in Beijing talked about it privately. Zhang Yile then found out that Rongantang had a house in Taiyechi, so he came excitedly. The purpose was of course to ask Hua Zhuo why she didn't write to him. In fact, he also asked her in private why she didn't say a word. It meant getting engaged, but it was just in front of Mr. Fang that his young master's temper couldn't show up for a while, but in desperation, he couldn't help but ask again. Only then did Gong Cai ask after hearing his three words. It’s Miss Ann’s business.
"Your cousin is also doing it for your own good. Guozixue is not easy to treat. Now that you have come to Beijing, she can't let you have fun according to your temper." Fang said, with a hint of instruction in her tone.
Qiqiao pointed at her forehead and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? The young lady is already engaged. Be careful that she will annoy you and send you to work in the outer courtyard." When he said that they had met, he paused and said: " The Zhang family and our Rongantang can be regarded as old friends. His old man was originally a student of our old master Zeng, but we haven’t been in contact with each other for many years. We happened to meet each other again in Huainan Mansion a few years ago, so we exchanged some letters. In fact, it's nothing. Now that our wife has arrived in Beijing, the young master Zhang Wu happens to be visiting relatives in Beijing. It is also polite to come and visit the elders. Before my wife came, he had never been to Taiye Pond once. He is a young master who knows etiquette and abides by the rules, not a prodigal son."
It's just that for this parting, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it's difficult to communicate with each other. It's no wonder that the lady has to make shoes carefully.
Zhang Yile laughed and said, "Thank you, you don't have to be so polite with me. Sister Hua, how are you doing these days?" The young man's sharp eyes had already spotted a circle of black under Hua Zhuo's eyes, which clearly showed that he had not slept well.

Qiqiao smiled and said: "How can we compare like this? My uncle is naturally good. Master Zhang Wu is also a son of a noble family, but he is the youngest in the family and the most favored. His grandfather dotes on him, his father dotes on him, and his elder brother gives in to others. It's just a matter of course. It's a bit frivolous, but I won't do anything against etiquette.

Qiqiao hurriedly opened the curtain and went out, saying: "Sister Liushun, the young lady is busy making shoes for my uncle at the moment. Please reply to Madam and say that the young lady did not have a good rest yesterday and it is not convenient to see guests at this time." .”
Hearing that it was Zhang Yile who had arrived, Hua Zhuo was stunned, but then said: "Just in time, I have something to say to him." After saying that, he put down the half-embroidered shoe uppers in his hands and changed his clothes. The guest's clothes left the show pavilion.
If Master Zhang Wu had caused a scene before, even if the matter did not involve Hua Zhuo, someone would probably have made irresponsible remarks, not to mention that he really came to see Hua Zhuo, so although Fang was messed up by Zhang Yile, She was a little dumbfounded, but she didn't refuse his request.

"Miss, my uncle will leave in three days. There is still time to make these shoes. Please don't stay up late tonight." Qiqiao advised in a low voice.
Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "Nephew Zhang Xian came to see you specially and brought a gift."
Qiqiao hurriedly opened the curtain and went out, saying: "Sister Liushun, the young lady is busy making shoes for my uncle at the moment. Please reply to Madam and say that the young lady did not have a good rest yesterday and it is not convenient to see guests at this time." .”

Qiqiao thought the same thing. It would not be good for the young lady to cause any trouble at this juncture, so she nodded and said, "I'll go and tell the young lady."
"I know, Qiqiao, help me make some tea."
Qiqiao smiled and said: "How can we compare like this? My uncle is naturally good. Master Zhang Wu is also a son of a noble family, but he is the youngest in the family and the most favored.

Liushun hesitated for a moment and then said: "I just saw a visitor, sit down for a while and then come back. It won't take long. You also know the temper of Young Master Zhang Wu. Don't let him make a fuss."
Qiqiao made tea and saw that the young lady was still paying full attention. She couldn't help but laugh and sigh in her heart. In the past, she always felt that the young lady didn't care much about her uncle. She was only forced by the situation to have contact with him. Now look at it. Come on, she was wrong. The young lady was actually worried about her uncle.
Hua Zhuo's heart skipped a beat when he heard him mention Guozixue. He suddenly thought of Wei Haoran and asked quickly: "Do I need to take the exam to enter Guozixue? Isn't it just a recommendation?"
"Sister Hua."
How could Zhang Yile dare to contradict her? Although he didn't mind, Fang still bowed and said "yes".
"Miss, my uncle will leave in three days. There is still time to make these shoes. Please don't stay up late tonight." Qiqiao advised in a low voice.
"Miss, my uncle will leave in three days. There is still time to make these shoes. Please don't stay up late tonight." Qiqiao advised in a low voice.
Liushun hesitated for a moment and then said: "I just saw a visitor, sit down for a while and then come back. It won't take long. You also know the temper of Young Master Zhang Wu. Don't let him make a fuss."
Gong Cai smiled and ran in. Seeing that the young lady was not paying attention, she whispered: "Just now I went to talk to Sister Liushun, and I saw someone coming to the door to say that Young Master Zhang Wu came to visit Madam. , I hid outside the door and listened, but I felt that the young master’s thoughts were all on the young lady, and he wanted to say hello to the young lady in just three words, hehe... "
Qiqiao snorted softly and said: "He dares, this is not in the Zhang Mansion, where he is allowed to lose his temper as a young master."
Hua Zhuo's heart skipped a beat when he heard him mention Guozixue. He suddenly thought of Wei Haoran and asked quickly: "Do I need to take the exam to enter Guozixue? Isn't it just a recommendation?"
Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "Nephew Zhang Xian came to see you specially and brought a gift."
"Brother Zhang Wu!" Hua Zhuo's expression became serious, and although his voice was not high, it was very solemn, "Hua Zhuo is a girl, so she is not as free to come and go as the fifth brother, but she has also read "Female Commandments" and understands her duty. Please Fifth Brother, please don’t embarrass me.”
Hearing that it was Zhang Yile who had arrived, Hua Zhuo was stunned, but then said: "Just in time, I have something to say to him." After saying that, he put down the half-embroidered shoe uppers in his hands and changed his clothes. The guest's clothes left the show pavilion.
"What's the inconvenience?" Zhang Yile jumped to the top. The young master lost his temper and looked angry, as if you don't give me an explanation, I will go crazy.
"Miss, my uncle will leave in three days. There is still time to make these shoes. Please don't stay up late tonight." Qiqiao advised in a low voice.
Liushun couldn't help but smile and said: "Visitors are always guests, and Madam doesn't want to make him unhappy. Besides, you also know that today the banker will send a matchmaker to pay a betrothal gift and exchange marriage certificates. If he really makes a fuss, he will It’s not very good.”
Zhang Yile responded hurriedly. After Fang left, he relaxed and rushed to Hua Zhuo in a few steps. He said with a face: "Why don't you write to me?"
Gong Cai smiled and ran in. Seeing that the young lady was not paying attention, she whispered: "Just now I went to talk to Sister Liushun, and I saw someone coming to the door to say that Young Master Zhang Wu came to visit Madam. , I hid outside the door and listened, but I felt that the young master’s thoughts were all on the young lady, and he wanted to say hello to the young lady in just three words, hehe... "
Zhang Yile was stunned.
"I know, Qiqiao, help me make some tea."
At this time, Hua Zhuo, who looked happy, was nesting in his showroom, sewing a pair of men's shoes.
"As long as it's good, that's good. I'm fine too. It's just that I'm always being controlled by my cousin. It's the most disgusting thing. She's not my mother. She controls me more strictly than my mother. If it weren't for the Imperial College exams, After the new year, I have long ignored her..."
Zhang Yile was so excited that she called her "Fifth Brother". He had no choice but to do it. He was the youngest in the family, and he was either calling him "brother" or "sister" every day. So when Hua Zhuo called him "brother" a few times, he almost felt like he was about to fly, and then he couldn't help but start. complain.
The horoscopes of the two families have been changed. Originally, before this, there was still a process of approving the horoscopes. However, Master Kuyue had already approved the horoscopes of the couple when the banker proposed marriage on the Lantern Festival. After receiving the comment that a perfect match was made, and because Zhuang Zheng was about to go to Songshan Academy to study, the appointment date was set on the day before his studies. This day was also finalized by Master Kuyue after calculation, saying that it would be after the New Year. It is the first prosperous day. If you get engaged on this day, the woman will have a prosperous husband and children. This is really a rare and good day for the big family of the banker who does not have many children.
Qiqiao hurriedly opened the curtain and went out, saying: "Sister Liushun, the young lady is busy making shoes for my uncle at the moment. Please reply to Madam and say that the young lady did not have a good rest yesterday and it is not convenient to see guests at this time." .”
"What's the inconvenience?" Zhang Yile jumped to the top. The young master lost his temper and looked angry, as if you don't give me an explanation, I will go crazy.
Zhang Yile laughed and said, "Thank you, you don't have to be so polite with me. Sister Hua, how are you doing these days?" The young man's sharp eyes had already spotted a circle of black under Hua Zhuo's eyes, which clearly showed that he had not slept well.
Hua Zhuo naturally knew that if she didn't pay attention to exquisiteness, three days would be enough for her to finish making this pair of shoes. However, this was her first time making shoes for Zhuang Zheng, and she didn't know how long it would take to see each other again, so she wanted to make this pair of shoes. The shoes must be made to be the best. The stitches must be sewn very carefully, seven times back and forth, so that the threads will not come off. The embroidered patterns on the uppers must be exquisite and unparalleled.
If Master Zhang Wu had caused a scene before, even if the matter did not involve Hua Zhuo, someone would probably have made irresponsible remarks, not to mention that he really came to see Hua Zhuo, so although Fang was messed up by Zhang Yile, She was a little dumbfounded, but she didn't refuse his request. It was said that he and Hua Zhuo were childhood sweethearts. They had exchanged letters in the past few years, although they were not very frequent, and she and Hua Xu had read every letter. They knew that although Zhang Yile had some The young master has a bad temper, but he has no personal relationship with his daughter, so there is no reason to prevent them from meeting each other.
Qiqiao smiled and said: "How can we compare like this? My uncle is naturally good. Master Zhang Wu is also a son of a noble family, but he is the youngest in the family and the most favored. His grandfather dotes on him, his father dotes on him, and his elder brother gives in to others. It's just a matter of course. It's a bit frivolous, but I won't do anything against etiquette. Please keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense to others."
Hua Zhuo was startled and said amusedly: "Brother Zhang Wu, we are all grown up, and it is always inconvenient to write letters."
Zhang Yile had long been impatient to wait. If Fang hadn't been sitting above him, he might have jumped up on the spot when he saw Hua Zhuo coming in, cursing, "Okay, now that I'm older, I'm also more assertive." Finally, he I don't dare to be presumptuous in front of my elders. Although I am used to being pampered, the children of the aristocratic family also have the cultivation of the children of the aristocratic family.
Hua Zhuo's heart skipped a beat when he heard him mention Guozixue. He suddenly thought of Wei Haoran and asked quickly: "Do I need to take the exam to enter Guozixue? Isn't it just a recommendation?"
Qiqiao thought the same thing. It would not be good for the young lady to cause any trouble at this juncture, so she nodded and said, "I'll go and tell the young lady."
Qiqiao smiled and said: "How can we compare like this? My uncle is naturally good. Master Zhang Wu is also a son of a noble family, but he is the youngest in the family and the most favored. His grandfather dotes on him, his father dotes on him, and his elder brother gives in to others. It's just a matter of course. It's a bit frivolous, but I won't do anything against etiquette. Please keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense to others."
Mrs. Fang felt more at ease when she saw that although he was a young boy with a bit of a dull temper, he was still polite and courteous, and she felt more at ease, so she smiled and said: "I'll go to the kitchen and have a look, Zhuo'er, just stay here with Zhang Xian for me." Nephew, let’s talk.” Then he said to Zhang Yile, “You’ll have dinner at my place in a while. Go back and study carefully, so as not to embarrass your cousin.”
Hearing that it was Zhang Yile who had arrived, Hua Zhuo was stunned, but then said: "Just in time, I have something to say to him." After saying that, he put down the half-embroidered shoe uppers in his hands and changed his clothes. The guest's clothes left the show pavilion.
"What's the inconvenience?" Zhang Yile jumped to the top. The young master lost his temper and looked angry, as if you don't give me an explanation, I will go crazy.
In fact, it wasn't that Zhang Yile didn't want to come to Hua Zhuo before, but that he didn't know where Hua Zhuo lived until Fang came to Beijing and settled the marriage with the banker in one fell swoop. The news spread, and many people in Beijing talked about it privately. Zhang Yile then found out that Rongantang had a house in Taiyechi, so he came excitedly. The purpose was of course to ask Hua Zhuo why she didn't write to him. In fact, he also asked her in private why she didn't say a word. It meant getting engaged, but it was just in front of Mr. Fang that his young master's temper couldn't show up for a while, but in desperation, he couldn't help but ask again. Only then did Gong Cai ask after hearing his three words. It’s Miss Ann’s business.

It's just that for this parting, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it's difficult to communicate with each other. It's no wonder that the lady has to make shoes carefully.

"Sister Hua."
Hua Zhuo quickly said: "Thank you, brother Zhang Wu."

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard the sound of the door curtain. Qiqiao turned around and saw Gong Cai waving to her. She couldn't help but laugh and curse: "If you have anything to say, just say it. What are you doing sneakily?"
Hua Zhuo was startled and said amusedly: "Brother Zhang Wu, we are all grown up, and it is always inconvenient to write letters."
The thick soap sole is convenient for trekking through mountains and rivers, and the uppers are made of auspicious cloud patterns. They are navy blue, not easy to get dirty, and are wear-resistant. In fact, she not only wants to make this pair of shoes, but also wants to sew a few pieces of clothing with her own hands, but she is afraid. It’s too late, so I might as well concentrate on making a pair of shoes.

He pretended to stand up and salute. If you didn't look at his colorful expression, he was really quite graceful.
Qiqiao made tea and saw that the young lady was still paying full attention. She couldn't help but laugh and sigh in her heart. In the past, she always felt that the young lady didn't care much about her uncle. She was only forced by the situation to have contact with him. Now look at it. Come on, she was wrong.

How could Zhang Yile dare to contradict her? Although he didn't mind, Fang still bowed and said "yes".
Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "Nephew Zhang Xian came to see you specially and brought a gift."
"Brother Zhang Wu." Hua Zhuo bowed in return and called "Mother" to Fang.
Gong Cai didn't know the temperament of Master Zhang Wu, so she took Qiqiao's words seriously. She stuck out her tongue in shame and said, "I was wrong. I thought he had some thoughts about the lady, hehe. ... I think he is not as good-looking as my uncle, nor is he as stable as my uncle... "

Hua Zhuo quickly said: "Thank you, brother Zhang Wu."
Zhang Yile curled his lips and said: "That's for the children of the clan to enter the school. Recommendations are enough. For people like me, not only do they have to be recommended, but they also have to take a test. I heard it's not difficult, but my cousin said that my recommended quota was given by the Cui family. , but if you fail the exam, you will lose face to the Cui family, so I gave me a bunch of books." As he said, he looked angrily, "It seems that my cousin is so ignorant and unskilled, I really annoyed her. "
Zhang Yile laughed and said, "Thank you, you don't have to be so polite with me. Sister Hua, how are you doing these days?" The young man's sharp eyes had already spotted a circle of black under Hua Zhuo's eyes, which clearly showed that he had not slept well.

Naturally, Hua Zhuo couldn't tell him that he stayed up all night to make shoes for Zhuang Zheng, so he smiled and replied, "If you ask me, I'm fine."
"I know, Qiqiao, help me make some tea."
Zhang Yile was stunned.

Zhang Yile was so excited that she called her "Fifth Brother". He had no choice but to do it. He was the youngest in the family, and he was either calling him "brother" or "sister" every day. So when Hua Zhuo called him "brother" a few times, he almost felt like he was about to fly, and then he couldn't help but start. complain.
Liushun hesitated for a moment and then said: "I just saw a visitor, sit down for a while and then come back. It won't take long. You also know the temper of Young Master Zhang Wu. Don't let him make a fuss."

"Your cousin is also doing it for your own good. Guozixue is not easy to treat. Now that you have come to Beijing, she can't let you have fun according to your temper." Fang said, with a hint of instruction in her tone.
He pretended to stand up and salute. If you didn't look at his colorful expression, he was really quite graceful.
Zhang Yile laughed and said, "Thank you, you don't have to be so polite with me. Sister Hua, how are you doing these days?" The young man's sharp eyes had already spotted a circle of black under Hua Zhuo's eyes, which clearly showed that he had not slept well.

Qiqiao pointed at her forehead and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? The young lady is already engaged. Be careful that she will annoy you and send you to work in the outer courtyard." When he said that they had met, he paused and said: " The Zhang family and our Rongantang can be regarded as old friends. His old man was originally a student of our old master Zeng, but we haven’t been in contact with each other for many years. We happened to meet each other again in Huainan Mansion a few years ago, so we exchanged some letters. In fact, it's nothing. Now that our wife has arrived in Beijing, the young master Zhang Wu happens to be visiting relatives in Beijing. It is also polite to come and visit the elders. Before my wife came, he had never been to Taiye Pond once. He is a young master who knows etiquette and abides by the rules, not a prodigal son."
Gong Cai didn't know the temperament of Master Zhang Wu, so she took Qiqiao's words seriously. She stuck out her tongue in shame and said, "I was wrong. I thought he had some thoughts about the lady, hehe. ... I think he is not as good-looking as my uncle, nor is he as stable as my uncle... "

For people like me, not only do they have to be recommended, but they also have to take a test. I heard it's not difficult, but my cousin said that my recommended quota was given by the Cui family. , but if you fail the exam, you will lose face to the Cui family, so I gave me a bunch of books." As he said, he looked angrily, "It seems that my cousin is so ignorant and unskilled, I really annoyed her. "
"Your cousin is also doing it for your own good. Guozixue is not easy to treat. Now that you have come to Beijing, she can't let you have fun according to your temper." Fang said, with a hint of instruction in her tone.
The horoscopes of the two families have been changed. Originally, before this, there was still a process of approving the horoscopes. However, Master Kuyue had already approved the horoscopes of the couple when the banker proposed marriage on the Lantern Festival. After receiving the comment that a perfect match was made, and because Zhuang Zheng was about to go to Songshan Academy to study, the appointment date was set on the day before his studies. This day was also finalized by Master Kuyue after calculation, saying that it would be after the New Year. It is the first prosperous day. If you get engaged on this day, the woman will have a prosperous husband and children. This is really a rare and good day for the big family of the banker who does not have many children.
Liushun couldn't help but smile and said: "Visitors are always guests, and Madam doesn't want to make him unhappy. Besides, you also know that today the banker will send a matchmaker to pay a betrothal gift and exchange marriage certificates. If he really makes a fuss, he will It’s not very good.”
Naturally, Hua Zhuo couldn't tell him that he stayed up all night to make shoes for Zhuang Zheng, so he smiled and replied, "If you ask me, I'm fine."
Zhang Yile had long been impatient to wait. If Fang hadn't been sitting above him, he might have jumped up on the spot when he saw Hua Zhuo coming in, cursing, "Okay, now that I'm older, I'm also more assertive." Finally, he I don't dare to be presumptuous in front of my elders. Although I am used to being pampered, the children of the aristocratic family also have the cultivation of the children of the aristocratic family.
Qiqiao made tea and saw that the young lady was still paying full attention. She couldn't help but laugh and sigh in her heart. In the past, she always felt that the young lady didn't care much about her uncle. She was only forced by the situation to have contact with him. Now look at it. Come on, she was wrong. The young lady was actually worried about her uncle.
Hua Zhuo naturally knew that if she didn't pay attention to exquisiteness, three days would be enough for her to finish making this pair of shoes. However, this was her first time making shoes for Zhuang Zheng, and she didn't know how long it would take to see each other again, so she wanted to make this pair of shoes. The shoes must be made to be the best. The stitches must be sewn very carefully, seven times back and forth, so that the threads will not come off. The embroidered patterns on the uppers must be exquisite and unparalleled.
"What's the inconvenience?" Zhang Yile jumped to the top. The young master lost his temper and looked angry, as if you don't give me an explanation, I will go crazy.
"Your cousin is also doing it for your own good. Guozixue is not easy to treat. Now that you have come to Beijing, she can't let you have fun according to your temper." Fang said, with a hint of instruction in her tone.
Qiqiao snorted softly and said: "He dares, this is not in the Zhang Mansion, where he is allowed to lose his temper as a young master."
"Miss, my uncle will leave in three days. There is still time to make these shoes. Please don't stay up late tonight." Qiqiao advised in a low voice.
Qiqiao thought the same thing. It would not be good for the young lady to cause any trouble at this juncture, so she nodded and said, "I'll go and tell the young lady."

How could Zhang Yile dare to contradict her? Although he didn't mind, Fang still bowed and said "yes".
How could Zhang Yile dare to contradict her? Although he didn't mind, Fang still bowed and said "yes".
Hua Zhuo quickly said: "Thank you, brother Zhang Wu."
The thick soap sole is convenient for trekking through mountains and rivers, and the uppers are made of auspicious cloud patterns. They are navy blue, not easy to get dirty, and are wear-resistant. In fact, she not only wants to make this pair of shoes, but also wants to sew a few pieces of clothing with her own hands, but she is afraid. It’s too late, so I might as well concentrate on making a pair of shoes.
Gong Cai didn't know the temperament of Master Zhang Wu, so she took Qiqiao's words seriously. She stuck out her tongue in shame and said, "I was wrong. I thought he had some thoughts about the lady, hehe. ... I think he is not as good-looking as my uncle, nor is he as stable as my uncle... "

The young lady was actually worried about her uncle.
"Brother Zhang Wu!" Hua Zhuo's expression became serious, and although his voice was not high, it was very solemn, "Hua Zhuo is a girl, so she is not as free to come and go as the fifth brother, but she has also read "Female Commandments" and understands her duty. Please Fifth Brother, please don’t embarrass me.”

Qiqiao thought the same thing. It would not be good for the young lady to cause any trouble at this juncture, so she nodded and said, "I'll go and tell the young lady."
Mrs. Fang felt more at ease when she saw that although he was a young boy with a bit of a dull temper, he was still polite and courteous, and she felt more at ease, so she smiled and said: "I'll go to the kitchen and have a look, Zhuo'er, just stay here with Zhang Xian for me." Nephew, let’s talk.” Then he said to Zhang Yile, “You’ll have dinner at my place in a while. Go back and study carefully, so as not to embarrass your cousin.”
He pretended to stand up and salute. If you didn't look at his colorful expression, he was really quite graceful.
If Master Zhang Wu had caused a scene before, even if the matter did not involve Hua Zhuo, someone would probably have made irresponsible remarks, not to mention that he really came to see Hua Zhuo, so although Fang was messed up by Zhang Yile, She was a little dumbfounded, but she didn't refuse his request. It was said that he and Hua Zhuo were childhood sweethearts. They had exchanged letters in the past few years, although they were not very frequent, and she and Hua Xu had read every letter. They knew that although Zhang Yile had some The young master has a bad temper, but he has no personal relationship with his daughter, so there is no reason to prevent them from meeting each other.
Zhang Yile was so excited that she called her "Fifth Brother". He had no choice but to do it. He was the youngest in the family, and he was either calling him "brother" or "sister" every day. So when Hua Zhuo called him "brother" a few times, he almost felt like he was about to fly, and then he couldn't help but start. complain.
Zhang Yile had long been impatient to wait. If Fang hadn't been sitting above him, he might have jumped up on the spot when he saw Hua Zhuo coming in, cursing, "Okay, now that I'm older, I'm also more assertive." Finally, he I don't dare to be presumptuous in front of my elders. Although I am used to being pampered, the children of the aristocratic family also have the cultivation of the children of the aristocratic family.
"What's the inconvenience?" Zhang Yile jumped to the top. The young master lost his temper and looked angry, as if you don't give me an explanation, I will go crazy.
Liushun hesitated for a moment and then said: "I just saw a visitor, sit down for a while and then come back. It won't take long. You also know the temper of Young Master Zhang Wu. Don't let him make a fuss."
Zhang Yile responded hurriedly. After Fang left, he relaxed and rushed to Hua Zhuo in a few steps. He said with a face: "Why don't you write to me?"
In fact, just based on appearance, Zhang Yile was as polished as a child, and he will be just as good when he grows up. However, his young master has a bad temper, is childish, is not as tall as Zhuang Zheng, and is slightly younger than Zhuang Zheng. , so he naturally looks less steady than Zhuang Zheng, and he doesn't have that polite gentlemanly demeanor. Now Zhang Yile still looks like a child, restless and restless.
Hua Zhuo naturally knew that if she didn't pay attention to exquisiteness, three days would be enough for her to finish making this pair of shoes. However, this was her first time making shoes for Zhuang Zheng, and she didn't know how long it would take to see each other again, so she wanted to make this pair of shoes.

If you get engaged on this day, the woman will have a prosperous husband and children. This is really a rare and good day for the big family of the banker who does not have many children.
In fact, it wasn't that Zhang Yile didn't want to come to Hua Zhuo before, but that he didn't know where Hua Zhuo lived until Fang came to Beijing and settled the marriage with the banker in one fell swoop. The news spread, and many people in Beijing talked about it privately. Zhang Yile then found out that Rongantang had a house in Taiyechi, so he came excitedly. The purpose was of course to ask Hua Zhuo why she didn't write to him. In fact, he also asked her in private why she didn't say a word. It meant getting engaged, but it was just in front of Mr. Fang that his young master's temper couldn't show up for a while, but in desperation, he couldn't help but ask again. Only then did Gong Cai ask after hearing his three words. It’s Miss Ann’s business.
Hua Zhuo was startled and said amusedly: "Brother Zhang Wu, we are all grown up, and it is always inconvenient to write letters."
Gong Cai smiled and ran in. Seeing that the young lady was not paying attention, she whispered: "Just now I went to talk to Sister Liushun, and I saw someone coming to the door to say that Young Master Zhang Wu came to visit Madam. , I hid outside the door and listened, but I felt that the young master’s thoughts were all on the young lady, and he wanted to say hello to the young lady in just three words, hehe... "
Zhang Yile curled his lips and said: "That's for the children of the clan to enter the school. Recommendations are enough. For people like me, not only do they have to be recommended, but they also have to take a test. I heard it's not difficult, but my cousin said that my recommended quota was given by the Cui family. , but if you fail the exam, you will lose face to the Cui family, so I gave me a bunch of books." As he said, he looked angrily, "It seems that my cousin is so ignorant and unskilled, I really annoyed her. "
Hearing that it was Zhang Yile who had arrived, Hua Zhuo was stunned, but then said: "Just in time, I have something to say to him." After saying that, he put down the half-embroidered shoe uppers in his hands and changed his clothes. The guest's clothes left the show pavilion.
"What's the inconvenience?" Zhang Yile jumped to the top. The young master lost his temper and looked angry, as if you don't give me an explanation, I will go crazy.
Zhang Yile had long been impatient to wait. If Fang hadn't been sitting above him, he might have jumped up on the spot when he saw Hua Zhuo coming in, cursing, "Okay, now that I'm older, I'm also more assertive." Finally, he I don't dare to be presumptuous in front of my elders. Although I am used to being pampered, the children of the aristocratic family also have the cultivation of the children of the aristocratic family.
It's just that for this parting, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it's difficult to communicate with each other. It's no wonder that the lady has to make shoes carefully.
Hua Zhuo was startled and said amusedly: "Brother Zhang Wu, we are all grown up, and it is always inconvenient to write letters."

Zhang Yile laughed and said, "Thank you, you don't have to be so polite with me. Sister Hua, how are you doing these days?" The young man's sharp eyes had already spotted a circle of black under Hua Zhuo's eyes, which clearly showed that he had not slept well.
"Brother Zhang Wu." Hua Zhuo bowed in return and called "Mother" to Fang.
How could Zhang Yile dare to contradict her? Although he didn't mind, Fang still bowed and said "yes".
He pretended to stand up and salute. If you didn't look at his colorful expression, he was really quite graceful.
