The matter of Qiqiao was settled in this way. Mrs. Fang invited Aunt Liu to come over. They turned over the imperial calendar together and picked the auspicious day of August 28th as the engagement date. However, the wedding day has not yet been decided. This is Considering that Hua Xu went to Beijing to report on his duties, it was not yet known where he would be dispatched by the officials. They would not stay in the old house for too long. Once they had the exact news, they would have to leave again. Therefore, Ah Fu and Qiqiao's marriage was not planned. We still have to wait until things settle down.
"That's it, don't go in. It's dark and cold inside. It's more comfortable to go in in summer. At this time of year, miss, it's better not to go in. My elder brother is doing something, so just don't worry." Yuexiang also advised.
In the middle of the strange moment, Yuexiang knocked on the door and shouted: "Brother, open the door quickly, the lady is here."
It didn't take long before several baskets of fruits were neatly placed in front of Hua Zhuo's eyes. The freshly picked fruits were bright in color and sprinkled with water, making them crystal clear. When touched, the skin had a hint of coldness in the cellar. Fragrant.
Listen, this is clearly a child's talk. Fang was amused by Baxiu and said: "This can't be done. How can a girl not get married? You are old enough. If I keep you by force, wouldn't it be wasted time?" you."
Qiqiao naturally knew what the young lady was thinking. She moved her lips but said nothing. Baxiu had a simple temper and could not hide her words in her heart. But on this matter, Qiqiao used various methods to Baxiu also failed to tell the truth. When asked urgently, she just said, "I'm not getting married."
Hua Jinfu took a pear, an orange and a handful of dates from the basket and put them into the prepared water. Qiqiao was about to step forward when Yuexiang unexpectedly took a step forward, squeezed her away, and said eagerly: "Miss, please taste it first. The pears and dates we produce are very sweet. These oranges are also top quality. Only our family can get hundreds of kilograms of them from the south every year..."
"Miss Qiqiao, please come this way."
But at Baxiu, things didn't go so smoothly.
Fortunately, Zhuang Zheng has gone to Songshan Academy to study. Songshan Academy is famous all over the world, and there are three or four great scholars. The future of Songshan students is even brighter, and the fifteenth aunt can be more or less satisfied.
"If you don't want to marry, if you don't want to marry, if you don't want to marry, you just don't want to marry. Miss, I'm not going to marry, don't drive me away..." When Fang smiled, Baxiu became anxious. She grabbed Hua Zhuo's sleeve and shook it back and forth, looking very coquettish. state.
"I don't want to marry anyone. I will serve the lady and never marry anyone in my life."
Yuexiang was suddenly so angry that her chest felt tight. As a result, her busy work could no longer serve Qiqiao.

But on this matter, Qiqiao used various methods to Baxiu also failed to tell the truth. When asked urgently, she just said, "I'm not getting married."
Baxiu shook his head like a rattle.
"I have a bad appetite today, Qiqiao, please give it a try."
Yuexiang's face changed slightly, and her heart was full of grievances. The young lady did this because she didn't trust her and her elder brother. Could it be that the two brothers and sisters would play some tricks.

This time Hua Zhuo could see clearly. Although she had been busy looking at the accounts these days, she was also vaguely aware of Yuexiang's rejection of Qiqiao. If it was possible that it was an illusion before, it was confirmed today, and her brows suddenly became clear. Frowning, this girl really needs training. Originally, she was planning to wait until she came back from the Qin family before letting Yuexiang go to the Fang family. Now it seems that she still can't take her away, otherwise she will be embarrassed to the fifteenth aunt. Here, she had to be punished again.
Listen, this is clearly a child's talk. Fang was amused by Baxiu and said: "This can't be done. How can a girl not get married? You are old enough. If I keep you by force, wouldn't it be wasted time?" you."
I understand, I understand, but now is not the time to say anything. After today's incident, he will secretly tell his little sister in private that since he has served her, he can only put her first in his heart from now on. The young lady's nod, no matter what it is, cannot be spread outside, not even to her parents and brothers.
Yuexiang was suddenly so angry that her chest felt tight. As a result, her busy work could no longer serve Qiqiao.
Hua Zhuo said nothing, looking at Baxiu's red face, thinking that this girl was not really thinking about Dr. Xu, so he couldn't help but glance at Qiqiao, wondering what Qiqiao found out from her mouth.
"Jin Fu has met Miss." Hua Jin Fu bowed and invited Hua Zhuo into the fruit shop, and then asked the waiter to serve tea.
"No need to serve tea. We have two shops to go to soon. Shopkeeper Jin Fu, let me pick out a few baskets of fruits. I wonder which fruits are fresher in the shops now?" Hua Zhuo said calmly.
"I don't want to marry anyone. I will serve the lady and never marry anyone in my life."
"Are fruits usually kept in the cellar?" Hua Zhuo had seen the fruit shop empty before and couldn't help but ask.
Listen, this is clearly a child's talk. Fang was amused by Baxiu and said: "This can't be done. How can a girl not get married? You are old enough. If I keep you by force, wouldn't it be wasted time?" you."
Qiqiao naturally knew what the young lady was thinking. She moved her lips but said nothing. Baxiu had a simple temper and could not hide her words in her heart. But on this matter, Qiqiao used various methods to Baxiu also failed to tell the truth. When asked urgently, she just said, "I'm not getting married."
Hua Zhuo laughed and pulled his sleeve out of her hand, saying, "Even if you get married, you can still stay with me like Qiqiao." Unless Baxiu married out of the house, otherwise she just wanted to leave. I won’t let it go either.
Hua Zhuo was startled for a moment, but he didn't flinch. He thought for a moment and then said, "Then my daughter will go to a few shops tomorrow."
Fortunately, Zhuang Zheng has gone to Songshan Academy to study. Songshan Academy is famous all over the world, and there are three or four great scholars. The future of Songshan students is even brighter, and the fifteenth aunt can be more or less satisfied.
"I have a bad appetite today, Qiqiao, please give it a try."
The devil believes that Baxiu really doesn't want to marry. At most, her temperament is not mature enough and she has not started to plan for her future. In terms of age, she is only half a year younger than Qiqiao, but in terms of temperament, she is actually no different from Gong Cai. How much difference. Gong Cai has an irresistible temperament. Although she is somewhat sophisticated in doing things, her temperament is closer to that of Ba Xiu and she is careless. Therefore, as soon as the two maids met, they fell in love within half an hour. They were as good as sisters. Sometimes Qiqiao felt a little annoyed when she saw the two of them chatting together.
Hua Jinfu was a bit more mature, and he immediately realized that the young lady did not insist on going into the cellar, but was somewhat dissatisfied with the brother and sister, so he took the opportunity to warn him. As for what the young lady was dissatisfied with, he knew it without even thinking about it. He must have disliked the fact that the young lady tipped him off yesterday. Although the young lady was here to pick out gifts today, she didn't take the opportunity to observe the operation of the shop. As soon as he closed the shop door, the young lady could not observe anything.
"I've had nothing to do on this journey. My daughter has prepared some embroidery pieces for the ceremony. Mom, take a look, what else should I add?" Hua Zhuo also wanted to go back quickly, but he didn't think about Qin. After staying at home for a long time, Mrs. Fifteenth Aunt treated her well, but her temper... Especially since she was engaged to Zhuang Zheng, she was really afraid that Mrs. Fifteenth Aunt would talk about her to death.
I understand, I understand, but now is not the time to say anything. After today's incident, he will secretly tell his little sister in private that since he has served her, he can only put her first in his heart from now on. The young lady's nod, no matter what it is, cannot be spread outside, not even to her parents and brothers.
While talking, he quickly cleaned the fruits, peeled the pears and cut them into slices, broke the oranges into pieces one by one, and put them on the plate. Then he arranged the dates in a circle around the pears and oranges. Son.
"If you don't want to marry, if you don't want to marry, if you don't want to marry, you just don't want to marry. Miss, I'm not going to marry, don't drive me away..." When Fang smiled, Baxiu became anxious. She grabbed Hua Zhuo's sleeve and shook it back and forth, looking very coquettish. state.
After thinking about what gifts to prepare, she walked out of the old house the next day with her two maids, Qiqiao and Yuexiang. These gifts were very common and meant to be thoughtful, so she had to go to the shop to choose them in person.
The matter of Qiqiao was settled in this way. Mrs. Fang invited Aunt Liu to come over. They turned over the imperial calendar together and picked the auspicious day of August 28th as the engagement date. However, the wedding day has not yet been decided. This is Considering that Hua Xu went to Beijing to report on his duties, it was not yet known where he would be dispatched by the officials. They would not stay in the old house for too long.

Hua Zhuo was startled for a moment, but he didn't flinch. He thought for a moment and then said, "Then my daughter will go to a few shops tomorrow."
"I have a bad appetite today, Qiqiao, please give it a try."
Only then did Hua Zhuo understand and said, "Shopkeeper Jin Fu, it's boring to sit here. I'll just go to the cellar and take a look myself."
Hua Zhuo laughed and pulled his sleeve out of her hand, saying, "Even if you get married, you can still stay with me like Qiqiao." Unless Baxiu married out of the house, otherwise she just wanted to leave. I won’t let it go either.
"I have a bad appetite today, Qiqiao, please give it a try."

Mrs. Fang smiled slightly and said: "I have given you the stewardship of the old house. You can make your own decisions about what to add. Mom will not ask. At most, I will wait until you have prepared the gift and Mom will take a look at it for you. I’ll point it out to you if it’s inappropriate.”

Fang said with a smile: "Okay, let's put the matter of Baxiu aside for now and let her serve you for another two years without delaying her."
"That's it, don't go in. It's dark and cold inside. It's more comfortable to go in in summer. At this time of year, miss, it's better not to go in. My elder brother is doing something, so just don't worry." Yuexiang also advised.
It was Yuexiang who led the way and led Hua Zhuo to the fruit shop first. At this time, the door of the shop was still closed, which made Hua Zhuo frown. It was already sunrise, why hadn't the fruit shop opened yet? Looking again, I saw a red paper taped to the door, which said: There is something going on in the shop today, the door will open in the afternoon.
Fang said with a smile: "Okay, let's put the matter of Baxiu aside for now and let her serve you for another two years without delaying her."
"I've had nothing to do on this journey. My daughter has prepared some embroidery pieces for the ceremony. Mom, take a look, what else should I add?"

The young lady's nod, no matter what it is, cannot be spread outside, not even to her parents and brothers.
After Fang's words, Baxiu immediately smiled and emphasized solemnly, "I said I won't marry, and I will definitely not marry."
Qiqiao naturally knew what the young lady was thinking. She moved her lips but said nothing. Baxiu had a simple temper and could not hide her words in her heart. But on this matter, Qiqiao used various methods to Baxiu also failed to tell the truth. When asked urgently, she just said, "I'm not getting married."
Mrs. Fang nodded and said: "I have been thinking about this matter for the past two days. Jiuli River is not far from the county town. Now that we are back, we should visit the Qin family. When we were in Beijing, Aunt Fifteen was very kind to you. Take care of me. If you don't go, it won't make sense. But now that the autumn harvest is around the corner, I'm afraid there will be a lot of busy work here at the old house. We have to go back quickly and we can't stay too long."
Hua Zhuo understood at once that the shopkeeper of Qingqing Fruit Shop was Yuexiang's eldest brother Hua Jinfu. This girl had most likely informed her yesterday, so Hua Jinfu didn't open for business, probably because he was afraid that other people would bump into her.
Hua Zhuo smiled slightly, sat back and said, "That's fine, I won't go in, so as not to embarrass you. Qiqiao, please go there for me."
Yuexiang's face changed slightly, and her heart was full of grievances. The young lady did this because she didn't trust her and her elder brother. Could it be that the two brothers and sisters would play some tricks.
"Okay, you will follow me for the rest of your life." Hua Zhuo responded with a smile, and then pushed Baxiu: "Go to my room and pick out some good embroidery. Go quickly."
"Miss, there is no light in the cellar and it is very cold." Hua Jinfu quickly tried to dissuade him. The cellar was dark and gloomy. How could the young lady go in and let her father know about it without breaking his legs
Baxiu shook his head like a rattle.
In the middle of the strange moment, Yuexiang knocked on the door and shouted: "Brother, open the door quickly, the lady is here."
"If you don't want to marry, if you don't want to marry, if you don't want to marry, you just don't want to marry. Miss, I'm not going to marry, don't drive me away..." When Fang smiled, Baxiu became anxious. She grabbed Hua Zhuo's sleeve and shook it back and forth, looking very coquettish. state.
After sending Baxiu away, she said to Fang: "Mom, it's been a few days since we returned to our old house. I was wondering if it's time to go to the county town."
Hua Zhuo was startled for a moment, but he didn't flinch. He thought for a moment and then said, "Then my daughter will go to a few shops tomorrow."
Mrs. Fang nodded and said: "I have been thinking about this matter for the past two days. Jiuli River is not far from the county town. Now that we are back, we should visit the Qin family.

"Are fruits usually kept in the cellar?" Hua Zhuo had seen the fruit shop empty before and couldn't help but ask.
The door of the fruit shop soon opened, and a young man of twenty-seven or eight years old came out. He was wearing a Gebu gown and a mustache on his chin. He looked smart and capable.
Listen, this is clearly a child's talk. Fang was amused by Baxiu and said: "This can't be done. How can a girl not get married? You are old enough. If I keep you by force, wouldn't it be wasted time?" you."
Giving gifts to the Qin family is different from ordinary human exchanges. It does not depend on how valuable the gift is. The important thing is to please the fifteenth aunt. With the temper of the fifteenth aunt, if the gift is too heavy, it may not be appreciated. She kicked him out, so Hua Zhuo did not consider picking from the warehouse. Instead, he picked some new products from his own shop. For example, the fruit shop is full of freshly picked fruits, so he can prepare several baskets. Then pick two paintings and calligraphy from the calligraphy and painting shop that can be hung on the wall, and prepare some four treasures of the study. I heard that the Qin family also has two cousins, and a few boxes of rouge and gouache.
Mrs. Fang smiled slightly and said: "I have given you the stewardship of the old house. You can make your own decisions about what to add. Mom will not ask. At most, I will wait until you have prepared the gift and Mom will take a look at it for you. I’ll point it out to you if it’s inappropriate.”

Now it seems that she still can't take her away, otherwise she will be embarrassed to the fifteenth aunt. Here, she had to be punished again.
Yuexiang's face changed slightly, and her heart was full of grievances. The young lady did this because she didn't trust her and her elder brother. Could it be that the two brothers and sisters would play some tricks.

It was Yuexiang who led the way and led Hua Zhuo to the fruit shop first. At this time, the door of the shop was still closed, which made Hua Zhuo frown. It was already sunrise, why hadn't the fruit shop opened yet? Looking again, I saw a red paper taped to the door, which said: There is something going on in the shop today, the door will open in the afternoon.
Hua Jinfu said with a smile: "Fruit is no better than grain. It cannot be stored for a long time after being picked. It is cold underground. If you store the fruit in the cellar, it can be stored for a longer time."
"Jin Fu has met Miss." Hua Jin Fu bowed and invited Hua Zhuo into the fruit shop, and then asked the waiter to serve tea.
This time Hua Zhuo could see clearly. Although she had been busy looking at the accounts these days, she was also vaguely aware of Yuexiang's rejection of Qiqiao. If it was possible that it was an illusion before, it was confirmed today, and her brows suddenly became clear. Frowning, this girl really needs training. Originally, she was planning to wait until she came back from the Qin family before letting Yuexiang go to the Fang family. Now it seems that she still can't take her away, otherwise she will be embarrassed to the fifteenth aunt. Here, she had to be punished again.
The door of the fruit shop soon opened, and a young man of twenty-seven or eight years old came out. He was wearing a Gebu gown and a mustache on his chin. He looked smart and capable.
"That's it, don't go in. It's dark and cold inside. It's more comfortable to go in in summer. At this time of year, miss, it's better not to go in. My elder brother is doing something, so just don't worry." Yuexiang also advised.
In the middle of the strange moment, Yuexiang knocked on the door and shouted: "Brother, open the door quickly, the lady is here."
The door of the fruit shop soon opened, and a young man of twenty-seven or eight years old came out. He was wearing a Gebu gown and a mustache on his chin. He looked smart and capable.
"I've had nothing to do on this journey. My daughter has prepared some embroidery pieces for the ceremony. Mom, take a look, what else should I add?" Hua Zhuo also wanted to go back quickly, but he didn't think about Qin. After staying at home for a long time, Mrs. Fifteenth Aunt treated her well, but her temper... Especially since she was engaged to Zhuang Zheng, she was really afraid that Mrs. Fifteenth Aunt would talk about her to death.
Hua Zhuo understood at once that the shopkeeper of Qingqing Fruit Shop was Yuexiang's eldest brother Hua Jinfu. This girl had most likely informed her yesterday, so Hua Jinfu didn't open for business, probably because he was afraid that other people would bump into her.
Mrs. Fang nodded and said: "I have been thinking about this matter for the past two days. Jiuli River is not far from the county town. Now that we are back, we should visit the Qin family. When we were in Beijing, Aunt Fifteen was very kind to you. Take care of me. If you don't go, it won't make sense. But now that the autumn harvest is around the corner, I'm afraid there will be a lot of busy work here at the old house. We have to go back quickly and we can't stay too long."
Baxiu shook his head like a rattle.
Yuexiang's face changed slightly, and her heart was full of grievances. The young lady did this because she didn't trust her and her elder brother. Could it be that the two brothers and sisters would play some tricks.
Giving gifts to the Qin family is different from ordinary human exchanges. It does not depend on how valuable the gift is. The important thing is to please the fifteenth aunt. With the temper of the fifteenth aunt, if the gift is too heavy, it may not be appreciated. She kicked him out, so Hua Zhuo did not consider picking from the warehouse. Instead, he picked some new products from his own shop. For example, the fruit shop is full of freshly picked fruits, so he can prepare several baskets. Then pick two paintings and calligraphy from the calligraphy and painting shop that can be hung on the wall, and prepare some four treasures of the study. I heard that the Qin family also has two cousins, and a few boxes of rouge and gouache.
The door of the fruit shop soon opened, and a young man of twenty-seven or eight years old came out. He was wearing a Gebu gown and a mustache on his chin. He looked smart and capable.
Hua Jinfu was a bit more mature, and he immediately realized that the young lady did not insist on going into the cellar, but was somewhat dissatisfied with the brother and sister, so he took the opportunity to warn him. As for what the young lady was dissatisfied with, he knew it without even thinking about it. He must have disliked the fact that the young lady tipped him off yesterday. Although the young lady was here to pick out gifts today, she didn't take the opportunity to observe the operation of the shop. As soon as he closed the shop door, the young lady could not observe anything.
This time Hua Zhuo could see clearly. Although she had been busy looking at the accounts these days, she was also vaguely aware of Yuexiang's rejection of Qiqiao. If it was possible that it was an illusion before, it was confirmed today, and her brows suddenly became clear. Frowning, this girl really needs training. Originally, she was planning to wait until she came back from the Qin family before letting Yuexiang go to the Fang family. Now it seems that she still can't take her away, otherwise she will be embarrassed to the fifteenth aunt. Here, she had to be punished again.
Fortunately, Zhuang Zheng has gone to Songshan Academy to study. Songshan Academy is famous all over the world, and there are three or four great scholars. The future of Songshan students is even brighter, and the fifteenth aunt can be more or less satisfied.
"No need to serve tea. We have two shops to go to soon. Shopkeeper Jin Fu, let me pick out a few baskets of fruits. I wonder which fruits are fresher in the shops now?" Hua Zhuo said calmly.

"Jin Fu has met Miss." Hua Jin Fu bowed and invited Hua Zhuo into the fruit shop, and then asked the waiter to serve tea.
Baxiu shook his head like a rattle.
The devil believes that Baxiu really doesn't want to marry. At most, her temperament is not mature enough and she has not started to plan for her future. In terms of age, she is only half a year younger than Qiqiao, but in terms of temperament, she is actually no different from Gong Cai. How much difference. Gong Cai has an irresistible temperament. Although she is somewhat sophisticated in doing things, her temperament is closer to that of Ba Xiu and she is careless. Therefore, as soon as the two maids met, they fell in love within half an hour. They were as good as sisters. Sometimes Qiqiao felt a little annoyed when she saw the two of them chatting together.
"No need to serve tea. We have two shops to go to soon. Shopkeeper Jin Fu, let me pick out a few baskets of fruits. I wonder which fruits are fresher in the shops now?" Hua Zhuo said calmly.
Fortunately, Zhuang Zheng has gone to Songshan Academy to study. Songshan Academy is famous all over the world, and there are three or four great scholars. The future of Songshan students is even brighter, and the fifteenth aunt can be more or less satisfied.
Hua Zhuo was clearly supporting Qiqiao. If it weren't for the fact that Yuexiang was new here and had never learned the rules before, she would have scolded her on the spot.
The matter of Qiqiao was settled in this way. Mrs. Fang invited Aunt Liu to come over. They turned over the imperial calendar together and picked the auspicious day of August 28th as the engagement date. However, the wedding day has not yet been decided. This is Considering that Hua Xu went to Beijing to report on his duties, it was not yet known where he would be dispatched by the officials. They would not stay in the old house for too long. Once they had the exact news, they would have to leave again. Therefore, Ah Fu and Qiqiao's marriage was not planned. We still have to wait until things settle down.
Only then did Hua Zhuo understand and said, "Shopkeeper Jin Fu, it's boring to sit here. I'll just go to the cellar and take a look myself."
Hua Jinfu bowed in response and said: "We have just had a good harvest of pears and dates in the mountains. We delivered hundreds of baskets early this morning. The villain has ordered the guys to pick up big and good-quality ones and put them in two baskets each." "There are also oranges harvested from the south. They are juicy and sweet, and they are also packed in a basket. Miss, please sit down for a moment, and I will go to the cellar to get them."
"Miss, there is no light in the cellar and it is very cold." Hua Jinfu quickly tried to dissuade him. The cellar was dark and gloomy. How could the young lady go in and let her father know about it without breaking his legs
"That's it, don't go in. It's dark and cold inside. It's more comfortable to go in in summer. At this time of year, miss, it's better not to go in. My elder brother is doing something, so just don't worry." Yuexiang also advised.
"I've had nothing to do on this journey. My daughter has prepared some embroidery pieces for the ceremony. Mom, take a look, what else should I add?" Hua Zhuo also wanted to go back quickly, but he didn't think about Qin. After staying at home for a long time, Mrs. Fifteenth Aunt treated her well, but her temper... Especially since she was engaged to Zhuang Zheng, she was really afraid that Mrs. Fifteenth Aunt would talk about her to death.
"Miss Qiqiao, please come this way."
"Miss, there is no light in the cellar and it is very cold." Hua Jinfu quickly tried to dissuade him. The cellar was dark and gloomy. How could the young lady go in and let her father know about it without breaking his legs
"Miss Qiqiao, please come this way."
"That's it, don't go in. It's dark and cold inside. It's more comfortable to go in in summer. At this time of year, miss, it's better not to go in. My elder brother is doing something, so just don't worry." Yuexiang also advised.
Hua Jinfu took a pear, an orange and a handful of dates from the basket and put them into the prepared water. Qiqiao was about to step forward when Yuexiang unexpectedly took a step forward, squeezed her away, and said eagerly: "Miss, please taste it first. The pears and dates we produce are very sweet. These oranges are also top quality. Only our family can get hundreds of kilograms of them from the south every year..."
"Are fruits usually kept in the cellar?" Hua Zhuo had seen the fruit shop empty before and couldn't help but ask.
"Okay, you will follow me for the rest of your life." Hua Zhuo responded with a smile, and then pushed Baxiu: "Go to my room and pick out some good embroidery. Go quickly."
But at Baxiu, things didn't go so smoothly.
"Miss, there is no light in the cellar and it is very cold." Hua Jinfu quickly tried to dissuade him. The cellar was dark and gloomy. How could the young lady go in and let her father know about it without breaking his legs
Only then did Hua Zhuo understand and said, "Shopkeeper Jin Fu, it's boring to sit here. I'll just go to the cellar and take a look myself."
"Miss Qiqiao, please come this way."
"Are fruits usually kept in the cellar?" Hua Zhuo had seen the fruit shop empty before and couldn't help but ask.
It didn't take long before several baskets of fruits were neatly placed in front of Hua Zhuo's eyes. The freshly picked fruits were bright in color and sprinkled with water, making them crystal clear. When touched, the skin had a hint of coldness in the cellar. Fragrant.
Mrs. Fang smiled slightly and said: "I have given you the stewardship of the old house. You can make your own decisions about what to add. Mom will not ask. At most, I will wait until you have prepared the gift and Mom will take a look at it for you. I’ll point it out to you if it’s inappropriate.”
Hua Jinfu said with a smile: "Fruit is no better than grain. It cannot be stored for a long time after being picked. It is cold underground. If you store the fruit in the cellar, it can be stored for a longer time."
Hua Zhuo was clearly supporting Qiqiao. If it weren't for the fact that Yuexiang was new here and had never learned the rules before, she would have scolded her on the spot.
Hua Zhuo smiled slightly, sat back and said, "That's fine, I won't go in, so as not to embarrass you. Qiqiao, please go there for me."
"Are fruits usually kept in the cellar?" Hua Zhuo had seen the fruit shop empty before and couldn't help but ask.
It was Yuexiang who led the way and led Hua Zhuo to the fruit shop first. At this time, the door of the shop was still closed, which made Hua Zhuo frown. It was already sunrise, why hadn't the fruit shop opened yet? Looking again, I saw a red paper taped to the door, which said: There is something going on in the shop today, the door will open in the afternoon.
Hua Zhuo was startled for a moment, but he didn't flinch. He thought for a moment and then said, "Then my daughter will go to a few shops tomorrow."

"I have a bad appetite today, Qiqiao, please give it a try."
Yuexiang was suddenly so angry that her chest felt tight. As a result, her busy work could no longer serve Qiqiao.
Hua Zhuo was startled for a moment, but he didn't flinch. He thought for a moment and then said, "Then my daughter will go to a few shops tomorrow."

Baxiu shook his head like a rattle.
Hua Zhuo smiled slightly, sat back and said, "That's fine, I won't go in, so as not to embarrass you. Qiqiao, please go there for me."
After sending Baxiu away, she said to Fang: "Mom, it's been a few days since we returned to our old house. I was wondering if it's time to go to the county town."
Hua Zhuo laughed and pulled his sleeve out of her hand, saying, "Even if you get married, you can still stay with me like Qiqiao." Unless Baxiu married out of the house, otherwise she just wanted to leave. I won’t let it go either.
Yuexiang's face changed slightly, and her heart was full of grievances. The young lady did this because she didn't trust her and her elder brother. Could it be that the two brothers and sisters would play some tricks.
Qiqiao naturally knew what the young lady was thinking. She moved her lips but said nothing. Baxiu had a simple temper and could not hide her words in her heart. But on this matter, Qiqiao used various methods to Baxiu also failed to tell the truth. When asked urgently, she just said, "I'm not getting married."
Hua Zhuo laughed and pulled his sleeve out of her hand, saying, "Even if you get married, you can still stay with me like Qiqiao." Unless Baxiu married out of the house, otherwise she just wanted to leave. I won’t let it go either.
While talking, he quickly cleaned the fruits, peeled the pears and cut them into slices, broke the oranges into pieces one by one, and put them on the plate. Then he arranged the dates in a circle around the pears and oranges. Son.

Only then did Hua Zhuo understand and said, "Shopkeeper Jin Fu, it's boring to sit here. I'll just go to the cellar and take a look myself."
After thinking about what gifts to prepare, she walked out of the old house the next day with her two maids, Qiqiao and Yuexiang. These gifts were very common and meant to be thoughtful, so she had to go to the shop to choose them in person.
Yuexiang was suddenly so angry that her chest felt tight. As a result, her busy work could no longer serve Qiqiao.

The door of the fruit shop soon opened, and a young man of twenty-seven or eight years old came out. He was wearing a Gebu gown and a mustache on his chin. He looked smart and capable.

Listen, this is clearly a child's talk. Fang was amused by Baxiu and said: "This can't be done. How can a girl not get married? You are old enough. If I keep you by force, wouldn't it be wasted time?" you."
I understand, I understand, but now is not the time to say anything. After today's incident, he will secretly tell his little sister in private that since he has served her, he can only put her first in his heart from now on. The young lady's nod, no matter what it is, cannot be spread outside, not even to her parents and brothers.
Fortunately, Zhuang Zheng has gone to Songshan Academy to study. Songshan Academy is famous all over the world, and there are three or four great scholars. The future of Songshan students is even brighter, and the fifteenth aunt can be more or less satisfied.

"If you don't want to marry, if you don't want to marry, if you don't want to marry, you just don't want to marry. Miss, I'm not going to marry, don't drive me away..." When Fang smiled, Baxiu became anxious. She grabbed Hua Zhuo's sleeve and shook it back and forth, looking very coquettish. state.
Baxiu shook his head like a rattle.
But at Baxiu, things didn't go so smoothly.
Hua Zhuo laughed and pulled his sleeve out of her hand, saying, "Even if you get married, you can still stay with me like Qiqiao." Unless Baxiu married out of the house, otherwise she just wanted to leave. I won’t let it go either.

Baxiu shook his head like a rattle.
Hua Zhuo said nothing, looking at Baxiu's red face, thinking that this girl was not really thinking about Dr. Xu, so he couldn't help but glance at Qiqiao, wondering what Qiqiao found out from her mouth.
Hua Zhuo was clearly supporting Qiqiao. If it weren't for the fact that Yuexiang was new here and had never learned the rules before, she would have scolded her on the spot.
"I don't want to marry anyone. I will serve the lady and never marry anyone in my life."
"I have a bad appetite today, Qiqiao, please give it a try."
Yuexiang was suddenly so angry that her chest felt tight. As a result, her busy work could no longer serve Qiqiao.
"No need to serve tea. We have two shops to go to soon. Shopkeeper Jin Fu, let me pick out a few baskets of fruits. I wonder which fruits are fresher in the shops now?" Hua Zhuo said calmly.
