Zhang Shou made up an excuse and asked Ah Liu to be responsible for considering and sending two gifts. He then tricked the young man into going to the Duke of Zhao's mansion to ask the lady for help and sent a smart and capable girl to assist. He was very confident that the lady would understand what he meant.
After all, he had good intentions. Ah Liu was about the same age as him, but with his stubborn personality and his eyes that turned a blind eye to beauty, if there was no external intervention, he would probably be alone in this life. Although Ah Liu seemed to obey Zhu Ying, even if there was another girl as beautiful and unique as Zhu Ying, the boy might not be tempted.
The reason why this young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes rebelled was because he was afraid that Zhang Shou would be alone forever. Since Ah Liu cared about him wholeheartedly, even if he couldn't arrange a marriage for someone, he could at least find a reliable person to help him make the match, right? At least it would help Ah Liu to open his mind!
So, under Zhang Shou's instigation, Ah Liu really went to see the lady in the middle of the night. The lady immediately understood Zhang Shou's intention and asked Mother Li to pick someone to "help" Ah Liu.
The best maids in the Zhaoguo Mansion always had a high opinion of themselves. Even if they had never thought of climbing into the bed of the master or the young master, it was a common idea to marry a capable steward, or to marry into a wealthy family outside after leaving the country. Therefore, for someone like Ah Liu, who was called a servant but actually often saw the emperor and the prince, he was naturally very popular with them.
The most important thing is that although Ah Liu is not as handsome as his young master Zhang Shou, he is very young. As for being said to be a dull guy, no one cares about that - after all, being too good-looking and having a gentle personality means that it is easy to attract many women. What's wrong with being an honest man
So, in two days, Ah Liu had four maids to accompany him shopping, all of whom were the most clever and capable maids in the Zhu family of the Duke of Zhao's mansion. Among them, Zhu Ying's Zhan Jin and Liu Yin were not even ranked. Although it was a good thing for a close-knit maid to marry a trusted follower in an official family, the lady planned to let other capable maids try more.
After all, Zhan Jin and Liu Yin had stayed in Rongshui Village for so long and had come into contact with Ah Liu a long time ago, so it seemed that they didn't have much fate.
However, facts have proved that no matter Zhang Shou's considerations, the goodwill of the lady, or those maids who were full of curiosity and wanted to know more about the famous Sixth Steward, when they met the blocky Ah Liu, it was not like steel meeting a softhearted person, but like a wink thrown at a blind man.
After visiting a lot of shops with four maids, Ah Liu quietly waited at the gate of Duke Zhao's mansion early in the morning. After waiting for more than an hour, he successfully intercepted Miss Zhu who was going out happily. When he suddenly jumped out, Zhu Hong and others who were accompanying him were all shocked, thinking that they had encountered an assassin.
But before they could react, Zhu Ying's reins were snatched away by the young man.
"Ah!" Zhu Ying was also startled and almost drew her sword. When she saw clearly that it was Ah Liu, she immediately said angrily, "Ah Liu, what are you doing? You almost scared me to death! If you want to see me, just tell me. Why did the cat suddenly appear here to scare people? Ah Shou doesn't seem to be in the palace giving a lecture to the prince today. He should be in the public school, right? Did he ask you to bring something to me?"
