How could such an autumn rain happen on the "auspicious" day predicted by Taoist Fufeng? Could it be that there is a disaster in the good fortune?

However, it was this rain that brought an unexpected turn for Lan Baixuan.

More and more pedestrians were hiding from the rain outside the door. Many people chose to come in to avoid the rain, sipping hot tea and enjoying exquisite snacks. Some even asked directly if they could stay overnight and continue their journey after the rain stopped.

The rain showed no sign of stopping, and the night grew darker. Unconsciously, more people gathered together, looking up at the gloomy sky, as if they all realized that they could not leave easily tonight.

Zhang Laoer and Xu Liyun exchanged a meaningful look again, and then smiled at each other. It turned out that today's good luck did not refer to the sunny sky, but the warmth and joy that the rain brought to the guests.

The reason why Hong Temple is so popular is probably due to this kind of unspoken understanding and fate.

As the night deepened, the guest rooms of Lan Baixuan gradually became full, especially the expensive Yun and Yue rooms, which were all booked overnight. For ordinary people, five taels of silver was definitely not a small sum of money for such luxury, and it needed to be carefully calculated.

However, what is amazing is that there really was a generous lady who booked a room to ensure her own safety and comfort.

Zhang Wuya, a thoughtful girl, never forgets about the operation of the kitchen. She is worried about whether the hotel can cope with the sudden increase in demand from guests, so she hurried to the kitchen.

And Fan Yunfu was like her shadow. No matter where she went, he would always follow her silently and be ready to help her at any time.

As the guests gradually returned to their rooms to rest, Xiao Youniang took advantage of this opportunity and sneaked into the kitchen, thinking about how to use those large pots to boil enough hot water for the guests to take a bath.

The freshness after the rain always makes people long for a comfortable hot bath.

After some checking, she found that the seven large pots in the kitchen were boiling water, and she immediately had an idea.

While no one was paying attention, she quietly went to the warehouse and decisively ordered fifty wooden barrels in case of emergency.

As soon as she finished dealing with this matter, she met Guiping who was wiping the table carefully in the corridor.

"Guiping, you and a few brothers move all these wooden barrels out. We will deliver hot water to the guests door to door later. Remember, start with the guests upstairs."

"Okay, Miss Zhang!"

In the early morning, the drizzle is still lingering, and the light rain gently hits the eaves, playing a melodious music in the rain.

It was a rainy day and a few young people had nothing to do, so they decided to walk to the teahouse opened by Fan Yunfu across the street. They sipped the fragrant tea, shared their stories, and enjoyed the tranquility and warmth unique to a rainy day.

Lingwei seemed particularly comfortable among this group of friends. There were no cumbersome etiquette constraints here, only pure friendship and warm care.

She loves this place and cherishes this hard-earned friendship even more.

Zhang Wuya and Ling Wei were chatting excitedly, while Fan Yunfu was staring at Zhang Wuya quietly, his eyes full of tenderness and affection.

The young girl at the side seemed to be infected by the warm atmosphere and suddenly asked, "Fan Yunfu, how old are you this year?"

Fan Yunfu smiled and replied, "I have completed the ceremony of coming of age."

"Weak crown...how old is that?"

Xiao Youniang was obviously not familiar with this elegant age title and seemed a little confused.

Ling Wei smiled softly, leaning close to Xiao Youniang's ear, and whispered, "Xiao Niang, a young crown is twenty years old."

"So that's it!"

Xiao Youniang suddenly realized what was going on, and out of curiosity she asked again, "You are already twenty and still haven't gotten married. Aren't your family members urging you to get married?"

Pingyang Hou, who was standing by, nodded in agreement, his eyes full of sympathy.

"Oh, my wife is really worried. When we were in Beijing, she always advised you to consider your lifelong affairs. After we came to Chengguan County, she kept sending me letters, asking me to remind you to get married and start a family as soon as possible!"

Pingyang Hou sighed and continued, "But from what I have observed, the Lord is particularly concerned about the eldest daughter of the Zhang family. I have already reported all this in detail to my wife. My wife believes that the Lord is truly in love with her, and she specifically asked me to assist the Lord with all my strength to promote this beautiful marriage."

"But in the final analysis, marriage is a lifelong event, how can it be decided lightly? Although my family is anxious, marriage is about mutual affection and cannot be forced."

As Fan Yunfu spoke, his eyes unconsciously drifted towards Zhang Wuya again, his eyes full of tenderness and affection that could not be concealed.

Ling Wei immediately clapped her hands and agreed, "Mr. Zhang said it very well, I think so too. Although there is some truth in what parents often say, 'Men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough,' if we just get married blindly, what should we do if the future life is not satisfactory?"

Zhang Wuya picked up the teacup and took a sip, her expression calm and profound, as if she had her own unique insights into such discussions.

After hearing this, Xiao Youniang suddenly had an idea and asked Lingwei half-jokingly: "Lingwei, will your parents let you go on a blind date?"

Ling Wei smiled slightly, nodded first, and then shook her head: "There has been such a proposal, but I am not happy about it. I hope to meet someone who shares the same mind. Young lady, I think you must also hope that your marriage is a sincere choice, not just to follow tradition, right?"

"Hmm... probably!"

Xiao Youniang's voice trembled slightly, and as she coughed inadvertently because of the tea, a blush appeared on her cheeks. Oh, this question really caught her off guard.

In her daily life, she never tires of sharing interesting stories and gossip about her elder sister. As for her own lifelong event, it always seems to slip away quietly in the trivial daily life and she has never really taken it to heart.

Ling Wen watched all this silently from the side, his eyes deep, as if he could see into the deepest part of people's hearts.

He secretly swore in his heart that even if this feeling was not reciprocated, he would transform himself into the unknown guardian, protecting her for the rest of her life and not allowing any wind or rain to disturb her in the slightest.

......

And in a corner of Xiangmanlou, a discussion about Lan Baixuan quietly spread.

Yesterday, the store owner specially sent people to snoop around. As a result, he not only found out that almost all the stores around Lan Baixuan have close ties with the Zhang family, but also realized that he was particularly lonely on this street.

This feeling is like being the only isolated island in a bustling ocean, full of surprise and a little regret.

"Boss, have you heard? Yesterday, Lan Bai Xuan opened, and the wife of the county magistrate of Tianyuan County came to congratulate us in person! This morning, I saw the county magistrate's daughter also staying there as a guest!"

A waiter excitedly reported to the shopkeeper, with a gossipy gleam in his eyes.
