The door creaked and was pushed open, with a bit of urgency, and even forgot to knock on the door.

Jiang Ziyan pre-empted the attack, pretending to teach a lesson: "Why are you in such a hurry? This is the magistrate's wife, Ah Zhao, come and see me."

Lin Zhao knew that this was euphemistically saying that he was not polite when entering the door, so he said kindly, "Hello, madam."

Jiang Ziyan said to Mrs. Wu again: "Azhao is not very polite, please forgive me, Madam."

"It's okay." Mrs. Wu couldn't say anything if she acted like this, but she didn't expect that she was a scholar after all, and her actions seemed a bit reckless, not at all as prudent as the master said.

"Coincidentally, Ah Zhao just came over, why don't you ask his opinion, madam?"

Lin Zhao's parents were not there, so it was reasonable to ask him himself.

Mrs. Wu said: "Just now I was talking about your marriage with your elder brother. My niece of my mother's family is about the same age as you, and our master is full of praise for you, so I wanted to be a matchmaker. You just came here. You how about?"

Lin Zhao was originally seated next to Jiang Ziyan, but when he heard the words, he got up and stood up, then put his hands in front of him, bent down and saluted, and said, "Madam, I'm sorry, but I can't agree to this marriage."

When Mrs. Wu heard that Lin Zhao refused flatly and didn't give her face at all, her complexion instantly sank.

She said: "What do you mean, do you think my niece from my natal family is not good enough for you?"

Lin Zhao is still in vain now. Although he took the first place in the two exams, he did not pass the college exam and still does not have the reputation of a scholar. If he married this marriage, it would be equivalent to getting a relationship with the county magistrate.With the contacts of the county magistrate, the road to the imperial examination will be easier in the future, which is much better than no one's help now.

When Mrs. Wu came, she was very confident. She was [-]% sure that the other party would agree, but she didn't expect to meet a soft nail with Jiang Ziyan and a hard nail with Lin Zhao. She was very unhappy.

Lin Zhao could also see that her complexion was not good, and he was afraid that she would go back and have a good time with Wu County Magistrate and trip up his brother's restaurant, so he explained: "Ma'am, Zhao didn't mean that. In fact, Zhao already has someone in his heart." In this life, it is he who will not marry, so I cannot accept the marriage you mentioned."

As soon as he finished speaking, not only Mrs. Wu looked up at him, but Jiang Ziyan also turned to look at him with a surprised look on his face.

Ah Zhao has someone in mind?Which girl is it?Why doesn't he know?

Apart from studying, Ah Zhao usually clings to him, how could he suddenly have someone in his heart?

Jiang Ziyan thought that after Mrs. Wu left, he had to ask him carefully. In his opinion, Lin Zhao was still young, and it was not suitable for dating at this time. In his perception, puppy love would affect his studies. For his fame, he I feel that I should persuade him when I look back.

Mrs. Wu was also a little surprised. She didn't expect Lin Zhao to have someone in her heart, but why didn't Jiang Ziyan tell him just now?

However, when she saw the surprised expression on Jiang Ziyan's face, she understood that Lin Zhao had hidden his sweetheart from his elder brother. It seems that the relationship between the two brothers is not so good!

"Is what you said true?" Mrs. Wu was dubious.

"It's true. Master Wu values ​​me so much, how can I deceive you. Even if I agree to this marriage, I can't pretend to be someone else in my heart. This is also a great pain for your niece. The two love each other Yue, happiness lasts forever, what does Madam think?"

This is true, Mrs. Wu felt it.She has a very good relationship with County Magistrate Wu, and the two have been happy until now, with a harmonious family and a happy life.Besides, her niece from her natal family is close to her, and she doesn't want her to be unhappy in the future.

"Okay, then I'm the one who interrupted you today, so just pretend I didn't mention it." After all, this matter didn't work out, and if it spread, it would damage the reputation of my daughter's family.

"Ma'am, don't worry, this matter will not be spread."

Shopkeeper Xu is a tight-lipped person. If Lin Zhao, the person concerned, hadn't asked him just now, he would definitely not have revealed anything.

Mrs. Wu saw that it hadn't been done at this time, and was about to get up and leave, but Jiang Ziyan stopped her.

"Ma'am, although our Mrs. Ah Zhaohe's family does not have this fate, we have all come here and all the dishes are served. Why don't you leave after eating? It's all an apology to you. These are the signs of our shop. There are this pastry and milk tea, both taste good, would you like to try it?"

Jiang Ziyan took advantage of the situation to sell a wave of dishes from his own restaurant, and dispelled Mrs. Wu's displeasure today.

Don't talk about other dishes, just talk about this milk tea and pastries, Mrs. Wu likes it very much.

When it opened that day, Mrs. Wu brought back several pastries and milk tea, which she and her daughter liked very much.

And this milk tea has become popular throughout Qingping County in just a few days. With the continuous release of new milk tea products, the price has also increased a lot.

If she was asked to buy it every day, it would cost a lot of money in a month.

Madam Wu looked at the table full of exquisite dishes and pastries, she sat down again, and said, "Jiang Langjun is bothering you, if that's the case, then I'll leave after dinner."

The meal was finished with the company of Jiang Ziyan and Lin Zhao. After all, Lin Zhao just rejected her offer of marriage, so naturally she couldn't make her feel resentful.

At the end of the meal, Mrs. Wu was very satisfied. Some of the dishes were very suitable for her taste, and she also tasted the new flavor of milk tea.

After sending Mrs. Wu away, Jiang Ziyan and Lin Zhao were left in the room.

Jiang Ziyan was thinking about how to ask about Lin Zhao's sweetheart, but what Lin Zhao thought was that his growth rate was still too slow, and when he had the supreme status and power one day, then his brother would no longer have to deal with him. Looking at a little county magistrate's wife, she lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye.

When Lin Zhao pulled his mind away from his thoughts, he realized that Jiang Ziyan had been looking at him with strange eyes, hesitating to speak.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Being called out suddenly, Jiang Ziyan put down the cup in his hand, considered his words, and said, "Azhao, I really want to ask you something."

"Well, you said."

"It's just... you told Mrs. Wu just now that you already have a sweetheart, is it... a girl from which family?"

Jiang Ziyan was side-firing, planning to ask which girl it was from first, and decide whether to persuade him not to fall in love after seeing the specific situation.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhao's eyes were dark suddenly, and an emotion that Jiang Ziyan couldn't understand flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Brother, I don't have any sweetheart, I lied to her."

"Lied to her?"

"Well, if I don't say that, other excuses will make her feel unhappy because I look down on her niece. If she goes back and blows pillow with Mr. Wu, it will easily lead to bad business for you. thing."

"Just because of this?" Jiang Ziyan still didn't quite believe it, "Azhao, in fact, if you really have a sweetheart, you don't need to hide it from me. I won't interfere too much in your private affairs. The most I can do is to persuade you Focus on your studies."

"Brother, I really didn't lie to you."

Jiang Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't have a sweetheart, he didn't know why, but he didn't want Lin Zhao to go for someone else's cabbage at all.
