Chapter 9
It wasn't until Zhou Xining was out of sight when he left the house that the old woman turned her gaze back to He Beiting who was standing at the corner not far away.

He Beiting stepped forward quickly, supported the old man's arm and said, "I've made grandma suffer."

Mrs. He said with a smile: "The girl who can make my A Zhao open the door of the mansion, grandma will always come to have a look."

"Grandmother..." He Beiting looked embarrassed.

"This is the girl from the Zhou family, right? Grandma remembers the last time she saw her, she was just such a big milk doll. In the blink of an eye, she has grown into a big girl, and she is ready to marry." Mrs. He raised her hand beside her Looking sideways, with a kind smile on his face.

Yes, she has grown into a big girl who can marry, but...

He Beiting lowered his eyes to hide the sadness in his eyes, and said, "Grandmother, today is different. She is now the only direct daughter of Zhou's family. When will it be our family's turn to marry?"

Mrs. He sighed, then smiled and patted He Beiting's hand and said: "Grandmother knows, grandma just wants you to marry grandma a granddaughter-in-law and come back earlier, if grandma can't see you marrying a wife and having children, she will be ashamed Go see your grandfather. Even your parents and grandma would be ashamed to see you."

He would not marry anyone except Zhou Xining, but his grandmother was not in good health, so He Beiting could only fool him with words, "Grandmother, grandson will send you back to rest first, there is no rush to marry a wife."

"Okay, grandma knows you have a lot of things to do, so grandma won't rush you."

……

Zhou family, Chunwu Courtyard.

It wasn't until she returned to Chunwu Courtyard and sat at the table with tea in her hands that Zhou Xining realized that her real business of going to the He family was forgotten by her.

go again?It's a bit...

When Zhou Xining lowered his eyes and was entangled in annoyance, Liandong opened the food box brought back from He's house, the expression on his face changed every time he took out a piece, and when he saw the bottom sesame candy, he stared round in amazement .

"Chestnut Cake..."

"Sesame candy..."

……

"It's actually a girl's favorite food. It's really... a coincidence."

Zhou Xining put down his teacup and walked over, picked up a sesame candy and threw it into his mouth, the smell...

He took another one and put it in his mouth, then Zhou Xining smiled.

Seeing the smile on her girl's face, Liandong also took one and put it in her mouth, after a snort, she blurted out: "Sesame candy from Furongfang..."

Zhou Xining motioned to Liandong: "Try that chestnut cake again."

"Li Ji's chestnut cake..."

……

Liandong's eyes lit up, the He family was a bit interesting.Not only do you know what the girl likes, but you also know which one you like the most.

"Lonicera, I'm afraid you have to go to He's house again." Zhou Sining said, looking into Liandong's shining eyes.

Liandong asked: "Return the food box?"

"Return the food box, how will your girl come to the door next time?" Zhou Xining raised his eyebrows and smiled wantonly, showing his small white teeth.

"Why don't you ask for another sesame candy, and ask him by the way..."

The corner of Lonicera's mouth twitched, girl, how are you doing?Knowing that it is not easy to catch up with the sesame candy in Furongfang and grab it, is it possible that someone will make a copy for you out of thin air?And won't she be beaten to death on the spot after she said what she asked?
Although Liandong felt that her daughter was a bit capricious, she still left the house and went to the He family as she said.

Half an hour later, Lonicera came back.

"He Shizi said that the He family didn't make too much. Since the girl likes it, he will order to go down and make a new one, and send it to the girl later."

Zhou Xining blinked, "It's not like what He Beiting would say."

Liandong spread her hands, "Well, the maidservant of He Shizi feared that the girl would find it hard to bear, so she edited it a bit. The original words are... no more, the new one is time-consuming, so please walk slowly."

Zhou Xining looked at Liandong's face that made me feel so troubled, suppressed a smile and continued to ask: "Then you can ask me the question? How did he say it?"

Liandong glanced at her own girl, then lowered her eyes and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I've let your girl down, I, He Beiting, won't get rid of my clan and leave Beijing even if I get insane."

Zhou Xining lowered his eyes and sighed silently, he must have lost his mind, otherwise, how could he stick to a hopeless marriage contract and leave the capital without family and everything.

After Liandong finished speaking, she stole a glance at her girl without saying a word, and she was relieved to see her expression was safe, but she felt that she was too safe, so she said tentatively: "When the servant girl returned, he was just in time to catch up with Wang Jiang. Lou’s roast duck is out of the oven..."

"Roast duck? Remember to simmer the soup on a duck rack, put green vegetables and vermicelli on it. Divide the sliced ​​duck meat into three parts, send one part to Jinyuan for father and mother, one part to Zuiyue hall for grandfather, and one part for Zuiyue hall. I'll keep two volumes, and share the rest with you."

Seeing her girl arrange the entire roast duck without blinking her eyes, Liandong was completely relieved.But she still has to make another trip to Wangjiang Tower.

After dinner, Zhou Xining sat on the couch outside and read his travel notes as usual, with a cup of hot tea and a plate of snacks on the small table at hand.In the saving plate were various small snacks brought back from He's house during the day, and chestnut cakes were placed in the center, so that Zhou Xining could take them from time to time.

"Girl, I've used two pieces of chestnut cake, three drunken dates, and one sesame candy before. If I continue to use it, my teeth will be broken." Just when Zhou Xining reached out to take the second sesame candy, honeysuckle Slip away the savings plate.

"Understood, Sister Lonicera." Zhou Xining withdrew his hand and said deliberately pretending to be small.

"The servant girl is only 15 years old, why is she already a nanny?" Liandong protested while refilling Zhou Xining's tea.

Zhou Xining put down the book, looked at Liandong with a smile and said: "You said you would always follow me from a maidservant to a nanny, didn't you forget?"

The corner of Lian Dong's mouth twitched, "There is a lady in the middle, the servant girl is still far away from the mother, the girl is too impatient."

"That's right. I'll ask He Beiting the next time I see him. If he has a suitable attendant by his side, I'll let you change from a maidservant to a lady first."

"The servant girl is still young and doesn't want to marry. Even if she gets married when she is old, she should be a servant in the uncle's mansion. How can she become He Shizi's attendant?" Liandong's eyes widened suddenly, with a frightened expression on her face. Looking at his own girl, "Girl, you can't be..."

After closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths, Liandong said again: "Young lady must not talk about it anymore. When the girl's status reaches, she will not be able to marry independently. If this spreads even a little bit, wouldn't it be You have tarnished your reputation in vain."

"You don't need to be independent." Zhou Xining said: "I made a marriage contract with He Beiting when I was four years old. Here, this sapphire is the engagement token."

"Girl mean... He Shizi is the future uncle?" Liandong was really shocked, "But..."
