Chapter 84 Xiaosheng's Heart is Happy
Early the next morning.

Because there was something exciting to watch today, Jiang Zhao got up early and dragged Simu Bai and the others back to the shop over the old house.

After ordering something to eat, there were several pairs of eyes on the corner of the street, hoping that Mr. Qi would come over soon so that they could see the excitement sooner.

Those who have the same idea as them are the common people in the vicinity.

Thanks to Jiang Zhao and the others getting up early, otherwise there wouldn't even be a place to sit in the store.

The people who came from behind could only squat aside with their bowls of soybean milk, watching eagerly for Mr. Qi to appear soon.

And those who came late didn't even have breakfast, so they could only lean against the corner and discuss with the people next to them occasionally.

"Do you think Mr. Qi will come today? It's so late and I haven't seen anyone."

"That Mr. Qi is extremely infatuated, and he will definitely come today."

"I don't know for sure. What's so good about that female number one scholar? If she spends all day with men, she can still be innocent. Only Mr. Qi is blind to fall in love with her."

"If you want me to say that Mr. Qi is also infatuated, otherwise it would be impossible for such a corrupt woman to marry in this life."

"In this life? I don't think she will be able to marry in the next life."

……

Everyone was looking forward to the appearance of Mr. Qi, while discussing Jiang Zhao's womanhood.

However, some people argued for Jiang Zhao.

"If the female No. [-] scholar can be the No. [-] scholar in the examination, then her talent must not be inferior to that of a man. Her articles and poems are crowned with men in the capital."

"What's the use of reading poems, books and articles? You see, which family marries a wife depends on talent. It all depends on whether the married woman is virtuous or not, and whether she can do it."

"That's right, marrying a wife and a virtuous man, what are you doing home with such a champion woman? It's an eyesore when you go home."

"An eyesore? Then someone has to be willing to marry her. No one is willing to marry her. What's an eyesore?"

"Who said, this is not a ready-made one."

……

One of them had read Jiang Zhao's poems and articles, and believed that Jiang Zhao's talent was by no means weaker than that of men.

But as soon as he made an excuse, everyone was angry, and those who wanted to stand up for Jiang Zhao didn't dare to speak again.

But it is also true that Jiang Zhao is qualified as a literati, and it can even be said to be excellent, but as a woman, they cannot accept a woman showing her face outside.

Jiang Zhao herself didn't care. If she really argued with these people, she would be really stupid.

After a while, Mr. Qi finally came slowly from the corner of the street on a tall horse, accompanied by the sound of drums and music, under the expectation of everyone.

Those people have probed in that direction.

"Look, look, look, it's finally here."

"I thought Mr. Qi wouldn't come today."

"This Mr. Qi is really persevering."

"What is perseverance, people call it infatuation."

……

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, Mr. Qi reined in the horse at the gate yesterday.

Mr. Qi didn't say anything today, anyway, so many people have noticed it now.

What happened yesterday, after one night, must have spread throughout the city.

The matchmaker knocked on the door and said the same thing as yesterday.

The only difference from yesterday was that the door that was closed yesterday was slowly opened today, and there was a "squeak——".

A man dressed as a servant came out from inside, looking at the matchmaker who knocked on the door, he asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Not far away, Jiang Zhao looked at the opened door and looked at Si Mubai suspiciously.

"How did this house sell so quickly?"

Si Mubai made a fool of himself and said, "You will know after reading it later."

Jiang Zhao didn't know what was going on, so he had to keep reading.

The matchmaker over there answered the boy's question: "My young master is the son of the household servant of the court, and I still admire your girl."

"Today, I brought three letters and six appointments to the appointment, and I hope the master's family can come out and see."

When the boy heard that it was the son of the servant of the household department who came to hire him in person, he was taken aback and hurriedly said.

"Everyone here later, I will go to ask our boss for instructions."

After the little servant Jiang Zhao closed it, he trotted all the way to ask his boss for instructions.

When the host heard that someone was coming to propose marriage, he hurriedly went out to meet him.

The main door opened, and a young man who thought he was dressed in brown came out, cupping his hands.

"The villain doesn't know that the son of the servant of the household department will be here today, and I am far away from welcoming you. I hope you will understand."

The matchmaker looked at the man and asked, "Dare to ask who this young master is?"

The man smiled and said, "The villain Jiang Wenbin."

When Mr. Qi heard that he was also surnamed 'Jiang', he should be a relative of Jiang Zhao's family, so he said.

"Xiaosheng Qi Zixuan, the son of the servant of the household department, fell in love with Miss Jiang from your mansion at first sight in Jingshui Tower, but accidentally bumped into her, causing her to lose her reputation."

"In order to make amends and express Xiaosheng's determination, Xiaosheng came here today to propose marriage, and hoped that Mr. Jiang would betroth his younger sister to Xiaosheng."

Qi Zixuan only thought that Jiang Wenbin was Jiang Zhao's eldest brother, so that Jiang Wenbin could marry Jiang Zhao to him, so he lowered his posture very low.

When Jiang Wenbin heard that someone was willing to marry his younger sister, he quickly invited Qi Zixuan in.

When the two came to the hall, Jiang Wenbin said: "The villain's parents died when he was young, and only the villain and his sister were left to depend on each other."

"Dare to ask Mr. Qi, but do you really want to marry my younger sister?"

Seeing that his plan was about to succeed, Qi Zixuan hurriedly assured him: "The sincerity of Xiaosheng can be learned from the sun and the moon."

"I also hope that Mr. Jiang can cut off his love and marry his younger sister to Xiaosheng. Xiaosheng promises that this life will treat her like a treasure."

When Jiang Wenbin heard Qi Zixuan's assurance, he only thought that he could really treat his sister well, so he agreed to such a marriage.

But his consent is useless, the elders in the family need to agree.

"Although I am happy that Mr. Qi is my sister-in-law and husband-in-law, there are still elders in the family who need to report, and I hope Mr. Qi can wait a few more days."

"After I write the book and go back to Baofang County, tell the elders of the clan, can I answer Mr. Yu?"

As soon as Qi Zixuan heard about this place in Baofang County, he was even more sure that this was Jiang Zhao's house.

Qi Zixuan said with a smile: "It's natural, such a major event must be approved by the elders in the family."

"However, Xiaosheng is eager to marry Miss Jiang, and I hope Mr. Jiang will return to me quickly."

Jiang Wenbin nodded: "Naturally, I will write a book today and go back to my hometown. I think I will get a reply soon."

"As soon as the reply letter arrives, I will send someone to inform Young Master Qi as soon as possible."

Qi Zixuan agreed with a smile. He thought it would be very difficult to marry Jiang Zhao, but he didn't expect to pass it so smoothly.
