Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 198 Thoughts
Xu Qingmeng told Zhou Yuanjia about the lawsuit she had filed against him. It was her so-called cousin who wanted to take advantage of him because he had passed the imperial examination and become a scholar, but she refused immediately.

That's why this incident happened.

Xinting listened attentively. "That's the situation. It's obvious that Zhou Yuanjia also likes you. You... think about it."

Xinting looked up and said, "Auntie, what do you think?"

Xinting wanted to know Xu Qingmeng's opinion. Although she also had feelings for him, she felt that she didn't know him well enough, and Zhou Yuanjia was just a scholar.

Xu Qingmeng thought for a long time: "Young Master Zhou is a good person. However, your uncle said that he was rather playful before, but after this incident, it can be seen that he is still clear-headed and did not do anything foolish because of any so-called instructions from his elders. Also, he was able to give up his playfulness for you and work hard to pass the imperial examination to become a scholar. I think he felt that he did not want to fall too far behind your uncle, otherwise he would not have the face to come and propose marriage. I think he will restrain his nature even more after marriage."

"Besides these, this person is also cheerful, loves making friends, and is generous in his dealings. Of course, I'm not saying this because he saved me. This young master Zhou is good in terms of family background, knowledge, and character."

Xinting hesitated, "But...Auntie, my mother..."

Xinting also had feelings for Zhou Yuanjia. At first, she didn't think he would be interested in her, but considering his age and his refined and handsome appearance, she was attracted to him.

Although they didn't have much contact, after seeing each other many times, and seeing Zhou Yuanjia's hesitant speech and blushing face whenever she looked at him, she thought he was quite cute.

She would often come to Jinxiuxuan to buy snacks, and each time she would stare at her for a long time, but she didn't dare to talk to her. Once, when Madam Chen saw this, she secretly asked her if he liked her.

Xinting recalled that she had a smile on her face for a whole week, but then she thought of her mother and felt that it wouldn't work. Aunt Zhou and Accountant Zhou were both very good people.

Later, I heard that Zhou Yuanjia had passed the imperial examination and achieved a very good ranking, so I put that thought aside. Later, I heard that he was injured, and I really wanted to go and see him, but I felt it was inappropriate, so I gave up. Later, I was relieved to find out that he was alright.

She was happy when Mrs. He told her last night, but this morning, as soon as she arrived at the shop, she heard people gossiping. For a moment, she felt sad, but thankfully…

Xu Qingmeng looked at Xinting, who was silent, her face sometimes full of smiles and sometimes very disappointed. She knew that Xinting was happy, but she was hesitant because she knew that.

She was afraid she wasn't good enough for Zhou Yuanjia!
“Xinting, you’re doing great. Don’t worry about anything else. The Zhou family knows about everything at home. They haven’t hidden anything from you. Besides, my Xinting is getting better and better. If you’re talking about not being good enough for you, I actually think he’s the one who’s not good enough for you. If he hadn’t passed the exam this time, I wouldn’t have been happy about it.” Xu Qingmeng patted her head.

Hearing Xu Qingmeng's affirmation, Xinting said firmly, "Auntie, I like Mr. Zhou, but I don't want to leave you either."

"Don't worry, Young Master Zhou is also going to the prefectural city with us, and Aunt Zhou said she wants to buy the courtyard next to ours."

"Really?"

"Ah."

Xinting suddenly felt, "That's wonderful!"
"Alright, go to sleep. I'm going back to sleep too."

"it is good."

Meanwhile, Zhou Yuanjia couldn't sleep at home. He was afraid that Xinting didn't believe him. Knowing this, he took the matter to the authorities. Otherwise, if rumors spread, he would really be devastated.

Lying in bed, tossing and turning.

Xu Qingmeng returned to the house and spoke with Gu Yunyi.

"Based on my previous understanding of him, this matter wouldn't have escalated to this point. I guess he would have brought that cousin back. But after today's incident, he's still a sensible person who didn't act rashly and is responsible. It's worth it for us to be friends."

"Hmm, judging from the fact that he didn't abandon us in the face of life and death, he can't be a bad person. I thought, based on what you said, that he was a playful person, but now it seems we don't need to worry." "Hmm, go to sleep."

Finally, Gu Yunyi added, "The gentleman said he would be back in August, but it's almost October now and he still hasn't returned. I wonder where he went."

"Didn't you say before that Mr. Shen loves mountains and rivers? He has students all over the world. Perhaps something has delayed him. Don't worry, just wait a little longer."

"You're feeling much better now, so take the time to visit some friends. We don't even know if we'll be back for the New Year after this trip."

The next day, Aunt Zhou came to the door. She first sounded out Mrs. He's opinion, and when she saw that Mrs. He nodded, she immediately smiled so broadly that she couldn't stop smiling.

"Alright, alright, then I'll go back and bring that silly boy to propose marriage?" Aunt Zhou said cheerfully.

"Isn't this too fast?"

"No, no, no, if we don't settle things soon, what will we do if such a wonderful girl is already engaged?"

Looking at Aunt Zhou, Madam He said, "Although Xinting is my daughter-in-law's niece, I consider her family. So, the proper betrothal, marriage ceremony, and wedding gifts are indispensable."

"Do you even need to tell me that!"

Although both parties agreed, Zhou Yuanjia still planned to talk to Xinting first, since it was a big deal for both of them.

The two talked for a while in the courtyard. It's unclear what they talked about, but judging from the smile on Zhou Yuanjia's face, it's easy to guess.

Zhou Yuanjia spoke with Xinting, and then took Aunt Zhou back home without staying long.

The next morning, Zhou's mother and Zhou Yuanjia arrived. He knew that the Zhou family would be coming today, so the restaurant was not open for business.

Early in the morning, as soon as Madam He opened the door, she saw Zhou's mother and Zhou Yuanjia arrive.

"Sister Zhou, come inside quickly, come inside quickly."

"Take your time, wait a moment."

Wait a little longer?
Anyone else?
Before He could react, Huang Boyang, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, arrived with his men.

He said with a smile, "I've successfully found the person for you. You mustn't let me down."

The woman next to Huang Boyang was short and plump. She squinted when she smiled, and there were many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was wearing a floral jacket, and He Shi recognized her very well.

She was a famous matchmaker in Quan County.

She started matchmaking when she was young, and all the couples she helped had harmonious marriages. However, now that she's older, she rarely acts as a matchmaker anymore.

Mrs. He clearly hadn't expected that this Wang Mama would personally come to arrange the marriage.

"No wonder the magpies were chirping so early in the morning! It must be some big happy occasion!" said Wang's mother as soon as she came up, and the onlookers burst into laughter.

However, there was much discussion. It seems that Wang Mama is now casually acting as a matchmaker, which means the Zhou family is quite satisfied with Gu Niangzi's niece!
