Chapter 172
When Xingzhu learned that Niu Dali came to Xu Qiuyue to propose marriage, she was confused.
Although she doesn't seem to care much about marriage.
But the message she received since childhood was that women must get married.
Xingzhu had been with Niu Dali for a while, and she didn't dislike him in her heart.
Niu Dali is Lu Yuan's subordinate, and she knows that Lu Yuan will definitely not object.
She looked at Xu Qiuyue, hesitating for a long time, and then said to Xu Qiuyue: "Madam, I haven't made up my mind yet, and I don't know whether I should marry Niu Dali."
"Xingzhu, if you don't want to, I haven't agreed to this marriage yet, but I can help you reject him.
It’s just that Niu Dali likes you. He said that if you marry him in the future, he will cook for you at home every day. Although I don’t know whether it’s true or not, he sounded sincere when he said it.
Think about it carefully and come back to me in three days. You don’t have to answer me immediately.
I hope you have made this decision after careful consideration.”
Xu Qiuyue could see that Xingzhu didn't dislike Niu Dali, so she wanted to give Xingzhu some time to think about it.
Xingzhu is not very old, only eighteen years old.
At this age, Xingzhu is still a little shy inside and there are some things that are difficult for her to say out loud.
Three days is just enough time for Xingzhu to think it over carefully.
"Thank you ma'am."
Xingzhu bowed to Xu Qiuyue and left.
Xingzhu's face turned red and she was very embarrassed.
She really didn't know what to say.
When Xu Qiuyue saw that Xing Zhu did not let her reject Niu Dali directly, she understood in her heart that Xing Zhu might really like Niu Dali a little.
After sending Xingzhu away, Xu Qiuyue said to Chunzhu who was standing beside her: "You and Xingzhu have known each other for a long time. I don't want to create any rift between you because of this incident. There are many men in this world. If he didn't like you, it's not your fault. It's because you haven't met the right person."
Chunzhu could no longer suppress his emotions at this moment.
Xingzhu was there just now, so she was trying hard to control her expression, for fear that Xingzhu would notice something wrong.
At this moment, she could no longer control herself. She cried to Xu Qiuyue and said, "But I will never meet someone like Niu County Magistrate again in my life."
Chunzhu was really upset. If she married Niu Dali, she would be the wife of a county lieutenant and an official. No one else could compare to her.
If he were a county lieutenant from another place, he would have some family background, and such a person would definitely not be willing to marry a maid as his wife.
Only Niu Dali was willing to marry a maid as his wife.
Moreover, she gets along quite well with Niu Dali. Niu Dali doesn't seem to be very smart, but he is an honest man and very capable. He is very strong and has great martial arts skills.
Chunzhu actually doesn't like those scholars. She doesn't have much literary talent and doesn't like to talk about those things.
She felt very comfortable and at ease with Niu Dali.
In the past, Chunzhu would not have dared to think about the county lieutenant's wife.
"In the future, Lu Yuan and I will return to the capital sooner or later. When the time comes, I will ask him to find you a partner in Taohua Town who knows you well. You can go home during the holidays. If you marry here, it will be difficult for you to see your family again in the future."
Xu Qiuyue comforted Chunzhu.
Chunzhu felt much better.
Xingzhu will never be able to return to Taohua Town again, but she can still go home to see her family.
Thinking of this, Chunzhu felt that losing the position of county lieutenant's wife was not so painful.
No, it still feels a little uncomfortable.
If I could marry Niu Dali, it would be nice to stay here.
She had already inquired about Niu Dali's family.
They are all from farming families, honest and simple, they won't bully others, and you won't suffer if you marry them. But the good stuff should stay in the family.
Xingzhu is her good sister.
"Madam, Xingzhu is my good sister. I will only be happy for her if she can marry well."
"It's great that you think this way. I'll give you a day off so you can have a good rest!"
"Ma'am, I don't need to rest."
"When you make money, you should spend it. Go out and have a good time. Girls should dress up beautifully. Recently, the shops outside have launched a new batch of accessories and rouge. Go take a good look!"
"Ma'am, you are so kind."
The sky suddenly turned cloudy in spring. I was so happy that I could have a holiday and go shopping.
However, Chunzhu quickly stopped smiling and whispered to Xu Qiuyue, "Madam, you have to be careful of Qiuxiang. She is not a good person and has big ambitions!"
Chunzhu originally had no substantial evidence and didn't want to complain to Xu Qiuyue.
Because once Xu Qiuyue finds out about this, there are many ways to deal with Qiuxiang.
There is still a world of difference between a master and a maid.
Chunzhu couldn't stand Qiuxiang, but he couldn't bear to treat her like that, so he kept silent.
But today, she felt that Xu Qiuyue was too good to her. As Xu Qiuyue's maid, it would not be good for her to keep these things hidden any longer.
"You should have confidence in your master. You should know what kind of woman he likes since you have been with him for so long."
"Uh-huh!"
Chunzhu nodded vigorously. Although she didn't know what kind of person Lu Yuan liked, she knew very well that Lu Yuan would not like Qiuxiang.
Because Lu Yuan had never liked a maid, and he had never touched a maid.
Lu Yuan is not a person who keeps himself clean.
But Lu Yuan had never touched the maids in the mansion.
And he is very stingy.
Lu Yuan said that if I became his concubine, I would no longer receive the monthly salary as a maid.
Because of Lu Yuan's stingy behavior, none of the maids in the mansion thought of marrying Lu Yuan.
Even she, was treated much better only after she followed Xu Qiuyue.
"Madam, you and the Lord have shared hardships together. This friendship cannot be compared with anyone else."
Chunzhu said to Xu Qiuyue.
Xu Qiuyue just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
Chunzhu skipped away.
man!
If there is no more, find another one.
Since Niu Dali doesn't like her, he will find another one.
Xu Qiuyue looked at Chunzhu's back and felt relieved.
She was worried that Chunzhu would hold a grudge against Xingzhu because of this, but it turned out that she was overthinking it.
Xu Qiuyue told Lu Yuan about this again.
Lu Yuan didn't care.
He taught Xingzhu personally, and he felt that Xingzhu was no worse than an ordinary rich girl.
However, he was also the one who taught Niu Dali. Although the teaching time was not long, Niu Dali was born with supernatural powers and mastered it quickly. His martial arts skills were even better than Xing Zhu's.
Niu Dali is talented, and his talent in martial arts is higher than Xing Zhu's.
So Lu Yuan felt that Xing Zhu and Niu Dali were quite a good match.
