Chapter 45 Accident

"I hope Brother Zhang can agree that the Zhang and Liu families will become the friendship between Qin and Jin from now on." Liu Laoshi said to Zhang Boliang like this.

At this time, Liu Yiuan saw the curtain of the inner compartment move, and his two bright and flawless eyes were revealed, and he secretly looked at the living room. After touching Liu Yiu's gaze, he hid timidly.

It was Zhang Chuchu. Liu Yi smiled in his heart, and a little girl appeared in her mind, lying in the gap in the door curtain to peek at her future husband. It seemed that Zhang Chuchu was also unwilling to marry someone she had never met before.

Liu Yi didn't say a word about the engagement because he didn't interrupt. In ancient times, engagements were always decided by his parents. Liu Yi came here today to showcase the decoration for Lao Zhang and his family. Of course, this also includes Zhang Chuchu behind the curtain.

Zhang Boliang took a sip of tea and said apologetically: "Brother Liu, I, Lao Zhang, agree with the engagement between the two families of Liu, but if we want us to accept the betrothal gift, it depends on how talented Nephew Liu is."

Zhang Boliang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not hiding it from Brother Liu, my little girl is naughty. She once learned a piece of poetry and books from her child. She thought she had some ink in her heart, so she didn't take ordinary men to heart. The little girl had made great ambitions at the age of fourteen. She would not marry if she was not a talented land in this life, and those who were talented under her would not marry. Otherwise, she would not obey. I know that women are strong and dare not force them, so her marriage will be delayed until today."

Unexpectedly, why have you never heard of this kind of thing before? No wonder the third aunt said it was not easy to marry the daughter of the Zhang family. It turned out that there was still this one. Lao Liu stayed for a long time before asking: "Brother Zhang, although Sanyuan County is not big, there are many knowledgeable lands, and there are even more young talents. Could it be that no one in the past two years can surpass Ling Yuan in talent and learning?"

Zhang Boliang shook his head and said, "In terms of talent and academic studies, my son Chu Wen even considered himself not as good as his sister, let alone other playboys. To be honest, Brother Liu, before you, thirty-two families had already sent betrothal gifts. However, they all left unhappily."

"This is such a strange thing, why have you never heard of it before?" Old Liu glanced at Liu Yi. He knew that Liu Yi was a little talented, but he wanted to compare with some talented men in Sanyuan County, especially Zhang Chuwen, who had passed the provincial examination. Can he do it?

"Those talented men are extremely demanding of face, so they naturally won't say this on their own. And our Zhang family also has to take into account the reputation of their little girl, so they naturally didn't dare to reveal it to the outside world." In fact, Zhang Boliang didn't say anything, that is, if this matter is spread, who dares to propose marriage again? Will their daughter still marry?

After glanced at the eyes that appeared again after the curtains, Liu Yi had a conspiracy. Isn’t this Qiao Duan, a talented woman who often plays on TV? He stood up from the chair, bowed to Zhang Boliang, and asked, “Dare you ask Uncle Zhang, how did Miss Zhang make the knowledge of the people above her?”

"Nephew Liu Xian, please sit down." Zhang Puliang smiled and signaled Liu Yi to sit down, saying, "The little girl only gave three questions, and answered them with each talented man who came to hire. If all answered correctly, she could be her husband. However, in the past two years, no one has been able to answer one of them. Nephew Liu Xian, please be prepared."

Liu Yi smiled meaninglessly and said, "I will do my best to my best because of Uncle Zhang's concern." After that, he turned around and shouted at the curtain of the inner compartment, "So, please ask Miss Chuchu to give a question?"

Wufeng swayed the curtain on his own, and Liu Yi knew that it was Zhang Chuchu who had entered.

After a while, a white little hand handed out a piece of paper. Zhang Chuwen walked up to take it, and then took it with Liu again.

Liu Yi took the paper and saw a small calligraphy line with silk on it, and wrote: "The first question: I get lotus root because of lotus?"

"Tong word?" Liu Yi frowned, remembering a pair he had seen before, "Lotus seed is bitter in his heart, Li'er's belly is hollow." It was written by a father who was about to be sentenced to death. It was also a couplet of Tong word, "Lian" is the same as "Li", "Li" is the same as "Father". After reading it through, it turned into "Lotus seed is bitter in his heart, Li'er's belly is hollow."

Let’s look at this again. I got borrowed because of lotus? It is obviously the connection between "lood" and "he", and "borrow" and "o" are connected. This is someone asking him: Liu Yi, why did you get borrowed? What a wonderful thought, a domineering tone. No wonder so many people are stumped.

Liu Yi began to get a little interested in Zhang Chuchu.

First, in the ancient environment where men were superior to women, they mustered up the courage to choose their husbands, and then asked such tricky and strange questions, this woman was extraordinary.

Liu Yi asked Zhang Chuwen to come and write inkstone. He closed his eyes and thought for a while. He picked up the pen and wrote under the question: If there is apricot, there is no need for plums! After that, he handed it to Zhang Chuwen directly and signaled him to hand it in.

Zhang Chuwen was thinking about what his sister's strange question meant, and how would he answer if he was Liu Yi. Seeing Liu Yi bring the paper over, he was stunned at first and answered so quickly?

He reached out to take the paper and looked at it, "Do you get lotus roots because of lotus? Apricots don't need plums!" After thinking lightly, Zhang Chuwen suddenly realized it, and his footsteps that had just moved stopped again, turned around and bowed respectfully to Liu Yi, saying, "Mr. Liu, please bow to Xiaosheng!"

"Oh~" Liu Yiu quickly moved aside and said, "What does Brother Chu Wen mean? Yiu can't bear it."

Zhang Chuwen stood up straight and looked at Liu Yi with admiration and said, "Mr. Liu can see the article hidden in this sentence in such a short time and make corresponding answers. Chu Wen is deeply admired. Mr. Liu deserves Chu Wen's worship."

"Brother~!" A crisp sound came from the inner chamber, and it sounded like a nightingale coming out of the valley, a clear spring falling on jade. It sounded very nice.

"Oh!" Zhang Chu patted his forehead when he heard the sound, and then remembered what he was going to do. He picked up Liu Yi's answer sheet and walked into the inner wing. He said, "Don't worry, my brother will bring it to you now!"

The curtain trembled, as if he was blaming Zhang Chuwen for speaking directly.

Zhang Chuwen handed the paper in. After waiting for a long time, he did not respond. He didn't know if it was passed. Seeing Liu Yi standing there calmly and without any intention of being anxious, Zhang Chuwen couldn't help but feel amazed again.

About half a moment later, there was finally movement behind the door curtain, and the snow-white little hand stretched out again.
