"How did you become a concubine?"

"Didn't you say you're marrying the Wang family's daughter?"

"I was originally discussing marriage with the Wang family, but I didn't expect that after the county magistrate came, he fell in love with a good woman in the town and wanted to marry her if she wanted to."

"What happened later?"

"What else can you do? The family doesn't agree. How can you be a wife without money or power? In the end, both sides took a step back and agreed to the woman entering the door. She only had to wait until the county magistrate and Miss Wang got married before she could take her as a concubine."

"I saw that Miss Wang's family is well-educated and elegant, and she looks so beautiful. Who has the ability to steal people from her?"

"I heard that it is the daughter of the owner of the grocery store on Donghua Street, that girl..."

"ah!"

With a scream, the two of them subconsciously took a step back.

It turned out that while they were chatting, a little head came over, slightly raised his fair face, and was listening to them with relish.

"So it's Fat Meow, it's scary!"

The woman patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

They always come to the market to set up stalls, right next to Li Xiaodao and his stall. They are also familiar with these children after a while.

"Why don't you go and help my brother sell boiled frogs?" The woman touched Fat Miao'er's head.

She remembered this cute and honest little girl. Every time she came, she would circumnate the stall like a little bee, especially when she was collecting money, she was very active.

"Brother and the others can be busy, they don't need me."

Fat Miao'er grinned, revealing her little white teeth, her eyes rolled, and she said curiously: "Auntie, what's the name of the family you just mentioned?"

"Which family?" the woman asked.

"It's the one that wants to marry the young master in the county to be his concubine!"

Fat Miaoer frowned. She was so familiar with the Donghua Street grocery store. Isn’t her uncle’s house running a grocery store on Donghua Street?

Sure enough! Her guess was confirmed the next second.

"I heard that his surname is Zhou, and his daughter is very handsome and looks one of the best in Qingyang Town."

The woman paused and said in surprise: "Fat Meow, why are you asking about this?"

"Auntie, I'm just curious and ask casually."

Fat Miao'er smiled sweetly, her eyes drooped, and she felt thoughtful.

...

Dashi Village.

A gorgeous carriage slowly appeared at the entrance of the village. A man and a woman sat side by side in the carriage. The woman frowned slightly and her fair and delicate face was full of sorrow.

"Ying'er, what's wrong? What's the matter?"

The man spread his arms, wrapped Zhou Ying into his arms, and asked softly.

He is the eldest son of the county magistrate's family, with his surname Lin and his name Yanzhao.

He was wearing a black satin robe, with the robe showing the edges of the silver hollow hibiscus flowers.

There is a cloud-patterned belt around the waist, and beautiful jade is inlaid in the middle of the belt.

He was so stern and handsome. He sat upright, and he had the aura of an official family.

"Brother Zhao, I..."

Zhou Ying's thin lips rose up lightly, but she wanted to speak but stopped.

"What else can't be said between you and me?"

Lin Yanzhao encouraged her, and her fingers stroked Zhou Ying's beautiful cheeks, and she couldn't let go of her love.

Zhou Ying leaned into his arms, and the whole bird was dependent on others and said softly: "I'm afraid that my grandparents will blame him."

"Although our Zhou family is a commoner, we also have family rules. We would rather be a poor wife than a rich concubine. From the beginning of our ancestors, the women of the Zhou family have never been concubines with others. Now..."

Zhou Ying's eyes were filled with tears, and she was about to cry.

It was the time of deep love. Lin Yanzhao felt so distressed when he saw it. He quickly comforted himself and said with a gentle voice: "It's all my fault. You are suffering this grievance for me."

"Ying'er, don't worry, although you can't give your wife a place, my heart is all on you. After entering the mansion, I will give you what Miss Wang's family has. I will definitely not let you suffer a loss and fall for the first time."

"Brother Zhao..."

Zhou Ying showed gratitude in her beautiful eyes, and she said softly: "You treat me so well!"

"Young Master, we're here!"

The servant's voice came, and the carriage stopped in front of Zhou's house.

Lin Yanzhao lifted the curtain and jumped down, turned around and held Zhou Ying, and ordered the servant and the servant to go to the car to get a gift and knock on the door.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

After three sounds, the door of the Zhou family opened.

"Who?"

Ma Shi's lazy voice came, and she raised her head and looked closely.

"Oh, it's Ying'er!" Ma's face was so happy that he was so enthusiastic that he directly pulled Zhou Ying's hand.

He asked intimately, "Where are your parents? Why didn't you come here?"

Zhou Ying frowned slightly, then stretched out again, clamped her voice and said slowly: "Second uncle, I haven't finished handling some things at home, my parents will arrive later."

Really capable of pretending!

Ma Shi curled her lips in her heart, and the smile on her face became even more real.

"This one is..."

Ma's eyes were on Lin Yanzhao and looked at him carefully. Seeing that his clothes were all very impressive, his heart moved.

Then Zhou Ying introduced: "This is Lin Yanzhao, the son of the county magistrate."

County Magistrate?

Ma was stunned and then returned to normal. Although he had received the letter before, he couldn't help but be surprised after hearing Zhou Ying's introduction.

The flowers were trembling with laughter: "Ouch! It turns out that he is his future niece, and he looks so handsome. Our Ying'er is so lucky."

Ma covered his mouth, smiled gently, put his hands down on his waist, and gave a harp awkwardly as he looked in the play.

Lin Yanzhao helped him with Xuxu: "The second uncle doesn't need much politeness."

Ma was so excited that he shouted the second uncle and greeted enthusiastically: "Don't stand outside. Mr. Lin, please come in quickly, come into the house!"

Ma's face was flattering and surrounded Lin Yanzhao.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying lowered her head, put her hand on her lips, and coughed lightly.

Ma seems to have never heard of it.

"Second uncle!"

Zhou Ying took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and smiled softly: "Brother Zhao is his own person, you don't have to be "too polite!"

Zhou Ying accentuated the pronunciation on the word "Tai".

Ma received a warning and closed his mouth with a sneer.

Walking through the yard, entering the room.

Lin Yanzhao ordered the servant beside him to hand over all the gifts he prepared, including wine, pastries, cloth, and a precious ginseng packaged.

"A little bit of politeness does not mean respect. I hope the old man, the old lady, don't dislike him."

Lin Yanzhao was straight and bowed toward the direction of Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou turned his head and looked at Mrs. Zhou beside him.

Old Mrs. Zhou didn't speak, and she had a stern face. She turned her head and refused to look at Zhou Ying and Lin Yanzhao, and she almost wrote the three words "unhappy" on her face.

"Mom, mom, the future grandson-in-law is giving you a gift!"

Ma smiled embarrassedly and came to Old Mrs. Zhou to remind her.

Old Mrs. Zhou raised her head and glanced expressionlessly.

Knock!

Ma's heart trembled for a moment, not understanding.
