Chen Changan looked at the food box in embarrassment. If he accepted it, shouldn't he return it after eating?

This food box looks like it's made of mahogany, and it's not cheap.

Shen Jinzhu is so smart. She manages dozens of shops for her father. She is the best at reading people's hearts. She can tell Chen Changan's thoughts at a glance, and she has a favorable impression of him.

He doesn't ask for favors in return, and he doesn't use them to cling to her. He doesn't ask for a food box from her, and he even seems to dislike her?

Where can I find such a good man?

"Chen Xiucai, if you don't answer, it will be very dark if you delay any more today. I am a boudoir girl, and it will be extremely dangerous for me to stay here any longer."

"You are kind to me. I just give you food. You don't want it. Do you think you don't like my background as a merchant..."

"I never meant that!" Chen Changan had a headache. He quickly took the food box and heard a chuckle. The sound was like a ringing bell, which made Chen Changan somewhat uncomfortable.

Shen Jinzhu curled his lips and smiled, "It's nice to be a serious person, but a serious person can't stand being teased."

Let's see how Chen Changan avoids her like a snake and a scorpion. As a husband, he is not afraid of messing around outside.

Thinking of this, Shen Jinzhu's cheeks turned red, he lowered the car curtain, coughed, and said: "This is made by the chef my family hired from Yangzhou. I thought if I gave you gold and silver, you might think I was insulting you." , Scholars are noble, after much thought, I can only give you food, I hope you will not dislike it."

"Miss, I don't mind you taking the trouble."

There was a bit of helplessness in the voice, and the look must have been a bit embarrassing. Shen Jinzhu felt itchy and wanted to look away, but he knew it was too late.

Everything you are chasing, whether it is people or things, is worthless.

Shen Jinzhu bit his lip, then raised his voice and said, "Let's go."

At this moment, Tian Meng arrived driving the bullock cart. Before the cart could stop, Chen Changsheng jumped out in a hurry.

"Brother, brother, something happened at home."

"What happened?" Chen Changan's face changed slightly.

Chen Changsheng gasped for breath, unable to take a breath, and was too anxious to speak.

Meng Tan jumped off the bullock cart and patted Chen Changsheng's back helplessly. This baby still needed to do something.

[It’s not our family, it’s the matter of Erlang Yue’s family. His eldest sister was deceived into marriage by Wang Xiucai’s family. Wang Xiucai raised a prostitute outside the house, and the extra wife was pregnant. The Wang family wanted to trick the Tian family’s daughter into becoming a cheap aunt. ]

[Now the Tian family has discovered that the two families are fighting each other and are fighting a lawsuit. It was only when we went to court today that we found out that we need to hire a defense attorney. We have already submitted the complaint and we are still waiting for a defense attorney, but we don’t know any defense counsel. I don’t know if you know anything about Dalang. ]

Meng Tan explained it clearly in two paragraphs, and then Tian Meng helped his parents down. Several people hurriedly explained to Chen Changan, but they couldn't explain clearly.

"Okay, okay, uncle and aunt, please don't worry. I'll find a place for you to stay first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. It looks like there's going to be a curfew now."

Chen Changan smiled, his tone was calm, and his confident look was very bluffing, and the Tian family calmed down.

"I wonder if I might be able to help?"

Suddenly a female voice came, it was Shen Jinzhu.

Meng Tan raised his head, his eyes brightened.

[Oh, what a beautiful girl. ]

[Oh, look at the eyebrows, it’s amazing, the red luan star is moving. ]

[Oh, it’s Dalang who’s moving! ]

[Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really envy Chen Changan. This is my future daughter-in-law. She is so beautiful. ]

The two brothers Chen Changan looked at their mother in disbelief.

Mother, don’t you just talk nonsense because you want him to have a good future?

Meng Tan came back to his senses, clapped his mouth, and accidentally said what was in his heart.

[Look at what I’m doing. The girl is asking you. If you don’t reply, the girl will be embarrassed. Do you see it? ]

Meng Tan stared and patted Chen Changan.

Chen Changan raised his head to look at Shen Jinzhu for the first time. When he saw it, the tips of his ears immediately turned red, "Don't bother me, girl—"

Meng Tan patted Chen Changan again and abruptly stopped Chen Changan's refusal. Shen Jinzhu couldn't understand that the woman in front of him was Chen Changan's mother, and he was a little cautious at the moment.

However, if a good man doesn't take action in time, it will be an advantage for others.

"Jixian Academy is quite far away from the market. It's troublesome to find a place to live now. It's troublesome to catch up with the curfew. Chen Xiucai, you see that your family is all elders. If you can't find a place to live, is it possible for them to sleep on the street? That's a lot of trouble. You’re going to suffer, why don’t you follow me to another courtyard and stay for one night?”

Meng Tan nodded secretly, this girl looked so generous.

Although he was bold, he was very measured. After seeing her identity, he didn't rush to please her. Those rather alert eyes were staring at Chen Chang'an when he said this.

On the other hand, Chen Changan's blush spread from the tips of his ears to the entire auricle, and he felt embarrassed after hearing what she calculated.

Still having other thoughts, this man didn't look at Shen Jinzhu, but his whole body was tense.

Meng Tan found it funny. This kid definitely had a crush on Shen Jinzhu.

"...Thank you, Miss Shen." Chen Changan handed over his hand.

"The two aunts will ride in the carriage with me, and the others will ride in the bullock cart?"

"Thank you very much, Miss Shen." Chen Changan looked back and saw that there were not many seats on the oxcart. When Meng Tan and the others came, they were all crowded on it.

In this case, he won't be pretentious anymore and will just look for opportunities to repay him in the future.

Meng Tan pulled Liu Cuihua to get on Shen Jinzhu's carriage. Liu Cuihua was frightened to death. She had never ridden on such a precious thing. She couldn't afford to pay for it if it was damaged.

Liu Cuihua had no choice but to live or die, and would rather squeeze the bullock cart with Chen Changan and the others, which gave Meng Tan an advantage.

I have to say, it can be seen from here that the Shen family is really wealthy. The carriage is even covered with carpets, and there is a low table in the middle. Oh, it is attached to the carriage.

Next to it is an incense stove, and two plates of exquisite snacks are placed on the table.

Take a closer look at Shen Jinzhu. The moon-white clothes look smooth and slippery. They are probably made of silk. They don't look cheap.

Meng Tan finally understood why the elder didn't want to talk to this girl so much. It wasn't that he didn't like her, but he felt that the two families were not a good match.

She was sizing up Shen Jinzhu, and Shen Jinzhu was also sizing up her.

Shen Jinzhu felt that Chen Xiucai was different from the peasant women she had seen. Ordinary peasant women were either shrewd, always willing to spend money, or submissive.

The woman in front of her was not. She had a peaceful face. Her delicate smiling face and clear eyes were inexplicably reassuring, and there was no greed or desire in her eyes.

But appreciation, like, um... and enlightenment?

"I wonder what I call aunt?" Shen Jinzhu asked.

Meng Tan smiled, pointed at the position of his throat, and said 'ah'.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't know you..." Shen Jinzhu looked apologetic and blamed himself for not hearing what the person in front of him said just now.

Meng Tan quickly waved her hand, smiled, took Shen Jinzhu's hand, and wrote the character "Meng" on Shen Jinzhu's palm.

"My aunt's surname is Meng?" Shen Jinzhu was surprised. How could any woman in the countryside be literate?

Meng Tan nodded and wrote a few more words. Shen Jinzhu was even more surprised, "Auntie knows the art of the Book of Changes?"

Meng Tan nodded again and stared at Shen Jinzhu with a smile, as if he had seen through everything.

Shen Jinzhu rarely hesitated, "Then...will aunt look at marriage?"
