"According to the rules, the man and woman are engaged until they get married. During this period, the two of them should see each other as little as possible."

In the west room, Mrs. Zichuan took a sip of the sugar water handed over by Yang Ruoqing and said softly.

"But our family is in a special situation, and I need cardamom to serve me here."

"Zichuan is a man. Even if he is willing to stay by my side, it is not very convenient to do some things. You are also a busy man, so this cardamom is still indispensable."

"Doujiao and her parents and I have made plans a long time ago, and we will keep Doukou with us after we get engaged," said Mrs. Zichuan.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded: "These matters will be dealt with as your godmother says, and I will listen to you."

"By the way, when we were greeting the guests outside, did you see Zichuan?" Zichuan's mother said suddenly.

After she asked this question, Yang Ruoqing suddenly remembered that she had walked around the main room and the yard before, but she really didn't see Mu Zichuan.

"I didn't pay attention. It seemed like he wasn't here. Maybe he was busy with other things?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Zichuan Niang said: "On such a special day like today, all he has to do is greet the guests, what else can he do?"

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

Zichuan Niang said: "Qing'er, help me look for him quietly and see what he is doing. If you find him, let him go and greet the guests as soon as possible."

"Tell him, just say it was me who said it. Today is his engagement day, so he must not lose etiquette in front of guests."

Yang Ruoqing stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go find him right now."

There was no Mu Zichuan in the east room, and there was no trace of him in the front or rear of the yard.

Yang Ruoqing was really surprised now. Today is his good day, where did he go? It's really annoying.

While searching secretly, he unknowingly walked back to the entrance of Lao Mu's courtyard.

I was thinking that I had walked around in vain, where had this person gone?

"Qing'er."

Suddenly someone called her from behind.

Yang Ruoqing was overjoyed and turned around to see Mu Zichuan coming over there, carrying a basket in his hand. The basket contained several plates, and the plates contained fruits, snacks, and several large pieces of meat.

In addition, there was a wine pot, and he himself was wearing plain clothes, with a leaf falling on his shoulder, and a mud flower and a few thatch sticks on the side of his shoes.

Seeing his posture, Yang Ruoqing guessed that he had gone to the back mountain to pay homage to his late father.

"The guests have almost arrived. Five or six tables are full. My godmother didn't see you, so she sent me to find you." Yang Ruoqing walked over and said softly.

Mu Zichuan nodded. He lifted the basket he was carrying and said, "Today is a good day for me. I went to the mountains and gave my father a cup of wine to drink."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded, "Well, it's rare for you to have such filial piety. The front yard is full of guests, so I will take you into the back yard."

Mu Zichuan nodded, followed Yang Ruoqing into the yard quietly from the back door, handed the basket to Yang Ruoqing, and went back to the east room to change his clothes and come out to greet the guests.

When Yang Ruoqing conveyed this to Zichuan Niang, Zichuan Niang's heart dropped.

"I gave it a false alarm. I thought he was not interested in the marriage, but he ran away after all." Niang Zichuan said,

Because in the past when he was in the capital, the women who came with him for a blind date several times arrived, but he ran away.

"He has the heart to burn incense and send wedding wine to his father, which means that he must have agreed to the marriage in his heart." Mother Zichuan said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

She also thought so. Zichuan was finally willing to marry Liu Doukou, which was a good thing.

This means that those obsessions he had when he was young should have dissipated. That's good, that's good.

She has Tang Yazi, and Zichuan has Liu Doukou. They all found the most suitable person for each other and lived happily.

After Mu Zichuan's engagement, Liu Doukou stayed at Lao Mu's house with all her heart, and took care of Madam Zichuan's illness in a serious manner as her future daughter-in-law.

The Liu family was worried that Liu Doukou was a spoiled child in her parents' family and was not well cared for, so they sent two more people to help.

"The Liu family is really interesting."

The fourth aunt Liu came to visit Yang Huazhong's house, eating melon seeds and chirping with Sun, Bao Suyun, and Yang Ruoqing.

"The same surname is Liu as mine, but the Liu family is really interesting!" Mrs. Liu said for the second time.

"What's the interesting idea? Fourth sister-in-law, please explain it clearly. Don't keep tempting people's appetites." Bao Suyun said.

Mrs. Liu's eyes flashed, she glanced at Yang Ruoqing, and said: "The Liu family is also a wealthy family doing business. I originally thought that the people who came here to help take care of Zichuan Niang were two young people.

The clever maids turned out to be two middle-aged women in their early forties!"

"I went to take a peek today. Darling, two women stood at the entrance of the courtyard. They have broad arms and round waists, and butts as big as millstones. They can really ward off evil spirits!"

"However, this is done very quickly and requires endless effort."

"Cooking food, doing laundry, cleaning the yard, making medicine for Zichuan Niang, etc., everything is done properly inside and out."

"As for Liu Doukou, all he needs to do is talk to Zichuan Niang and relieve his boredom. Hey, it's so good to have a good family. I have never seen such an easy way for my future daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law. No dirty work is required.

Someone will do it for her!" Mrs. Liu said.

Bao Suyun said: "I can only say that the Liu family is a good family and they feel sorry for their daughter. It doesn't matter what kind of person they send, whether they are maids or servants. As long as they can share the burden, that's fine."

Sun also nodded, agreeing with Bao Suyun's words.

Mrs. Liu curled her lips and continued: "Oh, your perspective on things is different from mine. Can't you see the strangeness in this?"

"What's weird?" Bao Suyun asked again.

Mrs. Liu smiled weirdly and said: "The Liu family is very calculating. They are afraid that the young and beautiful maid they are sending will be dazzled by the future uncle, and he will have sex with the maid before the marriage is consummated."

.”

"Pick a few ugly old women and send them over, now you'll feel relieved!"

"I have done all the work at home and outside the house, and I follow Liu Doukou around. Both the ugly and the beautiful are compared."

After hearing Liu's analysis, both Bao Suyun and Sun suddenly realized.

The two people looked at each other, smiled, and made no comment.

No one answered her, but Mrs. Liu was unwilling to do so. So she turned her attention to Yang Ruoqing, who was drinking sour plum soup to cool down: "Qing'er, do you think Fourth Aunt I am paying attention to what I said?"

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyelids and glanced at Mr. Liu, "Although it's a bit exaggerated, it makes sense."
