Yan Cheng's words caught Zhuang Wan off guard. He announced it so solemnly, as if the two of them were going to get married in a few days.

Could it be that...he really planned this?

Naturally, Chen Wujin and the other three were not surprised, and instead solved all the doubts in their minds. Only Lai Er was slightly disappointed. Having just found out that Zhuang Wan was his daughter, she was already a famous woman, and she couldn't help but lament her bad luck.

After the three of them had eaten and left, Zhuang Wan called Yan Cheng into the room.

"What you just said about getting married is true or false?"

"Of course it's true!" Yan Cheng said, "When have I ever told a lie? We will get married after King Qi's wedding. At that time, I will resign and leave the capital. Let's go to a paradise-like place, away from the hustle and bustle.

Ordinary days.”

Xiao Jingchen will get married on the eighth day of next month, which is ten days later. How could she consider such an important matter within ten days?

The pastoral life of men farming and women weaving sounds romantic, but we don’t know how difficult it was in ancient times with low productivity.

Even though Yan Cheng gave up his future and everything he was burdened with and was willing to be ordinary, she was not someone who ate love as food.

"In fact, there is no need to be so anxious about this matter." Zhuang Wan said: "Now that you have a bright future, wouldn't it be a pity to give it up so easily? What's more, we still have so many close friends here, and if you leave, you may never see them again.

"

Of course, the most important thing is that she and Mu Qiulan are already preparing to start a business, and they don't want to miss this golden opportunity. After all, the heroine has a halo, so there is no need to worry about success by following her.

"I understand..." Yan Cheng looked a little disappointed.

After a while, he finally summoned up the courage to ask: "Wan'er, do you... love me?"

Zhuang Wan was even more unexpected by these words. She had never thought about this problem because she didn't know.

Even though she has feelings for Yan Cheng, it is far from love.

Seeing that she was silent, Yan Cheng understood something in his heart: "You don't have to worry about what I will do. You can answer whatever you think in your heart."

After hearing this, Zhuang Wan said truthfully: "I...I don't know."

Yan Cheng showed a faint smile and reached out to touch her cheek, but finally put it down.

"I see!"

He stood up and said, "I'm going back first, and you should rest early."

Zhuang Wan stopped him: "You... are leaving right now?"

Yan Cheng turned around and said with a smile: "We are busy with military affairs. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you these days. If you have anything, you can come to me in the camp."

Zhuang Wan watched him go out, stayed for a while in the courtyard, and finally opened the door.

She saw that Yan Cheng was emotional, and she wanted to explain several times, but she didn't know how to say it. She couldn't accurately explain her feelings for Yan Cheng.

"Master Li doesn't seem happy." Mu Qiulan came to her side at some point and looked outside the courtyard with her.

Zhuang Wan came back to her senses, saw Mu Qiulan's eyes were red and swollen, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Mu Qiulan smiled and shook her head, "I'm fine."

"Sister, look, the osmanthus flowers in the yard are all withered."

"Yes!" Zhuang Wan sighed: "It's no longer the season when sweet-scented osmanthus blooms."

"Although the sweet-scented osmanthus is gone, there are still plum blossoms. The plum blossoms have withered, but there are still blooming flowers in spring." Mu Qiulan took a deep breath and smiled: "As long as you look forward, why worry about not having flowers to enjoy."

Zhuang Wan looked at her, "You are right to think so. The sweet-scented osmanthus is withering now, but it will bloom again next year, as long as you can bear it."

She could no longer remember the sadistic and entangled plots between the male and female protagonists, but she remembered that Xiao Jingchen did not marry Han Yunxi, so Mu Qiulan's wait was worth it. Although the love between the two has experienced many ups and downs, good things come hard.

, they will be together in the end.

"What about sister?" Mu Qiulan asked: "If you miss the flowering period, you will have to wait another year. Why not just cut off the flowers if they are available now?"

Zhuang Wan said indifferently: "Rather than leaving a broken flower when the flowering period is about to end, it is better to wait until next year. Maybe the flower will bloom better."

"Okay, let's not be sad here. You didn't come out to eat just now. You should have an appetite now that you have figured it out!"

Mu Qiulan nodded, "Making incense is a laborious job, and you can't do it without a full meal."

"That's right!" Zhuang Wan said: "The most important thing for us right now is to spread the spices and put the rest aside in advance."

Therefore, she didn't think much about Yan Cheng and went to the city to look for a suitable shop the next day.

Xiao Jingyu was still waiting on the road where he last saw Han Yunxi, hoping to see the beauty again.

He didn't have any extravagant wishes, and he knew that King Qi and Han Yunxi were about to get married. He just wanted to see her from a distance.

He originally thought that he would wait in vain again today, but he didn't expect that when he looked up, he saw the carriage from Shangshu Mansion slowly approaching and stopping at Linlang Pavilion opposite.

The shopkeeper of Linlang Pavilion came out to greet him personally.

"Miss Han, you are here!"

Han Yunxi glanced at him: "Have all the idlers been driven out?"

"Don't worry, Miss! Linlang Pavilion is only serving Miss today."

"That's good!" Han Yunxi said and entered the shop to choose jewelry.

Xiao Jingyu was so excited to see the beauty that he stepped forward and hid outside Linlang Pavilion to watch from a distance.

"Ms. Han, look at this set of gold-plated hairpins with dragons and phoenixes in the form of auspicious stars. It is extremely luxurious and is most suitable for the lady to wear on her wedding day." The shopkeeper enthusiastically introduced the most expensive jewelry in the shop.

Han Yunxi picked it up and looked at it, "It looks good, but it's inevitably tacky. Don't you have anything else here? If not, I'll go look elsewhere!"

"Yes, yes, of course!" The shopkeeper turned around and took out another box of jewelry for her to choose from...

Zhuang Wan saw Han Yunxi entering Linlang Pavilion and also saw Xiao Jingyu. Originally, she wanted to get her five taels of silver back, but seeing him staring blankly at Han Yunxi made her remember that the book did write about his admiration.

Han Yunxi’s matter.

Although he is now like a pug and can only peek from the side, with such low self-esteem that he does not even have the courage to step forward and say a word, who would have thought that Han Yunxi could not marry Xiao Jingchen in the end because of his contribution.

A vicious female partner and a scheming male partner, they match each other very well.

Zhuang Wan didn't want to provoke these two people, so she quickly took a detour. Unexpectedly, she just turned back and walked a few steps when she saw a familiar white figure again.

She turned around and wanted to go into an alley to hide, but Rong Li had already seen her.

"Miss Zhuang Wan!" He walked over quickly with a warm smile.

"What a coincidence that I met a girl here."

Zhuang Wan said "Yeah", "It's indeed a coincidence."

Rong Li said sheepishly: "I already know that the girl and General Li are in love and will not harbor any illusions, so there is no need for the girl to avoid me like this."

Zhuang Wan looked at this slutty scholar, although he was a bit glib, but he didn't have any bad intentions.

"Sir, I misunderstood. I was just looking at the excitement over there and wanted to take a look. I was not trying to avoid you. I have offended you a lot before. I hope you will ignore the past grudges."

Rong Li smiled and said, "I'm just being reckless and rude. I'd like to ask the girl to pay attention. The girl is busy, so I won't bother you."

After saying that, he left.

"Sir, wait a minute!" Zhuang Wan called him.

A smile of success appeared on Rong Li's lips, and he turned around and asked, "Any other instructions, miss?"

Zhuang Wan stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Sir, did you say that if I want to buy a shop, I can ask you for help?"

Rong Li said: "I have some friendship with the people from the Ministry of Finance. It's just a shop. It doesn't matter."

"That's great! If you can help me, sir, I'd be very grateful."

"Girl, if you say this, why don't you help me?" Rong Li said, "Girl, just wait for the good news!"

"Thank you sir!" Zhuang Wan paused and said, "Sir, if you have nothing else to do, I would like to invite you to tea and express my gratitude. When things are done one day, I will also give you a big gift to thank you."

“Girl, I’m so kind to invite you. I’m naturally honored.”

The two of them walked to the teahouse not far away, chatting along the way.

"I wonder what kind of business the girl wants to do? It is not easy for this woman to do business, but she is not an ordinary woman. I am afraid nothing will be difficult for you."

"Sir, you are joking. If I had the skills, I wouldn't be able to build a shop."

"Girls are of the female generation, and there are many things that are difficult to do personally. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can always come to me."

"I already have trouble with you, sir, so I don't dare bother you anymore."

"You're welcome, girl!"

At this time, a man in front leading a camel and wearing a Western costume came over and greeted Rong Li warmly, but he couldn't understand what he was saying.

Rong Li also responded with a bird song.

Although Zhuang Wan couldn't understand what the two said, it seemed like they had a good relationship.

The businessman from the Western Region glanced at Zhuang Wan, smiled and said something to Rong Li, but saw Rong Li wave his hand, and the two of them started laughing.

After saying a few words, the businessman led the camel and left.

"I didn't expect you could speak the language of the Western Regions," Zhuang Wan said.
