Running all the way, Yan Wentao's head was covered with sweat. After calming down his breathing for a while, he walked over to greet the elders, and finally his eyes fell on Mrs. Zhou.

"Aunt Zhou..."

Mrs. Zhou was worried that Yan Wentao would say something inappropriate, so she quickly interrupted him: "You are such an honest boy. Even if your eldest brother wants to go to the capital, you don't have to come in such a hurry. Even if you don't come, your eldest brother won't either."

It’s your fault.”

Mrs. Li looked at her nephew's anxious face and glanced at Daohua, knowing that this girl must have told Wen Tao about Jingwan's marriage proposal in Beijing.

However, Mrs. Zhou's attitude has become very obvious. It would be a bit unwise for their family to continue to argue.

Mrs. Li was also afraid that Yan Wentao would talk nonsense and prevent the two of them from getting off the stage, so she immediately said with a smile: "Your eldest brother has already boarded the boat. Go and say goodbye to him quickly."

Yan Wentao looked at Mrs. Li with pleading eyes: "Auntie..."

Seeing the tall young man showing such a helpless side, Mrs. Li couldn't bear it and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Mrs. Zhou. Unfortunately, Mrs. Zhou saw Mrs. Li's gaze and immediately turned her head to the side.<

/p>

Seeing this, Mrs. Li felt helpless, knowing that it was impossible to marry the Zhou family, so she could only harden her heart and said: "Wen Tao, your eldest brother just talked about you, hurry up and meet him with your eldest aunt.

."

As he said this, he wanted to pull Yan Wentao away, but he failed.

Yan Wentao's eyes flashed with struggle, and he kept looking at the Zhou family's ship. He had just returned from doing things with Yeyang and Wenkai today. As soon as he came back, the secret guard gave him the letter sent by Daohua.

Seeing that Jingwan was going to Beijing to propose marriage, his heart just wanted to be stabbed with a knife.

He saw the eldest aunt's embarrassment and helplessness, and he also felt Mrs. Zhou's avoidant attitude. Daohua knew that he liked Jingwan, and based on his understanding of her, he knew that Jingwan would definitely help him if she wanted to marry him.

.

Obviously, the eldest aunt should talk to Mrs. Zhou, but unfortunately, Mrs. Zhou does not agree.

He knows that his conditions are not worthy of Jingwan, but he just doesn't want to give up.

Everyone noticed Yan Wentao's strangeness, and Yan Zhiyuan and Wu looked at their son anxiously.

Mrs. Zhou was very worried that Yan Wentao would be impulsive, so she forced a smile and said: "It's getting late. Since Wen Tao is here to say goodbye to Wen Xiu, let's go quickly. It's time for me to get on the boat."

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Yan Wentao say: "Aunt Zhou, the reason why I came late is because I went out on errands."

Mrs. Zhou took a deep breath and said with a stiff smile: "Auntie knows that you are capable. Now your eldest brother has been engaged. When Auntie comes back from the capital, she will arrange a good marriage for you..."

Yan Wentao interrupted Mrs. Zhou anxiously: "Aunt Zhou, I'm not good enough now, but please believe me, I will definitely work hard."

The smile on Mrs. Zhou's face could no longer be maintained: "...I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have introduced you to a girl from another family." Seeing what Yan Wentao wanted to say, Mrs. Zhou directly raised her hand.

Stop.

"Wen Tao, it's really getting late. Your eldest brother has to go to Beijing for employment. Go and say goodbye to him. I'll get on the boat first." After saying that, even the Zhou family didn't hesitate.

Walk towards the Zhou family's ship.

Yan Wentao instinctively took a step out. When he was about to take the second step, Yan Wenxiu, who got off the Yan family boat after receiving the news, caught him in time.

"Third brother, I haven't seen you for a while. Let's go and talk for a while." After saying that, he pulled Yan Wentao away without any explanation.

Looking at this scene, the Yan family and the Zhou family seemed to understand something.

Zhou Chengye rubbed his forehead with a headache. Wen Tao likes his sister? He didn't even notice it at all!

When did it start?

Zhou Chengye thought about it carefully and discovered to his surprise that his sister seemed to like sticking to Wen Tao since she was a child, and Wen Tao also sent things to his sister every now and then.

Wen Tao was able to get Jingwan such things as lychees and strawberries, which even his grandfather could not get.

Every time his sister calls out "Brother Yan San, Brother Yan San", he just thinks they have a good relationship.

Zhou Chengye couldn't help but slap his head. Wen Tao was so reserved that he didn't think about anything else at all.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have made such a fuss like now and everyone knew about it.

Zhou Chengye glanced at his embarrassed and uncomfortable father and Uncle Yan, and shouted in his heart that he had made a mistake.

Looking at the third brother who was trying his best to hold back and staring at the Zhou family's boat with red eyes, Daohua couldn't bear it any longer, and finally shouted at the Zhou family's boat: "Jingwan, aren't you going to bring me a pearl hairpin? I

I’ve thought about it, I want one set with sapphires and pearls, preferably in the shape of a flower.”

In the cabin, Zhou Jingwan, who was making tea, heard this and said quickly: "Grandpa, I'm going out to take a look. I promised to bring Yi a hairpin when I come back, so I can't bring the wrong one."

After saying that, he put down the tea set and ran out quickly.

The mother-in-law beside Mrs. Zhou wanted to stop her, but Mrs. Zhou glanced at her, then immediately lowered her head and stopped moving.

As soon as Zhou Jingwan ran out of the cabin, she met Mrs. Zhou who had just boarded the ship.

Mrs. Zhou wanted to ask her daughter to enter the cabin, but unfortunately, Zhou Jingwan had already ran to the deck: "Yiyi, tell me again, what do you want?"

As soon as he finished shouting, he saw Yan Wentao on the shore, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he started to run under the boat.

When Mrs. Zhou saw it, she quickly stopped him: "The boat is about to sail, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Jingwan: "Brother Yan San is here. I'm going to say goodbye to him."

Mrs. Zhou's face darkened, she blocked her daughter with her body, and frowned: "What are you talking about? How can a girl go to say goodbye to her husband in public? Do you still want your reputation?"
p>

Zhou Jingwan frowned, with a somewhat disapproving look on her face: "Mom, our family has good relations with the Yan family, how come the third brother Yan has become a waifu?"

Mrs. Zhou felt that she had a severe headache and gritted her teeth and said: "You are not allowed to go down anyway, and you are not allowed to yell or yell unruly. Now go back to the cabin."

Zhou Jingwan hummed to express her dissatisfaction. Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was unmoved, she took a step back: "Mom, I won't get off the boat. I will just stand on the deck with Yan San..." Seeing Mrs. Zhou's eyes

Bian Leng immediately changed his mind: "I'll ask Yiyi what kind of hairpin she wants."

Before Mrs. Zhou could speak, Zhou Jingwan immediately walked to the edge of the deck, holding the boat rail and looking at the shore.

When Zhou Jingwan came out of the cabin, Yan Wentao quickly walked to the front of the Zhou family's boat.

Daohua and Yan Wenxiu both followed. With the two of them accompanying them, at least to outsiders, they would only think that Zhou Jingwan was saying goodbye to the three of them, and no bad gossip would be spread.

Zhou Jingwan said to Daohua: "Yiyi, don't worry, I will bring you the hairpin. I will be back in about three or four months."

The words were spoken to Daohua, but his eyes kept falling on Yan Wentao.

Daohua glanced at the third brother who was biting his lips and replied: "We are waiting for you."

Zhou Jingwan smiled brightly: "If you have anything delicious, keep it for me. I'll come back to eat it."

Hearing this, Yan Wentao's fist hanging by his side started to tremble because he was pulling it too tightly. He wanted to say a few words to Jingwan, but he was afraid that once he opened his mouth, he would not be able to help but say what was in his heart.

He couldn't ruin the years of friendship between the Yan family and the Zhou family for his own sake.

Mrs. Zhou didn't want to cause trouble, so she immediately ordered people to sail the boat.

When Zhou Jingwan saw the boat sailing, she immediately waved to the three people on the shore: "Wait for me when I come back."

Daohua raised her hand and responded: "Jingwan, you must come back."

Next to him, Yan Wenxiu looked at his third brother with some regret, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder: "Some things don't have to be possessed, just give them your blessing."

Yan Wentao looked up at Yan Wenxiu in confusion: "Blessings?"

Yan Wenxiu nodded: "Yes, as long as Sister Zhou lives well, you will be happy, right?"

Looking at the Zhou family's boat gradually going away, a bitter smile appeared on Yan Wentao's face: "Yes, as long as Jingwan is good, it doesn't matter what happens to me."

"Wen Xiu, please get on the boat quickly. If you're late, you won't be able to catch up with the Zhou family's boat."

Yan Zhiyuan suddenly came over.

Yan Wenxiu looked at his third uncle, nodded, patted Yan Wentao's shoulder again, then turned around and boarded the Yan family's boat.

The two boats left one after the other.

Seeing this, both the Zhou family and the Yan family breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as things don't get out of hand, everyone can tacitly pretend that it never happened.

......

While Yan Wentao was staring at the departing ship with sad eyes, on the Zhou family's boat, Zhou Jingwan, who knew nothing about it, was in a good mood making tea because she saw Yan Wentao before leaving.

Mr. Zhou noticed his granddaughter's emotional changes and frowned slightly when he thought of what the steward had just reported to him.

After the tea was brewed, Mr. Zhou asked Zhou Jingwan to go back to his room to rest, but he left Mrs. Zhou behind.

"What's going on with that boy Wen Tao?"

Mrs. Zhou was silent for a moment, and finally told the truth: "That little toad wants to eat swan meat, and he's trying to get rid of our Jingwan."

Mr. Zhou frowned and felt slightly unhappy: "Do Yan Zhigao and his wife know about this?"

When Mrs. Zhou was about to get her eldest son married, Mrs. Li revealed the secret.

Mr. Zhou: "...The Yan family is also aware of etiquette and taste. Our family does not agree. Let's make it clear to them. I don't think they will get entangled. You, you still acted a little too much."

Mrs. Zhou argued: "My daughter-in-law doesn't want it either. Isn't it just the time when we are going to Beijing? You also know Jingwan's temper. If she knows that we are going to Beijing to marry her, she will definitely want to
