Chapter 2221 Governor, Come and Farm with Me! (231)
Yes, it must be so.
If Su Qiao didn't have a lot of heart, he wouldn't be able to open such a prosperous shop, and even his mother and his sister praised her.
"Master, are you still going?" The little servant asked carefully, looking at the young master whose face was pale and red.
Zhou Tianyou said with a sullen face: "Go, send a letter to Brother Xia, saying that I am here to visit."
"Yes." The servant took the order and walked quickly to Willow Village.
After half an hour, the little servant came back alone.
He lowered his head and shrank: "Master, the people of the Xia family said that Master Xia went to the mountain, and he might not be able to come back for a while."
This is obviously the excuse of the Xia family, maybe... the Xia family doesn't want to have anything to do with the young master at all.
Even the young master's classmate and friend Xia Yubin was deliberately avoiding the young master.
It is noon now, who will go to the mountain?
What's more, Xia Yubin is a scholar, and he will drive to the government tomorrow for a test. Even if the Xia family can't handle it, they will not let Xia Yubin do any work at this time.
Zhou Tianyou didn't have time to think about this, he grabbed his arm anxiously: "Have you seen Xiaodie?"
The pain in his arm was painful, but the servant didn't dare to say a word.
"Never."
After a pause, the servant said softly, "I didn't dare to ask."
He is a man, and it is really inappropriate for him to come to the door and ask a woman who is waiting for him.
"But... when I was young, I quietly inquired with the Xia family's neighbors. The Xia family was indeed talking about the marriage to Miss Xia. I heard that the other party's family is very wealthy, and has... already given one hundred The engagement ceremony of the two."
As for whether the man's family is engaged in business, and whether he is continuing his wife, I don't know.
But the engagement has been confirmed.
Zhou Tianyou's face sank, his eyes gloomy: "Xia's family has taken it?"
"Yes." The little servant lowered his head, not daring to see the young master's angry expression.
"Master, why don't we go back and have a long-term discussion? At this time, we can't break in. If it makes a big problem, the master and the wife will..."
The young servant is only worried now that when the young master is angry, he will impulsively run to the Xia family to make trouble.
"go back."
Against the sun at noon, Zhou Tianyou stood on the side of the road for half an hour, until he was dizzy, and then he got on the carriage with a gloomy face.
The little servant breathed a sigh of relief, quickly wiped off his sweat, climbed into the carriage, and drove the carriage away from Willow Village.

"How is it? Have you seen Xia Xiaodie?"
"Didn't see it again?"
"You just die, that woman is a duplicitous duplicity."
Zhou Tianyou returned home with a gloomy face, and as soon as he entered the outer hall, he heard the taunting of his sister.
Immediately, he said out of anger, "Shut up!"
Zhou Shirou was so angry that she sneered: "Hmph, let me tell you the truth, my mother has already inquired, her family has already ordered her a marriage, the man has a dead ex-wife and a son, but his family is rich.
I heard that when they were engaged, they gave the Xia family a full 100 taels of betrothal gifts and a whole set of golden face masks. I heard that Xia Xiaodie had no objection at all. Not only did she happily accept it, she wore it on her head that day. up. "
"Impossible! Xiaodie must be forced."
Zhou Tianyou does not believe that the person he likes will dislike the poor and love the rich, and when he is in trouble, he will abandon it like a shoe.
"Hmph, what is being forced, you are the only fool who is still dreaming here."
Zhou Shirou hated that iron could not become steel, and wished to wake up this silly brother with a stick.
