Chapter 123: Proposal
Chapter 123: Proposal
"Why don't you just say that all orders should be placed with Qingshui Zhai and Qingshui Tea House will not accept them?" Ye Jiaxuan asked.
"Many people are used to a certain way of doing things. If it changes and they feel it is inconvenient, they will settle for the next most convenient way. In that case, they may lose some orders. It's okay to place an order at Qingshui Tea House, and I will arrange someone to pick it up when the time comes." Ye Ziyu said.
"You don't need to arrange anyone anymore. Just let the staff of Qingshui Tea House take charge, just like before. The only difference is that the location will be changed from Miss Liu's home to Qingshuizhai."
"Brother Ye, Ayu." Ye Ziyu and the others' faces turned cold when they heard that.
"Brother Ye, I heard from Sister Ayu that you caught a cold. I haven't been able to visit you since then, and I hope you won't forgive me. This time, I heard that you opened a new shop, so I specially gave you a gift." Lin Yun said.
Ye Ziyu pulled the corner of Ye Jiaxuan's clothes from behind, with a fake smile on her face, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for the gift."
"Ayu." Lin Yun stepped forward.
Ye Jiaxuan stepped forward and stood in front of Ye Ziyu, "Lin Yun, you and Ayu are not that close, I hope you can be careful."
"Brother Ye, you are right. I am too slow. I will ask my father to come to Ayu's house and propose marriage soon." Lin Yun smiled and looked at Ye Ziyu.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ziyu's face froze, "This guy is so shameless, he actually wants to propose marriage."
"Lin Yun!" Ye Jiaxuan shouted loudly. Everyone around looked over here. Ye Jiaxuan approached Lin Yun and whispered, "Lin Yun, I told you, I don't agree, and our whole family won't agree either."
"So what if they don't agree? I will still go to propose marriage and get the Ye family to agree." Lin Yun said with a smile.
"you……"
"Second brother." Ye Ziyu stepped forward and held Ye Jiaxuan back, "There are so many people watching, second brother, don't do it."
"Since the gift has been delivered, I won't bother you anymore." Lin Yun took a step back and said.
Then he looked at Ye Ziyu and said, "Ayu, please wait for me." Then he left.
Ye Jiaxuan clenched his fists, "He...he really..."
"Okay, second brother, don't be angry outside." Ye Ziyu pulled Ye Jiaxuan's arm, then looked in the direction where Lin Yun left, 'Why did he have to marry me? '

"Ayu, come quickly." Ye Ziyu had just returned home when she saw Jiang Xu waiting there, waving at her.
"Mother." Ye Ziyu trotted over and held Jiang Xu's hand.
"After Ayin's engagement, your birthday will be about half a month later. Your father and I want to give you a big celebration and introduce you to someone new." Jiang Xu said.
"Mother, it's not a big birthday, so there's no need for that. Besides, after attending so many banquets, everyone in the capital should know that the third young lady of the Ye family is back. There's no need to specially organize a banquet for everyone to get to know her." Ye Ziyu said.
"But they only heard about you from other people, not really know you themselves."
"No." Ye Ziyu said.
"Forget it. If you don't want to, mother won't force you. Let's just have a small gathering by ourselves." Jiang Xu said.
"Well, thank you, mother." Ye Ziyu hugged Jiang Xu's arm and acted coquettishly.

Ye Ziyu finished her meal with Jiang Xu and returned to her room.
After closing the door and turning around, I saw Fang Jingxiu sitting at the round table again.
Ye Ziyu tilted her head in confusion, "Wasn't there anyone there when I opened the door just now?"
"Young Marquis, you really don't like to go through the main gate." Ye Ziyu frowned.
"Going through the main door will cause too much trouble. I don't like to be bothered by so many things. I just want to ask you something." Fang Jingxiu said.
Ye Ziyu didn't move forward, but stood there, "Tell me, what's the matter."
"You...are just going to stand there?"
Ye Ziyu looked away and didn't reply.
"I'm here to ask you about Lin Yun."
Hearing this, Ye Ziyu turned to look at Fang Jingxiu, "I'm not familiar with Lin Yun, I don't know even if you ask me."
"Not familiar?"
"Unfamiliar."
"Why would he ask you to marry him if he doesn't know you well?"
“??? Were you eavesdropping?” Ye Ziyu asked uncertainly.
"Eavesdropping? Ye Ziyu, do you know what eavesdropping is? When two people are talking quietly and others hear it, that's called eavesdropping. You two are talking openly on the street, is that also called eavesdropping?"
"Uh-huh (joins together, clears throat.), what do you want to ask him?"
"You... forget it, you definitely won't know even if I ask you, so I'm leaving." Fang Jingxiu got up and left through the window.
Ye Ziyu: ????
"You're crazy." Ye Ziyu looked disgusted.
"Didn't the master say he had something to ask Miss Ye San? How come he left without saying a few words just after meeting?" Mo Yu puzzled.
"I don't know. The master has left. Hurry up and catch up." Mo Liang said.

The day before the engagement party.
"I think you all should be free to come to my engagement party tomorrow," Ling Sichen said.
"That's for sure. I didn't expect that you would be the first one among us to get engaged." Qin Luoheng said.
"There's nothing I can do. I'm just this outstanding." Ling Sichen looked proud.
"Why are you so proud? I'm actually lamenting that Miss Ye was delayed by you. She is both talented and beautiful, but you...tsk tsk tsk." Qin Luoheng said while shaking his head.
"What do you mean?" Ling Sichen said angrily, "You are just jealous of me, huh."
"Okay, I called you here to discuss serious matters." Fang Jingxiu said.
"Yes, isn't my engagement a serious matter? You haven't said whether you will go or not." Ling Sichen said.
Fang Jingxiu glanced at him, not wanting to pay attention to him, and continued, "Mo Yu found out that Lin Yun had contact with someone from Miaojiang, but when he followed them, the person from Miaojiang escaped."
Qin Luoheng frowned, "Mo Yu is best at tracking, but he was able to shake him off, so that person must be very skilled."
"Think of a way to find out the fault of the Lin family and arrest Lin Yun." Fang Jingxiu said, "There is also news from Moyang. The royal family has sent a message urging them to hand over the medicine as soon as possible. Because of the government's vigorous search before, they have been quiet for a while. Now that they are urged here, I am afraid they will take action again."
"We have been investigating for such a long time, but we didn't find any information. It was only when Mo Yang sent the information from inside that we had some clues. Since they are going to take action again, they will definitely not attack around the capital. There have been many disappearances in Yuzhou and Jingzhou before, and they should not attack those places now."
"Liangzhou." Fang Jingxiu said.
"Liangzhou? Although Liangzhou is located in a remote area and far from the capital, the King of Liangzhou governs it well and Liangzhou has always been peaceful. It may not be easy to do such things in Liangzhou." Ling Sichen said.
Liangzhou was recovered by Emperor Zhao. It was originally the State of Liang. Because Emperor Liang governed well and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, Emperor Zhao did not execute Emperor Liang after he recovered the State of Liang. Instead, he renamed the State of Liang to Liangzhou and appointed Emperor Liang as the King of Liangzhou to continue governing that area.
"You never know. Maybe the people in Miaojiang have their own methods." Fang Jingxiu played with the teacup.
"When do we set off?" Qin Luoheng asked.
"Let me report to the emperor and see what his arrangements are." Fang Jingxiu said.
"Oh, it looks like I'll have to leave home for a while again." Ling Sichen said.
"Don't go this time. You are already engaged. Who knows when Madam Ling will choose a date for you and Miss Ye to get married. If you go, Madam Ling will scold you to death." Qin Luoheng said.
"We won't get married so soon." Others didn't know the whole story, but Ling Sichen himself knew it clearly.
"What? Do you want to marry someone else later?" Qin Luoheng asked.
"Of course not. Alas, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
"Oh my, I don't understand even if you tell me. I think you just have this in mind."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you. I have to go back home to prepare for tomorrow's banquet. I'm here today just to deliver the invitation to you personally. Remember to come tomorrow." Ling Sichen got up and left.
"I didn't expect that Achen would get engaged so soon."
"What about you?" Fang Jingxiu asked.
"Me? Me what?"
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that you have feelings for Aqing. When are you going to propose marriage?"
"Don't talk nonsense, Aqing is still young."
"From what I understand, Aqing should be about the same age as Miss Ye. Miss Ye is already engaged, so how come Aqing is still young?"
Qin Luoheng's cheeks gradually turned red.
"Anyway, I'm reminding you. If you don't hurry up, it will be too late by the time Madam Ling shows Aqing." Fang Jingxiu curled the corners of his mouth slightly, stood up and left.
"Is there any news? Which boy has Madam Ling taken a fancy to?" Qin Luoheng chased after him.
