During this time period, it was when most people were out working. However, as soon as the door was opened, they heard a commotion outside.
Especially the neighbors living next to the Lu family, they were surprised to see Liu Matchmaker, who was famous far and wide, and their eyes widened.
Someone, curious about the situation, asked, "Zhao, Dr. Zhao, are you here to propose marriage?"
To whom? Could it be to Lu Xiangjun?
Zhao Xi had a smile on his face, looking very excited. "Yes, I am here to propose."
Matchmaker Liu, who was standing nearby, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed. "Our young Master Zhao here takes this marriage proposal very seriously. In order to gain the approval of the Lu family, he specially went and caught a large wild goose. Look at this wild goose, its feathers are of excellent quality and it took a lot of effort for Young Master Zhao to acquire it."
It wasn't easy to catch a wild goose, so generally, people would use a large goose or duck as a substitute. To actually bring a wild goose, it indeed showed the groom's great effort and his regard for the bride.
While they were exchanging a few words at the door, the courtyard gate opened.
The old lady smiled and invited them in. The people at the door glanced inside and saw Shu Yu standing in the courtyard but didn't see Shu You.
They immediately understood that this was a marriage proposal to the eldest daughter of the Lu family. After all, a girl who had been proposed to would not be able to show her face and could only stay in her room.
So, it turned out not to be Lu Xiangjun.
It was no wonder they thought that way. Although the neighbors in Liufang Lane knew that the eldest daughter of the Lu family was a good girl, kind-hearted and gentle, she was still a divorced girl. The previous suitors were indeed numerous, but when it came down to it, their conditions were quite average.
Either they were poor or older in age, and the ones with slightly better conditions were widowers.
Although Zhao Xi was previously seen as a fool, he had improved now, hadn't he? He was not only skilled in medicine but also a handsome young man. Apart from being orphaned, he was indeed recognized by everyone in this neighborhood as a promising son-in-law.
They didn't expect that he would set his sights on the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
The neighbors exchanged complicated glances, and as soon as the Lu family's courtyard gate closed, they immediately gathered together and whispered to each other.
"Do you think this marriage proposal will succeed?"
"It will definitely succeed. If there hadn't been prior discussions, why would Zhao Doctor boldly come for a marriage proposal?"
Someone jealously remarked, "It's a pity. Doctor Zhao is handsome and capable, yet the Lu family's eldest daughter has already been married once and can still get such a good match."
"Indeed, I guess it's because of Lu Xiangjun's connections."
Some people who were close to the Lu family couldn't help but retort, "You guys are just sour grapes. Even if she has been married before, she is still an innocent and pure young lady. Isn't she capable and obedient? What's wrong with Doctor Zhao being interested in her?"
"Exactly, I think they make a great match."
"Are you brave enough to say that in front of Lu Xiangjun? Let's see if she'll come at you with an axe."
Those few envious individuals instantly turned red and didn't dare to speak ill of Shu You again. They snorted and ran away.
The others remained in their spots, wanting to see the outcome.
They waited for a long time. Nowadays, when the groom goes to the bride's home for a marriage proposal, if both parties are satisfied, lunch will be served.
Smoke was already rising from the Lu family's kitchen, and the aroma wafted through the air. Everyone knew that the proposal had been accepted.
Some were happy, while others sighed.
But the most excited person was Zhao Xi himself. He happily sat at the dining table, eating the delicious meal prepared by his future mother-in-law, and he seemed to be on cloud nine.
