Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

"Dong dong dong."

Someone was knocking on the door outside the house with the plaque of Shu Mansion hanging on it.

In the yard, Shu Qiu was sitting on the swing, lazily basking in the sun. Hearing the voice, he lazily called out to Zhu Qi.

"Aqi, go see who's outside?"

"it is good."

Zhu Qi was originally sweeping the yard. After responding to Shu Qiu's words, he took the broom and went to open the door.

They now live in a house with a yard. The place is not very big, but it is more than enough for two people.

This was the house that Zhu Qi bought in a wealthy town when he made his first big money. It had a good location and a quiet environment.

Even though the place is not big, the price is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Because the house has several more rooms than before, and a large yard with many flowers, trees and other landscapes, cleaning is ten or a hundred times more difficult than before.

Shu Qiu was devoted to embroidery, and her pair of white jade-like hands were kept smooth and delicate. Even if she moved to a new address, she certainly could not do this kind of work.

Zhu Qiyou still retained the beast nature he developed when he lived in the mountains and forests. He had a strong possessiveness for his territory and did not like to keep slaves at home like other wealthy businessmen.

The final result of the discussion was: they would hire a group of servants to clean the yard, wash clothes and cook every day. After completing their duties, they would go home and were not allowed to stay overnight in the mansion.

If Zhu Qi comes back, the hired servants will be given a holiday and all the work will be handed over to him.

Later, when the business was basically stable, he lived at home more often, and the rough work of sweeping and cleaning became almost his exclusive job.

Logically speaking, according to this requirement, they had to hire local people to do the work at home, which was much more troublesome than doing it elsewhere.

but--

Shu Qiu himself does not need to work hard, and is satisfied;

Zhu Qi was satisfied that he could not see any strangers in his territory;

The servants we hired had high monthly wages and did not need to sell themselves, and they also had a lot of vacation days per month, which was very satisfying.

As long as the three parties were satisfied, the process continued smoothly.

Not long ago, Zhu Qi finished a business in another city. After several days of continuous travel, he returned home yesterday.

The servants were given a day off that day, so today it was Zhu Qi who had to sweep the fallen leaves in the yard, and it was he who had to open the door.

"Who is it?"

Zhu Qi opened the door.

The person who came was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She had a big black mole next to her mouth and many fine lines at the corners of her eyes and mouth, which must have been wrinkles caused by smiling too much.

Her face was now as big as a chrysanthemum with a smile, and she said in a high voice:

"Young man, I am Wang who lives in the west. I am here today to give your master the good news. Please let him know."

In order to prevent dust from dirtying his usual clothes, Zhu Qi specially changed into a set of gray and inconspicuous clothes, and held a large broom to sweep fallen leaves in front of his chest.

He was dressed like this when he opened the door, so the middle-aged woman naturally mistook him for a servant in the yard.

Although the middle-aged woman was still wondering why the servants were so handsome and so imposing, she did not associate him with one of the owners of the mansion.

Zhu Qi didn't care and asked, "What good news?"

The middle-aged woman didn't want to answer a servant's question, but Zhu Qi blocked the door, leaving no room for anyone to enter.

It seems that he won't let me in unless I tell him.

The middle-aged woman considered it for a moment and spoke reluctantly:

"I am here to propose marriage to the master of your house, on behalf of Master Xie."

"You know Mr. Xie, he is gentle and good-tempered, very kind, and his family is well-off. No matter from which aspect, he is definitely a rare and perfect match."

There was another reason why she stated her purpose without hesitation. Zhu Qiping's calm eyes were too intimidating, making it impossible for people to raise the slightest intention of resistance.

"Xie Lao Er? The soft-hearted guy who's obsessed with rescuing damsels in distress and housing them all in the backyard. He dared to think that such a man would be worthy of her."

When Zhu Qi heard the word "marriage proposal", his narrow eyes immediately narrowed, like a beast ready to hunt.

After hearing who had the guts to propose marriage, his words against the other party were hurtful and his attitude was quite disdainful.

This so-called Second Young Master Xie, named Gao Zhuo, had just moved to the town with his parents.

Others may not understand, but Zhu Qi, who just returned from abroad, knows many of his unknown secrets.

Indeed, many aspects of Xie Gaozhuo were just as the matchmaker had described.

She is good-looking and has a gentle temper. As his future wife, I am afraid that she will not be scolded or beaten, and there will not even be conflicts or arguments.

Based on all of the above, being a husband seems to be a good choice.

But just based on this one shortcoming, all the previous advantages can be negated by Zhu Qi.

Xie Gaozhuo has a very gentle personality and a kind heart. If you don't know him, you might think he is some holy monk who has entered the mortal world to save others with his own sacrifice.

Sometimes, when he went out to buy things, if he met a girl who "sold herself to bury her father", he would offer a high price of silver to help her;

If someone cried and begged, he would give them a high price without hesitation.

When he was on a boat trip with friends and saw a crying prostitute, he would feel sorry for her and redeem her. If she said she had nowhere else to go, he would still take her into his house as a concubine, regardless of his reputation.

Mr. Xie’s kindness does not discriminate between men and women, but no one will say anything if a man becomes a family servant.

Many of the women knew his character and pretended to be pitiful and entered the backyard, which was not a good reputation.

His excessive softness and kindness not only shocked outsiders, but even Mr. Xie's parents found it difficult to accept.

In order to thank the second young master for his marriage, the two elders were so worried that their hair turned white.

To this end, they moved with great difficulty under the name of business, and wanted to find a girl to restrain him before his reputation of "kindness" spread.

It just so happened that Second Master Xie was out for a trip and accidentally ran into Shu Qiu who was kneeling earnestly in front of the Buddha.

Shu Qiu was born with a beautiful and graceful appearance. People who were not familiar with her would think that she was a very soft and timid girl based on her appearance.

This actually fits in with Second Master Xie's aesthetic of saving the weak.

In addition, when the two met, Shu Qiu worshipped Buddha in order to fulfill a vow, and his attitude was extremely pious, which also fits with another hobby of the Second Master Xie.

Without any hesitation, Xie Gaozhuo immediately became addicted to it.

After returning home and telling his parents, the two elders of the Xie family hurried to investigate Shu Qiu's background.

They found out that Shu Qiu was also doing business and had his own embroidery workshop which was doing very well.

This kind of girl, with a soft yet strong character, smart and courageous, is exactly what the two elders are looking for, a girl who can restrain the second young master Xie.

Without giving it much thought, the two elders of the Xie family quickly found a matchmaker to propose marriage.

The matchmaker carried a large bag of silver, made a simple comparison of the conditions of the two families, and went to the door proudly and confidently.

Who would have thought that before meeting the real boss, he would run into a tough guy.

She looked embarrassed and hesitated.

"Putting that aside, with Second Young Master Xie's conditions, many people are vying for him."
