Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

Zhong Tian turned and left, waving behind him: "Go back and tell Xia Fang that although I am a bad person, I will not tolerate others' insults. I want to see her sincerity within three days."

three days?

Xia Fang couldn't wait any longer. Three days was the deadline Zhong Tian had given her, and also the deadline her aunt had given him. If the glass couldn't be sold after three days, she would hire someone to smash all the glass on the ship to save it from taking up space.

When Zhongtian returned to the mountain, Xia Jin'an had already placed the takeout on the table, filling it with food, but she hadn't touched it.

"Why aren't you eating? I brought this for you," Zhongtian asked, puzzled.

Xia Jin'an received the food from Jin Xia in the afternoon. Jin Xia was an outsider, and he couldn't meet her directly, but Jin Xia insisted on signing it herself, so he came out with the curtains.

Jin Xia was reasonable and composed, without looking up at his face. As she left, she remarked with a touch of emotion, "The master of the house knows how to care for people."

These words instantly made his face turn bright red. He stared blankly at the intersection where Zhongtian was going home, and his face still felt hot.

"I can't bear to eat it, I'm waiting for my master to eat it together!"

Zhongtian rubbed his legs; he'd been climbing up and down all day, his exercise was excessive, and his legs were really sore: "I brought this especially for you; I've already eaten out."

Xia Jin'an obediently sat down and ate slowly and deliberately, savoring each bite. Zhong Tian thought that Xia Jin'an must come from a prestigious family, and that eating was an enjoyment for a person with such manners, as beautiful as a painting.

After finishing her meal, Xia Jin'an squatted down at Zhong Tian's feet and gently massaged him with her hands: "Master, I have learned some massage techniques. Please give it a try."

Sure enough, I feel much better.

"Thank you."

Xia Jin'an lowered his eyes and didn't speak, his lips full of smiles, but his smile was slightly stiff. He smelled a strong smell of alcohol and a very faint smell of perfume.

...

Zhongtian went to see the piglets. The piglets were white and chubby, and had started to gain weight in the past two days. They had lost their initial aggression, and would only grunt and squeal when Zhongtian kicked them.

This is her baby!

For the past two days, Xia Jin'an had been wondering where the smell of alcohol and perfume came from, wondering if it was from a brothel.

It was only natural for a young woman to go to a brothel for social engagements, but he felt quite bitter. Two days later, he discovered that Zhongtian had been staying at home and only came out of his small room to eat.

Xia Jin'an wasn't curious; she just carefully curled up to the side, making clothes for Zhong Tian, ​​only calling her out to eat when it was time to eat.

The man's family should only focus on domestic affairs and should not overstep their bounds or interfere with the woman's work.

Until… “Jin’an, can you write?”

Xia Jin'an leaned closer and looked at Xia Jin'an's handwriting with some surprise. She could tell she had tried hard, but… the result…

Not only were the characters written strangely, but they were also incorrect. Only then did Xia Jin'an realize that this woman, who looked extraordinary, was actually the daughter of a hunter, uneducated and infamous.

"What the lord wrote...is very interesting..."

Zhongtian blushed deeply. For a modern person, it is very difficult to write good calligraphy without professional training.

Xia Jin'an smiled, then hesitated before speaking: "How about I teach you to write, my lord?"

Xia Jin'an's handwriting is very elegant, clearly showing that he has studied under a master. When he was young, he worked very hard to become the young master's tutor, and now he can finally put his skills to good use.

Xia Jin'an held the pen and wrote stroke by stroke.

The candlelight cast their silhouettes on the window, making them look like lovers embracing. Xia Jin'an glanced at them and blushed.

The two were very close, and Zhongtian could smell the distinct scent of soap on Xia Jin'an. Xia Jin'an would use soap to wash her clothes until they were very clean and then dry them in the sun.

He smelled of soap and sunshine.

What should be written?

"...Proposal."

Zhongtian had some ideas about Xia Fang's matter, but the specific details still needed to be carefully planned. She believed that her cooperation with Xia Fang could succeed.

Xia Jin'an didn't ask any questions, but simply wrote the words neatly on the paper.

Sure enough, the next morning, at the crack of dawn, Song Jinshu arrived with sincerity.

Looking at the dilapidated, remote mountain place, Song Jinshu shook her head in confusion: "You live here?"

“Yes…is there something wrong?” Zhong Tian was practicing calligraphy when Xia Jin’an told him that one should practice calligraphy in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer.

Song Jinshu stepped forward to take a look, but Zhong Tian twisted his body, blocking her way completely.

Song Jinshu didn't mind, "I thought with your abilities, you'd at least own a three-courtyard house in the city..."

Nakata naturally replied, "Once this deal is done, I'll have it."

Song Jinshu suddenly noticed a probing gaze sweeping over him, filled with aggression, like fine needles pricking him.

Song Jinshu then noticed that there was a man in the room. With his discerning eye, even though the person opposite him was wearing a veil, he could tell that he was a handsome man.

He looked at Zhong Tian, ​​who was practicing calligraphy with a serious expression, and teased, "You don't have a house, but you do have a handsome man to keep you company. Zhong Niangzi, you're quite lucky!"

"Don't make fun of me... Manager Song doesn't come here unless he has something important to say."

Song Jinshu stopped paying attention to the man and said seriously, "Madam Xia sent me. She agreed..."

"What you say is unfounded!"

Song Jinshu looked at her: "You are indeed cautious... This is Lady Xia's document, which has already been sent to the government office and stamped with the official seal."

Zhongtian took it and greeted Xia Jin'an.

"Jin An, come here!"

Xia Jin'an walked over: "Master."

"You see?"

Xia Jin'an looked at it carefully and nodded.

Song Jinshu continued, "However, Madam Xia has a request: you must sell 20 items within two days!"

"no problem…"

"Not urgent…"

"Madam Xia also said that if 20 items are not sold within two days, she will not ask for more; she will just compensate him one guan per item."

"no problem…"

Zhong Tian nodded to Xia Jin'an, who then handed Song Jinshu a stack of papers.

The characters above are elegant and graceful, displaying an extraordinary style.

"what is this?"

"Go back and let Madam Xia see it; she'll understand."

After Song Jinshu left, Xia Jin'an's tense body finally relaxed a little. Song Jinshu had been through thick and thin with women, and was very shrewd and charming.

What bothered him even more was that the faint scent of perfume on Zhongtian's body came from this Manager Song.
