CHAPTER 1 - TWO SMALL GUESSES

Many years later, Zuo Yiquan still remembered the scene when he met Guo Jianwei.

At that time, her family was the wealthiest in the area, and no matter where she went, she could feel many pairs of envious eyes looking at her. What she liked to do the most was secretly scatter the golden leaves of her family onto the streets from the tall buildings, and she felt an indescribable pleasure when she saw people trying to snatch them away. She also liked to set up a stall by the street and post a notice that whenever someone told a joke to her, she would award money to that person. Zuo Yizun continued to do so until she was ten, when another wealthy family moved to this village.

It was a sunny day, and the weather was still clear. Zuo Yizun brought her servants to the pond, ready to do a big job, but it was actually more or less the same as buying fish, this pond was contracted and didn't have a single fish, and Zuo Yiping would pay many times more than the market price to buy it. Because the fish in this pond were easy to fish and Zuo Yiping liked coming here, the village's fishing industry had once flourished, so it was only a chance for Miss Zuo to fish in their pond.

As usual, Miss Zuo soon felt fish being caught, but when she tried to pull the fish up, she could feel another magical force pulling the fish in another direction. Looking around, she noticed a small body like hers struggling to pull the rod, she could only see the side of his face, but could see his straight nose.

Zuo Yizun yelled at him, Hey, let go of me! The boy turned his head to look at her when he heard the sound, and Lefty could see his face now. The boy was very cute, with long, perky eyelashes, round, watery eyes, and a face so dark and shiny it looked as if it might come out if he pinched it.

Zuo Yiping suddenly forgot that he was trying to teach him a lesson and blurted out, Are you a boy or a girl?

Zuo Yizhen felt that he was the most beautiful person she had ever seen. Although her family said that she was very good-looking, and she looked into the pond, she still kept some distance from the boy in front of her. In her mind, this was the only way for a girl to possess her. In the end they pulled the fish up together, and it was hard to tell who the fish belonged to when the greedy fish had been holding on to their poles, and that was easy enough for Zuo Yiquan to do.

She said to the boss, If I offer 100 taels, the fish will belong to me. Just as he was about to agree, a large stack of banknotes suddenly appeared in front of him. It was the banknotes that the boy had just taken out, Zuo Yiping was very angry, and in this village, there was actually someone who wanted to fight with her for wealth, a humiliation she had never felt before. She also took out a larger stack of banknotes and placed it in front of the boss.

The boy seemed a little tired. He yawned, then said to Zuo Yizhen, I'm sleepy. Since you want it that much, I'll give you this fish.

He was about to leave when he patted the boss on the shoulder and said, That's all I can do for you. Zuo Yiping stared after him as he left, until she realized that he was the new rich and foreign person who had moved to this village. Zuo Yiquan suddenly felt that his life had become a bit more enjoyable.

This boy who was about her age was called Guo Jiawai, although he liked fishing just like her, he didn't like to throw away money like her. When she threw money, he would look at her with disdain, but in the end, she couldn't help but ask him why, so Guo Jiayi put both of his hands on his chest and said in a high voice, You didn't help them. You hurt them, and you got them into the habit of not getting what they wanted.

Zuo Yiping tilted his head. So?

Guo Jianwei continued, This won't be beneficial for them to start their own business and get rich.

Zuo Yiping tilted his head again. After some thought, he said, It doesn't matter if they get rich or not. In any case, they don't have as much money as my family. You don't know that my father hates people who are richer than him.

Guo Jianwei looked at her in disappointment, shook his head and walked away. Zuo Yiping saw his disappointment and was afraid that he would never play with her again, so he decided to change his habit of throwing away money. But Guo also said that her activities of telling jokes and winning the prize would lead to a lot of people not doing their jobs and focusing on jokes was even scarier than selling calligraphy and paintings.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zuo Yi Zhen said to him, Damn it, without this, are you going to tell me jokes in the future?

Guo Jianwei thought for a moment. He was usually full of poetry books, so how could a mere joke be hard on him? Thus, he agreed to her request. When the elders of the two clans saw that they were playing so harmoniously, they both said in satisfaction, How about we have them set up an engagement?

In this way, they were unwittingly married.

They often talked about their own matters together. Zuo Yiping said that she had been kidnapped before and escaped from the kidnappers with her wisdom. Guo Jianwei refused to believe it even if he thought about it and Zuo Yiping said honestly, You should at least think about it. You can't be so distrustful when you're a friend.

Guo Jianwei said, Trust me with a principle, and distinguish between right and wrong.

In this way, Zuo Yiping developed an illusion that Guo Jianwei was thinking of a higher realm than her. He said that as long as he had the time, he would go to his father's shop to have a look. He said that his family was in the business, and he also came with her family, and he also said that he had spent a lot of books on sages since he was young, so that he could get a good wife when he grew up, but Zuo Yi felt that as long as he had money, it would be fine. For example, his father had several wives and concubines.

Guo Jianwei looked at her with disdain. Knowing that she was being ingratiated, Zuo Yi immediately said to him, Don't worry. If you can't get a wife, I'll pay for a few of them for you. What do you say? Guo Jiawei rolled his eyes at her.

Guo told Zuo Yizhen that he had been taken for a girl twice and teased by the boys. Sometimes he was troubled by his appearance.

Zuo Yiping patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, Maybe they didn't treat you as a girl, they just wanted to cut off your sleeves. Guo Jianwei slapped her hand away in disgust and said, Zuo Yiquan, you're so young, how do you know so much?

Zuo Yizun thought about it and said, Didn't you say to let me read more? I got my servant to buy some for me. He said it was the best for sale on the market. Guo Jiawei twitched and said, Come to my study, I'll lend you some books.

So Zuo Yiping happily followed him. Guo Jianwei didn't understand why she was so excited, but he had a faint premonition in his heart. When they arrived at the study room, Zuo Yiping was flipping through the books, looking around curiously as if he had never read them before. Guo Jianwei could only remind her from time to time, Just take it lightly. In the end, Guo Jiawei selected a few books of ancient poems for her.

As she was about to leave, Zuo Yizun noticed that there were a few paintings on his desk. She immediately leaned over to look, exclaiming, Wow, it looks like it.

Guo Jianwei couldn't help smiling shyly as he replied humbly, No, I don't think so.

Zuo Yizun continued, I'm serious. This cat is very lifelike.

Guo Jianwei's face immediately darkened, That's a lion …

Zuo Yiquan laughed awkwardly, then he turned the painting up and said, It must be a problem with the angle. You'll know it's a lion just by looking at it, hur hur.

Guo Jianwei also gave a dull smile, Hur Hur.

Zuo Yizun suddenly said, Why don't you help me draw one? Draw me.

Guo Jiawei looked at her pretty face for a moment, then said, People are too hard to draw. I've never painted one before.

Zuo Yizun yelled, That cat also... That lion has eyes, ears, nose, legs, isn't it the same? Besides, you are so good at painting, so you will definitely be able to do it.

Guo Jianwei was convinced by her last sentence and agreed to draw for her.

Guo Jianwei told her to pose for a while, while Zuo Yiquan showed off the charming postures of the girls at the show. Guo Jianwei pouted and said, This pose will be maintained for several hours. When Zuo Yizun heard this, he immediately got a chair and sat down. Then he closed his eyes and said, I'll go to sleep first. You've finished drawing. Wake me up.

Guo Jianwei's face was about to spasm. This sleeping posture is really … He sighed. Well, it didn't matter if she was serious or not, so he drew the first painting of his life. He looked at the little girl from the left, err, she was the one who was the most quiet when she was sleeping, she could actually maintain a position for several hours. Seeing her sleeping appearance, Guo Jianwei had a bad feeling, he took the brush and lightly approached her, then slowly drew on her face, finally he nodded in satisfaction, put down his tools, and patted her back to wake her up.

Zuo Yiping opened his eyes with great difficulty, stretched himself, and yawned. So fast. Come, let me have a look.

Guo Jianwei proudly took out the masterpiece that he had spent so much time drawing. Speaking of which, he had never spent so much time on any painting. Zuo Yiquan glanced at the painting and said, Guo Jianwei, did you give it to me wrongly?

Guo Jianwei looked at the painting. The ink hadn't even dried yet. He nodded and said affirmatively, It's this one. That's right.

Zuo Yiping impatiently said, Stop playing and quickly take it out. This is clearly that... Let me see, it's just a little bit different. Did you draw two lions?"

CHAPTER 2 - FIXED MARRIAGE

The corner of Guo Jiawei's mouth immediately drooped down, You're the lion, your entire family is made up of lions.

Zuo Yi couldn't understand why he was so angry, but he must have been angry for a reason. Oh, this is a cat, not a lion, not a lion.

Guo Jianwei poked at the painting and said, "Look! The line of saliva at the corner of your mouth, which flowed down along this curve when you were sleeping.

Zuo Yizun was stunned, What? You said that I was drooling in my sleep?!

Guo Jianwei nodded, You still have some at the corner of your mouth, why don't you know? Ah, no, let's talk about this painting. The one inside is really you.

Zuo Yizhu didn't want to argue with him, so she turned the painting upside down and said, It still looks like it.

No matter how he looked at it, Guo Jianwei still felt that she was trying to trick him. Thus, he said, I don't care, you have to hang it. Hmm, just hang it in your living room.

Zuo Yiping thought about it and said, No, my father doesn't allow paintings other than the God of Fortune to be hung in the lobby.

Guo Jianwei then said, Then I'll hang it in your room. Zuo Yiping finally understood what it meant to use a rock to smack one's own foot. At the same time, he also understood that whatever Fourth Mother cooked, it would taste the same. Meanwhile, Guo Jiayi looked the same no matter what he painted.

In the blink of an eye, six years had passed. Guo Jianwei had grown up to be a graceful young man, and his strong figure was no longer feminine. His mother no longer had to worry that he would be recognized as a girl, while Zuo Yi had grown up to be a slim and graceful little girl. Sixteen years old was about to get married, so the two families decided to have a meal together. Master Guo said to Guo Jianwei and Zuo Yizhen, All these years, you two have gotten along pretty well. Actually, we had already arranged a marriage for you two since a long time ago, you two shouldn't blame us for too much.

Guo Jianwei and Zuo Yizun looked at each other at the same time, used to seeing each other as brothers and sisters. Suddenly saying that they were going to get married, it felt weird, but for a rich person like them, marrying someone they knew was already a very happy thing, so they didn't say anything. It was just that they didn't usually let it go.

After the feast was over, the two lords arranged for the two of them to go out for a walk. They couldn't help but feel awkward, as they seemed so quiet on the busy streets. In the end, Guo Jiawei broke the silence by asking, Yiquan, do you have any thoughts?

Zuo Yiping looked at him, then shook his head. Guo Jianwei also shook his head and said, I don't have any, but I've known you for so long, and I've always treated you as my sister. I always feel weird when I suddenly say that I want to marry you, don't you think?

Zuo Yiping looked at him for a long moment, then said, Then will you break off the engagement?

Guo Jianwei looked up at the moon in the sky, That won't happen. Furthermore, my dad's tone just now was clearly an order. I reneged on the marriage, I want to die.

Zuo Yizun was also looking into the distance, deep in thought. Then he turned to him and said, Then you can leave your next life to me. Isn't it just a marriage? It's a very simple matter. Don't think about it so complicated.

Guo Jianwei scoffed, You're thinking too simply. Do you think it's that easy to live together? There is a lot to be done between husband and wife.

Zuo Yiquan tilted his head to the side out of habit and asked, What are you going to do?

Guo Jiawei asked, Haven't you read the book that a lot of people have been secretly reading recently?

Zuo Yi Zhen thought for a while and blushed. Guo Jianwei suddenly said, Sigh, only talking about this with you won't make me feel awkward. I really don't feel that way about you.

Zuo Yiping: … I'm embarrassed to death.

The night market in the Peach Blossom Village was the most beautiful, so Guo Jiayi usually went out sneaking around the streets. Today was no exception, he originally wanted Zuo Yizun to go with him, but she said she would practice embroidery because it didn't look like anything, so her mother insisted that she practice it until the end. Guo Jiawei comforted her for a moment. In his heart, he thought that other than the fact that this Zuo Yiping looked like a girl, he was also a man. With his potential here, he couldn't go out with her anymore.

The bright moon was in the sky, and a cool breeze was blowing from the distance. Guo Jianwei bought a few mutton skewers and ate while strolling, and he was very interested. As he was passing by the alleyway, he suddenly heard a girl shouting, and when he got closer, that girl was clearly shouting, Help! Come here! Don't come over! Help! Help! "

When he got closer, he found that the bad guys were all very strong, there were seven of them, but Guo Jiawei was not weak either. He had practiced martial arts since he was young, and only made himself look more manly. Unfortunately, his face betrayed him. Guo Jianwei pulled the girl behind him, then he stabbed the big men one by one with the skewers of mutton bamboo sticks. The bamboo sticks flew out like sharp swords and cut into the meat, the big men all fell down to the ground and begged for forgiveness. Guo Jianwei didn't care about them, he immediately grabbed the girl's hand and ran out of the dark alley.

After running back to the bustling market, Guo Jiawei stopped and the two of them sat on the ground panting. Only then did Guo Jianwei get a clear look at the girl's face. Her facial features were not abnormal, and she did not have a pair of crystal clear eyes.

The girl noticed that Guo Jianwei had been looking at her, and couldn't help looking down shyly. Guo Jianwei realized his rudeness, so he quickly said, I'm sorry, because the light here isn't good, I wanted to see you clearly, that's why I looked at you a few more times. I definitely don't have any intention of offending you.

The girl lowered her head even more bashfully. Guo Jianwei continued to quibble, Actually, the girl looks like a friend of mine, so I have an inexplicable feeling of intimacy. I hope that you won't take offense to her.

The young girl finally spoke. I'm not sorry. The Young Master saved Xiangxiang, but Xiangxiang isn't able to thank him in time.

Xiangxiang? Guo Jianwei repeated the name again. Not only was his voice pleasant to the ears, even his name sounded so sweet and gentle.

Li Xiangxiang looked at him and said, May I ask Young Master's name so that I can repay you in the future?

I'm Guo Jianwei, and you don't know my name? Guo Jianwei said in surprise.

I just moved here with my mother, so I lost my way because I didn't know the way here. I didn't expect to be targeted by those people, Young Master Guo. If you didn't appear, I don't know what would have happened to Xiangxiang now. Xiangxiang will definitely repay you well.

Guo Jianwei waved his hand, No need, it's a simple task. I'm not helping people for the reward. Just be careful next time. Don't come out at night again.

Li Xiangxiang smiled lightly, soft and elegant. Alright, Xiangxiang will be leaving now. If fate wills it, we'll meet again.

With that, he turned around and walked away. Guo Jianwei chased after him, Miss, it's already so late. Let me send you back.

Li Xiangxiang shook her head first. No, this would be too troublesome for Young Master. Guo Jianwei laughed, It's no trouble at all. My mom said that they need help to the end. Otherwise, what will you do if you meet another bad person?

Li Xiangxiang smiled. Then I'll be troubling Young Master.

As a result, two slender silhouettes slowly disappeared into the night. Zuo Yiquan silently looked at the two silhouettes and muttered, So there was someone accompanying them. To think that I was even working so hard to repair that broken thing to such a beautiful state. She clutched at the crappy thing and tossed it into a corner.

Among Zuo Yiping's few hobbies, planting flowers could be considered as one. At the beginning, when her family saw her busy figure in the garden, they thought that she was helping them to get money from the gardeners and were very touched. However, they realized that they were overthinking …

It was another good day. Zuo Yiquan went into the garden to mow the flowers and grasses, and with a cut of his sword, he cursed, Dead man Guo Jiawai, bastard Guo Jianwei …

Cousin. Did you miss me?

Zuo Yizun was carefully pruning the flowers and cursing out loud. Suddenly, he saw someone jump out from the bushes and shouted, Come! A rapist!

Zuo Chen Xing immediately went forward and covered her mouth, What are you shouting for, I'm your cousin!

Zuo Chunxing glanced at him, then motioned for him to let go. Zuo Chunxing let go and said, Oh, Mother. You want to strangle me.

Only then did Zuo Chen Xing realize that his other hand was still holding onto her tightly. He immediately let go of her and said in a spoiled manner, Cousin, it's been so long since we last met. Don't you miss your cousin?

Zuo Yiping pushed him away a little and said expressionlessly, Yes. Zuo Chen Xing spread out his hands and said, Then give me a hug. Zuo Yiping stood up and said in a serious tone, Cousin, we're all big now, it's time to avoid being taboo.

Zuo Chen Xing also stood up, looked around and said, There's no one here. Come, let's secretly carry one. Zuo Yiping said more seriously, It's not a matter of whether there are people here or not. Your cousin I have already been engaged to someone else.

Zuo Chen Xing was stunned, then he laughed: Haha, cousin, what are you joking about? How could anyone fall for you?

Zuo Yiping puffed out his cheeks, Your cousin, I, am so good-looking, how could no one want her? Look at my eyes, my family said she was the most beautiful.

Zuo Chen Xing restrained his smile and asked: Then who are you betrothed to?

A hint of disappointment flashed across Zuo Yiping's eyes as he said, Just that punk Guo Jianwei.

Zuo Chen Xing leaned his head over, You don't seem happy, you don't want to marry?

Zuo Yizun curled his lips, It's him who doesn't want to marry. Zuo Chen Xing moved closer to her, Then do you like him?

CHAPTER 3 - COUSIN

Zuo Yiping looked up at the sky and after a while, he said, I don't know either.

Suddenly realizing that Zuo Chen Xing was very close to her, she pushed him away and said: Cousin brother, have you never learned etiquette and shame? Don't you know that men and women shouldn't be too intimate with each other?

Zuo Chen Xing started to act coquettishly again, grabbing her shoulders and shaking her, Cousin, now that you have a husband, you don't need a cousin anymore.

Zuo Yiquan rolled his eyes, What do I need you for when I have a husband? Right, you're already so old, why isn't Auntie forcing you to get married yet? Like they forced me out of the game when I was sixteen."

Zuo Chen Xing frowned, Cousin, don't be so vulgar. They must have their reason for doing this. They are old, so I hope you can find them sooner.

Zuo Yiping thought about it, There's no need for that. Now, as long as my father leaves me with his fortune, he can feed us for the rest of our lives.

Zuo Chen Xing patted her on the shoulder and said, Cousin, during the time I wasn't here, your mental state has dropped again. Is it because you're often with Guo Jianwei?

Zuo Yiping looked at him in disdain, Cousin, you make it sound like you're being noble. Now that I've settled my marriage, I'm actually very worried about you. Quickly find a cousin and come back.

Zuo Chen Xing tapped her forehead and said, You have to take care of my lord's matters.

Zuo Yi retorted, I'm already about to get married, so how can I not be considered an adult?

Zuo Chen Xing attacked her again, If I say so, so be it. Thus, Zuo Chen Xing ran around the garden like he was chased by a dog.

Guo Jianwei looked at the young boy and girl chasing after him in the distance. He pursed his lips and handed a bag of things to the servant beside him, Give these mutton skewers to Miss Zuo, I have to leave first. With that, he turned and left.

Cousin, do you remember a very ugly painting hanging in your room? Is it still hanging?

Zuo Chen Xing suddenly asked. Zuo Yiping tidied up the hair that had been messed up by Chasing Hair and said, That's right, what's wrong?

Zuo Chen Xing tidied up his own clothes and said, It's nothing, I've been learning Painting. I wanted to practice with you.

Zuo Yiping patted his shoulder, You found the right person. If you painted me, even if you didn't, you wouldn't have been that ugly.

Zuo Chen Xing smirked, Cousin, you're thinking too much. I'm just looking for someone to train with.

One hour later …

Cousin, do you even have the experience of being painted Dan Qing? Why don't you put on a normal posture for me?

Zuo Chen Xing put down the brush he was about to pick up. Zuo Yizun posed another pose and asked, Is that so? Can't I? Then how about this?"

No, like a pile of shit.

Zuo Yizun pouted and waved to him, Come over and help me wave, quick.

Zuo Chen Xing said seriously: Didn't you say that men and women shouldn't touch each other?

Zuo Yiping waved his hand, It's fine. No one can see you. Hurry.

Zuo Chen Xing guided her, Your hands should be like this, your feet should be like this, like this …

Guo Jianwei stared at the couple who stood very close to each other in a daze. One of the servants from the Zuo family asked cautiously, What did Master Guo bring to Miss this time?

Guo Jianwei came back to his senses, he grabbed a handful of the flowers beside his hand and passed them to the servant, Bring this to your young miss. With that, he left in large strides. The servant looked at his departing back, puzzled. Young Master Guo was really weird today.

It was another beautiful day, and Master Guo was on
