Chapter 132

Recently, two marriages have been widely rumored in Kyoto.

The first is the marriage between the Cao and Gu families, and the second is the marriage between the talented Master Su and Yin Sanniang from the Yin family of Jeju.

The marriage between the Cao and Gu families had to happen because of a scandal, but what is puzzling is that the Su family would actually look at the merchant Yin family.

Some people speculated that it was the young lady of the Huo family who played a role in the matchmaking, so they all thought that the young lady of the Huo family was not an ordinary person.

Xiangsulou

Su Yi happily told Huo Jin and Lu Haochen how he had finally won the heart of his beautiful lady.

What the two of them couldn't stand was that he would only explain it in detail once, but every time after he finished explaining it, he would repeat it proudly.

Lu Haochen waved at him and said, "Brother Su, are you still dreaming?" Only beautiful dreams make people want to repeat them over and over again.

Su Yi chuckled, hearing his sarcasm, and said, "Brother Lu, you are just envious and jealous."

Lu Haochen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"

Su Yi smiled and said, "Look, Brother Huo has a wife and a child, and I am about to get married. Now you are the only one left among the three of us."

"And of the three of us, you're the oldest."

Lu Haochen gritted his teeth and said, "I would rather have nothing than something bad."

Su Yi sighed and said, "Who isn't? Besides, my marriage was also hard to come by."

As they spoke, the two of them couldn't help but look at Huo Jin, because they all knew that Huo Jin had been forced to marry Luo Si Niang.

Huo Jin glanced at the two of them indifferently without saying a word, just sipping his wine elegantly.

Su Yi and Lu Haochen looked at each other and saw the gossip in each other's eyes. I really want to know what Huo Jin looks like when he gets in love. It’s just that this guy hides too deeply and won’t show up easily.

Lu Haochen said: "Come to think of it, you two are really destined to meet. One is your cousin and the other is your younger cousin."

Su Yi smiled and said, "Then I will have to call Brother Huo my cousin-in-law from now on."

Huo Jin said calmly, "Of course!"

Su Yi bowed to him and said respectfully, "Cousin-in-law!"

The corners of Lu Haochen's lips twitched, and he called out so smoothly, "I say, you two asked me out today just to cause trouble for me, right?"

Su Yi said: "How dare I!"

"Come, let's drink to celebrate my wish coming true, and I also wish Brother Lu can find his ideal partner soon."

The three of them raised their glasses and drank them all.

After a few drinks, Lu Haochen was a little tipsy. He thought for a while and asked Su Yi, somewhat obscurely: "Brother Su, do you know Lord He, a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Personnel?"

Su Yi blinked and said, "I just hold a sinecure and don't even have to attend court. How would I know him? You should ask Brother Huo."

Huo Jin looked at him and said, "He Xiuhan is a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel and is from the He family in Jeju."

Su Yi curled his lips and said with disdain: "Is it the old man who let his son marry the daughter of the Xie family for his future?"

Lu Haochen looked at him in surprise and asked, "You know him?"

Su Yi nodded and said, "I know. Asan told me."

Thinking of Lu Haochen's meaningful smile at Puguang Temple, he asked the waiter to bring two more glasses, filled them with wine, and said, "Brother Lu, come on, you have to drink three glasses in a row."

"Why?"

"Humph, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. You knew about Ah Shan and He Yuanshan's affair before, but you kept it from me. You are such an incompetent good brother. You have to drink a penalty."

"Don't you know it now?" Lu Haochen said.

Su Yi glared at him and said, "How can it be the same? If you told me earlier, I would know her concerns earlier and resolve my worries earlier."

As he said that, he brought three glasses of wine and placed them in front of Lu Haochen.

Lu Haochen pursed his lips. He didn’t want to drink. What should he do!

He said pitifully, "Brother Su, please let me go. If I go back drunk, there won't be anyone to take care of me."

"Brother Lu, when you get married in the future you will also have to toast to your relatives and friends. Just consider this as advance preparation." Su Yi said with a smile.

Lu Haochen had no choice but to drink it.

"Miss Yin is such a strange girl. Normally, girls would try to hide something like this, but I didn't expect her to be so frank."

Su Yi looked arrogant and said, "That's right, don't you see whose eyes you are looking at?"

As he spoke, he looked at Huo Jin standing beside him and said teasingly, "Brother Huo, has your wife ever told you about her past?"

Lu Haochen also looked at Huo Jin with curiosity.

Huo Jin's originally cold face suddenly became even colder.

Su Yi smiled and said, “Brother Huo, if you want to know, I can ask Ah Shan for you.”

Huo Jin pursed his lips and said coldly: "No need."

Lu Haochen coughed lightly and said to Su Yi, "Brother Su, people's words are scary. You still have to make some preparations for the matter between Miss Yin and He Yuanshan. Otherwise, it will be bad if someone uses Miss Yin's past to make trouble."

Su Yi nodded and said, "This is natural."

"But after our wedding is over, I plan to apply for a transfer."

"Out loud?" Lu Haochen was stunned.

Huo Jin asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Su Yi said: "Of course, the state capital with beautiful scenery is the best, but in the end it depends on how the higher-ups send us."

"Brother Huo, didn't you also want to apply for an external post? How about we do it together?"

Huo Jin drank a glass of wine and said, "I asked my father, but he didn't agree." The situation in the court is unclear now. Although the Huo family does not want to get involved in party struggles, they still have to watch for the future of the Huo family. After knowing that Ayan liked to go out and play, he made plans to go out. But the timing is not right now, so he can only put it on hold for the time being.

Huo Mansion

Luo Chaoyan sat at her desk looking at the dazzling array of account books and felt like life was meaningless. She used to think that her uncle's family was very wealthy because they were a merchant family and had shops in many states. I didn't expect that the Huo family has such good financial background, they are indeed a century-old family.

Fengli rubbed her eyes and said pitifully, "Young Madam, isn't this a bit too much?"

Luo Chaoyan also said with a bitter look on her face: "It's indeed too much."

Shu Lan sighed and said, "I heard Nanny Song say that this is the general account book."

"ah?"

Luo Chaoyan and Fengli couldn't help but wail. It's so arrogant and inhumane.

"It's better to be a girl!" Luo Chaoyan sighed. This reminded her of the fact that some people nowadays are afraid of getting married because marriage is a heavy burden. Car loans and mortgages often make people feel suffocated.

But she was lucky. She was reborn into the ancient times without financial pressure, but she didn't have much freedom. She couldn't just hand in a letter of resignation and go on a trip when she was tired or annoyed like in modern times.

She was still lost in thought when she heard Fengli and Shulan bow and shout in unison, "Master!"

Luo Chaoyan stood up and saluted him. She saw that he looked a little gloomy and confused. Who made him angry?
