Chapter 120 Choosing a Man?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si's heart skipped a beat.
What to choose? A man?
Seeing Ninth Master's suppressed laughter, Jiang Si suddenly remembered something else.
She remembered that when her mother got married, her third great-uncle seemed to have prepared more than a dozen strong and powerful bodyguards as part of her dowry.
However, back then, it was quite common for wealthy families to have bodyguards and maids as part of the dowry.
I've heard that some families even prepare these things for their maids.
But this is a new society now. If we continue with this kind of thing, we'll probably get our backs ripped off.
And given how jealous her husband is...
Jiang Si was certain that if she chose a man to take home today, she wouldn't be able to leave her room for the next few days.
Last time, some hothead confessed his feelings to Huo Tingzhou in front of him and, to make matters worse, called him "uncle"!
He didn't say anything at the time, but men subconsciously have a competitive spirit.
Because of this, Jiang Si suffered a lot in her back, and it took a long time to coax him until she recovered.
"What, not even one?"
Seeing that Jiang Si remained silent for a long time, Ninth Master thought to himself that this was not right, as these items were all selected according to the conditions set by the old man.
Thinking this, he glanced at the old man.
The expression on Third Uncle's face at this moment was also quite indescribable.
I don't know what these big guys ate to grow up like this, they're all so broad-shouldered and burly.
The muscles on his arms are so exaggerated that it looks like he could tear the sleeve with just a little force.
Is this someone here to back you up?
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were there to kidnap a bride!
Seeing that the old man's expression was not right, Uncle Zhong immediately reached out his hand.
"You've all worked hard today. Come with me and take a break."
After the others left, the third uncle said irritably, "This is the one you carefully selected?"
Hearing this tone, Ninth Master knew that the old man was dissatisfied.
Third Uncle was naturally not satisfied!
"I want you to find a few people who are good-looking, over 180cm tall, and preferably the kind who are both literate and martial."
"Look at the people you found. Apart from the height, what other criteria do they meet?"
"Yes, yes, these few are indeed quite average-looking."
"But one against three is no problem, I can definitely guard the door on the wedding day!"
"I need them to be there just to make a show of things, not to guard the gate."
The third uncle was furious. "The young couple has already registered their marriage. Are you going to block the door on their wedding day and not let them in?"
Not only did Ninth Master not understand what was being said, but Jiang Si was also completely baffled.
"Third Uncle, what are you trying to prove?"
Even if she could find someone like that, she couldn't accept him.
At this moment, Third Uncle looked over with a pained expression.
“You don’t have any brothers or sisters. It’s such a big event for you to get married. It’s so lonely with just the two old men, Ah Zhong and me, seeing you off.”
Jiang Si hadn't expected this reason, and her nose suddenly felt a little sore.
"I don't care about anything else, as long as you and Uncle Zhong are there to see me off on my wedding day."
That's what they say, but Third Uncle still hopes that her wedding day will be lively and festive.
"But Ninth Master has already sent over a few people, why are you still not satisfied?"
"No, it's too ugly, I can't even show it to anyone."
This was Jiang Si's first marriage in both her previous and current lives, so she didn't know much about wedding customs.
All she knew was that some families would put up pictures of cute babies in their rooms before having a baby.
They say that the more you see, the better your baby will be.
But right now, she and Huo Tingzhou have no plans to have children.
Even if she were alive, there's no need for her to stare at these young men.
Third Uncle shook his head and gave her a look that said, "You don't understand."
How could a man not understand men?
Let's take Shen Xiuwen as an example, not to mention those from far away.
When he was pursuing Xiaoman, who would have thought that such a humble, polite, and gentle man would have fathered several illegitimate children behind the scenes?
Huo Tingzhou was someone he had watched grow up, and he had previously said that the kid was quite good.
Who knows what will happen next?
Thinking of this, the Third Uncle said with a solemn expression, "Girl, you must remember that a man's words and any promises he makes only count when he loves you. So just listen to what he says and don't take it too seriously."
"I'll say it again: the Jiang family has the financial backing to protect you, so never wrong yourself."
"Third Uncle, I know."
Before loving anyone else, Jiang Si will love herself first.
Even if she has children in the future, she will still prioritize her own thoughts and wishes.
First and foremost, she is herself; only secondly is she her mother.
"It's good that you know."
Third Uncle patted her hand. "Isn't there a saying that three-legged toads are hard to find in this world, but two-legged men are plentiful?"
"This one is naughty, let's get a different one!"
"Your mother didn't understand this principle back then. You must never be like her and hang yourself on a crooked tree."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si chuckled.
I never expected my third uncle to be so open-minded.
After hearing these words, Ninth Master showed a look of sudden realization.
So the old man wasn't choosing a bride, but rather someone for Miss Si Si...
Or you could say that the old man wanted to take this opportunity to tell the Huo family that although the Jiang family is not what it used to be, it doesn't have to do with the Huo family.
As long as Miss Si Si is willing, there are plenty of other choices in this world.
If that's the case, then he understands.
Ninth Master immediately stood up. "Don't worry, sir. I'll go back and carefully select a few more young men. I guarantee they won't disappoint Miss Si Si..."
Before he could finish speaking, Uncle Zhong's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
"Comrade Huo, it's cold outside. You should take the old man and the others inside to warm up for a while."
Because the group of people had been carrying things, the gate of the courtyard house was open.
When Huo Tingzhou and his group arrived, they happened to overhear Ninth Master's last words.
[Select a few young men; I guarantee they won't disappoint Miss Si Si...]
When Jiang Si heard the name "Comrade Huo," she subconsciously looked over.
At this moment, Huo Tingzhou's aggressive face did not show much expression.
But Jiang Si could still see through the complex emotions surging in his eyes at a glance.
With such a gaze fixed on her, it was hard for Jiang Si not to feel guilty.
Realizing what was happening, she immediately greeted them, "Grandpa and Grandma, please have a seat."
Grandpa and Grandma Huo nodded with smiles.
They had heard what was said, but these were matters between the young couple, and they couldn't be bothered to get involved.
Moreover, the elderly couple were in unprecedented agreement on this matter.
Both of them thought that the third brother was good in every way, except that he was a bit introverted.
So it's good to let him get anxious once.
He'll get anxious and then he'll know what to do.
Jiang Si couldn't tell whether Huo Tingzhou was in a hurry or not, but she was definitely in a hurry.
Before Grandpa and Grandma Huo could even sit down, she walked over to Huo Tingzhou's side.
"When did you arrive? We were just discussing the wedding arrangements. We owe this to Ninth Master; he found a few people for us."
Upon hearing this, Huo Tingzhou's expression finally softened slightly. "Thank you for your trouble, Ninth Master."
Ninth Master wasn't stupid either. Sensing that something was off, he quickly chimed in, echoing Jiang Si's words.
"It's nothing, it's just a small favor, Miss Si Si, please don't be so polite."
Knowing they still had things to talk about, Ninth Master didn't stay any longer.
The main reason is that Miss Si Si's man has a very cold gaze.
He's old and gets cold easily!
