Chapter 543 The Su Family Wants to See You
The temperature warms up at the end of February, and there is still some time before spring sowing.
The people in the exile area would visit each other and gossip during their free time.
There are really some hot topics that we cannot help but talk about.
The heated discussion about accepting refugees at the border has not yet passed, and new things have happened in the princess's fiefdom.
The Su family of Tubei Village has announced that they want to find marriage partners for their sons!
It’s the Su family of Princess Mingyue!
As soon as the news came out, it immediately overshadowed all the gossip outside and became the most popular topic in the Land of Exile, with no one else to talk about it!
"The Su family has three boys. The eldest, Su An, is 27 years old. The second and third are twins, 26 years old! They are all handsome in appearance! And their abilities are also very impressive—"
In the inner city tavern, the drinkers spoke passionately and rhythmically.
He was interrupted impatiently mid-sentence, "Alright, alright, stop repeating what everyone in the inner and outer cities already knows. Let's get down to business! Does anyone have a daughter? Have you sent a matchmaker? Is it possible?"
"The one-eyed man in the next alley has a daughter who's only twenty! Yesterday I heard him say he'd signed her up, and she's waiting in line for news. There are so many people wanting to see the Su family that they could flatten the miasma forest! The line alone will take half a month!"
"Hahahaha! Forget about his daughter. The stray dogs in the alley are so scared that they dare not bark when they see her. How can the talented and pretty boys of the Su family be interested in her?"
"You don't understand this. One-eyed Dragon is not stupid. Do you think he's really going after the Su family kid? Even if he thinks about it, he wouldn't dare to do it! He's just taking this opportunity to go to Tubei Village and look for other young men. Maybe he can find someone who's suitable for his daughter. Then she can marry him to Tubei Village and live a rich and stable life for the rest of her life!"
"Hey! This one-eyed guy and I are thinking the same thing! No, no, I won't talk about this for now. There aren't many unmarried young men in Tubei Village. I'm going to grab one for my daughter right away! I'm afraid there won't be any more of this kind of shop after this one!"
The pub erupted in laughter.
The inner city is already so bustling, and the outer city is even more so.
In the area around Tubei Village, ordinary families, using the connections they made at the small market, have already taken the initiative to ask familiar Tubei villagers to help mediate and introduce the young men and women they like to each other.
Almost everyone was happy.
Only the second protagonist in the incident couldn't laugh.
Su An couldn't believe that his parents would do such a thing. When he first heard the news, he felt like he was struck by lightning, and he hasn't recovered yet.
Su Wu quietly packed his bags and ran away from home several times, but was caught again and again in the reed marshes.
"Dad, Mom, there's no rush about this. Look at me, your son. Do I look like someone no one wants? I really don't have that mindset right now. Why should I let other girls go through all the trouble?" Su An kept circling around his parents for several days, but he couldn't convince them even after talking his mouth off.
My usually sensible mother was completely stubborn this time. "It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. How can a child not get married like this? You're anxious, but I'm mad! The news has been out for more than ten days, and other boys and girls in the village have found couples, but you and Xiaowu are the only ones who have no interest in each other! What makes you look like someone worth having?"
Su Da fully supports his wife. "There are three unfilial acts: not having descendants. The worst is not having descendants. You're not young anymore. You'll be thirty in two years! If you don't get married, when will your mother and I ever have a grandchild?"
"So you and mother want me to get married just to have a grandson?" Su An had a splitting headache.
Su Da and Liu Yuelan asked, "What use are you otherwise? You're away from home for most of the year. Aren't we worried about you? Are you waiting for death to end in peace?"
“…”
Su Wu's situation was not much better.
You can't run away, and you can't win by talking.
Even the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao doesn't work.
"Dad, Mom, I'm not your only son. Please forgive me, okay? If you want a daughter-in-law and a grandson, go find Su Wen!"
"Isn't your brother at home?"
"Didn't you drive him away?"
"Then you can call him back to get married. As long as he is willing to come back to get married, you can go wherever you want."
"...Dad, Mom! You're so cruel! How can you force your own sons and brothers to quarrel with each other?"
"If you don't want us to quarrel, then go find us a girl!"
“…”
The Su family's yard was bustling with activity day by day.
Mrs. Huo was both envious and jealous. Thinking of her own troublesome daughter, she was so worried that she didn't even want to eat melon seeds.
"Dad, will your idea work? Look at the two boys over there making such a fuss, they're almost crying, making a fuss, or even hanging themselves! No, I'm asking you for advice, but you only help the two boys from the Su family, and you don't care about our daughter at all! Sui'er is already seventeen this year!"
Huo Ziheng lay in the yard basking in the sun, his lips curled up in a relaxed and comfortable manner, "Don't worry, Sui'er is still young."
"You can't say that. Don't you know what your daughter is like? I'm really worried that no one will want her and I'll have to snatch a man away from her! Where can I find another good girl like you for her?!"
Huo Ziheng paused, coughed softly and suppressed a laugh, "You're the only one who likes someone like me."
"That's because my vision is unique!"
"Yes, my lady, you have good taste. Sui'er is not as good as you."
“…”
I won’t beat you up unless you praise me!
Clearing her throat, she poked the man with such a charming smile and said, "There's a commotion going on over there every day. Will this thing ever work out? I've made a promise to Yuelan and Daxiang. Please don't embarrass me!"
"My lady, please be patient and wait for the wedding wine."
…
In order to get some quiet time, Tianbao has been basking in the sun on the thatched roof every day.
He rested his head on his arms, biting a piece of grass, and stared at the vast clouds above his head, wishing he could see flowers.
"Tianbao, you have been hiding from me for many days." Beside her, a man in a white robe embroidered with red patterns was lying outside her arms.
"When did I hide from you? Am I not lying on the roof with you?" As Tianbao spoke, the grass core at the corner of his mouth swayed.
Bai Yu rolled over and lay on his stomach, reaching out to remove the annoying grass core. "Then look at me."
"My nose and face were bruised before the New Year, and they haven't faded yet. What's so good about it?"
"Tsk, why don't you look at me? Let me see if you can do it——"
Tianbao suddenly reached out to cover his mouth, and pressed his erect head down onto the straw, "Shh!"
“…”
Two hurried footsteps were heard from under the roof, and they were stepping heavily, as if filled with anger.
The smell is quite familiar.
Tianbao and Bai Yu looked at each other, raised their eyebrows, and pricked up their ears.
