In the afternoon, Tantai Qingchuan personally rode his horse to pick up He Qiuniang and the others to go see the house.
Shi Yu sat majestically and imposingly on the dog's back.
The little guy is in an exceptionally good mood today since he's not attending court.
When I see food being sold by the roadside, I always go up to take a look out of curiosity.
However, because He Qiuniang was there, Shi Yu could only watch.
The little guy watched with his mouth watering and kept making his own thoughts.
Poor Yu Yu, she's never eaten anything from outside before in her life.
[Where can I find a kind-hearted person who will show mercy? Even just a candied hawthorn would be appreciated.]
If I buy one when my mom isn't looking, will she find out?
I'll just buy one secretly.
"Yu Yu, stop daydreaming." Gua66 spoke up, shattering Shi Yu's fantasy.
With your mother here, who would dare buy you anything?
Shi Yu, [But it's so painful to only look and not eat.]
If I had known, I would have sneaked out by myself.
[Yu Yu, there's nothing good to eat, but there's some melon to eat. Do you want to listen?] Melon66 asks.
"Oh, there's some juicy gossip to share! That's great!" Shi Yu exclaimed excitedly, her attention quickly diverted.
Gua66, [Yuyu, lately a lot of matchmakers have been coming to your older brother's door to propose marriage.]
Shi Yu: [My older brother is only 14 years old, aren't they being way too hasty?]
Isn't this a disguised way of destroying the nation's young seedlings?
My brother is still a child. Is he bringing a wife home to be a playmate?
What happens to this marriage if he gets older and suddenly meets his true love?
He Qiuniang, on the carriage: It seems that this is also a problem.
I reckon my older brother won't get married until he's over twenty.
He Qiuniang: Twenty? Isn't that a bit too old?
Shi Yu: Mother, you actually think my twenty-year-old brother is too old?
That's the prime of life, isn't it?
Gua66: [Yuyu, you can't make the decisions.]
Your mother has already made plans with some people to go out for drinks and flower viewing tomorrow.
Shi Yu: [Drinking and admiring the flowers, whose daughter is this?]
Is my mother too naive?
My older brother is about to take the imperial examination in the fall. Getting married at this time would be a waste.
After my older brother becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination, it will be up to him to decide which family's daughter he wants to marry.
As Shi Yu spoke, she proudly curled her lip.
Her older brother is destined to be a top scholar.
We can't let her mother arrange a marriage for her older brother so casually.
Thinking this, Shi Yu asked Gua66 again.
Whose daughter has my mother taken a liking to?
Gua 66, [is the daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue.]
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu immediately shook his head. "The daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue is no good."
We just went to the Minister of Revenue's house a couple of days ago to clean the latrine.
If the Minister of Revenue is so corrupt, his subordinates must be no better.
No, no, I absolutely have to go to the matchmaking banquet tomorrow and ruin it.
"Gua66, do you have any melons from the daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue?" Shi Yu asked.
[I'll have Shi Yan translate this and tell my mother. She definitely won't agree to this marriage then.]
Gua66, [Let me search.]
Oh, I've got it.
The daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue fell in love with a poor scholar, and they were already engaged, with the daughter already pregnant.
Looking for Yu Yu's older brother is like looking for a sucker to take over her situation.
"What the hell!" Shi Yu couldn't help but swear.
Do you think we're easy to bully?
[They dare to come to our door with this kind of scum.]
[Tomorrow I'll go and sabotage things.]
I absolutely cannot let this kind of scum ruin my older brother.
He Qiuniang, sitting in the carriage: What a close call! I almost ruined my son's life.
He must firmly reject tomorrow's matchmaking attempt!
Trying to harm his son? No way!
[Gua66, there's still a long way to go. Do you have any other gossip to share?] Shi Yu asked.
Gua66, [Yuyu, wait while I search.]
Oh, I've got it.
[The mighty general has been staying home lately learning to embroider handkerchiefs.]
[What? Learn to embroider handkerchiefs?] Shi Yu was surprised.
Does this person have some kind of twisted hobby?
Tantai Qingchuan, who was on horseback, blushed upon hearing this.
He couldn't help but turn around and look at the carriage.
Her eyes were filled with worry and shyness: I hope Qiu Niang won't misunderstand.
Gua66, [I couldn't find any information about his perverted hobbies.]
[She seems eager to get married.]
It seems he's embroidering his own dowry, eager to marry into our He family as soon as possible.
Shi Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing. [Eager to get married? Hahahaha]
Suddenly I can feel that scene and that vibe, haha...
Gua66's voice continued, "[Princess Zhaoyang said, "In the future, we need to find a husband for your mother to marry into the family."]
Then Tantai Qingchuan began learning the essential skills for a live-in son-in-law.
I heard she's doing quite well in her studies.
[I used to prick ten fingers a day, now I can prick five.]
Tantai Qingchuan, on horseback, silently withdrew his hand.
How embarrassing!
We can't let anyone see this...
He Qiuniang, inside the carriage, blushed as she listened.
Why is this person still like this?
When the carriage stopped, Tantai Qingchuan reached out to help it.
Seeing He Qiuniang's gaze fall on his hand, Tantai Qingchuan was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand.
"Um, I accidentally got this while practicing martial arts," Tantai Qingchuan quickly explained.
"General~" He Qiuniang's eyes flickered; it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.
She helped Tantai Qingchuan down from the carriage.
A few days ago, I came with Princess Zhaoyang to see a dilapidated gate that had been completely renovated, now looking high-end, grand, and magnificent.
Shi Yu couldn't help but raise her little head to look.
[When I came here a few days ago, the gate didn't look like this.]
We've probably come to the wrong place.
Gua66, [Yuyu, the main gate was bought with Tantai Qingchuan's own money.]
Shi Yu: [What? He also has a secret stash of money?]
You shouldn't date a man who secretly saves money!
Upon hearing this, Tantai Qingchuan immediately became anxious.
He quickly began to explain to He Qiuniang.
"Qiu Niang, let me explain, it wasn't me, I didn't do it."
"It's the money I usually save for my wedding, not my secret stash. I don't keep anything secret."
