After pondering for a long time, Su Shien looked at the scroll in his hand with an obsessive look in his eyes, and said firmly and seriously: "I want him."
Mrs. Su Wang was stunned for a moment. This guy didn't take the opportunity to propose separation, but wasted this great opportunity on love. It seemed that she had indeed overestimated him.
"You two are already engaged, right? He already belongs to you. He can't run away."
Su Shien said with a lost look, "If we delay, things will change. He didn't want to marry me in the first place. I want to get married sooner so that he won't have any thoughts of breaking off the engagement."
Mrs. Su Wang frowned. She had to choose between agreeing to his early separation or early marriage. Naturally, the latter was better.
Even if they get married, the couple will still be under her control. But if they separate in advance, then the sea is wide for fish to leap and the sky is high for birds to fly. It will not be so easy for her to control Su Shien again.
Besides, there is an advantage to getting married early, that is, the master cannot come back in time, and how the wedding goes depends entirely on her wishes.
Although Su Wangshi had already made up her mind, she couldn't agree too readily. She had to give it some thought so that Su Shien would know that this matter was not easy to accomplish.
"Alas, child, you are also a love-struck person. But even if I want to help you, I should at least inform the master. The eldest son is getting married, but as a father, I can't rush back. I'm afraid both you and your father will feel regretful."
Su Shien muttered, "I don't really have any regrets."
Mrs. Su Wang was choked. The relationship between father and son had become so cold that there was really no need to further alienate them.
"You go back for now. I'll write a letter and send it to your father overnight. Getting married is a big deal, and it can't be prepared in a short time. We have to discuss it with the elders of the Han family, don't you agree?"
Su Shien thought this made sense, so he bowed to Su Wangshi and left the main courtyard with a smile on his face.
Mrs. Su was completely stunned by his actions. When had this boy ever been so respectful to her? A young man from a farming family had such a great influence on him.
He threw his biological mother's advice to the winds and even treated his biological mother's enemy with respect. It seemed that his feelings for his biological mother were just like that, and they were not even as good as those for that weak sister.
Mrs. Su Wang wanted to laugh. Looking at the pair of disappointing children left by that woman, she actually felt a sense of pleasure as if she had avenged her great hatred. Perhaps this is what it means to have no successors!
Han Zeyu lived a very comfortable life at home. Knowing that the marriage might be brought forward, he was not in a hurry. As long as he had food in his hands, he would not be worried. He was not short of money anyway.
Knowing the situation of the Su family, there was no need to ask him to spend a penny more. In this era, a seven-piece dowry would not cost much. It was all red utensils and bedding, which could be used for three days during the wedding. There was no need to buy something too good.
For those who have experienced the end of the world, pragmatism is the main approach. They would rather spend their money on food and drink than on these formalisms.
Thinking that they would have to come back and live for a while after getting married, Han Zeyu thought they should build two more rooms. He thought the vacant land next door would be a good choice.
When Han Cheng heard that Yu Ge'er wanted to buy land and build a house, he felt that there was no need. He was going to marry and live a good life in the city, so why should he build a house here?
Han Zeyu's explanation for this was that he planned to bring Su Shien back to live with him.
Han Cheng and his wife were shocked. What nonsense was this kid talking about? The eldest son of the Su family would come to his family to be a son-in-law? What a joke!
Han Zeyu looked at his father in surprise. He didn't expect that your father has such big ambitions. His father actually thought of a path that he had never even imagined.
"You're overthinking it. Su Shien wants to take the Tongsheng exam this year. If he passes, he'll become a scholar. He needs a quiet place to study. I think our house is suitable."
Han Cheng scratched his fingers awkwardly. So that's how it was. Then they should indeed build two new houses, otherwise it would be embarrassing if the news got out.
Han Zeyu followed his father to the village chief's house to buy land. On the way, he was still thinking, a son-in-law? It was a bit interesting, but he didn't plan to do it. After all, Su Shien wanted to take the imperial examination. If he really became a son-in-law, his official career would be completely hopeless.
This is what feudal ethics is like. He would not think that just because he is a time traveler with special powers, he can unscrupulously challenge the rules of the entire society.
However, Su Shien's background was not very good. Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants, merchants were ranked last. Although the imperial examination system did not exclude them, they were still treated differently when selecting officials. This is why some merchant families would adopt their children with good qualifications and knowledge to farming and reading families in their side branches.
Su Shien dreamed of being adopted out, but unfortunately this was just his wishful thinking. Now he was lucky enough to get married early and move out of the house.
Buying the vacant land next door was simpler than Han Zeyu had imagined. Now he was not only the young master of the Han family, but also the young master engaged to the Su family. This change of identity had invisibly brought him a lot of conveniences.
Han Zeyu suddenly felt that the Su family was not completely useless. At least the name of the Su family was still quite useful in Qingshan Town. The most important thing was that the Su family raised her beloved husband Su Shien.
Hey~ He has to focus on his career and can't stay at home thinking about men all day long, because it's useless to just think about them. If you can't see or touch them, what's the point of fantasizing about them every day!
He wanted to finish the house construction work quickly. He was still worried about Su Shien. Such a handsome gentleman had done so many ridiculous things. He didn't know if his mentality would be unbalanced.
Su Shien performed quite well. He went to pay his respects to the eldest lady twice a day, morning and evening, which gave Su Wangshi a headache. Is this the legendary persistence?
Su Shien, who didn't get an answer, didn't even go to the academy. He painted at home every day, one painting after another, and turned his study into a studio.
Seeing that he was in a lovesick state, Mrs. Su Wang saw that he had no interest in studying at all. He was either painting or writing poetry, or just wandering around the main courtyard. The servants reported that Su Shien had actually started to inquire about matters related to marriage.
She felt that the time was almost right, so she sent her servants to Yunshan Village to inform the Han family that they would hold a wedding for the two on the eldest young master's birthday, which would be a double happiness, and asked the Han family to make preparations.
The people from the Su Mansion simply informed them and had no intention of negotiating at all. It was obvious that they did not regard them as relatives. Their condescending attitude made people very uncomfortable.
How could the arrogant and conceited young man tolerate such an insult? He threatened to go to the Su family to ask for an explanation. Since they looked down on them, why should they marry into his family?
How can the wedding date be changed just like that? The Su family is really arrogant by doing this.
