Han Zecang has a unique view on wasting money to participate in the provincial examination, and the emphasis is on participation, companionship and feeling the atmosphere.
Han Zeyu retorted with just two words: "Accompany me to take the exam."
Han Zecang wanted to say that he was not the only one who accompanied others to take the exam, and most of them were just trying their luck.
For example, Lin Jing, his future brother-in-law.
Han Zeyu sat upright and asked him to tell him how he transitioned from Brother Lin to Brother-in-law.
Han Zecang smiled shyly. He was engaged to Lin Xue.
Han Zeyu's smile faded slightly. When did this happen? Why didn't he know?
Han Zecang slapped his forehead and quickly explained, "We started discussing it half a month ago, and the engagement was just completed three days ago. I wrote to you."
Well, Han Zeyu chose to forgive him. After all, who would have thought that the letter was still on the way and he had already returned.
"Is it because the Lin family is not peaceful that you took advantage of the situation?"
Han Zecang nodded helplessly.
With Lin Xue's background, she could easily marry an official of the sixth or seventh rank. How could it be the turn of a poor scholar who had accomplished nothing to propose marriage?
He didn't know the specific reason, but it was all caused by Master Lin.
Mrs. Lin suddenly talked to him, asked some questions, put forward some conditions, and then asked Lin Jing to convey a message, saying that she wanted to meet with his parents.
Han Zecang got engaged without knowing what he was doing, and when he saw the engagement document, he felt dizzy.
Mrs. Lin simplified the three books and six ceremonies, completed the process quickly, and set the wedding date for the beginning of next spring.
Three days ago, the Han family sent the betrothal gifts to the Lin Mansion. Mr. Lin was not at home at that time, so it was Mrs. Lin who received the betrothal gifts.
In any case, accepting the betrothal gift means that the marriage contract cannot be regretted.
The wild geese were shot by hunter Yang from Yunshan Village.
The precious tea was prepared by Jin Baoer.
Han Zeyu extorted the silk from Su Wangshi.
There are also the essential three golds and one silver. The gold bracelet, gold hairpin, and gold earrings were bought by my parents at great expense.
The silver ingots were sponsored by Han Yumo's family.
The BGM "Unity is Strength" automatically played in Han Zeyu's mind.
My silly brother, you are so awesome! This is the high-end version of “拼好婚”!
A trace of worry flashed in Han Zecang's eyes.
Han Zeyu pressed on, "Is there something wrong? Stop hesitating and tell me!"
In fact, there were great hidden dangers in his engagement. Although his betrothal gifts had been sent in, the following steps were stuck.
According to convention, the shoes, socks and four treasures of the study should be received from the Lin family the next day.
But three whole days passed and there was no movement from the Lin Mansion.
Lin Jing was also worried. He went back home last night to inquire about the news, but he hasn't come back yet.
Han Zeyu raised his eyebrows. He wanted to go to the Lin Mansion and see what kind of dangerous place it was and whether it could trap him.
Han Zecang also wanted to go. He and Lin Xue hadn't seen each other for a month, and he was very worried.
Han Zeyu thought he was in the way and gave him a difficult task.
If he still doesn't come out after three hours, go find Su Shien and ask him to get help.
As for the reinforcements, Zhou Yi was definitely the one who got taken advantage of.
The door to the Lin Mansion was closed, and the atmosphere inside was very strange.
A dozen men who looked like servants were standing guard at the gate in full readiness.
The servants all lowered their heads and quickened their pace.
The Lin family, which was originally bustling and populous, seemed to have pressed the mute button. No one dared to make a noise and could only talk in a low voice.
Even so, Han Zeyu still moved through the courtyards of the Lin Mansion as if he was in an empty place.
This mansion was too big, and it made him dizzy.
Since we can’t find Lin Jing, we can only change our target.
Han Zeyu went straight to the inner courtyard and found the largest courtyard.
As expected, Mrs. Lin was drinking tea calmly, completely ignoring the furious Mr. Lin.
Han Zeyu listened for a while and figured out some ideas.
It turned out that Lin Hao wanted to use his legitimate sister to exchange for his future.
Under the pretext of doing it for the future development of the Lin family, he actually wanted to climb up the social ladder by leveraging his connections.
Lin Hao spoke in a sanctimonious manner, and he and Master Lin played the good cop and the bad cop respectively, working in perfect harmony.
Mrs. Lin remained unmoved, no matter how much the father and son talked, threatened or bribed her.
Looking at the wound on Lin Hao's face, Mrs. Lin sneered.
The account of injuring her son has not been settled yet, and now you dare to act like that in front of her?
Lin Hao's eyes dodged and he took two steps back uncomfortably.
Last night, Lin Jing fought with him. He knew he was no match for him, so he ordered his men to surround Lin Jing.
I thought that two fists could not beat four hands, and Lin Jing would give up resisting.
Unexpectedly, this action angered him and he hit Lin Hao in the face.
Lin Jing only brought a servant back home. The other side had more people and more power, so he suffered some injuries.
How can this even be considered home? It's clearly a den of danger.
Mr. Lin and Lin Hao didn't expect that things would become so awkward.
They had just discussed marrying Lin Xue off without Mrs. Lin's knowledge.
The engagement process can be shortened, as long as the marriage is formal and the ceremony is grand.
They had a good plan, but when they got home the sky fell.
Mrs. Lin took their way and left them with nowhere to go.
If the three letters and six ceremonies are not completed, the engagement is not considered formal.
What kind of family was the Lin family? They were peasants, small-time traders.
He just had a scholar who ranked last and a son who married well. With such conditions, he dared to covet the legitimate daughter of the Lin family?
This matter was instigated by Feng Qian. She and Lin Hao have always been in contact, but not as frequently as before they got married.
But no one expected that the person who informed on the matter was Lin Xia, the second daughter of the Lin family who was married out of wedlock.
Lin Xia is Lin Yu's sister. Her brother and aunt have a unclear relationship and have done many outrageous things.
But Mrs. Lin did not make things difficult for her in terms of marriage and found a good marriage for her.
When she got married, she did not deduct the dowry and gave more dowry than her own mother.
Lin Xia knew what was right and wrong, and accidentally learned of Feng Qian's plan. She specially sent her trusted maid to deliver a letter to inform Mrs. Lin in advance so that she could take early action.
Mr. Lin threatened to divorce his wife, and Mrs. Lin sneered. Not to mention divorce, even if she wanted to divorce, it would be impossible.
She wanted to take the position of mistress of the house and divide the property with the old man and live separately.
She is already in her forties, and the old man is ten years older than her. He is addicted to alcohol and women, so he will definitely be ahead of her.
What could Han Zeyu say? Should he lend her a helping hand or help her achieve her dream?
Adults don’t make choices, so take both!
The annoying father and son returned empty-handed, but they were not discouraged.
First cancel the engagement with the Han family, and then find a way to make Lin Xue compromise.
After the two left, Han Zeyu showed up openly.
Mrs. Lin was startled, but quickly calmed down.
Han Zeyu is an unparalleled master, and the servants of the Lin Mansion are nothing to him.
The two had a heart-to-heart talk about Lin Xue's marriage and the possible troubles Han Zecang might face.
The two of them agreed that if they could strike the snake at its most vulnerable part and deal with Lin Hao, Master Lin would naturally stop.
