Han Cheng and Zhao were terrified. They had just discovered that Yu Ge'er was missing. Where had he gone so early in the morning? His backpack and hatchet were still there, so he must not have gone up the mountain.
The couple comforted each other: "Everything is here, and the person can't be far away."
"This kid always says he's let things go. Is he lying to us?"
"No, Yu Ge'er is different now. He has become much tougher. I believe he won't do anything stupid."
Just as Han Cheng was about to go out to look for someone, he saw Han Zeyu leading a deer into the yard with a smile on his face.
They were so anxious. This brat went up the mountain to catch deer. How early did he have to get up?
A happy day is not the time to educate children. Zhao urged Yuger to wash up and eat something to fill his stomach.
Han Zeyu didn't understand the etiquette here, so he listened carefully to what Zhao was telling him, trying to be a noble and cool vase when getting engaged, and absolutely had to suppress the crazy upward curve of his mouth.
An hour later, the whole Yunshan Village was in an uproar, and everyone ran around to tell each other that Yu Ge'er from the old Han family had secured an extraordinary marriage.
The famous Su family is known to everyone. In Qingshan Town, the Su family is the representative of power and influence. The Sun family, which had previously married Zhao Yan, could only look up to them.
What? You said Young Master Su was the eldest son of a concubine. So what? The eldest son is the eldest son. In the eyes of ordinary people, they don't know the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. They just know that having the surname Su is already very impressive. It means being born in a blessed family and enjoying endless wealth and glory for a lifetime.
Zhao Yan also heard the news and was shocked beyond words.
Young Master Su studied in the same academy as him. Although he was just a student, he usually wouldn't even look at him. But Su Shien, who was self-righteous and studied love, poetry and songs all day long, actually wanted to marry Han Zeyu as his legal wife. Was he crazy?
Thinking carefully, could there be some hidden secret? Thinking of this, Zhao Yan could no longer sit still. Han Zeyu was about to get engaged, so there was no need for him to continue to avoid suspicion. He wanted to see what was going on with this marriage.
The Su family has made a big show of it, and they must not let the rumor of the legitimate mother mistreating her illegitimate son get out.
All the necessary betrothal gifts were present. Although the standard was not very high, these country folk could not tell whether it was good or bad.
This was indeed the case. The villagers watched the boxes of betrothal gifts being carried into the Han family and smacked their lips in envy. This was too decent. They were indeed a wealthy family and their etiquette was very thorough.
Zhao Yan couldn't tell whether these things were good or bad, so he hid in the crowd and continued to watch.
The people who were watching the excitement outside only thought that the engagement was grand and prestigious, but they had no idea that the atmosphere in the Han family's main hall was definitely not harmonious.
Young Master Su had a blank expression on his face, while the young man from the Han family was as cold as ice. They were definitely a pair of lovers with a grudge from previous lives.
This awkward situation was only maintained by the matchmaker's clever words.
Han Cheng had a stiff smile as he chatted awkwardly with the steward of the Su family. He really couldn't see how these two children were a match made in heaven. Judging from the current situation, could they live a happy life after marriage?
After completing the procedures of three books and six ceremonies, the engagement ceremony was successfully completed. The Su family returned home with smiles on their faces. The steward even took the deer sent by the Han family and nodded with satisfaction. This family was sensible and polite, and did not seem like a trouble-making family at first glance.
Su Shien glanced at the young man twice before leaving. Han Zeyu had a cold face and used small gestures to signal him to stop looking and leave quickly to avoid being exposed.
Su Shien sighed, and when he went out, his expression finally looked better.
The villagers didn't know the truth, they just thought that the eldest son of the Su family was truly a rare talent, a man of heaven, worthy of being a young man raised by a wealthy family, with outstanding manners and demeanor.
Zhao Yan couldn't figure it out either. Su Shien usually didn't show any expression. What he was more curious about now was how the Han family got this marriage?
After returning home, Su Shien leaned against the window, thinking of the little look Han Zeyu had just given him, and couldn't help but pursed his lips. If he hadn't seen that lively and smart boy more than once, he would have been almost scared by him.
Su Yunzhu stayed by her mother's side and refused to leave. She was waiting for the housekeeper to reply and wanted to hear about the excitement of today's engagement.
"The engagement process went very smoothly. The Han family sent a live deer as a return gift, but the young man from the Han family didn't seem very happy."
Su Yunzhu became interested: "Oh? Why are you unhappy? Tell me."
Mrs. Su Wang glanced at her daughter with a reproachful look. She was not calm at all.
The housekeeper pondered, "It was the young man from the Han family who had a stern face the entire time. He neither spoke nor looked at anyone. Later, the eldest young master glanced at him a few times, but the young man glared back."
Su Yunzhu covered her mouth and laughed softly: "Haha, what should I do? Could it be that a young man from a farming family looks down on the eldest young master of the Su family? How will I live after I get married?"
Mrs. Su Wang asked, "You said the eldest young master looked at the young man a few times. Did the young man dress up today?"
The housekeeper hesitated and said, "He hasn't dressed up yet. His clothes are new, but the young man is indeed without makeup. However, the young man from the Han family doesn't look bad without makeup."
Mrs. Su Wang knew that Su Shien usually liked to read some romantic books, and the sour poems he recited had corroded his brain. He was not satisfied with the Han family's family background, but was attracted by the young man's appearance.
Madam Su was in a good mood. She thought the housekeeper had done a good job and the nanny beside him rewarded him.
If the wedding is done as soon as possible, the house will be completely peaceful. With Su Shien's personality, I believe he won't cause any big trouble.
The wedding date was set for early September. Su Shien frowned. This must be the last obstacle that the eldest lady had set for him. With this date set, he was doomed to have no hope of passing the imperial examination this year.
This delay would last another three years. By then, he would be twenty-one years old, with a family and a career of his own. How much time would he have to devote to studying? I'm afraid his life would just drift by in mediocrity.
Is he willing to stop at the title of scholar? Of course he is unwilling, but how can he escape from this predicament? At this moment, Su Shien can't help but think of Han Zeyu. If that person is there, there should be a way...
For some reason, he had a blind trust in the young man whom he had only met a few times. Perhaps he envied his unrestrained and flamboyant personality!
Han Zeyu sneezed and rubbed her nose happily, thinking that her dear husband must be missing her.
What a clingy little devil! I've only seen him once before, so why do I miss him so much? Really, I'm so embarrassed, hehehe...
Little Han Zeli, who came to talk to his elder brother, was scared away. Mom, his elder brother's smile is so scary.
The little guy didn't understand at this time, and Han Zeyu had a lewd smile on his face.
