"Yeah. Thank you."
With the Huo family's help, Bai Zhi sold her ancestral home and land. She also bought the small courtyard that Liu Yuhan was planning to retire after the Lunar New Year. She also bought a piece of Feng Shui-savory land for her parents outside Fu'an City and relocated their graves.
Jiang Hu returned to his grandparents' home.
It turns out their maternal grandfather's family had some connection to the Huo family. Jiang Hu's grandfather had served under General Huo and still held an official position. Jiang Hu's grandmother was from Luoyang County and had brought her daughter to visit relatives there. It was there that Jiang Hu's mother met County Magistrate Jiang.
Jiang Hu's uncle and aunt are now helping the Huo family manage the Jiang family's wharf and other matters.
"Boss, I'm sorry, I'm going to take the imperial examination again. I want to go to the government school. These kids..."
"Just study hard. We, the Liu family, will take care of them."
"Also, I want to marry Miss Baizhi. Please help me."
"Ah! Are you serious? Does Baizhi know?" Liu Yuhan didn't expect that Jiang Hu wanted to marry Baizhi in just half a year, and she didn't know anything about it.
"Yes. I, Jiang Hu, want to marry Bai Zhi because I like her and think we are the best match for each other."
"Bai Zhi rejected me. She said she was three years older than me. These are not the most important things. She probably didn't think it through."
Liu Yuhan couldn't help but raise her voice when she saw the hem of the skirt in the corner.
"Jiang Hu, you said you like Bai Zhi and don't care about her age. You two are suitable for each other. Have you ever thought about whether Bai Zhi doesn't like you?"
"Oh, that's right. I don't have a home now, and I have to continue taking scientific exams. I can't give her a stable life. She's so good, so smart and brave. I'm not worthy of her..."
"Ahem... What I mean is, you have to make sure the girl likes you, not just blindly express your feelings. Feelings are mutual, do you understand?"
"Have you ever had a girl you liked?"
"No. I used to be so focused on studying and practicing martial arts that I never thought about love. It was only through my interactions with Bai Zhi that I gradually realized my feelings."
"Bai Zhi is a good girl. If you marry her in the future and pass the imperial examination, will you take a concubine?"
"No, having one wife is enough for me. My parents taught me to be loyal in love, but I don't think I am that kind of person."
"Okay, go back first. Girls always think more about it. Give her some time."
"Okay. I'll wait for her." Jiang Hu left.
"Bai Zhi."
"Girl, I didn't mean to listen, I came to see you..."
"I know, Baizhi, did you hear what Jiang Hu said? It seems that he is indeed a little absent-minded and can't even feel that there are people around him."
"I…I'm so much older than him."
"A woman three years older than you is a treasure trove of gold. Uh, what I mean is, if you truly love someone, age isn't a problem. Besides, the age difference between you two isn't that big. You two look very well matched together."
"It seems I'm a little slow. I didn't even know that my sister Baizhi was being missed."
"Girl..." Bai Zhi blushed.
"Baizhi, I once told you that a person's time is very precious. Don't waste it on useless things or get caught up in meaningless speculations. Just follow your heart."
"Just based on the fact that Jiang Hu has been able to lead a group of people and never abandon them in the past two years, I think he is a good person. He has a steady temperament, is loving, and has a sense of responsibility. He will definitely be a good husband and father in the future."
"You like him too, right?"
"Um…"
"Then get married and go to the capital with him."
"That…"
"Don't worry about the work, I will hand it over to someone else. I'm already engaged, and I'll go to the capital city in the future."
"I listen to the girl."
"Sister Baizhi, from now on we can call each other sisters. You can call me Xiaohan."
"Sister Xiaohan."
"Oh." They both looked at each other and smiled, with tears in Bai Zhi's eyes.
It’s great that lovers finally get married.
