Huo Xunyan was still a little puzzled and said, "But Dad, I didn't spend much money."
"It didn't cost much?" Huo Xun'an stared at his son with wide eyes, speechless for a long moment. After a while, he said, "You buy ten three-hundred-year-old ginseng every month, and each one costs three thousand taels of silver. From two months ago until now, you've already spent seventy-eight thousand taels of silver. If you keep spending like this, our whole family will be begging in three months at most."
Huo Xunyan was stunned when he heard this, and then fell silent.
Meanwhile, Miho said, "My son, ever since you rescued that 'Anya' last time, I haven't seen the daughter-in-law you mentioned, but the money in this family has flowed away like water."
When Huo Xunyan heard this, he immediately looked up and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will marry Aya home soon, Mom, you see..."
As he spoke, Huo Xunyan took out the long scarf and said, "This is the jade scarf that Aya gave me today."
When Huo Xun'an heard this, he immediately stroked his forehead, leaned back in his chair speechlessly, and didn't want to talk.
Mi He looked at Huo Xunyan helplessly and said, "Son, you've spent nearly 80,000 taels of silver. Why wouldn't I ask her to marry you right away, or even just give you a promise? What's the point of giving you a jade scarf? Son, you're such a fool."
Huo Xun'an also spoke up at this time: "Yan'er, what are her feelings for you? Does she really like you? What is her family background? Where does she live? What do her parents do? Do you know?"
Huo Xunyan was stunned for a moment, and after a while he said, "I...I don't know."
"Alas." Huo Xun'an and Mi He sighed immediately.
Seeing his parents like this, Huo Xunyan immediately said, "Dad, Mom, give me another month. I will definitely marry Aya home in a month."
Huo Xun'an and Mi He exchanged a glance, then Huo Xun'an turned and said, "Yan'er, that girl is very pretty and looks like a respectable person. Your mother and I have no objection. I'll give you another month, but if there's still no result after a month, you must give up, otherwise my family will really have to beg for food."
Huo Xunyan was immediately overjoyed and quickly nodded to Huo Xunan and Mi He, saying, "Don't worry, Dad and Mom, I know what's going on."
So, in the next month, Huo Xunyan continued to spend a lot of money to buy spiritual ginseng, and put it in a sandalwood box and sent it to Anya every three days.
During this period, Huo Xunyan also took the opportunity to express his love to Anya, and hoped to visit Anya's home and meet her parents.
But Anya refused them all with various reasons, but Huo Xunyan did not give up. He still delivered the ginseng to Anya diligently without any complaints.
On this day, when Huo Xunyan knocked on Anya's door holding the sandalwood box, he found that Anya's expression was very different today, happy but also nervous.
When Huo Xunyan handed the spiritual ginseng to Anya and waited outside the house, he didn't mind that he had given so many spiritual ginseng to Anya but had never been invited into the house.
Finally, an hour after Anya took the spiritual ginseng, the door opened again, and Anya personally returned the sandalwood box to Huo Xunyan.
"Aya." Huo Xunyan saw Anya trying to turn around and close the door, and immediately called out to her.
Anya turned around and looked at him, then said, "What is it?"
Huo Xunyan looked at Anya's indifferent face and felt very conflicted. The date agreed upon between him and his parents was getting closer and closer, and he now had to express his feelings to Anya again.
"If you have something to say, just tell me now," Anya urged.
Huo Xunyan gritted his teeth and said, "Aya, I want to marry you. Will you marry me? I have made an agreement with my parents that if after sending the spiritual ginseng this month, there is still no result... between you and me... then they will stop giving me money."
Anya's expression changed slightly, and she stared at Huo Xunyan for a long time. Finally, with Huo Xunyan's expression mixed with anxiety and expectation, Anya asked, "Do you really want to marry me?"
Huo Xunyan nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I dream of marrying you."
When Anya heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and when Huo Xunyan saw the smile on Anya's face, he was completely dumbfounded.
She smiled! Aya smiled at me, something she had never smiled before! Huo Xunyan was very happy at this moment. He felt that even if he died now, it would be worth it.
Huo Xunyan's heart was beating wildly, and at this time Anya looked at him and said, "If you can do one thing for me, I will marry you."
Huo Xunyan didn't hesitate at all and asked directly: "What's the matter? Aya, tell me."
Anya's smile remained, but her eyes gradually deepened. She slowly said, "In three days, a group of novice monks will pass through Hualing City and stay overnight. They have been ordered to deliver a 'Three Treasures Jade Box Carved with Lions' to Huayan Temple as a tribute to 'Zhengshan Mingwang'. I want that jade box. If you can bring it to me, I will marry you."
