Chapter 462: Chapter 462. A shotgun marriage?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Hanxuan saw the long line of betrothal gifts behind his son-in-law. How did he prepare so many betrothal gifts in such a short time?

Father-in-law, please accept my bow.

Xiao Zeyu lifted his robe and knelt on the ground to salute Su Hanxuan. Su Hanxuan quickly supported him with both hands.

“Yu’er, quickly get up and follow me into the residence.

Yang Ruxue held her daughter’s hand and asked, “Qing ‘ er, why are you in such a hurry?”

Didn’t they agree to get married next year? When her daughter returned and told her that she would be getting married in eight days, Yang Ruxue couldn’t help but wonder if her daughter and Xiao Zeyu were secretly married and had no choice but to get formally married.

“Martial Uncle Shuisheng said that the 29th is a good day. If you miss it, you’ll have to wait three years.”

Su Qing didn’t expect her mother to think she and Xiao Zeyu were already husband and wife. She repeated Zhou Bo’s words.

Martial Uncle? Shuisheng?

Yang Ruxue had never heard about this person, so she felt suspicious. However, she couldn’t ask if her daughter was in such a hurry to get married because she got pregnant.

Yes, divination is very effective, and you have a half-immortal body.

Su Qing briefly introduced Zhou Bo’s situation and then changed the topic to Luan Hong.

By the way, did Father receive the letter I asked Zhang Jinglin to bring back?

Yes. Your father asked Zhang Jinglin to stay in the residence for dinner and let him meet Luan Hong. Your uncle and aunt are delighted with him.”

When Yang Ruxue heard her daughter mention Zhang Jinglin, she told her about what happened that day.

It turned out that Zhang Jinglin visited Yan Shikuan first after arriving at Jingshi Dao. He passed the secret order given by Xiao Zeyu to Yan Shikuan, and after settling down with his mother, he bought some gifts and rushed to the Su residence to deliver the letter.

When Su Hanxuan saw his daughter’s letter’s contents, he welcomed Zhang Jinglin warmly. He found his brother-in-law, Luan Qingshan, and his sister-in-law, Yang Rubing, to show them Su Qing’s letter.

Luan Qingshan and Yang Rubing were most worried about their daughter’s marriage. Luan Hong had suffered a blow because of Chu Jingfeng’s matter. She said she would never marry and serve them for the rest of her life. None of the young talents in this city could enter Luan Hong’s eyes. She devoted herself to the winery and brewed wine daily. This made the couple extremely worried.

When he heard that Su Qing had helped them find a man capable of both literature and martial arts and that he was the current Zhizhou of Jingshi Dao Luan Qingshan was extremely excited. This was a perfect match.

Yang Ruxue ordered people to bring Luan Hong back, and the family prepared a sumptuous meal to entertain Zhang Jinglin.

To understand this future son-in-law, Luan Qingshan deliberately tested Zhang Jinglin. In the end, he realized that the young man was very talented. He began to pass on his experience as a Zhizhou to Zhang Jinglin.

Zhang Jinglin respected him very much and listened very seriously. Luan Qingshan liked this motivated young man more.

Yang Rubing didn’t know much about politics. She only cared about appearances. Her daughter valued her looks. If he weren’t good-looking, she wouldn’t be able to take a liking to him even if he had world-shaking talent.

Yes! As expected of the person chosen by his niece. His appearance was indeed not bad. He had sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, white lips, and teeth. He had an extraordinary temperament and was much better-looking than Chu Jingfeng.

Su Qing had carefully selected the clothes that Zhang Jinglin wore. It was a blue robe made of luxurious silk. Zhang Jinglin had a good temperament. Clothes made the man and the horse dependent on the saddle. He looked even more elegant in this gorgeous dress. He looked calm in his seat.

The more Yang Rubing looked at him, the more she liked him. Her eyes were filled with the pride of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. Zhang Jinglin felt very uncomfortable looking at her and had no choice but to turn his body to avoid Yang Rubing’s gaze.

Luan Qingshan noticed Zhang Jinglin’s uneasiness and glared at his wife, telling her to restrain herself so she wouldn’t scare off her future son-in-law.

“Who else is in Jing Lin’s family?

Luan Qingshan was very fond of Zhang Jinglin’s people, so he wanted to understand the situation in his family.

“An old mother at home accompanied Jing Cai to Jingshi Dao.

Zhang Jinglin hurriedly replied. He spoke of his mother with a respectful expression. He looked like a filial son.

Is that so? Then where is Old Furen now?

Hearing that Zhang Jinglin only had an old mother, Yang Rubing felt even better. There weren’t many complicated people in the family. He wanted to see if this old lady was easy to get along with. Luan Hong was spoiled and easily offended others. She wasn’t suitable for a complicated family.

As long as Zhang Jinglin’s mother was easy to get along with, he had no objections to this marriage.

I was in a hurry to deliver the letter, so I left my mother at the courier station. I’ll bring her over after putting up the government office.”

Zhang Jinglin got up and said goodbye when he mentioned his mother. “I don’t feel at ease with Mother alone in the station, so I’ll leave now.”

Don’t go; I’ve already arranged for a welcoming banquet. Which station is your mother at? I’ll send someone to bring her here.”

How could Yang Rubing let him go? She immediately sent someone to fetch Zhang Jinglin’s mother over, not giving him a chance to object.

Zhang Jinglin could only stay in the Su residence despite the great difficulty. He wanted to ask the seniors many questions regarding the government. He chatted enthusiastically with Luan Qingshan, who gave him everything he had. Whatever he was asked, he told Zhang Jinglin without holding anything back.

The more Luan Qingshan and Zhang Jinglin chatted, the more they got along. The more they spoke, the more they liked this ambitious young man. When Luan Qingshan heard that he had won the martial arts championship, he was highly excited.

Since Luan Hong got together with Su Qing, she liked wielding knives and sticks. She said that she wanted to become a strange woman like Su Qing. If he was a weak scholar, he might be unable to subdue her.

Yang Rubing ordered people to fetch Zhang Jinglin’s mother and Loan Hong.

Luan Hong was mixing wine in the winery. The little girl leaned against the winery every day and smelled like lees. She didn’t care at all. A woman’s appearance was for the person who liked her. She didn’t have a man she liked let alone one who liked her. Why would she care about these things?

Seeing that her mother had sent someone to pick her up, Luan Hong thought the family had prepared a meal for her to return to eat. She did not care. There was no wine at home. She ordered someone to take a Jiannanchun from the wine cellar and return it for her father and uncle to drink.

When she reached home, the carriage that was supposed to fetch Zhang Jinglin’s mother had just arrived at the manor’s entrance.

The housekeeper personally welcomed her and ordered the servant girls to help her carefully. Seeing the old woman leave the carriage, Luan Hong was curious about who she was. “Butler, who is this distinguished guest?”

Zhang Jinglin’s mother was shocked when she saw Luan Hong. This girl was beautiful and gracious. Her eyes were black and bright like gems. She was not as weak as other girls. She walked with the wind and spoke with confidence. She was generous and was not shy at all. How nice would it be if she was her daughter-in-law?

It’s Miss Su who invited her as a VIP.

The housekeeper hurriedly reported to Luan Hong. When she heard that it was a distinguished guest invited by her cousin, Luan Hong immediately supported the old lady warmly, as if they were family.

Zhang Jinglin liked her even more when he saw that this wealthy young lady did not put on any airs and even came to help her. However, her family’s status was too high to reach, and he could not help but feel a hint of regret in his eyes.

When Luan Hong helped Zhang Jinglin’s mother into the house, everyone was stunned, especially Zhang Jinglin..
