501 Agree 2
Chen Hu and Madam Qian were stunned.
Chen Hu scratched his head. “Does Chong like her? Or did Teacher Lin use this to threaten Hua because he was the top scorer?”
After Chen Hu finished speaking, Madam Qian pinched him and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Teacher Lin is not such a person. If he wanted to marry his daughter off, it would be easy. If Yaoyao wanted to marry, she would have done so long ago. Yaoyao is waiting for a man who knows her heart. Do you think she will marry just anyone?”
Chen Hu touched his arm in embarrassment and apologized. “Brother, Sister-in-law, don’t listen to my nonsense.”
Su Sanlang smiled and said, “It’s not your fault. We didn’t expect Chong to like Yaoyao either.”
Madam Zhao also smiled gently and told Chen Hu and Madam Qian the reason.
Chen Hu and Madam Qian listened quietly. After hearing it, they revealed understanding expressions.
Chen Hu said, “Cupid has his ways. Chong and Yaoyao are both good children and are compatible. It’s best if they get married as soon as possible. Since they’re both at the age to get married, he didn’t delay them anymore.”
Madam Qian also said, “That’s right. It’s best to get married as soon as possible. If Teacher Lin and the others agree, let’s settle the formalities as soon as possible and set a wedding date.”
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao smiled and nodded. They had the same intention, but the details depended on the Lin family’s reply after receiving the letter.
If the Lin family had the same intention, they would do it earlier. If they did not want to do it too soon, they would do it later.
They had all agreed. Naturally, they would prioritize their children and not fuss over such a small matter.
Su Chong no longer had a knot in his heart and devoted himself to training. The martial arts examination was set for the fourth day of October. He naturally could not relax if he wanted to get first place. There were countless martial artists in the world. Every person who practiced martial arts diligently could not be underestimated. Everyone wanted to be first, so they naturally had to do their best.
He had defeated a martial arts genius who was qualified for the martial arts examination to obtain the qualifications, so he had to do his best.
He did not need to practice sword techniques, but he had to practice all aspects of his punches and kicks.
By September, Chu Jin and Qi Xingfeng were no longer his opponents. Even if the two of them joined forces, they could not defeat him.
After sweating profusely, the three of them sat on the ground. Chu Jin panted and said, “Brother Su, you’re really too terrifying. You’re improving at such a fast speed. You were born to be a general.”
Chu Jin felt that Su Chong’s ability was terrifying. He had improved greatly and his learning ability was super strong. It made him feel like he could only look up to him.
Before this, he felt that among all the students in the capital, only Qi Xingfeng could be his opponent.
Now, he and Qi Xingfeng were no longer Su Chong’s match.
“Brother Su, why don’t you come to my house for a meal? I’ll introduce you to my sister. Really, I don’t mind my sister being your wife.”
Chu Jin had this thought again. He really couldn’t control himself. In his opinion, only a strong man could be a man and let his sister live a good life. Moreover, Su Chong was already a High Scholar. He was talented in academics and martial arts. He was simply perfect.
Qi Xingfeng said coldly, “Your father doesn’t agree.”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “Your mother doesn’t agree.”
Chu Leizhen was a fourth-grade general. How could he let his only daughter be a mistress? Moreover, Mrs. Chu wouldn’t agree either. He had heard from his mother that Mrs. Chu liked scholars and even wanted to investigate Qi Xingzhi.
No matter how much Chu Jin hoped for Su Chong to become his brother-in-law, it was impossible for him to get what he wanted.
Su Chong smiled and said, “Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Brother Chu, but I don’t have this fortune. My heart belongs to someone else. I can’t have anyone else. I can’t give a single inch of my heart to another woman. She’ll be sad. I like her so much, so how can I make her sad? She can agree to marry me and endure so many rumors for me. I don’t want her to lose.”
His marriage with Lin Yaoyao would be watched and criticized by many people.
If his heart was split into a few pieces, he believed that Lin Yaoyao wouldn’t care about him. This wasn’t what he wanted.
He didn’t care how others criticized or guessed. He hoped that all the criticism and guesses would be in vain. He hoped that many years later, Lin Yaoyao wouldn’t regret marrying him. What kind of relationship could overcome all the criticism and guesses? He would definitely not let go for the rest of her life, from her black hair to her white hair, as the only person by her side.
This was what he wanted to give Lin Yaoyao.
Hearing Su Chong’s words, Chu Jin and Qi Xingfeng fell silent.
After pondering for a while, Chu Jin sighed. “Brother Su, although I think it’s not worth it for you to be like this, I admire you very much. You’re just like my father. You only give your life to one woman. Really, my father only married my mother. Sometimes, I don’t understand why he doesn’t take in more women. I think I definitely can’t be like him, but I admire people who can do it.”
“Of course, Little General Qi’s father didn’t take concubines either. The general’s family style is relatively simple, but there aren’t many who don’t take concubines.”
Chu Jin glanced at Qi Xingfeng and asked curiously, “Little general Qi, are you going to take concubines in the future?”
Qi Xingfeng rolled his eyes at Chu Jin. “No idea.”
Chu Jin grinned and said jokingly, “Haha, in the future, I’ll take in at least eight or ten of them. I’ll take in all of them, be it weak willows, flirtatious ones, cold ones, lively ones, and let each of them give birth to at least three children for me.”
“Stupid.”
Qi Xingfeng rolled his eyes. There were so many women, and all of them had different personalities. Wouldn’t the family be in chaos?
Chu Jin smiled and said, “I know what you mean. Do you think that the official wife won’t agree? Then I’ll settle my relationship with my wife. I believe that I’ll definitely be able to control it well and let everyone live under the same roof safely. I believe in love and harmony. All my worries are about how to earn military merits and more money.”
Chu Jin deeply felt that those families who were unstable were because they were not able to grasp the balance between the main wife and the concubines. As long as they grasped it well, everything would definitely be fine.
Qi Xingfeng didn’t want to speak anymore.
Su Chong smiled and said, “Then I wish Brother Chu success.”
He did not understand those things. Everyone had different preferences. As Chu Jin’s friend, he could only give his blessings.
Qi Xingfeng only gave his two words. “My blessings.”
Chu Jin chuckled and said, “Thank you for your auspicious words, Brother Su. Thank you for your auspicious words, little general Qi. Just watch. I will definitely get what I want.”
If Chu Jin could predict the future, he would definitely regret his words today. If he could see his future self, he would know how young and ignorant he was now.
Su Chong remembered that Chen Erniu would be getting married in a few days. He said to Chu Jin, “Brother Chu, come to my house for a wedding on the ninth. My sister is getting married.”
Chu Jin immediately agreed. “Sure.”
After agreeing, Chu Jin asked again, “If I remember correctly, the Crown Prince’s wedding is on the sixth of December.”
