Eldest Sister, Why Haven't You Married Yet

98

Chapter 98 Mid-Autumn Festival

"Don't be nervous, I'm just casually asking." Seeing his bewildered look, You Jin couldn't help but laugh a little. She felt Han Li thought of herself as a bad guy who separates mandarin ducks: "You are sixteen now. If you are an ordinary person, you've reached the age to talk about marriage. If you have any ideas, why don't you tell me?"

Han Li shyly rubbed the back of his head. Thinking of the difference between himself and the person he loves, he couldn't help but feel a little dejected: "I have no parents and no family business. How can anyone be interested in me?"

The more Han Li thought, the more lost he felt in his heart. Afraid he was the toad who wants to eat swan meat!

You Jin didn't care what he was thinking and just stated: "Since you came, you had been reading and practicing calligraphy with our family. Why should you underestimate yourself? I currently have an idea. I want to send you to Chaxiang to help manage things, what do you think? "

"Go to Chaxiang?" Han Li understood Eldest Miss was promoting him. But at the thought that Er Hua would be left alone in Wuliqiao after he left, he still felt a little bit reluctant.

You Jin knew his worries and assured: "Just go with peace of mind. Er Hua will not be wronged in Su's house. Right now, there is only Song Hua in Chaxiang. He has no one to consult with when something happens. You have studied with Uncle Song for a while. It’s time to put it into practice."

In fact, You Jin's expectations for Han Li were more than that: "Besides, you can't relax your study when you go to Chaxiang. You’re currently not a lower class. It’s better to be a Tongsheng than to have a clean background."

According to Dafeng's law, lower class people who sold themselves cannot participate in the imperial examinations. When Han Li entered Su Family, he didn’t sell himself. Now it seems that it was a good thing.

After talking for a long time and seeing Han Li's entangled reaction, You Jin decided to increase the medicine dosage: "You can't possibly think of proposing marriage to our family with nothing, right? It's not that I don't know how you feel about You Yin. You Yin is my younger sister. I naturally hope for her to not suffer in the future. With your current state, what do you use to propose marriage?"

"Eldest Miss?!" Han Li was so frightened that his eyes stared straight at her. He didn't know what to say.

You Jin waved her hand and didn't bother with him anymore: "Just think about it carefully."

Then she sent him out. When Han Li left the study, his mind was like a puddle of paste, not knowing what to do.

***

Only You Jin and Han Li knew about this matter. Both tacitly never mentioned it like they had forgotten about it.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was getting closer. On the eleventh, Song Hua who was in Chaxiang returned to Wuliqiao after a few days of traveling.

"You've gotten thinner, darker, and taller" Looking at her son whom she hadn't seen for nearly two months, Auntie Song’s eyes couldn't help but turn red.

On the side, Uncle Song also teared up, but he suppressed his emotions and spoke, "It's a good thing that Son is back. Old woman, why are you crying so much? You must have been tossed around all the way back, go in and quickly rest."

Hearing what her man said, Auntie Song remembered that her son had been traveling a long way and was probably very tired. She hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Oh! That's right, Miss said that you just need to rest when you are back. Go in and have a rest, Son. Wait for Miss to come back before reporting for duty.”
