The provincial and academy examinations were approaching, and Su Yi was busy preparing for the exams every day, and Liu Huan also focused his attention on him.

After all, the whole process is for his exam, so don't put the cart before the horse.

Worried, he emphasized, "Shi Tou, don't eat out recently. Come back early and I'll cook for you."

Su Yi: “Yeah, I understand.”

When the exam was almost approaching, Su's father and mother came.

He also brought good news. Liu Huan asked, "Mom, what's the good news?"

Su's mother smiled from ear to ear: "Your eldest brother's marriage"

Liu Huan asked hurriedly: "It's decided, which girl is it?"

Mother Su waited for her to ask: "She is the niece of Mr. Huang's family in town. I have seen that girl. She is very graceful. Although her looks are not perfect, she is a good match for your eldest brother."

"is it?"

Su's mother smiled even more proudly: "How could I lie to you? The girl also said that if it's possible, we can get married next month."

"Did Big Brother see it?"

Su's mother whispered to him a funny story: "Your eldest brother, that blockhead, just met him hastily that day, and he has already started learning to make hairpins."

He spoke from the bottom of his heart to her: "I think that with our family's previous conditions, not to mention Mr. Huang's niece, even Ah Hua in the village would have had a hard time. We should be content."

"Mom is still waiting to hold her grandson"

Liu Huan always felt that something was wrong. Although she had never been married, she knew that marriage could not be taken lightly, especially in ancient times.

Three letters, six engagement letters, and eight sedan chair bearers would take at least half a year to complete.

How come this niece of Mr. Huang is so fast?

"Mom, I remember that it took my eldest cousin half a year to get married, how come this girl got married so quickly?"

Su's mother didn't know how to respond to this question. After thinking for a while, she said, "Maybe she thinks that it's the same whether she gets married sooner or later."

Liu Huan felt that this reason was too far-fetched. No matter how anxious he was, he would not disregard his daughter's happiness.

Seeing how happy Su's mother was, she didn't want to say anything malicious and speculative.

He just changed the subject and talked about doing business with the Guan family.

“So many in one day?”

Su's mother was shocked when she heard this. How could people in this county be so rich?

Liu Huan: "We are going to open a branch store soon, and we will need more chili peppers by then. Please send a message to your uncle's family and ask them to plant more."

Su's mother was very proud: "Well, well, the village has made a lot of money because of you. Everyone is grateful to you."

For fear of affecting Su Yi's exam, Liu Huan did not tell him about his elder brother.

It was half a month later when he finished the provincial and imperial examinations.

Su's mother sent them news, asking them to go back, saying that the eldest brother was engaged.

Liu Huan then remembered that she had forgotten about this matter.

"Brother is engaged. Did mother tell you about it?" Su Yi asked. How come he was engaged without him even hearing about it?

"Oh, the last time my parents came up to talk to you, you had an exam at that time, so I didn't want to disturb you."

When I got home, the atmosphere was festive and there were lots of things, all wrapped in red paper.

"You are back just in time. We are going to Miss Huang's house to get engaged tomorrow. You can go with us and let the Huang family see our future scholar."

Liu Huan's sixth sense was very accurate, and she intuitively felt that it was not that simple.

But no matter what, you have to watch it to know.

It was a rare occasion for everyone to have a meal together, so after the meal Xiao Shi slipped into Liu Huan's room.

He took the things and closed the door stealthily, then tiptoed over: "Huanhuan? Huanhuan?"

Liu Huan sat up on the bed, his hair was already a mess: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Shi chuckled twice, "I missed you so much, did you miss me?"

Liu Huan lied without thinking: "I want to, but I can't even enjoy my meal."

Xiao Shi looked at her flushed face and didn't believe it at all.

"You said you looked like me, but you've gained weight, you ungrateful man."

After saying that, he left angrily.

Liu Huan was woken up very early the next day and changed into the new dress made for her by Cao'er. Su Yi skillfully tied her hair into a bun and put a hair flower on her. She looked much more energetic.

Su's mother ordered the family to carry the things and go to the girl's house with the matchmaker.

The town is not big and Mr. Huang’s house is very close, so we arrived there quickly.

There was a servant guarding the door, and when he saw them coming he quickly opened the door.

Mrs. Huang came out to greet him warmly: "Oh, my dear, please come in."

Mrs. Huang was wearing gold and silver jewelry and had a big gold locket on her chest. She looked like a nouveau riche.

Standing next to him was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen. She was not pretty, but very fair. Just as Su's mother said, she was fair and clean, and looked blessed.

But even so, Liu Huan still saw a look of disgust in her eyes, even if it was just a fleeting moment.

It turns out that things are not that simple.

The matchmaker enthusiastically tried to smooth things over, "I've never seen such a perfect match, a golden boy and a jade girl. If they get married, they will definitely give Madam Su a big fat grandson."

When Su's mother heard this, she probably thought of her cousin Su Zhuangzhuang and almost laughed her teeth off.

"I've been waiting for this day."

Dashi kept his head down and his ears turned red.

Mrs. Huang took one look and said jokingly, "Stop talking, everyone. The two kids are shy."

After hearing this, Dashi was even more ashamed.

The matchmaker raised her eyebrows and said, "Dashi, why don't you take Miss Huang for a walk?"

Dashi said in a muffled voice: "Oh... um."

Before he could say anything, Miss Huang walked away first. Dashi froze for a moment, then hurriedly followed.

Su's mother felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't show it on her face.

The matchmaker tried to smooth things over, "This... Miss is still shy. It will be fine after she gets married."

Su's mother's discomfort was finally dispelled.

Liu Huan used the excuse of going to the toilet. After the servant took her there, she told the servant to go back. "Thank you for leading the way, sister. I will go back by myself later."

After the servants left, she ran towards Dashi and the other man.

In the garden, the two of them were seen far apart, and Miss Huang looked very impatient.

Dashi was timid.

In order to hear clearly what they were saying, Liu Huan hid behind the rockery behind them.

Then I heard Dashi say, "Ms. Huang, this is a pear blossom hairpin I made myself. I give it to you."

Miss Huang just took a look and said thank you lightly.

Dashi didn't know how to get along with girls and was speechless for a long time.

Miss Huang looked a little impatient, and she kept touching her belly and covering her nose.

"Mr. Su, I heard that your family has opened several shops. Will all these shops belong to you in the future?"

Oishi was obviously shocked why she would ask that, but had to answer.

"No, those belong to us brothers and sisters."

Miss Huang was obviously a little unhappy: "So what the matchmaker said was false. How are we going to support our child in the future?"

Dashi explained anxiously: "No! I can earn money, and I will have a share of it in the future, and I can support my children."

Miss Huang was obviously dissatisfied: "You earn that little money, and you want to share it among your brothers. Your second brother is still studying. No, go back and tell your mother that we have to separate after we get married, and we want two shops."

Dashi lowered his head and said nothing, and Miss Huang did not urge him.

"Anyway, it's up to you. We'll be a family from now on. I'll marry you next month. How can I harm you?"

When she said this, her hand subconsciously touched her belly.

As soon as they left, Liu Huan turned around and saw Shi Tou standing behind him. He shuddered with fear.

"Shi Tou, what are you doing? You scared me."

Shitou looked in the direction the two were leaving and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Of course I am...I'm looking at my future sister-in-law."

Su Yi said leisurely: "He looks like a liar."

Liu Huan didn't know how to describe his current mood. It was as if a helper showed up when he was at a loss.

"You can see that something is wrong with Miss Huang, right? Do you think Miss Huang is pregnant?"

Liu Huan was shocked by his own conclusion. This... couldn't be possible. It was said that women in ancient times attached great importance to their reputation.

Su Yi's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible hostility, and then he said calmly: "Maybe, let's go back."

Liu Huan had something on his mind and he was thinking all the way, not even looking at the road carefully.

He almost bumped into a tree, but Su Yi pulled him away: "Walk properly, you don't have enough self-control, you will fall down and you will cry."

Liu Huan came back to her senses and smiled, revealing her dimples: "Aren't you here with me?"
