724 Someone She Likes

Su Chong opened his mouth in surprise. “Really? Chu Jin even told me that he was worried about his sister’s marriage before the new year. It’s a knot in his heart. Now that he’s married, he’s even more worried.”

Chu Jin was very concerned about his only sister. Chu Li was interested in someone, but Chu Jin actually didn’t know. What was going on?

Hu Changshou was also surprised. His eyes met Su Hua’s and he seemed to understand. He calmed down and said, “Does Second Brother know the person she likes? Who is he?”

Hu Changshou was very smart. He guessed that Su Hua knew him, and this person was someone Su Hua knew. It was very likely that even he knew him.

Hu Changshou’s thoughts ran through his mind. He quickly knew that Su Hua had concerns. Hu Changshou smiled and said, “Second Brother, just say it. I’m fine. I’m not qualified to be picky with Miss Chu, but I don’t like her that much. It’s my honor to be able to marry such a girl, but if we’re not fated, I won’t blame the heavens.”

Chu Li’s family background was good, and General Chu was a fourth-grade military officer. He had no right to be picky about Chu Li’s appearance and status. The two of them were of the right age and were chosen by the Chu family. Hu Changshou did not refuse, but if Chu Li did not like him, this matter would not succeed.

Hu Changshou was very calm. Su Hua looked at Hu Changshou and said slowly, “It’s Sun Baoshan, my wife’s brother.”

“What?”

Su Chong gasped in surprise.

Hu Changshou was also shocked when he heard that it was Sun Baoshan.

Su Hua looked at Su Chong and Hu Changshou and slowly explained the matter in detail.

Sun Baoqian and Chu Li had known each other for a few years. The two of them were in love. Now, they only need the elders of the two families to know and agree.

Sun Baoshan had already decided to propose marriage.

This matter should not involve Hu Changshou, but things were unpredictable. Hu Changshou and Chu Jin got to know each other, and Chu Jin valued Hu Changshou very much. The two of them had experienced life and death together.

Chu Jin had taken Hu Changshou in as his vice diplomat. He valued him so much and even specially let Hu Changshou meet his parents.

After a long silence, Hu Changshou said, “I see. That’s good.”

Sun Baoshan was a scholar. He was 19 years old this year and Chu Li was 17. The two of them were very compatible in age.

Although he was also 19 years old this year, he only knew how to grow crops and hunt in the past. He knew how to read, but he did not know how to write articles. He was just an ordinary farmer.

Chu Li had a gentle personality, and Sun Baoshan was also a refined person. It was quite good for a talent to be matched with a beauty.

Su Chong scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Su Hua reached out and patted Hu Changshou’s shoulder, asking him to look into his eyes. Then, he said seriously, “Changshou, Sun Baoshan is my wife’s brother. He has known Chu Li for a few years. It makes sense. I think they will form a good marriage, but you’re also my cousin. You’re also a good man who can stand tall. You’re not inferior to Sun Baoshan. If you like her, don’t leave any regrets. Go and try it boldly.”

“They’ve known each other for many years and neither of the elders on either side knows. Now that he heard about you, he panicked. You gave him a sense of danger, understand?”

Su Hua looked at Hu Changshou. He did not have to say these words, but he didn’t feel good if he didn’t.

Sun Baoshan had known the girl for several years and had long fallen in love with her. They were at the right age to get married, but there was no action from him at all. If his daughter was treated like this in the future, his first impression of him would not be good. If it was him, he would not agree easily.

“Changshou, you’re not inferior to Sun Baoshan. What Chu Jin likes is your future. Do you understand?”

Su Hua exposed the mystery in Hu Changshou’s heart.

Su Chong took a deep breath. The tip of his tongue touched his teeth and he felt that it was too complicated.

He wanted to say something, but he didn’t know how. It was better to remain silent.

Hu Changshou found it unbelievable. He watched as Su Hua’s lips moved. He swallowed and said, “Thank you, Second Brother. I know what to do. No matter what happens in the end, I won’t regret it.”

He was born in a farming family. Compared to Sun Baoshan, he felt a little inferior.

He didn’t even dare to fight for himself, but Su Hua’s words made him walk out of his inferiority complex.

His past was a foregone conclusion, but his future was immeasurable.

“That’s good.”

Su Hua smiled faintly.

Hu Changshou cupped his hands in thanks. He understood.

Chu Li was a good girl. Which man didn’t want to marry a virtuous wife? Who didn’t want a woman like Chu Li, who was beautiful and had a good family background? He had no choice when the Chu family chose him. He was willing in his heart. He would never encounter such a good thing again, so how could he be willing to miss it?

Su Hua’s words made him understand what to do. He had to at least fight for himself.

Su Xiaolu was relieved to hear this from the eaves.

She returned quietly.

During dinner that night, this matter was not mentioned.

Hu Changshou smiled gently and returned after dinner.

Su Xiaolu felt that this was quite good. It was awkward to talk about it. However, thinking about Sun Baoshan and Hu Changshou, she did not know who would win the heart of the Chu family’s girl in the end.

By the time there was a result, she would probably not be in the capital.

She could only find out through letters.

At night, Su Xiaolu was already asleep.

She felt something sweep across her face. Su Xiaolu opened her eyes. A few vines with small white flowers gently brushed against her face. She opened her eyes, got up, and gently went out.

She flew out of the house and saw Zhou Zhi standing not far away, wrapped in a robe. He had a jade crown tied around his hair and was dressed noblely. What a noble and cold Young Master.

Su Xiaolu stood in front of him in confusion. “Fourth Brother, what’s the matter so late?”

Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “Xiaolu, Happy New Year.”

During the New Year, he was in the palace and could not find time. Now that the New Year was over, it was already very late when he came out of the palace. He had yet to return to the residence, but he wanted to visit her.

Even if he knew that there was no outcome, he could not stay away.

It didn’t matter if he was sincere at that moment or not. It didn’t matter what the future held. All he knew was that he wanted to see her now, at this moment.

“Thank you. Happy New Year to Fourth Brother too. In the new year, I wish Fourth Brother success, good health, and everything will be as you wish.”

Su Xiaolu smiled and said the blessings in her mind.

“When are we leaving for Qinghai?”

Su Xiaolu asked.

“Ask the two Seniors. I can do it anytime.”

Zhou Zhi said gently.

Su Xiaolu nodded. She lowered her head and looked at her toes.

“Xiaolu, I’ll go back then. You should go back and rest early too.”

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu. Her black hair reached her waist. She looked beautiful no matter how he looked at her.

He couldn’t help but reach out to touch it, but he restrained himself.

This couldn’t happen. It was not right.
