Chapter 1183: Chapter 1183: As Your Future Husband

Who knows, by then he might not even need to take the autumn imperial examination again and could become an official!

"The one I want to marry is Lin Caisang, Grandpa, you’re well aware of that. Now, Lin Caisang’s silver is no less than those from the prefect’s household! Marrying Ninth Miss, that woman, isn’t even comparable to marrying Lin Caisang."

Furthermore, how could Ninth Miss ever match Lin Caisang’s beauty that rivals that of a celestial maiden?

"Shut up!"

Elder Mr. Zhou snapped coldly.

Did he think he didn’t want his grandson to marry Lin Caisang?

But to marry her, one must be eligible first, let alone the fact that Ya Molian was already betrothed to Lin Caisang, even if that were not the case, Lin Caisang had not yet come of age, and was simply not available to marry right now!

What their family needed most now was silver, and by marrying the Ninth Miss from the prefect’s household, they could get a lot of silver, which would support their family’s expenses for food and clothing. Wouldn’t that be good?

"Liang’er, Grandpa didn’t say you couldn’t marry Lin Caisang, that’s a matter for the future. Now you should first marry Ninth Miss, do you understand?" he said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Liang’s eyes lit up.

"Grandpa, do you mean..."

That once Lin Caisang reached the age suitable for marriage, Grandpa would still try to find a way for him to marry her?

"This matter must not be discussed."

Elder Mr. Zhou raised his hand, cutting off his words.

"In any case, marry the Ninth Miss first and then slowly mend relations with the Lin Family. When the time comes, as long as we can persuade Lin Laogeng, there still could be a chance. First, establish a foothold in Ya Village, understand?"

He said.

"I understand, Grandpa."

Zhou Liang immediately nodded. As long as he could marry Lin Caisang, he was willing to agree to anything else.

Marrying a lady like Feng Yurui, what of it? She was just a woman, and besides, a woman who couldn’t bear sons. Couldn’t he simply resort to the seventh clause of divorce—release her if she is barren—when the time came?

"Grandpa, then I’ll go get ready."

He said cheerfully, then went off to prepare. Although tomorrow was not what he had hoped for, at least Feng Yurui was still a woman, right?

Without having married Lin Caisang, he couldn’t possibly remain without a woman, he wasn’t a monk after all. He could just use Feng Yurui as a temporary substitute, which was also a pretty good choice.

...

"That fast, really?"

Upon hearing the news, Lin Caisang couldn’t help but be secretly shocked. She had just returned from Qianlin County with Brother Molian, purchased some items, and then heard the news that the Zhou family was hosting a wedding.

And it was happening tomorrow.

"Fast?"

Ya Molian didn’t think it was fast at all; in fact, he found it too slow.

"Isn’t it?"

Lin Caisang countered.

But fast or slow, this wasn’t something she needed to worry about.

"Since it’s a wedding celebration in Ya Village, Elder Mr. Zhou must have invited quite a few people from the village, right?" she asked.

What she was concerned about was how many people from Ya Village would go to the Zhou family’s wedding feast, after all, the girl marrying Zhou Liang was the Ninth Miss from the prefect’s household.

"Anyone who received an invitation from Elder Mr. Zhou will attend, including your Grandpa and Grandma. It should be almost half of Ya Village, right?" Ya Molian replied.

Lin Caisang: "!!!"

Elder Mr. Zhou was quite something, rushing such an affair and still inviting so many people. Was he afraid that he wasn’t spending enough silver?

"Molian Brother, does that mean... you’ve also been invited?"

She asked.

"As your future husband, of course, I should go with the people from the Lin Family. Is there something wrong with that?" Ya Molian said.
