Struggle in Ancient Times

Back in his study, Liao Tingyu ate his meal slowly. It was noodle with soup but he didn’t taste anything at all. Well, his mind was full of thoughts; did the Huang family send something? Does Huang Zilan like him or not? He felt a little nervous.

Liao Tingyu was a person who moved according his thought, he put down his meal and flipped over the invitation cards. Fortunately, he saw the familiar name, the signature was under Huang Hao and the content was praising him from head to toe.

The familiar words made him want to punch that person, does this written to him? Liao Tingyu saw clearly this card was meant for him but looking at the content… how could it be like this?

‘I saw you in white clothes, with an ethereal figures and shiny black hairs streaming down your shoulders. Your face was like a jade with indifferent expression, which made people thought of heavenly immortal. Since then, it was unforgettable in my heart. I dream about it at night, wishing to grow old together with you. Do you think so too?’

Liao Tingyu was shivering all lover, what kind of sentences is this? Isn’t this too much for a friendly letter? Grow old together? Dreaming about it at night, what the hell? This could make people panicky. Liao Tingyu had black lines all over his head, although he indeed wore white clothes but his hair was all tied up that day.

.

Huang Hao who had taken refuge in his uncle’s house, proudly told his cousin and uncle about the invitation he sent to Liao Tingyu.

Huang Zilan looked at his greasy thick-skinned cousin, he was thankful it was signed under his cousin’s name. if it was under his father, his reputation might be lost. Huang Zilan viciously glared at his cousin, this shameless person, luckily, he was friend with Liao Tingyu and it could be treated as a joke between friends.

Huang Hao and Huang Yujin felt there was nothing wrong with the card. In their minds, people loved praises. So, Huang Yujin gave Huang Hao generous pocket money. He said, Huang Hao could stay as long as he wanted, and if his father came the uncle would block him.

Huang Hao was very happy to find safe haven.

.

Liao Tingyu took Huang Hao’s card separately; this would be the evidence for him to question Huang Hao.

At dinner, mother Deng couldn’t hold back herself and asked her son’s thoughts, “Xiao-erzi, how was it? What’s your thought after reading the cards?”

“What do I think?” Liao Tingyu turned his head away from her.

“It’s about finding a wife!” mother Deng replied.

“Didn’t I say it at noon? I won’t think about it now, we will talk again after I have a house in the town.”

Liao Ming frowned and asked carefully, “Why do you need a house in the town? Xiao-erzi, do you have someone you like?”

Person that I like? Liao Tingyu suddenly thought of that cute and fierce ger who reminded him of little lion, “Father, I don’t think worry about it. Fate will come when it was time.”

Mother Deng looked at his son like this, she was once a girl and knew there must be someone in his heart, “It seemed that my son has found someone. Who is it? How’s the appearance? Is it a ger or girl? How about the family background?” mother Deng hurriedly asked.

Under his mother’s attack, Liao Tingyu chose to eat in silence, it was best if he didn’t answer any questions. Mother Deng would definitely go to the matchmaker to get it all done. Apart from his status as scholar, Liao Tingyu didn’t own much. Even for money, he wasn't that rich.

He didn’t want the spoiled ger came to live a hard life in the village with him. He wanted to use his own hands and built a nice home that could shelter his beautiful wife from wind and rain.
