Chapter 128 The New Son-in-Law Arrives

As Xue Yourong's words fell, the old housekeeper suddenly walked over in a hurry.

"Why are you here at this time?"

Xue Ke Cun was stunned. Although he didn't entirely agree with his daughter's statement, he knew himself that it was indeed a bit difficult to get this batch of military supplies.

"What else could it be? Most likely it won't be successful!"

Xue Yourong muttered.

"Seeing son-in-law's smiling face, it seems there's some good news!"

The old housekeeper said with a smile.

"You take him to the front hall first, I'll be right there!"

Xue Ke Cun unceremoniously patted his daughter's back and then walked forward directly.

"Father, how about I go with you?"

Xue Yourong's eyes rolled, and she suddenly said.

"What? You haven't seen each other for a few days, and now you want to see him?"

Xue Ke Cun teased his daughter.

"Who wants to see him?"

Xue Yourong's face instantly turned red.

"Alright, if you want to see him, then go. Anyway, the Xue family's children don't need to be like those hypocrites!"

Seeing his daughter's shy appearance, Xue Ke Cun burst into laughter.

The children of a military family should have the demeanor of children of a military family. Anyway, the two of them were about to get married.

The matter of the marriage had been preliminarily set by him and Han Jiayan for the third day of May.

What was missing now was Han Mo's success in the imperial examinations. If Han Mo could achieve success in the imperial examinations this year, it would be double happiness.

He didn't know what schemes his daughter had in mind, otherwise, he probably wouldn't have let Xue Yourong go to the front hall.

"Then you go first, I'll get ready and be right there!"

"So mysterious. Alright, you handle it yourself!"

Xue Ke Cun was too lazy to guess the thoughts of these young girls. He shook his head and strode forward.

"Mo Ge'er, why have you come at this time? Is there any difficulty? If there is any difficulty, just say it. I know this matter is not easy to handle!"

Since he was about to become his son-in-law, Xue Ke Cun spoke without any restraint.

Anyway, generals were straightforward, speaking whatever they had to say.

"Uncle, please take a look at this first!"

As Han Mo spoke, he took out the document from his sleeve.

Then he placed it directly in front of Xue Ke Cun and sat down again.

"This tea is good. Please try it first. If you like it, you can take some back when you go."

As the saying goes, a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law becomes more pleasing to the eye the more she looks. In fact, this is also true for a father-in-law.

Just like Xue Ke Cun now, Han Mo's appearance was too pleasing to the eye.

Tall and well-built, with a face that was indeed sharp and distinct.

Paired with this simple green scholar's robe, he looked spirited and energetic. His every move, whether walking, sitting, or standing, was proper.

Not a single person in the entire mansion, including the master and the servants, was not satisfied.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Whether it was due to this body or something else, Han Mo actually felt quite enjoyable drinking this medicinal-like tea, which made Han Mo unable to understand his taste buds.

"By the way, have you been to your uncle's mansion these past two days?"

This matter had only happened a few days ago. Although Xue Ke Cun was anxious, he did not urge Han Mo. So, after taking the document, he simply put it aside and chatted with Han Mo with a smile.

"To be honest, I haven't been there in the last few days. Is there anything?"

Speaking of this, Han Mo was actually a little ashamed.

These past few days, he was first busy with disaster relief, and then immediately with the Crown Prince and Liang Shicheng.

He had to attend classes at the Imperial Academy during the day. Last night, he finally had a little time and made a scene at Fanlou.

Thinking about it now, it had indeed been a long time since he had seen Han Jiayan.

"Since you haven't been, it's the same for me to tell you. Your uncle and I have found a good day for you. How about the third day of May?"

Xue Ke Cun knew a little bit about Han Mo's movements during this period. After all, Han Mo had made such a big splash in Bianliang City, it was hard for him not to know.

"A good day?"

Hearing these three words, Han Mo was stunned, but then he reacted. It seemed he was talking about the wedding date.

"This, isn't it a bit too rushed..."

Han Mo's mouth twitched. Although Xue Yourong's appearance was impeccable, the idea of getting married so suddenly made Han Mo a little unaccustomed.

"The date is indeed a bit rushed, but don't worry. We old folks will handle other matters. I've already prepared the mansion for you. It's being renovated now, and you can move in directly when the time comes! I also know that you've been busy with the imperial examinations recently. Don't worry, we old people will definitely not cause you any trouble!"

He was already very satisfied with Han Mo, and now Han Mo had suddenly won the title of Bianliang's number one scholar, and some people were even calling him the number one scholar of the Great Song Dynasty, which made Xue Ke Cun even more proud.

You must know that in the scholar-official circles, this title was more resonant than the top scholar!

The top scholar was produced every year, but a scholar was different.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there had only been a few people who could be rated as the number one scholar.

Moreover, in Xue Ke Cun's heart, he understood that this young man was not like those pedantic scholars, whose minds were filled only with poetry and songs.

How could the offspring of the Han family not understand politics?

Not only did this young man understand politics, but to put it bluntly, he was full of cunning schemes!

Now, what the Xue family lacked was precisely this kind of talent.

The Great Song Dynasty had been in existence for over a hundred years. The influence of the Xue family had begun to decline by his generation. He understood that the current situation was precisely because he couldn't play the game of civil officials.

Now, with such a son-in-law, the day of the Xue family's revival was likely in sight.

"Daddy, your daughter made some pastries for you. Please try them!"

At this moment, Xue Yourong suddenly came in with two plates of pastries.

As she passed by Han Mo, she deliberately gave him a smile.

However, for some reason, seeing the forced smile on her face, Han Mo suddenly felt a thumping in his heart.

Is this girl going to plot against me?
