Chapter 1080: Big ideas

The three young men looked at today, the first impression was okay; they were tall and big, with upright features. They looked like military men.

As for their specific character and family style, they still needed to continue to examine.

It could only be said that the initial impression barely passed.

Privately, Chen Xiaolan asked Su Rongrong if she had taken a fancy to anyone.

Su Rongrong shook her head; it was clear she hadn't opened her heart yet and couldn't tell good from bad.

Chen Xiaolan was anxious. "You don't have anyone you like yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Su Rongrong thought carefully and said, "If I really have to say I like someone, I like someone like Uncle."

"Someone like your uncle, besides having a good appearance, what else is there?"

"Mother, you are wrong! Uncle not only has a good appearance but also acts decisively, has his own ideas, and has responsibility. Whoever Uncle wants to protect, no one should think of touching. And Uncle is also very family-oriented!"

"So many advantages, how come I didn't see them. He doesn't even have a family; how can you see he is family-oriented."

Su Rongrong hummed, a bit dissatisfied, dissatisfied with her mother slandering her uncle.

She said seriously, "As long as it is your request, Mother, even if Uncle is unwilling, he will compromise. If this isn't family-oriented, what is? Most importantly, Uncle is different from other men.

Other men, when treating women, even if they are self-restrained, inevitably reveal a sense of being high and mighty. In their bones, they believe that daughters are weak and can't do anything, believing that women have long hair and short knowledge.

But Uncle never does; Uncle has always looked at all women with equal eyes. In Uncle's eyes, daughters are not much different from men. Mother, do you know that Cousin Mengxun from the Hou Fu might enter the palace for the selection?"

"I have heard of this matter. Why are you saying this?"

"Then does Mother know what advice Uncle gave Cousin Mengxun?"

"What advice? To be a good wife and mother..."

"Vulgar! Vulgar to the extreme! Uncle told Cousin Mengxun to give up being a good wife and mother, to give up the dogmas that bind people like gentleness and virtue. He taught her that once she enters the imperial family, she must fight for power and profit like a man. In the imperial family, everything is fake; only power is real."

Huh?

Chen Xiaolan was shocked.

She pulled her own daughter and asked nervously, "Did your uncle really say that? Did you hear it with your own ears?"

"Cousin Mengxun told me herself. For this reason, the Hou Fu hired famous teachers for Cousin Mengxun again, and what she learned is very different from before. I think what Uncle said makes a lot of sense. As long as one possesses power, all the dissatisfaction in life can be offset. This is like Mother having money in hand; all contradictions become insignificant."

"You, you, you... you dead girl. Usually, you look very gentle, but I didn't expect you to have a belly full of ideas today. Then tell me, what ideas do you have about your marriage?"

Once asked about marriage, Su Rongrong fell into confusion again. "I don't know, don't ask me."

"Really not a single one you like?"

"None! Not one compares to Uncle." Su Rongrong was a bit annoyed, and her mood was not very good.

Chen Xiaolan sneered. "If you look for someone according to your uncle's standards, I tell you, you will never meet a suitable one in your life. Just talking about your uncle's appearance, how many people in the world can compare to him?

But your uncle also has shortcomings; he reads little, and his knowledge is half-baked. Back when he was studying, he didn't put his heart into it, and his personality was awkward. Later, I don't know how he figured it out and ran to the Heavenly Prison to work. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed."

Su Rongrong bit her thin lip, while her heart was churning.

She thought for a moment and said to her mother, "That thick-lipped one today is no good; he looks unpleasant, I don't like him."

"Fine! That one surnamed Huang you mentioned, exclude him first. You girl, you have also learned to judge people by their appearance."

"Don't tell me Mother is willing to stay in the same room every day with someone who looks unpleasant. It would be annoying to death. Choosing a husband is a major event for a lifetime; at least find someone who looks pleasant. At least don't look at each other with mutual disgust!"

Chen Xiaolan suddenly discovered that her daughter's tongue was quite sharp. Usually, she didn't make a sound, but she didn't expect that today she seemed to have opened her mind and was quite capable of speaking.

"How do you look at the other two families?"

"Average. Uncle said he would help me examine the situation of the two families; wait until Uncle has a result before deciding. I believe in Uncle's vision; if he says it's good, it must be good. If he says it's no good, no matter what, I won't marry."

"It turns out you only listen to your uncle. You don't listen to a word your father and I say. Do you understand what is meant by the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers?" Chen Xiaolan feigned anger and criticized severely.

Su Rongrong felt a bit guilty. "But... Uncle is knowledgeable and sees people very accurately. Is it wrong to listen to Uncle? Mother and Father are busy with the teahouse all day and have few social engagements; I'm afraid your ability to guess human hearts is not as good as Uncle's."

Chen Xiaolan suddenly laughed out loud. "You are truly devoted to your uncle, and it's not in vain that your uncle has cared for and concerned himself with you all these years. Alright, you can rest assured; your uncle and I have already discussed it, and your marriage must be approved by him. If he doesn't approve, your father and I will definitely not act on our own."

Su Rongrong suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.

With Uncle keeping an eye on things, she didn't worry about anything.

She believed Uncle would definitely find her a good family.

Regarding his niece's marriage, Chen Guanlou felt great pressure and felt a heavy responsibility.

For the first time in two lives, he was taking charge of a marriage and acting as a matchmaker; he had no experience and was all talk on paper, so he was a bit blind.

He mentioned this matter to Medical Official Mu.

Medical Official Mu laughed at him for being blind to the truth. "What is there to worry about? Just follow the method of investigating cases in normal times and turn the man's family situation upside down; you won't worry about not finding the truth. This matter can be entrusted to the Six Shanmen; they are professionals."

Chen Guanlou frowned slightly. "This is marriage, not enmity. If the Six Shanmen come forward, it is easy to offend people."

"Then let the brothers from the Six Sects investigate in secret. Don't alert the man's side, and that way we won't offend anyone. My lord, with so many people up and down the Heavenly Prison, we can manage to dig up ordinary street gossip, but to investigate a whole family thoroughly, only the Six Sects will do. Just as you said, many truths are hidden in places we cannot see. If we encounter someone who is merely fishing for fame and reputation, how could others possibly uncover the truth?"

"Reasonable. I am concerned and confused; this matter really has to rely on the brothers of the Six Shanmen to help. Matchmakers are unreliable, and the Hou Fu side only does preliminary screening; it is impossible to understand everything."

This matter should be done early rather than late.

Chen Guanlou found Han Shan, a brother he was familiar with in the Six Shanmen, and asked him to help investigate his niece's blind date objects and their family situations.

"Be detailed; no detail can be missed. The inside story of the man's family, the situation of all the people, must be investigated. I know this matter is tedious and troublesome; take this bit of hard work fee first. After the matter is done, there will be a heavy reward."

Han Shan accepted the silver with joy, thinking that such errands are better the more there are. With this income, his hands felt loose, and he was even slightly wealthy. ===== CHAPTER 1081 =====
