Chapter 563: Hu Family Motto (1)
"I'm curious, you've only been here for a few days and you've already taken a liking to Zi Ling?" Mother Ji asked with raised eyebrows. Is it so quick?
Although she had thought about matchmaking for them, she was also planning to wait until everything was settled and find reliable men for the girls. Hu Tian and Hu De have only been here for a few days, so why would they have to marry Zi Ling?
Hu Tian chuckled when he heard what Ji Xiaowu said. "We in the Hu family believe in love at first sight. For a woman we can't forget at first sight, we will follow our hearts and not let ourselves regret it."
"Is that so?" Ji Xiaomu blinked in understanding. She didn't expect that there really existed such a family.
"Our family is quite special. This is the ancestral motto of our ancestors. When he was young, he fell in love with my great-grandmother, but because of his hesitation, he almost let my great-grandmother marry another man. Later, he finally got my great-grandmother back. After our ancestor became the patriarch, the Hu family had this family motto. We, the disciples of the Hu family, have started training since we were young, and our goal is to serve the country and fight on the battlefield." Hu Tian had a smile on his face and his eyes were full of determination.
"Life is unpredictable, and the battlefield is full of dangers. We don't have so much time to be romantic, fall in love at first sight, and be together for life." Hu Tian explained, "Of course, if you can't come back... the Hu family will give the woman the right to choose. If she stays in the Hu family, the Hu family will take care of her for the rest of her life. If she wants to leave, the Hu family will also give her a sum of money to let her leave."
"It sounds very humane..." Ji Xiaonu nodded. This simple approach was indeed suitable for a special family like the Hu family.
"Has there ever been a divorce or a love affair in your family?" asked Ji Xiaomu curiously.
"Of course there are." Hu Tian said truthfully, "Some were arranged by their parents. They followed the arrangements because they were afraid they wouldn't be able to come back. Later, they met the girl they loved, and it became a pity."
"Then how is it resolved in the end?" asked Ji Xiaomu. It is possible that both parties married each other, after all, in this era, one can have three wives and four concubines.
"Knowing that her husband was in love with someone else, the woman was sad but did not pursue the matter. The Hu family gave her some money and she left the Hu family." Hu Tian sighed.
"That's not bad." Ji Xiaowu nodded. It would be good for both parties. A short pain is worse than a long one.
"Madam, Zi Ling...if she agrees to marry me, can you make it happen?" Hu Tian looked at Ji Xiaomu anxiously. He just wanted to get a definite answer from Ji Xiaomu.
"If Zi Ling agrees, I certainly won't stop you, but I require that Zi Ling must be married off from the teahouse in a dignified manner." Ji Xiaomu looked at Hu Tian seriously and said.
"There is absolutely no problem with this." Hu Tian smiled, "Madam is kind."
"By the way, Madam..." Hu Tian remembered the important matter and said quickly.
"What's wrong?" asked Ji Xiaomu, drinking a sip of tea calmly.
Hu Tian told Ji Xiaomu about the businessmen who had been looking for him as a bodyguard. After listening to her, Ji Xiaomu was silent for a while, and suddenly slammed the table. "Yes! You can be bodyguards for the escort agency! Oh, I have a stupid brain, why didn't I think of this."
"Madam..." Hu Tian was frightened by Ji Xiaomu's sudden excitement. When he looked up, he saw Ji Xiaomu muttering to herself.
"You have more than a thousand soldiers and generals, so you can definitely set up an escort agency. With your qualifications, you are the perfect escort! Escorting can provide protection for merchants and open up sales channels. You can also take advantage of the opportunity to spy on the enemy..."
