Chapter 8: Nose Picking? Tummy Hurts

  Li Jiancheng led Li Yuanba to the main hall, walked to Han Fu's side: "Cough... Han...... This is my third brother, I still have government affairs, you chat!" After finishing speaking, he flashed away! How can this be introduced? Is it still Big Brother Han? In an era that emphasizes generation order, this is very embarrassing! People who are used to calling someone "Big Brother" suddenly change their mouth to call him "Uncle" is really hard to change! According to the generation order of this era, Li Jiancheng calling Han Chong "Uncle" is quite normal! However, the other family's fortunes have declined, and they have had little contact with the Li family. Coming to rely on Li Jiancheng, how can he bear to let his master call him "Uncle"? The face of a door-to-door comparison, Han Chong also didn't dare to go to Li Yuan under Li Jiancheng, but it's better to be under Li Jiancheng!

  Han's father and daughter were woken up by Li Jiancheng, and they quickly got up and bowed their heads to Li Yuanba: "Subordinates Han Niuhong (commoner Han Lin) have seen the third young master!" Li Yuanba looked at his older brother and said a word before flashing away, feeling a bit at a loss. I haven't experienced the etiquette of ancient people! How do I return the courtesy? And the other party may become my father-in-law and wife!

  "Ah, ah! No need for formalities! Sit down, let's talk...". Speechless Li Yuanba could only hurry to help up the possibly future father-in-law and have him sit down. After using a bit of force to press Han Chuihong into his seat, he suddenly didn't know what to do with Han Lin who was still bowing, saying something? Don't know! Go help them? Not possible! Too casual...

  Finally, he reluctantly raised his hand and said, "Miss, you don't have to stand either, please sit down!" After they all sat down, the three people in the hall fell into an awkward silence. Fortunately, when a servant came to refill Lord Han's tea, the atmosphere became slightly more lively. (During the late Sui dynasty, tea was not yet popular; it wasn't until Lu Yu's "The Classic of Tea" was published during the prosperous Tang dynasty that tea truly began to flourish.)

  When the atmosphere was not so embarrassing, Xin Qi hastily raised his head to look at Li Yuanba sitting in Li Jiancheng's original seat. He secretly praised him: Wearing a black tight-fitting outfit from a different era, he looked extraordinary; The legendary "ghost face" seemed to be describing someone else, with a clear and angular face that was very heroic, and also not stupid at all!

  No wonder they say rumors are unreliable! Han Niu Hong looked at his daughter who was kneeling down, then looked at Li San Gongzi sitting above, and nodded in agreement. He cupped his hands to introduce: "Third Master, this is my daughter Han Lin, thank you for not rejecting her. I still have urgent matters to attend to, please don't mind!" Having said that, Han Niu Hong basically agreed to the marriage. He stood up, took a deep look at his daughter who was lowering her head in silence, let out a complex sigh, and left! But he didn't think about whether Third Master would look down on his own daughter, for a simple reason: his own daughter had indeed found a good husband's family!

  Han Lin lowered her head, not daring to look at the so-called Third Young Master. Making a decision was one thing, but seeing the real person was another! This Third Young Master seemed to be a bit abnormal, his way of speaking and treating people was even worse than that of a child! What kind of appearance did this person have? Was it really as rumored? With complex thoughts swirling in her mind, she heard her father's resigned tone and felt a surge of grievance well up in her eyes!

  "Father, is daughter really being given to this cruel and inhumane Third Master like this?" Han Lin's entire body exuded a sense of desperation as she raised her elegant neck, which had been bowed since entering the hall. "Ah?!" As soon as she lifted her head and saw Third Master looking at her with an appraising gaze, Han Lin was so shocked that she forgot to maintain a respectful demeanor, covering her small mouth with one hand while pointing at Li Yuanba with the other, her round eyes wide with astonishment and incredulity.

  Li Yuanba turned his attention to Han Lin, who was sitting quietly after Han Niuhong walked out. Her whole body exuded an aura that evoked sympathy and love, with a strand of hair covering her pale profile, and her slender fingers intertwined as if revealing the contradictions in her heart; her pale face and the aura of death emanating from her entire body were heart-wrenching!

  Li Yuanba was about to say something, but was startled by Han Lin's sudden raised head and postmodern standard moe action... The incredulity in her eyes left Li Yuanba bewildered, scratching his head and touching the corner of his mouth, muttering: "Is there something on my face?" Then he thought of something and used his sleeve to vigorously wipe under his nose, because this kid loved picking his nose and often brought out boogers without realizing it...

  Looking at the third young master in front of her, Han Lin was shocked and then couldn't help but laugh at his next move. With great difficulty, she managed to stop laughing, only to look at Li Yuanba's nose being rubbed bright red, and she couldn't help it again, bursting into a series of silvery laughter... After all, she was only 15 years old, no matter how mature she was, she couldn't escape her girly nature!

  Li Yuanba was stunned by the beautiful girl in front of him, who was swaying like a lotus flower. "You, you... what do you mean?" At first, she was quiet to the point of being heartbroken, but suddenly changed to laughing uncontrollably, which was simply too torturous!

  It's worth noting that Li Yuanba's current demeanor is almost close to the standard of coolness defined by later generations, which once again suppresses the introverted nature of otaku, and that appearance is a true representation of masculinity! But that gesture of scratching his head, wiping the corner of his mouth, and violently abusing his nose has a kind of inexplicable cute expression, even more humorous than dark humor...

  Li Yuanba was about to go crazy, this beautiful girl laughed so hard that she squatted on the ground, covering her belly with one hand and her mouth with the other, but couldn't stop laughing! Li Yuanba was really afraid that his future wife would laugh herself to death. As an otaku, he had seen many online beauties, but he had never seen such a pure and beautiful woman! Most online beauties were either pretending to be cute or silly, let alone the heavy makeup they wore, how could they compare to this ancient beauty?! The difference was like heaven and earth! And this ugly otaku from his past life was trapped in the girl's laughter...

  Li Jiancheng didn't dare to leave, so he waited for news at the corner. Seeing Han Niuhong walking out quickly and quietly coming to the back of the door to see what was going on next, but unexpectedly, a girl's uncontrollable laughter came from inside, and he pushed the door and walked in with a puzzled expression.

  Li Yuanba was at his wit's end, but he couldn't bear to see Han Lin laugh like this anymore. With a helpless and innocent expression, he carefully walked up to Han Lin and patted her back, still wondering if there was something dirty on his face. As he patted her, he vigorously wiped his own face with his sleeve. His puzzled mind thought: "I've been wiping for so long, I should be free of boogers by now, right?"

  He turned around and saw his older brother walking in, also with a puzzled expression.

  A savior has arrived! Li Yuanba hastily asked his older brother: "Older brother, you've come just in time! Look at my face, is there something dirty on it? Could it be that I didn't wipe my nose clean? I washed my face thoroughly when I came, so it shouldn't be... and I didn't pick my nose on the way here either!"

  Li Jiancheng was taken aback by the kid's question: "Huh?" He was puzzled and added another sentence: "Do you have boogers?" Li Yuanba automatically omitted his big brother's questioning tone: "Really do!" He frantically wiped his sleeves with both hands!

  Li Jiancheng stared blankly at his third brother, who was frantically wiping under and around his nose. He muttered to himself in a daze: "Boogers..." Suddenly, an overwhelming urge to burst out laughing surged up: "Boo...gers!?" He turned his head and rushed out, "Hahahahaha..."

  Li Jiancheng's loud laughter suddenly stopped Han Lin's smile, and with great difficulty, she turned her head and asked Li Yuanba in a breathless tone: "Is... isn't... the young master coming over?" Li Yuanba grasped his sleeves on either side of his nose and muttered: "Mm! He's gone again! But what's so funny about picking one's nose?!" Han Lin almost fainted from laughter.

  Han Lin smiled and replied with a hint of shyness, "I should be going back, I hope to hear from you soon."

  Back in the mansion, Li Yuanba was so excited! Fourth sister Li Xiuning asked about this matter, and Li Yuanba swung his long hair with a domineering air: "Nonsense! When I make my move, what can't be done? She said to wait for my news, and I'll go on a date with her tomorrow! How's that? Not right?" Seeing Li Xiuning's face full of disdain, Li Yuanba was somewhat bewildered.

  "You said you were waiting for my message, and tomorrow you'll go on a date with someone else? Do you know what the message I was talking about means?" Li Xiuning was so angry she could have slapped him to death. Did he think she was a prostitute or something?

  Even otakus can be quick-witted! After Si Mei said that, he also reacted. A sense of emptiness hit him: "Right! It's not like it was back then!" Now waiting for news is about going on dates to eat and watch movies, but this is ancient times! You need a matchmaker to go, not the person themselves, or else it would make the man seem frivolous and disrespectful!

  Han Lin returned home and saw her father, who asked her: "Hmm, don't worry, Father, the third young master is a good person and didn't make things difficult for me!" Han Niu Hong's heart felt at ease, this was great! Overjoyed, he also jokingly teased his daughter: "This father can rest assured now, but if rumors were true, you would have missed out!" Han Lin playfully scolded: "Father!!! I won't listen to you!" In her heart, she was delighted, but also a bit disappointed. The reason was simple - this third young master didn't have much of a demeanor, just a bit rough around the edges! Who pats someone's back as soon as they meet? It seemed like his speech was quite crude and lacking in refinement... Ah, it was good that he was like this! Her nose started to itch again, and her stomach began to ache slightly once more.

  This matchmaking was originally intended to be discussed with his father, but Li Yuan entrusted the matter to Li Jiancheng to handle. When the time came, he would just notify him! So, Li Yuan went to his elder brother's mansion more frequently! After a series of trivial matters, the wedding date was finally set: next year, March 3rd is a good day!

  Li Yuanba, due to his own appearance issues being resolved, has become a familiar figure on the streets every day... His majestic and powerful aura shocks people into staring in awe, but after a while, it just becomes a topic of conversation, and people get used to it!
