“What is there to understand? Aren’t matters of the heart always shrouded in mysticism?” Another member of the group, an old charlatan who knew a character or two, chimed in.
“Alright, okay. You can go back home now, Ji Yu. I’ll discuss this matter with that young master.” The village chief waved that chipper Ji Yu as she spoke.

Despite the speaker trailing off, all the other villagers knew what they intended to say. {“Who amongst them wouldn’t be better than that bum, Ji Yu?”} Those words blossomed in everyone’s minds, while some also saw the birth of aspirations.“You superficial lot! You’re all just superficial and narrow-minded!” The old trickster spat with a mouth lacking teeth and a face flushed in crimson.

“Did you two talk up that bum to the young master, by chance?” Someone else at the gathering interjected in a tone wholly confused.“It’s true! We spoke the truth and nothing else!” The other old woman defended.
“Did you two talk up that bum to the young master, by chance?” Someone else at the gathering interjected in a tone wholly confused.
“Really? He asked you two? Seriously?”“What? Are you serious? That’s impossible. All I spoke was the truth.”
“Really? He asked you two? Seriously?”
“Hahaha…”
“Thank you. I’ll be on my way, then.” Wearing a beaming smile, Ji Yu left the room.
“Hahaha…”
Ignoring the huffing old man, another member interjected, “Oi, I heard that young master is sickly!”“Fine, this great thing happened to Ji Yu because of good karma. But what I can’t wrap my head around is the young master’s tastes. I never expected them to be so unique. I can’t stomach that Ji Yu, yet he went and fell in love with him!”
Ignoring the huffing old man, another member interjected, “Oi, I heard that young master is sickly!”
“What? Are you serious? That’s impossible. All I spoke was the truth.”Truly, she did. Not only did she speak nothing but the truth, but she had even sprinkled in a few embellishments of Ji Yu’s description that would naturally defame Ji Yu.
“What? Are you serious? That’s impossible. All I spoke was the truth.”

“Goodness, is there green smoke coming from that boy’s ancestral tombs? What luck!” The village chief couldn’t help but exclaim as he stared at Ji Yu’s retreating.

“Thank you. I’ll be on my way, then.” Wearing a beaming smile, Ji Yu left the room.
During the current summer days, the villagers sat outside in groups of twos or threes, enjoying the gentle breeze. Children ran about, up to their usual mischief, and not even the light reprimands from their elders impeded their joy.
“Thank you. I’ll be on my way, then.” Wearing a beaming smile, Ji Yu left the room.
“Alright, okay. You can go back home now, Ji Yu. I’ll discuss this matter with that young master.” The village chief waved that chipper Ji Yu as she spoke.“It’s true! We spoke the truth and nothing else!” The other old woman defended.

Everyone burst into laughter hearing those words—everyone but the old bachelor.
The women of the village also kicked their feet up as they traded stories of their daily lives. So when news of Ji Yu’s situation was discovered, news of that lazy bum’s upcoming nuptials caused an uproar as it spread throughout the village in a flash.
Everyone burst into laughter hearing those words—everyone but the old bachelor.
“What? No. The one who wants Ji Yu to marry him is none other than the youngest son of our county’s magistrate! Young Master Cang!”“Yep. This is really happening. It’s the god’s honest truth.” The other elderly woman from that trip to the city chimed in from beside them.
“What? No. The one who wants Ji Yu to marry him is none other than the youngest son of our county’s magistrate! Young Master Cang!”

“Who? Who on earth is it? Who wants to marry that bum, Ji Yu? Are they blind?”

“He is? Why would he want to take in a bum as a wife if he is in poor health? What is he thinking?”Despite the speaker trailing off, all the other villagers knew what they intended to say. “Who amongst them wouldn’t be better than that bum, Ji Yu?” Those words blossomed in everyone’s minds, while some also saw the birth of aspirations.
“He is? Why would he want to take in a bum as a wife if he is in poor health? What is he thinking?”
“I haven’t the slightest idea. But, in short, a great accumulation of good karma is the only explanation for all this.”“He is? Why would he want to take in a bum as a wife if he is in poor health? What is he thinking?”

“Goodness, all of this is so strange, then. Just what kind of good karma had that boy’s ancestors accumulated? How great were their deeds to have such an opportunity be possible?”“It’s true! We spoke the truth and nothing else!” The other old woman defended.

As for the star of these conversations, he, of course, knew nothing of these discussions. At the very moment all the villagers were rushing home to plan out their schemes, he was lying under a tree and humming a tune in thanks for his exceptionally good mood.“Who? Who on earth is it?

If that young master can be enamoured by a bum like that, my daughter, who has just turned sixteen, is a beautiful girl. Her waist is slender and she can give birth, so if she appears before that young master, he just might…
