Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1636 - 834: Delusions

Hearing Si Lang say he took two days off, both Lian Shouxin and Lady Zhang in the outer room were surprised, and even Lian Manman in the inner room was shocked. Si Lang was taking two days off, what was he planning to do?

"Uncle, here’s the thing." Si Lang explained to Lian Shouxin, "Someone from our village came to the county town just now and brought me a message. They said my grandpa arranged a match for me back home, and I should hurry back to meet her."

Old Master Lian found a matchmaker from Qingyang Town, paid her, and asked her to find a marriage match for Si Lang. There had been no news for a while, but now they finally found someone, which was good news, and Lian Shouxin was pleased too.

"This is a legitimate matter." Lian Shouxin nodded, "Did you make it clear to the shop, and did they give you leave?"

"I made it clear, and the shopkeeper also said it’s a big deal and told me if two days aren’t enough, I could take an extra one or two days." Si Lang said. "Uncle, when are you and Aunt going home?"

"We’ll be leaving in a little while." Lian Shouxin said.

"Uncle, then I’ll go back with you." Si Lang quickly said.

"Alright, you can come back with me by cart in a while." Lian Shouxin agreed.

After talking for a bit more in the outer room, Lian Shouxin took Si Lang outside. Lady Zhang pulled aside the door curtain and walked back to the inner room to continue helping Lian Manman pack.

"...No wonder he looked so cheerful when he came in, it turns out Old Master arranged a match for him." Lady Zhang chatted with Lian Manman while tidying up.

"Si Lang is at the age to talk about marriage. If he waits two more years, he’ll be delayed like Erlang... It’s good to settle down, have someone to manage him, and have a goal in life; maybe he’ll learn some sense."

"Mom, didn’t dad just praise him for having potential? What do you think, Mom?" Lian Manman asked.

"...Learning to greet people properly is already progress compared to before." Lady Zhang replied, "But... when he first came in, he was standing and sitting properly. But as I watched him for a while, he started slouching, just like at home, leaning his body, spreading his legs far apart..."

"At least having that initial posture is better than before!"

Lian Manman chuckled; neither Lian Shouxin nor Lady Zhang seemed to have high expectations for Si Lang.

"Mom, what kind of wife do you think grandpa will find for Si Lang this time?" Lian Manman asked Lady Zhang.

"I really don’t know." Lady Zhang shook her head, "Didn’t you hear your dad ask earlier? Si Lang doesn’t know either. The old master just sent a message saying to go and see her; he didn’t mention the details... We’ll know when we go back."

Lian Manman nodded and didn’t ask any more questions, while Lady Zhang began to reminisce.

"...Younger than your sister. When I married into the family, he wasn’t even born yet, and in a blink of an eye, he’s ready to talk about marriage..."

The family finished packing and took a carriage away from Willow Tree Well Alley, leaving Jinyang County Town towards Thirty Mile Camp. Lady Zhang and Lian Manman shared a carriage because Si Lang wanted to ride with Lian Shouxin, so Xiao Qi came over to join them.

Wu Lang initially planned to share a carriage with Lian Shouxin but changed his mind at the last minute and decided to ride a horse. It was a sunny day, warmer than usual due to the sun, and the journey from Jinyang County Town to Thirty Mile Camp headed south, away from the wind, so Lady Zhang didn’t stop him.

Lian Manman didn’t say anything; she understood that Wu Lang disliked Si Lang and didn’t want to sit in the same carriage with him.

Shortly after leaving Jinyang County Town, as Lian Manman was talking with Lady Zhang and Xiao Qi in the carriage, they suddenly heard the carriage behind them stop.

"What’s going on?" Lian Manman didn’t lift the curtain, just knocked on the carriage wall and asked outside, "What happened to the carriage behind?"

"Miss, there’s nothing wrong with the carriage." A servant quickly replied, "It’s Fourth Master from the old house who told the master he wants to get off and ride a mule like the young master."

Lian Manman made an ’oh’ sound and looked at Lady Zhang and Xiao Qi.

"We just praised his potential, sigh." Lady Zhang shook her head and sighed.

"He always wants to follow my brother in everything!" Xiao Qi said discontentedly.

"He doesn’t want to learn in everything." Lian Manman said, "He won’t learn when our brother works hard studying or working in the field. Anything hard or tiring, he doesn’t want to learn. He just wants to follow the glamorous and pleasant things our brother does."

"That’s exactly it." Lady Zhang nodded, "Si Lang is just like Jizu, all so superficial."
