Chapter 848: Killing Three Birds with One Stone

The next day at the Ministry of Revenue, everyone knew about the engagement of Zhou's eldest granddaughter, and they all congratulated Hu Xia upon the successful engagement.

Qiu Yan initially didn't believe the news until he personally verified with Zhou Shuren. With many doubts in his mind, he thought better than to pry; upon seeing the cheerful Zhou Shuren today, he smiled and asked, "Have you already set the wedding date?"

Zhou Shuren was grinning ear to ear, relieved of a weight on his heart, "My granddaughter is still young, we've just arranged the engagement, the wedding will be set when the girl comes of age."

Qiu Yan thought of Hu Xia's nephew, who was not much older; postponing the wedding would be good for focusing on the imperial examinations, "Congratulations."

Zhou Shuren accepted the congratulations with a smile, "Thank you."
