Zeng Dazhuang nodded and said, "Hmm, don't worry, I will treat this child well." It's just an extra pair of chopsticks at home, he can afford it.
Tingyuan coughed and then asked, "My sister also said, you promised that after marrying her, you wouldn't take concubines, is that true?"
Zeng Dazhuang laughed and said, "Of course it's true. A real man stands by his word. If not, what kind of man would he be?"
Tingyuan frowned at this coarse remark, thinking that such a crude person wasn't suitable for his sister at all. But there was no way around it; his sister didn't like Lord Yu from the Hanlin Academy and fancied this rugged man instead. Tingyuan thought that since Yuehuan had already agreed, he couldn't very well embarrass Zeng Dazhuang too much: "Fine, I'll believe you for now." This matter depends on actions, not words.
