Chapter 479 Stimulated

Yu Chuan and Chan'er's marriage was arranged, and it was set for the fifth day of the sixth lunar month.

Yu Chuan was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. The next day, he shared the good news with his brothers: "On the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, Chan'er and I will get married. I'm letting you know in advance so you have time to prepare your gifts."

Zhou Yun: "?"

Fang Xuan: "?"

Fang Ce: "?"

Wait, didn't Yu Chuan get beaten up again before the Lunar New Year? How come he and Chan'er are already setting their wedding date just a few days later?

It's unbelievable that a few inexperienced strategists could actually arrange a marriage with their commands, but why do they seem a little melancholy?

Originally, none of the brothers had wives, but now the youngest, Yu Chuan, has a wedding date set, while they are still single. Perhaps a year from now, when they are preparing a full-month celebration gift for Yu Chuan's child, they will still be single.

Seeing their collective silence, Yu Chuan asked in confusion, "Why aren't you all saying anything?"

Zhou Yun retorted, "I remember Chan'er just fought with you a few days ago and beat you so badly you were screaming. How come you're suddenly getting married?"

When this was mentioned, Yu Chuan became very proud and said, "She hit me because she cares about me and treats me differently. She has never hit any of you."

Upon hearing this, the three looked at him with mixed feelings, feeling that he was somewhat mentally unstable, perhaps because he had been beaten too many times and had become stupid, yet he was still proud of being beaten.

Yu Chuan frowned slightly: "What kind of looks are those?"

Zhou Yun shook his head: "No, it's nothing. Congratulations on winning the heart of your beauty."

Yu Chuan said, "You older brothers should also try your best to find me a sister-in-law as soon as possible. Don't wait until your nephews are born before I have a sister-in-law." He paused for a moment, then added, "I won't talk to you anymore. I didn't sleep at all last night. I was carving wooden puppets. They're not finished yet. I need to finish them while I have some free time so I can give them to Chan'er on the Lantern Festival."

Fang Ce laughed and said, "What day of the month is it? It's still a long way from the Lantern Festival, what's the rush?"

Yu Chuan smiled, glanced at them, and said in a pretentious tone, "You don't have fiancées, so you don't understand how I feel right now. You'll understand when you have fiancées."

Zhou Yun: "..."

Fang Xuan: "..."

Fang Ce: "..."

These words sounded familiar, as if I had heard something similar before, but I couldn't quite place them.

After Yu Chuan left, Zhou Yun and the others were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Zhou Yun said, "I really didn't expect that Yu Chuan, that silly boy, could win the heart of a beauty by just getting beaten up."

Fang Ce was confused: "So what are you trying to say?"

Zhou Yun replied, "Shouldn't we reflect on why we are still single even though we are older than him? Others our age are already fathers."

Fang Xuan: "?"

Fang Ce: "?"

Does this even need to be reflected upon?

The answer is that Yu Chuan has someone he likes and is taking action to pursue her sincerely.

And what about them?

They didn't even have a sweetheart, and they had no one to take action against. In addition, they didn't know many girls. The only girl they had contact with was Chan'er, but they had no romantic feelings for her.

A moment later, Fang Ce put his arm around Zhou Yun's shoulder, saw his melancholy face, and comforted him with a smile: "You're alright, you've only just turned twenty this year. My brother and I are twenty-three this year, even older, and we're still unmarried, aren't we? So you don't need to worry, if anyone should be worried, it's us who should be worried first."

Zhou Yun glanced at Fang Xuan standing to the side and said, "At least you have a relative, a twin brother who has been with you since you were in the womb. I'm all alone." After saying that, he put the hand off his shoulder and walked out.

Fang Ce looked completely bewildered: "Zhou Yun, where are you going?"

Zhou Yun replied, "I will go to the Marquis and ask him to find me a marriage partner."

Fang Ce disagreed, saying, "We can find them ourselves. Why bother the Marquis with such a thing?"

Zhou Yun paused, turned to look at Fang Ce, and asked, "If we could find wives on our own, why would we still be single at this age?" After saying that, he started walking again.

Fang Ce: "..."

Fang Xuan: "..."

That seems to make a lot of sense. Judging from Zhou Yun's reaction, it seems that Yu Chuan has really provoked him. Just a few days ago, Zhou Yun said he wasn't in a hurry to get married and would let things take their course, but now he's getting anxious and has even gone to the Marquis to find a suitable marriage partner.

Fang Ce gazed thoughtfully at Zhou Yun's retreating figure and said, "Brother, I think we should also go find the Marquis. We're at an age where we should settle down and start families."

He had barely finished speaking when he saw his usually composed elder brother silently take the first step and walk out, seemingly also heading to find the Marquis.

Fang Ce: "..."

Everyone said there was no rush before, but why is everyone suddenly in a hurry now?

Gu Jingxi was just about to go to his friend's house when he was suddenly summoned by his three trusted followers. Thinking that something urgent had happened, he called them to his study for a talk.

Gu Jingxi asked, "What do you want?"

Fang Ce didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "My lord, we want to get married."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingxi was surprised: "You two also have someone you like?"

The three of them shook their heads in unison, indicating that they did not.

Gu Jingxi looked somewhat bewildered, then asked, "So what do you mean?"

Fang Ce replied honestly, "My lord, we just don't have anyone we like, and the marriage is nowhere in sight, which is why we came to you."

Gu Jingxi: "?"

He was quite puzzled: "If you want to get married, then go find a girl you like. Once you find one, I'll help you find a wife. Why are you coming to me now? I don't know how to find wives."

Fang Ce said, "My lord, why don't you look for someone else? Haven't you already found a wife?"

Gu Jingxi coughed twice, glanced at him, and said unhurriedly, "My wife contacted me." He then added, "When fate comes, you can't stop it."

Fang Ce: "..."

He hadn't remembered for a moment that it was indeed the lady who took the initiative to find the Marquis. The Marquis reluctantly married a wife. At his age, he had married a young and beautiful wife. He really got a great deal. Why didn't any girl take a liking to him at first sight and say she wanted to marry him?

After a moment, Fang Ce said, "My lord, if we could find him, we wouldn't still be all alone."

Gu Jingxi glanced at the attendants and laughed, "Then you've come to the wrong person. I don't even know many girls, how can I find you a marriage partner? If you are really interested in getting married, I'll mention it to Madam tonight and ask her to make arrangements for you."

The three men said in unison, "Thank you, Lord Marquis."
