After this happened, the banquet naturally could not continue.
After Mrs. Wu apologized to everyone, she asked the housekeeper and Kristy Wu and her siblings to see the guests off, and then she went to mediate between the Luo and Li families.
At the gate of General Zhongwu's mansion, the housekeeper and the Wu brothers and sisters apologized to the guests while taking out the mooncake gift boxes they had prepared in advance and giving them to them.
After saying goodbye to everyone at the door, Tian An got into his own carriage.
Before leaving, she saw Qin Yalan being personally sent back by her siblings, Wu Yufei and Wu Hongjing.
From this point of view, Qin Yalan and Wu Hongjing should be safe.
Changming Lane, Qin family.
Wu Hongjing and Wu Yufei successfully sent Qin Yalan there.
Seeing her brother's face flushed red, his mouth opened and closed, but he didn't say anything, Wu Yufei could only shamelessly say: "I've been walking for so long, I'm a little thirsty, can we go to Sister Ya Lan's house and ask for a cup of tea?"
Qin Yalan nodded with a red face.
While he was lingering at the door, the doorman had already informed Mr. Qin that Qin Yalan had invited her friends home.
Master Qin knew roughly about his daughter's affairs. He understood what was going on and immediately ordered people to prepare tea and snacks.
In the hall, Wu Hongjing met Master Qin with a humble look on his face, and asked the servant to bring a generous holiday gift from the carriage.
Although Mr. Qin appears to be meticulous on the surface, he is actually quite nervous inside because the general's family is much more prestigious than theirs.
He was really worried that the other party would look down on their family because of Qiao, which would embarrass and make his daughter sad.
Seeing that Wu Hongjing was humble and thoughtful, and there was no contempt in his eyes, Mr. Qin finally felt relieved.
Seeing that her third brother was still very helpful at the critical moment, Wu Yufei also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had left a good first impression on Uncle Qin.
Wu Yufei gave her brother a look. Wu Hongjing took a deep breath and began to tactfully express his feelings for Qin Yalan to Mr. Qin and ask for his approval.
Ever since he knew that his daughter was close to the Wu family, Mr. Qin had privately inquired about the Wu family.
The Wu family has always had a good reputation in the capital, and as a long-established family, they also have an ancestral precept of not taking concubines. The third son of the Wu family is also a first-class person of character and talent.
Now that he saw her in person again, he found that she was indeed a very good boy as he had inquired about, and he was sincerely happy for his daughter.
However, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Although the Wu family is a good family, as a hero on horseback, people always worry about them.
He had mentioned this issue to his daughter in a subtle way, but his daughter told him: "If that day ever comes, I will live well for him as well."
She knew her own daughter well. Although she looked weak, she was actually strong at heart. Since she said that, she must have been prepared for the worst.
Mr. Qin didn't give Wu Hongjing too much trouble and relented. The two families set a date for the marriage proposal, and the brother and sister had dinner at the Qin family before returning home.
Qin Yalan's face was red throughout the whole process, and she slowly took off her makeup after the Qin brother and sister left.
After the Wu brothers and sisters left, Master Qin asked Qin Yalan to follow him to his study.
Then he took out a box and handed it to her, "These are all the money Dad has saved over the years. There are banknotes, shops, and land. These are the dowry Dad prepared for you. And there are also those things in the warehouse."
Then he handed her another key and said, "Go and take a look yourself when you have time. If there is anything missing, please fill it in as soon as possible. If there is anything you are unsure about, please ask your friends for advice. They are knowledgeable and experienced, and they are girls, so they can be more thoughtful than Dad would think.
We also need to prepare the wedding dress quickly. Madam Wu is always at the border and won't be in the capital for long. I guess you and Hongjing's wedding will be a bit rushed."
After thinking for a while, he said, "But Hongjing's two brothers are not engaged yet. If we calculate according to the order of seniority, we will probably have to wait a little longer. There is still time..."
Qin Yalan just watched Master Qin muttering on and on, her eyes becoming redder and redder.
…
After Zhao Yiming sent Tian An home, he drove out again in his carriage. Tian An knew that he was probably busy with the silver mirror and the glazed window.
Tian An's steps became much lighter when he thought about the more money the Liuli Factory would get after the glass windows and silver mirrors were put on the market.
The next day is Mid-Autumn Festival.
Just after breakfast, Duke Anguo and his wife came to visit with their three children.
Tian An then remembered that Lady Anguo had said yesterday that she wanted to take her in as her goddaughter. Tian Mingwu came home late yesterday, so she had forgotten about it and hadn't told him yet!
So when Mrs. An mentioned this, he was completely confused.
Tian An explained awkwardly, "My father came home late yesterday and I forgot to tell him."
Madam An waved her hand. "General Tian is busy, so it's the same now."
After saying this, he looked at him expectantly and said, "I wonder if General Tian would agree to this."
Tian Mingwu said somewhat displeasedly, "Why do you suddenly want to adopt my daughter as your goddaughter? You already have three children, and that's not enough!"
Duke Anguo took over the conversation and said, "It's not sudden. We have had this idea since An An saved my Kun'er last time.
The biggest regret my wife and I have had over the years is that we didn’t have a daughter, unlike General Tian who has both a son and a daughter, which is a perfect combination.
An An is destined to be with our family, so we want to use this method to fulfill our wish, and we hope General Tian will help us."
Tian Mingwu's mouth twitched. Humph! So this was all planned! She was blatantly trying to get his daughter, and she even wanted him to agree. How could this be possible?
He hadn't even had enough of his daughter! These people were all trying to snatch her away. It was fine if it was just Zhao Yiming, but now a whole family had come. What kind of a deal was this?
Seeing Tian Mingwu's unhappy expression, before he could say anything to refuse, Madam An hurriedly said: "General Tian, I heard An An say that her mother passed away early, and it is always inconvenient for you men to take care of your daughter.
Besides, you are usually very busy with official duties, so you probably don’t have much time to spend with your children!
If I could get An An to recognize me as her godmother, I could teach her a lot of trivial matters, give her advice, and even talk to her about her daughter's worries. It would be better than letting her figure it out on her own and work so hard! "
The words of refusal rose to Tian Mingwu's throat, but he couldn't say them.
An An's mother is gone. Although he can't remember anything about that woman, he has done her wrong after all, so he has no plans to remarry in this life.
It would be nice if we could find a godmother for An An, so that there would be someone to love and take care of her, and let her experience life with a mother.
Tian Mingwu finally agreed.
Mrs. An was so happy that she said she would hold a grand banquet to introduce her daughter to all the ladies and nobles.
Tian An quickly stopped him, "Our family can just set up two tables at home to celebrate. It's too troublesome to set up a banquet."
She has a dark shadow over the banquet. She attended two banquets and both times something went wrong.
