However, after investigation, it was found that some were engaged, but broke off the engagement after hearing that they could discuss marriage with the General's Mansion, while others simply concealed it.
So after much deliberation, there was only one person she could meet. But as soon as Wan Ge met him, she sensed that he probably already had someone else in his heart, which was why she didn't like him.
If things continued like this, she didn't know when she could get engaged. Now that she was back, she really couldn't delay any longer. So Wan Ge thought of Jun Yuchen.
After the two became friends based on their shared understanding, in addition to their opinions on things, they naturally also discussed some life matters, including marriage.
At that time, the other party was not engaged. Now that she has returned, Wan Ge has inquired a little and found out that the other party is also not engaged.
Now that she has received his personal confirmation, Wange still trusts him, so she made this request.
“But I…” Jun Yuchen instinctively wanted to refuse. He had feelings for Wan Ge, and in terms of looks, Wan Ge was undoubtedly the most outstanding.
In terms of wealth, few people besides the princess can surpass her, and Jun Yuchen doesn't reject military families at all; it's precisely because of those military men that he has been able to live such a stable life. Therefore, he actually has some affection for girls from military families.
In terms of talent, learning, character, and appearance, and having corresponded with the other person for so long, no one can match their knowledge or calligraphy. The other person undoubtedly possesses the best qualities.
However, on the one hand, he didn't like her and only regarded her as a friend. On the other hand, his status made him keep backing away. He had never told the person he liked, let alone gotten engaged to Wan Ge.
Seeing that he seemed about to refuse, Wan Ge immediately said, "It's just an engagement for now. If you're not willing, we can stop talking about marriage. If you have a girl you like, we can also break off the engagement."
Wan Ge didn't really have much of an opinion on this matter. Although women in this era were destined to get married, Wan Ge didn't really feel anything about it.
Jun Yuchen was still thinking, pondering what she had said.
Wan Ge continued, "I'm sure many people have wanted to get engaged to you since you went to high school, right? Getting engaged to you is the best option."
If she were to get engaged to just anyone, even the emperor might not believe it, and there would be a lot of trouble.
Jun Yuchen was born into a distinguished family and is now a rising star in the court. His appearance and talent are both amazing, so it's normal for a young girl like her to like him.
For Jun Yuchen, the existence of the General's Mansion could reduce a lot of trouble for him, and Wan Ge was known as the number one talented woman, which sounded like a good match for him, the number one talented man.
"Don't worry, I will never interfere in your private affairs."
"I...let me think about it." Jun Yuchen's last words moved him, and the engagement would indeed save him a lot of trouble.
He also knew that Wan Ge wasn't trying to help him out of kindness, but simply had the same need.
"Alright, then I'll wait for Brother Ziqian's good news. I've been out for too long, so I need to go back now."
"Why don't you try the dishes at Fengyulou?"
"Maybe next time." Wan Ge bowed and left.
…
…
That evening, Jun Yuchen entered his father's study and, seeing his father writing a memorial, said, "The eldest daughter of the General's Mansion wants to get engaged to me."
Lord Jun, who was writing a letter, was startled and dropped his pen, which pierced the entire sheet of paper.
Jun Muchen, who was standing to the side holding a book, also dropped the book to the ground.
"What did you say?" Lord Jun looked up at his son in disbelief.
If they were to discuss marriage, wouldn't they send someone to scout out the situation first? How could I not know?
Jun Yuchen then spoke to his father, saying, "If Miss Deng had corresponded with me before, I always thought she was a man. I only considered her a friend, but she recognized me a long time ago. When I met her today, she asked for my opinion."
Will my father interfere with arranging my marriage? Miss Deng said she wouldn't interfere in my life. Right now, she just wants to get engaged first.
Although he didn't like Wan Ge, he had never thought about getting engaged before, so now that he thought about it, it wasn't impossible.
"Your father originally planned to arrange a marriage for you after you had established yourself in the court. But given the current situation, you really need a marriage. What is your opinion?"
“I think it’s okay,” Jun Yuchen replied to what his father had said.
After saying that, he turned back to look at his younger brother who was bending down to pick up the books: "What do you think, Amu?"
The other party meant that they probably wouldn't investigate his family background, and shouldn't be able to find anything about Amu.
Jun Muchen remained expressionless. He nodded when his brother asked that question, but the book in his hand was almost crumpled from gripping it so tightly.
"Then I'll reply to her." After receiving permission from his father and younger brother, Jun Yuchen felt it was feasible.
"I have something to attend to, so I'll head back first." Jun Muchen put down the book in his hand.
"Wait!" Lord Jun said, "Remember not to go out casually again, otherwise, I really will send you away."
"Understood." Jun Muchen left the study without looking back.
…
After taking a shower, I returned to the bedside. I don't know why, but I felt extremely sleepy, so I lay down and fell asleep immediately.
Not long after she fell asleep, a man appeared at her bedside.
Jun Muchen looked at the sleeping woman and touched her face with his fingertips: "Why? My brother and I look exactly alike, why did you choose him?"
