Chapter 434 Doctor Qian: "Young Madam, I'll leave her in your care."
"Yingqing left in a hurry and didn't even have breakfast." Chu Yueshu was a little worried.
"Don't worry, they will have their meal outside." Chu Ruohan comforted her, "What you need to do now is take good care of the baby and don't worry about anything else."
Chu Yueshu nodded and reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls of porridge: "I know, sister."
As soon as the two finished breakfast, Doctor Qian came over.
Doctor Qian bowed to the two of them and said, "Madam, Second Miss. I came here today to ask for your help."
Seeing that he looked a little embarrassed, Chu Ruohan signaled Yuling and the other maids to leave.
"Please tell me, Doctor Qian, if I can help, I will do my best."
Doctor Qian took a deep breath, a blush spreading across his face. “To be honest, I want to propose to Miss Song.”
Chu Ruohan and Chu Yueshu looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"That's good news." Chu Ruohan smiled. "Song Ruyan is straightforward and has good medical skills. She's a perfect match for Doctor Qian."
Doctor Qian rubbed his hands, looking increasingly embarrassed. "But, there's no one left at home, and no elders to make the decision. I really don't know what to do about this marriage proposal."
He raised his head, his eyes full of earnestness: "I wonder if Madam could do me a favor and arrange this marriage for me?"
Chu Ruohan nodded and said, "What's so difficult about this? Doctor Qian has saved many people in my family before. It's such a small matter, I'm naturally happy to help."
Doctor Qian looked delighted and thanked him repeatedly.
"Where is Song Ruyan now?" Chu Ruohan asked.
"She is practicing martial arts in her own yard." Doctor Qian replied.
Chu Ruohan thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll go talk to Song Ruyan first and find out what she thinks. Although she expressed her feelings last time, I still have to be cautious when formally proposing marriage."
Doctor Qian nodded and took out a bundle from his arms: "This is my savings over the years. When my family was killed, I was only concerned about escaping and didn't bring anything with me. I don't know what kind of engagement gift to give."
Chu Ruohan quickly waved her hands: "Doctor Qian, this is not urgent. Let me talk to Song Ruyan first, and then we can discuss other matters."
"Yes, madam, you are right." Doctor Qian put the bundle back into his arms and asked nervously, "Then, madam, do you think there is hope for me?"
Chu Yueshu couldn't help laughing. "Doctor Qian, don't you know Song Ruyan yet? She said she wanted to marry you last time. What are you worried about?"
Doctor Qian's face flushed. "Second Miss is right. However, I dare not neglect such an important matter as this one."
Chu Ruohan stood up and said, "Don't worry, Doctor Qian, I will definitely help you with this."
"Thank you, ma'am." Doctor Qian bowed deeply.
After seeing Doctor Qian off, Chu Yueshu couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect Doctor Qian to be so timid. Even though Song Ruyan had already expressed her stance, he was still so nervous."
Chu Ruohan smiled and said, "Doctor Qian values Song Ruyan very much. It's not easy to meet such a good man."
Chu Yueshu looked at her sister meaningfully, "Doctor Qian is indeed a good man, but Song Ruyan, please don't bully her."
Chu Ruohan patted her lightly: "Naughty."
"Sister, how do you plan to help Dr. Qian?" Chu Yueshu asked curiously.
Chu Ruohan thought for a moment: "Song Ruyan has no parents, so it stands to reason that her master should make the decision. But I heard that her master has already gone on a journey and cannot be contacted."
"How about letting my brother-in-law take charge?" Chu Yueshu suggested, "Doctor Qian is also my brother-in-law's retainer."
Chu Ruohan nodded: "That's an idea. But your brother-in-law is busy with court affairs right now, so I'm afraid he can't spare the time to think about it."
"Then let me make the decision," Chu Yueshu said. "Song Ruyan and I get along well, so it's most appropriate for me to make the arrangements."
Chu Ruohan nodded slightly and called Yuling: "Go and ask Ruyan to come over."
Yuling responded and left, and soon came back with Song Ruyan.
Song Ruyan strode in and asked, "Madam, what do you want from me? Do you want to fight?
Chu Ruohan rolled her eyes at her and said, "Doctor Qian is interested in proposing marriage to you and has come to ask for my opinion."
Song Ruyan's eyes lit up, then she returned to normal: "Propose marriage? I told him a few days ago, just get married. We'll have a child next year, why bother with so much trouble?"
Chu Ruohan shook her head helplessly: "Ruyan, marriage is a major event in life, and it is natural to follow the rules. Doctor Qian has no relatives at home, and he wants me to help arrange this marriage."
"Then please help me." Song Ruyan said readily, "Whatever you say, I'll do it. I'll listen to you."
"Do you really want to marry Doctor Qian?" Chu Ruohan asked seriously, "Marriage is no joke. It's a lifelong commitment."
Song Ruyan nodded without hesitation: "Of course. He's a good man, a good doctor, and he's good to me, so why shouldn't I marry him?"
Chu Yueshu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ruyan, you are really direct."
Song Ruyan glanced at her and said, "It's such a waste of time to beat around the bush. I like him, he likes me, so let's just get married."
Chu Ruohan smiled secretly in her heart. Song Ruyan's character was in sharp contrast to Doctor Qian's cautious and polite appearance.
"Well, since you're willing, I'll arrange this marriage for you," Chu Ruohan said. "You don't have any parents or teachers here, so Jun Ze and I should be the ones to make the decision. Do you have any objections?"
"No, it's all up to Madam." Song Ruyan said simply, and then added, "But those red tape can be avoided if possible. I just want to get married quickly."
Chu Ruohan smiled and said, "A girl is not reserved at all. She should show proper etiquette. This is a respect for you and for Doctor Qian."
Song Ruyan curled her lips, but still nodded: "Okay, don't delay too long."
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Chu Ruohan responded, "I'll choose an auspicious date before the New Year to arrange your marriage."
"Thank you, Madam." Song Ruyan stood up, bowed, and then asked, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll go back to practice. The weather's getting cold, and Lan Jie'er and Lu Ge'er haven't been here these past few days. They haven't been working hard at all... They're much lazier than when I was learning martial arts."
Chu Ruohan: "The weather is cold, and the children can't help it."
Song Ruyan turned around and left neatly with a brisk pace, obviously in a good mood.
"Sister, Song Ruyan is such an interesting person." Chu Yueshu said with a smile, "She is so direct in what she says and does."
Chu Ruohan also smiled: "Yes, but this kind of personality is also good, open and honest, without so many twists and turns. Doctor Qian's personality is introverted, which is a perfect complement."
"Sister, how do you plan to arrange their marriage?" Chu Yueshu asked curiously.
Chu Ruohan thought for a moment: "Doctor Qian is a respectable man. Although his family has fallen on hard times, he still has to be polite. Although Song Ruyan is straightforward, she is also a girl. She must not be wronged."
"I thought that Junze should first formally propose to Song Ruyan, then choose a date to propose, and then choose an auspicious day for the wedding. There are still a few empty small courtyards in the mansion that can be cleaned up and used as their new home."
She looked out the window, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
In this troubled time, it's nice to have a happy event...
