Chapter 171 The Master Comes to Offer a Marriage
Mo Yunzhu did not object, and the two began to discuss the people on the list and how to get them off.
There are thirty-two people in total. This is not a small task and it cannot be completed in a short time.
Fortunately, these people are the forces of several people, not just one person, so if something goes wrong, they can just fight each other.
After discussing for a long time, Mo Yunzhu ate a lot of snacks brought by Hao Jiang before returning to the general's mansion.
As soon as he got back, he saw Lan Yan waiting for him in the yard with a high-end-looking book in his hand.
"Master, you're back." Lan Yan said happily when he saw Mo Yunzhu coming back.
"Have you been here for a long time?" Mo Yunzhu asked.
"It's been more than an hour, Master, can you please help me check if these betrothal gifts are OK?" Lan Yan handed the book to Mo Yunzhu.
Mo Yunzhu was surprised and asked, "Dowry? Are you going to ask Qin Xin to marry you?"
"Yes, it's already the end of the first month of the lunar year. Didn't you say I was too anxious before? It's almost time now, Master. I must get Miss Qinxin. Otherwise, if I miss her, I don't know where I can find a wife in the future."
Mo Yunzhu chuckled and said, "Have you met Qin Xin in private?"
"Well, once, I took her sister to meet Master Ji. I felt that Miss Qin Xin also had a good impression of me. Moreover, Master Xu had already proposed to Lan Yingtao. I had to move faster to avoid someone saying bad things about Qin Xin and being rejected by the Xu family."
"I feel bad for you now." Mo Yunzhu smiled and sat down to look at the betrothal gifts. At first glance, she felt that Lan Yan was really a rich man. The things in these gifts were definitely not less than those of the Xu family.
There were also some treasures that she had never seen before.
"These are black pearls and Mabe pearls. I bought them when I went to other countries. I hope Qinxin will like them. Master, do you think my sincerity is enough? If not, I will buy some more."
"That's enough. If there's any more, others will be jealous." Mo Yunzhu smiled and shook her head.
"Then Master, can you help your disciple to propose marriage?" Lan Yan asked with his head tilted.
"Are you sure?" Mo Yunzhu thought that if Lan Yan wanted to find someone with a bigger reputation, he could ask the emperor for help. After all, Lan Yan was now the emperor's favorite.
If all else fails, Jun Huo Lan can be asked to help propose marriage. Although he is not a favored prince, he is still a royal family member and will definitely give face to Gu Qinxin.
"Master is the most suitable and best." Lan Yan immediately said sincerely.
Mo Yunzhu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll help you get the betrothal gift. When is the right time?"
"Tomorrow is an auspicious day. Everything needs to be prepared. We can set out in the morning." Lan Yan was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth.
Mo Yunzhu: “……!” This simply doesn’t give her a chance to refuse.
At night, Mo Yunzhu went directly to Gu's house. She had to talk to Gu Qinxin about her feelings first, so as not to let her apprentice make a fool of herself tomorrow.
Gu Qinxin didn't expect Mo Yunzhu to come to Gu's house at night, and she immediately took her to the private room happily.
Gu Wanwan also came over to join in the fun.
"Qin Xin, I came here tonight to confirm something, so you must answer honestly." Mo Yunzhu said after taking a bite of the honeydew melon.
Gu Qinxin nodded immediately and said, "You ask."
"Are you really willing to marry Lan Yan?"
Gu Qinxin was stunned, and then her pretty face turned red.
"Okay, I understand. It seems that you really like my apprentice. That's great." Mo Yunzhu knew it from the look on her face.
Gu Qinxin hesitated for a moment and said, "Yun Zhu, I don't know Lan Yan very well, but since he can be your apprentice, I believe you can't be wrong about him."
"Qinxin, you can't choose your husband like this. You have to like him. But Lan Yan really likes you very much." Mo Yunzhu said with a smile.
Gu Qinxin covered her mouth and smiled, "I, I can see that. How can it be so strange that he can recognize my face?"
"This is fate. I believe he will treat you well, but it mainly depends on whether you like him or not."
"I, I'm fine. His family is simple and he's pretty. I shouldn't suffer any loss if I marry him. Besides, if he treats me badly, I'll complain to you."
"That's possible. That's great. I was really worried that you were being beaten by him. I will feel relieved only if both of you are in love with each other." Mo Yunzhu was also happy.
Gu Wanwan pouted and said, "Sister Yunzhu, my sister talked to Lan Yan for a long time last time. That guy is really shameless. My sister must have been deceived by his sweet words."
"Wanwan, don't talk nonsense." Gu Qinxin's face turned redder. "If it were you, would you choose Xu Changyong or Lan Yan?"
Gu Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Then I would also choose Lan Yan. There are so many women in the Xu Mansion. I think it's not something that ordinary people can marry into and enjoy happiness. I hope Yingtao will have better luck in the future."
"Fortunately, they love each other, otherwise I would think I was the one who wanted to harm her." Gu Qinxin was a little amused.
"Okay, okay, Lan Yan is actually not bad. The main thing is that you like him." Gu Wanwan and her sister had naturally talked about this topic many times.
“By the way, do your parents know? I’m coming to propose marriage tomorrow!” Mo Yunzhu said immediately.
"What? Tomorrow, so soon?"
"My disciple can't wait." Mo Yunzhu said with a wry smile, "Tomorrow is an auspicious day!"
"Sister, now that you have made your choice, I think you should hurry up and do it before the Xu family to avoid rumors." Gu Wanwan said immediately.
Gu Qin thought for a moment and said, "Although my parents know a little bit, they didn't say much. I'll go talk to them later."
Mo Yunzhu was relieved, and then looked at Gu Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, do you have any drama with Ji Shao?"
Gu Wanwan immediately lowered her head and said sadly: "Mr. Ji thinks I'm just a young girl, but I'm obviously sixteen years old." She pouted her lips and looked very sad.
"With sincerity, even metal and stone can be broken. You are still young, so try harder. If it really doesn't work, just give up. There are still many good men." Mo Yunzhu didn't know whether the two people could get along well, so she comforted Gu Wanwan.
Gu Wanwan nodded, and then the three women chatted a lot, with laughter filling the room.
At noon the next day, Mo Yunzhu came to the Lan Mansion and went to the Gu Mansion with the betrothal gifts.
Soon, rumors spread in the capital's circles that Miss Mo Yunzhu had helped Master Lan Yan propose to Miss Gu.
Many people speculated about the relationship between Mo Yunzhu and Lan Yan, and wondered why Lan Yan and Gu Qinxin fell in love with each other.
For a while, the imperial city was abuzz with gossip. As the court officials became familiar with Lan Yan, the emperor's favorite, Lan Yan's name became more and more familiar in the imperial city.
Naturally, the legend about this miraculous doctor spread, and the Lan family became more powerful and became a perfect match for the Gu family.
The emperor soon learned about this and called Lan Yan to ask about it.
"Lan Yan, why did you ask Mo Yunzhu to help you recruit someone to the Gu family?" The emperor was extremely curious about this matter.
