Chapter 198: Help him find a date
When Zhuo Yu returned to Wanyao Pavilion, he saw his adoptive father, Uncle Zhou, and Uncle Zhao, and his expression was filled with joy.
Although he was in great pain inside, his expression was no different from every time we met.
Zhuo Hongli was very satisfied with his adopted son. The two chatted for a long time, but most of the conversation was about business.
In addition to bringing some precious medicinal materials and account books, Zhuo Hongli also brought one thing that Zhuo Yu had not expected.
"Blind date?" Zhuo Yu's voice became sharp after hearing this.
"Yu'er, you are not young anymore. When others were your age, their children were already able to raise children. It is time for you to get married. Your stepfather can also have grandchildren sooner. How wonderful." Zhuo Hongli looked at Zhuo Yu with kindness.
Zhuo Yu suddenly felt sick and said anxiously, "Foster father, I don't want to get married and have children at all. I want to travel to five countries, where can I settle down? Isn't this harming others?"
"Nonsense, after you get married, don't travel so often. Just visit two countries a year, such as Qingyun and Chen. It won't take too long to go back and forth. Wanyao Pavilion is already running smoothly, so there's no need to keep an eye on it all the time.
Life events are more important. It will be hard to miss them. The person chosen by your godfather will be here in ten days. Take a look first. Maybe if you like him, your godfather won’t have to force you. "
Zhuo Hongli said with a smile.
Zhuo Yu didn't know what to say. His face was more bitter than bitter gourd.
"Godfather, why did you bring him here? Where is he from?" Zhuo Yu thought that he could just say he didn't like him when the time came.
"The youngest daughter of the richest man in Chen State is called Fan Mingzhu. Her adoptive father is more familiar with her father. The girl has also seen you before and said that she has always had a crush on you."
"Fan Mingzhu?" Zhuo Yu had no impression.
I was quite busy when I was in Chen State, and I did meet a lot of business people. I knew the richest man in Chen State, Fan Dahu, but I didn't know his youngest daughter, Fan Mingzhu.
"Fan Dahu and my adoptive father have a long history. They have known each other for 20 years. He is a shrewd man with many tricks, but he dotes on his youngest daughter. Mingzhu is not as shrewd as her father. Instead, she is very simple and kind.
Yu'er, this kind of girl is suitable for you, and once you become Fan Dahu's son-in-law, she will be a great help to you.
Chen State is the leader of the five states, and half of our Wanyao Pavilion is also in Chen State. It would be the best for you to start a family in Chen State."
Zhuo Hongli's words made Zhuo Yu feel very gloomy. He was originally the prince of Chen State and his home was Chen State. What did he mean by arranging for him to return to Chen State?
It seems that after he left Chen State, he still had contact with it, otherwise he would not have brought up this line. I'm afraid there is a lot of cat-sickness involved.
This adopted son of mine is most likely just a chess piece of his.
"Young Master, Master is right. It would be best if you could settle down in Chen State. Then it would be convenient for you to go back to Wanlian Mountain, and it would be convenient for Master to visit you. Besides, Miss Mingzhu is really good." Uncle Zhou immediately spoke up.
Zhuo Yu was silent, and finally said unwillingly: "Since godfather insists, let's take a look at the person first. But godfather, let me make it clear first, if I don't like Fan Mingzhu, I won't marry her."
Zhuo Hongli and Uncle Zhou were immediately delighted.
"Of course. How could your godfather let you marry a woman he doesn't like? A couple must love each other to last long."
Zhuo Yu also nodded and said, "Thank you, godfather."
"By the way, isn't Fan Mingzhu afraid of danger coming here?"
"How could that be? Chen State and Qingyun are now on good terms and are doing business. The Fan family also sent Miss Mingzhu here because they want to cooperate with Qingyun and Ouyang families. In addition, Chen State has already returned the hostages for ten years. If Qingyun dares to touch anyone from Chen State, I'm afraid the relationship will become strained again. The new emperor of Chen State is not a merciful person."
Zhuo Yu was slightly surprised, and then said: "It seems that the two richest men in the two countries are going to join hands in doing business."
Zhuo Hongli nodded and said, "Yes, it is good for both countries. What Chen State lacks, Qingyun has, and what Qingyun does not have, Chen State has. They complement each other and it is also beneficial to both the country and the people."
Zhuo Yu agreed with this point. Business exchanges between the two countries are actually beneficial to the people of both countries.
"Okay, it's getting late. You just came back, go and rest first." Zhuo Hongli said after seeing that he didn't look very well.
Zhuo Yu nodded, said goodbye and went back to his room to rest. In fact, his mind was still full of thoughts. He wanted to meet Mo Yunzhu, but it would be bad if he was discovered, so he had to endure it.
However, he still asked Jingji to buy things and send a message at the same time.
When Mo Yunzhu knew Zhuo Yu had returned, she became nervous, but Jing Ji told her that the young master told her not to worry. Mo Yunzhu thought she should trust Zhuo Yu and wrote a letter to tell him her guess.
The next day, Zhuo Yu and Zhuo Hongli went out for tea. Both father and son had outstanding looks, so they naturally attracted a lot of attention.
In a booth on the second floor of Hongyun Building near the river, a father and son were enjoying a cup of tea and chatting, looking very comfortable.
"Yu'er, I heard from Lan Bo that you know King Lan?"
Zhuo Yu was surprised for a moment and said, "Of course I know him, the Fifth Prince, Huo Lan. He was a hostage for ten years and his body was in great shape. After he came back, he became a big customer of our Wanyao Pavilion and bought a lot of medicinal materials."
Zhuo Hongli nodded and said, "This Jun Huo Lan has been patient in Chen State for ten years. It is not easy for him. You should be more careful when dealing with him."
"Godfather, I know." Zhuo Yu immediately nodded in acceptance.
"Are you familiar with the future Princess Lan, Mo Yunzhu?" Zhuo Hongli asked again.
"Miss Mo?" Zhuo Yu looked up at Zhuo Hongli in surprise.
Zhuo Hongli nodded and said, "When my foster father came here, he heard a lot of rumors about her and Prince Lan. This girl is quite special. She was originally the future crown princess."
Zhuo Yu nodded and said, "Miss Mo is a smart and interesting person. The prince is unlucky, but Prince Lan must have finally gotten what he wanted. After getting Miss Mo as his future princess, his health has improved by leaps and bounds."
"Oh? Tell me everything you know about Miss Mo." Zhuo Hongli looked very interested.
How could Zhuo Yu not know what he was thinking? He wanted to know whether Mo Yunzhu was Princess Kun's daughter.
"Foster father, I really admire Miss Mo. She is smart and talented. Many people privately say that she is the most talented woman in Qingyun. She is also very much loved by the Mo couple. If it weren't for her sister's mischief, she would have been the queen of Qingyun in the future.
It is said that the prince is also a fool. He could not see through this plot and even colluded with her sister, hurting Miss Mo's heart.
Looking at her devotion to Jun Huolan, it can be seen that she is still a person of affection and righteousness. "
"Yuer, you think very highly of her." Zhuo Hongli smiled calmly.
"Father, I am only telling the truth. If you get to know her better, you will know that what I said is true."
