The elders were shocked. When they were recuperating in Qingshan Village, they didn't know his identity, but now that the famous King of Qi was paying them a tribute, they couldn't bear it no matter what it was.
Just as Grandpa Gu was about to help her up, his voice came over, "Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, Aunt Yuan, this junior, Xiao Mingzhan, is attracted to Ranran and would like to ask for your permission to marry her!"
Everyone was shocked except Duan Yunchi and Gu Xinran. Grandpa Gu's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, his mouth open but unable to speak. Tonight was too extraordinary, with shocking things happening one after another.
Duan Qingyan even scratched his ears, thinking he had misheard. His newly adopted niece was already being coveted by someone else? And it was the King of Qi!
Seeing everyone stunned, Gu Xinran quickly stood up to help, lifted up Xiao Mingzhan's hand to salute, and took one of his hands by the way, and found that his palm was wet.
Haha, I didn’t expect that the famous King of Qi would also be nervous when meeting his parents.
She held his hand tighter, gave him a sweet smile, and then spoke to her family loudly: "Come back, come back, Brother Xiao is handsome, rich, and powerful. I like him very much. He is suitable to be our son-in-law. What do you think?"
The general, who had just come to his senses, wanted to drink some tea to clear his head, but he was frightened by his good niece's bold words and choked, and kept coughing violently.
Duan Yunchi hurriedly patted her back to help her calm down, secretly praising her in his heart, "Ranran, good job. It's two different things whether you choose for yourself or if you are chosen by others."
After the elders of the Gu family were shocked, they were nervous, and then reluctant and worried. They felt mixed emotions.
Mother Gu looked at her daring daughter, feeling both amused and helpless. She tapped her forehead lovingly, "Stop talking nonsense! Marriage is about parents' orders and matchmaker's words. You are shameless, how can you casually decide on the choice of son-in-law, especially when this man is the King of Qi?"
Xiao Mingzhan held Gu Xinran's hand and said confidently, "Aunt Yuan, please don't blame Ranran. What she said is what I think. I hope everyone will support her!"
When Brother Gu and Xuanxuan saw Xiao Mingzhan holding Gu Xinran's hand, they wanted to separate them because they hated someone trying to snatch their sister away. But when they saw her beautiful smile, they gave up the idea of breaking up the couple.
Thinking that his sister would become a princess in the future and would definitely encounter many difficulties and obstacles, Brother Gu secretly made up his mind that he must work hard, fight the enemy with his uncle, make achievements, become a general, become a solid backing for his sister, and avenge his father.
Xuanxuan fled from famine and studied all the way. He knew that he would be easily bullied if he had no background. The higher his sister climbed, the more capable people would be needed to protect her. He must study hard, pass the imperial examination, become a high-ranking official, become a supporter of his family and sister, and not let the bad guys who killed his father go.
Tingting was very happy, especially when she knew that the handsome Brother Xiao could be her brother-in-law. Her eyes were shining.
The general who stopped coughing had a lot of thoughts in his mind. It is not easy to be a princess, but seeing that they are in love, he hopes that there will be a good result.
Then he said, "Ran Ran is still young, you can date first. Isn't it too early to talk about marriage? Will the palace agree?"
Xiao Mingzhan turned to the general with a serious expression, "You also know the situation in the palace. It's not difficult to grant a marriage. Ranran, don't be afraid. Only when it is settled can you feel at ease."
Duan Yunchi was conflicted at first, reluctant to part with his cousin who was outstanding in every way. But then he thought that it was a beautiful thing for his best sister to be with his best brother.
On the other hand, he spoke up for Xiao Mingzhan, "Well, you're such a difficult person. As long as you're willing to ask for a marriage, the Crown Prince and the Emperor will definitely agree to your request. What's more, she's my sister, such an outstanding person."
Everyone is very confident in Xiao Mingzhan's character, and Grandpa Gu admires him even more. If the royal family approves, this marriage will be fine.
Duan Qingyan was worried about the struggle for imperial power, which was fraught with danger. His own Yun Qian was already trapped in the Eastern Palace, and now his niece was going to be involved as well. He was very unwilling to accept this, and he looked at Xiao Mingzhan with a hostile look.
However, since the two of them were of one mind and admired each other, the uncle could only reluctantly agree.
Seeing that her family had no objections but were still worried, Gu Xinran smiled and said, "Don't think too much. It's still too early to start a family. Just live your life as it should. Big Brother Xiao is still the Young Master Xiao of Qingshan Village. Just treat him as a son or grandson and love this poor kid who has suffered so much."
Then he looked up at Xiao Mingzhan and continued, "Our Gu family is a blessed family. I'll lend you some of our good luck. From now on, everything will go smoothly for you."
Xiao Mingzhan was in a good mood and nodded repeatedly. Everyone thought about it from a different perspective and felt a lot more relaxed.
This first hurdle was passed. Doctor Ling smiled from ear to ear and helped open the sandalwood box and distribute gifts to everyone.
At this time, the doorman came to report that Zhao Zhifu and his men were outside the mansion asking to see the prince.
The main house in the front yard had already been cleaned up. Xiao Mingzhan asked Qi Mo to notify them and go to the study to wait.
After saying goodbye to everyone, he took Doctor Ling to the front yard. The moment he walked out of the central hall, he transformed from a gentle and modest gentleman into an arrogant and noble prince.
It was already late at this time. After working hard for many days and being shocked by all kinds of information, everyone was exhausted both physically and mentally. They dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.
As soon as Gu Xinran returned to the room, he locked the door and slipped into the space.
Comfortable!
On the road to escape famine, everyone walked and slept together, and it was difficult to have the opportunity to enter the space and enjoy it.
But when I think about what will happen next, I can't help but laugh out loud. I will soon have a house, a piece of land, and even more private space, and it will be a good life.
When Gu Xinran entered Lingquan Courtyard, she was shocked by the piles of boxes in the yard!
Gold and silver jewelry, antique porcelain, silks and satins, beautiful clothes... everything is available.
Xiao Mingzhan must have emptied the warehouse. The medical fees and medicine expenses are really generous!
She stepped through the open hanging flower gate and walked towards the second courtyard. It was quiet inside and filled with things, all daily necessities.
Considering that he was a patient and my future husband, I helped him tidy it up and tried to control it with my mind, but it didn't work.
Gu Xinran had no choice but to do it herself, making the bed, tidying up, and arranging various items.
After working for more than half an hour, the second courtyard finally looked like a home and was no longer empty.
Thinking about his still frail body, the medical fees and medicine expenses he gave, and his performance in front of his family today, I have to make some delicious food for him to nourish him and show my care.
Gu Xinran came to the kitchen and ordered a chicken stewed with Polygonatum odoratum and added a lot of spiritual spring water.
While stewing the soup, she admired the various exquisite jewelry given by Xiao Mingzhan, and her smile never faded.
Everyone loves beauty.
After the soup was ready, Xiao Mingzhan didn't even return to the space. Gu Xinran had a bowl for herself first. It was delicious!
I served him a large bowl, brought it into the second courtyard, and placed it on the bedroom table. I secretly praised myself, saying that the doctor did a good job and my girlfriend did a good job too.
It's just that the patient isn't following the doctor's orders and the boyfriend isn't listening. Why don't we go to the front yard and get him to rest?
Just as he was hesitating, Xiao Mingzhan appeared before his eyes.
