"Brother, you also know that we have a daughter."
Hearing Lan Yu's words, Yang Xuan hummed slightly and motioned for him to continue.
"This child's life is miserable. We have caused her trouble."
"You have followed us here to guard the mausoleum since you were a young child."
"Our life has been worthwhile. When I was young, I followed my brother-in-law to kill the Tatars. When I was in my prime, I led an army to attack the court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty."
"Youyou Qingshi will also have our name."
"We have nothing to regret."
"But this child is still young. We can't let her stay here with us for the rest of her life."
"Brother, if you can help her, please help her find a good in-law."
After listening to Lan Yu's words, Yang Xuan was slightly silent, and then asked: "Are you talking about Lan Xiang?"
"Exactly."
Lan Yu said.
What a coincidence, isn't this... Yang Xuan felt a burst of emotion in his heart.
"Brother, to be honest, I came here just to talk about matchmaking."
He organized his language and said.
"Oh? Which one is it?" Lan Yu said in surprise.
"The son of Erhu and Yu'er." Yang Xuan said.
"It's their home!" Lan Yu said.
"Back then, Taizu secretly sent Yu'er and her son to his younger brother's house. For so many years, he has been taking care of them."
Yang Xuan explained.
Lan Yu hummed softly and asked again: "So, you want Erhu's son to marry my daughter?"
"Yeah." Yang Xuan nodded lightly.
"Then what does he do now?" Lan Yu asked.
"His Majesty asked him to join the Imperial Guard after the Chinese New Year."
Yang Xuan said.
"No, I won't agree."
When Lan Yu heard this, she immediately objected.
There was also some excitement.
Jinyiwei is not a good place to go, it is just a fire pit.
He didn't want to push his daughter into the fire pit with his own hands.
He had personally experienced the bloody storms of the Hongwu Year and knew Jin Yiwei very well.
As Lao Zhu's confidant, Erhu can be said to be deeply trusted by Lao Zhu, but in the end, his head was used to quell public anger?
Yes, Lan Yu didn't know that Erhu had changed his name to Lao Hu.
There are no more than one person who knows this secret.
Now that Erhu's son wants to inherit his father's legacy, will it end well?
Anyway, Sapphire is not optimistic.
Any girl who marries him will be implicated in the end.
"Brother, don't get excited first, and listen to what I have to say." Yang Xuan said.
"Okay, then you say it." Lan Yu said.
"Brother, I understand your worries."
"But my younger brother watched Huzi grow up, so how could my younger brother watch him follow in the footsteps of Erhu."
"Brother, you have to trust me," Yang Xuan said.
Lan Yu was silent.
He is thinking.
He believed what Yang Xuan said.
However, what Yang Xuan relied on was only the emperor's trust. What if the emperor didn't trust him?
Lan Yu expressed her worries.
"Brother, don't worry, as long as I'm still here, everything will be fine." Yang Xuan said with a confident smile.
Seeing this, Lan Yu was also shaken.
He knew Yang Xuan, and he would not have made such a guarantee if he was not sure.
"That's fine, then it's up to you."
"The matter between my daughter and Huzi is settled." Lan Yu raised the wine bowl.
In fact, he has no better choice. Yang Xuan is willing to help him, what else can he ask for?
"Brother, don't you arrange for the two children to meet?" Yang Xuan asked.
"No need, marriage is a major matter, parents' orders, matchmaker's words."
"We just have to discuss it."
Lan Yu said.
"Okay." Yang Xuan nodded.
The times are like this, and he can't change it.
"When I came this time, I brought some cloth, silk, jewelry and other items for Lanxiang's niece, which can be regarded as Huzi's betrothal gift."
"Brother has a heart."
"It should."
"By the way, remember to give me Lan Xiang's niece's birthday and horoscope."
Yang Xuan gave the final reminder.
"Um."
…
After drinking, the two came to the living room again. Lan Yu called her daughter out and told her that she had arranged a marriage for her.
Taking this opportunity, Yang Xuan also asked Lan Xiang what she thought of the marriage.
The latter means that everything is decided by the father.
In this era where early marriage is common, Lan Xiang can be said to be an old girl.
Of course she was also worried.
But she also knew her family's situation, and she was lucky to be married.
After staying with Lan Yu for half a day, Yang Xuan took Lan Xiang's birthday and horoscopes in his carriage down the mountain in the afternoon.
When he returned to the house, he found Lao Hu and Yu'er and told them that the matter of Hu Zi and Lan Xiang was settled.
The couple was very happy.
Yu'er even knelt down to Yang Xuan on the spot and kept saying thank you.
It has become a worry for her that her son has not yet started a family at such an old age.
As long as she could see her son get married, she would have no regrets even if she died now.
After Lao Hu comforted Yu'er, Yang Xuan told them to prepare Hu Zi's birth date and go with him to Qin Tian Prison tomorrow to divine good or bad luck.
In this regard, the couple has nothing to do.
In this era, getting married requires a clear matchmaker, and there are several procedures that must be followed.
One is to accept the gift: the man sends betrothal gifts to the woman to ask for her hand in marriage.
The second is to ask for the name: the man’s family asks a matchmaker to ask the woman’s name and birthday.
The third is Naji: After the man gets the woman's name and birth date, he performs divination in the ancestral temple. If the divination indicates bad omens, that's all. After getting good omens, he prepares a gift and informs the woman's family that they have decided to get married.
Four people accept the betrothal gift: The man sends someone to formally deliver the betrothal gift to the woman’s home.
The fifth is the request date: the man’s family chooses an auspicious day as the wedding date, informs the woman’s family, and asks for approval.
Sixth: Welcome in person: On the wedding day, the man must go to the woman’s home to greet her in person, and then the man will return first and greet her outside the door.
After completing these six processes, you can be considered "married by a clear matchmaker."
Although the Erhu family and the Lan family are special, these procedures are necessary.
After the divination by Qin Tian Jian, it showed good luck.
Lao Hu and Yu'er were very happy, which meant that their son's wife was stable.
Then Yang Xuan asked people from Qin Tianjian to help choose an auspicious day.
Regardless of whether it was for Yang Xuan's own face or the money's sake, the people at Qintian Prison were very happy to help.
Three days later, Yang Xuan went to Zhongshan with a heavy betrothal gift.
Lao Hu followed Lao Zhu in his early years, and later followed Yang Xuan, but his family fortune was not reduced.
The betrothal gift Yang Xuan didn't help much, it was all prepared by Lao Hu and his wife.
Arriving at Lan's house again, Yang Xuan ordered his entourage to carry the betrothal gift out of the car, while he told Lan Yu the results of the divination and the date of the wedding.
Lan Yu was very satisfied with the result, and the family warmly entertained Yang Xuan and his entourage.
Before leaving, Lan Yu asked Yang Xuan, will the groom come to Zhongshan when the time comes?
All he worries about is that he cannot save face for his daughter.
Yang Xuan smiled and said that he had already thought of this problem and would just wait for his notification when the time comes.
With Yang Xuan's guarantee, Lan Yu was relieved.
Back in the capital, Yang Xuan went to the palace to find Zhu Di and asked him to decree a marriage between Hu Zi and Lan Xiang.
