In the tenth year of Jingping, Sangzizhou

"This year's floods have damaged tea gardens and mulberry gardens. People outside the city are hungry. There is a plague in Li County, and several villages have been sealed off..."

Gu Lan was lighting incense for her father who had been busy for several days. She listened to several big shopkeepers reporting news to her father. She raised her eyes and glanced at one of them, then quickly closed her eyes without saying a word.

"A few days ago, Shopkeeper Wang went out of the city and was attacked by refugees. He has not yet woken up. The situation of our village outside the city is also unknown now."

"We are all counting on Shopkeeper Wang, why don't we send someone out again?"

When Gu Lan saw her father closing his eyes and frowning slightly, she couldn't help but ask first.

"This, the situation outside the city is really terrible, no one dares to go there anymore..."

The faces of these shopkeepers all showed fear at this moment, and everyone was worried that they would become the next shopkeeper who lay in bed unaware of his personnel.

Now it is easy to leave the city, but difficult to return!

Judging from the current situation, the cost of going out is too high. At least it will cost money to eliminate disasters, and at most it will cost your life.

"Why don't we wait until the court resettles the disaster-stricken refugees later before making a decision?"

Another shopkeeper suggested this.

"No, Zhuangzi is far away from the city. If the refugees really have evil intentions and cannot attack the city, aren't Zhuangzi and the villages on high ground their targets?"

With a serious look on her face, Gu Lan stared at the group of shopkeepers in front of her who were resisting. When she met one of them again, she heard her father suddenly say: "Okay, let's all go down."

Seeing the group of them running away as if they had received an amnesty, Gu Lan frowned and wanted to say something, but saw her father open his eyes, turned to look at the anxious Gu Lan, and said: "Everyone cherishes their lives, but you force others to come forward." Go, it’s counterproductive.”

"I know, so I guess I can..."

"How can you, a woman, put yourself in danger?"

Before Gu Lan took the initiative, her father had already seen through her thoughts, but when he said "woman", Gu Lan felt a little dissatisfied.

"Whether it's a woman or a man, they will face danger when they leave the city. Shopkeeper Wang is like this. As long as my daughter learns her lesson and is fully prepared, it will be fine."

"Be fully prepared and there is no need for you to go there in person. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Do you still want me to teach you this?"

"But daddy, I..."

"Okay." As if he didn't sense Gu Lan's dissatisfaction, the head of the Gu family interrupted Gu Lan's request and said: "You should leave this matter to others. There must be brave men under heavy profits."

"Yes, my daughter understands." Lone Lan responded, lowering her head and tightening the corners of her mouth.

Gu Lan was about to retreat when she heard her father say: "Shang Lin Ye's family and I will tell you about your marriage to their eldest son. In a few days, they will send someone to come and betrothal..."

The corners of the lips that had just been raised were instantly lowered.

"Father decides everything."

After Gu Lan resigned abruptly, her face became even more gloomy as soon as she walked out of the study.

The eldest son of Shanglin Ye’s family?

"A verbally agreed baby kiss?"

Gu Lan sneered, very disdainful of this.

After returning to her room, Gu Lan immediately put on a long gown with narrow sleeves and a veil before going out.

When letting her servant lead the carriage, she stood under the veranda and heard the chirping of several maids under the eaves. Maid A: "The fifth brother Gu Wu is so stupid. When Sister Jade came out of his yard two days ago, her eyes were red!"

Maid B: "There is also Ke'er, too. I heard that several of the sisters who served him closely have been injured a long time ago..."

Maid C: "Ah! I'm going to kill you for saying such a thing?"

Maid A: "What? Is this solitary fifth brother really worthy of being made an heir by the master? I don't have to worry about him being driven out for being so arrogant and choosing a suitable one from the clan..."

The words of several little maids made Gu Lan, who was already unhappy, feel even worse.

Of course the man Gulan who lived in Dongyuan remembered him as a idiot, and she didn't know why her father would choose such a person as his heir.

The carriage came over, and Gu Lan got on the carriage and went to a private room in a teahouse in the city.

"What happened to the query results?"

"The eldest son of Shang Lin Ye has a habit of cutting off Long Yang's sleeves, and his parents knew about it. Mr. Ye was so angry that he could barely breathe.

His mother was also cruel, saying that if he did not marry a wife and have children, the huge Ye family property would be directly handed over to the elders for disposal when Mr. Ye passed away.

That's why Young Master Ye has come to see you eagerly, proposing the marriage he had talked about verbally when he was young. "

Listening to the information she found from someone, Gu Lan didn't believe it all. She looked up at the person who told her, and asked: "There is no basis for what you said. Is there any conclusive evidence for what you said?"

"Of course there is. If the little lady doubts what I'm saying, you'll know in a few days when the eldest young master of the Ye family comes to offer the offer in person. He brought his heart and soul with him."

After the man finished speaking, he glanced in Gu Lan's direction with a half-smile. Gu Lan looked up at the other person's eyes with the tea cup in hand, and finally said:

"Thank you very much, sir. The batch of swords I promised you earlier have been prepared. However, as they are in Zhuangzi outside the city, as you know, it is not safe outside the city during this period."

"Please rest assured, little lady, I will send someone to guard the village over there. But a few days ago, your father's shopkeeper Wang came..."

Gu Lan understood that the reason why Shopkeeper Wang became what he was now was also the work of the person in front of him.

"Sir, it was kind of you to save the other person's life."

For some reason, Yan Shuo felt that Gu Lan was acting strangely.

Sure enough, the next second he heard Gu Lan say: "If the other party wakes up and reports the transaction between me and my husband to my father, I will be jealous and suspicious of my father. Wouldn't it be very bad if it ruins the plans of the people behind my husband?" ?”

At this time, Yan Shuo really looked at the woman. She was young, but her eyes were full of ambition and unwillingness.

Is this woman dissatisfied with her marriage, or is she dissatisfied with something else?

"What if it's Miss Yigu?"

Looking at Yan Shuo who had been staring at her for a long time and asking such a question, Gu Lan pursed her lips, then lowered her head and said: "How about this, I have helped you deal with this 'worry', can you let me see you?" Master, let’s discuss future plans together?”

As soon as these words came out, Yan Shuo also laughed.

He felt that Gu Lan's words were a bit exaggerated.

"It's just that this matter is not a 'worry' for us. Moreover, it is far from enough for only one person to vote."

Yan Shuo drank a cup of hot tea, raised his head and glanced at Gu Lan again and said, "Moreover, the little lady Gu has great ambitions. If you want to get something, you should understand the equivalent value of exchange, right?"

Gu Lan: One person is not enough to invest in the name certificate. Is it possible to make two fortunes?
