Chapter 163: Discussing the Dowry

## #翌日, the main hall of the main courtyard of the Moon Mansion

Gu Yanran stroked her forehead and looked helplessly at Lin Wanzhi, who came to the door early in the morning. "Mother, why are you here?"

She was supposed to go to the infirmary today, but when Lin Wanzhi came, she couldn't go out at all, so she had to let Ling Mi go to the infirmary alone.

"Of course, being a mother is here for the marriage." Lin Wanzhi smiled meaningfully. "Yan'er, tell me about you, how can you not talk to your mother in advance for such a big matter as asking for marriage?"

Gu Yanran. ...... "I didn't know in advance, how can I talk to you?"

"Hey, you don't know, I just heard the news yesterday, and my mother was taken aback!" Lin Wanzhi patted her chest slightly exaggeratedly.

Gu Yanran. "......" What a coincidence, I was also taken aback.

Lin Wanzhi looked at Gu Yanran with a smile. "Yan'er, when you said before that you had a favorite person, you were referring to the second prince, right?"

“…… Well. Gu Yanran replied in vain.

"Tell me about my mother, how did you meet? How long have you known each other? What do you like about him? And again, when did you discuss the marriage request? Lin Wanzhi kept asking.

Gu Yanran's eyes shook and she didn't speak. “……”

She couldn't make up a lie, and she didn't want to deceive Lin Wanzhi, so she had to be silent.

Lin Wanzhi blamed all of Gu Yanran's reactions on shyness, and the smile on her face was even more obvious. "I'm sorry to say, I won't ask these questions for my mother, you just have to answer...... He, is he good for you? ”

And this question, Gu Yanran doesn't need to take time to think about it to answer it at all.

"He's been very nice to me, very good." gave her a shop, cared for her, shared the secrets of Taoyuan Valley with her, and even grilled fish for her to eat.

"That's more important than anything else." Lin Wanzhi's words grew seriously. "Your father and I don't want you to marry a powerful person, and I don't want you to marry into the royal family, but I beg you to marry a good man who is willing to love you, protect you, and understand you, but what I didn't expect was that you chose the second prince."

Gu Yanran added a cup of hot tea for Lin Wanzhi and said. "Mother, I didn't choose the 'second prince', but Nangong Xuanyi, he understands me, protects me, and loves me, I am very happy and lucky to be able to marry him."

"I'm worried about you being wronged for my mother." Lin Wanzhi sighed deeply. "Yan'er, the royal daughter-in-law is not in charge, and the prince's concubine is even more difficult to be, and one day he will even have to personally marry the concubines and concubines for him......"

"There won't be a day like this." Gu Yanran said firmly. "Xuan Yi said, a couple for a lifetime, I believe he will do what he says."

Lin Wanzhi said in slight surprise. "That's what he told you? A couple for a lifetime? ”

"Hmm." Gu Yanran's eyes softened. And yesterday when he asked the monarch for marriage, he said the same, and everyone present heard it. Mother, don't worry, what you are worried about will not happen, and I will not be wronged because of this. ”

Lin Wanzhi was relieved. "It sounds like this, the second prince is a good boy, very good, very good, Yan'er, find an opportunity to bring the second prince back to the Protector's Mansion, and let me meet this good son-in-law with your father first."

As soon as Gu Yanran wanted to respond, she saw Zi Su walking in.

"Miss Yan, the wife of the head of the house." Shiso blessed the two of them. "The second prince has just passed the house, and when he heard that the wife of the family master had arrived, he wanted to see him, but he was worried that such a hasty meeting would surprise you, so he asked the slave maid to come and ask you for instructions."

Gu Yanran. ...... "Why is he here at this time?"

"Hurry up and invite the second prince in." Lin Wanzhi's tone trembled slightly, obviously nervous.

"Yes, ma'am." Shisu received the order and left the main hall.

Lin Wanzhi stood up and tugged at the edge of her skirt with her hand. "I knew that if I could see my son-in-law today, I should have worn a formal dress, so casual, what if it made the second prince feel rude?"

"Mother, you don't have to be so nervous." Gu Yanran stepped forward and squatted down, taking care of Lin Wanzhi's skirt. "You are an elder, as long as you hold the elder's shelf, you don't have to care about the rest."

"But he's the second prince." Lin Wanzhi stretched out her hand to smooth Gu Yanran's hair and said. "When you become the second princess in the future, your father and I will have to salute and say hello when we see you."

Gu Yanran just smiled and didn't speak. “……”

"Alright, alright." Lin Wanzhi picked up Gu Yanran. "The second prince is coming, let's greet him with the most dignified appearance."

As soon as Gu Yanran and Lin Wanzhi stood up, Nangong Xuanyi walked in under the guidance of Zisu.

"The courtiers/maidens have seen the second prince."

Lin Wanzhi and Gu Yanran saluted Nangong Xuanyi together.

Nangong Xuanyi helped Gu Yanran with one hand and Lin Wanzhi with the other. "Mother-in-law and Yan'er don't need to be polite, we are almost our own family, we don't have to be so restrained, just casual."

Lin Wanzhi was very satisfied with Nangong Xuanyi's peaceful attitude, but she still said. "Etiquette should not be abolished."

"Mother, Xuanyi, let's sit down and talk again." Gu Yanran helped Lin Wanzhi to sit on the main seat, and then sat next to Nangong Xuanyi and asked quietly. "Why are you here?"

Nangong Xuanyi smiled back at Gu Yanran. "I've come to talk to you about the dowry."

"Hire, dowry?" Gu Yanran was stunned.

Nangong Xuanyi didn't look at Gu Yanran anymore, but turned his gaze to Lin Wanzhi. "Mother-in-law, my son-in-law wants to come over today to discuss the dowry with Yan'er, since you are here, I don't know what your requirements are in terms of dowry?"

"I don't have any requirements for the dowry, just do your best." Lin Wanzhi expressed her attitude.

Nangong Xuanyi said with a smile. "The son-in-law understands, and when the dowry is ready, the son-in-law will personally come to the door to propose."

……

……

Gu Yanran and Nangong Xuanyi sent Lin Wanzhi away and sat down in the pavilion together.

"I didn't know that you still have a hobby of listening to people's corners." Gu Yanran glanced at Nangong Xuanyi angrily. "Tell me, where did you start listening to my conversation with my mother?"

Nangong Xuanyi looked calm. "From the time you confessed to your mother-in-law that the person you liked was me."

Gu Yanran. "...... "Isn't that a thorough sound?!"

"When do you think it's right for me to come to the door?" Nangong Xuanyi asked.

"You ask me?" Gu Yanran was a little confused when asked. "Don't you need time to prepare for the dowry? Naturally, when will the dowry be ready and when will you come to propose. ”

Nangong Xuanyi said with a smile. "The dowry has already been prepared, and now I just need you to give you a time that feels right for you."

"It's okay, you decide." Gu Yanran had no idea.

Nangong Xuanyi made a decision on the spot. "Then it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I'll ...... it now"

"Let's set the beginning of next month!" Gu Yanran decisively gave a time. "I have to sit in the medical hall, and I have to be busy with the student exams at the end of the month of Shangheng Academy, so I really can't take a break."

"(* ̄) ̄) Listen to you."
