Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

The next day, because the number of betrothals was much greater than that of ordinary wealthy children, the servants in the general's mansion were busy dealing with Gu Yanzhou's betrothal affairs.

In order to show her respect for Jiang Nan, Madam Gu personally asked the old lady of Duke Dingguo to pass a message to the wife of Duke Dingguo, asking her to act as a go-between.

Gu Yanzhou asked Rong Xin to pick up the wife of Duke Dingguo in person early in the morning.

The betrothal gifts had already been prepared in the mansion, and they were just waiting for the arrival of Lady Dingguo to set off.

Proposing a marriage proposal is a happy event.

After finishing his work, Gu Yanzhou returned to his room and changed into the dark red brocade robe with cloud patterns and round flowers that Old Madam Gu had prepared for him a long time ago. He paired it with a light green jade pendant around his waist and put his black hair up with an ivory jade hairpin.

Gu Yanzhou himself had a very good appearance, and he usually wore a black brocade robe. The clothes prepared by Old Madam Gu made Gu Yanzhou's eyebrows and eyes look bright and the whole person looked a lot softer, but his eyes were actually very tough.

Gu Yanzhou personally went to the reception room to wait for the wife of Duke Dingguo, holding the teacup tightly in his hand. When he thought about going to the Jiang family to propose marriage soon, he became extremely nervous.

It’s more stressful than the first time I went to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

The Duke Dingguo's Mansion and the General's Mansion were not far from each other. In about two quarters of an hour, Rong Xin invited the wife of the Duke Dingguo over.

"Madam Ning, please come this way." Rong Xin said respectfully to the wife of Duke Dingguo, while leading the way to the reception room.

In the reception room, Gu Yanzhou raised his eyes and saw the wife of Duke Dingguo, then stood up to greet her.

"Aunt Ning, thank you for taking the trouble to make the trip today," Gu Yanzhou used to go to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion with the old lady when he was a child and had met the Duke Dingguo's wife several times.

"Why are you being so polite, kid? I have watched you grow up, and it is our fate to be your witness," Lady Dingguo said to Gu Yanzhou with a smile, being very tactful in her handling of matters.

The wife of Duke Dingguo was in her forties, and she was very well maintained, with not a single wrinkle on her face. When she stood there, she gave people the dignity and grace of a lady from an aristocratic family.

It's simply not something that someone like Xu, who rose to power late, can compare to.

"Aunt Ning, it's almost time, let's set off!"

When Gu Yanzhou saw that everyone had arrived, he immediately couldn't wait to see Jiang Nan.

The mood at this moment is completely different from when we meet on normal days.

"Well, I heard from your grandmother that the Jiang family's daughter's home is right next door to you. It's too close. According to the rules, you have to ask someone to carry the things around before you go. Firstly, this will let people know that you are getting engaged today, and secondly, it is also a respect for the girl."

Lady Dingguo thought of what Old Madam Gu had told her and spoke to Gu Yanzhou in a gentle voice.

"Then everything will be decided by Aunt Ning," Gu Yanzhou immediately instructed Rong Xin to do it.

He has been in the military camp for many years and is not familiar with these rules.

According to the rules, Gu Yanzhou also had to follow them out for a walk, and the wife of Duke Dingguo, as a witness to the two of them, also had to follow.

After all, the wife of Duke Ningguo was a member of the family who lived in a deep mansion, and it was not convenient for her to show up in public. Gu Yanzhou thoughtfully asked Rong Xin to prepare the carriage and follow him.

He rode a horse with his servants and belongings and went around the next street.

The tall and slender man, with outstanding looks and a bridal gift several times more than that of an ordinary family, attracted everyone's attention as soon as he walked onto the street.

"Which wealthy family is going to get engaged with public funds? It's really grand."

"This man is really good-looking."

"It would be nice if my future husband looked like this."

"Tsk, there aren't many men like him in the capital."

Everyone looked at Gu Yanzhou and started talking.

It also attracted the attention of many women on the street.

If it were any other time, Gu Yanzhou would definitely not ride the horse so leisurely and be watched by people, especially some young women, whose eyes seemed to be glued to him.

But today was the day he and Jiang Nan were getting engaged, and Gu Yanzhou was actually enjoying it very much.

While riding on the horse, he had a rare smile on his face.

Jiang Nan had already told Jiang's father and Jiang's mother about Gu Yanzhou's proposal.

The family started preparing early in advance.

Because they were unfamiliar with the etiquette of Lengyue Country, the two were afraid of making mistakes and went out to inquire about it.

They even started preparing tea and pastries early in the morning.

Jiang Nan wore a dark yellow dress and had a simple bun on her head. A few plump and round pearls were casually dotted in her hair. Although simple, it was fresh and elegant.

Jiang Nan sat in the living room, watching Jiang's father and mother pacing back and forth and looking around. She seemed extremely calm.

"Dad, Mom, you two sit down and take a rest. Qingying is already waiting at the door. She will notify us when she arrives."

Jiang Nan raised his hand to his forehead and spoke to the two of them helplessly.

"My daughter is finally getting married. I'm so excited, but you're so calm," Jiang's mother still had her sharp tongue.

"Are you okay? Sit down and take a break. I feel so tired for you two."

Jiang Nan stood up and pushed the two of them to their seats.

"Girl, girl, here it comes, here it comes."

Qingying, who was guarding the door, saw Gu Yanzhou sitting high on his horse, and immediately turned around and ran into the yard to inform the three people.

"Qingying, please welcome Gu Yanzhou and the others in later."

Father and Mother Jiang wanted to get up and go to the door to greet people, but were stopped by Jiang Nan.

"Dad, Mom, this is not modern times, we can just wait here."

In ancient times, it was uncommon for the future father-in-law and mother-in-law to go to the door to welcome their son-in-law.

"Yes, yes, it's too tense," Jiang's father nodded quickly and agreed with Jiang Nan.

Outside the door, Gu Yanzhou dismounted and waited for the wife of Duke Dingguo to take the lead.

The wife of Duke Dingguo was a witness and also acted as a matchmaker.

Lady Dingguo got out of the car and walked to Gu Yanzhou. When she saw Jiang Nan's family, shock flashed in her eyes.

Madam Gu only said that the Jiang family was a business, but she didn't expect that their family was so small. Although she was shocked, the wife of Duke Dingguo did not neglect or look down on the Jiang family because of their small family background.

"Madam, General, please come in."

Qingying was standing in front of the door and was also very observant. She saw that Madam Dingguo was wearing gorgeous clothes, unlike ordinary matchmakers, and had her hair combed in a bun. She immediately greeted Madam Dingguo and Gu Yanzhou.

"Uncle, aunt, this is Madam Ning, the wife of Duke Dingguo, and also the witness of my marriage with Nannan," Gu Yanzhou said after entering the room and took the lead in introducing everyone.

"Madam Ning, please take a seat. Thank you for taking the trouble to make this trip today," Jiang's mother knew the ancient rules very well, and she immediately greeted the wife of Duke Dingguo very politely.

Father Jiang simply nodded at the man, and the two of them greeted each other.

"Madam Ning," Gu Yanzhou introduced her, and Jiang Nan knew that this was Ning Yurou's mother. Jiang Nan leaned forward slightly and saluted to the wife of Duke Dingguo.

"Yurou often mentioned you to me. It is our fate that you are here to act as the middleman today."

Lady Dingguo looked at Jiang Nan and said with a smile, but her eyes were observing Jiang Nan calmly.

"I've often heard Sister Ning mention you, and today when I saw you, you're just as kind and pretty as Sister Ning said."

"You have such a sweet mouth, kid."

After a few pleasantries, Lady Dingguo and Mother Jiang talked about the betrothal proposal.

Even though Jiang's mother usually speaks with a sharp tongue and has no control over her words, after all, she dealt with different people at work in her previous life, so she has her own way of treating people and things.

When in a formal occasion, he treats people with great propriety.
