Jiujiu replied, "… She's the girl who came to pick me up and saw me off when I left. She's Princess Chang 'an. What do you think of her?"
Zheng Wei 'an carefully recalled Mo Zhiyuan's appearance when she was standing beside Jiujiu.
It seemed that Miss Mo's smile was very beautiful and gentle. Although it was just a quick glance, it gave him a feeling that other girls didn't have.
Zheng Wei 'an gave Jiujiu an answer, "I think she's very good. What's wrong?"
Zheng Wei 'an was a straightforward person. If he liked someone, he liked them. If he didn't, he didn't.
If he said he thought she was very good, he naturally meant it.
"A few days ago, I heard from my mother that you've reached the age where you should marry a wife. She told me that there are so many girls in the capital, but she's taken a fancy to Miss Mo from the Mo family. She said that if you could marry Miss Mo, she would wake up smiling in her dreams. If you like her, I'll tell my mother and ask her to propose marriage on your behalf."
Although a man could have three wives and four concubines, General Zheng's only love was Princess Chang Ping. Therefore, he set a rule that the men of the Zheng family could only marry one person and could not have concubines.
Therefore, although Zheng Wei 'an wasn't young, he didn't know anything about the matters between men and women.
At this moment, when he heard Jiujiu say that his mother wanted to propose marriage to Miss Mo on his behalf, his face instantly flushed red. Even his ears were completely red.
Because of Jiujiu's request, Zheng Wei 'an couldn't treat Mo Zhiyuan normally. He carefully recalled Mo Zhiyuan's quiet and beautiful appearance, then thought of himself as a boor who only knew how to wield a spear and a sword. He thought of how young girls nowadays liked scholars who could recite poems, make couplets, and speak eloquently. He couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Miss Mo is so good. I think she won't like a boor like me."
Jiujiu asked, "What if he likes her?"
Looking at her brother's expression of love, Jiujiu drank a mouthful of water, "I've arranged to meet Miss Mo in three days. If you're interested, you can ask Miss Mo in person. If both of you don't have any objections, you can exchange tokens for my mother to propose marriage. What do you think?"
It could be said that exchanging tokens to propose marriage was the most popular free love model here.
Zheng Wei 'an already had a very good impression of Jiujiu. After hearing Jiujiu's suggestion, he nodded his head in agreement.
Seeing that Zheng Wei 'an agreed, Jiujiu smiled and said, "Big Brother, since you're going to meet Miss Mo in three days, then you shouldn't go to the martial arts arena for the next few days. Find someone to make you a set of clothes and tidy up your face. You're so handsome, but you always make yourself look like a martial artist. Who would like you like this?"
Thinking of Mo Zhiyuan's scholarly appearance and his own uncouth appearance, Zheng Wei 'an nodded and said, "I understand."
Just then, the dishes were served. Jiujiu stopped talking to Zheng Weian and focused on eating.
After the meal, Jiujiu went straight to Princess Changping.
Jiujiu wasn't lying when she said that her mother was looking for a girl for Zheng Wei 'an.
Just as Jiujiu said, Princess Changping liked Mo Zhiyuan the most. However, Mo Zhiyuan's family background was high and she was too good. Princess Changping was worried that Mo Zhiyuan wouldn't like Zheng Wei 'an, who liked to play with swords and spears, so she eliminated Mo Zhiyuan from the list.
Jiujiu looked at the portrait of a girl in her mother's room and smiled. "Mother, are you really going to marry Big Brother?"
"Yes." Princess Changping kept the portrait in her hand and said, "Your Big Brother isn't young anymore. When your father was his age, I already had your Big Brother. Your father was busy with the military camp and didn't have time to care about these things. Naturally, I'll take a look at him."
Cheng Wanyun knew that Jiujiu went to attend Mo Zhiyuan's banquet. She smiled and asked, "How was the banquet today? Did you meet a suitable young master? If you like him, you should interact with him more. When you're of marriageable age, your father and I will marry you off. "
"No, those young masters always say 'Zhihu' when they open their mouths, and 'Zhe' when they close their mouths. It's so boring. If I want to get married, I must find a real man who is as mighty and majestic as my father. I don't want those scholars who can't do anything other than Zhihu.
However, although I haven't met anyone I like, Big Brother seems to have taken a fancy to Chang 'an Princess Miss Mo. "
"What?"
Cheng Wanyun's hands trembled and the portraits she had just arranged fell to the ground.
Looking at the smiling girls in the portraits, Cheng Wanyun didn't have time to pick them up. She looked at Jiujiu and asked, "What did you say?"
"Isn't Big Brother picking me up today? Coincidentally, Miss Mo and I hit it off, so she personally sent me off. Big Brother saw her and when he came back, his face was red. I feel that Miss Mo is beautiful and has a good personality. Even I can't help but feel happy when I see her, let alone Big Brother. If Big Brother really likes her, it would be good to let her be my sister-in-law. At least, I feel that Miss Mo and I will get along very well. "
Cheng Wanyun knew that Mo Zhiyuan was a good person. However, it was fine that Zheng Yian liked Mo Zhiyuan, but what was Mo Zhiyuan's attitude?
"Then what does Miss Mo mean? Don't tell me it's your Big Brother who likes her."
Seeing Cheng Wanyun's eyebrows bulging and her face full of worry, Jiujiu smiled and said, "Miss Mo, when my Big Brother sent me off, I noticed him. I've already arranged to meet him in three days. At that time, as long as both of them are willing, we can wait to bring the token to propose marriage."
Jiujiu's good news made Cheng Wanyun happy. She originally thought that she wouldn't like Zheng Yian.
Then, she thought about it and realized that Jiujiu was deliberately teasing her.
Cheng Wanyun looked at Jiujiu's smiling face and angrily poked Jiujiu's forehead. "You mischievous spirit."
Jiujiu chuckled. As she massaged Cheng Wanyun's shoulders, she tried to please her mother. "Aren't I helping you solve your problems?"
"You almost scared Mother to death."
"What's there to be afraid of? Does Mother have so little confidence in my Big Brother?"
"Confidence ah, Mother has it. That's right, that Miss Mo is too good. Mother is worried that she won't like your Big Brother. It's not like you don't know that girls nowadays like those who can recite poems and make couplets. People like your Big Brother who like to play with spears and swords and go to the military camp for no reason are the most undesirable. If he finds a girl with an ordinary background, it's fine. But if it's someone like Miss Mo, it's all up to her."
"I know." Jiujiu leaned her head on Cheng Wanyun's shoulder and said with a smile, "That's why I specially asked Miss Mo. She has a very good impression of my Big Brother. If my Big Brother looks at her the same way she does, she will exchange tokens with him."
