Chapter 411: Betrothal
Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone from the Mu family was present. Even the twins were leaning against their parents’ chairs and staring at them with widened eyes. When Qi Haoran and the rest entered, everyone’s eyes were fixed on them.
The matchmaker, who was walking at the side, almost fell to the ground under everyone’s gazes.
It was Rong Xuan who greeted Mu Shi first with a smile. “Assistant Commander Mu, it’s been a long time since we last met. You look energetic.”
The corners of Mu Shi’s lips twitched. This greeting was terrible, but he still smiled and replied, “It’s been a long time since I last saw Military Advisor Rong.”
Both parties sat down. Qi Haoran stole a glance at the people present and realized that although the Mu family was present, Mu Yangling was sitting behind the screen. He was surprised. Was there a need for this?
Mu Shi and Shu Wanniang were not very pleased, but given the urgency of the matter, they had no choice but to agree.
Moreover, the Qi family was very sincere. In order for his daughter to have a better life in the Qi family in the future, Mu Shi was also very easy to talk to. Almost as soon as the matchmaker proposed, he agreed. Then, both parties chose to get married nine days later. That’s right, nine days later. In order to help Qi Xiuyuan get rid of the bad luck, Mu Yangling naturally had to marry into the family as soon as possible.
Similarly, they would go to the government office tomorrow to apply for the marriage contract. Then, Fan Zijin would immediately return to the capital with the marriage contract.
A few days ago, Qi Xiuyuan had already sent a pigeon back to the capital and found a few people to hint or persuade Minister Qin to not agree to the Emperor first.
The matchmaker knew that the two families had already agreed to the marriage, and she was just a medium, so she did her best to convey the opinions of both parties. Fortunately, neither party had any objections to the betrothal gifts, dowry, or the banquet menu. Everything was quickly decided upon. Then, after receiving the reward money, the matchmaker went back first.
Mu Shi sent the group of children away and brought the three of them to the study.
Only then did Qi Haoran not suppress the smile on his face and solicitously pull out a chair for Mu Shi. Rong Xuan and Fan Zijin really wanted to put up a sign that said, “We’re not familiar with Qi Haoran.” He was too much of an embarrassment.
Mu Shi probably felt that this son-in-law of his was a little embarrassing, so he felt slightly awkward and said, “Everyone, sit.”
