The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1368

Chapter 1368: Chapter 1130, What bad intentions could the young lord Gu possibly have? 1

Zhongzhou, at the gate of the provincial capital, a grand procession of carriages and horses entered the city, attracting the attention of all the surrounding citizens.

Meanwhile, in a street-side private room on the second floor of Sihai Restaurant, Gu Moyan was drinking wine with a troubled expression.

Seated beside him, Xiao Moan, the younger brother of the Great Grandson, found it amusing: "Seeing you like this, one might think something enormous has happened."

Gu Moyan glanced at him: "Grandfather ordered me to marry within this year. Isn’t that a significant matter?"

Xiao Moan laughed: "If you ask me, you should get married. Brother Moxi’s eldest son is already a year old, and Yan got married last year too. It’s your turn now, isn’t it?"

Gu Moyan looked distressed: "But the time is too tight. It’s already March. Within these few months, where am I supposed to find a wife?"

Xiao Moan chuckled: "If you genuinely wish to marry, it would be easy. Just announce your intention, and I guarantee not only Zhongzhou’s young ladies but also those from Beijing will flock to you."

Gu Moyan huffed, bothered to respond.

Xiao Moan spoke seriously: "You should hurry up. Last winter, our ancestor was ill for over two months. I noticed Grandfather truly worried. Don’t tell me you’re unaware of our ancestor’s wish?"

Gu Moyan’s expression paused, his brow furrowing deeper.

The ancestor wanted to see him marry and have children to continue the Gu Family lineage, which he understood well.

But he truly tried hard. Since arriving in Zhongzhou, he attended various banquets and met many young ladies, yet he hadn’t met someone he liked!

Xiao Moan continued: "In marriage, it’s always been based on parental words and matchmaking. Only your uncle and aunt spoil you and your siblings, letting you find someone you like."

"But now that you’re of age, you should take responsibility. Look at the successors of other families; they all marry at sixteen or eighteen. You’ve enjoyed so many years; you should be content."

"Look at me, married at eighteen to someone arranged by my brother and mother. And isn’t everything fine now?"

"All that mutual affection and harmony, for people like us, if we encounter it, that’s good. If not, life must go on as usual."

Gu Moyan remained silent. Just then, street noises prompted him to stand and look outside the window.

Xiao Moan, seeing this, also stood to look, recognizing the marks on the convoy. He immediately laughed: "It must be the new Provincial Governor bringing his family to take office."

Speaking, he glanced at Gu Moyan.

"This new Provincial Governor, Tang Xianhui, seems to have been your uncle’s former subordinate?"

Gu Moyan thought for a moment, nodding: "I remember this Tang official. He served two terms as a Fourth-rank Counselor in Xiliang, and during festivals, he always brought his family to visit the Prince Residence. My father considered him capable, a practical person."

Xiao Moan laughed: "My brother also highly regards him."

This, Gu Moyan had noticed. Grandfather had become increasingly detached from affairs, silently allowing the Great Grandson to arrange his men everywhere.

Tang Xianhui evidently caught the Great Grandson’s eye; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been promoted to the highest official in a province within a few years.

After watching for a while, the two retracted their gaze and sat back down to eat.

...

Elsewhere, Tang Xianhui also moved in with his family into the official residence arranged by the Imperial Court.
