Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mrs. Zhang's letter, "That's good. No wonder Mrs. Gu arranged marriage for Zhang Luo. If his character is not good, Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu can't be so concerned about it."

At this time, Mrs. Liu also expected Mrs. Gu to come to her door. Once the two families were in harmony, the Gu family could send someone to propose marriage.

The woman is reserved and will not agree immediately.

Later, the man came back to propose marriage and then agreed.

It's full of routines, but Liu Pan'er thinks it's a good idea, and both of them are respectable.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Gu personally visited, accompanied by Gu Shao.

After Mrs. Gu praised the girl at home for a while, she asked knowingly, "Pan'er, Xiaohua, have Afang and Ali said they're kissing?"

Mrs. Liu replied: "Afang is seeing each other now. We are almost familiar with each other. We are waiting for the first lunar month to come and propose marriage."

"Everyone wants to ask for a good girl." Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "Alright, Ali, do you like her?"

"Back to Madam, it's not yet!" Mrs. Liu smiled, very reserved.

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "I have met Ali a few times and I am very happy. Qi Lang, a branch of the Gu family, has a poor family but a good character. He was admitted to the Juren Examination last autumn."

"I have a shop at home, and I earn seven to eight hundred taels of silver a year, which is enough to cover my expenses. I am eighteen this year, and I used to just go to school and be bored. If you don't mind, I will be shameless and come to propose marriage."

Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "It's good to be able to make the old lady take notice of me. It's just a matter of marriage. I'll discuss it with Sister Xiaohua later."

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "Then I will wait."

The two families had reached a tacit agreement on the marriage, and they waited until the first month of the year to propose the marriage.

Gu Shao was in the study, telling him his plan.

"General Li, I have been thinking about a problem during this time. King Chen is very likely to collude with the Japanese country. He is very smart. Your Majesty sent me and you to Jiangnan Road. He must have begun to suspect that your Majesty is going to attack him."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Without this cleverness, King Chen would not have been so deeply entrenched in Jiangnan Dao. My subordinates were not idle and secretly inquired. In the entire Xunyang Mansion, Jixiang Town in Cuiyang County has the best security."

Gu Shao smiled and said, "It's a bit difficult for us to find a breakthrough. I have a strategy that I want to discuss with General Li."

Li Yuanqing raised his eyebrows, "If you have a good idea that can do twice the result with half the effort, then just say it. If you can, I won't have any prejudice and will fully support Mr. Gu."

Gu Shao glanced at Li Yuanqing with a half-smile, "With General Li's words, Gu will feel relieved. Instead of us taking the initiative, we should let them come to us."

Hearing this, Li Yuanqing was confused, "Those people are hiding from us even if we don't have time, how can they be willing to find them?"

Gu Shao smiled and said, "The reason why they are avoiding us is because they have not found our fatal weakness."

"If they have the opportunity to find someone who can get close to us and have the opportunity to overthrow us, then how can someone with bad intentions and other agendas give up?"

Li Yuanqing pondered for a moment, "Master Gu is very resourceful, how do you operate it?"

Gu Shao thought about it for a moment, "Actually, it was the marriage between the two families that inspired me. Gu wanted to make a bureau and put on a big show."

Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, then perked up and looked serious.

"Although Sister Xiaohua and Pan'er want to find a scholar for Ali, the old lady mentioned Gu Qilang. That kid is good, but you can't do anything to ruin our Ali's reputation."

This is what Gu Shao is worried about, "Brother Li, don't be anxious. Listen to me carefully."

Li Yuanqing felt a little bored. Why was he so secretive?

"Then you should speak quickly, speak directly, don't talk in circles, and don't hang your book bag in front of me."

Gu Shao did not dare to delay any longer, "Mufuzi from Jinling Academy has contacts with the stewards in Prince Chen's palace. I have told you this before."

"This Mufuzi is very suspicious. After his introduction, Jinling Academy accepted many students from Japan. These people are very friendly to Qilang."

"Qilang, a kid who looks honest on the outside, is actually very shrewd on the inside. He knows that I am an official in the court and Jane is in the emperor's heart, so he pays special attention to me outside."

"He is also very cautious when dealing with friends. He is even more cautious when it comes to deliberately making friends with Japanese people. Qilang is also willing to have this marriage."

"So we decided on the marriage between the two of us, but we used this marriage as a tactic for the outside world. Qilang, who returned to Jinling Academy, pretended to be dissatisfied with the marriage, and then became dissatisfied with me and the Gu family, causing discord."

"Those with ulterior motives will never let go of this opportunity to sow discord with Gu Qilang. Just in time, I can use counterintuitive tactics to bring Qilang into contact with them."

Li Yuanqing was slightly startled, "But this doesn't guarantee that Gu Qilang will be able to find useful information!"

Gu Shao smiled meaningfully, "It doesn't matter whether Qilang can find out useful information. But those people can get my plan, our plan... As long as they take action, we can find theirs." trace."

Li Yuanqing's eyes lit up. No wonder His Majesty, before leaving, assigned this task to Gu Shao as the leader and him as the assistant.

I was a little unconvinced before, but now I have to accept it.

He didn't think of using the relatives around him, but Gu Shao could think of it.

However, this strategy seems to be pretty good.

After Gu Shao finished speaking, he waited quietly for Li Yuanqing's answer.

"How about it? Do you dare to do it?" Gu Shao couldn't help but ask when he saw that Li Yuanqing was reluctant to say anything.

This is the easiest and most trouble-free method.

In addition, he had a way to ensure Gu Qilang's safety, and finally the two of them got married, which also eliminated the previous rumors.

Li Yuanqing thought for a while, "If it were me or my subordinates, I could directly agree, but when it comes to the children at home, I can't make the decision. I have to talk to my wife and Sister Xiaohua."

Hearing this, Gu Shao was stunned and looked at Li Yuanqing with a somewhat unclear look, "Can't you make the decision?"

"Don't even think about irritating me." Li Yuanqing sneered, "In our family, the male is the outsider and the female is the innermost. My wife takes care of the children's affairs."

Gu Shao snorted, "How can you speak so confidently if you are henpecked?"

Li Yuanqing is not ashamed, but proud. "After marriage, you will be henpecked, and you will be rich throughout your life."

Gu Shao disagreed, "This statement is refreshing and refined, and you will be able to comfort yourself."

Li Yuanqing was even more proud, "You don't even have a sweetheart, what do you know? Haha, I'm going to be a father soon, Mr. Gu, you have to hurry up!"

"I have so many children, but you are still a bachelor. In the future, you will suffer from all kinds of gifts. I would like to remind you that you should hurry up and get married and have children."

Gu Shao was most annoyed by Li Yuanqing's proud and showy expression. He stood up and flicked his sleeves, "We are all friends, farewell!"

Li Yuanqing smiled unkindly, he won.

He cursed in his heart, who is your friend?
