Chapter 116 Zhu Di wants to be a matchmaker

Behind every successful king, there is a virtuous queen!

This is the worst thing to say about Zhu Di!

Princess Xu Miaoyun can not only give birth to a bunch of cubs for him, but also help him manage the internal affairs of Prince Yan's palace, serve as his military advisor, and even help him defend his base camp at the last critical moment.

Of course, Zhu Di cannot understand the matter of holding the base camp at this time.

But at this moment, Zhu Di was very lucky to have such a virtuous princess, just like his father and his mother!

He was worried about how to completely tie Guo An, Prince Yan's money bag, to him.

Unexpectedly, his sister actually found such a good idea for him directly.

This time, he not only wants to win Guo An's people, but also Guo An's heart!

…

Prince Yan's Mansion, inside the pavilion in the garden.

"I am here to meet you, Your Highness!"

Guo An bowed respectfully to Zhu Di. He was full of doubts in his heart. Why did Zhu Di think of taking the initiative to find him? And why did he come to such a place?

Zhu Di's face was full of kindness, "Guo Qing, no need to be polite, just sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Guo An was not polite and sat down on the stool nearby.

The two waiters on the side quickly served Guo An two plates of fruits and a cup of herbal tea before retreating.

Guo An and Zhu Di were the only two people left in the entire pavilion.

Inexplicably, Guo An felt something was wrong.

This atmosphere is a bit strange!

"Guo Qing is still in his weak year this year!"

Before Guo An could speak, Zhu Di took the lead and asked.

"Back to Your Highness, I will be twenty-one in a few months!" Guo An replied.

"Guo Qing is not married yet, right?"

Zhu Di said again: "In our Ming Dynasty, those who have not yet married a wife are already very rare. I thought I would marry the princess at sixteen. By the time we reach Guo Qing's age, we already have two daughters and two sons!"

Guo An wore a stiff smile and his cheeks twitched.

Although I’m a little envious, I really want to call him “animal!”

Four children in four years!

No matter how fertile the land is, it will become barren due to plowing!

Zhu Di did not see the expression on Guo An's face, but continued: "I wonder why Guo Qing hasn't married yet? Guo Qing's Guo family should be a big family in Shunde Mansion, and Guo Qing should not be allowed in the family.

You’re still not married at this age, are you?”

Guo An: "Excuse me, Your Highness. When Weichen was young, my father had worried about this matter, but Weichen was frightened by a tiger and wolf girl, so he was delayed.

In the past few years, I have been staying at my old house in Wanping County, so this matter has been postponed!"

"Tiger and wolf girl?"

Zhu Di sat up suddenly and stared at Guo An closely, his eyes filled with the fire of gossip.

"That woman is too tough, or something happened to Guo Qing..."

Guo An was speechless, "Your Highness misunderstood, it's just that the woman is a little fat!"

"Oh~"

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, glanced at Guo An with a half-smile, and said, "So, Guo Qing's health is not serious?"

"..."

Guo An looked at Zhu Di blankly, then his face filled with anger.

"I wonder where your Highness heard the rumors. How dare a thief dare to slander the innocence of this humble minister?"

Zhu Di straightened his expression and hurriedly smiled and said: "Guo Qing, don't be angry, this matter is just our speculation. After all, at Guo Qing's age, he has not yet been married or has any concubines. It is really

It is against ethics.

We have heard that since Guo Qing took office as the magistrate of Wanping County, more than ten wealthy businessmen from Beiping Prefecture wanted to send their daughters to Guo Qing's house, but Guo Qing did not accept any of them!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for worrying about me!"

Guo An slightly bowed his hands towards Zhu Di. He finally understood why Zhu Di suddenly came to look for him!

It turns out that I also want to be a matchmaker!

However, he is not worried about marrying a wife. As for taking concubines? As soon as he opens his mouth, there are many gentry and wealthy businessmen in the entire Beiping Mansion who want to give him women!

Seeing Guo An's indifferent expression, Zhu Di was so angry that he asked again: "I wonder if Guo Qing has a woman he likes?"

Guo An replied honestly: "Reporting to Your Highness, Wei Chen is ashamed. My father has been working on this matter for Wei Chen, so Wei Chen is not too concerned about it!"

"Guo Qing doesn't pay attention to this matter?"

Zhu Di glanced at Guo An with strange eyes, "Guo Qing is already so old, but he still doesn't worry about this matter?"

"Your Highness wants to be a matchmaker for a minister?" Guo An asked directly.

"this……"

Zhu Di didn't expect Guo An to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a while and then nodded, "Guo Qing, as our right-hand official, has not married yet, so we are a little anxious."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Guo An thanked him and said something that made Zhu Di even more delighted, "If your highness acts as a matchmaker for Wei Chen, Wei Chen will be happy!"

"real?"

Unexpectedly, Guo An was so willing. Under the huge contrast, Zhu Di couldn't help but be a little shocked. It seemed that he had begged to be Guo An's matchmaker, and Guo An agreed.

"How dare you, a humble minister, deceive Your Highness!"

Guo An said sincerely.

Indeed, when he has no particular woman he wants to marry, he can just marry any beautiful woman.

Anyway, in this male-dominated era, anyone he marries will be very happy!

Of course, if he dares not to make him happy, he will dare to take in a few more beautiful concubines!

Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing, don't worry. The princess comes from the Zhongshan Palace and knows many ladies. We will definitely let the princess choose a virtuous wife for you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Guo An still looked calm and composed.

On the other hand, Zhu Di is a bit weird no matter how he thinks about it.

This is the first time he has seen someone who is so uninterested in marrying a wife? And, at such an age?

"So, the matter is settled like this!"

However, what Zhu Di didn't expect was that Guo An actually said again: "I have something to report to Your Highness!"

"Guo Qing speaks out!"

"Your Highness, Wei Chen's father has been worrying about Wei Chen's marriage these days. Therefore, Wei Chen is worried that Wei Chen's father has already booked another girl for Wei Chen.

So, if His Highness also finds a good wife for Wei Chen, wouldn’t Wei Chen have deceived His Highness?”

"This is actually a problem!"

Zhu Di touched the beard on his chin, thought for a while, and then said: "In this way, you can write a letter to your father at home tomorrow to explain the situation!

After the autumn harvest, we will let the princess worry about this for you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Guo An thanked him.

At this moment, Zhu Di was in a good mood and asked Guo An again: "Do you have anything else to report?"

"Your Highness, it's still about wool!" Guo An replied.

"wool?"

Zhu Di was stunned, "Didn't we already give you one hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Guo An replied: "Your Highness, I am here to wash the wool!"

In an instant, Zhu Di's expression changed again and again, and he finally remembered the most important part of knitting wool into a sweater.
