Chapter 186: Finding a Husband
Chapter 186: Finding a Husband
The news that the Minister of War had been reinstated spread throughout the streets and alleys.
When Gan Luo learned of this information, he was naturally a little surprised. He originally thought that the Minister of War's authority had been restored long ago, but he did not expect that it would take so long to be restored, and that it was only after the Minister of War himself had requested it.
More importantly, Gan Luo has learned another piece of news: the governor's youngest daughter is currently looking for a husband.
When Gan Luo learned of this news, he was naturally shocked by the governor's youngest daughter. Gan Luo had a vague impression of her, having met her once before, but it was only a brief encounter. More importantly, the governor's youngest daughter was quite well-educated and sensible.
Gan Luo then naturally arrived at the governor's house.
When the governor saw Gan Luo, he respectfully bowed to him.
"I heard that the Governor's daughter is currently looking for a husband, is that right?"
The governor was surprised that the news had spread so quickly that even Gan Luo knew about it.
I initially intended to deny it, but then felt there was no need to, and ultimately admitted it.
“My daughter has come of age, and I wish to arrange a suitable husband for her. However, she rarely associates with young men from noble families, so I came up with this idea.”
The governor's youngest daughter had arrived at this time. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, she was graceful and poised, befitting a girl from a modest family.
"I have met Her Highness the Princess."
Speaking in a soft, gentle voice, Gan Luo couldn't help but ask the governor's daughter's name.
"Your Highness, you may not know, but my daughter's name is Lan Yan."
Why isn't this surname the same as the governor's? The woman's surname is slightly different.
The governor replied to Gan Luo, "Your Highness, you may not know this, but my daughter takes her mother's surname."
Gan Luo is now essentially looking for wives for his former male lovers.
Gan Luo believed that Kong Hong would definitely attend as well.
"I wonder what kind of man the young lady likes?"
The governor was puzzled for a moment by Gan Luo's question. Could it be that Gan Luo wanted to find a husband for his daughter?
If Gan Luo truly wanted to find a husband for his daughter, the governor would naturally agree, since Gan Luo's judgment was never bad.
More importantly, if he finds a husband for his daughter, and his daughter is mistreated in the future, Gan Luo can stand up for her. Why not do that?
"Your Highness, as far as I am concerned, as long as the two people are in love, that is enough."
Is it really that simple? Gan Luo was genuinely surprised.
"I don't know when this matchmaking event you're planning to hold will start."
The governor only informed Gan Luo that an auspicious day had been chosen, which would be the third day of the following month. There were still three or four days until the third day of the following month, which seemed a bit rushed.
However, since it had already been stated that this was an auspicious day, the group admin naturally didn't say anything more.
"Does Your Highness wish to attend? If Your Highness wishes to come, you will certainly be welcome."
"I'll see if I'm free at that time."
After Gan Luo left, Lan Yan told the governor, "Isn't the world saying that Her Highness the Princess is a ruthless killer? And extremely fierce and menacing? But after seeing her like this, Her Highness doesn't seem to be like what they say at all."
At this point, the governor replied to Lan Yan that sometimes you have to see with your eyes and feel with your heart, rather than just hear from others.
"However, this princess is really too beautiful to be a national disaster."
Her face was truly stunning. Who would stand beside such a woman in the future? For some reason, Lan Yan felt a little expectant at this moment.
Gan Luo came outside, and Lin Fengmian jumped down from the wall.
"Your Highness, I really don't understand why you came here, and why you would participate in their matchmaking event."
Gan Luo smiled faintly and briefly explained the situation to Lin Fengmian, who then understood.
Gan Luo was trying to win over the ministers and prevent them from harboring too much hostility towards her.
The atmosphere in the court now seems to be better than before.
After all, there were a few officials in the imperial court who were Gan Luo's confidants.
At this moment, a group of people dressed in black appeared in front of them. Lin Fengmian could clearly sense that this group of people were the same ones who had tried to assassinate him earlier.
Lin Fengmian drew his sword from his waist, while Gan Luo naturally took out his whip as well: "Who are you? What is your purpose in coming here?"
Unexpectedly, this group of people dressed in black told Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian that they were not there to kill them.
Gan Luo was a little puzzled, but the leader simply spread his hands and said, "I wonder if this young master would like to show everyone the jade pendant at your waist?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Fengmian had already refused outright.
"If you want the jade pendant in my hand, then step over my body."
Upon hearing Lin Fengmian's words, they sighed helplessly in their hearts. Now, obtaining Lin Fengmian's jade pendant was truly as difficult as ascending to heaven.
At this moment, one of them planned to rob it here, but unexpectedly, Gan Luo struck him to the ground with a whip.
"I am still here, and you still want to try to steal it? Did you even ask for my opinion? I only want to ask you one thing: who are you and what is your purpose? My patience is limited."
Faced with Gan Luo's series of questions, the leader remained silent and led the group away from the place.
Lin Fengmian and Gan Luo were chasing each other here, but they didn't expect to end up in a bustling market area.
When they arrived, they found that the leader had already disappeared. Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian looked around and could only hear the shouts of the merchants.
"Damn it, I didn't expect them to get away again." Gan Luo frowned.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
"I believe they will definitely make a comeback, and one day I will discover their identities. Let's return to the princess's residence now."
If Gan Luo's guess was correct, their target was Lin Fengmian. Gan Luo then warned Lin Fengmian to be careful in the future.
Lin Fengmian felt a warm glow in his heart when he suddenly heard Gan Luo say this.
"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will be careful."
Gan Luo had only said something to show his concern, but he didn't expect the kid to be so happy. It has to be said that Lin Fengmian is really too easily satisfied.
