Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1320 - 541: Matchmaking (Part 2)

An Zhichen laughed, "You said there would be a war in the Northwest that year, so I partnered with someone to set up a few horse farms. When the war broke out in the Northwest, these horses sold for a good price."

Yueyao’s eyes widened. This basically meant that raising horses made over two hundred thousand taels: "Just raising horses?" Yueyao prided herself on having a knack for making money, but compared to An Zhichen, she was nothing.

An Zhichen laughed, "Raising horses made nearly two hundred thousand, plus there’s my salary. Kexin is growing up, and in a few years, she’ll be getting married, so this money is just right for preparing her dowry." An Zhichen knew that Yueyao had substantial income each year and their family wasn’t worried about money. Still, this was his intention as a father.

Yueyao laughed, "I’ve already been saving good things for her over these years!" Yueyao was never worried about silver coins, and now with such a large sum of money, she felt even more financially secure.

An Zhichen suddenly remembered, "Has there been any talk about a marriage proposal for Gu You and Gu Lan?"

Yueyao shook her head, "I’m quite worried about this! The ones I found for them didn’t meet their satisfaction." They weren’t interested in marrying a steward, for example.

An Zhichen said with a smile, "Da Tong has taken a liking to Gu You. Da Tong and Ah Kai have been with me for many years, and I’m planning to send them out to make something of themselves." Sending them out meant they would have a good future.

Yueyao’s eyes brightened, "Great, then I’ll ask Gu You about it." Da Tong might seem simple-minded on the outside, but Yueyao knew that anyone An Zhichen favored wasn’t foolish. Gu You, following him, might live a young mistress’s life.

An Zhichen said, "Once the matters in the mansion are settled, have Yuehuan meet Dazhuang! Dazhuang will likely be transferred and not remain in the Capital City. If Yuehuan is also interested, then choose a day to get things settled and have her go to his post with him when the time comes."

Yueyao thought for a moment, then said, "I’ll have her come over tomorrow. If she agrees, let them meet in the next couple of days?"

An Zhichen nodded, "Sure."

Yueyao was preparing to sleep when An Zhichen came close and gently asked, "Is it okay now?" After being a monk for six years, he could endure it when his wife wasn’t by his side, but having to endure when she was beside him was testing his patience.

Yueyao softly responded with a hum.

The next day, Xiang Wei asked Gu You about the main house’s situation, and upon hearing that water was requested twice one night, Xiang Wei was relieved. It had been a few days since they returned, and the quietness made Xiang Wei worried that An Zhichen might have been injured in a way that affected his manhood. It’s not that Xiang Wei was overly worried, but such things were not uncommon in wars. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

After sending An Zhichen and her two sons out, Yueyao turned to Xiang Wei and talked about Yuehuan’s matter: "Did you look into Zeng Dazhuang as I asked? How did it go?" Yueyao trusted An Zhichen, but she felt that men and women had different focus points. As Yuehuan’s lifelong affair is concerned, it was better to be cautious.

Xiang Wei nodded, "The person chosen by the Old Master is quite good. He’s loyal and righteous, keeps himself clean, very fond of his daughter, and there are no issues with his character."

Yueyao nodded slightly, "If that’s the case, have someone invite Yuehuan over, and I’ll talk to her about it."

Xiang Wei laughed, "Alright. I hope you can convince her."

Yuehuan roughly guessed the reason when she heard Yueyao had asked her over, so she changed her clothes and followed the maid to the An Mansion.

Yueyao noticed that Yuehuan had lost some weight, but she looked very well. Yueyao smiled and said, "You probably know why I asked you to come."

Yuehuan nodded, "Third Sister, did he agree not to take concubines?" Yuehuan thought with such conditions, most men wouldn’t agree.

Yueyao shook her head, "I didn’t tell your brother-in-law about your condition of him not taking concubines. I only mentioned your other two conditions."

Yuehuan was surprised, "Why?"

The little maid brought in tea and snacks, and also quite a few fruits. Yueyao took a grape, peeled it, put it in her mouth, chewed, and then said after swallowing, "I think your condition is meaningless, so I didn’t mention it to your brother-in-law."

Yuehuan didn’t understand why Yueyao said that.

Yueyao laughed, "Even if he promises now not to take concubines, once he decides to, can you stop him?" Yueyao thought such promises were self-deceiving.

Yuehuan was left speechless.

Yueyao continued, "Yuehuan, Lord Zeng is a disciplined person. His first wife has been gone for five years, and he hasn’t taken another woman by his side, nor visited brothels or similar places. So, if you want him not to take concubines, it’s not a difficult task; it just depends on your ability." Since his character and other aspects were commendable, if Yuehuan wanted him not to take concubines, it would depend on her capabilities.
