  Chapter 12: The Cost

  Blue Master was very satisfied, with a smile on his face: "This... um, is a good door relative..." He probably because of Blue's marriage not going well, also became more cautious, and quickly asked: "Is it true that the young master came to you?"

  The old Hanlin smiled and nodded: "Yes, it was Ping'an Hou who brought the young master here. Originally, they wanted to find their relatives, Duke De Xing, as a matchmaker, but since Duke De Xing is not convenient to move around, they found me."

  Lan Jueye felt relieved upon hearing this and nodded with a smile: "It's negotiable, it's negotiable!"

  The old Hanlin smiled and said: "That's good, I'll pass the message to the Ping'an Marquis' residence and ask them to come over and discuss with us. As for this ice man... hehe..."

  Lan Jueye hastily said: "Old Hanlin will be a great matchmaker!"

  This is what they meant by letting Chu Lao Hanlin mediate, and for Zhu Yuhuan's sake, he naturally had to nod in agreement and run errands for them.

  Lao Hanlin had another question, after finishing the story about seeing Lan Jue, he smiled and asked: "Jue just mentioned Yixun's matter, Yixun came to propose marriage, when did you know about this? And... why didn't you mention it again later?" He was a straightforward person, if he had doubts about something, he would naturally ask directly.

  Blue Master also didn't have anything to hide, shaking his head and saying: "It's still the same as the Ping'an Marquis' estate! I was following the Emperor's orders to go on a trip to Jiangnan at that time, and Lord Liu happened to arrive then. As a result, he was pushed away by my wife." He shook his head and said: "Speaking of it, Second Master is actually quite a good person, I hold him in high regard... It's just that after pushing away this marriage proposal, our family's Seventh Young Lady's marriage matters didn't go smoothly. That girl... is as stubborn as her mother!"

  The old Hanlin smiled and asked: "Excuse me for asking, did your wife decline on the spot or say she had to wait for the duke's return to discuss?"

  Lan Jue was taken aback, and hadn't expected him to ask another question. He stared at him in surprise for a moment before answering: "I dodged it on the spot... what about it?"

  Old Hanlin heard that he had pushed it off on the spot, and he let out a sigh of relief, stroking his beard and smiling: "Oh, I see. So, Xuan Chen's child came to our mansion to propose marriage. I've heard about your family's affairs before, but I don't know why they didn't mention it this time, and instead went to our mansion, so I asked."

  The Duke of Lan suddenly realized and hurriedly emphasized: "It was the Empress who refused on the spot! At that time, she had her heart set on letting Seventh Princess enter the palace. When I returned, I complained about it for a while, but during that period, things were especially busy, and the Empress did things without a trace. I didn't dare to mention this matter to Lord Liu again."

  The old Hanlin smiled and nodded.

  Lan Jueye smiled somewhat regretfully and said: "Second Young Master has gone to the manor to propose? This is a good child, don't miss him."

  "Oh?" The old Hanlin smiled in surprise and said: "Sir, what are you talking about? It seems like there's a reason behind this?"

  "I won't hide it from you, old Hanlin, that child, Yun Chen, I myself think he's one of the best among all the imperial clan children... I remember it was two years ago, I went to Shuo State because of some family matters, and there were some things that needed help, so De Yong Duke - Yun Chen's third uncle - had Yun Chen follow me. Those days, running back and forth, I saw his character, steady and reliable, although he didn't speak much, but he got things done, and wasn't as arrogant as other imperial clan children, I liked this about him, and at that time, I took a liking to this child. It's just that their family's main consort... sigh, you know how it is with imperial clan matters, unclear. At the time, our third son and fourth daughter, fifth daughter's marriages were being arranged, and it was all so chaotic, so I put this matter aside for the time being."

  "Who knows, we missed it... Our children and he are not destined to be together," said the Duke of Lan with a sigh. He turned his head to look at Old Hanlin and smiled: "So I advise Chu Shao to not miss such a good child."

  The old Hanlin's face was filled with wrinkles from smiling, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's right."

  ……

  The Seventh Miss of the Blue Family finally had a conclusion. The old Hanlin, who was suspicious of Zhu Yuetan's regret for the marriage in his heart, was a misunderstanding on this side of the Blue House. He felt greatly relieved, although the Qiu family still didn't know what was going on, but the old master had already thought about what to do next. Therefore, both old masters' moods improved. The old Hanlin and the Blue Duke came out, Zhu Yuetan hurriedly went forward and kowtowed three times as an apology, and the Blue Duke also came forward to help him up personally. This matter was considered settled.

  In the evening, Old Hanlin invited Blue Duke to Chu Mansion for dinner, which was considered as Zhu Yuhuan's apology banquet.

  Originally, they were going to invite Lan Gongzi as well, but Lan Gongzi was young and arrogant, and he knew that his father had easily let off Zhu Yuhuan, so he was very dissatisfied. When the Chu family invited him to a banquet, he didn't even bother to respond, and he even got angry with Duke Lan!

  This made the Blue Duke feel embarrassed, and during the banquet, Zhu Yuhuan repeatedly apologized and gave the Blue Duke a few cups of wine, finally resolving the small grudges between the two families. As for the Blue Young Master's side, he couldn't care less, his father had already calmed down, what else could he do? Of course, Old Man Chu said it very aptly, in front of the Blue Duke, he repeatedly reminded Zhu Yuhuan to apologize to the Blue Young Master in person and make sure to dispel his anger.

  Zhu Yuhuan nodded in agreement without hesitation.

  The matter of the Blue Duke's household was satisfactorily resolved, and neither Zhu Yuhuan nor Zhu Yucai were in a hurry to return. The two had finally come out, and they had done so with the emperor's permission, openly and honorably; why would they want to rush back and be confined again?

  Zhu Yi Huan also had many young masters and princes as friends in Beijing. Now that the grudge was settled, it was time to find some friends to have fun with, chat and relax. Among them was Xu Ming Ting, the third son of the Xu family, who had a particularly good relationship with Zhu Yi Huan and Zhu Yi Chen. Naturally, he would not be left out as the host.

  That day, he booked the Fude Wine House in the city just for him and invited a large group of princes and nobles. Zhu Yuhuan gladly accepted the invitation and went there. A group of young masters spent half a day eating, drinking and having fun at the wine house.

  Because he was invited by Zhu Yuhuan, he couldn't help but be toasted repeatedly by them. After noon, Zhu Yuhuan felt that he had drunk a bit too much and his heart was racing 'thump thump thump'.

  At this time, a young master saw someone he knew on the street and shouted loudly to call out. Zhu Yuhuan didn't quite hear who the person was shouting at, but soon saw him pull over a person, and his heart sank slightly. It turned out to be Lan Da Gongzi.

  Lan Da Gong Zi originally had a smiling face, but as soon as he saw him, his face suddenly sank and he coldly snorted, turning to leave.

  "Hey, don't go! Let's all get together and have some fun, why be so gloomy?"

  Xu Mingting knew about the grudges between Zhu Yuhuan and the Lan family, but he didn't know that the eldest son of the Lan family was still angry. He only knew that the grudges between the two families had been resolved, so he smiled and went forward to pull him along: "Just in time! Let's have a couple of drinks with Yuhuan here and be friends again!"

  Zhu Yuhuan saw that they had already bumped into each other, and he also wanted to resolve the situation, so he smiled and picked up his cup to prepare for a toast. But before he could say anything, Lan Da Gongzi heard Xu Mingting's words and suddenly flung out his hand, angrily shouting: "Who is friends with him!" He pointed at Zhu Yuhuan and said: "I'm telling you, Zhu Yuhuan! My father forgave him because of his loyalty, but don't expect me to spare him too! For the humiliation our family suffered, I will definitely return it a hundredfold!"

  Zhu Yanhuan's face fell as soon as he heard it. He was originally a straightforward person, but today he had drunk a bit too much, and what Lan Dabozi said was a bit over the top. He wasn't someone without temper either, so he got annoyed and said: "If you want to take revenge, just come on! I'm waiting!"

  Xu Mingting saw the commotion and quickly came up to mediate, but Lan Dabozi was furious, pointing at Zhu Yuhuan and scolding him loudly. Zhu Yuhuan was annoyed and stood up to confront him, but the people around them rushed over to pull them apart, speaking in a soothing manner to calm them down, and eventually managed to persuade Lan Dabozi to leave the wine house with a mix of persuasion and pushing.

  Zhu Yuhuan sat down with a huff, looking angry. Xu Mingting came over and shook his head, saying: "As soon as I heard that he had offended him, I knew it was going to be bad. This Blue Young Master is notorious in our circle for having a bad temper! He doesn't have any magnanimity at all, far inferior to his father!"

  Another young master came over and said: "Yes, having offended him, he can remember it for a lifetime! Huihuan, in the future, when you see him, just keep a distance."

  Xu Mingting said, "Don't be angry anymore. Reasonably speaking, this matter is not owed to them. It was originally a mutually willing thing. They are the female side, so we just gave them some face and came to accompany them as a courtesy. If it were the male side seeking marriage and the female side refused, would they still have to come to apologize? From now on, let's just ignore him!"

  Zhu Yuhuan's fire energy subsided a bit at this time, and he nodded slightly.

  Since Lan Da Gong Zi was being unreasonable and overbearing, he didn't bother to reason with him anymore. If he wanted to get angry, then so be it!

  Zhu Yuhuan and Zhu Yueting are busy with what, Chu Lao Hanlin didn't care, after all, he is the young prince, in the capital city, shouldn't there be some good friends? Visiting relatives and friends is also necessary.

  He went back and told Chu Nancai what Lan Jueye said about Zhu Yucheng, and Chu Nancai listened with a stunned expression: "I've investigated it myself, and indeed it's true... Did Master Lan say it himself? Then we misunderstood Yucheng?"

  Chu Lao Hanlin nodded, he didn't want to speak ill of his own grandson, but he wasn't a fool either. The struggles in the imperial court were even more intense, and it was impossible for him to be so naive that he still didn't understand what Zhu Yizhao meant by those words.

  The old man sighed and said: "Call someone to go to Shuozhou immediately and order Yixun to come over!"

  Chu Nan immediately responded with a "yes" and went to find someone to pass on the message, not daring to be slow.

  Zhu Yichan was also anxious, and he thought that a few days would be enough to settle the matter. However, it had been over ten days since then, and there was still no news from the Chu family. He wanted his uncle to come over, but he was afraid that if he did, it would seem like he was rushing things, and might offend Old Master Chu and Chu Nanchao. So although he was anxious and couldn't sleep at night, he could only grit his teeth and wait.

  Waiting for the servant from the Chu Mansion to come and find him, as soon as he heard Master's order to go over, he knew that there must be another twist, so he didn't delay for a moment, reported back to his mother Concubine Liu, and immediately rode his horse towards Beijing.

  It is by.
