Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Chapter 379: Proposing a Marriage on Behalf

Fengshen Yinde asked, "Wu Shudu?"

He Shen said: "Yes, it is him."

Fengshen Yinde said, "I don't want to marry any princess."

He Shen said: "So, you are just a little fool."

Fengshen Yinde said, "How can a princess be compared with Chuntao?"

He Shen said, "A princess and a maid, who is noble and who is lowly? Can't you tell? Dad has already checked. Zhu Junhao's family has been educated for three generations, and he is a commoner. Going back eighteen generations, no one has been an official, and none of his relatives and friends are rich. I think he and Chuntao are a good match. Haha."

Fengshen Yinde said, "So poor?"

He Shen said, "So now you have such a good opportunity to marry a princess, why not seize it?"

Fengshen Yinde said, "But I still like Chuntao."

He Shen said, "Oh, it's a pity. To be honest, Dad originally intended to give Zhu Junhao the chance to be the prince consort, so that you could be with Chun Tao. But things didn't go as planned. As soon as I finished speaking, Mo Li walked in and disrupted my plans."

Fengshen Yinde said: "My son, having Chuntao is better than being a prince consort."

He Shen said, "Ade, you don't look like my son at all. Really? Should you marry Chun Tao or Ge Ge? Think about it carefully. But it seems that you have no choice. After all, the Queen Mother has issued an order."

……

Aunt Tao Sangu was arranging the furniture when two servants came in carrying two round-shaped tables.

Aunt Tao immediately went over and said, "Put it here, put it here, put it here. Don't damage it. This belongs to our top scholar. If you damage it, you'll have to pay for it."

Just then, Mo Li walked in.

Aunt Tao said, "Hey, Mr. Mo. What wind brought you here?"

Mo Li said, "I was just about to go to the He Mansion, and I stopped by to see if Zhu Junhao and Chuntao's matter was settled."

Aunt Tao said, "That's wonderful. My husband Junhao always says that you are the most honest official in the world. Your daughter must also be well-educated, well-mannered, and of high moral character."

Mo Li said, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to the He Mansion." After saying that, he turned and left. He thought to himself that Chun Tao was not his daughter at all, what nonsense.

Tao Sangu watched him leave and wondered if she had done something wrong.

……

Hefu.

Mo Li went forward and knocked on the door. The emperor had given him a task before, to propose marriage to Heshen on behalf of the Eighteenth Princess, so he came here.

After a while, the door opened and a head popped out. It was Liu Quan.

When Liu Quan saw that it was Mo Li, he immediately opened the door and said, "It's you, Lord Mo. I wonder what you want from my master?"

Mo Li said, "I'm here on behalf of the Eighteenth Princess to propose marriage to Master He. Quickly take me to see your master."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Liu Quan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He led Mo Li and walked into the mansion. The mansion was decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, revealing the style of a corrupt official.

The two of them came to the living room, and Mo Li sat down. Liu Quan said, "Master Mo, please wait a moment. I will go and invite my master."

Finished talking and left.

At this time, a servant came over with a tray and placed the two tea bowls on the small table next to Mo Li.

"Master Mo, please have some tea." The servant said, then turned and left.

Mo Li nodded slightly, picked up the tea bowl, tapped the lid against the rim, and took a sip of tea. After a while, Liu Quan walked in with He Shen and Fengshen Yinde.

Mo Li immediately stood up to greet him, bowed and said, "Master He."

He Shen said, "Master Mo, please take a seat. I believe you have come here for my son's marriage."

Mo Li sat down, nodded, and said, "Not bad. So, how has your son considered this?"

Heshen also sat down next to Mo Li and said, "What is there to consider? My son, Heshen, must be chosen as a princess, don't you think?" He looked at Fengshen Yinde.

Fengshen Yinde said, "I...I...I choose Chuntao."
