Chapter 369 A Heartbreaking Wedding

Two quarters of an hour later.

The bearded guard rushed over and whispered a few words in Zhao Muyun's ear.

Zhao Muyun swallowed the half-mouthful of wine he had in his mouth in one gulp.

He was so frightened that he coughed for a long time.

With great difficulty, she managed to regain her composure and asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say?"

The bearded guard bowed to him and grinned broadly.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations! Her Highness the Princess has consulted with three doctors and confirmed that she is three months pregnant!"

Zhao Muyun roared to the sky, "Hahaha, good! Good! Good! I'm going to have a legitimate son, hahaha!"

The guests in the front yard immediately responded.

Congratulations were offered repeatedly.

The unpleasantness between the Jiang family and the Wu Yue Ni clan regarding the succession immediately vanished.

The news of the princess's pregnancy came at just the right time.

The smile on the face of the head of the Ni family of Wuyue froze.

I couldn't help but think to myself, "We don't even know if it's a man or a woman yet."
After confirming that she was three months pregnant and hearing that the baby's pulse was very strong and powerful, indicating a 90% chance it was a boy, Ms. Jiang held her daughter and cried bitterly.

Zhao Ran couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

In the past few months, she has been under just as much pressure as her mother.

"Mother, you don't need to worry about anything from now on. Just focus on taking good care of yourself during your pregnancy. Leave all the household management to your daughter."

"Alright, alright, it's time for you to learn how to manage a household, otherwise you'll be disliked after you get married. Since you don't like your cousin, that's fine, but your maternal grandfather brought a lot of talented men this time. Once your pregnancy is stable, we'll help you find some."

Zhao Ran: She has no interest in anyone except for one person right now.

As the legitimate daughter of the King of the Northwest, the young girl does not yet have a deep understanding of her current status in the Northwest.

Not only her maternal clan was helping her carefully select a son-in-law.

Even the head of the collateral branch of the Wu Yue Ni family in the front yard immediately changed direction.

The position of heir apparent has not yet been decided.

One can always think of a suitable candidate for the position of the legitimate daughter and son-in-law.

Jiangnan is not only wealthy, but also full of talented people.

Those stories of talented men and beautiful women in traditional Chinese novels have been passed down for thousands of years.

I refuse to believe that among so many scions of noble families, there isn't a single person who can become the son-in-law of the King of the Northwest!
The evil winds from the Prince's mansion cannot reach the border town.

The Gan family, who had never seen heavy snow before, have certainly broadened their horizons this year.

The colder it gets.

The mutton soup restaurant is doing booming business.

The number of sheep slaughtered daily has risen to twenty.

Sheep that have grown to this age by feeding on doggrass not only have increasingly tender meat, but are also plump and strong.

Drinking a big bowl of piping hot, milky-white mutton soup keeps your hands and feet warm all day.

Families with slightly better financial conditions truly cannot live without this.

to this end.

The gourmets of Huaiqing Prefecture had many complaints.

I really hope that Ganweixian will open another mutton soup branch in Huaiqing Prefecture, just like Zuixiangju.

The Gan family, however, has consistently refused.

The profits from the hand-shredded roasted rabbit seasoning at the two Zuixiangju restaurants, the revenue from Ganweixian mutton soup restaurant, and the money from selling grass seeds at Xilu Ranch this year—after deducting the half given to their daughter—have easily brought the Gan family's savings to over ten thousand taels.

In less than a year, he earned what his family had earned in most of their previous lives.

What else?
If they keep opening branches and expanding, they'll really be insatiable.

Gan's parents did not want to hold their daughter and son back.

The only thing the elderly couple can worry about now is their two sons' marriages. Because of the incident where their engagement was called off, they don't want to rush their eldest son.

Gan Mingshou, who was right under their noses, suffered the consequences.

The young man spends his days working with cattle and sheep on the ranch.

He not only developed a muscular physique.

It was also tanned several shades darker by the wind and sand.

He already looks somewhat like someone from Northwest China.

The Gan family had a great-aunt who was a valiant general.

The Gan family owns a mutton restaurant that makes a fortune every day.

The Gan family also has a handsome young man who is not yet engaged.

The handsome young man manages the largest ranch in the entire border town.

The women in the border town all wanted to be the mothers-in-law of the handsome young men.

During the Lunar New Year holiday when Ganweixian was closed, matchmakers practically wore down the doorstep of our house.

Gan Mingshou was so embarrassed that he almost exploded on the spot.

Gan's mother grabbed her son and asked, "What kind of wife do you want to find?"

Gan Mingshou thought for a long time:
"I don't know, but I don't want someone like my brother's ex-fiancée, from the Qi family! Ideally, she should be someone whose temperament you can get along with, Mother."

Gan's mother put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes at her son:
"That young lady from the Qi family wouldn't even look at someone like you! Don't bring your mother into this. I have a very good temper and get along with all kinds of daughters-in-law!"

Gan Mingshou ignored her mother's glare and grinned:

"No, Mother! You actually hate those young wives who talk in circles, cry at the drop of a hat, and are more cunning than lotus roots. You've learned a lot from us how those young wives cause trouble."

Gan Mu: "."

The saying "Too much talk leads to mistakes" is indeed true.

After a moment of hesitation, he said, "I know, I'll find you someone with a straightforward temper and a frank way of speaking! What about appearance? There has to be some description of height, weight, and build, right?"

Gan Mingshou really had requirements: "Ideally, she should be neither too tall nor too short, neither too fat nor too thin, and only half as pretty as my sister."

Gan's mother: "Get out of here!"

The mother is truly heartbroken over her unfortunate son.

Gan's father dismissed the conversation between the mother and son, and when his wife turned her anger on him, he repeatedly shifted the blame: "His brother isn't even married yet, what's the rush for him?"

Yes.

Is there any chance at all that Gan Mingfu, that brat, is getting married?

Gan Minglan was quick to help her parents.

Now that Gan Mingfu was slightly tipsy, the siblings had a rare heart-to-heart talk.

"What, still thinking about your ex-fiancée?"

"Sister, that's not true! I've only seen her a few times, and I can't even remember what she looks like."

"Then why do you keep spacing out like that? Which lady are you thinking about? After you finished creating the miniature sand table of the entire Western Regions, your official rank was promoted to commander of a thousand men. I don't believe that there are any girls in the Nine Guards of Guanzhong who wouldn't want to marry you."

Gan Mingfu only felt that the aftertaste of the wine was starting to turn bitter.

It was so bitter that his eyes stung.

After a long pause, she said sullenly, "Sister, only you think I'm good."

Gan Minglan was surprised that her younger brother actually had a romantic relationship, and asked curiously:
“What’s wrong with you? A commander of a thousand men under twenty years old, there are only a handful in the entire Northwest! You have the talent to become a scholar, and you have a bright future in martial arts. Moreover, our Gan family has a clean and upright family tradition, a small and wealthy population, making us the best choice for a husband.”

"But, but that young lady comes from a good family, has a good temperament, and is beautiful. She deserves the best man in the world."

Gan Minglan became even more curious, and she pondered in her heart which young lady would meet this condition.

Finally, filled with surprise and doubt, he widened his eyes and asked, "Brother, you wouldn't have taken a fancy to General Xiong's young lady, would you?"

Gan Mingfu: "."

What happened to the promise of siblings being of one heart?
