Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

After the annual meeting, it was New Year's Eve in five days. Zhang Mo had some free time and spent most of her time with her children. On New Year's Eve, she put on an apron and personally led the children to make dumplings and cook delicious food.

In the palace's kitchen, in addition to Zhang Mo's three children and her nephew Wang Hei who was studying here, there was also Xu Chu's daughter Xu Qi, and Guan Hai's son Guan Hao, who had just learned to walk, also came over to play with the flour.

Xu Chu was Zhang Mo's most capable guard. To make it easier for him to commute to and from get off work, he settled down wherever the palace was. Since they were close, Zhang Mo invited his family of three to celebrate the New Year together. Guan Hai's wife Meixiang was the palace's housekeeper, so naturally their family lived in the palace. However, Guan Hai was often away leading troops and rarely came back.

In addition to Xu Chu and Guan Hai's family, Xu Shu and his mother also celebrated the New Year in the palace.

Zhang Mo's three children were raised by Aunt Xu. Although she was not their biological mother, Zhang Mo had long regarded her as her mother. Xu Shu was not married yet, so she called both of them over to join in the fun.

Looking at the children laughing and playing in the room, Aunt Xu couldn't stop smiling, but as she smiled, she couldn't help sighing in her heart.

Zhang Mo finished wrapping a dumpling and looked up to see that she looked depressed. She asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Aunt Xu shook her head. "It's okay. I'm in good health. It's just that looking at so many lovely children reminds me of your brother Xu. He's already in his twenties and still hasn't gotten married. He's always making excuses and being so busy."

"About this..." Zhang Mo smiled awkwardly, "It's my fault. I'll give him more vacation time next year."

"That's not what I meant. How could I really be too busy to get married? He was just making excuses for me. He..."

Aunt Xu glanced at Amo and swallowed the rest of her words. She had treated Amo as her daughter-in-law back then, and Shu'er understood it in his heart. Unfortunately, that incident happened later, and Amo left Yangdi, and their fate was broken. Now Amo is the mother of three children, but Shu'er still can't seem to let her go.

Seeing Aunt Xu's helpless look, Zhang Mo roughly guessed what she wanted to say next, but could only pretend not to know and said casually, "Things have been a lot more busy in the past two years, and my brother is really busy. Please help him find someone first. If there is a suitable one, I will give him time off to come back for a blind date."

Aunt Xu said hurriedly, "I found someone a few days ago, but her family is too high-class."

"Whose house is this?" Zhang Mo asked curiously.

Aunt Xu moved her chair closer to her ear and whispered, "She's Cai Zhaoji, the daughter of Grand Secretary Cai. When I saw her at the last annual meeting, I felt that she and my son were a perfect match. They were simply a match made in heaven."

"You have good taste, Auntie!" Zhang Mo praised with a smile.

"It's not that you have good taste, it's that her daughter is really good, but..." Aunt Xu said with some embarrassment, "She comes from a good family, and you know my family situation. We're not a good match. I don't think this is possible. I was just chatting with you."

Zhang Mo understood what Aunt Xu meant. She said so much just to let herself, the person Xu Shu might not let go of, act as a matchmaker for him. On the one hand, this would completely break his obsession, and on the other hand, since she was the matchmaker, Cai Yong would not be able to refuse this marriage.

Aunt Xu was able to raise a son with such high IQ like Xu Shu, she must be very smart!

Xu Shu and Cai Zhaoji, apart from their mismatched family backgrounds, are truly a match made in heaven in terms of appearance and talent, as Aunt Xu said. Zhang Mo is very willing to be the matchmaker.

"As long as Brother Xu and Zhao Ji are willing, nothing is impossible. However, Zhao Ji has been married before. Do you mind?"

Aunt Xu was stunned for a moment. "Have you ever been married?"

Zhang Mo nodded. "But the reason she doesn't have children isn't because she can't have them. It's her ex-husband's fault."

Aunt Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "As long as they are willing, it doesn't matter. Emperor Wu's mother was married before she became empress and even had children. As the saying goes, marry a virtuous woman. Although I don't know Zhaoji, the daughter raised by the Cai family must be good."

Zhang Mo said, "Don't worry about Zhaoji's character, I can guarantee that. Why don't I invite Zhaoji to come over and play for a while during the Nuo-chasing ceremony tonight so that they can get along well?"

Aunt Xu clapped her hands and said, "That's great!"

Zhang Mo immediately called the servants to invite Cai Yan. Cai Yong's residence was not far from the palace, and Zhang Mo would usually ask her to come and sit for a while when she was free. Cai Yan did not think there was anything strange about it, so she brought two maids and came to the palace.

After everyone finished making dumplings, a bonfire had been lit in the large courtyard in front. Fang Xiang was dancing the Nuo dance in the middle, and adults and children were gathered in a circle outside. Aunt Xu pulled Xu Shu, who was reading a newspaper in the hall, over and deliberately squeezed in to where Cai Yan and Zhang Mo were standing.

Seeing the main character coming, Zhang Mo apologized to Cai Yan, "I almost forgot. I forgot to make a dessert called Forever Together."

As she spoke, she looked at Xu Shu who had just walked over and said, "Brother Xu, please help me entertain Zhao Ji! I'll be right back!" After saying that, she ran away. Aunt Xu also said to Xu Shu, "I'll go help her, you talk to Zhao Ji!"

Xu Shu looked at the two people who disappeared in an instant, and then looked at Cai Yan who was standing beside him. What else could he not understand? His own mother had gone to great lengths to give birth to her grandson as soon as possible, and even asked Amo to help!

Cai Yan now understood what Zhang Mo meant, especially the dessert that meant eternal love. The meaning was too obvious. She looked at Xu Shu a little embarrassedly. He was a handsome man with a dignified appearance. Although he was a scholar, he was not weak at all and was very manly!

The two greeted each other and both felt a little awkward. Xu Shu had never been in love before, and the only time he had been moved was several years ago. He had no idea how to talk to girls, so he just stood there blankly watching the children play. Cai Yan, because she had been married, was not as shy as an unmarried girl. After a moment of silence, she took the initiative to find conversation with Xu Shu.

Both of them were knowledgeable people. As they chatted, they found that they had many common topics, and the atmosphere naturally became less awkward. They even felt like they had found a confidant. Until the end of the Nuo expulsion ceremony, Cai Yan said goodbye to Xu Shu with shy eyes, and then went to the kitchen to say goodbye to Zhang Mo.

After seeing Cai Yan off, Aunt Xu smiled and pulled her son aside, asking mysteriously, "How about this?"

"What's going on?" Xu Shu pretended to be confused.

Aunt Xu was so angry that she pinched his arm, "You little bastard, you're playing dumb in front of me. Madam Cai, are you interested?"

"She is the daughter of Grand Secretary Cai!" Xu Shu reminded.

"I know her identity. A-Mo said that if you two are willing, she will act as a matchmaker. How can Mr. Cai refuse?"

"You are forcing people by force!"

"Nonsense! Madam Cai was forced to marry you because she didn't want to. I was hiding aside and watching her secretly just now. The way she looked at you was very charming!" Aunt Xu smiled ambiguously.

What do you mean by "very tasty"? What taste? Xu Shu sweated. His mother had been with Amo for a long time, and her speech became more and more strange!

Seeing that Xu Shu still didn't express his opinion, Aunt Xu put on a face full of earnest words, "You are already 27 years old after the New Year. If you don't get married soon, you will be too old. Mother knows that you still can't let go..."

Before she could finish, Xu Shu interrupted, "My son is really too busy. It's not what you think. Look at how busy Ah Mo is and you'll know how much the Tang Kingdom is dealing with right now. My son has studied hard for so many years. Now is the time for him to make great achievements. How can he waste his time?"

"Start a family and build a career. Start a family first and then build a career. No matter how busy you are, it won't delay getting married. Just tell me whether you agree or not. I'll take care of the rest. When the time comes, you can just enter the bridal chamber."

"Mother, you..." Xu Shu looked at her speechlessly. Aunt Xu urged again, "Do you agree or not? Can you please be frank?"

Xu Shu hesitated for a moment, "You can do whatever you want! But don't force Madam Cai!"

Aunt Xu was delighted, "No force, absolutely no force!"
