Yan Dahu looked at the expressions of his brothers and knew what they were thinking.

"Lan Niang is a good woman. She didn't do anything wrong, and she even ruined her own face to preserve her dignity. Even if people stab me in the back every day in the future, I am willing to be with her."

Lu Liang clenched his fists tightly, and he would smash the mouth of anyone who dared to insult Yan Dahu.

"Only the Master, Madam, and Young Master Lu, Madam Lu, Dalin, and Young Master Lu know about Lan Niang's affairs. They will never tell anyone about Lan Niang.

Liu Mei, who was with Lan Niang, and the other girls who left would not mention this matter to outsiders.

The rest is only known to us, and we are unlikely to tell anyone else. Besides, even if outsiders knew, what would it matter?

Back then, at Mount Pulu, the lady was talking about bullshit chastity, saying it was a shackle imposed on women by the moralists. Men could visit brothels and have three wives and four concubines, but why should women be faithful to one man?

The lady also said that if someone points fingers at the victim for this reason, it's because they're cowardly. They don't dare say no to the perpetrator and only dare to vent their fear on the victim. The victim is not guilty; the perpetrators and those who take advantage of the victim's misfortune are guilty.

Yan Erhu and others were ashamed, as if this was something the lady could really say.

Lu Liang looked at Yan Dahu again and asked, "Brother Dahu, are you really so determined that no matter what others say, you can stand in front of Lan Niang and protect her?"

Yan Dahu nodded solemnly: "As long as she doesn't abandon me, I will respect, love and protect her for the rest of my life."

Yan Erhu and others looked at Yan Dahu's determined expression, and understood that as long as Yan Dahu said it, he would definitely do it.

What they have to do is support Yan Dahu's decision.

If they can't even deal with someone who speaks rudely, what's the point of having seven of them?

After thinking this through, Yan Erhu said to Yan Dahu, "Brother, we will go buy the things needed for the marriage proposal tomorrow, and you can just be the groom with peace of mind."

Although Yan Dahu and Lan Niang had both been married before, the engagement process for a second marriage was much simpler than the first, but Lu Liang, Yan Erhu and others still followed all the procedures they had learned.

As the head of the family, Lu Yanyan should not have acted as a matchmaker between the two parties, but she is not an ancient person and does not have so many requirements.

Although he had confirmed Lan Niang's feelings, Lu Yanyan still proposed to Lan Niang on behalf of Yan Dahu as a matchmaker.

Lan Niang naturally agreed.

Since Lan Niang had no family, Qin Yuru took her to Lu's house.

When Yan Dahu went to Lu's house with the two wild geese in his arms, Lu Youtian was extremely jealous. Dalin and Erlin from Lu's family refused to get married no matter what. If he could outrun those two bastards, he would have beaten them up.

After the marriage proposal, the next step is to ask for the name and the luck, and the result of divination for marriage compatibility is naturally an auspicious sign of happiness and longevity.

After the marriage was arranged, Lu Liang, Yan Erhu and others sent the betrothal gifts to the Lu family.

The seven of them spent almost all the money they earned in the past few months on the betrothal gifts.

Yan Dahu is their eldest brother, and Lan Niang is their future sister-in-law, so everything must be done in the best way.

Lu Yanyan and Qin Yuru often teased Lan Niang, but Lan Niang was not a shy woman. She just felt full of happiness.

After the matchmaking, the wedding date was set. Yan Dahu and Lan Niang were not young anymore, so the wedding date was set on the nearest auspicious day, the 18th day of the first lunar month of the following year.

After the matter between Yan Dahu and Lan Niang was settled, Qin Yuru talked to Lu Yanyan about the things that worried the Lu family.

Dalin is already 33 years old and will be 34 next year. Erlin is also 30 years old.

Since the two of them were sixteen years old, Lu Youtian and Yu had been worrying about their marriage.

But because of their backgrounds, how could they be willing to get married?

If the marriage is unhappy, the children will suffer.

Lu Fugui and Qin Yuru had a very good relationship and had Lu Changping the year after they got married.

Lu Youtian began to persuade Dalin and Erlin earnestly again, saying that only a very small number of marriages in the world are unhappy. Look at the Lu family, from his ancestors to Lu Fugui and his wife, each of them is very loving.

Dalin and Erlin thought of how Lu Youtian kept silent when Yu scolded him, and how Lu Fugui was beaten up by Qin Yuru from time to time, and they shook their heads even more happily.

For this reason, Yu endured for two years and never scolded Lu Youtian, and Qin Yuru never beat Lu Fugui again, but Dalin and Erlin still did not get married.

The two of them said that they were the Lu family's attendants, but their indentures had never been filed with the government and were returned to them a long time ago. They were both children of the Lu family.

After the Lu family regained its power, it was easy to find two good girls to marry Dalin and Erlin in Fengxi Town and even Wuping County.

But no matter what kind of woman they were, Dalin and Erlin always found reasons not to like her: this one was too short, that one was too thin, the other one was too pretty...

Not only Lu Youtian and his wife were worried, but Lu Fugui and his wife were also worried.

Dalin and Erlin grew up with Lu Fugui and are like brothers.

The relationship between the Qin and Lu families is as good as that of a family. Qin Yuru grew up with them, and her relationship with Dalin and Erlin is also extraordinary.

Seeing that Dalin and Erlin were both over 20 years old, Lu Youtian decided that he could not let them do whatever they wanted anymore. He directly arranged for the two brothers to marry a pair of sisters from the next town, waiting for them to return and get married.

But after the two of them followed Lu Fugui back from the provincial capital, they heard that they were about to get married. The next day, Dalin left a letter and went to Yuezhou Prefecture.

Erlin got on his horse and said he was going to chase his elder brother. Lu Youtian was so angry that he chased him for a long time, but Erlin, who was always obedient, didn't even turn his head.

After that, Dalin and Erlin did not come back for a long time. Lu Youtian apologized to the sisters' parents in various ways, and that was the end of the matter.

Later, Lu Fugui went to Yuezhou Prefecture and brought the two back.

The two of them were very well-behaved. They knelt in front of Lu Youtian and Yu and allowed themselves to be beaten or scolded. As long as they were not forced to get married, everything would be fine.

Lu Fugui and Qin Yuru understood what the two men were thinking. They were ready to devote their entire lives to the Lu family.

At that time, Lu Changping and Lu Changan had already been born, and they treated their two children better than Lu Fugui and Qin Yuru.

Later, Lu Fugui had a long talk with Lu Youtian, after which Lu Youtian no longer forced Dalin and Erlin to get married, but would occasionally ask them if they had any girls they liked.

After so many years, Lu Youtian gradually gave up the idea. Whether Dalin and Erlin got married or not, they were both members of his Lu family.

In the future, Changping, Chang'an, and their children will regard Dalin and Erlin as their elders.

Dalin and Erlin had long since changed their surnames to Lu, so they were not without descendants.

That's how things should have been.

But Yan Dahu is about the same age as Dalin and Erlin, and his marriage to Lan Niang has aroused the concerns of Lu Youtian and Yu.

The greatest concern elders have for their children is why they haven’t started a family yet.

Qin Yuru has heard the old couple sighing a lot in the past two days, so how could she not be worried too?

Lu Fugui once said that although there is no need to force the two of them, if there is a suitable girl, you can also keep an eye on her, in case the two of them suddenly come to their senses.

Lu Yanyan also sighed when she heard this. Before she was born, Dalin and Erlin were already in her home, and Dalin and Erlin also loved her as much as Lu Fugui did.

If there really is a girl that the two brothers like, Lu Yanyan will naturally try his best to help them get together, but these two are determined not to get married and cannot be forced.

Lu Yanyan could only comfort Qin Yuru. No matter whether it was Changping, Chang'an, Huaijin, Huaiyu and others, they all respected Dalin and Erlin very much. Dalin and Erlin would not be lonely in the future.

Qin Yuru sighed and turned to talk about Lu Yanyan's delicious workshop and the preparations for the Mingxianglou branch.

Mingxianglou's business was so good that Lu Youtian also planned to open a branch so that the two shops could be closer to each other. Mingxianglou would serve male customers, while Lu Yanyan's dessert shop would only serve women and children.

Originally, Yan Erhu was asked to find a shop, but things progressed smoothly and suddenly.

Things went so smoothly that Lu Yanyan began to wonder if he was possessed by the heroine's halo.

But when she thought about the origin of the shop, she couldn't help but sigh...
