Chapter 347 Proposing Marriage

Upon hearing what Nineteen said, An Yi chuckled and said, "Well, I won't tell you!" With that, he turned and strode towards the door.

Nineteen called out from behind, "Boss, boss, girl, girl, you're a girl now, slow down, slow down."

Hearing Nineteen shout from behind, An Yi stopped, turned around and glared fiercely at Nineteen, hands on his hips: "Shut up, you want everyone to know?"

Upon hearing An Yi's words, Nineteen quickly covered her mouth: "Boss, didn't you say it yourself? When wearing women's clothes, you should act like a girl. Look at the way you walk now, striding around like that, how can you act like a girl?"

"Alright, alright, I know, shut up. You go first, I'll follow behind." After saying that, he walked to the back in small steps. Nineteen walked in front, with An Yi following behind. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the two arrived at the gate of the manor.

At the entrance of the villa, a group of people dressed in festive attire stood, with several sedan chair bearers carrying two sedan chairs, their waists tied with red ribbons.

When the shopkeeper of the wedding shop saw Nineteen come out, he was about to ask, "Where's your boss?" when he saw a tall woman following behind Nineteen, wearing a fox fur hooded cloak.

Nineteen stepped forward and introduced, "This is my young lady." He then turned to An Yi and said, "Young lady, this is the manager of the wedding shop. He will personally be in charge of our wedding arrangements today."

An nodded without speaking. Nineteen looked around but couldn't find the matchmaker. She then said to An, "Miss, why don't you sit in the sedan chair for a while? When the matchmaker arrives, we'll go to Dong Yong's house to propose marriage."

An Yi remained silent, only nodding, and followed Nineteen's directions to another sedan chair. Nineteen lifted the curtain, and An Yi removed the hood of his cloak. The shopkeeper's eyes widened, filled with doubt and astonishment.

The innkeeper waited for the nineteenth to lower the sedan curtain, then stepped forward and pulled the nineteenth to a secluded spot, pointing to the sedan chair in the dark: "That young lady just now was your boss. You're not lying to me, are you? She was clearly a girl, just a bit taller than a typical girl."

Nineteen nodded: "That girl is our boss. Don't tell me you didn't recognize her; I didn't recognize her at first glance either. What do you think? Isn't our boss's outfit convincing enough to fool anyone?"

But let me tell you, when my boss shows up later, don't just stare at him. If my boss finds out I betrayed him, he won't just kill me, he won't even have enough money to pay for my injuries.”

The shopkeeper nodded. "My goodness! I never expected it. Your boss looks so stunning in women's clothing. He must have inherited his good looks from his mother."

When the shopkeeper mentioned An Yi's mother, Shijiu quickly made a shushing gesture: "Keep your voice down! Don't let our boss hear us. Don't let our boss's carefree attitude fool you, he never mentions his mother. The master says it's taboo for him. Our leader was sold by his mother when he was a child."

The shopkeeper nodded after listening: "I really didn't expect your leader to have such a background. But this trip was truly worthwhile. If your leader were to appear alone outside, I wonder how many young masters he would charm."

Nineteen nodded: "I was also very amazed when I first saw the boss. If my master hadn't told me that he was the boss, I really wouldn't have recognized him without a closer look."

As the two were talking, two black dots appeared in the distance. The black dots on their fingertips got closer and closer, and finally, the matchmaker and the middle-aged man appeared before everyone's eyes.

The shopkeeper pointed at Wang and the matchmaker and whispered to Nineteen, "This is the coal ball you found, ah, no, the matchmaker?"

Nineteen nodded: "Yes, now that the matchmaker has arrived, let's go to the man's house."

Nineteen turned to Wang the matchmaker and said, “Matchmaker Wang, we’re troubling you today. Our young lady has come in person, so please go ahead and speak to her. Our young lady has a noble person in the palace backing her up. This matter will be settled whether it works out or not. In any case, our young lady is determined to have this scholar Dong. As long as no one dies, our young lady will take care of everything.”

Nineteen perfectly portrayed an arrogant and domineering servant. His manner of speaking was impeccable, with his nostrils pointing to the sky and his head held high.

Even the shopkeeper couldn't help but praise him behind his back, saying that this nineteen-year-old was truly a talent, able to learn anything so quickly. He wondered what the effect would be when their leader appeared later. He was really looking forward to it.

Hearing from afar that Nineteen was talking to Matchmaker Wang, An Yi lifted the sedan curtain and saw that Matchmaker Wang had arrived. He then said in a high-pitched voice, "Why aren't you going to propose marriage? What are you waiting for? We can't miss the auspicious time!"

The shopkeeper's voice was so husky, I wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Hmm, what a waste of such a handsome face. His voice was quite peculiar, a bit androgynous, like a palace eunuch.

When Wang the matchmaker heard An Yi's voice, she was also stunned for a moment. Shi Jiu quickly explained, "My master has caught a cold these past two days, and his voice is a little hoarse."

Matchmaker Wang nodded: "I see. That's why I was wondering why that voice sounded a bit like a man's." Then Matchmaker Wang patted her chest: "With me, Matchmaker Wang, on the job, don't worry. And with your words today, this matter will definitely be settled."

So Nineteen nodded to the shopkeeper of the wedding shop. The shopkeeper waved his hand: "Come on, guys, get the music going, get the party going, the more lively the better!"

Instantly, suona horns cleared the way, and gongs and drums resounded as the group headed towards Dong Yong's house.

After about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Nangong Li and Mu Yuyan left An Yi. Mu Yuyan changed into casual clothes and wore a cap, with Nangong Li protecting her. They arrived at Dong Yong's house first, and Nangong Li knocked on the door.

A moment later, Dong Yong came out to open the door. Upon seeing Nangong Li and a woman wearing a cap, he quickly greeted her, saying, "This student greets Your Highness and this noble lady."

Nangong Li was very satisfied with Dong Yong's reaction and said, "Someone will be coming to your house to propose marriage soon. You'd better put on a good performance. Whether your fiancée will wake up today depends on this performance."

"Do you have any other rooms in your house? Rooms with a view of the courtyard outside? I'll sit for a while and see how things develop before I leave."

Originally, if Nangong Li were alone, he planned to find a suitable place outside to watch the play before leaving. However, he was with Mu Yuyan, who was pregnant, and the weather outside was still quite cold. It would be more appropriate to find a room to watch the play.

Dong Yong nodded and said, "Please follow me, both of you." He then led Nangong Li and Mu Yuyan to a south-facing room with a window overlooking the courtyard. By simply opening the window, they could see everything in the courtyard.

As soon as Nangong Li and Mu Yuyan sat down in the room, Dong Yong's mother brought over a pot of hot tea: "Your Highness, this noble lady doesn't have any good tea, but please allow me to serve you both. This is chrysanthemum tea made from chrysanthemums picked this autumn and dried. If Your Highness and the noble lady don't mind, please have a taste." After saying this, Liu Shi and her son took their leave and turned to leave the room.

Nangong Li nodded, poured himself a glass, and took a sip. He then poured a glass for Mu Yuyan, saying, "Please try it; it tastes pretty good."

The two had just finished drinking a cup of tea when they heard the wedding procession approaching from afar. Soon after, the noisy sounds of musical instruments came from outside the door, creating a very festive atmosphere.

Nangong Li smiled and said, "Mother, they've arrived."
