Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 505 When will they get married?

As for the head of the Elders' Council, a second round of tests will be launched, with selection through even more stringent procedures.

Therefore, it is conceivable how important this Heavenly Sacrifice Token is.

Stealing, robbing, and auctioning are all perfectly reasonable.

Qin Fang told everyone these details on the way back.

So this is a golden opportunity. The Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony is full of people and trouble. In the midst of the chaos, it might be the perfect chance to find the Wizard's Temple and get the method to break the curse.

After everyone finished discussing, they divided up the tasks.

Gu Qingyue and Mu Yun Chu took Gu Changling to Zhucheng to find a way to break the curse.

Gu Yuanming returned to the Great Chu delegation to stabilize them and slow down the journey as much as possible, waiting for Mu Yun Chu. In Gu Qing Yue's words, if necessary, he would cause some trouble for the delegation and make them stop and wait.

Gu Yuanen naturally had to go along to take care of Gu Changling and participate in the Heavenly Sacrifice.

Needless to say, Qin Fang would definitely go with Mu Yun Chu. Zhang Xu Bai and Zhang Qing Xuan also wanted to see the Heavenly Sacrifice, so they naturally went together as well.

Gu Qingyue instructed Xiao Nian and Feng Shuyan to guard Nian Yuwei and take her with them to Zhucheng. She had known many people in the Wizarding Hall for eight years, so it would be good for them to help.

I heard that we're going to all the cities of Nanzhao together, and Nian Yuwei seems very resistant. Could it be that she'll run into someone she doesn't want to see at the Heavenly Sacrifice?

Gu Qingyue was quite curious.

In the end, it took Gu Qingyue a long talk before she finally nodded.

Everything is ready. The Heavenly Sacrifice will begin in less than ten days, so we must get there as soon as possible.

In terms of time, we can arrive about two days in advance, which is perfect.

That day, Gu Qingyue and Mu Yun Chu sat in Pin Guan Tea House, the largest tea house in Zhucheng, drinking tea.

That's right, it's Qin Fang's teahouse.

Although this teahouse is not the Qin family's largest business, it is Qin Fang's largest business. This Pin Guan Teahouse has branches all over Nanzhao and can be found in every major city.

During this trip, Gu Changling was secretly arranged to stay at the Qin family's villa in Zhucheng, along with Xiao Nian, Feng Shuyan, and Nian Yuwei.

The remaining people were accommodated in an inn not far from the Pin Guan Tea House.

There is a reason for this arrangement.

Because they will inevitably have to appear in a different identity next.

After a long and tiring journey, upon arriving in Zhucheng, Mu Yun Chu took Gu Qing Yue to the Pin Guan Tea House for tea and rest.

Gu Qingyue had only been there a short while when she saw the bustling streets and the crowds of people, and she already felt the difference between Zhucheng and other cities in Nanzhao.

For example, looking around, there are all kinds of medical clinics, and there are a lot of medicine shops of all sizes. The number of doctors and merchants coming and going is not to say that they are as numerous as hairs on a cow, but it is several times more than that of other big cities.

It makes sense, considering that the Nanzhao medicinal herb merchants' association was located in Zhucheng.

I've heard that the Nanzhao Herbal Medicine Merchants Association has practically controlled all the herbal medicine business in Nanzhao, and their business has even expanded to the Great Chu and several neighboring countries.

Clearly, this is no ordinary scale.

It is said that the Chamber of Commerce is currently managed by Pan's Herbal Medicine Shop, but Pan's has always kept a low profile.

The Chamber of Commerce's overall sales to the outside world are handled by Zhang's Herbal Medicine Shop, one of the Chamber's directors. This is the same Zhang Junqian's shop that Mu Yun Chu, disguised as Lin Shao Zhong, visited with Gu Qing Yue last time.

As for Mo Ji Herbal Medicine Shop, which Gu Qingyue was familiar with, it ranked among the top five in Nanzhao, even though they were just ordinary members of the Herbal Medicine Merchants Association.

Of course, Gu Qingyue learned this information from Mo Shaoshang.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Pan, Zhang, and Mo families' ancestral homes are all in Zhucheng.

It is said that Zhucheng is the closest major city to Meigu Mountain, which is a natural treasure trove of medicinal herbs.

Here, unless it is a very rare medicinal herb, you can find it in these mountains, and it is of excellent quality.

At the foot of Meigu Mountain, not far from Zhucheng, there are many villages where people make a living by collecting medicinal herbs, and this practice has continued for generations.

"Ah Yue, what are you thinking about?" Mu Yun Chu asked, seeing Gu Qing Yue staring blankly at the people coming and going outside the window.

Gu Qingyue returned a very pleasant smile, "Do you think my clinic can open now?"

"You want to sit in the clinic and see patients? But A-Yue is busy!" Mu Yunchu paused for a moment, staring at Gu Qingyue's shimmering eyes, and smiled playfully.

Gu Qingyue was bewildered. "When the clinic opens, I'll definitely have to be the one seeing patients at first. Otherwise, should I just hire a doctor to run the clinic?"

She waved her hand, "I have plenty of time, how could I not have time!"

Mu Yun Chu remained silent, listening as Gu Qing Yue continued counting on her fingers, "Look, I'll open a clinic in Lizhou first. When I have time, I'll go and see patients. When I don't have time, I'll have Doctor Zhang and Chai Hu fill in. I'll also recruit some other highly skilled doctors, and that will be enough."

After saying that, she clenched her little fist and said, "This is the perfect opportunity! Look, there are doctors and medicinal herbs everywhere!"

Mu Yunchu's lips twitched upon hearing this. He raised his hand and gripped Gu Qingyue's delicate fingers tightly. "A-Yue, you've forgotten. Your coming-of-age ceremony is coming soon. After you turn fifteen, I will go to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to propose marriage. After that, you will marry me. Then... I won't have time."

Gu Qingyue was taken aback. Her big eyes darted around. She suspected that Mu Yunchu was trying to seduce her, but she had no proof.

They are engaged, that's a done deal, when will they get married?

According to royal custom, after the betrothal, an auspicious day can be chosen for the wedding.

In other words, if Mu Yun Chu were to propose marriage early after her coming-of-age ceremony at the end of August, she could marry him at any time!

At the earliest, in a little over a month.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyue felt a little dizzy.

She has a whole bunch of plans!

She hasn't had a proper look at Moonshadow Pavilion and Dark Blade yet.

Her Wenxianglou restaurant is thriving in Jiangnan, but she hasn't even gone to visit it!

And then there's Yulouchun. According to Liu Feng, Yulouchun has received some important information, and it's selling well; business is booming...

She also wanted to quickly set up a clinic, and she had already thought of a name for it: Jimin Clinic, the same name as her maternal grandfather's clinic in her previous life.

She wanted to continue her grandfather's spirit of helping the needy and needy in this world, to expand and strengthen the clinic, and incidentally, to make some money...

She had so many plans, but she never considered that she would get married so soon.

Seeing the expectant yet apprehensive look on Mu Yun Chu's face as she stared at her, she felt conflicted.

She doesn't seem to be that eager to get married. What's so great about getting married?

Isn't it good as it is now?!

The two can meet anytime, spend time together, kiss, hug, and lift each other up high...

What's the difference?

Seeing Gu Qingyue's conflicted and bewildered expression, Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

How can the way we get along now be the same as how we get married?

This young girl doesn't seem to want to marry him as soon as possible. He has already made preparations for the betrothal and even the wedding, and the betrothal gifts are ready.
