My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 307 I was first! I was clearly first!

Yang Changchu and Erzhu Yuechan are indeed different.

If it were Erzhu Yuechan, knowing that Gao Yu was right beside her, she would definitely not stay obediently in her own residence; she would definitely try every means to run to Gao Yu's side.

Women on the grasslands are not bound by so many rules of etiquette, nor do they care about such things.

Gao Yu arrived in Taishan County that night.

He didn't visit the Yang family until the next day.

"General, you've come to see me in such a hurry, there must be something you need?"

Yang Changchu could tell what was going on just by looking at Gao Yu's travel-worn appearance.

"Indeed, I have a favor to ask of you, young lady."

Gao Yu smiled wryly; only Yang Changchu could help him with this matter.

Seeing this, Yang Changchu dismissed his attendants and leisurely poured Gao Yu a full cup of tea. "Even when facing an army of 300,000, General, you were not afraid. What could possibly make you so anxious?"

Gao Yu did not hesitate, "His Majesty has bestowed a marriage upon me."

Yang Changchu's hand paused for a moment, but then resumed normal movement. "The daughter of the Central Army General?"

"Ah."

Gao Yu nodded and said softly, "His Majesty has further elevated your rank, bestowing upon you the title of Lady of Taishan County."

"This is all thanks to the general's prestige. Otherwise... even if my Yang family has some influence in Taishan County, how could we have received such an award?"

"Brother Zuxin, there seems to be some misunderstanding..."

“General, there’s no need to put yourself in such a difficult position. I understand your current situation, and I know my brother’s temperament, so I can understand your difficulties.”

Yang Changchu remained as understanding as ever, speaking softly and gently, which calmed people's hearts.

Moreover, when something happens, Mei Yangyang really helps her handle it and clean up the mess.

Gao Yu reached out and pulled her into his arms, a delicate fragrance wafting towards him.

He owes Yang Changchu a great deal.

He made people wait in vain at Mount Tai for nine years, during which time there was even a long period of no news. He then parachuted into Shandong. The Yang family and Yang Changchu made great efforts.

"I……"

"I understand the General's difficulties, but... how does the General intend to treat me?"

Yang Changchu looked up, her gaze deep and unfathomable, and said softly, "How many nine-year periods does a woman have? Does the general intend for me to wait another nine years? I fear that by then the general will be surrounded by beautiful women, while I will have grown old and faded."

How could there be no complaints?
How could they possibly not consider their own needs at all?
You have to seize the opportunity to express your grievances; the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Gao Yu pursed his lips, hugged her tightly, and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation. I will certainly not let you down."

The wedding is imminent.

Whether it's Erzhu Yuechan or Yang Changchu, they need to give an answer as soon as possible.

This way, no one will make trouble for their marriage in the future.

As for Yang Changchu's arrangements, he had already made plans. Although it was only a compromise, it was the only way to appease the Erzhu family, the Yang family, and even the Shandong aristocratic families at the moment!
"Then I will await the general's good news."

Overwhelmed by emotion, Gao Yu lowered his head and kissed Yang Changchu; it wasn't the first time.

Although Yang Changchu's movements were still clumsy and he seemed a little unaccustomed to it, compared to the time the two reunited, he still knew how to take the initiative and cooperate, letting the 'fish' swim into his mouth on its own.

Just now.

A series of footsteps sounded, somewhat spoiling the mood.

The two quickly separated, only to discover that it was Yang Kan's wife, Pei Zhirou, who was watching them.

Yang Changchu blushed and ran away, leaving Gao Yu alone, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Greetings, sister-in-law."

Pei Zhirou maintained a calm expression, but still spoke up to remind him, "Chang Chu is deeply devoted to the General and has helped the General a great deal. Shouldn't the General give Chang Chu a proper title?"

"That's how it should be."

Gao Yu nodded, "Please rest assured, sister-in-law, I will definitely give the Yang family an explanation."

"I am just a woman, and I only feel sorry for Chang Chu. If I have offended you with my words, I hope you will forgive me, General."

"How dare I, how dare I..." Gao Yu was embarrassed, but he managed to persuade Yang Changchu.

Once Gao Yue brought Gao Loujin over, he came to the Yang family to propose marriage!

........................

The eighth day of the seventh lunar month.

At the normal pace, it may take some more time.

However, with Erzhu Yuechan urging them on, Gao Yue and his group's pace greatly increased.

"Hong Lue, I've heard that the daughter of the Yang family in Taishan admires Erlang greatly?"

They'll all be my future sister-in-law, how should I answer that?
Gao Yue knew he couldn't hide it; the more he tried to cover it up, the more likely he was to achieve a bad result.

"Yes, the young lady from the Yang family knew my brother many years ago, and it seems that he fell in love with her at first sight back then."

Erzhu Yuechan gave a noncommittal hum.

Who is not?

She then pressed on, "So she should be in Taishan County right now?"

"Correct."

Erzhu Yuechan's eyes darted around, as if she had a good idea. She immediately leaned over and whispered, "Honglue, have someone continue to escort my elder sister and the others to Qingzhou. You take a few personal guards and escort me to Taishan County."

"what?"

Gao Yue was in a dilemma for a moment.

Why is Erzhu Yuechan charging over so aggressively?

If something were to happen between the two future sisters-in-law, wouldn't I be putting Gao Yu in danger?

Just when he was caught in a dilemma.

Erzhu Yuechan explained, "His Majesty has already bestowed a marriage upon Erlang. I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gao family! The young lady from the Yang family will also marry into the Gao family in the future. I'm going to take a look beforehand. Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for Erlang."

"This……"

"I'm not asking you for a suggestion. If you don't take me, I'll go by myself!"

"Send it, send it, send it."

How could Gao Yue dare to let Erzhu Yuechan, a woman, go to Taishan County alone?
She had no choice but to obediently follow Erzhu Yuechan's instructions.

He took ten personal guards, broke away from the main force, and rode swiftly to Taishan County.

After Gao Yue revealed his identity, he was invited into the mansion. Yang Changchu soon came out to see him, but... he saw a beautiful woman dressed in Hu clothing staring at him with unfriendly eyes next to Gao Yue.

The clever girl quickly understood.

He immediately dismissed his attendants and greeted them with a smile, "So you must be the daughter of the General of the Central Army?"

"Exactly!"

Erzhu Yuechan nodded and said, "So you are the young lady from the Yang family? I've heard you're in love with my husband?"

Gao Yue, feeling a bit overwhelmed, quickly made an excuse to slip away.

Faced with Erzhu Yuechan's aggressive tactics.

Yang Changchu simply smiled calmly, "Not yet married, isn't it a bit premature to call someone 'husband'?"

"so what!"

Erzhu Yuechan proudly raised her chin, "I met Erlang first, whether it was meeting him or falling in love at first sight! I was first!"

"I saw Erlang on his first journey to Luoyang!"

Yang Changchu smiled, "What a coincidence? I was also..."

"But if we're talking about love at first sight, I'm afraid I fell in love with you earlier than you, young lady. Besides... I've been waiting at Mount Tai for a full nine years, unlike you, young lady, who has been able to see Erlang every day these past few years."

P.S.: July will begin right after midnight, so please give me all your monthly votes!

Please, godfathers!
