"Yes!"
After a somewhat shy acknowledgment, Yue Fei turned and walked away. After giving a few instructions to his subordinates, he returned to Han Mo's side.
Although he was actually a few years younger than Yue Fei, under the guise of his thick skin and status, when they were together, he acted more like an elder.
"My Lord, why have you come?"
Seeing Han Mo again, Yue He's face lit up with a smile.
"I'm here today to be a matchmaker for Pengju. I wonder if Uncle and Aunt are willing?"
"A matchmaker?"
Upon hearing Han Mo's words, Yue He was completely stunned.
"Of course, we are willing. He's not young anymore and should have settled down long ago. It's just that we've been displaced all along, it's really..."
As Yue He spoke, Yue Fei's mother, Madam Yao, quickly chimed in.
"Yes, yes, yes. We just don't know which young lady My Lord is referring to?"
Reminded by him, Yue He also immediately reacted and quickly asked with a smile.
"You actually know this person. Do you remember the young lady from the Liu family back in Yue Family Village? That young lady specifically asked Zhong Ji Yi to write a letter. Since my classmate agreed, I naturally couldn't stay out of it. So I had to make this trip, I just don't know if you two are willing!"
There was nothing to hide about such a matter, so Han Mo stated the facts plainly.
After all, when their Yue family fled from Neihuang County, they were carrying official charges.
The fact that the young lady remained loyal at this time already explained a lot. Such a loyal woman was not easy to find in this world.
"So it's that girl. We are willing, but with the current war and chaos, and that girl being so far away in Hebei, at this time..."
Yue He said this with a troubled expression. For ordinary people, this was indeed the most realistic problem facing them.
War and chaos, and a long distance. Who knew what would happen along the way?
Even if the two of them agreed, the marriage might not be settled anytime soon.
"You don't need to worry about this. As long as you agree, I'll handle the rest!"
Seeing their worried expressions, Han Mo smiled and said directly.
"Then we thank you, My Lord. That girl is loyal and righteous, and she also has a healthy physique. Strictly speaking, she's more than enough for this boy!"
Upon hearing Han Mo's words, their last concerns were completely dispelled, and the two immediately agreed with a smile.
"If that's the case, then I'll have someone handle it. How are you living in Mingzhou City recently? Are you used to it?"
"We're used to it, of course we are. What kind of fuss do we farmers make? Thanks to My Lord, we have enough to eat and wear every day, and we live in such a large house. How could we not be used to it!"
Yue He was a typical man from Hebei, speaking with great frankness.
Furthermore, the treatment Han Mo provided was indeed excellent. Outside Mingzhou City, he had specifically found them a large three-courtyard house.
He had also bought them fifty mu of fertile land, and two shops in the city.
Even if they did nothing each month, renting out the two shops to others, along with the rent from the shops and the income from these 50 mu of land, would be enough for their family to live comfortably.
With such good days, let alone in Mingzhou, even if they were sent to the Northwest, they would have been willing.
"That's for the best. Since neither of you has any objections, I'll have someone write the marriage contract and prepare the betrothal gifts, and then I'll send them to Hebei to pick up the young lady along the way. We'll have a grand celebration in Mingzhou City!"
"My Lord, that's certainly good, but it's a pity for the Liu family..."
Yue He was, after all, a kind-hearted man, and even at this time, he was still thinking of others.
"You don't need to worry about this. With Zhong Ji Yi there, they won't be able to bear hardship. If there's a grand celebration here, there will naturally be one there too. Even if Pengju can't make it, there will still be a grand ceremony there! We won't let the Liu family lose face locally, you can rest assured of this."
"Thank you, My Lord!"
After listening to Han Mo's words, Yue Fei's eyes turned red. He immediately knelt before Han Mo on one knee.
Seeing his gratitude, Han Mo felt a sense of smugness.
Indeed, true feelings of old cannot be kept, only strategies win people's hearts. With Yue Fei's personality, he would likely never escape his grasp.
"Get up, get up. We hit it off from the start, and this is just a matter of friendship. If you make such a big bow, aren't you belittling me?"
Although he felt smug, Han Mo did not stop his actions and quickly went forward to help Yue Fei up.
This was a future pillar of support, a crucial link in his upcoming plans. Even though he had basically secured him, the follow-up maintenance work was still necessary.
It was better to enjoy such a good talent himself than to leave him to be ruined by those unprincipled princes of the Zhao family.
After having dinner at the Yue family's house, Han Mo returned to his own residence late at night, slightly drunk.
"My Lord, this is news just received from Bianliang City!"
As soon as Han Mo entered the door, Jiang Yan stepped forward and quickly handed him a long box.
"Is there anything that can't wait until tomorrow?"
Rubbing his slightly sore temples, Han Mo frowned and said.
"This is news delivered by Manager Zhe, who rode 10 horses to death through the trade routes. Your subordinate dared not delay!"
"Go get me a basin of cold water!"
Hearing him say this, Han Mo took a deep breath and said quickly.
"Yes!"
It was winter now. Although the weather in Mingzhou was not as cold as in the north, the icy well water at night still made one's head ache.
After quickly washing his face with cold water, Han Mo felt much more awake, and the hazy alcohol was directly thrown to the nine heavens.
Returning to the study, after carefully examining the seal and wax on the box, Han Mo took out a small key from a hidden compartment.
He removed the seal and opened the lock, revealing a small booklet inside.
