Chapter 1072: Gao Yao, do you want a wife?

Today, Su Xuan let the sisters wait here, so she was waiting here.

As for what the matter was, she did not know; this was not a question she should think about.

She was just the lowest palace maid in the palace, and she was a descendant of the six states, while Su Xuan was different. Although she let herself call him Mr. Su, she had also learned some things about Su Xuan during this period.

That was that Su Xuan had a high status. Although he was not an official, he was an immortal master whom the Emperor favored exceptionally. In private, the Emperor even called him the National Master.

Su Xuan nodded to the woman in front of him and introduced the person in front of him to Gao Yao: "Her name is Xiao Lan. Although the name is a bit vulgar, she is a genuine noblewoman of the six states. She was born into a noble family. After the six states perished, some nobles became commoners, and some were executed by the Qin State, and their family members were sent to the official slave camp and became servants."

"Xiao Lan is one of them!"

"Gao Yao, I have heard that you are not married. Since you can no longer go back, and your fellow townsman Yi Xiaochuan has had emotional entanglements with several women in this era, why don't you also get married in this era."

"Xiao Lan is the good match I have carefully selected for you!"

"Mr. Su, this..." Gao Yao was somewhat terrified upon hearing this.

Arranged marriages were something he could hear about once or twice in the era he was from, but they had basically disappeared, and even if there really were arranged marriages, it had nothing to do with him.

He was nearly forty years old but was not married; was it because he did not want to?

It was because his ability did not allow it.

His parents died early, but he needed to raise his young sister, and he did not have any education. Modern society was also a relatively realistic society, and with his conditions, basically, few women could look up to him.

At first, Gao Yao had thought about getting married, but as time went on, he gave up on this idea.

Watching his sister grow up day by day, his only wish was for his sister to get married and find a good man.

This was also the reason why he did not like Yi Xiaochuan, because no matter how he looked at it, Yi Xiaochuan did not look like a good match.

Gao Yao had not expected that after coming to the ancient era, someone would arrange a marriage for him.

He could not help but look at Xiao Lan in front of him.

The other party was about thirty years old, not a young girl, but compared to him, who was nearly forty, she was already considered young. As for her appearance, it was not stunning, but she had some charm and appeared extremely gentle.

It had to be said that Gao Yao was moved.

At the same time, he was even more grateful to Su Xuan.

He had thought that Su Xuan saying a few good words in front of the Emperor and assigning him a job was the limit, but he had not expected Su Xuan to also give him a wife.

On the other side, the woman named Xiao Lan was also stunned after hearing Su Xuan's words. As a descendant of the six states' nobility, she was born into a scholarly family, so she naturally understood the meaning of Su Xuan's words.

Mr. Su let her wait here today just to bestow a marriage upon her?

Su Xuan looked at the stunned Xiao Lan and said: "Xiao Lan, don't look down on Gao Yao. Although Gao Yao is not very handsome, he is the Chief Steward of the Imperial Kitchen personally appointed by the Emperor, and all the cooks in the palace are managed by him."

"Although you have an extraordinary background, you are just an ordinary palace maid now. According to Qin law, you and many family members are all slave status, but as long as you marry Gao Yao, you can immediately get rid of your slave status, and along with your family members, you can also get rid of your slave status."

"This is a good opportunity; I hope you can grasp it!"

Xiao Lan immediately understood the meaning of Su Xuan's words.

As a descendant of sinners, she and her sister Xiao Yue were both slave status. Under normal circumstances, they could not get rid of it and could only be servants in the palace until they died. Even if they had descendants, they would still be slave status.

But right now, marrying Gao Yao was an opportunity to get rid of slave status.

Whether she could get rid of slave status was not important.

What was important was Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue was still young; could she really be a servant in the palace for a lifetime?

Thinking of this, Xiao Lan's gaze toward Gao Yao became different.

As a descendant of nobility, she understood when she was very young that their marriages could not be decided by themselves. Marriages between nobles were everywhere.

It was not until later that the six states perished, and she became a palace maid, suffering all kinds of torture, and she had never thought of having the opportunity to get married.

Therefore, she did not resist the matter of arranged marriage.

And Gao Yao's appearance was not ugly. Although he was not very handsome, he was a person brought by Mr. Su, and he was the Chief Steward of the Imperial Kitchen; he must be a reliable person.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lan bowed respectfully to Gao Yao: "Yu Lan greets Mr. Gao Yao!"

Yu was her surname, and its origin was extremely ancient, which could be traced back to the era of Emperor Shun.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yao was somewhat terrified and hurriedly returned the greeting to Yu Lan.

Although he was nearly forty, this kind of thing was the first time in his life for Gao Yao.

Under Su Xuan's arrangement, the first meeting between Gao Yao and Yu Lan was extremely harmonious. Gao Yao had no dissatisfaction with Yu Lan, and Yu Lan was also very satisfied with Gao Yao, so this marriage was basically more than half done.

Immediately afterward, Gao Yao saw Yu Lan's sister.

After seeing the other party's sister, Gao Yao was stunned again.

Yu Lan's sister's appearance was more beautiful than Yu Lan's and appeared younger. But the reason Gao Yao was stunned after seeing the other party was not that he had taken a fancy to Yu Lan's sister and wanted to take both sisters.

It was because the other party's appearance was exactly the same as a figure in Gao Yao's memory, with a similarity of fully ninety percent or more.

"Gao Lan?! Why did you come here too?"

After Gao Yao came to his senses, he was very excited and hurriedly stepped forward, shaking the woman's shoulders.

It was not until the woman's cry of pain rang out that he calmed down.

Afterward, through the woman's words and Yu Lan's words, he learned that the woman in front of him was not Gao Lan, but Yu Lan's sister, Xiao Yue. If the surname was added, the full name was Yu Yue, a name with a somewhat strange homophonic sound.

Although he knew this, Gao Yao still muttered to himself: "Like, really like. How can there be such a similar person in this world?"

Thinking of something else suddenly, Gao Yao looked at Su Xuan, who was watching the show on the side.

Su Xuan met Gao Yao's gaze and said lightly: "Gao Yao, are you satisfied with this marriage?"

Gao Yao hurriedly said: "Satisfied, very satisfied!"

How could he not know the reason why Su Xuan arranged the marriage for him? One was that he saw he was a bachelor, and the other was that after he married Yu Lan, Xiao Yue would become his sister-in-law in name.

In this world, although there was no Gao Lan, there was Xiao Yue, a woman who was extremely similar to Gao Lan. Was this not fate?
