Summary
The week after Lan Xichen turns twenty-three, he is told that the elders have decided it is time: the matchmaker has been called.
Sect Leader Lan must find a wife.
It will, he is assured, simply be a process of him dictating his perfect woman to the matchmaker who will find the girl and make suitable introductions. Zewu-jun is, after all, the First Jade of Lan; who would refuse him?
This is less comforting than it’s supposed to be because Lan Xichen is left with the awkward, mortifying ordeal of considering the prospect of a wife, and all the books on the subject are, well, unhelpful for a man of his temperament.
It is his greatest challenge yet, so, naturally, he ropes all his brothers into it – willing, unwilling, unwitting.
(Shufu is simply grateful there are no more Explanations required. Twice was twice more than enough.)
