This was not written by Jin Zijin, it was written by Yue Rujing.
They've been back in Lingnan for a while now, but with the long journey, judging by the time, this was probably a letter sent just a few days after they arrived in Lingnan, maybe just to report their safety. Gu Youyou didn't think much of it, and tore open the sealed wax.
Yue Rujing's letter was quite extensive. First, he reported his safety, and then he said he was getting married, to form an alliance with Nanzhao, as per the emperor's decree.
Gu Youyou frowned. Getting married is one thing, but why emphasize it's the emperor's decree?
Having spent a few months with Miss Duan, Gu Youyou felt Miss Duan was actually quite nice.
Miss Duan had a carefree personality and admired Yue Rujing so much, so she thought their days wouldn't be too hard. In her view, Yue Rujing's reluctance to marry was mostly because of his long stay in the Taoist temple, where his heart had become calm like still water.
