In the afternoon, when Shen Ming came back from work, Shen Wan had someone call him to Qiushi Courtyard.
"That's what happened. Tell me what you think?" Shen Wan told Shen Ming about Princess Ren and Princess Liufang's visit today.
Shen Ming couldn't believe it. He didn't expect that Princess Liufang would take a fancy to him, let alone that Princess Ren would take the initiative to remind them.
"I'm afraid I'm not worthy of the princess now." He didn't want others to say that he wanted to climb up to Prince Ren's palace, and he didn't want others to say that the princess married someone beneath him.
"Then what are you going to do? You are still young and you won't be promoted that quickly. Princess Liufang is already sixteen. How long do you want her to wait? How long can she wait for you?" Shen Wan looked at him and asked. If If he cares about this or that, he will only miss Princess Liufang.
Shen Ming: "I..."
Shen Wan said: "What my mother and I mean is that if you are also interested in the princess, then we will first find someone to propose marriage, finalize the marriage, and then get married in a year or two. You are the number one scholar, if Princess Ren thinks that You have no future, and you will not take the initiative to remind us. Sister, I can be sure that if you don’t act now, your fate with Princess Liufang will be gone."
"Actually, my sister thinks that as long as you and the princess are in love, you shouldn't worry too much, and don't mind what others say about being high and low. When you get promoted in the future, they will naturally keep their mouths shut. If you meet It is really not easy to find a person who you like, she also likes you, and both parents are satisfied."
Shen Ming thought for a moment, and he didn't want to miss Princess Liufang. As his sister said, if he didn't act now, his fate with Princess Liufang might really be gone. Even Prince Ren's Mansion took the initiative to remind him, and he What's there to hesitate about?
"I listen to my sister."
Hearing this, Shen Wan and her mother Li looked at each other and smiled.
Shen Wan didn't say anything, she just told Song Heng. After hearing this, Song Heng also said that the marriage was very good.
The next day, Shen Wan asked Butler Yun to find a matchmaker, gave the matchmaker fifty taels of silver, and chose a good day to have the matchmaker go to Prince Ren's Mansion to propose marriage.
On August 25th, the matchmaker went to Prince Ren's Mansion to propose marriage. Although Prince Ren felt that Shen Ming was too unsuitable for his daughter, he couldn't resist Princess Ren's persuasion. Knowing that his daughter liked Shen Ming, he nodded in agreement.
After receiving the good news from the matchmaker, Shen Wan asked Hui'er to order the kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes in the evening and announced this happy event to everyone.
"Congratulations, uncle." Song Ziling immediately congratulated his uncle upon hearing this.
Mrs. Liu also smiled and said: "Congratulations to you, Mr. Ming, and congratulations to you from your in-laws. For being able to marry a princess, Princess Liufang is a first-class good girl! Your Shen family is very lucky!"
She really didn't expect that this boy Shen Ming could marry the princess's daughter-in-law. However, no matter how talented he was, he was worthy of a princess. The top picks in the drama were all the consorts. !
"Thank you" Mrs. Li smiled from ear to ear.
Song Heng patted Shen Ming on the shoulder and said, "I'll take a bath tomorrow. My brother-in-law will accompany you to hunt two wild geese in the mountains."
"Okay, thank you, brother-in-law." Shen Ming smiled and nodded.
Ancient people like to use loyal geese as tokens when getting engaged.
"No, uncle, you can't propose marriage to Princess Liufang." Song Ziyu shouted.
"Why not?" Shen Wan frowned and looked at her and asked.
Everyone on the table looked at her with puzzled expressions.
"If it doesn't work, it won't work." Song Ziyu stamped her feet and said. If Princess Liufang marries her uncle, what will happen to her and the young prince?
Shen Wan's expression changed, she looked at Song Ziyu and said, "Who is your uncle planning to marry? How can it be your turn to say no?"
Mrs. Liu also said: "Your mother is right, it is not your turn to intervene in your uncle's marriage."
Song Ziyu looked at Shen Ming and said, "Uncle, tell me yourself, are you, a sixth-grade official, worthy of Princess Renliufang?"
Shen Ming lowered his eyes and looked a little sad. How could he feel better when his niece said he was not worthy of the princess? But she was absolutely right.
"Song Ziyu!" Before Shen Wan could get angry, Song Heng slapped the table.
Song Ziyu shivered in fright and shrank his neck.
Song Heng pointed at her and said angrily: "Have you ever said that about your uncle? Your uncle is a top scholar and has an unlimited future. How come he is not worthy of the princess? The princess and your uncle are also in love with each other. You don't have to. Keep talking nonsense."
Song Ziling looked at his uncle and said, "Uncle, you and Princess Liufang are a match made in heaven, a perfect match made in heaven. My sister has a bad mind, so don't listen to her."
