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? Even if you are young, 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 one or two years. You are the number one scholar, if Princess Ren feels 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's 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."
"Who are you saying has a bad mind?" Song Ziyu glared at Song Ziling fiercely.
Song Ziling looked around, spread his hands and said, "Besides you, is there another person with a bad mind?"
He felt that there was something wrong with his sister's brain. She said no to such a good marriage between her uncle and Princess Liufang. Besides, was it her turn as a junior to intervene in the marriage of an elder? Her books were read into the dog's belly. Have you gone?
"Song Ziling, you are going too far." Song Ziyu was so angry that his teeth itched.
Song Ziling shrugged his shoulders and said, "No matter how much you go too far, it's not as much as you."
Shen Wan sternly scolded: "Stop arguing! Eat, and those who don't want to eat will go out."
Song Ziyu slapped the table and stood up, glared at Song Ziling fiercely, covered his face and ran out.
Shen Wan took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said, "Okay, leave her alone and eat!"
Being made such a fuss by Song Ziyu, the original joyful atmosphere was diluted, and everyone ate their food without knowing what to eat.
After dinner, Shen Wan went to the Cuiyu Pavilion, but Song Ziyu closed the door and didn't see her. She felt very tired and left, leaving her alone.
Late at night, Shen Wan was lying on the couch, facing Song Heng, and asked: "Why do you think of Ziyu? She has always liked and admired Princess Liufang!" Princess Liufang can be her aunt, she You should be happy, right?
Song Heng said: "I don't understand what that girl is thinking. However, she is really too ignorant and unruly." She is a big girl now and needs to have face, otherwise he will punish her to kneel down. Ancestral hall.
Shen Wan nodded in agreement, it would be great if she were as obedient and sensible as Zi Ling.
However, there should be a reason why Song Ziyu was so opposed. After she finished eating, she wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with her and ask her properly, but the girl didn't even open the door. She really didn't know about Song Ziyu How should I teach her? Song Ziyu is old and has developed his own temperament. He is not close to her at first. If her attitude is a little harsher, Song Ziyu will feel that he is not good to her, and he may even feel resentful. .
Song Heng saw her frowning, so he stretched out his index finger and rubbed the center of her eyebrows and said, "Okay, don't think about it, it's getting late, go to sleep!"
Shen Wan nodded, rested her head on Song Heng's arm, moved into his arms, found a comfortable position, and closed her eyes.
Song Heng smiled, looking at Shen Wan's eyes full of love. He turned off the light, put his arm around her shoulders and closed his eyes.
After breakfast the next day, Song Heng and Shen Ming took a few soldiers out of the city to hunt wild geese in the mountains.
The matchmaker asked for Princess Liufang's Geng Tie and matched it with Shen Ming's birthday.
After the matchmaker completed the horoscopes, she smiled and cupped her hands at Shen Wan and Li: "Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to Mrs. Song. The horoscopes of Shen Zhuangyuan and Princess Liufang are particularly compatible. They are a match made in heaven. Both of their horoscopes are prosperous for each other."
Li Shi smiled and said, "That's good."
Shen Wan winked at Hui'er, and Hui'er understood, took out twenty taels of silver and gave it to the matchmaker.
"Auntie, I'll use this little money to have tea."
"Oh, thank you, thank you." The matchmaker took the money and said to Shen Wan and Li with a smile from ear to ear: "I will send Shen Zhuangyuan's Geng Tie to Prince Ren's Mansion right away. Old Madam and Madam Song You are also ready to prepare all the engagement tokens, and then notify me. I will wait for a good day and then go to Renwang's Mansion to exchange the engagement tokens."
She was also lucky to be the matchmaker between Shen Zhuangyuan and Princess Liufang. She only made two trips back and forth, and she collected hundreds of taels in reward money. Moreover, she became the matchmaker, and her name The news will definitely spread. Why don't all the dignitaries ask her to be a matchmaker?
"Okay." Mrs. Li and Shen Wan nodded and asked the maid to send the matchmaker out.
After the matchmaker left, Mrs. Li rolled up her sleeves, looked at the silver bracelet on her hand and said, "This bracelet was passed down to me by your grandma. She said that this bracelet was passed down from ancestors and was only passed on to her daughter-in-law. If you use this I'm afraid it would be too shabby to make a souvenir."
Shen Wan lowered her head and looked at it. Although this bracelet was of great significance, it was a bit shabby as a betrothal token.
Shen Wan smiled and said: "Mom, it seems that in your generation, the things our family passed down to our daughter-in-law will have changed."
Mrs. Li nodded and said, "It's time to change."
"Let's go out for a walk tomorrow and pick out an engagement token for your future wife."
"good."
As soon as the invitations were exchanged, word spread that Princess Liufang was discussing marriage with Shen Ming. Some were blessing her, some were saying sarcastic words, and some were disappointed and beating their chests.
The person who made the sour remarks was from a family that fell in love with Princess Liufang and Shen Ming but did not get married. The people who were disappointed and beating their chests were all their admirers.
