Two days later, everything was ready. Shangguan Jing and his wife, along with Chu Laosi, led a group of servants and matchmakers carrying generous betrothal gifts and set off towards the Sheng family in a mighty procession.

Along the way, Chu Laosi's heart was in his throat, he was both excited and nervous.

Shangguan Jing smiled and comforted him: "Fourth brother, don't panic, we are here to propose marriage with sincerity, the Sheng family will definitely be satisfied."

Finally they arrived at the gate of Sheng Mansion. Sheng Lin and Madam Sheng were already waiting at the door with a group of servants.

Seeing Shangguan Jing and others coming, Sheng Lin hurriedly bowed and greeted them: "Prince Jing, Princess Jing, please come into the palace quickly."

Everyone entered the mansion and took their seats in the main hall one by one.

When Sheng Lin and Mrs. Sheng saw the generous betrothal gift, they were shocked and sincerely satisfied.

The official media spoke first, all smiles:

"Sir Sheng, Madam Sheng, today I, an old woman, have been entrusted by the Jing Palace to come and ask for the eldest daughter of the Sheng family to marry, and to facilitate the marriage between the Fourth Master Chu and your daughter.

Fourth Master Chu is a handsome man, and he is deeply in love with Miss Sheng. Prince Jing’s Mansion is also very courteous. This marriage is truly a match made in heaven.”

Shangguan Jing continued:

"Sir Sheng, Madam Sheng, my fourth brother has a good character and will treat Miss Sheng well in the future. I hope you will accept these betrothal gifts."

Sheng Lin couldn't help but say, "The betrothal gift from Prince Jing's Mansion is really generous. Our Sheng family is flattered."

Shangguan Jing smiled and said, "Lord Sheng, this is the importance that my Jing Palace attaches to Miss Xuan'er, and also the importance that we attach to this marriage."

Madam Sheng also nodded and said, "We deeply feel the sincerity of Prince Jing's Mansion."

Qin continued:

"We all hope that the two children can be happy. These betrothal gifts are just a token of our appreciation. Once the marriage is completed, my Jingwang Mansion will treat your daughter as a treasure. I hope you will agree to this."

Madam Sheng nodded and suggested, "Why not let the two children see each other and then make a decision?"

"Mrs. Sheng is right. Marriage is to improve the relationship between the two families, so of course we have to see it." Qin knew that this was just a formality, so she responded gently.

At this time, Sheng Yixuan, accompanied by her maid, came to the main hall. She bowed slightly with a shy look on her face.

Old Fourth Chu quickly stood up and looked at Sheng Yixuan gently.

Sheng Yixuan raised her eyes and happened to meet the affectionate gaze of Chu Laosi. Her heart suddenly beat fast and she quickly lowered her eyes.

Seeing this, Chu Laosi raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a gentle smile.

He took a step forward and said softly, "Miss Sheng, how are you?" Although his voice was soft, it was full of concern and joy.

Sheng Yixuan nodded slightly, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Thank you for your concern, Fourth Master."

Chu Lao Si summoned up his courage and continued, "Last time, Miss Sheng fell into the water. Is she seriously injured?"

Sheng Yixuan's cheeks became redder and she responded in a low voice: "Thank you, Fourth Master, for saving me that day. Xuan'er is fine now."

At this moment, everyone in the hall was looking at the perfect couple with smiles on their faces, their hearts filled with joy.

Chu Lao Si took out a white jade hairpin from his bosom, handed it to Sheng Yixuan, and said, "This is a little item I prepared for you, Miss. I hope you like it."

Sheng Yixuan took the hairpin and found it was an orchid hairpin, crystal clear and lifelike. She said softly, "Fourth Master is thoughtful."

The two of them exchanged a few more heartfelt words, their eyes met, affection flowed, and after a brief look, Miss Sheng was sent back to the side hall.

Seeing that the two were getting along well, Madam Sheng followed them to the side hall and asked her daughter with a smile, "Yixuan, what do you think of Fourth Master Chu?"

Sheng Yixuan lowered her head shyly and said softly, "My daughter thinks the Fourth Master is very good."

On Chu Lao Si's side, Shangguan Jing also asked, "Fourth brother, are you satisfied with Miss Sheng?"

Chu Lao Si hurriedly replied: "Second brother, I am very satisfied. I will marry Miss Sheng in this life."

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

The official media took the opportunity to say:

"Since both of you are satisfied, why don't we set a good date? What do you think?"

The two families handed their birth dates to the matchmaker, and Shangguan Jing smiled and said, "I'd like to ask you to help pick an auspicious date for the two of them to get married."

The official media took it with a big smile, looked through the almanac, and said to the people: "Replying to the nobles, the 20th of this month, the second of February, and the tenth of August are all good days. I wonder which day you prefer?"

Shangguan Jing and Qin looked at each other and said with a smile, "Since the two families want to form a good relationship, we respect the Sheng family's wishes and let the Sheng family decide the date. How about that?"

Sheng Lin and Madam Sheng were very grateful for King Jing's attitude, knowing that it was a great respect for the Sheng family.

Sheng Lin said:

"It is now the twelfth lunar month, and my daughter will have to spend the New Year at home. I would like to keep Xuan'er until after the New Year to marry her off.

So, how about we set it for February 2nd?"

Shangguan Jing heard the date chosen by Sheng Lin and said with a hearty smile:

"On February 2, the dragon raises its head. This is a very auspicious day. Very good, very good!"

Qin also nodded happily in response:

"That's right. This day is auspicious and will surely bless the two children to have a smooth and happy marriage."

Chu Lao Si was so happy that he couldn't help himself and said excitedly: "It's great to be able to marry Miss Sheng on February 2nd. Thank you Lord Sheng and Madam Sheng!"

Sheng Lin smiled and said, "It is an honor for my Sheng family to marry into the Jingwang Mansion. I just wonder if it is too hasty as the day is approaching?"

Shangguan Jing said: "Don't rush, don't rush, my Jingwang Mansion will make sure everything is ready and will never let Miss Sheng down."

Qin also nodded and said:

"Yes, Lord Sheng, our family will definitely hurry up with the preparations and make sure the wedding goes smoothly.

If Miss Sheng doesn't have time to prepare her wedding dress, we have wedding supplies in our store and can send her a wedding dress and matching supplies."

Madam Sheng smiled and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, Princess Jing. The wedding dress should be prepared by us, the bride. Although time is tight, it should be completed."

I have a stomachache today, that's all. Sorry, friends.
