Chapter 342: Proposal Tomorrow

They went into the house and chatted for a while. Lady Dingguo was really tired and wanted to go back to the house to rest.

Shen Zhiyan sent Marquis Dingguo and his wife to the courtyard.

Madam Hou laughed and said, "You have been hiding this from this girl. That's not right."

Shen Zhiyan touched his chin and said, "This girl is getting older day by day, but her character hasn't improved at all. She needs to be taught a lesson."

Madam Hou laughed and said, "You really want to play a trick on her, right?"

"That's not true."

The Marquis’s wife snorted. It would be strange if she believed him! "So when is the marriage proposal date?"

Shen Zhiyan said: "I have already chosen it, November 10th or November 12th, let her pick one."

"Isn't this tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?"

"Um."

"That's fine. Propose the marriage sooner, offer the engagement sooner, and get married sooner."

This time, the marquis' wife even brought a betrothal gift.

When I received the letter from Shen Zhiyan, saying that he wanted to marry Ye Caiping.

The entire mansion was about to explode.

Everyone sighed, saying that he was indeed Shen Zhiyan, always doing great things quietly.

Manman had been beeping there for half a year, but there was no trace of her anywhere.

It still has to be Shen Zhiyan!

Upon receiving the news, the old lady immediately asked people to prepare the betrothal gifts and arranged for the marquis's wife to come in person to propose marriage. If it weren't for her old illness that made her unable to endure the constant carriage ride, the old lady would have flown here on her own.

Shen Zhiyan returned to the yard and asked Duanwu to go out.

......

Ye Caiping is looking at the first batch of finished products in the glass workshop.

"Madam Ye." Shanzi ran in. "Brother Duanwu is here. He said he wants to see you for something."

"oh."

Ye Caiping said this and walked out.

When I left the workshop, I saw Duanwu waiting there, smiling: "Hello, Madam Ye."

As Ye Caiping walked towards home, she said, "You came at the right time. The first batch of finished products in the workshop is very good. If nothing unexpected happens, all the glass for the mansion will be produced in the next few days."

Duanwu smiled and said, "Wow, that's great. Then we can install it before the old lady's birthday. Then we can introduce the glass ceremoniously at the old lady's birthday banquet."

Ye Caiping was delighted when she heard this: "So...what do you want to talk to me about today? Is it to urge me to get the glass?"

"No, no! Hey, it's our eldest wife who's here! She's the Marquis's wife, my master's sister-in-law."

Ye Caiping was startled, looking a little shy: "Oh, it's Madam Hou. Then..."

Duanwu came up and whispered, "Master, everyone is here! The betrothal gifts are all ready, when can we propose marriage?"

Ye Caiping put her hands behind her back: "Well...anytime."

"Okay. My master said that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is a good day. Which one do you like, Madam Ye?"

Ye Caiping froze in her tracks: "Is this... too fast?"

"Hurry up, hurry up. If you delay any longer, you won't be able to make it in time for the old lady's birthday party."

Ye Caiping understood that Shen Zhiyan wanted to take her to Beijing to meet her future mother-in-law during the old lady's birthday and the New Year.

Duanwu said, "But if Madam Ye thinks it's too fast, I will tell the master that it can be done next year."

next year? Ye Caiping gritted her teeth and said, that won’t do!

Ye Caiping silently calculated the time in her heart.

There are only two good days left this year: tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!

If you propose marriage tomorrow, you can give the engagement the day after tomorrow! If you want to be quick, then be quick!

Ye Caiping coughed dryly: "Okay then... let's do it tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go back first. After all, there are too many things to prepare. Madam Ye, I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, Duanwu left happily.

Ye Caiping felt happy yet a little nervous when she thought about the proposal tomorrow.

Shanzi said: "Madam Ye, you haven't told the old master and the eldest master about your relationship with Mr. Shen yet! The marriage proposal will be made tomorrow..."

Ye Caiping's face froze: "Then... go and tell it now."

As he said this, he walked forward.

......

When I got home, the Jin'er sisters were already back.

Mrs. Du and Jinhua were also there, chatting with Old Lady Ye in the main room.

Jinhua said, "Jin'er, the flower crown on your head looks really nice."

Ye Jin'er touched the ruby ​​tassel on her head and said, "This is a gift from Madam Hou. Where is Manman's aunt?"

Mrs. Du was startled: "Miss Shen's aunt?"

Old Mrs. Ye was sewing a shoe sole. When she heard this, she stopped sewing and her eyes lit up: "Mrs. Shen is here? That must be..."

Why did Madam Shen come here suddenly out of the blue?

As he was speaking, Ye Caiping walked in. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that her face was flushed and she looked a little sneaky.

"Sister-in-law and Jinhua are here." Ye Caiping walked to Old Lady Ye. She originally wanted to talk to Old Lady Ye about proposing marriage, but she was embarrassed to say it with so many people around.

Jinhua, Xiaoyan and others were talking about the embroidery shop.

Ye Caiping was anxious. After all, it was already afternoon and she had to prepare early.

After thinking for a while, he pulled at Old Lady Ye's clothes: "Mom, I want to tell you something..."

"What?"

"Go back to your room and talk..."

Old Mrs. Ye nodded doubtfully: "Okay."

So he took Old Lady Ye to his room and closed the door.

Mrs. Du, Jinhua, Xiaoyan and others looked at each other, wondering what the mother and daughter were whispering about.

Just as I was curious, suddenly there was a burst of voice from Old Lady Ye: "What did you say? Mr. Shen will come to propose marriage tomorrow?"

Mrs. Du, Jinhua and Xiaoyan were all stunned. What did they hear?

Ye Caiping in the room blushed: "Mom, keep your voice down, shush!"

"What are you talking about? If you keep quiet, I won't come to propose marriage tomorrow."

Ye Caiping's face froze: "Come..."

Ye Caiping regretted so much that she wanted to eat her fingers. She should have told all her family members about what happened between them earlier.

Old Mrs. Ye glared at her with both joy and anger: "Go, get out!"

Having said that, he pulled Ye Caiping out of the room.

When Ye Caiping came to the main room, she saw Mrs. Du, Xiaoyan and Jinhua staring at her in amazement.

Ye Caiping's face was frozen, but she finally just laughed out loud: "Chen Zhiyan will come to propose marriage tomorrow, and I should get married after the Chinese New Year."

Mrs. Du, Xiaoyan and Jinhua: "..."

Jinhua was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head: "What did my aunt say? Mr. Shen, propose marriage?"

Oh my God, my aunt is getting married?

And who is this person? Mr. Shen? Is it the Mr. Shen she knows?

Mrs. Du and Xiaoyan had guessed this long ago, and when they saw it come true, they laughed.

Mrs. Du said, "Your aunt said she is going to get married. Mr. Shen is that Mr. Shen! You even studied in his house!"

Jinhua gasped, "Is it Mr. Shen who taught my second brother to become the top scholar? Mr. Shen who won the first place in the imperial examination at the age of seventeen? His brother is Mr. Shen who is the Shangshu."

Ye Caiping's face flushed: "Stop talking about Mr. Shen's name!"

I don’t know why, but I didn’t think it was a big deal when I heard them call me that before, but now when I hear these three words, I always feel embarrassed.

Jinhua looked at Ye Caiping and said, "Aunt, I understand. I immediately changed my words and said uncle."

Ye Caiping almost fell over. That’s not what she meant!

As he was talking, Old Man Ye suddenly rushed out of the room: "What did you just say? Caiping is getting married? Did I fall into a trance?"

I woke up from my deep sleep with a start, and suddenly heard the sound of my daughter getting married!
