Chapter 344: Proposing Marriage

Early in the morning.

Shen Manman was pulled up from the bed by Nanny Feng.

Then she started combing her hair and changing her clothes.

Shen Manman was sleepy the whole time, and when she woke up completely, she had already changed her clothes.

She had a hanging bun on her head and a ruby ​​and red gold tassel hairpin on one side. She also had lip balm on her face and wore a bright red, flowing chest-length skirt.

Shen Manman looked at the hairpin in the mirror, then looked at the skirt on her body: “Is it New Year’s Day?”

Aunt Feng chuckled and tied a white ribbon around her chest: "It's not the New Year."

"Then why are you dressed like a red envelope?"

"Hahaha, anyway...it's a good thing."

Shen Manman couldn't help but half-closed her eyes and looked at her: "Could it be...I'm going to see the date?"

As she said this, she was a little scared: "No way? I was wondering...why did my aunt come here suddenly...could it be..."

Could it be that during this period of time, she kept saying that her father had become a bad person, so her father got angry and wanted to marry her off?

Or is it that the woman outside Daddy is whispering in his ear and trying to marry her off?

Anyway...I want to marry her!

Shen Manman’s face turned pale.

Aunt Feng felt a little distressed: "No, no. Even if we were to meet, it wouldn't be here!"

After hearing this, Shen Manman's face looked better. That's right, even if Daddy was confused, he would never marry her here.

"What is that?"

"The young lady is here, and she wants to go out and play with you young ladies."

"Oh." Shen Manman breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right, it's a rare trip, it's time to go out and play."

After changing her clothes, Shen Manman jumped out.

In the outer courtyard, Shen Zhiyan and the Marquis Dingguo and his wife had not come long ago.

Shen Manman couldn’t help but be startled when she saw Shen Zhiyan, because she found that Shen Zhiyan was dressed differently today.

In the past, things were very casual. Even though the clothes were made of the best materials, they just made sure they were comfortable. I either wore a hairpin or a headband on my head.

But today he was wearing brocade clothes and a rare silver crown on his head, which made him look even more solemn and noble.

I turned around and saw my uncle and his wife, both dressed very formally.

Shen Manman was wondering, and Madam Hou smiled and said, “Hurry up and get in the car.”

......

The carriage moved slowly along the village road.

Shen Manman and Madam Hou rode in a carriage, while the Shen Zhiyan brothers rode on horses.

Behind him were two carriages carrying gifts.

Shen Manman held her chin up and looked out the window: "Hey, isn't this road the one that leads to the village?"

Madam Hou smiled and said, "Yes, let's go find Madam Ye."

"Ah?" Shen Manman exclaimed, "So you're going to see your aunt! If you're going to see your aunt, why are you torturing me so much? I spent so much time combing my hair and wearing this dress for nothing. Then your aunt will laugh at me for looking like a red envelope or a lantern."

Madam Hou chuckled.

Shen Manman added: "It's rare for the eldest aunt to come here. If he can't think of a fun place, he will take you to play with your aunt? But... it's true that only your aunt's place is fun here."

"You don't know, Auntie, but my aunt has three workshops. Have you ever tried the spicy soup? It's super delicious! There's also a furniture workshop. All the furniture in my house was designed by my aunt herself. And there's also a glass workshop, which produces colored glaze!"

"I've seen them all. There are several translucent bottles on my father's antique shelf. There's also the glass town, both of which were given by my aunt. Isn't it amazing?"

"Yes." Madam Hou was also very interested. "The spicy soup is also sold in Baiweilou in Beijing. I like the taste very much."

"Oh, that's all made with Aunt's ingredients. Although it tastes good, it's not as good as what Aunt makes herself. I'll let Aunt make it for you later!"

Madam Hou smiled and said, "Then I'll have to look forward to it. Ever since I received your letter, I've wanted to meet this Lady Ye."

As soon as Shen Manman heard it, she understood that it was because of her letter that her aunt wanted to come and play with her aunt.

But my aunt didn't understand that these country people were simple and honest, so she asked them to come dressed so formally.

Thinking about it, Shen Manman sighed softly: "It's a pity that my father and aunt can't do it. He has someone outside."

Madam Hou almost choked on her own saliva: "What did you say?"

Shen Manman looked out the window before whispering, “This matter…I didn’t even tell my grandmother in the letter…I was afraid that my grandmother would be mad at me.”

"My father must have secretly kept a mistress outside. Ji Qing even saw them shopping. He also secretly wrote poetry..."

Madam Hou: “…”

Shen Manman said: "Last time I went to the Taoist temple, a Taoist said that he would have a son next year... Humph!"

Madam Hou's eyes lit up: "Really? That's great."

Shen Manman: “…”

She is not happy!

Seeing her pouting, Madam Hou said gently, "Why, Manman doesn't want your father to remarry, or doesn't want to have brothers and sisters anymore?"

Chen Manman held her chin and looked out the window: "I want him to marry, otherwise Daddy is too pitiful. He even knelt down for me before... I also want Daddy to have someone who understands his feelings by his side... But now..."

Now that daddy has a mistress, she is still angry with him. Isn't that too selfish?

Shen Manman pursed her lips: “I just thought, if I marry again…I hope it’s the one I like…If it’s not the one I like, then I can’t say anything more.”

As he spoke, his eyes turned red and his mood became depressed.

She knew that there were some things that could not be changed, or in other words, she could not stop them.

The Marquis’ wife was heartbroken: “Well, maybe things are not that bad after all!”

Shen Manman nodded: “Yeah, I still have my great aunt and grandmother.”

Even if she doesn't like that woman and doesn't get along with her, she still has other family members who love her.

She will get married in the future and won't spend much time with her stepmother.

But no matter what, when it comes to this topic, Shen Manman is still listless.

......

Ye Caiping's house is bustling with activity.

Except for Ye Xuan who went out, everyone in the big house came.

There are only Ye Erquan and Yinhua in the second house, and Wei's mother and son don't know about it yet.

Everyone was dressed formally, in silk clothes.

Ye Caiping was also a little nervous and kept drinking tea while sitting there.

At this time, Guixiang walked in and said with a smile: "Madam Ye, Mr. Shen is here!"

Ye Caiping paused for a moment, "Oh, please come in..."

"Hurry!" Old Lady Ye pushed her, "Go into the room! The person involved cannot be present."

Ye Caiping blushed: "Why? I'm open and honest, I'm not afraid."

"Is that the case? Anyway, you go in first! It's the same if you listen from the room."

Ye Caiping had no choice but to be pushed into the door by Old Lady Ye.

After waiting for a while, Shanzi led Shen Zhiyan and his group of four in.

In addition, Duanwu and Nanny Feng followed behind, holding gifts in their hands.
