This is an ancient setting, double male lead novel with a fictional backdrop, 1V1, and both protagonists are pure.
Due to a brawl between two villages, Shen Zhen accidentally met a young scho...
Qian Amo is a well-known matchmaker in the nearby villages. However, because Shenjia Village and Wujia Village are not on good terms, people from Wujia Village will not come to Shenjia Village to find Qian Amo when they want to propose marriage.
But He Jinshu's situation is different this time. The person he wants to marry is from Shenjia Village, and it was Qian Amo who proposed the marriage before. It would be perfect to ask him to help propose the marriage this time.
So Grandma He walked to Qian Amo's home in Shenjia Village.
On the other side, after Shen Zhen returned home, he loudly announced to everyone in the Shen family: "I'm getting married."
Upon hearing this, Mother Shen asked in surprise, "Brother Zhen, has the young scholar agreed to marry you?"
"Yes, mother, Ah Shu said he will come to propose marriage tomorrow." Chen Chen nodded and said happily.
"Is it true? He won't fool you, right?" Brother Shen asked doubtfully.
Chen Zhen patted his chest and said proudly: "Of course not, Ah Shu would never lie to me."
Didn’t I cheat you last time? Brother Shen thought to himself.
"Did he say when he would come to propose marriage tomorrow?" Shen's mother asked from the side.
Chen Zhen thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "He didn't say anything. He just said he would come over to propose marriage tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Mother Shen asked suspiciously, "Brother Zhen, could it be that the young scholar really is deceiving you? Proposing marriage requires bringing betrothal gifts, and it's best to come before noon. Does he still have time to buy betrothal gifts?"
When Chen Zhen heard this, he said uncertainly, "No way? Ah Shu said he would come to propose tomorrow. No, I want to ask him about the betrothal gift."
After saying that, he ran out of the house without waiting for anyone in the Shen family to say anything.
Mother Shen looked at his back as he ran out the door and said with a headache, "I don't know who he resembles with this impetuous temper." No one in their family has this kind of personality, except Shen Zhen.
Not long after Chen Zhen ran out, he met Grandma He who came here to look for money on the way.
When Chen Zhen saw Grandma He, he asked curiously, "Grandma He, why are you here?"
When Grandma He saw that it was Chen Chen, she said lovingly, "Is it Chen Chen? I came here to ask for Aunt Qian. Isn't Jinshu going to your house to propose marriage tomorrow? I came to ask Aunt Qian for help."
When Chen Zhen heard this, he knew that He Jinshu would definitely come to the house to propose marriage tomorrow, so he smiled and said to Grandma He: "You should have told me just now that I could bring you here in a carriage. Walking is so tiring."
Shenjia Village is three or four kilometers away from Wujia Village, and it takes about half an hour to walk there.
When Grandma He heard this, she smiled and said, "It's okay. I've been staying at home for a long time, so it's a good time to get out and move around."
"Then I'll accompany you to Aunt Qian's house. When we go back later, I'll drive you in a carriage." Chen Chen said to Grandma He.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Chen." Grandma He responded. It just so happened that she didn't know where Qian Amo's home was exactly, so it would be helpful to have Chen Chen's help.
After sending Grandma He to Qian Amo's house and discussing the matter, Chen Chen drove the carriage to take her to Wujia Village.
After parking the car, Chen Chen helped Grandma He get out and said to her, "Grandma He, please help me call Ah Shu out. I want to talk to him."
"There's no need to call him out. Why don't you come in with grandma and sit down with him for a while?" Grandma He said, holding Chen Chen's hand.
She thought that this boy was really nice and a good and polite child.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen politely declined, saying, "Grandma He, it's getting late. I'll just say a few words to him and then go back. I won't go in. I'll come and chat with you next time."
Grandma He looked at the sky and saw that it was indeed getting late, so she said to Chen Chen, "Okay, grandma will help you call him out." After that, she walked into the courtyard.
After a while, He Jinshu came out. When he saw Chen Chen, he asked calmly, "What do you want from me?"
When Chen Chen saw him, he smiled and asked, "Ah Shu, when are you going to buy the betrothal gifts tomorrow? I'll take you there in a carriage."
After saying this, he put on a stern face and said, "You are not allowed to refuse. It's very tiring to walk to town. I will feel bad for you."
"Come and pick me up at 3:15 AM tomorrow morning." He Jinshu said directly.
When Chen Zhen heard this, he said happily: "Okay, then I'll go back first, and we'll see you tomorrow."
He Jinshu just nodded slightly when he heard this.
Chen Chen got on the carriage with a happy look on his face, and then went back to the Shen family to announce the good news.
The next morning, Chen Zhen got up early and made breakfast.
He made a few egg pancakes, rolled some side dishes in them, and then wrapped the pancakes in oil paper. He then filled a bamboo tube with some corn and red date porridge and drove out in his carriage.
After Wu Jiacun received He Jinshu, Chen Zhen took out the egg pancake from his arms and handed it to He Jinshu, then said, "Ah Shu, eat it quickly. This egg pancake is still warm. There is corn porridge in the bamboo tube next to the stool. Have some too."
He Jinshu took the omelet from Chen Chen's hand and asked in a cold voice, "Have you had breakfast?"
Chen Chen said indifferently: "I'm fine, I'll eat later."
He Jinshu frowned and said, "Pull the carriage over and have dinner first before going to town. It won't take a while."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen said happily, "Okay, Ah Shu, I'll stop the carriage once we're out of the village. The road over there is wider."
After saying this, Chen Zhen thought happily in his heart that Ah Shu still cared about me and was worried that I didn’t eat breakfast and was afraid that I would be hungry.
He Jinshu didn't know what was so good about this, he just felt that this person was a little weird.
After parking the carriage, Chen Chen entered the carriage and had breakfast with He Jinshu.
"I made these egg pancakes and corn porridge early in the morning. How do you think they taste?" Chen Chen asked He Jinshu while eating the egg pancakes.
Upon hearing this, He Jinshu just nodded lightly and didn't say much.
Seeing this, Chen Chen took the opportunity to teach him a lesson: "Ashu, you can't chat like this in the future. It will kill the conversation. You should praise me more so that I will have the motivation to cook for you every day."
He Jinshu thought these were all fallacies and didn't intend to pay any attention to him.
Chen Zhen did not give up, but asked again: "Ashu, you haven't answered me yet, is this breakfast delicious?"
"It's delicious, okay?" He Jinshu said perfunctorily.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "After we get married, I will cook for you every day."
Upon hearing this, He Jinshu just nodded lightly and said "hmm".
After breakfast, Chen Chen drove the carriage towards the town.
