When she returned home after finishing her work outside, Han Zheng suddenly told her: "Huaying, Nanfeng and Chaoyan are getting engaged the day after tomorrow."
"Um?"
Yun Huaying was stunned for a moment. "Engagement the day after tomorrow? My uncle and aunt didn't tell me yesterday, so why are you getting engaged so suddenly?"
"Since we are married, he is anxious."
Han Zheng knew how active Song Nanfeng was in pursuing a wife. Ever since his uncle and his family returned to Kyoto to settle down, he would visit them almost every day whenever he was in Kyoto. He took care of all the big and small matters at home, even buying all the food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
Han Zheng admitted that he was not as good as Song Nanfeng in these aspects, so he is reflecting on it now. When he went back to his uncle's house yesterday, he also abided by the marriage guarantee and took the initiative to take care of the housework, showing his hard work.
Yun Huaying smiled. She also approved of Song Nanfeng. She could also see that Sister Chaoyan's attitude towards him had changed a lot. Now she had him in her heart. Her uncle and aunt were very satisfied with him. It was only a matter of time before the two of them got married.
"Will they get married this year?"
"I don't know. I met Nanfeng on the way when I was out doing some work. He said something to me, then walked away laughing like a lunatic. I wanted to ask him more questions but didn't have the chance." Han Zheng wanted to laugh when he thought of his brother like that.
Yun Huaying laughed helplessly: "Alright, we'll ask again the day after tomorrow."
Thinking that her cousin was getting engaged, she wanted to send a congratulatory gift. Suddenly, she remembered that the houses registered under Jiang Hanji's name had not yet been transferred. She hurriedly said to him, "Accompany me to find Hanji again this afternoon. I will complete the transfer procedures for those houses and give Sister Chaoyan a house as a dowry."
"Okay." Han Zheng nodded with a smile.
On the day of Yun Chaoyan's engagement, Han Zheng and Yun Huaying arrived early and brought a lot of meat dishes and high-quality fruits to entertain the guests.
Today is another happy event. Li's parents have been helping to make various Haicheng-style pastries early in the morning. They are colorfully decorated, exquisite and delicious. Yun Huaying couldn't help drooling just looking at them.
The Song family attached great importance to Song Nanfeng's marriage. At about 9:30, Song Nanfeng led the two elders of the Song family, Song Haihang and his wife, and other elders, brothers, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, etc., and came in a grand manner. They all carried large and small bags of gifts, and all of them had smiles on their faces.
Yun Chaoyan also dressed up carefully today to meet the Song family. She wore the rose-red cheongsam given to her by Yun Huaying and put on natural yet gentle makeup. She looked quiet, beautiful and elegant.
As soon as Song Nanfeng saw her, he lost his soul and looked at her in amazement as if he was petrified, with the same expression as when he first saw her.
Song's mother couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him awake: "This stinky boy has completely disgraced my face."
"stupid!"
Yun Chaoyan gave him a label on their engagement day.
"Hehe..." Han Zheng laughed unkindly. He also felt that Song Nanfeng looked so stupid just now. It was really unbearable to watch.
"You don't understand."
Song Nanfeng was kicked awake, and he just laughed foolishly, not caring about anyone else, and directly pulled Yun Chaoyan back to the room.
Seeing him so ignorant, with only his fiancée in his eyes and no regard for his elders, Song's mother was amused and angry. She asked Yun Shaofan, "Shaofan, this brat is so stupid and foolish. How could you bear to marry your beautiful daughter to him?"
Song Nanfeng, who had not yet walked far, said: Is this really my biological mother?
Yun Shaofan laughed heartily and jokingly teased his good brother, "Mother-in-law, you should go back and ask Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou about this question. Ask them why they were willing to marry you to HNA. Their feelings back then are exactly the same as mine now."
"Ha ha..."
After the guests entered the house and took their seats, Yun Huaying helped greet them and got to know the Song family.
The two elders of the Song family and Song Haihang and his wife had attended the wedding before. They only exchanged a few words at that time, but when they met today, they accompanied each other and had a good chat.
The Song family attached great importance to today's engagement. According to tradition, all the necessary preparations were made, the betrothal gift was very high, and the elders also gave Yun Chaoyan a meeting gift. In front of all the elders and relatives of both families, Song Nanfeng handed over his bankbook and all the real estate and shops under his name to Yun Chaoyan. He also formally and solemnly promised his future parents-in-law that he would love and care for her for the rest of her life and would never let her suffer any grievances.
The engagement banquet was prepared by the Yun family. The three tables of delicious dishes were prepared by Li Shutong and Xiao Xiangyi. The pastries and desserts were handmade by Li's mother and were prepared with special care, which also showed that they recognized and liked Song Nanfeng, their future son-in-law.
After dinner, the elders of both sides discussed the wedding date again, and finally respected Song Nanfeng’s strong request and set the wedding date in early December.
After politely sending the Song family away, Yun Huaying took out a stack of property deeds from her bag and handed one to Yun Chaoyan: "Sister Chaoyan, this is the dowry I prepared for you."
Yun Chaoyan opened it and saw that it was a property deed. She was so shocked that her voice became louder: "Huaying, this is unacceptable."
"Here."
Yun Huaying said nothing more, and handed the other two books to the brothers Yun Jingmo and Yun Jingmo respectively, smiling brightly: "Brother Jingmo, Nanxing, you two should also get a set, for you to use when you get married in the future."
Yun Jingmo recognized it as the property ownership certificate at a glance and stuffed it back into her hands without even opening it. "It's too early for us to get married, so there's no reason for us to ask you to prepare the betrothal gifts."
"This is not something I prepared. It is my grandfather's last wish. The money was also left by him."
Yun Huaying had no choice but to lie, otherwise she would definitely not be able to give away the property certificates. She stuffed another one into her uncle's hand and said, "Including the courtyard house we live in now, there are five houses in total. I bought them with the money my grandfather left me. He was also concerned about this before he died. There are four of us brothers and sisters, plus my uncle and aunt, so we each have one."
Yun Shaofan knew that his niece was lying. The inheritance left by her father had been distributed long ago. He looked at the will and property distribution in the space and found that she did not use the inheritance to buy these five houses. She bought them with the money she earned by borrowing the space.
He knew his niece's character, she would not take back what she gave, so he said: "You guys take it first."
Since Dad had spoken, they had no choice but to accept it. They just took a look at the property certificate and then handed it to Mom for safekeeping.
Finally, Yun Huaying was called to the study. Yun Shaofan insisted on not letting her contribute to the purchase of the house, and took out 20,000 yuan from the inheritance left to them by the old man and returned it to her. Yun Huaying could not resist her uncle at all, so she had no choice but to accept the money.
After Yun Chaoyan's engagement party, Yun Huaying and the others set off to return to Jinling. A wedding banquet was also held in the family compound to celebrate.
The two elders of the Li family did not go with them and were forced to stay in Kyoto by their daughter and son-in-law. Yun Shaofan asked them to return to Haicheng after Yun Chaoyan's wedding. After considering it, the two elders agreed. During this period, they stayed in Kyoto to help with housework and prepare the dowry for their granddaughter.
