Chapter 155 Invitation

Su Jinshi put away his phone and held Shen Shilang's hand.

Shen Shilang held her tightly, as if afraid of losing her.

Su Jinshi had never known before that a person could express his or her affection simply by shaking hands.

When the two returned to Su Jinshi's courtyard, Shen Shilang said, "Today at the court, His Majesty said he would grant us a marriage."

"Ah?" Su Jinshi had modern thinking. He felt unhappy as if he was forced to do something he was not supposed to do. "Does he have..."

Su Jinshi lowered his voice, "What a problem. What does other people's marriage have to do with him?"

Shen Shilang laughed and told Su Jinshi the whole story.

"He really is..." Su Jinshi sneered and whispered, "A good emperor has to do so many disgusting things."

"However, although it is an arranged marriage, he didn't say when the wedding will take place, right?" Su Jinshi asked again.

Shen Shilang shook his head, "Normally they won't say it, but since it's a granted marriage, there has never been a situation where anyone dares not to get married."

"That's fine. It's his gift. Anyway, it's up to the two of us to decide when to get married." Su Jinshi held up his chin and explained, "It's not that I don't want to marry you. But the custom in my world is that before getting married, I have to take you to meet my parents first. Then we can get engaged and get married."

"How exactly did you do it over there?" Shen Shilang asked hurriedly.

Su Jinshi told Shen Shilang some of the customs she knew.

Shen Shilang wrote down everything, decided to draw the pattern himself, and went to the jewelry shop to make some gold jewelry.

Su Jinshi said that in their world, engagement requires three or five golds.

Shen Shilang felt that it was too little and decided to order more.

"Diamonds, I've never heard of them." Shen Shilang said, "Do you like gemstone rings? Jadeite rings?"

"It doesn't matter." Su Jinshi didn't care much about this.

"Since you have this custom, I must prepare it for you." Shen Shilang said, "Do you like the jade ring?"

"I like it." Shen Shilang insisted, and Su Jinshi was no longer polite to him.

"But, meeting my parents..."

"Isn't there a portal? I can go with you to meet your parents." Shen Shilang was a little nervous before they even met. "I hope I can satisfy your parents."

Su Jinshi felt it was quite terrible.

After all, Shen Shilang is a person who doesn’t even have an ID card in the modern world.

There is no job.

At least her mother would definitely not agree.

Fortunately, Shen Shilang's home is in the Daxi world.

At worst, I can discuss it with Shen Shilang and make up an identity.

During the holidays, she would go through the portal to visit her parents.

This is a matter for the future, so Su Jinshi put it aside for now and deal with the issue of arranged marriage first.

"Then let him grant the marriage." Su Jinshi said, "Two days later? What should I do to receive the imperial decree?"

Shen Shilang didn't expect that Su Jinshi would agree so readily.

He had done everything he could. If Su Jinshi was unwilling, he would find a way to enter the palace and pretend to be nice to Emperor Jiacheng.

Even if it risks angering Emperor Jiacheng.

He knew that Su Jinshi agreed to do so in order to help him.

Two days later, the imperial decree granting the marriage was indeed granted.

With Shen Shilang's explanation, Su Jinshi was a little nervous, but he still received the order without making any mistakes.

Although people in Beijing had heard of Su Jinshi, Shen Shilang's fiancée, they had never seen her in person.

Now that the imperial edict has been issued, the marriage between Shen Shilang and Su Jinshi can be said to be a done deal, and no other family can think of marrying into the marriage alliance with Shen Shilang.

Everyone couldn't help but become more curious about Su Jinshi.

For a time, invitations to Su Jinshi to attend various banquets and parties were sent to the Shen Mansion like snowflakes.

"Hmm." Su Jinshi held his chin and said to Butler Jiang who came to ask for instructions, "Butler Jiang, please write down the names of the people who posted these messages. I will research who they are."

She knew nothing about the various forces in the capital, the nobles and the officials.

Su Jinshi decided to take the list and interrogate Shen Shilang.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

It was impossible for her to hide in the Shen Mansion forever, but as Shen Shilang's fiancée, she would definitely meet various people if she went out.

Even if it wasn't intentional, the capital city is so small that it's inevitable to run into them when you go out.

She couldn't help Shen Shilang much, but she couldn't make mistakes and hold him back.

Moreover, she has the system plug-in. After getting to know these people, she might be able to help Shen Shilang a lot.

"It's no trouble." Butler Jiang said hurriedly, "Here are some of the more important invitations I have compiled. Miss, you can attend these invitations first."

Su Jinshi saw that there was a post from the Grand Tutor's Mansion among them.

"I'm not going either." Su Jinshi said, "Butler Jiang, just give me the list."

"Yes." Butler Jiang thought about it and couldn't help but persuade, "Originally, there were no female relatives in your family, and many banquets in the capital could only be attended by you alone. But in fact, there is a lot of information in the backyard for reference. Now that you have a girl, maybe... she can help you a little."

"Besides, the people on these posts are those who cannot be easily offended. If the girl doesn't go..."

"It's because it's so important that I can't go there rashly." Su Jinshi said, "I don't know much about what's going on in the capital. Now I can't even tell who is who."

"Besides, I come from a peasant family and don't know anything. It's easier to make mistakes if I go there rashly. It's better to figure out all these families first." Su Jinshi said his plan, "Which ones can't be easily offended, which ones really want to make friends with Shen Shilang, and which ones are two-faced. I have to study them carefully."

"You're right. As Shen Shilang's fiancée, I can't hide in the Shen Mansion forever. I have to help him socialize in the backyard. At least I have to know these things so that I can deal with it properly."

Butler Jiang bowed to Su Jinshi and said, "I was too shallow."

"No, Butler Jiang also means well." Su Jinshi smiled.

"I'll go and sort out the list right away." Seeing that Su Jinshi was so concerned about Shen Shilang's affairs, Butler Jiang was full of motivation and quickly took a thick stack of posts to sort out the list.

Not only did he compile the list, he also added notes at the back, writing down everything he knew.

Su Jinshi received the list and felt a little embarrassed. "Butler Jiang, you are so detailed. I am really troubling you."

"You are very polite, young lady." Butler Jiang said hurriedly, "I don't know much, I just heard it outside."

"I was able to get in touch with some of the servants in the mansion while outside, and learned some things from them, but they may not be accurate. But regardless of whether it is true or not, at least I can judge some information from them."

"Yeah." Su Jinshi nodded.
