Chapter 30 Engagement



Ever since receiving Qi Yu's "gift", Song Tingzhi seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians. He would drag Jiang Cheng to practice non-stop at night, making Jiang Cheng feel that he was not energetic enough during the day.

At night, when Jiang Cheng thought Song Tingzhi wanted it again, Song Tingzhi just hugged him and didn't move.

"Huh?" Jiang Cheng was confused. He originally wanted to kick Song Ting away.

No matter what, I will definitely not indulge him today!

"Go to sleep." Song Tingzhi patted Jiang Cheng's waist and said nothing more.

During the day, Song Tingzhi was stopped by Xu Sanniang.

Xu Sanniang asked him if he had bullied Jiang Cheng in the past few days, because Jiang Cheng looked unhappy these days.

Song Tingzhi only realized that he had been too dissolute in recent days after being reminded by Xu Sanniang.

So we have the current situation.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng didn't say much and fell asleep on Song Tingzhi's chest.

A bit hot though!

The temperature was rising day by day, and layers of heat were rising from the ground. People felt dizzy after walking for a while, so not many people in the village went out.

Even Song Yu, who always loved to play, didn't go out anymore. Song Tao forced her to stay at home and learn calligraphy every day.

The weather was hot, so Song Tingzhi didn't go up the mountain. He stayed at home with Jiang Cheng and the others. There was a well in the Song family's yard, which was warm in winter and cool in summer. The whole family relied on the well water to escape the heat.

Jiang Cheng would make mung bean soup every other day to avoid the heat. When she had nothing to do, she would embroider handkerchiefs in the house and teach Song Qian, just for fun. However, Song Qian was also very talented and embroidered very well.

Sometimes when it was cool in the evening, Jiang Cheng would slowly stroll to He Xiaomi's house and go in to chat with him.

We had a great time during the summer vacation and everyone in the family gained a lot of weight.

The Song family was comfortable, but some people in the Jiang family were uncomfortable.

Jiang Caiyun looked at the red sun outside and didn't want to go out.

"Mom, it's too hot today and it's far from town. Can't we just not go?" Jiang Caiyun complained.

"That won't do. This is the day set by matchmaker Wang. The two families will meet each other. If Liu Fan's family is satisfied with you, the marriage will be settled!" Chen Mei saw that Jiang Caiyun looked unhappy, so she went to comfort her.

"Just think about it, when Liu Fan passes the exam and gets a degree, you'll be the wife of an official! How glorious!"

Jiang Caiyun imagined it and thought it was true!

"What if he never passes the exam and his family has no money? Wouldn't my life be ruined?" Jiang Caiyun thought of another possibility and looked worried.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, how could she not pass the exam? Matchmaker Wang said that the child works very hard and will definitely pass!" Chen Mei slammed the table a few times to brush off the unlucky words her daughter said.

"Okay, stop thinking about it. We still have to go to town."

After a while, the donkey cart that Chen Meihua had hired for a large sum of money arrived at her doorstep, and Jiang Caiyun was pulled onto the cart.

It took more than half an hour to reach the agreed restaurant.

After getting off the car, Jiang Caiyun felt that her body was sticky and covered with sweat, and her hair was also wet with sweat. Jiang Caiyun wanted to turn around and leave.

But he was dragged into the restaurant by Shen Mei.

"Madam Shen! Here!"

As soon as Chen Mei and Jiang Caiyun stepped into the restaurant, Matchmaker Wang saw them.

The two looked over and saw that there seemed to be two people behind Matchmaker Wang, who should be Liu Fan and his mother.

Chen Mei pulled Jiang Caiyun over enthusiastically, chatted with Matchmaker Wang for a while, and then turned the topic to the mother and son sitting there.

"This must be Mr. Liu and his mother!" Chen Mei said as she pulled Jiang Caiyun to sit down, and matchmaker Wang also sat down.

"Hello, Aunt Shen!" A smile appeared on Liu Fan's pretty face.

"Okay, okay." Chen Mei was becoming more and more satisfied the more she looked at it, and she wished that Liu Fan and Jiang Caiyun would get married immediately.

"As long as you are both satisfied, then let's set a date." Matchmaker Wang saw that both parties had good expressions and felt that the marriage could be successful.

As long as it succeeds, I can get another sum of money!

"Satisfied! I wonder what his mother means?" Chen Mei naturally had nothing to say and asked what Liu's mother meant.

"Of course there's no problem! As long as the child is fine! I'll listen to Fanfan in everything!" A smile appeared on Liu's mother's wrinkled face.

I raised Liu Fan alone with great difficulty, and now he has passed the imperial examination and has a bright future. I can finally relax.

"Okay, okay, then let's choose a date nearby to get it done!" Seeing that Liu's mother had no objection, Chen Mei's smile became even wider.

"Mom!" Jiang Caiyun embarrassedly pushed Chen Mei with her hand under the table, her face flushed.

"Look, you're so shy." Chen Mei looked at Jiang Caiyun's expression and knew that she was satisfied, so she couldn't help teasing her.

Several people looked at Jiang Caiyun, and she felt even more embarrassed.

"Auntie, we can get engaged first, but I want to wait until I pass the provincial examination in August next year before discussing the wedding date." Liu Fan expressed his thoughts.

Although he wanted to start a family and build a career, he wanted to build a career first and then start a family.

The provincial examination is held every three years. Next year will be the three-year period. If next year is nothing, it will be another three years.

"This..." Chen Mei was a little unhappy. In August next year, wouldn't that mean she would have to wait another year? What if Liu Fan passed the exam but didn't recognize the marriage?

"Auntie, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, whether next year comes or not, I will come to marry Miss Jiang."

"That's not what I meant..." Chen Mei was afraid that Liu Fan would misunderstand her, so she waved her hand quickly.

Even if I fail the exam, at least I'll be a scholar, which is not bad.

"Mom." Jiang Caiyun secretly pulled Shen Mei's clothes. She was quite satisfied with Liu Fan and didn't want others to misunderstand her.

Seeing Jiang Caiyun's expression and knowing what she was thinking, Chen Mei agreed to Liu Fan's proposal.

To be on the safe side, Chen Mei asked Liu Fan to write a written agreement, and Chen Mei and Jiang's things were carefully put away. Then the two families discussed some engagement matters before they parted ways.

On the way back to the village, Jiang Caiyun was a little unhappy.

"Mom, why did you ask Fanlang to sign a document? That's so bad!" Jiang Caiyun kept thinking about that incident and felt that her family was wrong.

"What do you know? How many people abandon their wives after they become famous? What's more, you two are not married yet and have no insurance at all. How can that be possible?" Chen Mei rolled her eyes, thinking that Jiang Caiyun was still too young.

"That can't be the case!" Jiang Caiyun still felt that it wasn't possible.

"Okay, listen to me." Chen Mei interrupted Jiang Caiyun's complaints. She was the one who made the decisions on major issues.
