One year later.

Zhou Zhengyang went to the Wen family to propose marriage and fulfill his promise to the girl.

The day of the proposal was very lively and grand. Although the Zhou family could not compare with the noble families in the capital, they were rich. With the discoveries in the fishing village over the years, the Zhou family was very wealthy.

When they heard that their son was going to propose to the benefactor's daughter, Zhou's father and mother took out all the banknotes, shops, and land deeds in the house.

They already liked Wen Zhi, and never expected that Wen Zhi would fall in love with their son.

He was afraid that his son would wrong Wen Zhi when proposing marriage, so he took out all his family assets and did everything according to the customs of the capital.

At this time, the court officials finally reacted. It turned out that Prime Minister Wen promoted his own son-in-law. No wonder!

But Zhou Zhengyang also worked hard, otherwise he would be a hopeless case.

Zhou Zhengyang invited an official matchmaker to go to the Wen family to propose marriage and ask to marry the young lady of the Wen family. Wen Zhi's brothers and younger brothers were dumbfounded. They were reluctant and did not want to agree.

Originally they thought that Wen Jing would object, and they would then support their Third Uncle/Daddy, but Wen Jing and Murong Shu accepted Zhou Zhengyang's proposal.

The brothers were very puzzled, and later found out that Wen Zhi had fallen in love with Zhou Zhengyang.

What can they do but accept the marriage. If they dare to make trouble, their sister/sister will definitely turn against them.

The prince saw that his third uncle and aunt had agreed, and Wen Zhi liked him, and even the emperor often praised Zhou Zhengyang, so Prince Jun Ao could only reluctantly recognize this brother-in-law.

After getting engaged to Wen Zhi, Zhou Zhengyang worked harder. He wanted to give the girl a better life. His Zhi'er deserved the best in the world.

Wen Jing was becoming more and more satisfied with Zhou Zhengyang. He would be content as long as he could bring his son-in-law out and take good care of his daughter in the future.

After the engagement, Wen Zhi and Zhou Zhengyang's relationship became more legitimate.

In Zhou Zhengyang's heart, Wen Zhi is like a child who never grows up. As long as he is around, his Zhier can be free and always be a child who never grows up.

Zhou Zhengyang usually works hard on his shift, and on his days off he would take Wen Zhi and his sister out.

Over the past year, Wen Zhi and Zhou Mei's relationship has become increasingly better, and they are almost inseparable. Especially after Wen Zhi and Zhou Zhengyang got engaged, Zhou Mei would wake up with a smile every day.

Every time Wen Zhi goes out, she takes Zhou Mei with her. In Wen Zhi's heart, she has long regarded Zhou Mei as a family member.

Autumn of the following year.

Wen Zhi and Zhou Zhengyang got married. Wen Zhi was the only daughter in the Wen family, so the wedding was a very lively one.

The Zhou family had no roots in the capital, so the emperor granted them a larger house. Zhou's father and mother also came to Beijing early. They kowtowed to their ancestors countless times and were more excited than when their son passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar.

Because of Wen Zhi's wedding, everyone in Tianmen Mountain gathered together again since Yueyue's wedding, and it was very lively.

Of course, the betrothal gifts were countless. On the wedding day, the bride had already entered the Zhou family’s house, but the betrothal gifts were still lined up on the road.

After seeing off all the guests in the evening, Zhou Zhengyang entered the new house. The room was designed according to Wen Zhi's preferences.

Zhou Zhengyang looked at the little girl covered with a red veil under the candlelight, his hands shaking with excitement.

He finally married the girl he loved. He slowly approached Wen Zhi and carefully lifted up her veil.

Today's little girls are more attractive than ever before.

The veil was lifted, and Wen Zhi looked up at Zhou Zhengyang, who was dressed in wedding clothes, with a face full of surprise. This man who made her heart beat at first sight was her "Brother Zhengyang."

The little girl's soft and sweet voice brought Zhou Zhengyang back to his senses.

"Zhi'er, it's time for us to drink the wedding wine." Zhou Zhengyang picked up the wine that had been prepared in advance from the table, handed a glass to Wen Zhi, kept one for himself, and then the couple drank it together.

Wen Zhi's eyes were full of joy, and Zhou Zhengyang was also in a good mood seeing this.

"Husband, Zhi'er is a little hungry. She wants to eat the seafood noodles you cooked." Wen Zhi pulled Zhou Zhengyang's sleeve. She got up early in the morning and worked hard. Zhou Mei brought her food for dinner, but Wen Zhi was hungry again.

Wen Zhi now especially wants to eat the seafood noodles made by Zhou Zhengyang. Usually when Zhou Zhengyang is free, he will cook for Wen Zhi himself.

Zhou Zhengyang felt so distressed when he saw the little girl's aggrieved expression. He helped Wen Zhi sit down and said, "Zhi'er, wait here for a while. I will do it for you."

"Zhi'er, stay with your husband." Wen Zhi didn't want to be alone in the bridal chamber and wanted to go to the kitchen with Zhou Zhengyang.

Seeing the seriousness in the little girl's eyes, Zhou Zhengyang pulled her to the kitchen.

When they arrived at the place, Zhou Zhengyang asked the little girl to sit on the stone bench in the yard, and he rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen to cook noodles for the little girl.

When Zhou's father and mother heard that their son and daughter-in-law had come to the kitchen, they thought something had happened, so they rushed over with Zhou Mei. When they came in, they saw Wen Zhi sitting in the yard and their son kneading dough in the kitchen.

"Zhi'er, you feel uncomfortable somewhere. Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?" Zhou's father and mother saw their daughter-in-law sitting in the yard. They thought Wen Zhi was not feeling well and were very worried.

"Dad, Mom, Zhi'er is fine. She just wants to eat the seafood noodles cooked by my husband." Wen Zhi suddenly felt embarrassed when she saw the concerned looks in her parents-in-law's eyes.

"Ah, Zhi'er is hungry. Husband, go and help light the fire. Mei'er, sit here with your sister-in-law for a while. Mother will go and help too."

When Zhou's mother heard that her daughter-in-law was hungry, she felt so distressed that she quickly arranged for Zhou's father to light the fire and she also went to help her son.

Zhou's mother's idea was very simple. She couldn't let Wen Zhi starve. The daughter of her benefactor was raised in the Wen family with great care. Although her family could not compare to the benefactor's family, she would never let her daughter-in-law down.

Wen Zhi looked at the three people busy in the kitchen, feeling warm in her heart. She took Zhou Mei's hand and said, "Sister, Dad and Mom are so good to Zhier."

"Of course. Mother said that it is a blessing for the Zhou family to marry you, so of course you are favored by my brother."

Zhou Mei's words were not her original words. What Zhou's mother said was even more exaggerated. Before she got married, her mother would remind her son every day.

Wen Zhi was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect her in-laws to be so "partial" to her.

With the help of Zhou's father and mother, a bowl of steaming seafood noodles was quickly prepared and served on the table.

"Zhi'er, come and try it. If you don't like the taste, mother will make it for you again." Zhou's mother was worried that her son's cooking was not tasty and would let her daughter-in-law go hungry.

Wen Zhi had been hungry for a long time. She took the chopsticks handed to her by Zhou Zhengyang and took a bite. The seafood was fresh and the noodles were soft. Wen Zhi's appetite was greatly whetted and she began to eat with relish.

"Dad, Mom, and Husband, it's delicious." Wen Zhi's praise made everyone smile.

"Zhi'er, eat slowly, there's more food in the pot." Mother Zhou was afraid that Wen Zhi would get burned if she ate too quickly.

"Thank you, mother."

"We're a family, why be polite?"

"Zhengyang, I will teach you a few more ways to make noodles later so that you can make them for Zhier." Zhou's mother remembered that she had other cooking skills.

"Your mother is right. Cooking is much simpler than studying. Go back and learn from your mother. You have to pamper your own wife." Zhou's father said worriedly.

Wen Zhi ate more happily as she listened to her parents-in-law's instructions to her husband. Although the Zhou family's home was small, it was warm and friendly.
