Shen Anchen spent a few days comfortably at home. Before he could get over the "excessive" concern of his family, a piece of news almost made him explode!
"What, An Ning is engaged? No, when did she start dating? How come I don't know anything about it?" Shen Anchen stood up from the sofa and looked at the whole family with wide eyes.
Shen Anning felt the most guilty. She had forgotten to tell her second brother about her love affair. After returning to the city, her family sent food and clothes to Shen Anchen. The letters had already been received by Shen Anxuan and Xixi. The two children did not contain any nutritious content except saying that they missed their brother and uncle.
"Well, second brother, I didn't intend to hide it from you, it's just that I've been busy with too many things since I came back, and then..."
"And then you forgot about it because you were busy, right?" Shen Anchen was almost mad. He didn't know his sister was in love, and the key point was how come she got engaged so soon? He was older than his sister, but he hadn't even seen the shadow of her partner. Oh my God!
No matter how angry Shen Anchen was, as his brother, he still attached great importance to Shen Anning's engagement party. This was the first time that the Shen and Cao families had publicly invited relatives and friends since they came back. As the former leading wealthy businessman in the country, the engagement of his only grandchild was bound to be a big scene.
Moreover, Peng Zhe also planned to work in the business world in the future, and Shen Anning also wanted to take this opportunity to let him meet some of the powerful figures in the business world in the past and learn from them.
Just after the Chinese New Year, the Cao family began to renovate their three-courtyard quadrangle house located next to the Forbidden City. This quadrangle house also has a great background.
The Cao family's ancestors had a Minister of Revenue, and there were many members in the family. They have been engaged in business since ancient times. It can be said that the expansion of the Cao family's power was related to tea and salt. You must know that at that time the court almost controlled all the businesses that made a lot of money in the world. The Cao family used the power of the court to achieve a great expansion of its business territory.
On the day of the engagement, Shen An Ning wore a Chinese cheongsam made by her grandmother Shen. It had a red phoenix collar, square lapel and long sleeves. The butterfly buttons extended from the lower part of the neck to the collarbone. She wore a red waistcoat on the outside and white high heels of about three centimeters. Shen An Ning looked much taller and slimmer. Her hair was tied up high, and she wore a hairpin on her head that was given by her grandmother as a dowry when Shen's mother got married - the auspicious hairpin. Her grandmother once gave her good wishes to her daughter, and now it has been passed down to Shen An Ning.
Cao Jingheng only took one look and couldn't move his eyes away from Shen Anning. The tight cheongsam outlined the girl's figure to the fullest. He watched her walk towards him slowly with light steps, like a cat, elegant and mysterious.
"Stop looking, come back to your senses."
He carefully held the jade hand covering his eyes, and took the girl into his arms. His low and affectionate voice rang in Shen Anning's ears, "What should I do if I don't want you to go out and see people? I want to hide you in the house. Such a beautiful wife can only be seen by myself."
Shen An Ning blushed at his bold words. Although he had called her "baby" before when they were intimate, this was the first time his wife heard it, and she felt embarrassed.
She twisted in the man's arms a bit in resistance, "Don't say it, or someone will hear it."
Cao Jingheng smiled. No one followed him when he came from the front yard, and he locked the door after entering. "There's no one else here, only me."
I don’t know where the love comes from, but it grows deeper and deeper.
The result of her passion was that Shen Anning's lipstick was all over Cao Jingheng's mouth. At this moment, her sister called her outside, "Hurry up and clean up. There is a towel over there. Hurry and wipe it."
The busier she got, the more anxious she became, and the more anxious she became, the more confused she became. In the end, it was Cao Jingheng who helped her put on makeup again and put on her clothes.
The Cao family put a lot of thought into the engagement banquet this time. They even built a glass greenhouse in the yard so that the bride-to-be would not be cold during the cold first month of the year.
"Hey, here they come, the young couple is coming!"
"They are a perfect match, talented man and beautiful woman."
"Hey, look at Jingheng's eyes, they are so gentle. Oh my god, even an older person like me is so sweet just looking at them."
"Don't you even look at what An Ning looks like? I, a woman, want to stand there in Jing Heng's place. What else can I say?"
. . . . . . .
They were all good friends of their grandparents and parents, so the two of them were not shy and walked up to and greeted every elder.
The marriage certificate was written jointly by the grandfathers of both families. It was a scroll of rice paper, red with auspicious designs of dragons and phoenixes. It contained a passage that Shen Anning loved best: "Two families unite in marriage, a covenant is made in one hall, a marriage of good fortune is forever sealed, a match made in common." "Look at the peach blossoms blooming today, a perfect match for the family; I predict that in the years to come, your descendants will flourish and prosper." "I respectfully write this promise of a lifetime together on this long piece of paper, so that the red leaves of our alliance will be recorded in the love story."
This certificate!
The two looked at each other and solemnly wrote their names on the marriage certificate. Looking at the two names arranged together, Shen Anning felt an indescribable sense of belonging in his heart.
After offering tea to the grandparents of the Cao family, Grandma Cao took off an emerald jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Shen Anning's hand. "Good boy, we will be a family from now on. Grandma hopes that after you and Jing Heng are together, you will still be as happy as you are now as a girl. I hope you and Jing Heng will be harmonious and beautiful, loving and loving."
"Thank you, grandma. We will be fine."
The guests watching the ceremony applauded at this time. Father Shen gently hugged his tearful wife and comforted her, "Our daughter has grown up. We should be happy that she has a man who loves her. Besides, she has just been engaged. It will take two or three years for An Ning to graduate. Even if she gets married, we can move to the courtyard house here. It will only take a few steps for our daughter to come home, don't you think?"
