Seeing that Shen Jingnian accepted the marriage proposal so readily, Shi Nanxing was slightly taken aback.
Because he didn't see any displeasure in Shen Jingnian's eyes.
Could it be...?
Does Shen Jingnian really not care about whether he marries into the family?
“Okay, Uncle, I’ll go back and make preparations,” Shen Jingnian said, taking the marriage certificate. “I wonder if there’s anything special you need to tell me?”
"No need," Shi Nanxing waved his hand, "Just follow the procedures for a son-in-law marrying into the family."
Shen Jingnian nodded slightly. "Uncle, Aunt, and all the elders, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
"Go."
Watching Shen Jingnian's retreating figure, Old Madam Si lowered her voice and said, "Shengbao's judgment is indeed excellent! I only see boundless hope in this young man, and not a single flaw."
"Yes," Grandma Shi nodded in agreement, "I also think this child is good."
Grandpa Jiang smiled and said, "I told you long ago, Xiao Shen is a very good kid."
Si Huashang looked at her eight brothers and sisters-in-law, "Brothers and sisters-in-law, what do you think?"
Si Huawen, Si Huawu, Si Huali, Si Huatao, and the others remained silent.
On the contrary, all eight sisters-in-law nodded in agreement, "Not bad, not bad, we also think this child is excellent. He is handsome, very proper in every way, and most importantly, his family background and abilities are on par with Sheng Bao's."
After returning to the front hall, Shen Jingnian chatted with his thirteen brothers for a while before leaving.
Jiang Ning saw him out.
As they reached the door, Jiang Ning asked, "How did it go? What did my parents and uncle say when they called you over?"
"Look, I got it!" Shen Jingnian took an envelope out of his pocket.
"What is this?" Jiang Ning asked curiously.
Shen Jingnian said, "The marriage proposal! Didn't your uncle tell you? He's already agreed to my marriage! He even told me to bring a matchmaker to your house in three days to formally propose!"
At this point, Shen Jingnian hugged Jiang Ning and said excitedly, "Boss, I'm about to marry you! No, I'm about to enter the Shi family's door!"
No one knows how excited Shen Jingnian is right now.
He had been waiting for this day for a very, very long time.
Jiang Ning asked curiously, "A marriage certificate? What is that? I've never heard my dad mention it before?"
"Whether or not Uncle mentioned it is not important," Shen Jingnian said, still holding Jiang Ning and kissing her on the cheek. "What's important is that I'll be able to enter your Shi family soon!"
Shen Jingnian's car was parked on the side of the road, and his assistant, sitting in the passenger seat, immediately covered his eyes upon seeing this scene. He also made sure to use one hand to cover the driver's eyes as well, saying, "Don't look at what you shouldn't see!"
The driver: "......"
After spending some time cuddling with Shen Jingnian, Jiang Ning saw him into the car, not forgetting to instruct her assistant, "Xiao Xu, your Ninth Master drank quite a bit today. Sit in the back and keep an eye on him so he doesn't throw up in the car."
He then instructed the driver to drive slowly.
The Si family nodded. "Yes, Miss Shi."
--
The Shen family.
Grandma Shen and Shen Jingshu had returned from their prayers and were standing at the gate, eagerly awaiting their return.
Upon seeing Shen Jingnian's car from afar, Shen Jingshu excitedly exclaimed, "He's back! Mom, Jingnian's back!"
Grandma Shen was also very excited and rushed to greet her.
The car door opened, and Shen Jingnian stepped out.
"How was it, Jingnian? Were Ningning's family satisfied with you this time?" After saying that, Old Mrs. Shen frowned and said, "You child, why did you drink so much today?"
Shen Jingshu smiled and said, "Shengbao has so many uncles and aunts and thirteen older brothers. It's already a blessing that he wasn't carried back!"
If any of Jiang Ning's relatives try to make things difficult for him, he'll have to drink until he gets a perforated stomach today.
"That's right, that's right! How can we do without drinking on a day like today!" Old Mrs. Shen then looked at Shen Jingnian, "Tell me how it went today?"
Shen Jingnian calmly took out the marriage proposal book from his pocket. "Mom, go and prepare. We'll take the matchmaker to the Shi family to propose marriage in three days!"
Grandma Shen took the marriage certificate and was overjoyed. "Looks like my prayers to the Bodhisattva this morning weren't in vain!"
After saying this, Old Madam Shen added, "Quickly, Jing Shu, go contact Master Song to have Ning Ning and Jing Nian's horoscopes matched. Prepare the formal betrothal gifts and formal letters; we'll come to propose marriage in three days!"
"Matching birth dates and times?" Shen Jingshu frowned slightly. "What if Master Song's analysis of the birth dates and times doesn't match?"
"If the birth charts don't match, then we'll change them until they do!" With that, Old Mrs. Shen poked Shen Jingshu's forehead. "How can you be so inflexible? You can't even follow a proper procedure?"
"Okay, okay, I'll contact Master Song right away."
Over the next three days, the Shen family busied themselves with preparations for the marriage proposal.
Three days later arrived in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, the Shi family was already in a state of welcoming guests.
Because the Shen family was coming to propose marriage, Old Madam Si and the rest of the Si family stayed behind, intending to settle the matter before leaving.
Si Huashang was actually a little nervous. She looked at Shi Nanxing and said, "Nanxing, you too, as long as Xiao Shen's side is willing to marry into the family, isn't that enough? Why bother preparing a marriage certificate? What if the Shen family sees the marriage certificate and has objections to us?"
In traditional thinking, marrying into another's family is considered a sign of a lack of ambition.
Therefore, men generally resist marrying into their wives' families.
If it weren't for the fact that no one could find a wife, almost no one would be willing to marry into another family.
