At Master Song's suggestion, Old Mrs. Shen chose three dates in total.
One is December 28th.
One is the fourth day of the first lunar month.
Another one is the sixth day of the first lunar month.
A wedding requires ample time to prepare.
Especially weddings of large families.
Therefore, the dates that Mrs. Shen chose were all at the end of the year.
Hearing Shi Nanxing's words, Grandma Shen smiled and nodded, "Alright, then let's make it the sixth day of the first lunar month."
With the date set, a huge weight was lifted from Old Madam Shen's heart. She quickly picked up the gift list and handed it to Shi Nanxing and Si Huashang with both hands: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, this is the betrothal gift we have prepared for Ningning. Please take a look. If you feel there is anything inappropriate, you can add it at any time."
Si Huashang accepted the gift list with both hands, gently flipped it open, and saw the red paper with black characters.
Very beautiful regular script.
[50 kg of gold bars, ten sea-view villas, two Rolls-Royce Phantoms, a street full of bustling shops, two pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets, two sets of imperial green jewelry, two sets of diamond jewelry, two sets of pink diamond jewelry, two five-star hotels in downtown Shanghai, two five-star hotels in downtown Beijing, 200 million RMB in cash...]
The Si family's eight aunts also came over to look.
Upon seeing the contents of the betrothal gifts, disbelief appeared in the eyes of all of them.
Gold bars, hotels, shops, cash...
It's fair to say that any item on Shen Jingnian's betrothal gift list would be something that ordinary people could only dream of.
Most importantly, under normal circumstances.
A son-in-law who lives with his wife's family does not need to give a betrothal gift.
On the contrary, it is the woman who is expected to give the man a betrothal gift.
Although Shi Nanxing had just said that Shen Jingnian did not need to marry into the family.
However, the betrothal gift list of the Shen family was prepared without Shen Jingnian knowing anything about it.
In other words, even when he thought he was going to marry into the family, he still prepared such a generous dowry, which is enough to show the sincerity of the Shen family and Shen Jingnian.
Jiang Ning made the right choice in choosing a boyfriend.
After reviewing the betrothal gift list, Si Huashang looked at Old Madam Shen and said, "Mother-in-law, this is the dowry list we prepared for Shengbao." With that, Si Huashang picked up a red booklet and handed it to Old Madam Shen with both hands.
Si Huawen also took out a red booklet, "Mother-in-law, this is the dowry list that our Si family is giving to Shengbao."
Grandma Shen accepted the dowry list and the accompanying dowry list with both hands.
The first thing to open was the Shi family's dowry list.
[58 kg of gold bars, two courtyard houses, two villas, two pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets, a private island in the South China Sea, a private island in Country L, two Michelin-starred restaurants, two Land Rovers, two limited edition Porsches, 200 million in cash...]
Then came the dowry list from the Si family.
[Eight detached villas, eight luxury apartment buildings in Xiangjiang, eight sets of emerald jewelry, eight Lamborghinis, one large private jet, one luxury yacht, 200 million in cash...]
Upon seeing the dowry and betrothal lists of the Shi and Si families, Old Madam Shen, Shen Jingshu, and Yun Zhengyi were all shocked.
Especially the Si family.
Normally, when a niece gets married, it's already considered very respectable for the uncle and aunt to attend the wedding and give a red envelope.
However, the dowry provided by the Si family was as generous as that given when marrying off their daughter.
This is evident.
The Si family's kindness towards Jiang Ning was definitely not just empty words.
They took concrete actions!
At this moment, Zhao Yunong spoke up, "My dear in-laws, Shengbao is not only the apple of her parents' and grandparents' eye, but also the apple of everyone's eye in our Si family. In this generation of our Si family, we have raised more than a dozen boys, but Shengbao is our only girl. We uncles and aunts cherish her dearly. This child suffered a lot in her first nineteen years, but since she came home, we have never let her frown. From now on, when she enters your Shen family, please treat her as we have treated Shengbao, and please never let her suffer any grievances."
If something can be clearly stated before marriage, then it shouldn't be discussed after marriage.
Zhao Yunong is the eldest daughter-in-law and sister-in-law of the Si family. It is most appropriate for her to say many things. Her voice sounds gentle and soft, but it is full of power. Every word she says is resounding.
Zhao Yunong was, after all, the matriarch of the Si family.
Everyone except Old Madam Si had to listen to her.
“If your Shen family wrongs Shengbao, my eight uncles and aunts and I will not let you off the hook. Shengbao has more than just us; she also has thirteen brothers. Of course, if our Shengbao does anything wrong, we, as her elders, will naturally not sit idly by.”
Hearing these words, Old Madam Shen turned to look at Zhao Yunong, met her gaze, and solemnly said, "Aunt Ningning, I often say that it is the good fortune of our ancestors that our family has been able to marry a girl like Ningning. Rest assured, once she marries into our Shen family, she will be the matriarch of our family. Everyone inside and outside the Shen family, even a blade of grass in the yard, must obey her orders and arrangements."
At this point, Old Mrs. Shen paused for a moment, then continued, "Don't even mention that Jingnian wouldn't dare to bully her. If Jingnian were to do something foolish and bully her, I would be the first to not let him off the hook."
Grandma Shen wasn't joking. When she first saw Jiang Ning at the hospital in City A, she was immediately struck by her beauty and thought to herself that any family that married such a beautiful daughter-in-law would be laughing in their sleep.
She was just dreaming back then.
Now that her dream has finally come true, she is of course going to cherish it. She is not one of those troublesome old women in TV dramas.
“And me,” Shen Jingshu continued, “Madam, don’t worry, if my brother dares to bully Ningning, I will sever our sibling relationship.”
"Me too, me too, Auntie, don't worry, I will always stand unconditionally on Father Jiang's side!" Yun Haotian added.
Although Yun Haotian was about the same age as the thirteen older brothers of the Si family, he was the youngest in terms of seniority here today and could only address Little Crayon as a brother.
According to seniority, he should indeed call Zhao Yunong his great-aunt.
Shen Jingnian: "......"
Today was another day where I wondered if I was adopted.
After discussing these matters, everyone sat down together to discuss the details of the wedding. It wasn't until the afternoon that the Shen family left the Shi family manor.
--
Time flies.
Several months passed in the blink of an eye.
Shen Jingnian and Jiang Ning's wedding date is approaching.
During this time, Shen Jingnian has been preparing for the wedding. He personally took care of everything, from the wedding venue to a small piece of jewelry. After discussing with Jiang Ning, he found a jewelry master to make a unique custom piece.
Jiang Ning was also extremely busy.
She was busy launching new products, trying on clothes and jewelry, and even had to squeeze in time to go with Shen Jingnian to check out the wedding venue setup.
A few days before Jiang Ning and Shen Jingnian's wedding, a number of big shots suddenly appeared on Weibo who were going to attend the wedding.
Ming Xiwang, young master of the Ming family: [Requesting three days off to attend the boss's wedding.]
