Chapter 837 Waiting for her to be ready
Liang looked at Shengze and Lingyun, and saw that both of them were holding things in their hands, and they did not immediately go to the main hall of the main house to put them down. That meant that the things should only be given to their third house.
"Aunt San, please greet Third Brother Cheng and the others first. I have to go to the back." Seeing this, Shen Qingxiao immediately asked to leave.
Liang took Shengze and Lingyun to the living room of the third room, made tea for them, and then sat down and asked, "Chengsan, what do you mean?"
Just now, when she saw Sheng Ze coming to her house, she was secretly happy. This guy finally knew to come and propose marriage.
But then she realized that even if there were no elders in the Cheng family, Cheng San should have found a proper matchmaker when he came to propose marriage. What did he and Cheng Yun mean by bringing gifts to the door?
He looked down on her sister Qian and thought he could marry her home with just a casual gesture.
Seeing the dissatisfaction on Liang's face, Sheng Ze quickly stood up and bowed to Liang. "Please don't misunderstand me, aunt. I came here today to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter?" Liang's tone had become cold.
If Cheng San had such an idea, she would never marry Qian Jie'er to a man who looked down on her before they even got married, even if it meant raising her for the rest of her life!
Sheng Ze knew Liang had misunderstood, so he didn't beat around the bush and said, "My feelings for Qian Qian are genuine, but she's only just come of age, and I don't want to push her too hard. So I want to wait until she's ready before proposing marriage. I hope my aunt will approve."
He tried several times, and Shen Qingqian thought he didn't notice, but he saw it all. Every time she talked about proposing marriage, her expression was very reluctant.
Sheng Ze was also very clear that Shen Qingqian's feelings for him were definitely not to the point where she had to marry him. Compared to hastily proposing marriage and forcing her to marry him, he would rather wait.
Wait until Shen Qingqian accepts him from the bottom of her heart, wait until she is ready to spend her life with him.
"You mean, you should come and propose marriage after some time," Liang frowned.
She was not in a hurry to get Shen Qingqian married, but the fact that Cheng San and Shen Qingqian were too intimate was known to almost everyone. She was afraid that Shen Qingqian's reputation would be damaged over time.
Sheng Ze nodded, "When she's ready, no matter when."
What he meant was that no matter when Shen Qingqian was ready, he could come and propose marriage immediately, but Liang's understanding was wrong again.
"Okay, I got it." Liang didn't show anything on her face. She picked up the teacup and already had the intention of seeing the guest off.
Sheng Ze put down the gifts he had prepared. "These are for Auntie and Qin Ge'er. In addition, there is a top-quality Duan inkstone for Uncle. Please accept it on my behalf."
Liang was stunned when she heard him mention the word "uncle", and then she realized that he was talking about Shen Qingqian's father, Chen Yan.
Because his name contains the word "inkstone", Chen Yan's greatest hobby in life is collecting fine inkstones.
Unfortunately, many of his collections were destroyed during the house search, and those that were not destroyed were definitely taken away by others.
Liang Shi didn't have time to think about how Cheng San knew Chen Yan's preferences. After coming back to her senses, she subconsciously said, "You are thoughtful."
Most people probably wouldn't think of preparing gifts for the dead, but Shengze did.
On the fifth day of September, Shen Qingqian had been a little absent-minded since she woke up in the morning.
Sheng Ze did not return to Qin Lao's courtyard last night. She wondered if he was preparing to propose marriage, and she didn't feel comfortable asking others about Sheng Ze's whereabouts.
But she was worried all day long, and no one came to inform her what happened at home.
When she returned to Mr. Qin's courtyard, she saw Sheng Ze standing in the yard and smiling at her.
"What will my mother say if you propose marriage?" Shen Qingqian was nervous, and the smile on her lips seemed a little forced.
