Chapter 597 Don’t Always Have a Dark Face
"Mr. Qiao, you don't have to worry about me. Quickly prepare the marriage proposal team. We will set off as soon as Qiao Yuanan comes back." Chu Jinyan said calmly.
Mr. Qiao responded without hesitation: "Yes, yes."
He didn't think Chu Jinyan was arrogant at all. He was a noble prince, and it was an honor for him to condescend to come to their Qiao family, not to mention that he personally accompanied Yuan An to propose marriage. This attitude alone was a closeness that others could not envy.
Mr. Qiao felt as if he was injected with chicken blood and was so excited that if it was not the wrong time, he would have wanted to go to the ancestral temple to burn incense and worship his ancestors.
Dad, Mom!
My son has made great progress. He can even be a relative of the prince in this life.
Your grandson is even more amazing.
The betrothal gift prepared by the Qiao family was extremely generous. After all, they were marrying the daughter of the famous and powerful Shen family. If they did not give too little, it would be a laughing stock.
A large mahogany box tied with red silk was carried out of the mansion, walked on the street, passed Zhuque Street, and slowly walked towards the Shen Mansion. The scene was so grand that the people were amazed.
"The Qiao family is doing well in business. Look at how heavy the betrothal gift is. It's not inferior to that of aristocratic families."
"Look, isn't that the number one scholar? I wonder which lady he married."
"Looking at this grand occasion, the other party must be of high status."
"Why guess so much? Just follow and see."
Qiao Yuanan rode his horse in the front, and at the end of the long team, there was an exquisite and gorgeous carriage slowly following. The four roofs of the carriage were inlaid with huge luminous pearls, which sparkled brightly in the sun.
Shen Mansion.
The servant at the door ran happily to report the news. After all, the marriage between their young lady and the second young master of the Qiao family was arranged between the lady and Mrs. Qiao a long time ago, so they naturally knew about it. Now they saw the Qiao family coming to propose marriage and the long line of betrothal gifts outside the door was simply breathtaking. As a servant of the Shen family, they were naturally filled with joy at such a spectacular sight.
When Shen Pin heard the news, she rushed to the front yard impatiently, holding up her skirt. When she passed by Shen Man and his wife, she didn't even stop, but hurriedly called out, "Dad, Mom."
Chen Man's face darkened. He reached out and grabbed the back of Chen Pin's collar, and pulled her back to his side like a chicken.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you have any rules?" Chen Man snorted with a frown on his face.
He returned home happily, but before he could even catch his breath, he was told that his daughter had a lover and was waiting for him to return to Beijing so that the other party could propose marriage.
This is a good thing!
When asked who his future son-in-law would be, he was so surprised that he spat out his tea.
It’s not that Qiao Yuanan, the top scholar, is not good.
Instead, he thought of the Qiao family's position from Qiao Yuanan. After going around in circles, he still fell into the trap of the Eighth Prince.
Earlier, the Eighth Prince came to Changcheng to find him in person, and he knew that the attacking army was his people. It could be said that he was able to return to the capital alive and win the battle thanks to him. The Eighth Prince was indebted to him.
It's not that he looks down on the Eighth Prince, but his Shen family is full of loyal and brave people, and they don't want to get involved in the fight for the crown prince.
I really want to break off the engagement and kick Qiao Yuanan out!
But looking at the happiness on his daughter's face, Chen Man couldn't do anything to break up the couple.
Even more frustrating.
Madam Shen turned her head to look at her husband, chuckled and shook her head.
He has not yet recovered from the shock of his daughter being betrothed to someone else.
"General, today Yuan An has come to propose marriage. Don't look so gloomy, or people will think we are not happy with this marriage."
