Chapter 462 Engagement



"You old boy, are you deliberately contradicting me? May 6th, why don't you just say June 6th or July 6th?" The smile on Gu Zhan's face disappeared, and he frowned unhappily.

Zhao Mingze showed no sign of weakness. "Sure, July 6th is July 6th, I can't wait for it!"

"you……"

The two of them are over a hundred years old in total, and they started arguing over this matter.

Meng Ying rubbed her forehead and felt a headache.

Jianshu also looked helpless, but Gu Mingjing pretended to be serious on the surface, but in fact he was cheering Gu Zhan on in his heart.

Come on, old man! Don't give up!

Finally, Meng Ying, unable to bear it any longer, slammed the table and ended the verbal fight.

"Alright! Shut up!"

Hearing the anger in her words, Zhao Mingze quickly fell silent, and Gu Zhan also calmed down.

"Just talk it over properly. What's the point of arguing? Go out and see if there's anyone else arguing like you at such an important moment? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you tell others about it?" Meng Ying rolled her eyes at the two of them and said unhappily.

Zhao Mingze and Gu Zhan lowered their heads silently to receive the scolding, but when Meng Ying lowered her head to flip through the calendar, they raised their heads and exchanged glances. Where their eyes met, there seemed to be lightning and thunder, and sparks flew.

Jian Shu and Gu Mingjing couldn't help but move to the side silently, away from the battlefield.

Although Meng Ying didn't see it, it didn't mean she didn't know. Based on her understanding of the two of them, she knew very well that they would not be able to calm down easily.

She has to make the decision on today's matter, otherwise, there will be no way to reach a conclusion with just those two people.

He read the dates for March and April next year many times, asked Gu Mingjing some questions in the middle, and then calculated the time and things needed to be prepared in his mind, and made a decision in his heart.

"Okay, let's come at the time I mentioned before, April 6th." After choosing and choosing, this day is the most suitable.

Without waiting for anyone to speak, she continued, "It can't be too early. We have a lot to prepare here, and everyone else is very busy. It's not easy for them to come here. Giving them more time will help them avoid being rushed."

"The weather in Mingjing is cold. If you go there too early, the weather won't warm up yet, and you won't be able to adapt in a short time, so you'll get sick easily. It's much warmer in April, so you'll have more than half a year to slowly prepare and adapt."

"There's also the house, but the report hasn't been filed yet, and I still have to apply to join the army. These things take time. If I can give myself more time, I won't have to rush."

"Anyway, the matter of the two children has been settled. There is no need to rush for ten days or half a month. It is better to prepare everything properly. What do you think?" Meng Ying asked for advice.

Of course, the most important thing to seek is Gu Zhan's opinion.

Zhao Mingze was the first to speak out, "I think it's a good date, let's set it on April 6th." He knew very well that May and June were impossible, so in that case, April 6th was already a good day.

Gu Zhan pondered for a moment and had to agree that what she said made sense. She was also considering the two children. Although he still hoped that it would be better sooner, he hoped that the two children would live a good life without regrets.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go with this day." After thinking it over, Gu Zhan was very straightforward and nodded in agreement.

Now that the most important date is set, the rest will be easy.

"Then where will things be done then? In the compound auditorium or at home?" Meng Ying quickly raised a new topic.

Gu Zhan had considered this question a long time ago and quickly made a decision, "Let's go to the auditorium. Our house is so small, it's not very convenient."

In fact, the Gu family’s courtyard is not small, but it can’t accommodate too many guests.

The Gu family is originally from Beijing. Although they have been away for more than ten years, they have always maintained those old friendships. Since they live not far away, they will definitely find time to come over when the time comes.

Needless to say, the Jian family, the relationship between ancestors is not suitable to be mentioned, but Jian Yucheng and Qiao Ling have been in Beijing for 10 to 20 years, and they know a lot of people. Even if we only count those close old friends and subordinates, there are still many people.

Although I don’t contact Jianshu very often, they are always paying attention to me. I don’t care about small things, but things like marriage are definitely coming.

A rough calculation shows that the number of guests from both families combined is not a small number. Even if they are busy with work and won't stay long, they will definitely come to have a cup of tea.

Based on the current estimated number of people, the Gu family definitely cannot accommodate them. If they do, it will be too crowded and inappropriate.

No one had any objection to this answer and they quickly reached a consensus.

Meng Ying nodded. "That's good too. Safety is guaranteed, and it will also be convenient for the older generation in the compound."

After reaching a consensus, the three began to discuss other marriage matters one by one.

Jianshu was a little distracted.

There was no way. Although she was one of the parties involved in the wedding, she was just a mascot sitting here today. There was no room for her and Gu Mingjing to interrupt. The heads of the families arranged everything properly with just a few words.

Of course, she agreed with their arrangements and had no objections, but it was a bit boring to just sit there.

Didn't you get distracted while listening?

Seeing that her eyes were wandering, Gu Mingjing silently pushed her.

Don't let your attention wander at this moment.

Jianshu came back to his senses, rubbed his face, and listened attentively again.

The three of them had almost discussed all the wedding matters, and then they mentioned the second thing of the day.

bride price.

That’s right, it’s the betrothal gift.

When other people get married, they usually discuss the betrothal gift first, and only after everything is settled do they discuss the wedding. But they did it the other way around. It's really bizarre.

The reason for this is that neither family cares much about this. They are both rich and trust each other's character, so they won't dwell on this matter.

Gu Zhan readily placed the things he brought on the table and spoke with full sincerity.

"I don't treat my two brothers differently. Mingyuan was like Mingjing when he got married a few years ago."

"That's as it should be. The two brothers have a good relationship, and we adults should be more careful so as not to hurt the harmony between the brothers because of these things." Meng Ying nodded. She also has four children in her family and is very clear about the proper boundaries.

Besides, there was no need to argue with others over such a small thing. Wouldn't it be tiring? Only incompetent people would focus on the little wealth of their elders. She knew the child she had raised herself, and he wasn't the kind of person who would be so superficial.
