"Thank you for your guidance, Auntie. I still have many shortcomings."
Shao Ming knew that Madam Gu was teaching him some social etiquette in the capital, something he lacked.
Shao Ming didn't linger; there was a curfew that night, so he left early.
At the Zheng family home, Madam Zheng was also asking about her daughter.
"Jinyu, what do you think of Editor Jiang?"
"He has a dignified appearance and looks people in the eye with a very upright gaze."
By the time Zheng Jinyu turned eighteen, she had attended many banquets, both large and small, and she had developed a good eye for people.
"Then we'll wait for news from your Aunt Yuzhen. If she's interested, she'll come to propose marriage."
“Okay, if his family really doesn’t care about my reputation, I will treat them sincerely.”
Zheng Jinyu still had some doubts in her mind, wondering if the man really didn't mind at all.
Although she felt that the deaths of those three so-called fiancés had nothing to do with her, and that she was just unlucky and had encountered a lot of bad things.
She hopes that good luck will come her this time. She doesn't care about herself, but it would be her fault to make her elderly grandfather worry and her parents and brothers feel anxious.
After Madam Gu and Madam Zheng discussed the matter, the marriage was basically settled.
The Lunar New Year is almost here, and there won't be a chance to do anything before then. We'll have to wait until after the New Year.
Even in ancient times, there were annual holidays; the emperor also needed rest.
This was Jiang Shaoming's first time spending the Spring Festival alone away from home. Li Li and Wei Dong took care of things at home.
He didn't need to visit many people, just a few in the Hanlin Academy.
Even with the Gu family, visits are still necessary.
Because Gu Zheng was there, he would occasionally take Shao Ming out for a walk, and time seemed to fly by.
After the imperial court issued the official seal, Madam Gu found an official matchmaker and went to the Zheng family to propose marriage to Shao Ming.
Both parties agreed, the process went smoothly, the marriage was arranged, and their birth dates were matched, all indicating good fortune.
We followed the three letters and six rites, moving forward step by step.
Jiang Shuyun and the others were not idle in the prefectural city either. After things were settled, Mu Yi'an began to tidy up the storeroom.
She needs to prepare the betrothal gifts.
Her family's assets are all there; their annual income and expenses are roughly the same.
Mu Yi'an has five children, and she plans to divide the money equally into five parts.
The family's businesses were not divided, but she had already allocated the money needed for each person's wedding.
They didn't need to bring too much with them to the capital this time. Apart from the valuable items bestowed by the Emperor, they didn't really have any antiques or paintings at home.
Those are families with a rich history, whose wealth was accumulated over generations.
Their family started from scratch; they really didn't have any of that.
Shao Mingcheng got married. He already had a house, and the betrothal gifts would be prepared once they arrived in the capital.
The Zheng family should know their net worth perfectly well, so there's no need for them to put on a show of wealth beyond their means.
After purchasing what needs to be purchased, the remaining money can be used by the young couple to discuss their needs.
Mu Yi'an really couldn't imagine whether she would lose all her hair after an ancient wedding.
Modern life is so much more convenient; you don't have to do anything yourself, everything is handled by specialists.
Mu Yi'an and Jiang Shuyun complained for a long time, and then they felt better.
"Go to sleep. This time, our whole family will gather in the capital."
Jiang Shuyun wondered if Yi'an was a little anxious because he was about to get married.
In her sleep, Mu Yi'an dreamed that she was riding in a carriage all the way to the capital, and her buttocks were sore from the bumpy ride.
