Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing that there was only one word on it, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not surprised. They even felt that it fit Sanfu’s style.
Sanfu had always been extremely concise in his words.
When Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia saw that their son had not only agreed to the marriage but also learned how to write, they were sure that Wufu would definitely learn how to write as well. They touched the words on the paper and smiled endearingly.
She was clearly smiling, but her eyes were red.
It was as if the words on the paper were from both Sanfu and Wufu.
Since Xue Sanfu had agreed, Liu Guixia and the others were busy preparing for the marriage proposal. They spent two days preparing and hiring the best matchmaker in town. Then, on September 25th, the matchmaker brought things with Liu Guixia and the others to propose marriage.
Even Xue Sifu came to help make up the numbers.
The matchmaker did not know that Master Pei and Madam Pei already knew about the marriage proposal. As usual, she instinctively picked out top-quality things to say and even said a mouthful of blessings. She originally thought that Master Pei and Madam Pei would not agree to it. After all, their son was the new top scorer this year and had a bright future. Naturally, the younger sister’s status would also rise. They were not the right family to propose the marriage. If it were not for Liu Guixia giving her a lot of money, she would not have been willing to come. Who knew… Master Pei and Madam Pei actually agreed. The matchmaker was surprised at first, but then she naturally became happy again.
Although she did not contribute much, this marriage was considered a success. She would still receive a certain amount of wedding money.
When Liu Guixia and the others saw Pei Dongyu, they were very reserved. At first, they wanted to kneel down in front of Pei Dongyu. Pei Dongyu was an official, and they were common civilians. However, Pei Dongyu quickly stopped them, saying that they were meeting in private at home. There was no need to do this as they were not in public.
In addition, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also spoke up for Pei Dongyu, so Liu Guixia and the others did not kneel down. However, they were still somewhat reserved.
Xue Sifu had also come. He had already met the General and His Highness. To him, this was a small occasion. Moreover, he was a good friend of Xue Yan, so he did not hold back at all.
Originally, Master Pei and Madam Pei had wanted to facilitate this marriage first. Now that Liu Guixia and the others had really come to propose the marriage first, although they did not bring as many things as a big family, they were still quite complete. It was still acceptable for their standards.
Master Pei and Madam Pei naturally had a particularly good expressions.
Madam Pei even personally held Liu Guixia’s hand and brought her to the back to see her daughter, Pei Fufu.
Pei Fufu’s face was already red. She lowered her head and grabbed her handkerchief, but she still called out to Liu Guixia in a small and appropriate voice, “Hello…
Although it was Liu Guixia’s first time meeting Pei Fufu, she still liked her a lot. Before she came to the Pei residence, she had heard from Jiang Yue and
Xue Yan that Pei Fufu was a good girl and she liked good girls.
Hehua and Hong Yan were also good girls.
In the future, when this girl is married into their family, the sisters-in-law would definitely get along very well.
When the man proposes, the woman will agree and accept the gift. Naturally, that meant that they would be engaged. The marriage certificate had to be signed, and the matchmaker had also pressed her fingerprint on the marriage certificate.
Then, the marriage contract was kept by the man.
Seeing that the marriage contract was signed, Pei Dongyu smiled and nodded. It was a relief.
Hence, the next day, Pei Dongyu brought her entire family, including Pei Fufu, to the Imperial Capital.
The Pei family was in town, and Jiang Yue and the others were in Locust Village. They were a little far away and did not have time to send them off in the morning..
