Chapter 551 I Will Treat Her Well for the Rest of My Life
Seeing that her father and brother were going to the Lu family to find Lu Shaoyuan desperately, Shen Ningning stamped her feet anxiously.
"Dad, brother, second brother, third brother, second uncle, what are you doing!"
She pursed her red lips: "I really want to marry Lu Shaoyuan. He didn't force me. Instead, I said it first."
Xie Mingan simply couldn't bear such a blow.
"Sister! You, you, you, you are completely unreasonable. Even if you like him, shouldn't you also like the prince?"
Shen Ningning was touched by the sadness in her heart, her face darkened, and she turned away.
"Brother Stinky, if you say this, you think Lu Shaoyuan is not as good as your elder brother."
Xie Mingan thought she was angry, so he quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Second brother, that's not what you meant, it's just that it was too sudden."
Xie Suzhi looked at his daughter: "Ning Ning, do you really understand what getting married means?"
Shen Ningning sighed: "Of course I know that marriage is like when mother married father. Two people who like each other will live in harmony after marriage and raise children together."
After she said this, all the men in the Xie family froze.
Their baby Ning Ning actually fantasizes about giving birth to a child for Lu Shaoyuan.
Do you really like it?
Xie Mingan couldn't accept it: "Ning Ning, you... that's all! I don't care about this matter. You can discuss it with your father and the others."
After that, he picked up his feet and left.
He had to quickly go to Dali Temple to torture a few prisoners in order to calm down the turmoil in his heart.
Shen Ningning sat on the chair.
She said seriously: "Lu Shaoyuan and I have already discussed it. If I don't adapt to living with him after marriage, I can still move back and live with you, dad."
Xie Mingxu frowned: "Then what is the meaning of your marriage?"
"Who said couples must live together? He respects me, so I can do whatever I want."
Xie Suzhi's face softened a little, but he still tightened his mouth.
"What did the Lu family say?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant at the door ran over quickly: "Master! Second Master! The Lu family arranged for a matchmaker to come to the door with a betrothal gift!"
All the men in the Xie family frowned at the same time, their faces even colder.
"So anxious? We haven't agreed yet." After Xu Jingxi finished speaking, he asked the servants to drive the matchmaker back first.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ningning stood up quickly: "Let the matchmaker come in!"
Xie Suzhi and others looked at her, and saw on the girl's white face that she seemed to be so happy that she wanted to marry Lu Shaoyuan immediately.
Seeing her looking forward to it, Xie Suzhi's heart tingled slightly.
His wife left early, and he already owed his daughter a lot. If he ignored her wishes now, he would probably break her heart.
Thinking of this, Xie Suzhi sighed: "Okay, let the matchmaker come in."
Xie Mingxu was anxious: "Father!"
Xie Suzhi raised his hand to stop his next words.
When the matchmaker came in beaming with joy, she was almost frightened by the aura in the hall and did not dare to cross the threshold.
I saw Prime Minister Xie and Second Master Xie, sitting on the left and right in the high hall. The picture behind them was of a tiger descending from the mountain, which was extremely intimidating.
Xie Mingxu and Xu Jingxi stood behind their fathers.
The four men of the Xie family, except for Xie Ming'an who was not there, all had cold and cold eyes.
A matchmaker has been a matchmaker for half her life, and she always enjoys going to other people's homes.
This was the first time I visited the house and saw that the woman’s mother-in-law’s family was so unwelcome to her.
Shen Ningning stepped forward: "Matchmaker, please sit down."
The matchmaker then calmed down and said hello with a dry smile. She didn't dare to sit down, but she quickly told her the purpose of coming.
"Thank you, Mr. Meng. It was Mrs. Meng who arranged for me to come here. For the sake of the happy marriage between the second young master of the Lu family and the princess, you see, all the gifts I brought this time were placed in the yard. If your family is also interested, I will Now I'm going back to Mrs. Meng, and she can officially be hired."
Shen Ningning raised her eyes and looked at the boxes full of boxes in the yard.
The vast yard has almost been filled with piles, but it hasn’t stopped yet. There are still boys from the Meng family carrying them back and forth.
Shen Ningning's heart tightened.
She clearly told Lu Shaoyuan not to make a big fuss.
Why are you given so much just as a greeting gift?
When it comes time to hire someone, wouldn't it be necessary to fill both the inner and outer courtyards?
Xie Suzhi said expressionlessly: "Since we are discussing a marriage between two families, it would be very insincere to only let the matchmaker come to the door. I think you should go back first and tell Mrs. Meng that if anything happens, please ask her to bring Mr. Lu to see me."
The matchmaker quickly smiled and shook her handkerchief.
"What a coincidence! Mrs. Meng and Second Young Master Lu are waiting on the carriage outside the mansion. Today, they came with the villain. They originally wanted to come in and pay homage to the Lord together, but isn't this inconsistent with etiquette? That’s why I let the villain come to visit me first.”
In the Cangyun Kingdom, when a man and a woman propose to marry, they first send a matchmaker to their door to prepare a betrothal gift.
If the woman agrees, she will invite the man's parents to come and have a detailed discussion. After that, the eight-character Geng Tie will be exchanged.
Generally, when the Geng Tie is exchanged, the engagement can be made.
Xie Suzhi didn't expect that Mrs. Meng and the others would be so anxious.
So he didn't want to, but for Shen Ningning's sake, he still nodded.
"Mrs. Meng and Mr. Lu are invited to come in."
The matchmaker hurriedly went to deliver the message.
After a while, Mrs. Meng, who was dressed up and very solemn, entered together with Lu Shaoyuan.
Mrs. Meng is a wealthy man from the Cangyun Kingdom. Needless to say, she looks very elegant. Her well-maintained face smiles with pride.
"Thank you, Prime Minister." She bowed her hands politely.
Lu Shaoyuan, who was beside him, also saluted openly, but his lowered hand could not help but pinch his sleeve.
It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.
He glanced at Shen Ningning next to him, who gave him a slight nod in response.
Lu Shaoyuan felt relieved immediately.
Xie Mingxu had noticed the subtle interaction between his sister and Lu Shaoyuan.
He felt indescribably sad.
He had only a hunch that the wedding of the two families was about to happen.
Xie Suzhi asked someone to take a seat, and Mrs. Meng sat down and said, "I really didn't expect that I would have such a blessing to let Ningning be my daughter-in-law. I have watched her grow up since she was a child."
When Shen Ningning was not recognized by the Xie family, Mrs. Meng helped her a lot.
Xie Suzhi had also heard about these things.
He smiled lightly, but there was no emotion in his eyes: "Maybe the two children are destined to be together."
Mrs. Meng was very talkative and cheerful, and communicated with Xie Suzhi back and forth.
During this time, Lu Shaoyuan had been sitting there quietly and steadily, nodding from time to time.
He was mainly worried that being too noisy would make Prime Minister Xie feel that he was unreliable.
Unexpectedly, Xie Suzhi quickly threw the topic to him.
"Second Master Lu, I have been listening to your mother just now. Since you want to marry Ningning, I want to hear what you say."
Madam Meng turned around and gave her son an encouraging look.
Before coming, he was happily chattering, but now in front of Prime Minister Xie, he was like a mute!
Lu Shaoyuan stood up, a little speechless, as if he had thousands of words to say, and he didn't know how to speak.
Suddenly.
He lifted his robe and knelt down.
Second Master Xie was drinking tea and almost dropped the teacup.
Everyone was shocked, and Shen Ningning was also slightly startled.
Lu Shaoyuan said in a loud voice: "I swear! I will treat her well for the rest of my life!"
