Chapter 188 Engagement Discussion
After writing two memorials, he handed them to his subordinates and asked them to take some sweet potatoes and rush to the capital as soon as possible.
Of course, the memorial also specifically stated how to eat sweet potatoes: they can be steamed or boiled directly. Alternatively, they can be eaten raw after peeling.
A few days later, it was time for Lin Jingyou's biweekly vacation, and the two returned to Daqing Village.
When they were almost at Daqing Village, Lin Jingyou held Shen Wanning's hand and reassured her, "Wanning, have you really decided to spend your life with me? I'm only asking you this one last time. You won't have the chance to run away in the future."
Shen Wanning nodded firmly. "I've made up my mind. As long as you don't betray me, I will never betray you. But if one day you change your mind, I will leave and you will never find me again."
"No, that day will never come, and I will never let such a thing happen." Lin Jingyou promised.
"Since we have made the decision, we will tell our families clearly after we go home today and get engaged as soon as possible. As for the wedding date, let's decide it after you take the exam!" Shen Wanning said.
The two returned home and the family sat in the yard to eat dinner again.
Lin Jingyou glanced at Shen Wanning and suddenly said, "Mom, Wanning and I have discussed and decided to finalize our marriage as soon as possible. Can you let us exchange the engagement letter first and then go through the engagement letter?"
"Oh, I urged you two before, but you two were not in a hurry. Why do you take the initiative to speak up now?" Aunt Zhang joked.
"Don't get me wrong, mom. We are just getting engaged. As for getting married, there is no rush." Lin Jingyou explained.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to explain. I care about your affairs more than you do! Don't worry, I know. Since you two live together, I thought it would be better to place your two horoscopes in front of the Kitchen God together, and then have the engagement ceremony directly after three days." Aunt Zhang suggested.
Lin Jingyou nodded and said, "I'll listen to you, mother. I don't know much about this matter, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of everything."
"You've lived together for so long, and your family is flourishing. Logically, there should be no problem with your horoscope. What about the little gift...?"
Lin Jingyou quickly replied, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll buy these."
Aunt Zhang gave him a sidelong glance and said, "How can I let you handle all the affairs for your wedding? I can handle these. I have money, and these things don't cost much."
"Mom, we all live together, we are all a family, so let's just keep things simple." Shen Wanning continued.
"That won't do. We can't let people gossip about us. We need to give you everything we need. But we have been living together and we don't even know your date of birth. This Geng Tie issue is really difficult to handle." Aunt Zhang said, feeling troubled again.
Shen Wanning sat on the chair. She didn't know her birth date, so she didn't know if she could make one up.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a message from Ningjing Wanfeng, the person she followed, in the live broadcast room.
This netizen is her number one sister and has sent her a lot of things. Although the netizen often calls her "girl", she always treats this netizen as her own big sister.
In recent months, he has often chatted privately with this netizen, and their relationship is like that of good friends who have never met.
Of course, to be precise, it was a netizen who saw her during the live broadcast, but she had never met this netizen.
She took a look at the private message this netizen sent her, which read: The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month in the 23rd year of Chongguang's reign, this date is a perfect match for her third brother's birthday.
Shen Wanning was stunned for a moment. She didn't even remember the reign title of the previous emperor. This netizen had such a good memory that he remembered the reign title of the previous emperor.
Shen Wanning immediately sent her a message: Thank you, sister, how come you remember it so clearly? I even forgot the reign title of the previous emperor.
The other party always calls her "girl", but she still likes to call the other party "sister".
Tranquil Evening Breeze: Haha, I have a good memory. My family is rich, so I have a lot of free time. I watch your live broadcasts every day, treating them like TV series, so I naturally remember everything I've watched.
Shen Wanning hesitated for a moment and said, "I vaguely remember that I was born in winter. It seemed like it was snowing heavily, and everyone was celebrating the festival. As for more, I don't remember."
Aunt Zhang thought for a moment. "Winter? Could it be Laba Festival? Or eating dumplings on the Winter Solstice? No, that's not right. People don't celebrate these two festivals specifically. Just eating Laba porridge or dumplings, does that mean it's Chinese New Year?"
Shen Wanning shook her head. "It probably wasn't Chinese New Year. It wasn't that lively yet. But I have a very vague impression that the atmosphere of Chinese New Year was already there."
"I know, it must be the Little New Year. Everyone will celebrate during the Little New Year and there will be a lot of delicious food." Xiaohu said.
Shen Wanning nodded. "Maybe, there seemed to be many maids walking around carrying a lot of food."
"Wan Ning, have you recovered your memory? What do you still remember?" Xu asked in surprise.
Shen Wanning shook her head. "No, I only remember this vague scene. I can't remember more."
Aunt Zhang made the final decision and said, "Since Wan Ning remembers it's around that date, why don't we just count it as the Little New Year's Day. Wan Ning is fifteen this year, so her birthday would be the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-third year of Chongguang's reign."
Then, Aunt Zhang looked at Lin Jingyou again and said, "The third child was born on July 20th, the 18th year of Chongguang. Tomorrow I will go to the next village to compare your horoscopes."
Shen Wanning nodded and said, "Mom, Third Brother won't be staying at home for long this time, so let's just skip the two steps of Nacai and Wenming and go straight to Naji. Third Brother and I are not the kind of people who care about these formalities."
"No, that won't work. We can't let you down." Aunt Zhang disagreed.
"Mother knows that I am not an ordinary woman and do not care about these formalities. Besides, we are a family. No one else knows whether we have completed those steps or not. Let's just say that we have exchanged engagement letters and asked for God's will." Shen Wanning continued.
Lin Jingyou didn't believe in these horoscopes. He was even more worried that if the horoscopes showed that their horoscopes were incompatible, Shen Wanning and Aunt Zhang would have grudges against each other. So he said, "Mom, I believe Wanning said this because she really wanted to do so. Other things are not important. What matters is that Wanning and I get along well."
Aunt Zhang was left with no choice but to agree. "Okay, then. After dinner, I'll place your two horoscopes under the teacups in front of the Kitchen God statue. That way, when others come to the feast, they'll know we're following the rules."
"Then I will talk to the village head about this tomorrow and ask everyone to come to our house for a dinner the day after tomorrow." Lin Dashan interrupted.
