My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

Chapter 149 Proposal

Early in the morning, the Fu Mansion was filled with joy.

Two rows of red boxes were placed in the spacious courtyard, each of which was tied with a big red ribbon, making it look particularly festive.

Uncle Zhang, smiling, held the gift list in his hand and checked the items in the box over and over again, fearing that he might miss anything.

Matchmaker Wang Mei at the side couldn't help but joked: "Uncle Zhang, you have checked three times, and pacing back and forth makes me dizzy."

The profession of matchmaker has a very high status in the capital. Whether it is high-ranking officials or ordinary people, marriages are often inseparable from their matchmaking. Wang the matchmaker is the most famous matchmaker in the capital.

Zhang Bo couldn't help laughing after hearing this, but he replied without turning his head: "This is the most important happy event in our Fu Mansion, and the whole mansion is full of expectations. These betrothal gifts sent to the Shen Mansion must not be wrong in the slightest."

Zhang Bo's heart was filled with joy. What he had been looking forward to day and night for two years was now becoming a reality.

"The Shen family is also a reasonable family. They won't make things difficult for us when we go to deliver the betrothal gifts today."

Matchmaker Wang sat leisurely on the stool, waving the palm-leaf fan in her hand rhythmically.

She remembered that a month ago, Erlang of the Fu family found her and wanted to ask her to arrange a marriage between the Fu family and the Shen family.

The master and his wife of the Fu family passed away, and there were no relatives. Matchmaker Wang had met Mrs. Fu once before, so she readily agreed...

Shi Nuan dressed neatly early and paced back and forth in the corridor anxiously, "Second brother, are you okay?" How could he not be in a hurry to propose marriage?

"It's an auspicious time, let's go." Fu Shiyan opened the door and said slowly.

I saw that the second brother was wearing a purple court robe, with a gold spider-patterned belt of the same color tied around his waist, and his black hair was fixed with a gold crown. He looked handsome and his eyes revealed an innate nobility.

"Brother looks pretty good today." Shi Nuan smiled and praised, Brother is so handsome, he charmed Sister Huaying, hahahaha...

Passersby on Chang'an Street saw the servants of the Fu Mansion carrying the betrothal gifts walking on the street, and they couldn't help but stop and watch curiously.

Everyone started talking about it.

"This looks like a marriage proposal! But, who is the Fu family marrying? Why haven't we heard any news?"

"Yeah, it's really strange. I've never heard of which girl Fu Jia Erlang likes!"

"I haven't recovered from the surprise of him getting the top score in the imperial examination, and they are getting married so soon?"

People were full of confusion and were very surprised by this sudden news.

At this time, a woman suddenly remembered something and said, "My aunt once made wedding dresses in the Shen Mansion. Could it be... the Shen family?"

"Oh? Is that Miss Shen who went to the manor to recuperate for two years a few years ago?"

"Yes, it's her! During the Chinese New Year this year, I met Miss Shen when I was burning incense in the temple. At that time, she was sending two old maids from the Fu Mansion home! Maybe they were destined to meet at that time."

"In this case, the Shen and Fu families are indeed well matched, the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, it can be said that they are a match made in heaven!"

"I wonder how many men and women in the capital city will have their hearts broken now!" everyone sighed.

Along the way, the brother and sister listened to the chatter and suspicion of passers-by, and smiled without answering.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of Shen's mansion. Fu Shiyan asked the servants to place the betrothal gifts neatly at the door, then walked forward and knocked gently on the door.

The doorman came running over after hearing the noise, opened the door, saw the scene in front of him, and said with a smile: "Second Master Fu and Miss Shi Nuan, please come in quickly!"
