The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 882 The Housekeeper's Daughter Watching the Young Master's Love (Ancient Times) 53

No matter what the Su family and the Lu family say about their marriage.

The Shao family has proposed marriage to Su Xiangran.

Mrs. Shao did not look down on the Su family just because they were a small family.

It was done completely in accordance with the process of three books and six ceremonies.

However, since Su Xiangran was still a few months away from coming of age, she only went through the steps of accepting the marriage proposal, asking for the name, accepting the good news, and accepting the betrothal gift.

The engagement letter and gift letter have also been given, but because the wedding date has not yet been officially set, the welcoming letter has not yet arrived.

On the day when the betrothal gifts were delivered, many people from the alley where the Su family lived came out to watch.

When everyone in the Su family saw the boxes of betrothal gifts being carried into the yard, they were all shocked.

In addition to the common gold, silver, jewelry, cloth and silk, there are also some precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and rare treasures.

The most eye-catching one among them is a pair of jade ruyi, which are crystal clear, warm and smooth, and obviously worth a lot at first glance.

In addition, there are some auspicious items, such as red dates, peanuts, longans, lotus seeds, etc., which symbolize the early birth of a son.

Su Xiangran looked at the generous betrothal gifts and felt secretly happy. At the same time, she also felt the importance the Shao family attached to this marriage.

The team delivering the betrothal gifts was huge, and the leader was the Shao family's chief steward.

Over the years, because of doing business with Shao Bowen, they have become acquaintances.

The people who delivered the betrothal gifts also carried in a few large vermilion boxes, followed by a group of servants holding various items.

After the box was opened, a gold cake the size of an adult's palm was found at the four corners of the box.

Then several tiles were neatly stacked in the box.

The onlookers exclaimed in amazement, and the faces of the Su family members were full of surprise and satisfaction.

Don't underestimate these tiles, because each tile represents a shop in the city.

These betrothal gifts not only demonstrated the Shao family's wealth, but also reflected their absolute importance attached to this marriage.

In this era, marriages between nobles often emphasize equal status. In terms of background, Su Xiangran and Shao Bowen are definitely not a match.

Even though Su Cheng is now a scholar, it cannot change the fact that his family is born as slaves.

That's why the Shao family made such a big fuss when they proposed marriage this time.

Such a big move undoubtedly gave the Su family great face.

Butler Su smiled as he walked up to Su Xiangran, pointed at the jade ruyi beside him and said, "Boss Su, that ruyi was specially found by my wife, and she even asked a high monk to bless it, and it is guaranteed to bring success to its owner."

"Thank you for your kindness, ma'am." Su Xiangran agreed with a smile.

The news that the Shao family had proposed to the Su family soon spread throughout the city. Everyone said that Su Xiangran's marriage was a good one. Although it was a bit of a high-class marriage in the eyes of the world, the attitude of the Shao family made it impossible for anyone to find fault with it.

Su Xiangran's marriage has just been arranged, and the marriage of Su Shangyun, the young lady of the Su family, has also been arranged. Just like in her previous life, her husband is a general in the capital.

In fact, Su Shangyun is only twelve years old now, so it is indeed a little early to get engaged now.

A few days later, Madam Su invited Su Xiangran and others to her house for a chat.

"Li Niang! You have finally come to a happy ending after all the hardships." Madam Su looked at Su Xiangran lovingly, "You can finally feel relieved that Xiaoran is able to marry so well.

I heard that Master Shao had proposed marriage to you a few years ago, but Xiao Ran was still young at the time, so you didn’t agree.”

Ever since Shao Bowen and Su Xiangran's marriage became clear, countless people have been discussing their affairs.

So much so that all the things that Shao Bowen said without thinking when they met for the first time were "dug up" again.

Of course, the fact that the two of them have been doing business together over the years has also been cited as a legend.

"That's not what I meant. It was just a joke at the time." Li Niang explained, "It's because the two children have been in contact with each other more and have come to know each other better over the years that this happened.

In fact, I was a little worried at first, but when the Shao family showed their willingness to propose marriage that day, I finally felt relieved."

"That's you." Madam Su said with a smile, "I know Xiao Ran best. She can be the mistress of any family! What a pity! My two sons are not up to the standard."

As they were talking, Su Xiangran watched Su Shangyun embroidering there, and occasionally the little girl was poked on the hand.

Looking at the lotus seeds and lilies on the handkerchief, Su Xiangran said, "Miss, are you starting to embroider these now? It's still too early for the wedding!"

Su Shangyun blushed and said, "It's for my sister as a gift. I wanted to embroider a pair of shoes for her."

Su Xiangran really didn't expect that this was embroidered for her, so she said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you for troubling Miss."

"Don't bother, it's just a token of my appreciation." Su Shangyun said with a smile, "As long as Sister likes it."

As they were talking, the second son of the Su family, Su Shangwen, also came in. He first greeted his mother, and then came over to his sister and the others.

"What is this embroidered?" Su Shangwen asked with a smile, "It looks pretty nice."
