My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

After hearing the Li family's affirmative reply, the first person to relax was naturally the elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu.

No matter what, looking at today's situation, the Li family is still satisfied with their son, so she feels somewhat happy in her heart.

Gu Shaoyu didn't waste any more nonsense. He looked at Mr. Li and said with fists in his hands.

Nowadays, things in the court are complicated. If the marriage of the two children is decided earlier, our families will feel more at ease. So I brought Ping'er today, along with his birth date and the betrothal gift list. , Mr. Li, please take a look at it, if you can, I will send someone to deliver the things to your house when you get back!

At this point, not to mention Mrs. Li, even Mr. Li felt that it was a little too fast.

In this betrothal engagement, the first step is to exchange Geng Tie, each of them has to combine the eight-character sayings, but the first step is to send a betrothal gift list, which is a bit too anxious.

However, when Gu Shaoyu faced Mr. Li, his finger pointed slightly towards the sky. Mrs. Li looked confused, but Mr. Li understood the concerns of the person in front of him, so after being silent for a short while, he agreed.

What General Gu said is that it has to be decided sooner or later, so there is no need to procrastinate. The betrothal gift will be delivered today. My Li family will accept it, and this family will never regret it.

master……

Mrs. Li gave birth to four sons and two daughters, and she felt sorry for all of them.

Of course she was happy that her daughter could find a good family, but she was so busy that she only came to propose marriage in the morning, and then sent a betrothal gift to her door in the afternoon. I wonder if she thought her daughter had done something wrong, so she rushed She wanted to enter the Duke's mansion, so naturally she didn't want to agree.

However, Mr. Li understands that His Majesty does not have many days left. If he closes his eyes tomorrow, wouldn't it mean that the marriages of these people will be postponed?

Postponement is not a terrible thing, but if something goes wrong during the period, the Gu family may not be happy, and the Li family will regret it. Therefore, the affairs of the court are changing rapidly, and he does not dare to really gamble with his daughter's marriage.

So he raised his hand and waved to Mrs. Li, and then said.

Madam, don't worry. Since I can agree, there is a reason why I agree.

The remaining half of the sentence is that it's hard to say now. I'll talk to you in detail later.

Seeing this, although Mrs. Li frowned, she didn't say anything more. She retreated to Mr. Li's side and looked at the future uncle Shang Zhiping. She also thought that it would be better to arrange a marriage for her eldest daughter as soon as possible. , otherwise the younger sister has decided, and the older sister has not yet decided, and there will inevitably be more gossip outside.

Unexpectedly, Shang Zhiping stood up the next moment and spoke respectfully to Mr. Li and Mrs. Li.

Zhi Ping Xinyue, the eldest lady of the Li family, will definitely treat her well in the future. Please rest assured, uncle and aunt!

Yuan Mei? No...

Mrs. Li was about to say Yuan Jiao next, but was stopped by Mr. Li's eyes. Words about two women vying for a husband could not spread from their Li family. Then Mr. Li turned to Shang Zhiping, asked seriously.

Yuan Mei has a calm temperament, unlike Yuan Jiao who is more lively. Zhi Ping has a good eye. I think you would prefer someone with a more congenial temperament.

Although the words were spoken on behalf of the eldest daughter, they sounded like a question.

Everyone thought that he liked the second daughter more. Why did the one who came to ask for marriage today become the eldest daughter? Then he thought that maybe after the Gu family had discussed it, they still felt that the eldest daughter was more suitable, so Mr. Li also wanted to know the reason. .

Shang Zhiping heard his doubts, so he replied more firmly.

What my uncle said is true, but since I was a child, I have liked people with a calmer temper, such as my grandmother, mother, and sixth aunt. I want to marry a virtuous wife to my liking. The eldest daughter of the Li family is the virtuous person I want. My wife is also the one I like, so don’t worry, there will never be any compromise in it, and I will never let the eldest lady feel wronged.

He said it sincerely. Mr. Li and Mrs. Li can't force themselves anymore. Maybe they have misunderstood it. So what they have to worry about now is how to explain this matter to their two daughters, so they don't have time to discuss it here. flat.

Nodding, this marriage was accepted in a down-to-earth manner.

Sister-in-law Liu personally handed over the betrothal gift list. The thick book showed the sincerity of the General's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion, so the Li family and his wife said nothing more.

He just told Shang Zhiping.

It is said that you must first get married and then start a career. Now that we have accepted this marriage, it is certain that your family will be successful. It is time to think about what to do in the future. If you want to support the huge stall in the Duke's Mansion, Getting up also requires some skills, so I will learn from your uncle Liu, do you understand?

Ping'er understands, thank you uncle for your guidance.

Um.

After leaving the Li family, Mrs. Liu's sister-in-law felt a sense of relief that could not be concealed. The thing that worried her most was finally settled, so her first reaction was to go back to the country. Mansion, go to the ancestral hall to tell your deceased husband the good news.

However, the current Duke's Mansion was not something they could return to if they wanted to, so they gave up the idea as soon as the words came to their lips.

Sister-in-law, let's go back quickly. We agreed to send the betrothal gift immediately, so don't delay.

Okay, you are right, let's go, let's go back and carry things now!

Shang Zhiping's betrothal gift had been prepared long ago, so he only needed to return to Lanmingyuan, unlock the warehouse, and carry it out naturally.

They were very deft, but there was a bit of commotion in the Li family's house at the moment.

Is it me? Shouldn't it be my sister?

The eldest lady of the Li family was also quite shocked when she heard that the marriage was arranged for her. Mrs. Li kept in mind what her husband had just said, so she immediately explained it to her daughter.

Your aunt has talked about the benefits of this marriage many times when she came to the door, so your mother didn't mention it too much. The Gu family came in a hurry today, and they were also anxious. Your father said that there might be some changes in the court. , so it’s better to hurry up. You are now sixteen, and Shang Zhiping is eighteen, which is the right age to get engaged. Even if it takes a year and a half to get married, it won’t be a big deal. It’s just the right time for us to take a closer look. preparations.

That's true, but did my parents really ask clearly? Is it really me?

Then Shang Zhiping said it categorically both times. Can your father and I get it right? At the beginning, we also thought that it would be most suitable for you to marry me. With your sister's temperament, I hope she can be like this. Just like when the sister-in-law of the Gu family married into the Guo family, she just wanted to live in peace and happiness. Today's arrangement is exactly what we planned from the beginning. (End of Chapter)
