Han Yucheng was carried along the way by two healthy servants of the Du family. He was happy and nervous at the same time, and his heart was pounding non-stop.
Are you going to meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law now? He, he's not ready yet...
After entering the gate of Du Mansion, the two men put him down and said with a smile: "Mr. Han, because I was afraid that you would be snatched away by other families, you guys have been offended a lot."
Han Yucheng said hurriedly: "I'm fine."
The steward of the Du Mansion had been waiting aside for a long time. At this time, he said attentively: "Mr. Han, will you follow me to the front hall to meet the master and madam now?"
Han Yucheng's face turned red and he said, "Please wait a moment, steward."
Although the steward didn't know the reason, he still nodded: "Mr. Han, please do it."
Han Yucheng first tidied up his robe that had been torn apart just now, and then touched his bun. He breathed a sigh of relief when he felt that it was not messy.
After arranging his appearance, he took a deep breath for a while, calmed down, and thought about what to say later, and then said to the steward: "Please lead the way for me, steward."
The steward looked on and saw that his attitude was so solemn, and he couldn't help but feel very fond of Mr. Han.
The second young lady has really good taste, and this marriage will most likely be a success.
The steward led Han Yucheng to the front hall with a smile on his face.
When the concierge announced Mr. Han's arrival, several people in the front hall were already sitting upright.
The steward introduced Han Yucheng: "This is Master and Madam."
Han Yucheng made a junior salute and said hello to Mr. and Mrs. Du: "Junior Han Yucheng has met Mr. and Mrs. Shangshu."
Du Shangshu nodded slightly, and Mrs. Du also smiled.
The housekeeper introduced the eldest aunt and young master of the Du family in turn. After everyone greeted them, Mrs. Du invited Han Yucheng to come and have tea.
The eldest aunt of the Du family returned to her parents' home today. She had long heard that her family had snatched a Jinshi for her sister and came back as her husband. At this time, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Seeing that the Jinshi had a handsome face and was humble and courteous, she couldn't help but praise: "What a handsome young man. He has been promoted to high school at such a young age. He will definitely have a great future."
Han Yucheng said warmly: "Madam, you are overly praised. It's just a fluke."
Mrs. Du was also very satisfied.
They had already inquired about it. Mr. Han was the eldest son of Uncle Ning Yuan, and he had an older sister who was Princess Yu. He was from a very good background.
Moreover, Mr. Han is very talented and of good character, and his daughter has a good impression of him. Isn't this marriage a good match?
Mrs. Du liked her prospective son-in-law no matter what, and asked a few questions about her family affairs, and Han Yuchengdu answered them one by one.
Du Shangshu didn't say much, he just listened to his words and looked at his expression and posture when he spoke.
After listening for a while, Du Shangshu also nodded secretly, feeling that his youngest daughter had a very accurate vision and that this boy from the Han family was indeed quite talented.
The young master of the Du family couldn't help but ask Han Yucheng: "Brother Han, how did you study? I haven't even passed the examination to be a scholar, and my father said that I have a stupid head."
Du Shangshu raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you still embarrassed to say it?"
The eldest aunt of the Du family smiled and said, "Father, don't be so strict. Brother Cheng is still young."
Du Zicheng said quickly: "Father, what's so embarrassing about this? I just want to test for fame, so I asked Brother Han."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much more relaxed.
Han Yucheng picked up a few interesting anecdotes from his studies and told them to the young master of the Du family, and also told some of the methods he had learned on his own.
Du Zicheng listened carefully and started laughing with him.
Everyone was getting excited when they heard the concierge announcing: "Master, Madam, Princess Yu is here."
Han Yucheng's eyes suddenly flashed with joy.
Is my sister going to marry him?
Everyone in the hall was suddenly shocked. Although they knew that Princess Yu was Mr. Han's sister, they did not expect that she would come here at this time.
Princess Yu has a distinguished status, so she must have attached great importance to this marriage, so she came in person.
Everyone hurriedly came forward to greet him.
Princess Yu supported Mrs. Du and said with a smile: "Du Shangshu, Mrs. Du, I'm here for Yucheng's marriage. We don't have to be so polite."
Chu Siqing also followed her mother and concubine with a smile.
When Du Shangshu saw the saint coming, his eyelids jumped involuntarily.
He remembered that in the court, the saint's inner voice revealed the gossip about the censor of Zuodu and the prince of Wei Guogong, and he himself even ate melon with them.
Du Shangshu thought to himself: Fortunately, only the princes and ministers can hear the saint's voice.
Otherwise, if the Holy Lady breaks out some gossip here today, how can the scene be contained?
Mrs. Du hurriedly invited Princess Yu to sit down and ordered the maid to bring more tea.
The eldest aunt of the Du family reminded her with a smile: "Mom, let my sister come out to meet the princess."
Only then did Mrs. Du remember: "Yes, I almost forgot."
After speaking, she said to the maid: "Go and ask the second young lady to come out to see Princess Yu."
The maid took the order and went.
At this time, everyone exchanged greetings.
Not long after, the second young lady of the Du family came out.
Seeing Miss Du come out, Han Yucheng was secretly excited, but at this time he sat still and did not dare to look at her.
Du Ruoxi first greeted everyone in the general direction and then sat down under Mrs. Du.
Princess Yu looked at it secretly and was quite satisfied.
Before, she only looked at it from a distance outside the teahouse, but now she saw it face to face, and she was really relieved.
She raised her voice and praised: "Miss Du Er is really kind and caring. I liked her very much as soon as I saw her."
Du Ruoxi smiled slightly, lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your love."
Han Yucheng felt like a hundred claws scratching his heart, wishing that his sister would propose marriage as soon as possible.
Sitting in the arms of her mother-in-law, Chu Siqing had already seen her uncle's expression clearly, and she couldn't help but snicker in her heart.
Then, she said in a sweet voice: "Mother, concubine, propose... kiss..."
After hearing this, everyone was stunned and couldn't help laughing.
Han Yucheng blushed and looked at his niece, and Chu Siqing smiled proudly at him.
Uncle, I will help you this time!
Mrs. Du said: "I heard in the past that the saint was precocious and wise, but today I saw that she was really like this."
Du Shangshu couldn't help but curse in his heart: It's more than just precocious wisdom! He is simply too smart!
Otherwise, how could so many princes and ministers be defeated by the voice of the saint?
Princess Yu couldn't help laughing, and said directly: "What Siqing said is that today I am here to propose marriage to Yucheng."
She asked the maid to take out the gold hairpins that she had prepared long ago, and said solemnly: "According to the custom, I will give Miss Du Er a pair of gold hairpins on behalf of the Han family. The marriage between the two families has been decided. Du Shangshu and Mrs. Du agree." How about the next one?"
Du Shangshu and Mrs. Du naturally had no objections and agreed with a smile: "Just as the princess said."
Princess Yu personally put on the golden hairpin for Miss Du Er.
Now the marriage between the two families has been preliminarily decided, and the formal process will begin in the future.
