Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

In fact, not only did the Sheng family want to keep Shi Ying, the perfect son-in-law, in their home, but Shi Ying himself was eager to enter the bridal chamber with Molan that night. Therefore, after receiving praise from Zhuang Xuejiu and Sheng Hong for his knowledge and confirming that he would be on the list like the brothers Changbai and Changfeng, he directly told Changbai and Changfeng his thoughts on Molan: "We are almost certain that we are of the same year, so I will say something directly. I like the fourth lady of the mansion and want to marry her."

Although Changbai and Changfeng felt it was a little abrupt, they were somewhat delighted by what Shiying said. Changfeng couldn't help but speak first: "Kagura, you are handsome and talented, why do you like my fourth sister?"

Shi Ying rarely felt that he was being tested. Since this was a matter concerning marriage, of course he had to take it seriously.

Shi Ying said seriously, "Although I only had a fleeting glimpse of the Fourth Young Lady that day, her grace has been in my mind for a long time. Judging from the preparations you two made during the Spring Examination, your upbringing is impeccable."

Shi Ying had tens of thousands of words of praise in her mind, but it was not appropriate to say them out loud at this time, so she only picked out two sentences that were least likely to go wrong and told the brothers Changbai and Changfeng.

After hearing this, the brother was more satisfied with Shi Ying and was more willing to believe that Shi Ying did not make the decision rashly.

Changbai immediately took out the posture of an elder brother and made the decision: "Good brother-in-law, I will go and help you inform your parents right away!"

Chang Feng thought of Shi Ying's appearance of bringing disaster to the country and the people. It was not a good idea to go out when things were not settled yet, so he patted Shi Ying's shoulder and said, "Good brother-in-law, when your parents give the nod, I will help you find a matchmaker to come to your house to propose marriage!"

Shi Ying was overjoyed and thanked him again and again. He went back and quickly packed the keepsake he had brought from home that he had carefully selected.

Changbai and Changfeng were also very happy. One went to explain the matter to Wang Ruofu while the other went to find Sheng Hong and Lin Qinshuang.

Although Wang Ruofu regretted that Shi Ying did not like her daughter Ruolan, she thought that Molan had come to Weiruixuan with Ruolan many times over the years. Even though she and Lin Qinshuang disliked each other, they got along well with the children. Besides, she was Molan's biological mother, and if Shi Ying married Molan, she would be Shi Ying's mother-in-law in full legal terms.

Wang Ruofu was smiling with joy, her excitement beyond words. She urged Changbai to go and explain the matter to Sheng Hong. Changbai did not mention that Changfeng had already gone to tell him, but smiled and agreed and hurried out.

As for Sheng Hong and Lin Qinshuang, they were naturally happier than Wang Ruofu.

Especially Lin Qinshuang, she has spoiled Molan over the years and always granted Molan's requests, just because she saw the difficulties Molan would have in finding a partner in the future. It was for this reason that Sheng Hong doted on Molan in the beginning.

After Sheng Hong and Chang Feng left, Lin Qinshuang couldn't help but come to Molan's yard. After the joy and excitement, some practical problems also came to the surface.

Lin Qinshuang combed Molan's hair, and with tears in her eyes she tried hard to smile, which made Molan feel sad and she almost burst into tears.

"My Mo'er is getting married now. As a mother, I am happy but also sad. Kagura's family is too far away. If she can't stay in the capital, we may never see each other again..."

Molan suppressed the strange bitter feeling in her heart, and smiled as she corrected Lin Qinshuang, "Mother, you are joking. Even if Shi Kagura really comes to propose marriage for my daughter, does my daughter have to agree?"

Now, Lin Qinshuang was provoked by Molan and suddenly became anxious. She threw all her sadness out of her mind and shouted, "Mo'er!"

"Just now, Kagura asked your brother to come and tell me and your father that he fell in love with you at first sight and wanted to marry you as his wife. Your father and I have agreed!"

After saying that, Lin Qinshuang felt that her tone was a little too harsh, so she softened her tone and continued, "Mo'er, Kagura was really a great choice at that time. If you didn't choose him, then I would have to look for someone else for you among the nobles."

Molan couldn't reject Shi Ying directly. After all, she admitted that Shi Ying was a rare person in every aspect. She could only nitpick and said, "My mother also said that Shi Shenle's family is in Liuzhou. I believe that his love at first sight is true. What if his family is not satisfied with their daughter?"

"And my daughter really hopes to continue living in the capital after marriage so that she can go home to visit her mother and father at any time."

What Molan said was realistic, and Sheng Hong in front had already considered it for her.

Sheng Hong did not rush to agree to the marriage, but first said to Shi Ying: "My dear nephew, with your talent and character, I believe that the families who want you to be their son-in-law in recent years are no less than the fish in the river. My Sheng family does have some rules, but my fourth son is still not a good match for you."

Changbai and Changfeng didn't say anything, just waited for Shiying's reaction with a smile.

Shi Ying had already sat upright, and after hearing this, he quickly replied: "Uncle is right. There have been many families who wanted to marry into the Shi family over the years, but at that time, Kagura really wanted to establish a career first, so he never agreed."

"That day when I saw the Fourth Young Lady, I was struck by her beauty and I began to have feelings for her. Later, Master Zhuang said that I had some knowledge and thought I was worthy of her, so I mustered up the courage to propose marriage for myself."

Sheng Hong thought he was a good judge of people. Of course he knew that Shi Ying was both talented in literature and martial arts. What was even more rare was that he had a pure heart. Others only wanted to achieve great things, but he wanted to serve the people.

It can be said that Sheng Hong is extremely satisfied with Shi Ying.

Sheng Hong nodded, and before Shi Ying could relax, he continued, "Although my daughter is far from being as rich and noble as the wealthy families, she has been raised in the palm of my hand since she was a child. Mo'er is nostalgic, and I'm afraid she will be reluctant to leave her home in the future."

Hearing this, Shi Ying was overjoyed and tried hard to suppress his excitement, but his brisk tone still revealed his true feelings, "Although Liuzhou is located in a remote area, not to mention compared to the capital, even compared to Youyang, it can be considered a poor and remote place, but the Shi family still has some family wealth. If it weren't for the difficulty of going out before the Spring Examination, I'm afraid my nephew would have already bought a property in the capital."

"Now that the Spring Examination is over, I have some free time. Why not ask you two brothers to look for me together?"

Then Shi Ying took the initiative to say that he was the youngest son in the family, the fourth in the family, and that his parents were already taken care of and accompanied by their older brothers. He also said that his parents were open-minded and had asked him to find a lady in the capital early on. In short, he tried his best to make it clear that Molan would not suffer any hardship if she married him.

Naturally, Sheng Hong became more and more satisfied the more he listened. He took Changbai and Changfeng together to finalize the marriage of Shi Ying and Molan, and they only waited for Shi Ying to invite the official matchmaker to propose marriage.

After exchanging horoscopes, Shi Ying went out in disguise every day to look for a house. The Sheng family's house was not small, and he didn't want Molan to suffer any grievances, so he kept comparing the Sheng family's houses, which made Changbai and Changfeng who followed him a little scared.
