Chapter two hundred and ninety seventh preparation
Taiping talked about the incident of Zhang Zong and Ning'er yesterday, then smiled at Zhang Zong with revenge, then looked at Princess Chengyang, waiting for her aunt to get angry and scold Zhang Zong.
But what Taiping never expected was that although Princess Chengyang glared at Zhang Zong after hearing this, she did not get angry. Instead, she looked at Taiping with a smile and said, "Okay, I understand this. I will go back and scold Ning'er later!"
"Aunt, aren't you angry? I saw Zhang Zong and Ning'er with my own eyes..."
Taiping was about to say something, but was interrupted by Xue Shao next to him again and said, "Don't complain anymore, Brother Shi and Ning'er are about to get engaged. What do they do have to do with you?"
"What! Zhang Zong and Ning'er are going to get engaged?" Taiping screamed in shock when he heard the news, looking disbelief.
"Yes, Zhang Zong came today, and he was actually discussing the proposal with me." Princess Chengyang did not hide it at this time, but explained with a smile.
"How could this happen? But why did I have no idea at all?" Taiping asked in disbelief when he heard this.
"It was Ning'er and Brother Shi who got engaged, and it wasn't you who got engaged to Brother Shi. What's your business?" Xue Shao sneered and mocked again. However, this time Taiping ignored Xue Shao, but instead showed a thoughtful look. He didn't know what she was thinking?
"Princess, then I'll go back and prepare to visit you the day after tomorrow!" Zhang Zong also stood up and said goodbye. After all, the main thing has been discussed, and Taiping is not a good person, so it's better to leave early.
"Okay, Sanlang, please send Zhang Zong off for me. I will talk to Taiping!" Princess Chengyang nodded at this time, and at the same time she was a little moved. When she came to the door again next time, Zhang Zong would become her son-in-law.
Xue Shao agreed upon hearing this, and then accompanied Zhang Zong out of the room, but then he excitedly suggested: "Brother Shi, your Ning'er's marriage has been settled. Should we go out for a big meal and celebrate?"
"The proposal has not been officially launched yet, so how can we say that it will be decided? It's too early to celebrate now. Otherwise, when the proposal is over the day after tomorrow, you call Li Dan and Chongye. How about we have a good celebration?" Zhang Zong also suggested with a relaxed smile.
"Okay, then I'll tell Li Dan and the others to go now and let them prepare the gift early!" Xue Shao also felt it made sense after hearing this, and then smiled again.
Zhang Zong laughed when he heard this. Then he and Xue Shao got on the carriage and came to Furong Garden again. Zhang Zong got off the car and prepared to go home. Xue Shao also got off the car and planned to go directly to Chongyan Pavilion from Zhang Zong.
However, just as they parted, Xue Shao suddenly thought of something. He immediately grabbed Zhang Zong, who was about to return to the room, and said, "Brother Shi, you are going to marry Ning'er. Wouldn't that be my sister-in-law? I am your uncle!"
Zhang Zong was also stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about this before, but he really couldn't call him when he thought of calling Xue Shao brother.
"Hahahaha~, I'm just kidding. Ning'er is Ning'er, I'm me. Let's just talk about their own things in the future. Brother Shi doesn't have to take such trivial matters to heart!" Xue Shao laughed as he looked at Zhang Zong's embarrassing look. He was just kidding. After all, he always thought that Zhang Zong was far more mature than him in terms of age and mind, and even his teacher. Now he suddenly became his brother-in-law, which made him feel very interesting.
"That's good!" Zhang Zong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xue Shao was joking.
Xue Shao said goodbye to Zhang Zong, then stepped into Furong Garden, Zhang Zong also came to the room, and Wan'er immediately stood up and saluted when she saw the smile on his face, saying, "Congratulations to the young master and the little princess for finally getting married!"
"This sentence is a bit early. How have you prepared for the proposal? Have the matchmaker found it?" Zhang Zong smiled and waved his hand, then asked again.
"I found it. I have contacted the most famous matchmaker in the capital. She had other things in her hands, but when I said it was the marriage between the young master and the Princess Chengyang Mansion, she immediately agreed without hesitation." Wan'er smiled and said, Zhang Zong is a famous bachelor in Chang'an City, not to mention the Princess Chengyang Mansion. If the matchmaker can take this job, he can also use it to gild her face in the future.
"That's good. Is there anything else that needs to be prepared?" Zhang Zong nodded first, and then asked with some concern. Proposing a marriage is not simply a visit, but a set of etiquette and requires a lot of things. The matchmaker is actually more like a host of later generations, responsible for this whole process.
"Don't worry, young master, the matchmaker has already made the order, and I have booked it. The shops will bring the things to you tomorrow." Wan'er smiled again. She was not idle at home today, and in fact she just came back.
"Hey, I'm not back yet, why have you bought all the things?" Zhang Zong asked in surprise when he heard this.
"Hehe~, the young master is going on, the eldest princess will definitely not refuse, so I bought something in advance." Wan'er smiled again at this time. She had never worried that Zhang Zong would be rejected.
Hearing Wan'er say this, Zhang Zong couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Wan'er's confidence was even more than herself. It seemed that she still had to be more confident. In fact, when she calmed down and thought about it, Princess Chengyang seemed to have no reason to reject her.
"By the way, there is another thing that you need to prepare early!" At this moment, Wan'er suddenly thought of something and spoke again.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Zong asked casually.
"House!" Wan'er reminded.
"House?" Zhang Zong was stunned when he heard this, then looked around, and then slapped his head, "Yes, if you get married, you really have to buy a house!"
Although Zhang Zong’s flower garden now lives in a good place, not only has a beautiful environment, but also is close to Furong Garden, which is very convenient for him to go to Chongxian Pavilion or meet Li Hong. However, it is still a little small after all, and there are not many houses in total. Ning'er is still a princess after all. She has been a princess since she was a child. Even if she doesn’t mind, Zhang Zong can’t feel wronged. Therefore, she must have a good house when getting married.
"Buy! Go and find Yaren tomorrow and ask them to help find out if there is a suitable house in Beijing!" Zhang Zong quickly made a decision and said that although the housing prices in Chang'an have risen to the sky, in order to get married, the money must be spent. Moreover, he has not been short of money in recent years, so it is not difficult to buy a house.
