  Only women who have been married understand how good a family like the Cheng family is.

The men of the Cheng family did not take concubines or go to brothels. The husband and wife were harmonious, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were harmonious, and the sisters-in-law were harmonious. harmony.

  The three brothers have a good relationship and there is no competition or estrangement.

  Especially Cheng Jinting, who was the top scholar in the previous term and was almost recruited as the consort by Princess Kangping. He was not afraid of imperial power, not greedy for imperial power, and defended his own happiness.

  Originally, he had been the object of admiration for all the women in the capital's boudoirs since he was a child, and there were countless women who wanted to marry him.

  I never thought that he would fall in love with me. After all, she is not the most knowledgeable, not the most beautiful, and not the strongest background.

  What does he like about her?

  "Why are you two here crying for me?" Cheng Yurong said she was disgusted, but in fact she was moved in her heart.

  After all, the Cheng family is his natal family, who wouldn't be happy hearing someone praise their natal family in person?

  "Don't cry. You must laugh every day in the future."

  "Yes, Sister Rong." Mrs. Tan cried and laughed at the same time, looking very funny.

  Everyone laughed loudly.

  Ruan Ruan was holding a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and eating it while laughing.

  Happiness is so simple.

  It turns out that seeing other people's smiles makes you happy too.

  ...

  After settling the marriage between Cheng Jinting and Tan Yingying, Cheng Yurong came to the Cheng Mansion in the afternoon and told the Cheng family the good news.

  The auspicious date for the engagement is ten days later.

  As for the auspicious days for getting married, the masters were asked to pick out two. The Cheng family and the Tan family have not yet decided on an auspicious day, so they will not announce it to the outside world for the time being.

  As soon as he entered the capital, people lined up on both sides to welcome him.

  The Cheng family and Shen Hong's family also greeted him at the city gate. Seeing Cheng Jinmiao's bronze skin, they all knew that he had suffered a lot in the past six months.

  Even though the emperor agreed to promote the crops across the country, the emperor could not suppress local snakes all over the country. They were jealous and would choose to destroy them if they couldn't get them.

  Cheng Jinmiao smiled at his relatives and raised his head without saying a word, because he had to bring thirty carts of crops into the palace to answer the question.

  Shen Hong and Mr. Cheng, Cheng Yi, Cheng Er and Cheng Jinting all wore official robes and entered the palace together.

  The emperor held a banquet in the palace today to celebrate the harvest and the successful promotion across the country.

  When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw the emperor and dozens of ministers greeting him at the palace gate.

  Cheng Jinmiao's eyes were moist. Since he went to the south in July, he has suffered a lot.

  The wind and sun are blowing, and the storm is raging.

  Not acclimatized to the climate and get sick.     Three meals a day are as light as the autumn wind.

  The common people don't understand and scold them.

  Obstruction and destruction by local forces.

  ...

  That night, the palace was filled with music and music, and fireworks were brilliant.

  The ministers were treated to delicacies made from potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and peanuts.

  ...

  The next night,

  the Cheng Mansion held a banquet and invited his relatives, friends and bureaucrats to come together to welcome Cheng Jinmiao.

  Shen Hong's family dressed up to attend.

  The Tan family was also on the list of distinguished guests. Master Tan came to Cheng Mansion early with his four daughters and Mrs. Tan.

  Cheng Jinmiao knew that his eldest brother was about to get engaged to Tan Yingying, the second young lady of the Tan family.

  When he met the Tan family, he was particularly polite to them.

  ...

  Four days later,

  the engagement day of Cheng Jinting and Tan Yingying came, and it was held at the Tan family, which was considered to give the Tan family face.

  Because relatives and friends from the Cheng family will go to the Tan family for the engagement banquet, and the Cheng family contributes money.

  Shen Hong went to court and came here specially for a meal at noon.

  Cheng Yurong and her five children have been entertaining guests.

  All the Cheng family members came, no one missing.

  Tan Huanwan and her husband also came to Tan Mansion and brought a generous gift.

  Tan Yingying was dressed up. When she saw Cheng Jinting, who was also dressed up, her face was as red as a lantern and she didn't dare to look at him.

  It made him very depressed and thought she didn't like him.

  There was a large box of silver on the table, totaling eighteen thousand taels.

  There are also two engagement letters.

  Tan Yingying signed her name and stamped her fingerprints.

  He stood motionless, his head lowered.

  "Don't be nervous, I won't eat you." Cheng Jinting stood next to her and teased her in a low voice.

  "..." Tan Yingying raised her head and glared at him quickly, lowered her head and stopped moving.

  "I want to get married after the new year, do you think that's okay?" Cheng Jinting saw her naughty look and wished he could get married today.

  The master chose two days, one was the twentieth day of the first lunar month and the other was the ninth day of the third lunar month.

  He felt that the twentieth day of the first lunar month was better, as it was only one month away from today.

  "Yingying, do you also like the days after the new year? Then we have settled." Cheng Jinting kept staring at her.

  "No, I can't finish embroidering the wedding dress in a month." Tan Yingying bit her lip and stamped her feet anxiously. Cheng Jinting

  smiled and said: "If you can't finish the embroidery, just hire some embroiderers. Anyway, I don't care, I want to get married after the new year. If I marry you home early, I can work on my career with peace of mind."

  "..." Tan Yingying was speechless. Having said that, let nature take its course!

  Since he is so anxious...

  Tan Yingying will not tell Cheng Jinting. In fact, she is also very anxious.

  Only by marrying him as soon as possible would she not have to worry about him being snatched away by Princess Kangping.

  Everyone was happy to see them flirting and having such a good relationship.

  Ruan Ruan was also happy because there were a lot of delicious food at the engagement party.

  She took Dou Ling and Tian Cang, who were half a year old, to eat all kinds of delicious food.

  The two little pets grew bigger and bigger, reaching a weight of seventy or eighty kilograms, like adult male wolves.
