Chapter 1755: Chapter 1755: Getting Engaged?
Then, Fang Wen asked, “Uncle, Aunty, are all the family members at home? I have something I’d like to discuss with everyone.” He quickly added, “It’s good news.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could tell it was good news. Otherwise, their Xue Bai couldn’t have smiled like that. Even if he managed to smile, it would have been forced and better not to smile at all.
Jiang Yue said, “They are home, but they’ve gone out to visit neighbors.”
Little Yan Yan couldn’t wait to get down from her Brother Xue Bai’s arms, “I’ll call them! I’ll call them! Yan Yan will go call them!” She was so eager.
Xue Bai let her down with a laugh, thinking how adorable their little Yan Yan was.
Little Xue Yan was familiar with every household in the village and knew where grandparents, eldest uncle, fourth aunt, and others had gone for their visits. They had mentioned where they were going when they left, and little Xue Yan happily rushed off to call them back.
Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, Emperor Hao Xuanyuan, Duke Shao, Xue Yifu, Li Hehua, and others hurried back. Emperor Hao Xuanyuan even bent down to pick up his precious granddaughter, little Xue Yan, and quickly walked her home.
“What’s the matter, Xue Bai?” everyone asked as soon as they returned and gathered in the main room. “We heard it’s good news, but what exactly is it? Come on, Xue Bai, out with it.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also sat down in the main room.
Little Xue Yan didn’t come over to her parents but sat in her grandfather Emperor Hao Xuanyuan’s arms, playing with a grasshopper that her Grandpa Dafu had made for her—such a well-behaved child.
Xue Bai unconsciously scratched his head and gave a sheepish chuckle before he talked about his relationship with Yang Wenwan.
Yang Wenwan had previously visited their home. Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and others had met her and liked her since she had a good temperament. Naturally, they were more than happy and felt that she was well-matched with their Xue Bai.
Especially Xue Yifu and Li Hehua, they were overjoyed. They had been looking forward to seeing their Xue Bai grow up to get married and have children, and with Yang Wenwan’s kind disposition, they felt she was perfect for their honest and simple Xue Bai.
Only Jiang Yue and Xue Yan exchanged a glance.
It had only been a few days since the incident with Wu Lingxi, yet their Xue Bai had already realized his feelings and confessed to Yang Wenwan. They didn’t even have to think about it to know that Xue Shi must have been behind this.
However, since their Xue Bai and Yang Wenwan liked each other and Yang Wenwan did indeed have a good temperament—something they always thought suitable for their Xue Bai—they naturally had no objections.
And so, the matter was settled.
Li Hehua quickly found a matchmaker and prepared many gifts for the proposal. Three days later, Xue Yifu and Li Hehua, along with Xue Bai and the gifts, and accompanied by the matchmaker, went to the Yang family to propose marriage.
The Yang family had already been informed by Yang Wenwan. The County Magistrate and the Cui family hadn’t expected it, but after having been forewarned and being mentally prepared, they hurriedly welcomed the guests inside.
Although the County Magistrate and the Cui family felt they were marrying above their station, they wanted their daughter to be happy and couldn’t refuse the offer, as the other family belonged to the Heavens, and he was just a humble county magistrate. Ultimately, they accepted the marriage proposal.@@novelbin@@
On the twenty-fourth of August, the betrothal was formalized. Although Yang Wenwan had not yet been brought into their home, having accepted the betrothal gifts officially made her part of the Xue family.
A good day was chosen, and two months later, on the twenty-fourth of October, the couple was to be wed.
