And no matter how surprised Shen JunXi was, Father Shen and Yang Shi were still at a loss. Father Shen asked, “What exactly is the whole story? Can Steward He tell us what happened?” It sounded like Xi ge had something to do with the young master of the Song family, but was that possible?
He San said, “He mou shouldn’t have made this statement, but the situation is special, so I’ll keep it short.” He recounted what happened on the afternoon of the ninth day of April, and it turned into that Shen JunXi and Song JingWei were in love, they were accidentally discovered by the elders when they met, and finally got the elders’ consent.
As for whether Shen JunXi, the person in the know, would make a fuss or not, He San was not worried at all. As long as he was not a fool, he would not push the young master of Song Mansion away.
If one ignores the calculations involved, this story could be called a romantic and beautiful story. At least that’s what the Shen couple thought. They all looked at their son with inexplicable eyes. Shen DongMing was thinking: Okay, so it turns out that you have been dating outside for a long time. Good God, your mother and I even comforted you in every possible way.
Yang Shi’s thoughts were different from her husband’s. She thought deeper and further: Although her Xi ge is outstanding, what is the identity of the young master of the Song family? Can their Shen family afford to offend him?
In short, a young master from the Song family stunned the Shen family and astonished them. No one was calm, even Shen JunXi, who was indifferent on the surface.
He San revealed very considerately: “My family’s young master is also an infatuated lover. For your son, he actually drank the river water.”
The word “river water” successfully made the couple of Shen family’s hearts skip a beat, especially Yang Shi. She asked with sparkling eyes: “What did you say, ‘river water’?” But thinking about it, it was impossible. After all, that was the young master of the Song family.
“That’s right, our young master drank the river water that day.” He San sighed and said, “If this were not the case, my master would not agree.” When the conversation changed, he asked seriously: “I wonder how your eminent family plans to handle it?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
When they heard about the river water, the couple was overjoyed. When they heard about the word “your eminent family”, the couple looked around their dilapidated house, both showing embarrassment. How could their family afford to marry the young master of the Song Mansion? They didn’t even dare dream about it.

He San seemed to know Shen DongMing’s dilemma. He said: “Master Shen, don’t worry. Our master is not the kind of person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich. He said that as long as your son treats our young master well, then everything will be fine.” Afraid that Shen DongMing still didn’t understand, he simply said bluntly: “That includes all about betrothal gifts and so on. As long as there’s the intention, that’ll be enough. Instead, having a good relationship is the most important thing in life. Don’t you think so, Master Shen?”
Shen DongMing loved to hear that. He nodded in agreement and said, “Your master is right. That’s true. My wife and I are a poor couple. We have been together for decades, and we were never angry with each other.” After saying that, he felt that the master of the Song Mansion was a very good man.
He San said: “Then, that’s the deal?”
Shen DongMing thought for a while, and said with a smile, “As long as the master of the Song family doesn’t dislike our family’s poverty, and doesn’t despise our Xi ge…” Did the master of the Song family know that Xi ge couldn’t speak?
He San waved his hand and said, “No, no, my master is very satisfied with your son. He has already inquired about it a long time ago.”
This made all three members of the Shen family breathe a sigh of relief, including Shen JunXi, who couldn’t speak, and was listening quietly. There were some things that his parents didn’t know, but he knew them well. He knew best whether Song JingWei and he were in love with each other or not. But even so, he still did not want to refuse such an opportunity.
On the contrary, when he heard that the Song family master was very satisfied with him, he quietly relaxed, raised his eyebrows, and there was happiness he had never experienced before in his heart.
“Then it’s settled. He will go back and reply to Master right now. I’ll be waiting for your good news.” After He San finished the matter with success, he cupped his hands and said goodbye.
The Shen family sent him out enthusiastically, and promised that they would come to their house on a certain date.
Shen JunXi didn’t go out to see him off. He was still sitting in the room, and he looked rather dazed in the eyes of the Shen family couple.
Shen DongMing couldn’t hide his joy. After sending He San off, he immediately returned to the room and questioned Shen JunXi: “You kid, why don’t you explain quickly? What is going on between you and the young master of the Song Mansion?”
Yang Shi also asked curiously: “Yes, when did you meet such a big man? How come your father and I didn’t know about it?” Her Xi ge was filial and obedient, and he never hid anything.
It’s not that Shen JunXi didn’t want to tell the truth this time, but that he couldn’t. He would rather his parents never know there was a scheme for the rest of their lives.
“You said you just met each other not long ago?” Yang Shi said worriedly after reading Shen JunXi’s sign language: “Then what kind of person is the young master of the Song family? Since you just met not long ago, why does he insist on getting married?” If he really liked her Xi ge that much, shouldn’t it be like the young master of the Song family taking her son to wife into his family?
Of course, it was not that Yang Shi did not want her son to marry the other person (as a wife). She even hoped that the young master of the Song family would marry into her family. The problem was that the matter was too strange and unexplainable.
Shen JunXi thought for a while, and after he made a few signs with sign language, he stopped explaining.
Yang Shi and her husband Shen DongMing looked at each other, and then their faces turned red. When did their Xi ge become so shameless? What was there to be proud of himself?
“Oh, forget it. It’s a good thing that he’s willing to get married. Let’s not worry about it too much.” Shen DongMing still had many things to worry about. He said, “Hurry up and invite the matchmaker to prepare Xi ge’s bazi.”
Yang Shi nodded and said, “That’s right. I’ll go and make arrangements right away.”
Shen DongMing said, “From tomorrow onwards, our house must be tidied up. It can no longer be sloppy. Xi ge’s wife is a young master from a wealthy family. We can’t let him suffer.”
Yang Shi and Shen JunXi had no choice but to keep their house clean and tidy every day. If they want to reach the level that the young master of Song Mansion would like, they would have to build a new house.
Building a new house requires money, but the Shen family didn’t have that much money.
The Song Mansion said no betrothal gift was needed, but their family couldn’t really not give the betrothal gifts. When the time came, decorating the wedding room, buying new furniture, holding a wedding ceremony, and inviting people to the wedding feast were all things that needed money.
Shen JunXi listened to Yang Shi’s nagging, feeling distressed on the one hand and happy on the other. It was such a contradictory taste.
“Xi ge, without further ado, let’s ask the matchmaker to come to our door tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow our family of three will pay a visit and send the betrothal gifts?” Shen DongMing thought about it several times, wondering if he was too anxious? He looked at his wife and son, was he too anxious?
Yang Shi and Shen JunXi nodded, which did not mean that their family’s old Shen was anxious, but was agreeing to invite a matchmaker tomorrow and sending the betrothal gifts the day after tomorrow.
Yeah marry well and pamper well Junxi!😋
