The Red Chamber: Starting from Saving Xue Baochai

Chapter 61 What kind of holy favor is this

How could Shen Yuan not hear that Mrs. Wang was looking for trouble?

He asked himself whether he had ever offended Mrs. Wang on his own initiative. The last time he scolded Jia Baoyu was because Big-Faced Bao had provoked him.

Mrs. Wang disregarded the dignity of her elders and spoke harshly, so she does not deserve respect.

But Shen Yuan still gave the necessary explanation. He looked at Aunt Xue again and said, "Don't worry, Aunt. I will prepare a good yard before the wedding and will not let Sister Xue down."

"Actually." Aunt Xue originally wanted to say that the Xue family courtyard that Shen Yuan was currently renting would be given to the young couple as Baochai's dowry.

But then he thought again, the young man in front of him was not an ordinary person, but a martial arts champion who was well-known in the capital. If he said that, it would be a bit of an underestimation of him, so he changed his words.

"Brother Yuan has always been a man who values ​​love. If Bao follows you in the future, I believe that I will not let her down."

Aunt Xue then helped Mrs. Wang smooth things over: "Aunt Baochai is also concerned about that girl, Yuan'er, don't take it to heart."

Shen Yuan nodded. If Madam Wang didn't want to cause trouble, he didn't want to argue with a woman in a secluded house.

Mrs. Wang had a gloomy face at the moment, but she said no more. For some reason, every time things involved Shen Yuan, she would lose her temper and always end up in trouble. It was as if the young man was her nemesis, making her feel disgusted and repulsed from the bottom of her heart.

Grandmother Jia saw this and was displeased. It was such a happy occasion, but the daughter-in-law had to make things unhappy.

But the old lady couldn't interfere too much, after all, it was the Xue family's business.

In the warm room, Baochai's heart, which had just been in a knot, finally relaxed and instead felt sweet.

Especially when she heard the young man say that he would protect her and love her, Baochai's heart could not help but tremble slightly, and she felt moved.

Daiyu and the others were also touched. Although they were still ignorant about love, the feelings of young girls are always poetic. Which girl would not yearn for such a warm and sweet love?
Xiangyun had two dimples on her round face, which was as white as snow. She blinked her black grape-like eyes and said with a smile, "Brother Shen really loves Sister Bao. I envy him so much~"

Baochai's soft almond eyes seemed to sparkle, and she smiled sweetly, "Sister Yun, when you grow up, you will also meet someone who loves you like this."

Daiyu's eyes moved slightly, she smiled softly and said, "Sister Yun probably wants to find someone like Master Shen, but unfortunately, there is only one outstanding martial arts champion in the world."

"Sister Lin is making fun of me again. I won't let you off this time!" Xiangyun said, and started to tickle Daiyu, vowing to make Sister Lin beg for mercy.

Several girls were playing around in the warm room, while in the hall, the marriage proposal process was going on.

Because the man and woman are already familiar with each other, they skip the two processes of Nacai and asking for the name and go directly to the Naji stage.

The matchmaker told Aunt Xue, Grandmother Jia and the others the horoscopes that Shen Yuan and Baochai had agreed upon in advance.

I have to say that the matchmaker is professional in this matter, and she speaks very clearly and eloquently.

Moreover, the so-called horoscope matching and divination are only for the purpose of asking for good luck, so naturally they are all associated with the positive side.

The matchmaker spoke in vivid detail, and Aunt Xue was delighted to hear her. Grandmother Jia also felt touched by the joy and looked delighted.

When Shen Yuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As expected, every industry has its own experts. The famous media person from the capital that he had hired at a high price was indeed worth the money.

Half an hour later, the matchmaker's task was completed. Aunt Xue had no objection, and even Lady Jia said it was a good idea.

Afterwards, Shen Yuan read the letter of appointment.

“When two families marry, they sign a contract together;
A good marriage is forever, a match made in heaven;
Look at the peach blossoms burning this day, it is suitable for IKEA;

I predict that your descendants will continue to prosper and be prosperous in the coming years;

I write this letter with my promise to you to be together till old age;
It is better to record the Red Leaf Alliance in the Mandarin Duck Genealogy;
This is the proof.

After signing and stamping, Shen Yuan and Baochai's marriage was officially settled. Then, they presented the live goose prepared in advance and some engagement gifts, and the marriage was completed.

During the whole process, except for Mrs. Wang's question, there were basically no obstacles.

This is also due to Shen Yuan's current status as the top martial arts champion. He is not only famous in the capital, but will soon have the power to match it.

At this point, Shen Yuan had finally resolved a worry, and this relationship that he had been on since traveling through time had a perfect beginning.

Shen Yuan collected his thoughts and looked towards the warm room in the east. He knew that there was a gentle and graceful girl there, who must be looking at him at this moment.

Aunt Xue was very pleased to see this young man who was deeply in love with her daughter. She smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, why don't you go to Lixiangyuan for dinner later? Pan'er is here too, so let him drink some wine with you to celebrate."

Shen Yuan nodded and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, aunt."

Jia Zheng and Jia Lian were not around, so Grandmother Jia was not in a position to invite Shen Yuan to dinner. She smiled and said, "When Baoyu's father is around some other day, you guys can have some fun together. We'll all be one family from now on."

As they were chatting, they suddenly saw a maid coming from the front hall. As soon as she entered Rongqing Hall, she reported, "Madam, someone from the palace has come. They said they are here to convey the emperor's wishes and congratulate Master Yuan on his engagement."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.

In the palace?

Congratulations to Shen Yuan on his engagement?
After a moment of silence, Jia's mother stood up suddenly, suppressed her doubts, and said to Shen Yuan: "The emperor has issued an order, so we can't delay. I will go with Yuan'er."

Shen Yuan felt strange. He had mentioned the proposal of marriage in the imperial study yesterday, and the emperor sent the imperial edict to Rongguo Mansion today. Was he openly supporting him?
This stage is a bit too big. To outsiders, how great a blessing would this be?
Putting aside his thoughts, he followed Lady Jia and several other officials of the Jia family out of Rongqing Hall and headed for the outer room.

In the front hall, Eunuch Zhang, who came to deliver the imperial edict, saw Lady Jia and others coming and called out "Old Madam".

Grandmother Jia said solemnly, "Please pass on the order, eunuch. Someone prepare the incense table!"

Eunuch Zhang waved his hand and said, "There is no need for an incense table. What I brought is the emperor's oral order."

As he spoke, he glanced around, looked at the only man present, and asked in a gentle voice, "Is this Mr. Shen the champion?"

Shen Yuan was not arrogant, and bowed his hands and said, "Shen Yuan listens to the imperial edict."

Eunuch Zhang nodded, pulled out his duck voice, and said loudly: "The emperor's order!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Mu and others knelt on the ground one after another. Shen Yuan was naturally no exception. Although he was still a little uncomfortable, it was unavoidable at this time.

"Shen Huaizhong is a man of both talent and virtue, extremely brave and outstanding. Today, he and Baochai, daughter of the Xue family, have signed a Qin-Jin alliance. I congratulate them on behalf of heaven and wish them a harmonious and everlasting marriage!"

After delivering the oral instructions, Eunuch Zhang smiled and said to Shen Yuan: "Mr. Shen, thank you."

Shen Yuan leaned forward and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Long live Your Majesty!"

Afterwards, at the signal of Eunuch Zhang, Shen Yuan and Lady Jia and the other imperial eunuchs slowly stood up.

"This is what His Majesty ordered me to bring to Shen Zhuangyuan." Eunuch Zhang handed the brocade box to Shen Yuan and said, "My mission has been completed. It's time to return to the palace to report."

After seeing off Eunuch Zhang, Jia Mu and others still felt a little dazed.

Aunt Xue couldn't suppress her excitement. It seemed that she had seriously underestimated the status of her son-in-law before.

The emperor, despite his busy schedule, issued an edict just to congratulate Yuan'er on his engagement!

What a holy favor this is.
