Chapter 357: Your Second Daughter Has Really Matched with That Young Man from the City

Now no one could sit still: "Let's go follow and take a look."

After all, the carriage ran fast, and since the road behind the carriage was all dust, they fell quite a bit behind.

From far away they saw people get off the carriage, and they even took quite a few things off the carriage; it looked anything but ordinary.

Now it was confirmed; it must be here to propose marriage.

In a short while, the news spread throughout the village.

The intelligence personnel originally under the big tree at the village entrance also moved their position to the slope below Liu Chuxue's house: "Sitting here we can't hear anything anyway; how about we go visit Shan Liang's house?"

"Right, that's a good idea."

Originally, Fu's father and mother couldn't make decisions for their youngest son; today they came only to accompany their son through the motions.

And Liu's father and mother were very satisfied with this son-in-law, so without Kong Yizhang, the nominal matchmaker, needing to say much, the matter was settled quickly.

They heard Fu's mother say: "Since the two children have taken a liking to each other, we certainly support it."

Liu's mother was somewhat nervous, but Liu Chuxue had already advised her a few days ago, so she handled it quite easily: "My Chuxue's birthday is the eighth day of the third month; she will only turn eighteen after the New Year. Did Yan Cheng tell you about this?"

Fu's mother smiled and replied: "He did. So if you have no objections, let's first fix the engagement, and once Chuxue turns eighteen, we'll set the wedding date."

Liu's mother turned to look at Liu's father, seeking his opinion.

And Liu's father looked at Chuxue: "Chuxue, what do you think?"

Chuxue glanced at Fu Yan Cheng; she saw his hand was tightly clenched. She didn't expect this fellow to have moments of nervousness too.

She smiled gently: "If Yan Cheng has no objections, then let's just follow what you elders have discussed."

Hearing these words, Fu Yan Cheng stood up directly: "I have no objections."

His voice was so loud that he himself was startled afterward, let alone everyone in the room.

Fu's father couldn't hold back and laughed outright: "So you have your day too. Fine, since the two children have no objections, this matter is settled."

Liu's father looked at Chuxue: "Go get some paper and a brush."

Chuxue, though not understanding what her father intended to do, still went inside the room and brought the paper and brush.

They heard Liu's father say: "Yan Cheng, write down your birth date."

Now everyone understood.

Fu Yan Cheng took the brush and with a few swift strokes wrote it down.

Liu's father asked Chuxue to write hers as well.

It wasn't that he didn't want to write; it was simply that his handwriting was too ugly, and he feared being laughed at by his future in-laws.

After Chuxue finished writing, Liu's father put the paper away.

Afterwards, Chuxue went to the kitchen to cook, while Liu's father and mother showed them around.

But before long, Fu Yan Cheng broke away from their group and entered the kitchen: "Xue'er, let me help you."

"Aren't you accompanying your uncle and aunt for a stroll?"

He naturally understood the meaning behind her words: "With Kong Yizhang here, there's no problem; just rest assured."

Chunxiao, who had originally been assigned to tend the fire, stood up directly: "Second Sister, I have something to do and need to step out; let Fourth Brother Fu tend the fire for you."

Having said that, she ran out.

Fu Yan Cheng's eyes were full of smiles: "It feels as though Chunxiao has grown up."

The corners of Chuxue's lips curved slightly: "When one grows up, naturally one improves."

Even Fu Yan Cheng could hear the perfunctory tone in those words, but he didn't press further; after their previous interactions, he knew Chuxue's character too well.

As the two were talking, they heard a commotion outside: "Lamei, is it true your second daughter has really matched with that young man from the city?"

Liu's mother was in a good mood today, and her words carried a touch of pride and triumph: "Of course."
