Zou Bai understood what Mo Shen meant. He didn’t want to see the engagement venue.
Even though he had decided to protect Jiang An for the rest of his life, he was not prepared to watch her get engaged to someone else, so he simply avoided it.
Zou Bai expressed his respect for his decision. Although he hadn’t come personally, the fact that he had sent over a gift that implied that Zou Bai and Jiang An were a perfect match was already a sign of etiquette.
The engagement ceremony and wedding were different, so there were not many complicated ceremonies. After all the guests arrived, the two families exchanged tokens and invited the engaged couple on stage.
Jiang An walked out in a dreamy dress. Some people even exclaimed. It was as if she was wearing seawater.
Zou Bai walked to the door to pick her up, and the two of them walked onto the stage hand in hand.
This engagement was arranged according to the etiquette of aristocratic families, so a marriage contract had to be signed.
Although this thing had no legal effect, the engagement procedure had been passed down for hundreds of years. Only by signing the marriage contract could the two families be considered to have completed the engagement.
In ancient China, the final step of the wedding would be to complete the marriage proposal and exchange of marriage certificates.
They had already done away with all these procedures in the modern world, but Zou Bai stubbornly wanted to give it all to Jiang An. He felt that with enough etiquette, outsiders would respect her more.
Zou Bai had gotten someone to prepare the marriage contract long ago. On the red golden paper were the birthdays of both parties and their parents’ names. Then, it was their blessings.
“In ancient times, signing a marriage contract was equivalent to reporting to the world: this couple will be husband and wife until the end of time. Today, I promise you that as long as I’m alive, I won’t stop loving you,” Zou Bai said as he looked at Jiang An.
When the guests saw the reports online, they were already certain that Jiang An and Zou Bai had gotten married out of love. However, when they heard Zou Bai say this with their own ears, they still felt that it was too dreamy.
Zou Bai, who had always been decisive and did not have a good expression, would actually confess to his lover in public and make such a lifetime promise.
Many families secretly decided to build a good relationship with the Jiang family in the future. From the looks of it, Zou Bai would definitely support his wife’s family. In the future, the Jiang family would definitely rise.
Moreover, the Jiang family could hold their ground. Not only did they have such an outstanding heir, but their three sons were all elites. Even if they left the family, they would live well.
The most important thing in a large family was whether the children were promising or not. Many families were in a terrible fix because of this matter. No matter how the children were taught, it was useless. After confirming that they could not help the family, they could only be raised useless. They could only spend money to have fun and do anything without harming the family’s interests.
Many people were so jealous of the Jiang family’s children that they wanted to vomit blood. They wished they could bring them back and treat them as their own children.
Jiang An didn’t expect Zou Bai to prepare the marriage contract. She had even forgotten about it.
In the face of her lover’s sincere confession, she said with tears in her eyes, “You’re the love of my life. This won’t ever change.”
Jiang Huai hurriedly handed them two pens and asked them to write their names on the marriage contract.
Zou Bai had been smiling during the engagement ceremony. He could finally stand by Jiang An’s side openly. He was not a lover or a boyfriend, but her husband, and the father other children.
The ceremony was completed at this point. The two of them picked up their wine glasses and said to everyone, “Thank you for coming to our engagement ceremony. Please have a good time today.”
After saying that, they downed the wine in one gulp and the dance music sounded. The guests also began to look for their dance partners.
At this moment, a servant from the Jiang family brought over a scroll and pulled it open. Someone walked over and realized that it was written with all the betrothal gifts.
This was a procedure that only ancient people had when they got married. They took out the list of betrothal gifts from the man’s side and showed it to everyone, showing how much they valued the woman.
Zhao Lan also walked over to take a look. Even with her background, she was shocked. The Zou family had actually given so many betrothal gifts. Some of them were even priceless.
Someone sighed. “I’m afraid no one can compare to such a betrothal gift in a hundred years.”
Those who were capable of giving this much to a woman were usually not willing to give so much. Those who were willing to give so much did not have so much wealth. Not everyone could compare to the Zou family’s foundation.
Zhao Lan looked at the list in a daze. Recently, she had gone crazy too much and it had affected her health. She had forgotten that she was attending Jiang An’s engagement ceremony and only felt that this was her wedding with Brother Mo Shen.
In her eyes, these were all betrothal gifts from Brother Mo Shen. They were about to become husband and wife.
“Brother Mo Shen.” Zhao Lan repeated the name. “I knew you loved me.”
She was almost glued to the list. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was abnormal.
