The so-called "engagement notice" is actually the first step in a Great Song marriage. After inviting the matchmaker, the groom's side firstly has the matchmaker deliver the "engagement notice" to the bride's home. The "engagement notice" details the groom's family situation, and if the bride is interested, she will send a similar notice in return.
As Chen Mo is the Prince Zhen Nan of Great Song, he personally sent someone and even appointed the second master of the Wu Family to deliver the engagement notice, clearly showing his regard for Cao Xiyue.
Moreover, by sending the betrothal gifts in the first step, he further signified his determination to marry her.
Cao Benyuan's emotions were like a roller coaster. He quickly instructed his servants to welcome the team delivering the engagement notice and to make tea and inform Xiyue.
Cao Xiyue was sitting idly in her boudoir, it was almost noon, and she had yet to dress up. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Chen Mo.
