C578 Urge Marriage
"Jiangyuan, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Aunt Fan." Seeing her look at Kang Ying meaningfully, Shi Jiangyuan quickly introduced her, "This is my girlfriend, Kang Ying."
"Oh, Jiangyuan has a girlfriend. That's great!" Aiya, a while ago I was still listening to your mother talking about how you didn't even find a girlfriend and made her so anxious. I even advised her that it would be fine once fate arrives, but to think that she would have a girlfriend right now. It's really great!
Fan Ju Xia looked pleasantly surprised. It was obvious that she was genuinely happy for Shi Jiangyuan.
After she was introduced by Shi Jiangyuan, she quickly looked Kang Ying up and down carefully. Seeing that the girl had a dignified, pretty, and tall figure that matched Shi Jiangyuan's, she couldn't help but feel envious as she said:
"This girl is so pretty. Sigh, my Shihong will have to look for her according to Jiangyuan's standards. It's definitely not wrong to look for her with you."
This made Shi Jiangyuan and Kang Ying both laugh.
Fan Ju Xia teased Kang Ying, "Do you have a sister? "If you have it, then introduce Shihong."
Kang Ying smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, I'm the only daughter in my family."
"What a pity." Fan Ju Xia looked as if she felt sorry for him. Then, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Shihong, come out quickly! Jiangyuan and his girlfriend are here!"
Zhao Shihong came out of the house, dragging his cotton wool. Seeing Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan, Zhao Shihong innocently smiled and said:
"I had a reunion dinner last night and had a few drinks with my dad. I slept late in the morning, so I'm sorry, you guys sit down first. I'll go wash my face and then I'll come out."
Shi Jiangyuan had been friends with him for many years, so of course he wouldn't care about these small details.
Shi Jiangyuan and Kang Ying waited in the living room in peace.
Fan Ju Xia was dressed like an ordinary middle-aged woman, but her words had a different culture to them.
When Kang Ying asked, she realized that Fan Ju Xia was a professor of Peking University's History Department. She couldn't help but feel a sense of veneration.
Seeing that Mama Zhao was extremely plain and simple, who would have thought that she was actually a professor from one of the most famous institutions in the country?
However, Zhao Shihong was also very unruly. It was really the opposite of what he wanted.
As Kang Ying thought of this, Fan Ju Xia mocked herself,
"Everyone thinks that the History department's professor must be very old-fashioned and strict. After you look at my son, I really can't think of what his mother does."
Fan Ju Xia was good at self-deprecating. Shi Jiangyuan said happily, "Auntie, it's alright. Shihong is already old enough to know how to make plans for himself."
"That's true. Three hundred and sixty lines for a top scholar. I don't expect him to be successful in the academic field. It's fine as long as he can support himself."
Recently, he has improved very quickly. He already knows how to manage and earn money. It is you who brought him. We are relieved when we follow you. Fortunately, I grew up with you. I was brought by you and didn't take the wrong path. "
Fan Ju Xia said it with a smile, but Shi Jiangyuan felt a little embarrassed, as if it was all his credit for Zhao Shihong to look like this.
"Shihong has his own ideas, it wasn't all my credit."
Fan Ju Xia then asked Kang Ying about her work and so on.
This was also the first time the elders would ask a question when they see a girlfriend of a junior, so Kang Ying wasn't impatient. She explained every single thing, saying that she was a freelancer and that she wasn't doing business in the capital, but rather being a Lu County user in a small county outside the country.
Cui Huixian was a Lu County person herself, and Fan Ju Xia, as her good friend, naturally knew this. Thus, when they heard that Kang Ying was a Lu County person, there wasn't much surprise on her face.
Because she knew that Shi Jiangyuan often returned to Lu County, and Cui Huixian had a good relationship with her family, so it wasn't strange for Shi Jiangyuan to find a girlfriend in Lu County.
Besides, as long as they were urging Huixian and Shi Tao to be happy, what was the discussion going on outside?
Besides, as a professor of history at Peking University, Fan Ju Xia's horizons were not so narrow.
Listening to Kang Ying's words and her temperament, she felt that she was on par with all the other girls in the capital. She even had an aura that surpassed her peers. No wonder Shi Jiangyuan had taken a liking to her.
If she could have Daughter-In-Law like this, she would be very satisfied. Why would she care about an account and a job?
Of course, this was also the way of thinking in those who had the ability to do so. It was precisely because they lacked the ability that they would place the household registration and work as the first and even decisive factor in their marriage.
It has to be said that economic foundations determine superstructure. These words were an absolute truth. Only with sufficient strength would one be able to ignore the secular world and pursue the spiritual and soul fusion.
Only with sufficient strength could one have such a sense of responsibility. Otherwise, one would have to face the problem of one's profession and how much one's income would be.
Kang Ying didn't feel any form of discrimination when she was interacting with these aristocratic families. In fact, no one even took the initiative to ask whether she was a Beijing hukou or not.
This caused Kang Ying to feel a sense of tolerance that came from a formidable strength.
Perhaps only the narrow-minded, shallow, history in the process of a few steps in the aristocratic families, will be superficial to want to use marriage to strengthen themselves.
Only by passing through rocks and boulders could one go further in the round formation. Only those aristocratic families with deep roots would be able to comprehend this principle.
When both sides had reached a marriage alliance, they were no longer relatives, but rivals. Whoever was stronger would obtain the most benefits from this marriage alliance, and could even take over the other party.
On the contrary, it was this simple love that came from the depths of the soul that became the cornerstone of family stability.
Although the theory was not very profound, not many people could truly understand it.
It was only during her contact with them that Kang Ying was able to further define her love with Shi Jiangyuan.
Only now did she realize that she had been fidgety before accepting Shi Jiangyuan's confession, thinking too much and worrying too much about those matters. He was very clear on what Shi Jiangyuan wanted.
Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan had two cups of tea, and Zhao Shihong had already gathered his energy. He was wearing a new royal blue suit, a red tie, shiny pointed black shoes, a head full of wax, neatly combed hair, and a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Shi Jiangyuan couldn't help but laugh and said: "You're pretty handsome when you're tidying up, why don't you wear it properly?"
Zhao Shihong moved his waist awkwardly and said, "Look at this suit, it really made me hold back. Seriously, my mom insisted that I wear this suit. Maybe any girl will fall for me during New Year's."
Everyone laughed.
Fan Ju Xia said resentfully, "Look, Jiangyuan is already looking for a girlfriend. When are you going to bring one back for me?"
