Ouyang Rui brought up the matter of propriety.
In the grand households, there was an unwritten rule that regardless of who proposed to whom, a betrothal gift was brought, and the Family Head went to speak with the other Family Head.
Although Ouyang Rui was Ouyang Bingbing's biological father, he couldn't make the final decision on her marriage.
Only when the Family Head of the Ouyang Family, the old master Ouyang Yi, said it was so, would it count.
"Uncle Rui, I certainly understand the proprieties of proposing marriage. However, you are after all Bingbing's biological father. Whether she can marry me or not, that's up to you! As for your family's old master, that's just a formality. As long as Uncle Rui you agree, at your family's old master's eightieth birthday, I will bring the birthday congratulations and the betrothal gifts to propose to the Ouyang Family. Let's have double happiness coming through the door!"
Ji Jinpeng's words struck a chord in Ouyang Rui's heart.
