Chapter 32 I want to make progress so much!

After a few brief greetings, Mrs. Chen left.

She was waiting for Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Chen didn't know what was wrong with her today, everything went wrong.

He wanted to test the Sheng family, but his plan was ruined by his own daughter.

Now Mrs. Wu hasn't arrived yet.

Just when I was feeling depressed, I saw Mrs. Wu rushing over.

"Madam, I'm sorry, those two useless people at home caused some trouble early in the morning, and I had to deal with them, so I'm late."

Mrs. Wu apologized first, then asked, "Where is the daughter of the Sheng family? Is she here?"

Mrs. Chen nodded to show her understanding.

After all, with a eldest son who was a Jinshi in the family, his only two legitimate sons were not ambitious, restless and noisy, which gave everyone a headache.

Not to mention that Mrs. Wu was able to arrive in time for the banquet.

Mrs. Chen nodded her head towards Hualan and Yang Ruijin who were not far away.

"Here we are. Right there."

Mrs. Wu looked in the direction of the sight and saw Yang Ruijin chatting with a young girl of extraordinary temperament, and he seemed very enthusiastic.

Mrs. Wu often attended banquets, so she naturally knew Yang Rujin's appearance.

"Is that the daughter of the Sheng family? She looks good, like a girl from a noble family." Madam Wu nodded involuntarily. This innate temperament obviously could not be faked.

"I came late. Have you found out anything before?" asked Mrs. Wu.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"I can see nothing."

"How is that possible? Didn't you say earlier that you would leave the Sheng family alone and see how they perform before making any decisions? Why, are things not going smoothly?"

Madam Chen said unhappily, "My nephew loves Hualan so much that he contacted my Rujin at some point. Look, she is staying by Hualan's side all the time."

After the meal started.

Wang Ruofu sat together with the ladies from various families.

Hualan and others sat on the other side with Yang Ruijin.

All the girls here have never been exposed, and they are talking to people they know in private.

Because some ladies brought several daughters with them, the table here is not the long table they had with the ladies, but a high table similar to a buffet.

The guests sat down by themselves and the accompanying women took the food on trays.

Yang Ruijin still remembered Yang Wenyuan's instructions. She pulled Hualan to a desk with an excellent view and began to introduce her to the families present.

"The one sitting at the head over there is my mother."

Hualan nodded, future aunt.

"The person who was talking to her was Madam Wu from the Liang family of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion."

Hua Lan nodded. It turned out that she was the future matchmaker. No wonder she looked so happy.

"..."

Yang Rujin introduced someone to Hualan.

Rulan and Minglan, one a carefree person and the other a foodie, were sitting at the same table, chomping down on the food handed to them by the maid behind them.

When their mouths were full of food, they looked at each other, with expressions of satisfaction and happiness on their faces.

Delicious! Molan was very reserved, eating the food in front of her in small bites, with a reserved and polite expression, but from time to time she glanced around, revealing her eagerness to eat.

Wouldn't it be a waste if we don't make some close friends with nobles when we have such a good opportunity today?
After Yang Ruijin finished the introduction and took a breath, the daughters from other families who had been waiting for a long time came over and started chatting with the four daughters of the Sheng family.

They were curious.

What kind of family background could allow Yang Rujin, the apple of the Yang family's eye, to accompany him like this?

Could it be the new noble who is about to rise in the court?

Rulan and Minglan still looked hungry.

Molan's eyes lit up and she started talking to the girls who came over.

But when the girls asked about the situation of the Sheng family in a roundabout way, Molan gently brushed it off, smiled and said, "My father works in the Shangshu Province," and immediately changed the subject.

However, there were no men present today, so the hair-lifting technique that Molan learned from her mother Lin Qinshuang was of no use, which made her feel a little regretful.

Hualan spoke to others in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and was very graceful and elegant, with the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

So when asked about Sheng Hong's identity, Hua Lan smiled and said frankly: "My father is now in the Shangshu Province, holding the position of Chengzhilang."

The fifth-rank official position expresses the momentum of the second-rank official position.

So after Hua Lan finished speaking, none of the girls present showed any contempt on their faces. Instead, they were all thinking in their hearts that the family of the Sheng family's daughter must have a high-ranking official in a purple robe like Yang Yuqing in the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

When he got home, he told his mother that if there were any officials with the surname Sheng, they should quickly win over and curry favor with them so as to get on the bandwagon of this "upstart".

The ladies' table.

Madam Chen and Madam Wu sat at the top and talked, glancing at Hualan from time to time. Seeing that Hualan was surrounded by everyone and remained calm and behaved properly, they couldn't help but nod secretly in their hearts, feeling very satisfied.

Wang Ruofu sat at the lower table, talking to the lady next to her.

Just like the daughter of the Sheng family was popular among the younger generation, the sudden appearance of Wang Ruofu, a stranger, also attracted the attention of the ladies present.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Ruofu sat down under the guidance of the maid, she was "interrogated" by the lady on her left.

"Please forgive me, sister. Although I don't know your face, I think you have an extraordinary temperament. I wonder which noble family you come from?"

Wang Ruofu nodded with some pride and dignity, and waved her hand as if she didn't care.

"Our Wang family has fallen into decline since our father entered the Imperial Ancestral Temple. How can we still be called a noble family? Sister, please stop joking."

The man showed surprise on his face and felt that Wang Ruofu in front of him might be extraordinary.

Her father was worthy of being enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, so he must have had an extraordinary vision. I'm afraid the husband who was promised to her back then has already held a high position with a high salary.

"Sister, please forgive me. Maybe I haven't slept well these days. You look unfamiliar to me. I wonder which family is so lucky to marry someone like you?"

Seeing Wang Ruofu's hesitation, the man smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else. I just thought that since we are all related to the Yang family, we should inform each other so that we can contact each other if there is anything in the future."

Then he continued, "My master is currently working in the Shangshu Province. He just got promoted to a fourth-rank position last year. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to move up in the future."

"Where's my sister?"

Wang Ruofu looked embarrassed, and her self-conceited expression was instantly ruined.

Unexpectedly, this lady’s master also works in the Ministry of Shangshu, and he is probably her husband’s superior.

He whispered back, "What a coincidence, my master also works in the Ministry of Shangshu."

The man looked pleased.

"So our master is actually a colleague! From now on, I will get closer to you."

It seems like he wants to get closer to Wang Ruofu, so that he can help speak for him and support his family in the future.

I want to improve so much!
