Chapter 35: The Old Mom Is Still the Best
Old Mrs. Sheng looked surprised.

"Mrs. Chen actually gave this thing to Hua'er?"

Why is it so lonely, and why does it jump away around the wrist?

Jade bracelets have always been a symbol of love between men and women, not to mention that this jade bracelet was obtained by Yang Wenyuan's mother for him when he was a child. Later, it was worn by the former wife of Pingyang Marquis and Madam Chen, making it a "family heirloom".

This is not an ordinary jade bracelet, it is clearly a token of love given by Madam Chen to Yang Wenyuan!

Sheng Hong kept nodding his head, his face full of joy.

"It seems that this marriage has been finalized!"

Rulan didn't have any extra thoughts. She was hungry and just focused on the pastries in her hand.

Adults should talk about adult things. What does it have to do with a kid like me!
Minglan understood what she heard, and rolled her big round eyes around. She silently put down the cake in her hand and whispered to Rulan beside her: "Fifth sister, the eldest sister's marriage is settled. She is going to marry the young marquis!"

Rulan frowned, looked at Minglan with a confused expression, and said, "Sister and the young marquis exchanged letters before. Wasn't this matter already decided? Sixth sister, you are too uninformed!"

Rulan only thought that if the man and woman fell in love with each other, the two families could become relatives, but she did not consider the impact of other factors.

Minglan remained silent and just handed over a piece of cake silently.

"Fifth sister is right!"

"Ok!"

Rulan nodded repeatedly and took the pastries handed to her by Minglan with a happy face. She was obviously very happy with Minglan's "flattering words".

"Mrs. Chen must have informed Commander Yang about the banquet she was hosting at home. I don't think he would object."

Old Madam Sheng nodded slightly, "Since the elders of the Yang family have all agreed, then this marriage is settled, and my family should also consider the next agenda."

Sheng Hong nodded in agreement.

"The Yang family is a marquisate. Although Yang Wenyuan's parents are not around, we still have Madam Chen to help manage the affairs. The three matchmakers and six betrothals must be there."

"But there has to be a matchmaker."

"Madam Wu, Madam Wu from the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion!"

Hua Lan said, "I heard that she is a famous matchmaker in Bianjing City and she is also here today."

Wang Ruofu:? ?
I was at the party too, how come I didn't know about it?

Did something happen in between that I don't know about?
"Hua'er, do you know Madam Wu?"

Hua Lan hesitated for a moment and replied, "Mother, it was my sister Rujin who told me."

"Oh!"

Wang Ruofu suddenly understood and explained to everyone on Hualan's behalf, "That's Madam Chen's daughter, Yang Rujin, who is about the same age as Rulan and Ming. She's innocent and cute, and likes Hualan very much. She stayed by her side all day."

Old Madam Sheng looked calm and just glanced at Hualan indifferently, which made Hualan feel inexplicably uneasy.

"In this case, I think Madam Chen has already made some considerations in her mind. We just have to wait."

Night, Wei Rui Xuan.

Wang Ruofu sat in front of the dressing mirror, letting Mother Liu help her take off her jewelry while she talked to Sheng Hong who was sitting on the bed.

"Mr. Zhuang wrote to say that he will arrive in Bianjing soon. I was thinking whether I should be polite and have my whole family go to the dock to greet him in person to show respect."

Hearing this, Sheng Hong shook his head, put his cold feet into the hot water bucket in front of him, uttered a comfortable hum, and blew out a long breath of mist from his mouth, saying, "There's no need to make such a fuss. Zhuang Xuejiu is not a person who likes pomp and circumstance, otherwise he wouldn't come to teach in my Sheng family. Don't make such a fuss, it may backfire in the end.

You and I can go, and at most we can bring Changbai with us. When the time comes, we just need to take him to Shou'an Hall for a home-cooked meal, and everything will be fine."

Wang Ruofu thought about it and nodded, saying, "Okay, then let's do as you say. That day, you, Changbai and I will go together, but we still need to decorate the house, otherwise it will seem that we don't take it seriously enough."...

Pingyang Houfu.

Before dawn, Yang Wenyuan got up and washed with the help of his nanny.

Although she is called an old maid, she is actually only a woman in her thirties.

In modern times, this is still an age where one still has charm, but in ancient times, this was considered half an old man.

There is no doubt that this was a deliberate arrangement by Yang Wenyuan's mother.

Maids of this age are the most obedient and attentive in serving others, and they do not have the evil thoughts of being young and beautiful, so Yang Wenyuan's yard is full of such maids.

After Yang Wenyuan traveled through time, he wanted to replace his maids with a group of fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged ones. However, after asking Changqing, he found out that these older maids were specially selected by Yang Wenyuan's mother. Most of them were servants in the mansion, and many of them were even the mothers of the personal guards.

Rather than serving Yang Wenyuan, it was more like winning people's hearts.

After all, Yang Wenyuan lived alone and did not have many chores to deal with, so he did not need so many maids.

Therefore, the maids in this yard basically don't have to do anything else but serve Yang Wenyuan. It is a leisurely and high-paying position.

If these old maids were suddenly asked to leave the yard, it would probably go against Yang Wenyuan's mother's ideas.

Although it would not cause the guards to lose their morale, it would also make Yang Wenyuan's mother's hard work go to waste.

After careful consideration, Yang Wenyuan gave up this tempting decision.

It's so easy to use, why change people?

Yang Wenyuan, your thoughts have become corrupt!

But there is one thing I know the reason for.

No wonder Yang Yuqing suspected that Yang Wenyuan liked the old woman before.

So this is the root cause!
After much anticipation, Zhuang Xuejiu finally arrived in Beijing.

Today is the day when classes at Sheng Family Academy begin.

According to Mr. Zhuang's request, he sat in the court at 2:30 a.m. (5:30 a.m.) and the court started at 6:00 a.m., which was why Yang Wenyuan got up early today.

Fortunately, Yang Wenyuan had made it a habit to get up early and practice martial arts. He was full of energy and did not feel tired. Instead, he looked full of energy.

By the time Yang Wenyuan was ready, Changqing had already prepared the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone needed for studying and put them in his bag and hung it on his body.

Now that the weather is getting colder, it is a good time to pretend... to use a fan. Yang Wenyuan took his fan and walked out of the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

The coachman was already waiting, and ten personal guards were surrounding and guarding the carriage.

After all, we are in Bianjing, the best place in the country, so we should keep a low profile.

As the carriage was moving on the road, Yang Wenyuan suddenly remembered something and said to the outside:

"It's still early, let's go to Fanlou."

Then he turned to look at Chang Qing who was yawning, "When we get to Fanlou, go down first, take two guards with you, and eat your fill first. After about an hour and a half, buy enough mutton soup buns and send them to the Sheng family."

Although Yang Wenyuan had already eaten breakfast, he was still hungry after a while, and his metabolism was fast after practicing martial arts.

Even if I brought a lunch box with snacks, how could the cold pastries be as refreshing as the mutton soup steamed buns at Fanlou?

In such a cold day, who can resist a bowl of steaming hot mutton soup with steamed buns?
