Chapter 37 Polo Club

The class continued, but the way everyone looked at Yang Wenyuan changed dramatically.

All eyes turned into ones of reverence.

This look has nothing to do with status, but is similar to the look that boarding students would give to day students who help bring breakfast when they were in school.

Here he comes, he comes with my breakfast!
There is light in your eyes!

After the class, Master Zhuang got up and left, and everyone in the room also left one after another.

Seeing Hualan was about to leave, Yang Wenyuan hurried forward to stop her and whispered:
"Hualan, don't leave yet. I have something to tell you."

Hua Lan paused and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yang Wenyuan looked around and continued, "The weather is getting colder now, so my uncle has to wait until it's warmer before he can go back home to inform the elders in the family, so your marriage to me..."

Before he could finish his words, Hua Lan interrupted him.

"Marriage, what marriage? I haven't even met the matchmaker yet, so why are you talking to me about engagement? How can this be justified?"

Hualan still felt a little resentful when she talked about this.

I thought that after returning from Madam Chen's house that day, I would receive a matchmaking invitation from Madam Wu a few days later.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, Mrs. Wu did not come to the house, which made her happy for nothing, and she felt a little empty inside.

Fortunately, Mrs. Sheng saw her disappointment and explained the whole thing to her, which helped her understand the cause and effect.

Seeing Hua Lan showing her little girl's temper, Yang Wenyuan was not annoyed. He smiled and said, "After all, it is a big event like marriage. We still have to inform the elders in our hometown. It's also my fault. I was busy with other things during this period, so I forgot to inform you."

"other things?"

Hualan snorted in annoyance, and a small emotion inexplicably rose in her heart. She was a little angry that Yang Wenyuan actually forgot such an important thing and was busy with other things.

For some reason, Hualan felt that she was becoming less and less like her original self.

It's okay in front of others.

But in front of Yang Wenyuan, she always couldn't help but get angry. Sometimes she herself found it inexplicable, but it just happened naturally. Fortunately, as long as Yang Wenyuan showed a little weakness or responded a few times, the anger would disappear and instead a strong sweetness would arise.

Seeing Hua Lan's question, Yang Wenyuan did not give a direct answer. Instead, he said mysteriously, "Keep it a secret for now. I'll tell you when the time comes. Anyway, it's an interesting thing, very suitable for those of you who stay at home all year round."

Hua Landai frowned slightly, glared at Yang Wenyuan with her beautiful eyes, and said with her cherry lips slightly parted: "Mystifying!"

……

Time flies and the weather is getting colder.

This day was the tenth day that Zhuang Xuejiu had been teaching.

Knowing that there would be no classes at the private school tomorrow, Yang Wenyuan went to find Wang Ruofu. It happened that Sheng Hong was also on vacation at home.

"Uncle, the weather is getting colder and colder. It might snow soon. So Madam Wu of the Earl of Yongchang sent out an invitation yesterday to invite the families of the nobles to attend the last polo match of the year. It will be held by the Jinming Lake outside Xinzheng Gate. It will be a lively scene.

It just so happens that the school is closed tomorrow, so I thought of inviting the lady to bring Changbai and the others to the polo club tomorrow to have some fun. "

Hearing this, Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu looked at each other in surprise. Then Wang Ruofu said politely to Yang Wenyuan with a smile on her face: "How can this be embarrassing? Madam Wu didn't invite my family. If I go, wouldn't it be embarrassing..."

Yang Wenyuan smiled and explained, "Aunt, you are worrying too much. Anyone can attend Madam Wu's polo match, and you can get in without a name card. But there are only a limited number of tents inside, and people without name cards can only sit outside the tents. So they don't want to go, which makes it seem that only people with name cards are allowed in."

“So there are such twists and turns.”

Sheng Hong nodded. He wanted his child to go out and see the world and make friends with other children of nobles of the same age. But he was afraid that if the whole family were to squeeze into the Yang family's tent, it would seem like they were living under someone else's roof. So he sat upright in his chair, hesitating and saying nothing.

I don’t know whether I should accept Yang Wenyuan’s invitation.

Wang Ruofu was much more straightforward and directly expressed her concerns. "Wenyuan, can I call you this for now?"

Yang Wenyuan had no objection and nodded in agreement. Sheng Hong opened his mouth, wanting to stop him, but thinking that this was not in front of outsiders and it would not be considered impolite, he simply closed his mouth again, pretending that he didn't hear anything.

"You invited our whole family over, so we're naturally happy, but we're thinking that it might be a bit crowded..."

Yang Wenyuan understood what Wang Ruofu meant and quickly explained, "Auntie, you misunderstood! The Sheng family will have a separate tent."

Wang Ruofu and Sheng Hong looked at each other and said hesitantly, "Isn't it that only famous people have separate tents? If you insist on adding it for my family, then there is no need."

"it's not true."

In order to finish his words smoothly, Yang Wenyuan spoke faster and said, "My family and my aunt's family have received invitations, but we are few in number, so we usually stay in the tent of the Marquis' Mansion. The other tent is empty, so I thought that instead of leaving it there idle, it would be better to let Changbai, Changfeng and the others go there to have fun and make some new friends."

The long cypress or long maple and so on were naturally excuses. Yang Wenyuan had other intentions.

Only then did Sheng Hong nod and agree.

"In that case, I'll bother Wenyuan."

Shou'an Hall.

Dinner.

Since arriving in Bian Jing, Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu have been visiting Shou'an Hall more frequently.

In previous years, unless there was something going on, I wouldn’t come here once a month.

But now, he would come to Shou'an Hall to pay his respects every few days, and every time he would stay for dinner and chat for a while before leaving.

It’s also thanks to Mrs. Sheng.

Because they have to come to Shou'an Hall frequently to have meals and chat, Sheng Hong now goes to Linqi Pavilion less often, and the relationship between him and Wang Ruofu has also become much warmer.

It would be a bit of an exaggeration to describe Sheng Hong's attitude as rude at first and respectful later. After all, he could only be considered negligent before, not unfilial, but the meaning was pretty much the same.

Old Madam Sheng was a very important person. She could see through Sheng Hong's thoughts at a glance, but she didn't expose him, and there was no need to push Sheng Hong away.

People can live happily only if they are a little confused.

I simply let Sheng Hong do what he wanted and enjoyed the couple's flattery.

Finished dinner.

Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu stayed to talk as usual, while Hualan and Minglan sat next to Old Lady Sheng.

"Mother, Wenyuan came to me this afternoon and said he wanted to invite our child to attend Madam Wu's polo match. I couldn't refuse, so I had to accept it."

After changing his name in the afternoon, Wang Ruofu was called "Wenyuan". Calling him "Wenyuan" became more and more intimate and smooth, as if Yang Wenyuan had become her son-in-law.

Old Mrs. Sheng nodded.

"Wenyuan is a kind-hearted child. He always comes to my house for anything."

When Wang Ruofu heard Old Lady Sheng praising her "son-in-law", she was happier than when she was praised herself. She was beaming with joy and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Wenyuan is a really great kid."

However, Mrs. Sheng hesitated for a moment.

"However, I heard from my old friends who have been in Bianjing for many years that the polo club outside Jinming Lake requires a name card."
