Chapter 4 Let me be fair
Sheng Minglan turned her head and saw clearly the person who was holding her. He was wearing a round-necked robe with black satin trim and a fur coat. He was the nobleman who came with the Yuan family.

"Why are you holding me? I want to play pot tossing!"

Sheng Minglan was just about to go on stage to restore face for the Sheng family.

The elder sister has always been kind to her, but she couldn't bear to see Pin Yan, the host, lose. She was grabbed by the collar of fate and her fair face turned red in anxiety. She waved her arms to try to break free.

Yang Wenyuan searched the crowd for a long time before finding Sheng Minglan. Naturally, he couldn't let her go up and ruin his plan.

After thinking for a while, he asked Chang Qing, who was standing beside him, to take a few larger pieces of silver, tossed them in his hands, and asked Sheng Minglan:

"Kid, is your sister pretty?"

Although Sheng Minglan didn't want to answer, she thought of her own young lady and the lack of charcoal in the room, so she had to calm down. After thinking for a while, she answered crisply, "Beautiful."

Yang Wenyuan laughed immediately.

"I didn't even tell you which one I was asking about, and you said beautiful."

"Kid, you don't feel guilty about taking this money, do you?"

Sheng Minglan immediately gave Yang Wenyuan a cute eye roll, and said with a tense face:

"I don't know which one you are asking about, but I know the answer because my sisters are all beautiful."

"Give me money!" Sheng Minglan stretched out her fair little hand.

"Slippery!"

As expected of the clever and smart little Minglan in the original drama, Yang Wenyuan laughed out loud and put the silver in his hand into Sheng Minglan's little hand.

"Don't go to the pot-tossing game. Go back."

"Changqing, escort this child back."

"Yes."

At the pot-tossing game, Gu Tingye was the only one left there.

Since Sheng Changfeng suddenly ran away and Sheng Changbai hadn't come to find him yet, the scene was very awkward.

Yuan Wenchun was also watching not far away at this moment, with a smile on his face, secretly proud of his plan to divert trouble away.

Once the news reaches Bian Jing, Yuan Wenshao will surely be severely humiliated!
At this time, Yang Wenyuan walked out of the crowd.

"Now that the situation is at a stalemate, why don't you let me say something fair?"

"Young Marquis?"

Looking at Yang Wenyuan who stood up, Sheng Hong said uncertainly.

As he said this, he cast an inquiring look at Yuan Wenchun who was watching the fun nearby.

Seeing Yang Wenyuan leave the stage, Yuan Wenchun thought that he was going to make the situation even more embarrassing, so he also walked off the stage and said:

"Yes, this is the young marquis of Pingyang Marquis Mansion, Yang Wenyuan."

There was an uproar among the people present.

This is actually the young marquis of Pingyang Marquis Mansion?

The news of the old Marquis of Pingyang's death in battle had already spread throughout the Great Zhou.

At the same time, there was also an imperial decree that anyone could inherit the title as long as they were crowned, which was talked about by everyone.

At this time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Yang Wenyuan in the field was a marquis, and he was a marquis who had not yet been crowned.

The eyes of the officials and their wives standing nearby all lit up!
The young marquis was within reach.

I heard that she is still unmarried. If I could send my daughter to the young marquis' bed...

There is no need to ask for the main wife, even if she is a concubine, it is a sure-win deal for everyone present!

There was an immediate response from the crowd.

"Yes, I believe in you, young marquis!"

"That's right. I've heard that the old Marquis of Pingyang is very observant and his words are his bond. The young Marquis must be such a person as well." "..."

Others didn't know Yang Wenyuan's reputation, but Sheng Hong had heard of him because of his relationship with the Wang family. It was Yuan Wenchun who brought us to this critical moment. The young marquis definitely had no good intentions!
Hearing everyone agreeing on his behalf, Sheng Hong cursed inwardly.

It turns out that this is not your own business!

So generous, letting an outsider be the head of my family!
Thinking of the rumors circulating in the officialdom about the young master of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, and then looking at Gu Tingye on the field, Sheng Hong understood that Yuan Wenchun was bringing the "two heroes of Bianjing" into his own door!

Oh my God!
These two people were able to make the entire Bianjing a mess, and now they have entered my house...

Sheng Hong really wanted to refuse and not let Yang Wenyuan take the lead in the direction of things, but looking at the booing of the people around him and Yuan Wenchun's instigating eyes, he finally sighed.

"Then let the young marquis speak."

Yang Wenyuan nodded.

"Today's pot-tossing game is considered the winner of Bai Erlang, right or not?"

Sheng Hong wanted to retort, but since he didn't have anyone in his family who was skilled in pitching pots, he could only curl his lips and agree.

"Since we have won, the Engagement Goose will naturally belong to Bai Erlang."

Yang Wenyuan asked Changqing to take the red-painted goose cage and walked up to Gu Tingye, "Erlang, what do you want to do with this goose?"

"I am not the master of the house, so why would I need this betrothal goose? If you find it useful, you can take it."

Gu Tingye gradually came to his senses and realized that he and Yang Wenyuan might have been used by Yuan Wenchun. Although he didn't care much, when he saw that Yang Wenyuan seemed to be about to start a rebellion, he immediately understood the situation based on the tacit understanding they had when they wandered around Bianliang together.

"Okay, then I will take care of this goose."

Yang Wenyuan folded up the ivory fan he used for showing off and placed it on the big red table beside him. He walked forward, opened the red lacquered goose cage, and let a pair of geese in it spread their wings and fly to the south.

After finishing the task, Yang Wenyuan turned his gaze and picked up the ivory fan again, pointing it at the betrothal gift sent by the Yuan family.

"Changqing, hurry up and move the betrothal gifts to our ship."

Upon hearing this, Chang Qing did not hesitate at all. He waved his hand and asked half of the Marquis's personal guards who were disguised nearby to come over, while the remaining half continued to stand by and began to carry the betrothal gifts out.

Sheng Hong grabbed Chang Qing's sleeve and turned to look at Yang Wenyuan.

"Young Marquis, you can't do that! Besides, your ship would hardly be able to accommodate so many betrothal gifts!"

"It's okay! Bai Erlang has some family assets in Yangzhou, so he can still get a few boats together. If all else fails, don't we have the Yuan family's boats?"

"I guess Yuan Dalang can help me?"

Yuan Wenchun felt that things seemed to be a little out of his control...

What is my main quest?
Lose face to my second brother (crossed out)
He came to the Sheng family to propose marriage, and then took Sheng Hualan directly to Bian Jing to marry her to his second brother Yuan Wenshao.

What are my side quests?
Following the advice of my mother and my wife, I came here to be more domineering, so that people would understand the majesty of the nobles in Bianjing. By the way, I definitely wanted to embarrass my second brother.

Ideally, he should be able to show off his power in front of the Sheng family for a while, and then he could take his bride home.

But what is the situation now?
I saw Sheng Hong staring at me with murderous eyes.

Yuan Wenchun believed that there might be some flaws in his plan.

What's the problem?

Yuan Wenchun felt secretly resentful.

The rumors about Bian Jing were indeed true.

One devil plus another devil is equal to the collapse of heaven and earth.

I am here to intimidate the Sheng family and embarrass them, which is also to embarrass my second brother, not to cancel the engagement!
With what you, Yang Wenyuan, are doing, why do I feel like you are not here to make relatives, but to make enemies? !

But he was the one who invited this person... Yuan Wenchun was so upset at the moment that he couldn't say anything.

If the wedding plan turns into a cancellation of the engagement, the already declining Earl of Zhongqin’s Mansion will become an even bigger laughing stock!
