Chapter 78: Mental shock and gigolo
Mrs. Wu chatted with Old Madam Sheng for a while, then said goodbye and left the Sheng family.

Madam Chen and Yang Wenyuan were waiting for her to send the draft invitation from the Sheng family over so that they could use Hualan's birth date and horoscope to ask for divination.

When two families discuss marriage, both parties will take the other party's birth date and horoscope to ask for divination.

If it is auspicious and without any harm (the eight characters are compatible), you can tell the matchmaker and proceed to the next step.

As soon as Madam Wu left, Wang Ruoyu, who had been as obedient as a quail just now, immediately became full of energy.

"Sister, tell me quickly, which noble family is seeing Zhonghua Lan, or which official's son? How could they bother Madam Wu to come and act as a matchmaker?"

Wang Ruoyu had been anxious since she saw Wang Ruofu talking to Madam Wu, and was eager to know which family the man came from. But she didn't know whether there was some kind of tacit understanding between the two of them, or whether today's matchmaking was just a formality. In short, she didn't mention who the man was or what his family background was throughout the whole process.

If Wang Ruoyu hadn't known that no relatives would come to act as matchmakers, she would have suspected that the man was Madam Wu's son.

Wang Ruofu smiled pretending to be embarrassed.

"Sister, what are you talking about? There is no such thing as a high-ranking official or noble. It's just a marquis' mansion."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Ruofu immediately felt a sense of secret satisfaction from showing off in front of others.

For women of their age, the main goal in life is no longer for their husbands to get promoted, but to find a good marriage for their children.

Obviously, she is now more than one step ahead of her sister.

"Marquis' Mansion?" Wang Ruoyu shouted uncontrollably in a shrill voice.

I thought the marriage proposal from the Yuan family was rejected and it would be difficult for Hualan to marry into a good family, but now she's getting one step closer and is going to marry the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion?
Wang Ruoyu thought to himself that it was impossible.

Ever since the Sheng family moved to Bian Jing, the speed of version updates has been so fast that Wang Ruoyu is a little uncomfortable with it.

"Which one?" Wang Ruoyu asked with a trembling voice.

Please, please don't choose a top-notch mansion. It would be best if...

It would be best if the family was as wealthy as the Rong family, which can only last for two generations!
Wang Ruofu heard that Wang Ruoyu was in a bad mood, and thought that Wang Ruoyu was just for her own happiness, so she felt even more embarrassed. She took a handkerchief and gently patted Wang Ruoyu, saying shyly:
"Pingyang Marquis Mansion."

"what?"

When Wang Ruoyu heard Wang Ruofu suddenly say that the mansion was not in the plan, his mind went blank for a moment, but he reacted immediately.

"Ah!!!" A huge sound echoed throughout the house.

Wang Ruoyu was dumbfounded and almost speechless, stammering:

"Ping...Pingyang Marquis Mansion?"

"OK!"

Wang Ruofu also excitedly threw her handkerchief and said with a happy face: "Sister, you didn't expect it, the legitimate son of Pingyang Marquis Mansion, Yang Wenyuan!"

Wang Ruofu ignored Wang Ruoyu and clapped her hands while shaking her head and sighing, "Marquis of Pingyang Mansion! It's still a mansion with only one legitimate son, and the elders above only have one second wife who has moved out."

As she spoke, Wang Ruofu came close to Wang Ruoyu and congratulated her, "Sister, do you think this marriage is a piece of cake?"

Wang Ruoyu didn’t know how to answer. He just looked at Wang Ruofu with a complicated expression and remained silent.

"Yeah, you think so too, right?"

Wang Ruofu thought she could read the congratulations in Wang Ruoyu's eyes, and continued, "When the marriage is finalized, the whole city of Bianjing will know that Hua'er is going to marry into the Marquis's mansion and become the eldest lady. What a glorious thing that will be!"

Looking at Wang Ruofu who continued to act like "Versailles", Wang Ruoyu said with difficulty:

"How did Yang Wenyuan fall in love with your Hua'er?"

Judging from Madam Wu's attitude just now, it was obvious that the Yang family and the Sheng family had already discussed the marriage, and they just asked Madam Wu to go through the three matchmakers and six betrothal procedures. Wang Ruoyu believed that if the elders of the Yang family were to choose, it would not be the Sheng family's turn. There were many famous scholarly families and families with generations of nobility in Bianjing City. The Sheng family, which had just entered Bianjing, was far from being in the eyes of the Yang family.

In that case, it could only be that Yang Wenyuan himself had taken a fancy to Hualan and insisted on her, which was why the elders of the Yang family reluctantly accepted the marriage.

So when Wang Ruoyu asked this question, there was a hint of reluctance in his tone.

How could such great wealth fall into the hands of Wang Ruofu's daughter!
Wang Ruofu became even more excited after hearing this and slammed the table.

"I fell in love with it when I was in Yangzhou!"

"Yangzhou?" Wang Ruoyu was full of confusion.

"Ok!"

Wang Ruofu nodded affirmatively, "Ever since the Yuan family neglected my family and ruined the marriage, Yang Wenyuan has been interested in my Hua'er."

"Is there such a thing?"

Wang Ruoyu murmured absentmindedly, "Doesn't that mean the marriage was settled then?"

"Yes!"

Wang Ruofu looked very proud, "Everyone else thinks it's hard for my Hua'er to find a husband, but they don't know that we don't have any trouble finding a husband."

Wang Ruoyu left in despair and returned home with this unacceptable result.

Although he did not suffer any physical damage, the mental torture was unprecedented, as can be testified by people passing by the Kang family.

That day, one could hear the roar of the female Rakshasa every now and then in the Kang family courtyard. Finally, even Kang Haifeng couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran away from home and went to Guangyuntai to relieve his sorrow and boredom.

Madam Wu suddenly changed her personality. She was no longer in a hurry to prepare for the polo club in the spring. Instead, she frequently traveled between the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion and the Sheng family. All the ladies in Bianjing knew that Madam Wu had started to act as a matchmaker again.

But considering the differences between the two companies, many people are still somewhat skeptical.

The only son of a marquis and the daughter of a fifth-rank official?

Even with the blessing of Old Lady Sheng's status, it cannot make up for the huge gap between the two families.

But no matter what outsiders think, the marriage negotiation process between the two families is still carried out as normal.

Mrs. Chen took Hualan and Yang Wenyuan's birth dates and went to the temple where the Yang family spent hundreds of strings of cash on incense every year. The result of the divination was naturally good luck.

After Madam Wu informed the Sheng family, a detailed note, also known as the final note, was drafted at the same time.

Compared with the content in the draft letter, the content of the final letter is similar, but more detailed, including the names of official ranks and positions of three generations, and the ranking, birthday, official position, and master of ceremonies of relatives.

The engagement letter sent by the Sheng family stated Hualan's dowry, which included a box of jewelry, gold, silver, pearls, jade, curtains, land, houses, gardens, etc.

Mrs. Sheng's dowry was very large, and the Sheng family itself was a wealthy family. They knew that Hualan's marriage was one of the most luxurious, so they were willing to give her a generous dowry.

Even with Yang Yuqing's vision, he was still dumbfounded.

Yang Ruijin even laughed at Yang Wenyuan for being a gigolo.

Well, I heard this again from somewhere.

After the letters of appointment are exchanged, it is time for the "blind date", which means the two parties meet each other.

However, this process was omitted. Yang Wenyuan and Hualan had met countless times, and Mrs. Chen had already taken a liking to Hualan.
