Chapter 96 The Lady of the Marquis' Mansion? !

Yang Wenyuan rode his horse to the door of Wang's house.

Before the man got off the horse, an old man with gray hair rushed up and ran straight to the carriage behind.

"Fer!"

"……" As soon as he pulled open the curtain, a strange old face came into view. Yang Ruijin's face immediately turned embarrassed and he quickly covered his face and jumped out of the carriage in embarrassment.

Wang Ruofu then stuck her head out and shouted, "Uncle!"

The affection between the two was heart-touching.

It was Wang Zhuo who reacted quickly and called everyone in to get out of the awkward situation for Yang Wenyuan and Yang Ruijin who were left aside.

After entering the door, Wang Ruofu introduced:

"This is Yang Wenyuan, the young man who married my Hua'er."

"The one who came with him is his cousin."

"Wenyuan, this is my uncle, Wang Shunqing, and this is my cousin, Wang Zhuo."

Wang Shunqing and Wang Zhuo both knew that the one Hualan was going to marry was the eldest son of a noble family, so when they heard what Wang Ruofu said, they immediately stood up and saluted.

Yang Wenyuan knew that he couldn't stop him, so he nodded and accepted the gift.

There is no way, the Great Zhou has its own national conditions.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

Even though the status of merchants in the Great Zhou Dynasty was much higher than in previous dynasties, the business environment was relaxed, and merchant families were allowed to take imperial examinations and enter officialdom.

But the nature of businessmen remains unchanged, and their status is still at the bottom of society.

Therefore, when Wang Shunqing met a "superior scholar" like Yang Wenyuan, even though he knew that it was brought by his niece Wang Ruofu, his first reaction was to pay his respects hastily, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Wang Zhuo regretted it in his heart.

I thought the person who came was a member of a noble family, but who would have thought that it was actually the legitimate son?
I was negligent. I was negligent just now!

Wang Shunqing also felt regretful in his heart.

I was so happy to see Wang Ruofu just now that I ignored Yang Wenyuan and Yang Ruijin.

Yang Wenyuan also took Yang Ruijin to pay a simple salute.

Yang Wenyuan was used to observing their expressions and could see that they were restrained.

So, using the excuse that they were tired from traveling all the way, they asked Wang Zhuo to take them to find a yard to rest.

After Yang Wenyuan and his companions left, Wang Shunqing's expression eased slightly.

Wang Ruofu saw this and said:

"Uncle, Wenyuan is a well-mannered and sensible child. You don't need to react so strongly, right?"

Wang Shunqing shook his head.

He knew that Wang Ruofu had no prejudice against him.

He is even happier now, and has probably forgotten about the difference in status.

At this time, Wang Zhuo came in excitedly and asked:

"Sister, you didn't mention which Yang family you were in your previous letter. Now we are all family, why don't you tell us?"

There were several noble families with the surname Yang in Bian Jing. Wang Ruofu had been warned by Sheng Hong before, so she did not mention which family it was in the letter.

Wang Zhuo thought to himself: That young nobleman just now had an extraordinary bearing. Compared with him, the children of the prefect are far inferior.

Could it be the Earl’s family again?

Thinking of this, Wang Zhuo felt even happier for Wang Ruofu.

I thought that the marriage proposal from the Yuan family of Earl Zhongqin's Mansion had been rejected, and Hualan could only look for a better marriage partner. Now she is marrying into an earl's family?
But then Wang Zhuo scratched his head again.

If I remember correctly, there doesn't seem to be an earl with the surname Yang in the Great Zhou...

Could he be the eldest son of the Viscount’s family?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Wang Zhuo became even more excited.

Will Hualan become the Viscount's wife in the future?

Wang Zhuo looked at Wang Ruofu expectantly, wanting to hear her say the title she expected.

Wang Ruofu had no intention of showing off in front of Wang Shunqing and Wang Zhuo, so she didn't keep them in suspense and smiled softly:
"Marquis Mansion, the legitimate son of Marquis Pingyang, Yang Wenyuan." Marquis... Marquis Mansion?
When Wang Zhuo heard the first word that came out of Wang Ruofu's mouth, his mind was already confused.

Hualan's marriage has reached a new level?
But as soon as the "legitimate son of Marquis Pingyang" appeared, Wang Zhuo's brain froze on the spot.

Pingyang Marquis Mansion?

Is it the Pingyang Marquis Mansion that I know, the one that became famous throughout the world a few years ago?
The legitimate son of Marquis Pingyang?

If Wang Zhuo remembered correctly, the report that was sent over at the time seemed to say that the Yang family in Pingyang Marquis's Mansion had only one son, right?

Although the official reports of the Great Zhou were circulated among officials, there is always a leak of information, and much of the content in the reports would be leaked.

Although the Wang family to which Wang Shunqing belonged was just a merchant family, they were wealthy after all. In addition, they had connections with the Wang family in Bian Jing and had a certain status in Hongzhou. Naturally, they also obtained some contents of the court report.

For example, the Yang family of Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

Some of the information leaked out, such as the Yang family had few members and the old Marquis of Pingyang had only one son.

and so……

The young man just now was the only son of the previous generation of Marquis Pingyang. Is he the current Marquis Pingyang?

Hualan's future husband?
My niece will soon become the eldest lady of the Marquis's Mansion?!

Wang Zhuo just felt that this world was too crazy and not reasonable at all.

What is this, a blessing in disguise?

Pie in the sky?

Wang Shunqing gradually came back to his senses from his shock, and said in a voice that was a little unbelievable:

"Pingyang Marquis Mansion Yang Family? Was that the young marquis just now?"

"Ah."

Wang Ruofu had already digested the fact that Hualan was going to be the eldest lady of the Marquisate these days, so she was very calm and said:

"Yes, the young marquis of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion."

"The eldest son of the Marquis of Pingyang Mansion will accompany you to my house?"

"Uh……"

Wang Ruofu discovered the misunderstanding and quickly explained:

"No way, I don't have that much face. Wenyuan is going back to his hometown this time. His hometown is in Huangzhou, not far from here, so he just came to send me here.

Oh, by the way, Gu Erlang from Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is on good terms with him and is studying at Bailu Academy, so he will go to Bailu Cave in a couple of days."

"Bailu Academy?" Wang Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard that. He was about to speak, but Wang Shunqing glanced at him. He could only swallow his original words and sighed softly.

Wang Ruofu saw it and said in confusion:

"What's wrong? Why did brother suddenly sigh?"

Under his father's oppressive gaze, Wang Zhuo was unable to speak out his original words, and could only force a smile:

"Nothing, I just thought that I had sent someone to urge my two brats to go home, why haven't they arrived yet?"

"I was wondering why I didn't see the younger generation just now. It turns out they were not at home."

Wang Ruofu held the handkerchief in her hand, thought hard, and said slowly:

"My elder brother's two sons are called kings..."

Just as Wang Zhuo was about to remind him, Wang Ruofu suddenly said in a loud voice:
"Wang Xian, Wang Ye? Right?"

Before Wang Zhuo nodded, Wang Ruofu said to herself, "It must be this name. I shouldn't remember it wrong."

"Yes, sister is right, this is the name."

Wang Zhuo tilted his head to look at his father Wang Shunqing and said:

"Now these two children, one is nineteen and the other is seventeen, are both studying in a private school in the city."

"read?"

Wang Ruofu immediately blurted out, "So where did you get in the exam this year?"

Wang Ruofu's letter mentioned that Changbai had passed the provincial examination, so Wang Zhuo was a little embarrassed. Wang Shunqing didn't care as much as Wang Zhuo did, and said with a smile:
"My two grandsons are just like their father. They are not good candidates for the imperial examinations. Both of them failed."

Wang Ruofu didn't know what to say anymore, so she changed the subject.
