"What's wrong with this? I think it's a great thing. After we go to the capital, I'll arrange your marriage with the eldest son. You can get married when we get home. It just so happens that Rong Mu and Lan Lan's marriage needs to be settled. Why don't you two settle your marriages together and have double happiness?" Xu Shi said.

"Mother..." Han Chan wanted to refuse, but seeing that Madam Xu was unhappy, she swallowed her words of refusal and said, "Mother, this matter is a big deal or a small deal, and I can't make a decision on my own. I have to go back and discuss it with Tao Tao. If Tao Tao agrees, my brother and I will go to the capital with you and Brother Ronghua to see the world."

Madam Xu said, "Alright, Ronghua, you and Chanchan go to find Taotao and have a good talk with him."

Ronghua was overjoyed and quickly said, "Mother, don't worry, your son will definitely handle this matter properly."

Because this matter was very difficult, they talked to Han Tao about it, and Han Tao immediately agreed.

Han Tao has always excelled in his studies, and Pei Xiucai likes him very much. However, Pei Xiucai understands that neither Han Tao nor Rong Yu are caged birds; they are destined for a much wider sky to soar in.

Confining them to this small space is a very irresponsible thing for them.

Moreover, Prince Yi had always hoped that they could go to the capital to receive a more systematic education. However, Han Tao was still young, and he had an older sister who was watching over him. The two had a very good relationship, and if they were separated like this, it would be a very troublesome thing for both the sister and the brother.

After the New Year, Rong Yu will take the preliminary examination for the imperial examination. After that, he will take the autumn examination at the end of the year. He will have to go to the capital to take the examination next year. He will have to go sooner or later. It doesn’t matter if he goes a little earlier or a little later.

However, if they go to the capital soon, Prince Yi will carefully train them and make them more familiar with the workings of the court. At that time, their abilities will definitely come in handy.

Han Tao had long wanted to go to the capital, but he was worried about his sister and didn't agree. The first time was a very good opportunity, and if he missed it, who knew when the next one would come?

So Han Tao agreed without hesitation and even said a lot of things to reassure Han Chan on Rong Hua's behalf.

Therefore, the siblings went to the capital together.

Upon arriving in the capital, Feng Sijin personally received them and arranged for them to rest in the best residence. After they had rested, she would take them to see Sheng Bao.

Feng Sijin had already investigated everything thoroughly, including the Rong family's character, so he treated them very well and always put their feelings first.

This was the first time the two families had met. The fried noodles weren't very strong, but Feng Sijin showed the Rong family the respect they deserved.

You should know that Feng Sijin had locked himself in that small courtyard for more than ten years. If it weren't for Rong Sheng's appearance, he would never have stepped out of the courtyard in his entire life, let alone come to the city gate to greet a complete stranger.

Upon seeing Rong Dong'an and the others, Feng Sijin's dark eyes immediately shone with a gentle light. She couldn't help but admire them. No wonder they were such a family who had raised Shengbao so well. Their temperament was gentle from beginning to end, which was far better than that of people with a strong sense of power and influence.

At first glance, the Rong family left Feng Sijin with a very good impression.

“Brother Rong, I hope you won’t be too reserved since it’s our first meeting. I’m just Shengbao’s father.” Seeing that the Rong family seemed a bit reserved, Feng Sijin took the initiative to break the ice and said, “You must have suffered a lot on your journey to reach the capital before the New Year. Let’s not talk standing at the carriage door anymore, let’s go into the city quickly.”

Rong Dong'an and Madam Xu knew that the Feng family was the head of all aristocratic families, and Feng Sijin was an extraordinary figure. If he were still the head of the Feng family, the Feng family would surely be above the imperial power.

Their hearts pounded with anxiety, fearing that Feng Sijin would crush them and snatch their precious daughter away from them.

Rong Yu had some understanding of the affairs of the court and the Feng family; his understanding was more thorough than that of his parents.

Seeing that his parents didn't speak and their eyes were fixed on Feng Sijin, who looked silly like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, Rong Yu nudged Rong Dong'an: "Father, don't be impolite and make people laugh. Shengbao is waiting for us in the capital, we can't waste time here."

Upon hearing Rong Yu's words, Rong Dong'an snapped out of his daze, forcing a smile onto his fearful face: "Patriarch Feng, you are too kind. We are just ordinary people, and we really cannot accept your address of 'Brother Rong'! Please, Patriarch Feng..."

"Hey! Brother Rong, there's no need for such modesty. I'm a little older than you, so calling you Brother Rong is perfectly appropriate. Besides, my daughter Rong Sheng has become so wonderful under your guidance. As her father, I feel both guilty and very gratified. So please don't refuse, Brother Long!"

Feng Sijin appeared gentle but brooked no refusal, and that's how the matter was settled.

Rong Dong'an was very embarrassed, but he didn't say much. Then he introduced his family to Feng Sijin.

When the entire Rong family faced Feng Sijin, they addressed him as "Feng Family Head," a title that greatly displeased Feng Sijin. So they quickly made them change their address, and the four children, except for Xu Shi, addressed him as "Uncle."

Rong Dong'an and Madam Xu called him "elder brother"!

“Shengbao is your daughter, and she is also my daughter. We are all gathered together because of Shengbao. In order not to make Shengbao worry, we must get along well. Don’t worry, I will never put on airs in front of you. I will treat you like relatives and friends.”

Since Feng Sijin had said so, Rong Dong'an and the others did not refuse, and then followed Feng Sijin into the capital.

After entering the capital, they arrived at a very exquisite and large mansion.

Rong Sheng bought this courtyard with his own money; it was specially prepared for his parents.

This courtyard is not far from the Feng family's house, so the two families can visit each other often in the future.

Feng Sijin was eager to please Rong Sheng, so how could she possibly refuse Rong Sheng and hurt her feelings?

When Rong Dong'an and the others learned that Sheng Bao had bought the courtyard for them, they all showed doting smiles.

Sheng Bao is still the same understanding, sensible, and obedient Sheng Bao. She hasn't been blinded by the passage of time or the prosperity of the capital, nor has she forgotten them.

When they entered the courtyard and saw how warm and inviting everything was, they were completely at ease, and their previous anxiety and fear vanished.

Feng Sijin didn't leave, but sat down and had a good chat with them, talking a lot about Rong Sheng. Originally, the two families seemed very reserved and distant.

But because of Rong Sheng, everyone gradually opened up and the awkwardness and restraint from a distance disappeared instantly, and they got along well like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
