"haven't seen you for a long time!"

"Hey! Cousin, why are you here too?" Su Chenyu asked.

Jing Chen asked: "Why? Only you are allowed to come?"

"Master Su, our master also has business in Huamen Town, so we are here to inspect it." Ye Feng said.

"Tsk! You're the only one who trusts your master so much." Su Chenyu curled her lips.

"Jingchen! It's really Jingchen who is here!" The old man walked in and said happily.

"Hello, Grandpa Xu." Jing Chen said with a faint smile.

"You kid, you've grown taller! You've become an adult! And Ye Feng, I see that you're not young anymore, it's time for you to get married?" The old man praised.

Ye Feng didn't know how to respond.

"Haha! Grandpa Xu, Ye Feng is still a bachelor, no one loves him!" Su Chenyu slapped his thigh and laughed.

"Cousin, I remember you should be seventeen this year, right? My grandfather is still waiting!" Jing Chen said.

"You... okay, okay, you two have a deep relationship as master and servant, and I, your cousin, am an outsider." After Su Chenyu said that, he sat down on the stool, picked up the tea and took a sip.

The old man laughed and said, "Kids nowadays! When I was your age, my eldest child could already call me dad."

Wang came in and said, "When you were Chenyu's age, your family was extremely poor. If you hadn't found a wife while you were young, you'd probably still be single now! I'm the only one who pities you and is willing to marry you."

The old man said, "I don't like what you said, old woman! There were so many girls who liked me back then! But in the end, I still think you are the most suitable to be my companion!"

"You old man have no shame! What are you saying in front of the children?" Wang glared.

Su Chenyu smiled and said, "Grandpa Xu must have been very handsome when he was young, otherwise how could such a virtuous, beautiful and generous Grandma Xu be willing to marry into Grandpa Xu's family? Am I right?"

Su Chenyu's words undoubtedly pleased the two elders. He praised both the old man and Wang.

"Look, this child Chenyu is really good at talking. He can make people feel sweet from the bottom of their hearts with just one word." Wang said with a smile.

The old man said, "Old lady, tell the kitchen to make a few more dishes that Chenyu likes for lunch. Jingchen should have tried our hot pot before! Make some for him at noon."

Wang rolled her eyes at the old man and said, "I've already explained everything! Do I need you to tell me?"

Su Chenyu raised his eyebrows proudly.

Wang said, "Okay, old man, go do what you need to do and give these young people a talk."

The old man said, "Good, good, good! Wenwu, treat us well."

"I understand, Grandpa."

Xu Wenwu introduced the Wen brothers and sisters to Jingchen.

Jing Chen nodded slightly at the two of them.

"Brother Xu, congratulations on passing the exam." Jing Chen said.

Xu Wenwu was a little surprised. He had never heard Jing Chen call him like that.

Then he said, "Thank you."

Su Chenyu asked, "Wenwu, do you plan to enter the officialdom in the future?"

Xu Wenwu confirmed: "Yes, I want to protect the Xu family."

Su Chenyu said, "This officialdom is not easy to navigate. If you're not careful, you'll fall into someone's trap. Some people may appear polite and courteous to you, but they might turn around and stab you."

Xu Wenwu said, "I understand. I just want to protect my family and do my job well. The rest has nothing to do with me."

Su Chenyu said, "It's best if you think this way. Never confide in people in official circles. You have to make sure that others can't understand your thoughts and can't control you, otherwise you will suffer."

Xu Wenwu nodded.

Wen Yuan also said: "Brother Su is right, my father said the same thing."

They were all about the same age and quickly started chatting.

…

"Uncle Wen, I really like Miss Wen. Please help me. These are the two boxes of betrothal gifts my father prepared. They are also my little token of my appreciation. I will definitely not let Miss Wen down."

At this moment in Qingyun City, in the Wen Mansion, Magistrate Wen and Madam Wen looked at Feng Zheng with somewhat unpleasant expressions.

Prefect Wen said, "First of all, I am very grateful for Mr. Feng's kindness. I also ask Mr. Feng to go back and tell Prefect Feng that I appreciate his kindness, but please take the gift back with you. Our Wen family is really not worthy of the Feng family."

Feng Zheng said, "Uncle, don't rush to refuse. Listen to me first. As long as Miss Wen marries me, I don't want any dowry. In addition, I will give you five boxes of betrothal gifts. As long as our two families marry, we will be one family from now on. If the Wen family needs help in the future, our Feng family will definitely help."

Mrs. Wen had been unhappy since Feng Zheng came into the house. She had heard that this man was a playboy and had affairs with other women. She could not bring herself to push her daughter into this trouble. Moreover, apart from his family background, this man was no match for Xu Wenwu.

To resolve this issue, Madam Wen said, "Master Feng, I don't think you know yet that my daughter is already engaged. How can I accept Master Feng's affection?"

Feng Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Aunt Wen, please don't frame me. I've already inquired before I came here, and I haven't heard that Miss Wen has already made an engagement. Are you deliberately looking for an excuse to put me off?"

Madam Wen's face became even more embarrassed. She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said, "Mr. Feng, you're joking. I'm telling the truth. Besides, there's no need to lie to you."

Feng Zheng was already unhappy and said, "Then I wonder who the name of the man Miss Wen is talking about is, and where he lives? I'd like to know what kind of talented person is worthy of Miss Wen?"

Prefect Wen said in a deep voice, "Master Feng, there's no need to press the issue. This marriage was originally a matter of mutual consent. My daughter has no feelings for Master Feng. This forced marriage is not a happy one."

Now that things have been said, the rejection is very obvious.
