Chapter 332 Let's see what happens next.
"This chicken tastes really good; Mrs. Wei has excellent cooking skills."
As soon as the dishes were served, Ye Wan's eyes lit up; they looked, smelled, and tasted delicious.
“Madam Ye, my maiden name is Wanling. This is all I have to offer. If you want to eat this in the future, Madam Ye, just come and find me.”
Madam Wei smiled shyly; she was originally from a scholarly family.
Wei Shitou took a liking to her at first sight and proposed to her. At first, she was a little unwilling. After all, what family would like to call their daughter a roughneck? She originally thought that marrying a roughneck would make her life difficult.
After marrying into the family, I found that my mother-in-law was easy to get along with, my father-in-law was kind, and there were no messy rules in the house. In fact, it was much better than Wenchen's family, where rules were set up every now and then.
This life was actually more comfortable than when she was in her boudoir. In addition, the Wei family did not have any concubines, which fostered her innocent nature.
"You've already told me to call you Sister Wanling, so why are you still calling me Lady Ye? Just call me Ye Wan."
Madam Wei smiled, "Then may I call you Wanwan?"
Ye Wan nodded.
Many people call her that.
Just then, Madam Wei's maid arrived, looking anxious. "Madam, Xiao Ye and Miss Lin are fighting."
The Wei family had a good family tradition, and even the servants in the family called Wei Ye "Little Ye" and treated him like their own child.
Upon hearing this, Madam Wei's smile froze. "What's wrong with this child? Why is he bullying that young girl out of the blue!"
She had only just begun to get acquainted with Lady Ye when her son got into a fight with her daughter. What kind of situation is this?
"Sister Wanling, don't worry. Let's go see what's going on first, and we can also call the three children to come and eat."
Ye Wan wasn't in a hurry. San Ya wasn't the type to suffer a loss; she would always use deadly moves when she attacked, and she was also very strong.
As long as you don't beat someone's son too badly, it'll be fine, otherwise things will get really messy.
Madam Wei was also muttering to herself, "This wild boy can make young girls cry, what should I do?"
When the three of them went to the training ground, Sanya and Wei Ye were locked in a fierce and evenly matched fight on the platform.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Ye was pinned down by San Ya, who sat directly on him and pinned him down with her hands.
Do you submit or not?
This kid almost lost just now, but he cheated.
Wei Ye lay down and stopped struggling. How could this girl be so strong?
"I'm asking you a question, do you submit or not!" Sanya was afraid that if she let go, this kid would try to cheat again.
"You start with me..."
When Wei Ye looked up, he saw his mother, grandmother, and Lady Ye coming this way, and his ears instantly burned.
"I give up, I give up, get up quickly."
Sanya, however, thought he was cheating. "Weren't you still refusing to admit defeat just now? Are you trying to bluff me again?"
Madam Wei had already seen it. "Mother, look at that pathetic sight of him! He actually got beaten down by a little girl. Hahaha, it's hilarious!"
Madam Wei also burst into laughter.
Ye Wan: ...
Upon seeing Ye Wan, San Ya jumped up from the ground. "Mom, we were just having a proper spar. This kid started cheating, and I got angry and wanted him to admit defeat."
Er Ya touched the hairpin in her hair. "Yes, I can testify that it's true. But this kid didn't get the better of him either; he got beaten up later."
Ye Wan: ...
"Wanling, Madam, I'm really sorry, my daughter has a more outgoing personality."
Madam Wei looked at Sanya with shining eyes, "It's normal for children to spar with each other. I didn't expect that Miss Sanya would be so good at martial arts."
This seemingly delicate little girl is surprisingly good at fighting. She knows her own son well; he's all brawn and no brains. She never expected that a little girl could beat him into submission.
Madam Wei understood this from Ye Wan's words.
Ye Wan really dotes on his daughter.
Did you hear that? Try to raise your child to be more cheerful!
It means my daughter is completely right; her personality is something I spoiled and raised her to be.
Only daughters raised by such families will have confidence.
Madam Wei burst into laughter and joined her daughter-in-law in teasing her grandson.
Wei Ye lowered his head, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
"Oh dear, let's go eat quickly, or it'll get cold." Madam Wei was kind-hearted and gave her son a way out.
Ye Wan ate several pieces of meat, and then she couldn't eat anymore.
The main problem is that I've been eating too well these past two years, so my appetite has decreased.
Sanya asked Ye Wan in a low voice, "Mother, have you eaten enough?"
"I'm full." Ye Wan put down her chopsticks.
Just as Madam Wei was about to ask if it wasn't to her liking, she saw Sanya start eating.
Sanya eats extremely fast, but you can't feel any aversion to her, just like a little hamster.
Madam Wei was even happier to see this.
She likes food that can be eaten well.
Those noble ladies eat like cats, becoming unable to get up after just a cold. Isn't that torturing themselves?
When they returned from the Wei family, Old Madam Wei gave Er Ya and San Ya each a gold hairpin. They looked like an old-fashioned style, but they were quite heavy.
Sanya was alright, but Erya, that money-grubber, had her eyes light up and was smiling so genuinely.
"Wanling, do you think the gold hairpin I found in my dowry is too tacky? I hope people won't look down on it."
"No, they are all daughters raised in good families. How could they look down on our family? It's just that I always feel uneasy. They respect my old man, but I'm after their daughters."
Old Madam Wei felt a little guilty when she talked about this. If it were the Wei family in the past, it wouldn't have mattered.
The family is now in decline and has little wealth left. Wouldn't it be a tragedy to marry a girl into their family?
Madam Wei comforted her, "Mother, this is just the beginning. We can talk about the future later. Maybe our little Ye is too weak to even beat other girls. Maybe he won't win."
Wei Ye:......
I'm still here, can't you treat me like I'm alive?
...
...
The next day, Wei Ye was packed up and sent to the princess's residence.
The news spread like wildfire, causing quite a stir in many households in the capital. Old man Wei was really good at scheming; since most of the military power was in Lin Anyuan's hands, he simply packed up his grandson and sent him over.
Many military families began to have second thoughts; otherwise, they might also send their sons there.
"Father, please let me stay at the Princess's residence! Father, I beg you!"
Cai Lei was there, trying to persuade him relentlessly.
"Given our family's current situation, if we're going to try to climb the social ladder, so be it. We should be brave enough to admit it. Other families would love to try, but they can't even get a chance!"
“That’s my cousin’s husband, a rising star in the court. What do you call this? Being close to the water tower means getting the moon first.”
Cai Yuanfeng felt his face burning with embarrassment. How could he have raised such a shameless child who didn't want to take the proper path of the imperial examinations but only thought about taking shortcuts?
Madam Cai also advised, "My lord, I think our son is right. We have a good relationship, so why not use it?"
"The problem is, do you see him putting his mind to studying? He's not even interested in studying."
After much deliberation, Cai Yuanfeng decided to find out what his father thought.
Since we'll have to choose sides sooner or later anyway, why not just follow Lin Anyuan? At least we have his sister's connection.
The Yu family, however, is in a different situation.
Looking at his son who was engrossed in his studies, Yu Guangzhong said with satisfaction, "Now you finally know how to make progress."
"Sir, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to form a marriage alliance with the Lin family." Madam Yu was actually quite tempted.
With the decline of powerful clans, the Lin family is now truly a high-ranking branch.
Yu Guangzhong snorted coldly.
"Let's wait and see. A riot of flowers and a blazing fire may not necessarily be a good thing."
