Luo Xin looked up in surprise and said, "Mom, this older brother's name has four characters!"
Chen Yuanxuan quickly seized the opportunity to show off his cultural knowledge: "This is a compound surname. Wenren is his surname, and Jiajin is his given name."
Wenren Jiajin smiled slightly at the two children: "What this young master said is right. My surname is quite rare, so it's normal that this young lady doesn't know it."
Xiao Yunying felt that the name suited the young master quite well, as delicate as his appearance and as gentle as his personality.
Chen Yuanyao said, "I understand. I will tell the proprietress of Jinxiu Pavilion when I get back tomorrow, and Young Master Wenren can go and choose a pattern in a few days."
"May I ask your name, young lady?"
"Oh, my surname is Chen, and my given name is Yuanyao."
"Chen Yuanyao?" A young man behind him muttered softly, "Why does that name sound so familiar?"
Another person whispered, "She's the second young lady of the Chen family."
Which Chen family residence?
"Which other Chen family residence is in Donglin City...?"
Presumably in front of Chen Yuanyao, the person was too embarrassed to speak, so they whispered a few words in another person's ear.
Wenren Jiajin was puzzled. He was curious about the girl's identity, but he didn't ask or discuss it directly like the others.
Zuo Qingzhi seemed to remember something: "Was your grandfather the Grand Scholar Wenren?"
Wenren Jiajin seemed unwilling to publicize the matter, so she didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Chen Yuanyao asked, "Do you know his grandfather?"
"How would I know this? I'm not an official in the court. It's just that the surname Wenren is rare. I remembered it after my father mentioned it before."
Speaking of which, Lord Wenren is Uncle Chen's senior; he even served as the late Emperor's tutor.
The men behind Wenren Jiajin were even more surprised. One of them nudged him with his elbow and said, "Brother Wenren, we didn't expect you to have such a distinguished background and such a prominent family, yet you are so low-key and have never told us about it before."
“Yes, I asked you before if you were related to the Grand Scholar Wenren in the court, but you said you just shared the same surname. Now that this girl has exposed you, I know you lied to me.”
Wenren Jiajin smiled gently: "My current family background is all earned by my ancestors and has little to do with me. There is nothing to brag about. If I become a high-ranking official in the future, I will definitely announce it to you with great fanfare."
Xiao Yunying raised an eyebrow. This Wenren Jiajin had an extraordinary background. Not only had he not developed the arrogant and domineering nature of a young master, but he was also quite witty.
She glanced at Chen Yuanyao, then at Zuo Qingzhi, and thought that this young man would be a good match for either of the younger sisters.
She turned to look at Zheng Yunwan again and found that she had already taken Luo Xin to pick peach blossoms on the side, showing no particular interest in these young gentlemen. She sighed helplessly.
