Chapter 1868 Finding Chen Bing
The western part of the city is not considered a prosperous and wealthy area, and the Pan family's small three-courtyard house was already considered a relatively good house in Shili Lane.
Courtyards in the south and east of the city were too expensive, so the Pan family wanted to buy a larger but cheaper house, and could only afford one in Shili Lane.
Therefore, the neighbors living in Shili Lane were all families with a little extra money but not wealthy.
The sight of Shu Yu and his two carriages entering quickly attracted the attention of nearby residents.
The streets of Shili Lane are wide enough to allow two carriages to travel side by side.
The carriage stopped in front of the Pan family's house, and many people stared wide-eyed. When they saw the people getting off the carriage, they huddled together and whispered among themselves.
"Could it be that some wealthy relative of the Pan family has come this time? Didn't Old Man Pan's eldest daughter just visit last year? Why is she here again?"
"It doesn't seem like it to me. When their eldest daughter comes back, doesn't she always stop right at the alley entrance and have the Pan family come out to meet her?"
"The Pan family looks like they're about to get rich, with one wealthy relative after another coming in."
"Perhaps their family will have to move out of this Shili Lane soon."
As they were talking, Lu Sanzhu had already gotten off the carriage, his hands behind his back, looking up at the Pan family's gate with an inscrutable expression.
He then turned to Ying Dong and said, "Go knock on the door."
"Yes, Third Master." Ying Dong cooperated very well, and Lu Sanzhu was very satisfied.
The gate of the Pan family's house opened, and a thin, small gatekeeper came out. He was startled to see the crowd at the door and asked hesitantly, "Sir, who are you looking for?"
"Is your son-in-law, Chen Bing, living here now?"
The doorman was surprised, not expecting that they were looking for Chen Bing.
But then I thought, my cousin has been getting quite close to a scholar lately. Could these people be the scholar's family members who have come to propose marriage?
Upon realizing this, the gatekeeper hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, I live here."
"Yes, we're looking for him. Could you ask him to come out for a moment?"
"May I ask your surname, sir?"
My surname is Lu.
The doorman smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, Master Lu. I'll go find the young master right away."
After he finished speaking, he hurriedly turned and ran into the courtyard. After running a few steps, he suddenly realized something was wrong; the scholar's surname didn't seem to be Lu.
Alright, let's call the son-in-law out first. He looks like a distinguished person; even if he's not a member of the scholar's family, he's most likely a relative.
The gatekeeper ran inside, and Shu Yu had already helped the old lady and her aunt down from the carriage.
In addition, a whole bunch of people, including Shu Rui, Da Bao, and Er Niu, were standing at the door, making it look like a very grand affair.
The neighbors, witnessing this scene, began to discuss it even more enthusiastically.
"Who is this person who looks even more impressive than the wealthy merchant that the eldest daughter of the Pan family married into?"
"Haven't you heard? They're here to see that son-in-law of the Chen family."
Grandma Fang held the old lady's hand tightly. She was about to see Chen Bing, and at this moment, she was unable to calm down at all.
It's been thirty years since they last saw each other. I wonder if they'll scare him to death if they meet again.
Just then, a number of people hurriedly came out of the Pan family's courtyard.
Chen Bing led the way, followed by Chen He, Chen Qiu, and Pan Shi, and then several other members of the Pan family, presumably Pan Shi's brothers and sisters-in-law.
Lu Sanzhu swallowed hard and said to Lu Erbai standing next to him, "Second Brother, there are quite a lot of people here."
“We have quite a few people too.” Lu Erbai wasn’t afraid; his fists were already clenched.
