"Oh, why didn't I think of that just now? If I had known earlier, I would have come and shouted. Looking at the way those people are dressed, they are obviously from wealthy families. I'm afraid that Mr. Wen has been spotted by some rich girl."
"Yes, Wen Juren is very handsome, and this kind of man is most popular with noble ladies. Maybe Wen Juren is really lucky enough to be favored by a rich lady, and then she can take her old mother to live with her."
"What a pity! Why didn't I think of shouting out just now? Otherwise, Aunt Wen would remember it and maybe get some benefits from it in the future."
"Sixth Aunt is still capable."
"Yes, this Sixth Aunt has sharp eyes..."
Amidst the sour comments from her neighbors, Sixth Aunt returned to her room with a sullen face. After closing the door, she heard her daughter-in-law say, "Mother, you're really sharp-eyed. When Aunt Wen becomes wealthy, perhaps she'll remember you standing up for her today. But what you say is a bit unpleasant. You've got to change your ways from now on..."
Aunt Six glared at her lazy daughter-in-law and said, "Is the meal cooked? You have time to chatter here, the meal is already cooked."
The daughter-in-law looked a little unhappy.
But thinking about what had just happened, Sixth Aunt's daughter-in-law immediately smiled again, responded and went to the kitchen obediently.
"Are you worried about your Aunt Wen?" The one who said this was Aunt Liu's husband.
Because of his inconvenient legs and feet, he had been sitting in the yard weaving baskets and other items, so he heard what happened at the door just now.
Aunt Six glanced at her husband and sighed, "I just feel something is wrong."
"You know the situation of the Wen family. They're orphans and widows, so poor they can barely make ends meet. Those rich young ladies aren't blind, so how could they be attracted to just anyone? Besides, which of those young ladies isn't raised in a wealthy family? How could they just randomly run into a poor boy? Do you really think it's a picture book where you can just run into any rich young lady on the street?"
"You, you really have to worry about everything."
Sixth Aunt's husband smiled helplessly and said, "This person has his own destiny. Why bother worrying so much? Besides, you've already reminded her. Since it's her own choice, you don't need to worry about it anymore."
Aunt Six thought about it and nodded: "Okay, I don't bother to care anymore."
But at this moment she clapped her hands: "Oh no, how could I have forgotten you? Those people are obviously servants of a wealthy family. I should have pushed them over and got back the three taels of silver..."
Sixth Aunt’s husband:…?
But at this moment.
'Boom'
Something hit Sixth Aunt on the head.
"Ouch, who threw a stone at me?" Aunt Liu touched her head which was hurt by the impact and shouted angrily at the door.
"Old woman, please take a look at that."
Aunt Six looked at the ground where her husband was pointing. Her eyes widened when she saw it. It was a shiny ingot of silver.
Sixth Aunt picked it up, put it in her mouth and took a bite, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Old man, it's real."
My wife was also very surprised.
That ingot of silver looked to weigh twenty taels.
After Wang Bo threw the silver, he led his men away in the dark. He had seen the Sixth Aunt blocking the road and calling for help just now, and he had also listened from the corner. He had originally wanted to pay back the silver for his young lady.
After listening to it, I think this Sixth Aunt is pretty good.
Look, a big one was thrown in.
Return to the Wen family.
Wang Bo mysteriously told the head of the Wen family everything that Wen's mother had told him.
"Master, this is what happened. The young lady refused to come back, and then I asked someone to check who took her away, and they were from Prince Cheng's Mansion."
"Prince Cheng's Mansion?"
The head of the Wen family frowned.
After a while.
He sneered and said, "That silly girl Lian'er, she probably still thinks she's hidden her identity very well! I'm afraid King Cheng has already found out everything about her."
Wang Bo was stunned: "Master, are you saying that Prince Cheng already knew the young lady's identity?"
"How else could a poor boy with a little talent induce King Cheng to set up such a grand chess game?" said the head of the Wen family.
Wang Bo was even more confused. What kind of chess?
"Forget it. Since she wants to cooperate with her son, let her do whatever she wants." The Wen family patriarch sighed and said, "We're also busy at this time. You can have someone pay more attention... Forget it, there's no need to send someone to watch them specifically, lest someone discover any flaws, which would be bad for them and their son."
Wang Bo naturally didn't dare to say anything.
The head of the Wen family gave a few more instructions before finally saying, "After the banquet is ready, send an invitation to the Marquis of Zhenbei as well."
"yes."
Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Yang Tiejiang was quite surprised when he received the invitation from the Wen family.
"This is the first time I've received such a formal invitation since I returned to Beijing!"
Steward Yan smiled and said, "The Wen family is a well-established family in the capital. They have rarely held such grand banquets in recent years. It is indeed a rare honor to receive an invitation from the Wen family this time."
Yang Tiejiang said, "However, it seems that the higher-ups have also invited Ah Jin. Do you think they've taken a fancy to Ah Jin? Do they want to arrange a blind date for him?"
How could Butler Yan dare to answer this question?
Instead, Lu Li, a subordinate standing by, smiled and said, "My Lord, the Third Young Master is not young anymore. I think this is a good opportunity. The Wen family is a family of great wealth, and the girls of the Wen family have always been well-educated. It would be great if the Third Young Master could marry a girl from the Wen family."
Yang Tiejiang looked at Lu Li with a smile: "Hey! When did you know so much?"
"My lord, you forgot that Lu Li is still unmarried! Now that he's in the capital, how can he not ask around? However, I have heard that all the unmarried girls from Minister Lu's mansion seem to have gone there, as well as those from Grand Tutor Liu's family. This banquet of the Wen family is not simple, they must be trying to arrange a marriage." Sun Ruixin said with a smile.
"Marriage?"
Yang Tiejiang raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Li and Sun Ruixin.
Both of them have been with him for many years.
Although Sun Ruixin was from Beijing, he had no other close relatives at home except an old ancestor with dementia. In addition, he had been fighting on the battlefield beside Yang Tiejiang for many years, so his marriage was naturally delayed.
Lu Li, an orphan from the battlefield, had always been with Yang Tiejiang, so naturally he had no time to think about getting married.
"Come to think of it, except for that silly boy Qin Minglang who found a wife, none of you are married yet?"
"That won't do. Now that we've all returned to the capital, I must take care of your lifelong affairs." Yang Tiejiang said, and then instructed Steward Yan: "Pay close attention recently to see if there are any good girls waiting to be married in the capital."
