Ever since Wei Xuanning came in, Zhu was worried that Wei Xuanning would dislike her family. Although the fourth room was renovated later, Zhu only knew the difference. The house that seemed pretty good to them might be just a shabby thatched hut to Wei Xuanning.

But when she saw that Wei Xuanning remained expressionless and was very respectful to her, Zhu felt better.

Little did he know that Wei Xuanning was also looking at the fourth room. He was really shocked. Yang Zhao and his wife were very polite to him. He thought that since Yang Zhao could become the confidant of Princess Han and have such a status in the Han Palace, he should be a taciturn and scheming person. He looked that way, but after a few words, he knew that Yang Zhao was an honest and simple person. He was very surprised.

It's amazing that such a simple person could hold such an important position.

Furthermore, it is puzzling how Zhu and Yang Zhao, such an ordinary couple, could give birth to a person with outstanding appearance and graceful figure like Yang Yurong.

Then there is Yang Yurong's brother, Yang Tingjian, who is also an honest man who doesn't talk much. He is in his twenties and has a scholarly spirit.

He suppressed his doubts. Fortunately, Chen and Zhu were quite talkative. Chen was even happier when she saw that the girl's parents were honest people. She thought that after all, she was from the Hongnong Yang family and a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty. The fourth branch was also a direct line after all, so she really had a good upbringing.

The two families had not had much contact in the past, and they could not find any topic to talk about for a while, but fortunately both sides had matchmakers, and there was also a matchmaker hired in the middle to create a warm atmosphere, so they talked very warmly.

At this time, Zhu personally sent someone to invite the eldest wife of the eldest house, Mrs. Xie, the sister-in-law of Princess Han, to be the guest. Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Chen knew each other, and they played cards and drank tea together.

"Ask the young lady to bring up the tea." Zhu ordered.

The intention was also to let Chen meet Yurong, and at the same time express her satisfaction with Wei Xuanning. Since he came to her house with such sincerity, her daughter should also come out.

Now Chen became excited. She was playing cards distractedly until a person appeared at the door. She was wearing a goose yellow shirt and no accessories except a pearl necklace around her neck. There was only a pearl and white jade hairpin on her head. Although it was simple, it made her look more delicate and beautiful.

Chen stood up. People say that everyone loves beauty, let alone such a beauty. Her every frown, smile, gesture and movement seemed to make people dare not treat her with disrespect. No wonder the Zhang family decided to make this girl their daughter-in-law after just one look at her.

Zhu's daughter was her pride. Seeing Chen was stunned, Zhu asked, "What kind of tea did you prepare?"

"It's jasmine tea." She personally held the teapot and served tea to the Chen family members. Her posture was graceful and there was a smile on her face. Even women were infatuated with her.

Xie couldn't help but think that men's tastes were completely wrong with King Jiangxia. She, as a woman, was infatuated with a beauty like Yurong, let alone a man.

After she served the tea, Chen couldn't help but ask, "How old are you, young lady? Have you ever been to school?"

Yurong took a quick look at Chen and roughly knew what kind of personality she had, so she smiled and said, "My daughter has just reached the age of marriage this year and has been studying in a private school. She likes poetry the most."

This Chen has an easy-going personality. When she was drinking tea just now, she first looked at the color of the tea. It was obvious that she was from a noble family. She was also a simple person, unlike those people who were conservative and conservative.

"Oh, whose poetry do you like best?" Chen became interested.

Yurong smiled and said, "I like Wang Bo the most, especially the poem "Sending Du Shaofu to Shuzhou" which describes the idea that a close friend is like a neighbor even though they are far away. It can show the broad-mindedness of people."

Chen then asked, "What about "Farewell at the Jiangting Night Moon"? Have you read it?"

"Yes, the smoke is everywhere and the green bricks are covered, the moon is flying to the south. The pavilion is closed and the mountains and rivers are cold in the night. Every time I read it, I always feel that the picture is beautiful and intoxicating."

But this poem also expresses the poet's nostalgia for his life.

Chen thought that this girl was talented and beautiful, but her marriage was not smooth. Fortunately, this time they were able to get married. Chen took the initiative to praise Zhu: "Your girl is really well educated."

"Thank you for the compliment."

The groom's elders were also very satisfied with the bride, so Yurong bowed and left. A girl should respect her status. If she stays here all the time, people will think she is losing face.

Because they were satisfied with each other and they had a dinner at Dongshenglou at noon, Chen couldn't help but feel that the Yang family was serious and had a better impression of them.

The two sides exchanged horoscopes, and Chen was going to take Wei Xuanning home. Naturally, the man and woman could not meet each other this time, but Chen was obviously very fond of Yurong, and she said to Wei Xuanning: "This girl is not only good at poetry, but also good at music, housekeeping, and sewing. She is also very beautiful, and ordinary people can't compare to her."

"Oh, you think so highly of her." Wei Xuanning smiled. He actually felt very bored, mainly because Yang Zhao and his son had nothing to say to him.

Madam Lu watched the whole process and then murmured, "This is just asking for the name, not even paying the betrothal gift. It's such a generous gift just for coming to the door..."

Mrs. Xie said swiftly, "Auntie, don't you see that this is the Wei family?"

Mrs. Lu finally shut up.

Because this matter had to be completed before Wei Xuanning took up his post, the horoscope matching was just a formality, and the next step was to offer the betrothal gift. The Wei family prepared a pair of live geese and a generous betrothal gift. This time it was a grand event, and even Zhou Ziying, who lived with her cousin, found out about it. Lu Yingying said something sour.

"I never thought Yang Yurong would be so lucky..."

Lu Yingying's maid exaggerated, "I never thought that the Wei family would marry her. One of them did something bad to Princess Xin'an and then took advantage of her misfortune. The other was even more interesting. She broke off the engagement when she saw her husband's family was exiled. They are both a heartless man and a heartless woman, a match made in heaven."

Lu Yingying laughed happily, "That's wonderful, very wonderful." But looking at her cousin, she couldn't help but feel that the girl was talking too much. After all, her cousin had also arranged to get married to Wei Xuanning's father, and would be getting married this year.

She comforted Zhou Ziying, "Don't worry, the worse her reputation is, the better it is for you."

Although Zhou Ziying was able to marry Wei Xiang in this life, she did not do this for Wei Xuanning, but because she really wanted to spend her life with Wei Rui...

In her previous life, Old Madam Wei was dissatisfied with her and thought that she had seduced Prime Minister Wei. She was very low-key in this life because she was afraid of leaving a bad impression on the Old Madam after entering the house.

But……

Yang Yurong's reputation was far worse than hers. Although she had been obsessed with Wei Xuanning before, she had come to her senses in the past few years and had become a lady from a wealthy family. At least she did not take advantage of her fiancé like Yang Yurong did. It was said that before Zhang Lingyi's father was exiled, he asked the Yang family to send his old belongings back to his hometown to the orphans in the clan, and the Yang family kept a small portion of it. Moreover, Yang Yurong was to be a concubine and was rejected by King Jiangxia...

With such a bad reputation, she actually received so much betrothal gifts. Then why was her betrothal gift less than half of Yang Yurong's?

But it was said that Wei Xuanning came over with a gift this time, and Yurong just met him.

I had only heard of how handsome he was before, but when I saw him today, I found that he was indeed extraordinary. Even his fleeting silhouette looked particularly beautiful under the sunlight. The servants stood three meters away to make it easier for the engaged couple to talk.

Yurong was wearing a pink spring dress today, looking very charming. Wei Xuanning cleared his throat. The two of them had never met before, and they were speechless for a moment.

Yurong opened the bookcase beside her and said, "I heard that you were going to Taiyuan to take up your post, and I happened to get this book, which is about the officialdom in Taiyuan. If you need it, I'll give it to you."

Ah? Wei Xuanning took it and flipped through it a few times before he realized it was a good thing. This was a record of Zhang Chang's time as a salt official in Datong. The salt official was both a job and a spy for the emperor. The content of this book was so rich that he couldn't put it down.

“It’s a good book.”

Yurong smiled again: "Because I was in such a hurry, I didn't have time to sew clothes for you. If you are happy, just tell me."

She had never been a bride in her life.

Wei Xuanning looked at her slender white fingers, as soft as jade, and thought, "It's not good to do needlework with such hands, right?" But he also knew that the bride had to show her craftsmanship, so he said, "These things are up to you."

"Yeah." Yurong is not like Yulian who always shows her virtue at all times. Even when Li Xun had a favorite concubine in his previous life, he still came to her again and again. This shows that it is not enough for a man to be virtuous alone.

If she really made twelve sets of clothes by herself, she wouldn't even want to use her hands. When she saw Wei Xuanning said to look at her, her smile deepened a little...

After returning from Yang's house, Old Madam Wei asked with a smile, "How was it? You said you were bored last time, how about this time?"

Wei Xuanning smiled and took out a book and handed it to Old Madam Wei, "With this, I won't be bored anymore."

"Is this Zhang Chang's?" Old Madam Wei was a little surprised. "She actually gave these to you?"

Only this kind of aristocratic family knows that the family's foundation lies in books, and nothing else is as important as these. Since the Yang family was able to obtain Zhang Chang's collection of books and hid it, they must have kept it for their own use...

But it wouldn't sound good to say it out loud, after all, this is Yang Yurong's ex-husband's house.

Wei Xuanning explained: "I heard that Zhang Chang wanted to use Yang Zhao's relationship to return the old things to the clan members. He thought the books were too heavy, so he kept the books and sent all the gold and silver treasures back, letting the Zhang family members to take them. The Zhang family members fought for the money and got hurt. They also asked Yang Zhao to do justice and gave all the books to Yang Zhao. Yang Zhao was ready to throw them all away, but Miss Yang kept them."

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Old Madam Wei still felt a little ashamed.

Wei Xuanning said: "What's wrong with this?"

"The Yang family won't say anything, right?" Old Madam Wei was still worried.

Wei Xuanning said unhappily, "You're just eating my free meal. I was neither humble nor overbearing when I accepted it."

Madam Wei laughed and scolded: "You are too shameless."

She pointed at Wei Xuanning and said, "If outsiders knew that you are thick-skinned and evil-hearted, they would never praise you as the peerless master of the world. I blush when I hear them praise you like that."

Wei Xuanning spread his hands and thought, it is also his ability to eat free food.
