Chapter 443: Symbol of Status
Zeng Fan came to serve tea to Master Fan. Seeing the long-lost smile on his face, she couldn't help but ask, "Master, what are you so happy about?"
Mr. Fan stopped laughing and said, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about."
Zeng Fanshi said, "Just now a matchmaker came with someone. The person works as a clerk in the government office. What do you think of this marriage, Master?"
Mr. Fan said with a sullen face, "There's no need to rush Yanran's marriage."
Zeng Fanshi thought her daughter was already quite old, and the Fan family was no longer as prestigious as it once was, so finding a good marriage would be difficult. If she delayed any longer, her daughter would truly become an old maid.
But looking at Mr. Fan's long face, she opened her mouth but didn't dare to say anything. She just lowered her head and walked out of the study.
After Zeng Fan left, Mr. Fan read the message again and then called Fan Yanran in.
Master Fan looked at him gravely and said, "I want to send you back to the capital. Are you willing?"
Although Xie Xin did not show off, due to his current status, every move he made in the mansion was closely watched.
Wen Jianjia had an accident, Changsun had been sent to work in the mines, and a large number of servants had been replaced in the mansion. Many people knew about this.
Ever since Fan Yanran learned about Wen Jianjia's accident, she has been feeling uneasy.
At this moment, when she heard her father say that he would send her back to the capital, her face turned pale and she said with tears in her eyes, "Father..."
"This is not a bad thing." Mr. Fan talked about the arrangement of sending her back to Beijing.
Although the Fan family is now in decline, Mr. Fan is a resourceful man. After realizing that he had chosen the wrong side and missed out on the fame and fortune, he quickly made adjustments. He deployed in many ways and collected a lot of information for himself.
Combining this information with the information he got from Changsun, he decided to start with Su.
Even if the daughter cannot become a concubine in the end, winning the favor of the empress dowager can still benefit the Fan family.
After hearing this, Fan Yanran immediately relaxed.
Rather than marrying a small clerk, she would rather take a gamble. Even if she loses and falls into the abyss, she is not afraid.

Jiang Tangtang slept until the afternoon.
After waking up, I saw the marks on my body and thought about the absurdity of last night, and my face suddenly felt like it was on fire.
What a petty-minded man.
She won't dare to argue again next time.
When she was picking out clothes, she wanted to grab him and beat him up.
The weather has been getting warmer recently, and she could have worn beautiful spring clothes. However, because the dog went crazy and bit her last night, her body is now covered with marks. She can only pick out a high-necked dress and wrap herself tightly.
Thinking that she had been sleeping until now and had not left the space, her face turned black again. Fortunately, although she slept until noon, she had already asked Lu Shiyan to take the little ones out of the space in the morning.
Otherwise, if a family of five disappeared for a whole morning, who knows what would happen!
Jiang Tangtang came down from the kitchen after washing up and saw a sticky note. She couldn't help but sigh at his energy. After a long night and such a rush this morning, he actually prepared breakfast for her in advance.
And it’s quite rich.
After Jiang Tangtang finished her breakfast and put the dishes in the dishwasher, she wanted to try to find the hidden formation in the space, but thinking about the accumulated official business, she decided to wait until she had some free time.
After she heard about Li Yun's incident at the textile workshop yesterday, she planned to arrange for someone to investigate what happened that year.
However, he didn't expect to encounter Wen Jianjia's plan on his way back, and after being delayed again, he forgot to ask someone to do this.
After leaving the space, she first recruited people to investigate the matter.
Like Jiang Tangtang, Mu Yufeng also slept until noon.
He tossed and turned in bed all night last night and couldn't fall asleep.
His mind was full of the image of that woman.
Even though they had only met once, he felt as if he had known her for a long time. He even imagined her acting like a spoiled child.
He couldn't help but wonder how her marriage with General Xie was going. When he saw her again, how should he talk to her...
The more I thought about him, the more excited I became, and the more I couldn't sleep.
It was almost dawn when he fell into a deep sleep because he could not bear the physical fatigue.
But as soon as he fell asleep, he began to dream again.
When he got up at noon, he looked a little listless.
"Master, did you not sleep well last night?" Dalin looked at his prince and asked worriedly.
Mu Yufeng waved his hand and asked, "Is there any news?"
Dalin shook his head, "Not yet."
Seeing the disappointed expression on his prince's face, he endured it again and again, but couldn't help but said: "But Master, I have already found out the whole story."
He told the story of how Xie Xin dealt with Changsun's mother and daughter and the servants in the house, as well as the rumor that came out of the general's mansion, that Xie Xin had sworn in front of the servants last night that he would never take a concubine and would only marry Lu Zhixi.
"That General Xie handled that tactless woman with swift and decisive actions. He was also a key general who accompanied His Majesty in conquering the world, and he even vowed never to take a concubine... I'm afraid this marriage won't be easily abandoned."
The implication is that it's okay to just play around, but it's better not to get emotionally involved.
Mu Yufeng's face turned bad, and he gave him a cold look. "Am I too easy to talk to recently? Is that why you have developed such an indulgent personality?"
Dalin quickly knelt on the ground and apologized repeatedly.
"Okay, get up!" Mu Yufeng said, "Prepare some gifts. I'm going to visit the princess."
"Yes!" Dalin said respectfully, his head buried in the ground.
Far across the ocean in the Dayao Kingdom, Mu Yuchong is busy preparing for the Daming trip.
As the emperor of a country, Mu Yuchong is related to the lifeblood of the entire country, so his travel is naturally not as simple as Mu Yufeng's.
In addition to the secret guards who accompanied him to protect him, he also arranged for another army to be prepared for emergencies.
After some preparation, Mu Yuchong finally set out from Dayao with his men at the end of March.
It's spring again, and villagers from all over the country have started a new round of spring plowing.
The only exception is the villagers of Ahu Town.
Recently, the glass workshop at the foot of the mountain has doubled in size and recruited a large number of workers.
The workers in Liulifang had high monthly wages and good treatment, so many farmers who originally worked on the land went to Liulifang to apply for jobs and became workers there.
Although colored glaze has only been on the market for a short time, it has already become another favorite among merchants.
In order to maximize profits, some merchants even sold glass abroad in exchange for more money and food.
Even though the colored glass was sold at a sky-high price, orders still poured into the colored glass workshop like snowflakes.
Even though the glass workshop has expanded several times and is producing day and night, the glass is still in short supply and the price has doubled.
Nowadays, whether or not a family has any glassware has become a status symbol for many wealthy families.
