Wan Ge stayed for a few days, and she couldn't reveal her secret while at Zi Shu's residence, so she hasn't shown her ears and tail recently.
As for where to stay, Wan Ge lived in the courtyard next to Zi Shu Yan, and the two would only meet during the day.
That's alright, since she wasn't with him in the bamboo house, but in the room next to his.
The main problem is that there are too many restrictions here, and Wan Ge is not used to or likes it.
Zishu Yan clearly sensed this as well, so he planned to take everyone back to the bamboo house. As for his mother's suggestion that they live separately, he didn't give it any thought.
…
Several days passed, and Madam Zishu had also gathered some information. Wan Ge was indeed from Qingzhou, and she had also found out about her brother; they did some business in Qingzhou, but it wasn't very large.
Their fame stemmed primarily from their scholarly family background; their ancestors were renowned literary figures in the area. In such a prosperous era, talented and literary individuals were often respected.
Wan Ge also has beautiful handwriting, something Madam Zishu has witnessed. Her handwriting is elegant yet retains a certain strength and grace.
However, their parents died early, and the older brother started a business to provide a better life for his younger sister. But since he had little experience in business, he didn't have much ambition; he was content with just running a small business and making a decent living.
After receiving this answer, Madam Zishu was instantly much more satisfied, and even thought of Wange and found her more pleasing to the eye.
Although her husband was a wealthy merchant, her father was also a scholar-official, a man of noble character. This inevitably made her more inclined to favor families with a scholarly background.
…
Upon hearing that her son wanted to return to the bamboo house, Lady Zishu, seeing his expression, probably felt that he was unhappy watching over the two of them, so she wanted to go back.
Well, I've never been able to persuade him since he was little. Since he's decided to go back, then let him go back. But since he's going to marry her, he should hurry up and make that decision.
Lady Zishu also wrote a letter to her husband, urging him to return home as soon as possible.
Evening Song could also have Su Yan relay the message and obtain consent, thus confirming the meeting between the two families.
…
Ultimately, they decided that their family would travel to Qingzhou to propose marriage.
Wan Ge stood in an unfamiliar place, relying entirely on the servant beside her for guidance.
The moment Su Yan appeared, Zishu and his wife were stunned. They knew that if their sister was beautiful, their brother must be good-looking too, but it was too much for the brother to be more beautiful than his sister.
This family... they're probably not famous for their literary talent, are they? They're famous for their looks, aren't they? Looking at faces like that, who would care about how well they write poetry or what their literary talent is like?
"Brother?" Wan Ge looked at Su Yan in front of her and felt that something was wrong. This brother in front of her seemed strange.
But it was indeed his brother's aura and appearance, only his hair and eye color had changed to that of a normal person.
"It's been so long since we last met, I was so worried about you, brother. Let's go inside and talk," Su Yan invited them into the house.
Upon entering the mansion, Zishu and his wife took a brief look around. There were quite a few paintings and calligraphy works in the mansion, but they were not the works of those famous masters.
These calligraphic works are all very distinctive, with unique brushstrokes, styles, and character, perhaps inherited from their ancestors. Some of the paintings and calligraphy show signs of age, with the paper turning yellowish.
Su Yan had a pot of fine pre-Qingming tea brewed before they began discussing the marriage between the two families.
