Chapter 23: The Goodness of a Wife?

Yang Yuqing heard Yang Wenyuan's muttering and came forward.

"Oh, this family, this family just came to Bianjing recently. The old lady in the family was the only daughter of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion. Although the two families have severed their relationship now, the old lady was raised in the palace and was a close friend of Yu Ge Lao's wife, Old Lady Yu, so she still has some status in Bianjing now.

Your aunt plans to invite them once their family is settled, so there is no portrait of their daughter yet, only her name and family background. "

Yang Yuqing scratched his forehead and continued, "Who is the head of the Sheng family? I forgot.

Rank... I forgot my rank, but it was a quiet and quiet place anyway."

Yang Wenyuan said silently, "Sheng Hong?"

Yang Yuqing was stunned and frowned.

"It seems to be this? It sounds familiar, so this should be the name. But how did you know it?"

"He was previously the magistrate of Yangzhou..."

"Oh, that's it."

Yang Yuqing nodded and explained, "Although I asked your aunt to draw the portrait, I still have to avoid suspicion. I haven't seen those portraits. I only heard your aunt briefly introduce them to me. It seems that this family and the Yuan family had some unpleasantness. They wanted to become relatives before, but then it was dropped. In short, it's just a makeshift portrait. It doesn't matter whether you see it or not."

Yang Wenyuan looked at Yang Yuqing and said quietly, "Uncle, did you know that I have been to Yangzhou before?"

"I know. He went there with the second son of the Gu family."

"Then do you know which family the Yuan family married into before?"

Yang Yuqing's face froze, and he said uncertainly: "Could it be the Sheng family?"

"It's the Sheng family."

Yang Wenyuan nodded affirmatively, and then said: "It was me who messed up the marriage."

"you?"

Yang Yuqing's eyes suddenly widened. "Why did you go to Yangzhou to mess up the Yuan family's wedding? No wonder you didn't reply to my letters during that period. I asked you where you were. It turns out that you thought Bianjing was not big enough, so you ran to Yangzhou to make trouble."

Yang Yuqing teased Yang Wenyuan in his words, but did not express any concern about Yang Wenyuan offending the Yuan family.

Although the Pingyang Marquis Mansion suffered a sudden heavy blow, it was just the Yuan family, so it didn't matter if it was offended.

The Yuan family of the Earl of Zhongqin had their title taken away from them before, and it was only restored in recent years.

There are no high-ranking civil servants in the family now.

I still have no connections in the army.

The entire Earl's Mansion is just an empty shell of the earl title and is at the bottom of the noble family. It is not even comparable to the Yongyi Marquis Mansion that has retired to Jinling, not to mention that the Yang family also has Yang Yuqing, the commander of the West Wing.

Now the highest-ranking official in the Yuan family is the deputy herdsman, not even the chief official.

As for the rank of the official...

Wearing a green robe will bring disgrace to the nobles if anyone tells them so!

Yang Yuqing smiled and said, "But you did a good deed. Everyone in Bianjing knows the situation of the Yuan family. Although Yuan Wenshao is a good kid, the head of the Yuan family is notorious for her bad temper and unreasonableness. She is not an easy person to get along with. She is also extremely partial to their eldest son. No good family in Bianjing wants to let their daughters marry into the Yuan family to suffer."

However, the next moment, Yang Yuqing was stunned.

"It's the Sheng family, I want Sheng Hualan!"

Yang Yuqing's face was full of disbelief.

"No, Wenyuan, you don't even know what the daughter of the Sheng family looks like..."

An idea suddenly flashed through Yang Yuqing's mind. "Wait...wait a minute, you went to Yangzhou?"

"Yes."

"Is the marriage between the Sheng family and the Yuan family ruined?"

"Yes."

"The name of the daughter his family is going to marry is Sheng Hualan?"

"Uh-huh!"

Yang Yuqing took a deep breath. No wonder.

No wonder he rarely replied to his letters. It turned out that he had chosen someone and had no time to deal with him as his uncle.

However, Yang Yuqing's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

It’s okay to offend the Yuan family, but could it be that my nephew has some hidden hobby?

He had shown him so many girls before but he didn't like them, but now he suddenly fell in love with a girl who was about to get married...

Could it be that someone has a fetish for married women?

It's okay to have this habit, but now I'm in Bianjing, where high-ranking officials are everywhere...

To be on the safe side, Yang Yuqing pondered for a while and asked tentatively: "Do you still like the daughter of the Sheng family?"

Yang Wenyuan looked puzzled.

"My nephew visited the Sheng family a few days ago, so he naturally liked it."

Yang Yuqing nodded slightly, the possibility decreased a lot, but for the sake of safety, he still asked cautiously: "Wenyuan, what do you think of your aunt... no, Madam Qin from the Guhou family?"

Another inexplicable question, Yang Wenyuan frowned, "Uncle, why are you asking this?"

Could it be that Yang Yuqing, this cheap uncle, is so perceptive that he has already noticed that little Qin is not ordinary?

"I'm asking you, just tell me."

Seeing that Yang Wenyuan avoided the topic, Yang Yuqing frowned even more deeply than he did.

"Although I get along well with Gu Erlang, I have never liked his wife."

"That's good!"

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his nephew, Yang Yuqing clapped his hands in joy, and even wanted to shout to the sky.

My nephew finally got it!

Matchmaking, find someone to be a matchmaker right away.

Tell your wife when you get back!
Yang Wenyuan thought that Yang Yuqing recognized Xiao Qin's true face and was testing his eyesight, so he was overjoyed and danced with joy.

Little did they know that the two were not on the same channel at all.

"The Sheng family is great! The Sheng family is a good family!"

Yang Yuqing had already forgotten what he had just said about the Sheng family being a make-up family. At this moment, he was trying hard to recall what his wife had said and the memories about the Sheng family.

Trying to convince myself that this was a good marriage.

"Well, their family's previous generation was a top scholar in the imperial examination, and this generation is also an official in Beijing. They are a good and upright family, so it's okay."

"Oh, this Sheng Hualan... Hualan's mother's family seems to be the Wang family, and her father is enshrined in the imperial temple. She also has a family background of learning, so her family background is not low, not bad."

"I also heard that they have an old house in Bianjing. It seems that they are a family with plenty of wealth. That's great."

Look at Yang Yuqing pacing in the study, racking his brains to think about the strengths of the Sheng family and trying to abandon the prejudice of family background in his mind.

Yang Wenyuan held his forehead helplessly.

"Uncle, stop shaking me. I'm going to feel dizzy if you keep shaking me. Anyway, I've already chosen the person. You guys can handle the rest."

Yang Wenyuan spread his hands and said, "The faster the marriage is done, the faster the Yang family's incense will continue."

Yang Yuqing thought about it and felt that it made sense.

That's right. Anyway, according to the status of the Yang family, the highest they can go is to the Duke's Mansion or the Royal Palace, but neither of them has women who meet the Yang family's requirements.

You asked the Yang family what their requirements were?
Coming of age!

Married at the age of 15, pregnant after marriage, three babies...

"Just wait, I'll go home and discuss it with your aunt, and I'll also help you with the elders in the clan!"
