Chapter 452: Chapter 110 Rising New Phenomenon_4
“Sister Lingyun, look quickly, from this angle, you can see the whole Zhuwei Lake, it’s so beautiful~”
“Sister Lingyun, there are instructions for this bathroom. If you turn this device, water will come out. Hmm, hot water is available all the time. Eh, what is this? This, this, this… it’s even got a toilet… how embarrassing.”
“Oh my, this bed is so soft. Just what kind of heavenly life do the members of the Celestial Wang family lead? This is too blissful!”
Although Wu Lingyun was also quite interested, her mood remained rather low, so she could only reluctantly accompany Chen Yushan to explore around.
“Sister Lingyun, the fourth son of Zongyao really looks good, and he is gentle and elegant. If I could marry him, life would be good.”
Wu Lingyun was surprised: “Yushan, you are just fourteen years old, and you are already thinking about marriage? Besides, you’re the legal daughter of your family, you can marry into another Rank 9 Prominent Family as the primary wife.”
“Primary wife, what’s so great about being a primary wife?” Chen Yushan pouted, “All those major families of Rank 9 are too poor and destitute. Even if I go to be the primary wife, my life wouldn’t be any better. Although the Fourth Son Zongyao is just a direct disciple, but looking at all of Changning, which legitimate son of any major family can compare with him?”
“Before my Grandpa brought me out to see the world, he told me that, except for the fifth son of the Wang family’s direct line, Wang Zong’an, if I liked any unmarried talented young men of the Wang family, I could tell him, and he would find a way to bring us together.” Chen Yushan said without any pretension, “Besides, it’s not a disgrace for a Rank 9 legitimate daughter to marry a Rank 7 direct line member, there are plenty of such cases in various cities and garrisons. My Grandpa said, in the future, the Wang family may not just be limited to Rank 7…”
Each of her words seemed to be stabbing into Wu Lingyun’s heart, like opening a door to a new world for her.
If it were the Fourth Son Zongyao, it seemed to be quite good…
…
While the entire family was busy, Wang Shouzhe, the family head, was no exception.
This time, for the Celestial Banquet, Wang Shouzhe had followed all the usual protocols, and all the Celestial Families in the southern six garrisons had received the invitations one by one. If there were no accidents, they would all send representatives to attend.
Nobody who became a Noble Family Head was a fool, who would unnecessarily offend a newly risen celestial family with good prospects? Unless they were inviting trouble.
Adding them all up, there would be more than a dozen Celestial Families. All these Celestial Families could only be personally received by Wang Shouzhe and Old Ancestor Longyan.
And for the women of these Celestial Families, they had to be entertained by Gongsun Hui, Liu Ruolan, Wang Luomiao, Wang Liyao and other legitimate family members with high enough status.
If they casually asked a junior to entertain the Celestial Family, it would be considered disrespectful, and it would unnecessarily increase animosity on both sides.
In a courtyard exclusively for entertaining guests of the Wang family.
Wang Shouzhe was personally entertaining the representative from the Celestial Lei Family who came to congratulate, Lei Yangyu.
The two were seated opposite each other, sipping Spiritual Tea.
The surrounding area was filled with the aroma of tea, but Lei Yangyu’s face was rather gloomy, occasionally glancing at Wang Shouzhe, as if he had a lot of complaints about him.
“Brother Yangyu, come and have a taste of this crystal spirit persimmon.” Wang Shouzhe welcomed him warmly, “This is one of the specialties of the Academy Changchun Valley. I asked my friends at the academy to keep it fresh with ice, and then had it delivered by a Spirit Bird Flying Carriage day and night. This spirit persimmon…”
Before Wang Shouzhe could finish speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by Lei Yangyu, “Wang Shouzhe, I, Lei Yangyu, consider you as a brother, but you insist on treating me as an elder! In this regard, no, these two matters, you need to give me an explanation, otherwise I, Lei Yangyu, will cut ties with you!”
“Explanation, of course, there needs to be an explanation.” Wang Shouzhe patted his chest loudly, then turned to glare at a handsome young man, “Seventh Brother, since the matter has already happened. You might as well get married to Sister Yanyun sooner and reproduce for the family, thrive, and prosper.”
The young man was Wang Shouye, who had been sent by Wang Shouzhe to learn alchemy. He looked bitter and frustrated: “Fourth Brother, I just want to quietly refine pills. I don’t want to get married.”
“Nonsense!” Wang Shouzhe’s face became stern, “You want to quietly refine pills, but why did you ruin a girl’s reputation?”
“It’s… it’s Yan Yun…”
“Seventh Brother, watch your words.” Wang Shouzhe said solemnly, “No matter what, the situation has reached this point, you just have to accept it. I also know Sister Yanyun, she has a crush on you. Next, we will propose marriage, get married, and then have children.”
Wang Shouye was dejected: “Yes, Fourth Brother.”
“Don’t look like that, adding more members to the family is also a contribution to the family.” Wang Shouzhe patted his shoulder encouragingly, “On this point, you have to learn from your father. In the past few years, he has added another male member to the family.”
Saying this, Wang Shouye’s heart was filled with speechlessness. His father Wang Dinghai was really becoming more and more lively with age.
After having his eighth son Wang Shouming from the “Shou” generation, and his ninth daughter Wang Luoqing from the “Luo” generation, he has added another brother at home a couple of years ago, the ninth “Shou” generation – Wang Shoucheng.
Now, the eldest “Shou” generation, Wang Shouxin, is already sixty-three years old, while the youngest, Wang Shoucheng, is only two years old. The eldest of the “Shi” generation, Wang Shinin, has to call the two-year-old kid “Ninth Grandpa”.
“Yes, Fourth Brother, I’ll try my best.”
Wang Shouye sighed. If fulfilling family duties required it, he could have two kids. But, following his father Wang Dinghai’s footsteps of having five kids over time was asking too much.
“Good, good, good.” Only then did Lei Yangyu feel somewhat relieved, “Even though my Lei Family’s legitimate daughter is marrying into your Wang Family’s direct line, it’s considered marrying down. But my prospective son-in-law is going to be a great Alchemist, so it won’t be a disgrace to my Lei family. Brother Shouzhe, from now on, our Lei and Wang families will be related through marriage.”
Wang Shouzhe silently shot a look at him. You sure changed your attitude quickly.
But, you’ll probably have to change it again soon.
