The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 528 Wang Erlang's Talent
The Jiang family never expected that their sincere visit would be met with a barrage of criticism from the Wang family's old lady.

They originally thought that even if the Wang family had grievances, they would still have to keep a straight face.

Who doesn't say a few words of insincerity and feigned affection?

Not to mention their families, even the current ruling family often has to hold their noses when they speak.

Why doesn't it work with the Wang family?

As expected of someone from a poor family, he is crude and vulgar!

The Jiang family left a gift and slunk away.

The marriage arrangement for Miss Jiang, which I originally intended to discuss, will have to be postponed for the time being.

Even if they were not satisfied with this marriage, they still had to make it happen.

Who made Miss Jiang admit in public that her reputation was damaged?

If she didn't marry into the Wang family, her only way out was to become a nun.

How could I bear to part with my daughter whom I've raised so delicately!
So, the group left indignantly, and naturally told their story when they got home.

The eldest wife of the Jiang family was especially angry and went back to tell her husband about it.

The Jiang family can be considered a century-old family, and some of its members have served as officials in the imperial court, though the highest rank they have reached is only the sixth rank.

"The Wang family is really arrogant, saying that Prince Lang will become a fourth-rank official in the future. It's utterly ridiculous!" Madam Jiang's chest heaved with anger, and her tone became unusually sharp and sarcastic. "That's not all. They insist that our people injured him, and if he doesn't become a high-ranking official in the future, won't he blame us?!" She thought her husband would agree with her, but unexpectedly, after pondering for a few moments and thinking about Prince Lang, the head of the Jiang family suddenly shook his head.

“Madam, you are mistaken. I do not know the other sons of the Wang family, but I have met the second son, Wang Zilang, once.”

"Husband, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Prince Lang really has great abilities?" Madam Jiang had never met Prince Lang, but she knew from a simple inquiry that he came from a rural village and his family had some money, but they were still from a poor family.

Even if he's just a scholar, so what?
In their prefectural city, there are plenty of teenagers who have passed the imperial examinations!
The head of the Jiang family sighed, "Last spring, the prefect hosted a banquet, inviting scholars and candidates to compose poems. Prince Lang did not participate. Later, for some reason, he was forced to attend the banquet, and people mocked him for lacking real talent and stealing the invitation. He was not angry, but just smiled and composed three poems on the spot: one about spring, one praising the banquet, and one thanking his family."

Madam Jiang asked curiously, "Is there a reason behind this poem?"

"I was hoping to discern something from the poem, but there were several high-ranking officials present. After listening, they saw the other students looking bewildered and began to laugh. Upon inquiry, they learned that the three poems were of superior quality in terms of metrical technique and diction. The most ingenious part was that he had subtly used several allusions to satirize those students who had challenged him, yet those self-important students failed to notice. This shows that this young man is highly learned, of excellent character, and not one to suffer in silence. If he enters officialdom in the future, even if he doesn't start as a top-ranking scholar, he will surely have a place in the Hall of Supreme Peace!"

Taiping Hall is where Emperor Minghua now gathers talented people. It is not open on ordinary days, only for virtuous ministers.

No one other than a fourth-rank official is allowed to enter.

Madam Jiang gasped, "Then... has our child really ruined someone's future?!"

Moreover, judging from the old lady of the Wang family's expression, even if she doesn't pursue the matter any further, she still won't agree to the marriage.

"No rush, I'll go and ask Grandma what she thinks about this." The head of the Jiang family gave a calm smile.

The great-grandmother of the Jiang family was a legendary figure. In the eyes of her children and grandchildren, there was no family matter that she couldn't handle.
