Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Grandpa Yang was so eager to have a grandson that he couldn't eat or sleep well.

In fact, if he wanted to send someone to investigate, it would not be difficult to find Yang Zian's whereabouts. But he knew very well that he couldn't do that, otherwise he would only push his grandson further away.

The children and grandchildren in the family were all useless, and seeing that the family was on the verge of decline, he placed all his hopes on this grandson.

In order to facilitate his work, Zhongli Hongxuan borrowed his mother's surname, and Zi'an was his courtesy name. Old Master Yang sincerely hoped that his grandson would really change his surname to "Yang" in the future and become the head of their Yang family.

With such thoughts in mind, how could he allow Old Madam Yang to bring his granddaughter and Yang Zian together? He is really a man with little knowledge and is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!

Yang Zian lived comfortably in Xiangxue Village, but Old Madam Yang was almost angry to the point of having a stroke.

With a "clang", the sound of teacups breaking came from Old Madam Yang's room again. The maid in the yard sighed helplessly. It had happened three times today.

If we count from the Chinese New Year, the old lady must have broken at least twenty or thirty things.

Old Master Yang was very calm, as he had long ago passed down the message that except for food and drink, nothing new was allowed to be purchased during the entire first month of the New Year.

If the old woman wants to smash it, let her do so. If it’s all gone, let her add to it from her dowry. If she doesn’t want to, that’s easy to do too. Just make do with it!

It's all a bad habit. If a tiger doesn't show its might, people will think it's a sick cat! Humph!

Just when Old Madam Yang had nothing left to do, Shangguan Lan came to ask for a meeting.

After hearing the servant's report, Old Madam Yang took the last teacup in the room, gently covered the floating tea foam with the tea cover, and asked nonchalantly:

"Who do you think came to see you?"

The maid replied respectfully:

"To answer the old lady's question, it was said to be a young master Shangguan, but I don't know about the rest of the servants."

Shangguan? The Shangguan family in Beijing? !

After reacting, Madam Yang no longer cared about being angry. She supported her maid and walked quickly towards Grandpa Yang's study.

The joy on his face was beyond words.

As he walked, he did not forget to instruct the servants to notify the kitchen to add a few more dishes for lunch.

In the study, when Shangguan Lan heard that Yang Zian had moved out a year ago and his family didn't know what he was doing, she wanted to say goodbye and leave immediately.

Just when he was about to say goodbye, Old Madam Yang came over and said with a smile:

"No wonder I heard the call of magpies so early in the morning. It turns out that a distinguished guest is coming. I wonder which young master of the Shangguan family this is. His noble aura makes me unable to take my eyes away!"

Shangguan Lan was embarrassed by the series of flattery he gave him right away. His father was only a fourth-rank official in the Imperial College, and he himself was a commoner, so how could he be so noble?

Shangguan Lan had no choice but to stand up, waving his hands and saying:

"You are really too kind. I am just a student. I dare not touch anything other than bookishness."

Old Master Yang standing by had a stern expression, his eyes full of disgust. This old woman of his was really getting more and more confused as she aged, she was not even presentable enough!

Don't give the other party a chance to talk anymore, just drive them away directly:

"This kid is here to look for Zi'an. He must have something urgent to tell me since he came all the way here. If you have nothing to do, go back to your own yard. I'll send him away right away."

How could Madam Yang give up such a good opportunity so easily? Since her daughter's death, the Yang family has lost its former glory in Shancang County. If she doesn't plan well, the Yang family will be completely ruined.

She continued in a good-tempered manner:

"Look at you. How can you chase away a distinguished guest? It will be noon soon. I have asked the kitchen to add a few more dishes. Master Shangguan, please stay at home and have a simple meal. In my opinion, you can stay in Zi'an's courtyard. We can send someone to call Zi'an back."

Mr. Yang, who was originally impatient, became a little shaken after hearing this. It must be said that this was a good opportunity to repair the relationship with Zi'an.

After thinking it over carefully, he slowed down his tone and said to Shangguan Lan:

"That makes sense. Otherwise, Master Buguan can have lunch at home and then go to Zi'an's yard to rest. I will send someone to call Zi'an back now."

Shangguan Lan was completely unfamiliar with Shancang County, so she agreed as it would be better to wait until she met Yang Zian.

During this time, Old Madam Yang led the guests to the reception room and asked the maid to serve tea and water. She completely ignored the hints given by Old Man Yang and was determined to stay with them all the time.

She also secretly instructed the servants to ask Yang Wanxiu to dress up nicely and come to the living room to meet the distinguished guest.

The customs of the people in Da'an are relatively open, and the separation between men and women is not that strict. As long as men and women don't do anything private, there's nothing wrong with meeting each other.

Therefore, if we don't delve into the purpose behind this, Madam Yang's behavior is not considered to be beyond the norm.

However, she seemed to have forgotten that Yang Wanxiu was still under house arrest at this time.

Yang Wanxiu also tacitly forgot that she was still under house arrest. When she heard that it was Master Shangguan who came from the capital, she was immediately overjoyed.

The girl's emotions seemed to come and go freely, and she began to fantasize about a beautiful encounter with Mr. Shangguan. As for Yang Zian, she put him aside for the time being.

Shangguan Lan had been praised by her elders for her sweet mouth and her ability to make people happy since she was a child. But now, facing Madam Yang who obviously had some purpose, her smile became a little stiff.

From his age to the details of his family, he even asked about the number of maids in his yard! He was just short of asking about his birth date!

Are all the old ladies in this county town like this? How can they be more eloquent than the matchmaker?!

The more 'Matchmaker Yang' asked, the happier she became. This child was really pleasing to the eye in every way. He was a perfect match made in heaven for their granddaughter!

Just when Mr. Yang couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to slam the table and chase them away, he saw a pink figure coming from a distance.

Yang Wanxiu was wearing a dress that she would only wear in early summer. She moved with graceful movements, her belt fluttering, and her exposed white neck was particularly eye-catching.

It is indeed eye-catching at first glance, but after taking another look, I can't help but ask: Aren't you cold?

Resisting the urge to sneeze, Yang Wanxiu held a plate of snacks in her hand and politely bowed to Old Master Yang and the old lady. She then turned to Shangguan Lan and bowed shyly before speaking:

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Master Shangguan. The kitchen still has two more dishes to prepare before we can start eating. I'll bring you a plate of snacks to fill your stomach."

Because she had been holding it in, she stopped sneezing, but she couldn't hold back her tears and snot. After she finished speaking, she quickly wiped her tears and snot with a handkerchief, looking funny and ridiculous.

Old Master Yang looked at his granddaughter's exposed neck, which was very glaring. Although her monthly allowance was cut off, her food and clothing were not short of money, right? How come she didn't even have a decent piece of clothing?

After seeing this "freezingly beautiful" Miss Yang, Shangguan Lan was left with nothing to understand.

He had seen many girls of higher rank than her in the capital, and this Miss Yang was totally not up to his standards.

Looking at Yang Wanxiu opposite him, Shangguan Lan couldn't help but lean back. He was worried that the girl wouldn't be able to hold back and sneeze at him.

Tsk, it’s so dirty just thinking about it!
