From a freeloader to a world leader

When it was time to sit down to eat, Yue Yunfei solemnly pushed Yue Qingwei to Sun Shan's side, letting them sit shoulder to shoulder, close together like a couple.

This scene was seen by dozens of people in the Yue family.

I knew that the old man treated Sun Shan as his own son-in-law.

Although the grandson was very young, he was very confident. He sat there with a calm expression on his face and greeted all the members of Yue's family who were present.

Moreover, during the banquet, he was extremely respectful and toasted a large round of wine to the elders of Yue's family.

Moreover, when toasting, Yue Qingwei shyly followed Sun Shan, like a new bride, introducing each elder and relative of the family to Sun Shan one by one.

This made everyone understand the importance of this banquet.

During the banquet, Yue Yunfei introduced several people to Sun Shan. One of them was Yue Qingwei's brother Yue Qingyang.

He is thirty-six years old this year and currently serves as a fifth-rank imperial censor in the imperial capital of Yangzhou.

Although his official position was not very high, he held a lot of power.

He could report the news directly to the emperor and report to all civil and military officials.

In addition, he has a pair of twin concubines, who are less than 20 years old and look exactly the same.

Maybe it’s because she just gave birth to a child and is very greedy.

The other is Yue Qingwei's fifth sister Yue Qingmei, who was born from the third room and has the same father as Yue Qingwei but different mothers. She is about fourteen or fifteen years old, which is the time when lotus flowers are just beginning to show their pointed tips.

Very refreshing and pleasant.

Among the others, there is no one who is particularly outstanding. Only Yue Qingfeng, the vice president of Datong Chamber of Commerce, is relatively outstanding.

No wonder Yue Yunfei would promote this illegitimate son to represent the Yue family in participating in the Datong Chamber of Commerce.

Because Yue Yunfei intended to keep Sun Shan in his home so that he could consummate his marriage with his daughter.

Therefore, the banquet lasted for more than half an hour and ended a little early.

Then, led by Qiuyue and Qiuju, Sun Shan walked towards the bridal chamber that had already been prepared.

Yue Qingyang looked at Sun Shan's tall and slender figure, which disappeared at the end of the corridor, and slowly withdrew his gaze.

Looking at his smiling father, he asked hesitantly, "Father, do you think this is appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate?"

Yue Yunfei looked at his most outstanding son and said, "I have basically told you everything about Sun Shan. You should have seen the drastic changes in Hengzhou with your own eyes. Do you think such a person is not worthy of our Yue family's handover?"

"worth."

Yue Qingyang nodded: "The changes in Hengzhou and what Sun Shan did are worth our investment, but we can't change one, such as the fifth sister and the others-----"

When Yue Yunfei found that the discussion was about serious matters, he waved his hand and asked the maids around him to go away.

Only the twin concubines were intentionally kept by Yue Yunfei. They stayed by his side excitedly and served tea and water to the father and son.

"I've also thought about your fifth sister. I even mentioned this to you on the road today------"

As he spoke, Yue Yunfei looked around the twins meaningfully.

This made the twins inexplicably nervous.

There is a bit of tension and a bit of excitement.

In theory, concubines like them who have given birth to children for the Yue family would not be given to other people.

However, not everything is certain.

When it comes to deciding family interests, there is no doubt about it.

There were even cases where someone gave away a concubine who was already pregnant.

In this world, concubines and maids in wealthy families are not much different.

Even if a child is born, he or she is often not valued because of the mother's identity.

Often, they are not much better than the children born to maids.

However, the twins were not unhappy about being given to Sun Shan by their master.

Even, there is a bit of joy.

After all, compared to the already aging Yue Yunfei, Sun Shan is undoubtedly a perfect choice.

But what about the two children?

Yue Yunfei had no idea that this slight glance from him could actually cause ripples in the hearts of his two concubines.

"However, Sun Shan refused, saying that his current priority was studying and that he had to focus on his studies. He also said that he had to achieve something, benefit the people, and protect the people, so that his life on earth would not be in vain."

These words immediately left Yue Qingyang stunned.

No matter whether Sun Shan was just pretending or was sincere.

At least, she refused a marriage that was within her grasp.

You know, as the legitimate daughter of the Yue family, not to mention Sun Shan, a scholar who had just become rich, even in the royal family, there were many sons and grandsons of the dragon who were looking forward to her.

"Haha, this kid has some perseverance, he's a talent!"

Yue Qingyang rarely gave a thumbs up.

This time, he was investigating the civil unrest in Dali Prefecture and observing the people's sentiments along the way in accordance with the emperor's order.

He then met with his father in Hengzhou, who had decided to move his family to Hengzhou, to discuss important family matters face to face.

He had already implicitly known the story of Sun Shan and his third sister from his father's letters.

Therefore, after entering Hengzhou, I observed very carefully.

This observation surprised him greatly.

I have a feeling that Hengzhou is warmer and more comfortable than the imperial capital Yangzhou.

Especially in terms of cityscape, security environment and business atmosphere, they far surpass the vast majority of cities in the country.

Except for the smaller city size and population, in other aspects it has surpassed the previous level state capital.

He had been to Hengzhou several times before, and because his sister married into the Hengwang Mansion, he paid special attention to her.

In his impression, Hengzhou was just an ordinary third-tier city in the empire.

But just like what my father said in the book, in just three or four months, after Sun Shan's powerful transformation, the overall strength has approached and even surpassed the upper-level provincial capital Chuzhou, and has reached the middle of the empire's second-level cities.

If only, the real estate community that Sun Shan planned for his father could be successfully implemented.

I believe that in one or two years, Hengzhou will become a new first-tier city in the empire.

"He is more than just a talent!"

As he spoke, Yue Yunfei laughed and told about the incident between two rickshaws that had not yet collided after Sun Shan got out of school. In just one hour, he formulated a new "Hengzhou Traffic Plan".

In addition, a brand new department – ​​the Transportation Bureau – was created.

After Yue Yunfei explained in detail some traffic rules of the traffic plan, as well as the traffic, urban management, and fire protection functions of the future Transportation Bureau.

Yue Qingyang couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

Then, he clapped his hands vigorously and said, "Father, I support any decision you make! We must keep Sun Shan in our Yue family's hands. This person is just a scholar. When he becomes a talented person, his future will be immeasurable!"

"Ha ha-----"

Seeing his son's face twitching with excitement, Yue Yunfei smiled excitedly: "Although your father has never been in the officialdom, this pair of old eyes has never been wrong!"

As he spoke, he looked towards his daughter's boudoir excitedly: "You say, if he and Qingwei have a baby, will our Yue family and Hengwang family be tied even tighter in the future?"

Yue Yunfei added cunningly, "When the time comes, do you think the child will be the legitimate son of Prince Heng's mansion?"

Hearing his father say this, Yue Qingyang stood up in surprise and looked around nervously.

No one was around.

Only, the twins pretended not to hear.

However, from their heaving chests, it can be seen that the twins are very nervous.

I couldn't help but feel murderous.

Yue Yunfei saw the cold light in his son's eyes and waved his hand.

"Father, this matter is of great importance."

Yue Qingyang wiped the sweat off his forehead: "If you make the slightest mistake, you will regret it forever."

"You don't have to be so nervous. Yuanqing and Keqing have personally agreed to Qingwei and Sunshan's matter."

These words almost made the other three people in the hall scream out.

Then, Yue Yunfei continued to reveal: "Yuan Qing is already tightly tied to Sun Shan. He wants the child born by Sun Shan and Ke Xin to follow him in the future and be raised by him personally so that he can inherit the property of Hengwang Mansion in the future------"

Hearing this, Yue Qingyang stood up again and looked at his father's calm expression.

For a moment, I didn’t know what to say.

"So, today, through Sun Shan, our Yue family is completely tied to Sun Shan. As for the future, it depends on how much surprise Sun Shan can bring us------"
