After the marriage, I married the most treacherous minister of the dynasty

Looking at the restaurant that was more exquisite and luxurious than the one in the capital, Su Qingwan said admiringly:

"No wonder people say Jiangnan is rich. Today I finally saw it."

Yan Mingjue took a look and said:

"Jiangnan has a lot of tea and cloth, plus there is a port here, so there is no shortage of silver."

Moreover, there is the largest salt field here.

The Governor of Jiangnan has booked the entire restaurant just to entertain Su Qingwan and Yan Mingjue.

As soon as they got off the carriage, prefects from all over the country came to greet them. They were all called by the Governor-General of Jiangnan to accompany them.

Although she had never met these people, Su Qingwan knew their "etiquette".

There were many people today, so seats were divided for men and women. The men went to a private room, while Su Qingwan stayed in another private room with the other female guests.

As soon as she reached the door, an older woman came to greet her.

"Is this Madam Yan? I've heard that Madam Yan is extremely beautiful and a role model for women. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed extraordinary."

The one who spoke was the wife of the Governor-General of Jiangnan, Chen Wang.

"Mrs. Chen, you are too kind."

Su Qingwan quickly stepped forward and held Madam Chen's hand:

"I have heard in the capital that Madam Chen has raised a pair of good children."

"Young Master Chen is a famous talent in Jiangnan, and his talent and learning are widely known in the capital."

"Miss Chen is beautiful and intelligent. I heard that matchmakers are clamoring to visit her."

Everyone likes to hear good words, and Chen Wangshi is no exception, especially when Su Qingwan praises her two children.

Su Qingwan's words made the smile on her face more sincere.

The two sat down together and chatted happily with each other, feeling like they were friends regardless of age.

During the journey, Chen Wangshi introduced her daughter Chen Sisi to Su Qingwan.

"You are of similar age, so you have more in common."

"Mrs. Yan must stay in Suzhou for a few more days to experience the customs of Jiangnan."

Su Qingwan naturally agreed.

She was talking to Chen Wangshi while paying attention to other people's reactions.

The wives of the prefects were all fine. They were all respectful and flattering when facing her and Chen Wangshi.

However, Chen Sisi had been secretly looking at her, and whenever Su Qingwan looked over, she quickly avoided her sight.

Su Qingwan was a little surprised. This Miss Chen was a little different from what she expected.

Yan Mingjue is a favorite of the emperor and is in charge of the Eagle House. He can be said to be in a high position of power.

The Governor-General of Jiangnan was a high-ranking official who held the economic lifeline in his hands.

Both of them wanted to make friends, and Su Qingwan and Chen Wangshi also flattered each other. It can be said that the meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

After dinner, Governor Chen invited them to live in a garden here.

Looking at the luxurious garden, Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows.

Governor Chen said:

"This is the Yan family's garden. Every time we come here, the Yan family and the Qing family will prepare a place to stay first."

"I don't want to disturb you, but I can't refuse your kindness."

“So, every time I come here, I will stay here.”

"This place is not far from the emperor's palace. Living here, we can also admire the elegance of the palace."

Governor Chen's words were flawless. What he meant was that the garden belonged to the Yan family and he was just staying there temporarily.

Moreover, he lived here to be closer to the emperor's palace, which meant he wanted to be closer to the emperor.

As expected, they are all old foxes, Su Qingwan smiled knowingly.

Governor Chen suddenly changed the subject and said:

"Come to think of it, Commander Yan has the same surname as the Yan family!"
