The old lady has always been particular about eating. More than half of the money spent in Chunrong Hall is spent on food. Even an angry Wang would feel much better when she saw a table full of delicious food.

The food was delicious and appetizing. Both generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had two bowls of rice each. After eating, Xin An said goodbye and went back to rest. She had to go to General Xu's house in the afternoon, which was also very exhausting.

As soon as she left, the old lady comforted Wang without waiting for her to speak, "Don't worry about the Wei family's affairs. It's not his turn in the Marquis' Mansion yet. Whatever the Wei family says is what it is."

"Just treat them as guests when they come."

"Did I give you a hard time just now?"

Wang smiled bitterly, "They just said that I, as a stepmother, didn't take good care of the eldest son, and didn't treat them as real relatives. They complained that the yard was not good, the furnishings were not good, the teacups were ordinary, and it didn't have the style of a marquis' mansion."

The old lady frowned slightly, and became more and more displeased with the Wei family.

But whether they liked it or not, the Wei family still stayed there. They washed, ate, and ordered the servants from the Marquis's Mansion who were transferred to serve them around, and were picky about all kinds of things for a long time. It was not until Wei Liang stepped out and scolded Zhang that she shut up. However, she was still not convinced.

"Master, why should you be so cautious? This mansion will belong to our nephew sooner or later. He has half the blood of the Wei family and can't escape. I just can't stand that Wang. A concubine is acting like a marquis' wife. In front of our sister, she is just a concubine."

"okay."

Wei Liangcai saw that she was going too far. "What do you mean by concubine or not? She was brought in by matchmakers, betrothals and sedan chairmen. She is a proper marquis' wife. Put away your airs. What do you think this place is? Without the marquis's mansion, what are you, a fourth-rank official's wife, doing in the capital? Who would care about you?"

After years in officialdom, he had a bad feeling less than half an incense stick after entering the door. Logically speaking, he was the uncle of the prince of the marquis's mansion and should be a distinguished guest. However, he did not feel warmly received. He even felt Wang's impatience, the old lady's perfunctory attitude, and the contempt of his nephew's wife.

"Pack up and let's go meet our nephew."

Zhang had wanted to go there for a long time, and soon the family called a servant to lead the way to Chunhua Courtyard. On the way, they met Xin An who was going out. They saw that she was dressed luxuriously, and her clothes and jewelry were all exquisite and looked expensive. Behind her was a very respectable old woman, and two maids followed behind with boxes in their hands, looking very impressive.

Xin An stopped and greeted them first, "Are you here to see my brother, uncle and aunt?"

Zhang looked her over and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go out."

Xin An smiled and said, "My elder brother and his wife are in Chunhua Courtyard. My elder brother must be very happy to know that my uncle and aunt are here. I think he can't wait to see you. I won't bother you."

Seeing her leading people away again, Zhang turned back to take another look, "I suddenly remembered that the old marquis of this mansion had arranged a marriage for his nephew with a surname of Xin, a salt merchant. Is the one today surnamed Tao?"

Wei Xiang asked the servant who led the way, "Is the surname of the Second Young Master's wife we ​​just met Xin?"

The servant nodded, "The second young master's wife's surname is indeed Xin."

"How did she become the Second Young Master's wife? Wasn't she destined to be with my cousin?"

The servant had no choice but to keep silent. He turned around and led the people to Chunrong Hall. Tang Rong was still taking a bath at this time. He had already taken a bath for the second time. He had used up half of the soap and almost rubbed off a layer of skin. He also washed his hair twice, but still felt that he was not clean.

"Sir, Uncle Wei has arrived and came to see you."

Tang Rong was still soaking in the tub, with a smoking hot towel covering his face. Aunt Liu replied on his behalf, "Please wait, uncle. Just say that the prince is bathing. If you ask, just say that the prince is sweating. Don't say a word that you shouldn't say."

"Please ask the young lady to go over and accompany you first."

The little girl retreated. Tang Rong was not in a hurry to meet his uncle. His mind was full of thoughts on what to say to explain his predicament and how to make his uncle believe that he still had a bright future and could help him.

The Wei family waited for two incense sticks. Tao Yiran went there. Before leaving, he was thinking about how to get rid of the Wei family. Fortunately, his wish came true. As soon as he entered the door and said a word, the maid beside Xueyu came and said that Xueyu had a stomachache and wanted to ask the court doctor to take a look.

It was just a matter of a few words, but Tao Yiran actually went there in person, which made Zhang very dissatisfied. She also complained about Tang Rong. Who would take a bath at this time?

The shelf can be really high.

This wait lasted more than half an hour. After all, Tang Rong had to comb his hair after taking a shower. According to the usual routine, it would take at least half a day, so today he was in a hurry.

Zhang's dissatisfaction had reached its peak before she saw the man, but the moment she saw the man, all her anger disappeared. Tang Rong in front of her still had a faint moisture on his body, his hair had not yet dried and was half tied up and half left, he was wearing a long gown embroidered with green bamboo, and there was a faint blush on his cheeks from the bath. He looked extremely handsome, and just standing there was pleasing to Zhang's eyes.

Wei Xiang and Wei Qing were even more astonished, and felt that their cousin was simply a banished immortal from heaven, so handsome and extraordinary.

"Uncle, aunt."

"Oh, our eldest nephew is really outstanding."

Zhang was full of praise, "He is truly a first-class talent."

With his noble status and good looks, Zhang felt very proud.

"I'm not feeling well. I'm sorry to have kept my uncle, aunt, and cousins ​​waiting for so long."

"It will only take a moment. Not long."

Zhang smiled with yellow teeth. Tang Rong took a step back without leaving a trace. "My uncle and aunt came from afar. I was worried that I couldn't greet them in person. Fortunately, my uncle and aunt were generous and didn't blame me. I feel better now."

"Uncle and aunt, please take a seat."

Tang Rong has his own strengths. If given a chance, he can make people like Zhang feel that he is a child of destiny with a bright future. The key is that he can also say polite words and make Zhang dizzy.

"The Tang family sent a letter earlier saying that the boys and girls in the family have reached the age of marriage and they want to ask my father and grandmother to help find good families for them. I thought that my two cousins ​​are not engaged yet. If we can find a good family in Beijing, it will also help my uncle and even the Wei family."

"Originally I shouldn't have asked for this, but my mother passed away long ago, so I had no choice but to do this inappropriate thing."

These words finally touched Zhang's heart. "It's amazing that you still think of your uncle. Your mother is gone, and the relationship between this mansion and the Wei family has gradually become distant. If you were not here, we might not be able to step into the door of this mansion."

As she spoke, she exaggerated and belittled Wang, "She is not my biological mother. There is a layer of distance between us. She is unreliable."

Tang Rong did not refute. After all, there were some things he wanted to say through his aunt.

"I see that my cousin has grown taller than before. He has finally come to the capital and must take a good look around. Unfortunately, it is inconvenient for me to go out recently. Otherwise, it would be a good idea to introduce some children from noble families to my cousin..."

Tang Tong began to make empty promises, which made Zhang so happy that she thought the bright future of the Wei family was just around the corner and a perfect son-in-law was waiting for her to choose. Even Wei Liangcai felt that with this nephew, the Wei family's future was secure.

As for the sisters Wei Chuanzong and Wei Xiang, they admired Tang Rong extremely. Their words were full of flattery and admiration, which made Tang Rong feel very happy.
