Chapter 954 - 952 Completely Forgot
In the main hall, Old Granny Zhang and Yang Zongbao saw the two of them entering, and Old Granny Zhang was the first to ask, "Is everything really okay?"
Wang Yongzhu reassuringly patted Old Granny Zhang’s arm, "Mother, don’t worry! Master said there’s no problem, so there shouldn’t be any. Besides, who are we to be people of such standing that the officials in the Capital City would be concerned about us?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zongbao’s eyes flickered twice, and he looked toward Song Chongjin, giving him a meaningful glance.
Song Chongjin understood, "Yongzhu, you accompany mother and have a good chat with her. I’m going to sit in uncle’s room for a while."
Wang Yongzhu and Old Granny Zhang, both being smart people, knew they had things to discuss and tactfully returned to the room.
Wang Yongzhu accompanied Old Granny Zhang back to the room and persuaded her with a couple of more words.
After a long while, Old Granny Zhang finally said, "This officer position hasn’t even been secured, yet there are so many matters. How is it as carefree as our countryside?"
Was Wang Yongzhu hearing a hint of nostalgia for Qilidun in Old Granny Zhang’s words?
"Mother, how about after some time, when Brother Song goes to the Provincial Capital for the autumn examination, I accompany you back to Qilidun for a stay?"
But Old Granny Zhang shook her head vigorously, "No way, you have to accompany Chongjin to the examination. You have no idea, today Sister-in-law Wu came back and told me that Chongjin saved that child, and again showed such an outstanding presence. Countless young ladies and wives on the street have set their eyes on Chongjin."
"I heard they’re all going home to inquire about our family situation to plan proposing a marriage! You’re foolishly planning to let Chongjin go to the Provincial Capital examination alone? The girls in this county are so fierce, the moment they see a pleasant man, they take the initiative to propose. I’ve heard that in the city, there are families that send people to snatch scholars who do well in examinations and make them their son-in-law."
"My son-in-law is handsome, and in the future, if he becomes a successful candidate, how many people would snatch him away? We can’t let anyone take him!" Old Granny Zhang spoke of this with both pride and anger.
