Chapter 760 - 680, Grew Crooked_1
The honorific archway conferred by the Emperor exerts its influence imperceptibly and silently. In any case, from this moment on, the Yan Family had entered the view of certain officials and aristocratic families.
The two hundred thousand dan of medicinal herbs were personally collected by Wu Jingyi, and it was Yan Zhigao who handed them over to him.
"Brother Yan, your family is truly benevolent and righteous!"
After inspecting the herbs and finding all of them of excellent quality, Wu Jingyi was so pleased that he started calling Yan Zhigao his brother.
Yan Zhigao was very happy about this.
Having come up in the world late, the Yan Family was quite lacking in connections. Establishing a good relationship with a first-rank official was seen as a great thing.

After sending off Wu Jingyi, Yan Zhigao returned to the backyard and saw Madam Li looking at invitation cards. He asked with a smile, "With such a big celebration in our family, isn’t Taohua going to come back and have a look?"
Madam Li put down the cards. Ever since they had been granted the honorific archway, she had been receiving invitation cards every day and could not even finish reading them all. Hearing her husband mention their daughter, she said with amusement, "That girl is much calmer than us. She says she’s busy with important matters right now and doesn’t have time."
Yan Zhigao asked curiously, "What could she be busy with at this time?"
