save the bachelors

Chapter 4731 [Grandma Liu]

"Okay, let the grandfather and grandson come in and sit down first. I'll go tell my wife." Xiang Nan nodded immediately after hearing this.

The doorman was quite surprised when he heard this.

Liu was just a poor woman who came to the Jia Mansion to beg for money. As the saying goes, the emperor also has three poor relatives, not to mention the two lords in the Jia Mansion.

There were eight branches of the Jia family in the capital, not to mention relatives, friends, classmates, and the same year, and so on. There were even more people involved.

Therefore, there were always people coming to the Jia Mansion to ask for money, and he couldn't handle them all. As a doorman, he had to see countless such people all day long.

Normally, a poor woman like Liu would be given a meal and a few melons and dates and sent away. Why would she need to go back to the madam?

"Second Master, this is just a poor woman, just send her away, why bother the Madam?" The concierge said with a smile. He thought Xiang Nan was young and inexperienced, and he should be kind when he saw the poor, so he reminded him.

"What do you know!" Xiang Nan glared at him, "Just do whatever I tell you to do!"

He knew that these two were Granny Liu and her grandson, and that they came to the Jia Mansion to collect money. However, he did not despise them, but welcomed them.

On the one hand, Granny Liu has a sense of shame and is not the kind of person who will not stop asking for benefits and is greedy. She only came to the Jia Mansion three times, and only the first time was because she was in a difficult situation and came to ask for some money. The other two times were not for money.

On the one hand, Granny Liu was a man of love and righteousness. After the Jia family fell into decline, she spent all her family wealth to save Qiaojie from the pit of fire. This one thing alone has accumulated great merit.

Therefore Xiang Nan was willing to help her.

"Yes, Second Master is right." The doorman hurriedly said with a smile, then called the Liu family's grandparents and grandchildren to the doorman's room, asked them to sit down and have a rest, brewed tea, brought snacks, and entertained the two of them.

"How dare I accept this? How dare I accept this?" Granny Liu was flattered for a moment.

She came to the Jia Mansion today to beg for money, and heard that Zhou Rui's family had been punished by the Jia Mansion for corruption. She thought her plan had failed and she was destined to return empty-handed.

But she also held on to the thought of just in case, so she waited at the door, hoping that Mrs. Wang might go out. Then she would risk her dignity to go and meet her, and maybe they could get in touch again.

But it was not so easy for Mrs. Wang to go out, so the grandparents and grandchildren waited at the door for a long time but never saw her.

She had originally planned to go back, but unexpectedly she was called to the concierge and served snacks and tea, which made her a little overjoyed for a moment.

"You are lucky today. Our Master Bao saw you. Our Master Bao has always been kind-hearted and sympathetic to the elderly and the poor." The doorman said with a smile.

"It's the boy just now. He has a good-looking appearance." Liu Laolao said in surprise.

"Not only is he good-looking, he's also very resourceful." The concierge said with a smile, "Anyway, you're lucky today~"

"Amitabha!" Granny Liu kept chanting Buddha's name.

……

Xiang Nan returned to Mrs. Wang. At this time, Wang Ziteng's wife was also about to leave.

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng were seeing them off.

After Xiang Nan paid his respects, he saw his aunt off and then told Mrs. Wang about Granny Liu's visit.

When Mrs. Wang heard about Granny Liu, she was stunned at first, but then she remembered that there was such a person.

It turned out that the grandfather of Liu Laolao's son-in-law Wang Gou'er was a minor official in Beijing. Because they both had the surname "Wang", Wang Gou'er became a nephew of Wang Madam's father and they kept in close contact. Later, after the old generation died, Wang Gou'er's family business declined and he moved out of the city, so they kept in touch less and less. Now they had not been in contact for several years, so Wang Madam had forgotten about him for a while.

Now that Xiang Nan had mentioned it, he remembered it again.

"It turned out to be her. I had forgotten about it." Mrs. Wang nodded.

"Madam, who is that person?" Wang Xifeng asked in confusion.

Mrs. Wang then told her the story of Granny Liu.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng curled her lips and said, "I thought she was some important person, but it turns out she is just a woman who is begging for money. Brother Bao is really surprised by what he has seen. There will be a few people like her in our house every day. It is worth telling Madam."

"Sister, I don't care about ordinary people who ask for money, but this one is different." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "This Granny Liu is destined to be with you."

"Is it destined for me?" Wang Xifeng was quite curious when she heard it.

"I can see past lives and future lives, the cycle of cause and effect." Xiang Nan explained, "In another world, you helped her, so she remembered this favor.

Later, your family fell into poverty and your biological daughter was sold. It was Granny Liu who spent all her wealth to redeem your child, so she and you have a destiny.

"So that's how it is." Wang Xifeng understood immediately after hearing it, and then she was deeply moved.

"In that case, Feng girl, you should treat her well and give her some silver." Mrs. Wang reminded.

Wang Xifeng nodded immediately.

Afterwards, she sent someone to invite Aunt Liu and her grandchildren to her home, and treated them well with a feast of fish and meat. Finally, she gave them fifty taels of silver to get through the winter.

Granny Liu thought that she would be left with nothing this time. Unexpectedly, she not only had a good meal, but also got fifty taels of silver. She was very grateful.

……

On the other side, Xiang Nan was chatting with Mrs. Wang.

It was learned that Wang Ziteng's wife came this time to find out what Mrs. Wang was willing to do to marry Yuanchun into the palace.

In fact, there was no need to inquire about this. If a daughter of a family could be chosen as the queen, it would be an honor for the whole family and clan.

Moreover, the emperor's order is hard to disobey. No family can object to whichever girl the emperor wants.

But the key is that Xiang Nan is too powerful, even the emperor is very afraid of him, fearing that if he accidentally angers him, his throne will be lost. Therefore, even if he wants to make Yuanchun the queen, he has to test the Jia family's attitude first.

"Sister, you finally got out of the palace, you shouldn't go back in." Xiang Nan said to Madam Wang, "It's better to find someone you like, even if his family background is not so good. The key is that your sister won't be wronged."

"I think so too." Madam Wang nodded. "In our current situation, we don't need to cling to anyone else, so we don't need to consider family background too much. The most important thing is that the person is good, has good character, and is compatible with us. That would be the best."

Generally, the aristocracy would marry for the purpose of expanding their power, so they paid attention to matching the families of equal status, marrying off daughters from high-ranking families and marrying wives from low-ranking families, so they attached great importance to unmarried daughters.

But the Jia family is now half of the imperial court, the highest position among the ministers, if they continue to expand, they may directly become the emperor. Therefore, there is no need to consider family background, the key is still the people.

If a man has good character, good personality, and good knowledge, it doesn't matter if his family background is average. So she agreed with Xiang Nan's words.
