After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 30: Xie Family Happy
"Xue San, you will go to Wanping County with the caravan tomorrow. Gou'er said last night..."

In the dark house, Ji Yunzhang was holding a small paper tube in his hand, which was the carrier pigeon that Gouer had received last night.

"Xue San?"

Xue Jinghe leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the door.

Ji Yunzhang raised his voice slightly, "Xue Jinghe."

Xue Jinghe came back to his senses and pinched his brow bone with his hand, "Well, let's go to Wanping. I'll ask Uncle Peng to set off later."

After a moment, he regained his composure and asked, "What are we going to Wanping for?"

Ji Yunzhang leaned back and said, "I'll ask Jin Er to go tomorrow. Don't come over for the time being."

Xue Jinghe didn't understand.

Ji Yunzhang stared at him dimly, "Xue San, this matter cannot be missed."

Just when Xue Jinghe was about to say something, there was a knock on the door, and everyone in the room tensed up.

The dog at the door poked its head in and said, "Master Xue, your followers are here."

"He, he said..." Gou'er carefully glanced at the reactions of the people in the room, "He asked me to tell you that Miss Ruan took people to Yinhua Tower."

Xue Jinghe's eyes changed slightly, and he left with big strides.

Ji Yunzhang looked at his hurriedly leaving back, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, "Gou'er, do you know the servant who came here?"

The dog shook his head, "I haven't seen it."

"Tell Cong Chong'er and Uncle Donkey to clear out this place immediately. Don't go out through the front door, use the secret passage to go to the house in the west city."

The dog scratched his head, not understanding why he had to move away so suddenly, "Oh, okay."

After taking two steps, he remembered that there was another person here, "Where is the woman in the room?"

"Knock her out and take her away."

"Yes."

Ji Yunzhang twisted the small paper tube in his hand, his dark eyes twinkling slightly, "I will go to Wanping in person, you can go and let Lord Tang know tomorrow."

"Also, don't tell Mr. Xue San about that for now."

Dog: "Yes."

Finally, Gou'er came up to Ji Yunzhang with a flattering smile on his face.

"Third Master, take the dog with you. The other day the nobleman saw the dog and praised it."

Ji Yunzhang tilted his head to look at him, "My Lord? When did you see my Lord?"

The dog raised his head and said, "The day before yesterday, the nobleman went to the Shenji Camp. The dog specially placed a bowl at the door and said auspicious words when the nobleman came out. The nobleman said that the dog was smart and rewarded him with a piece of gold!"

Ji Yunzhang, "..."

He patted Gou'er's forehead and said, "Don't make trouble. Also, don't go to the Shenji Camp in the future. If you mess up, be careful that Lord Tang will peel off your skin."

The dog shrank its neck and hung its head, looking exactly like an abandoned puppy.

Ji Yunzhang glanced at his dog-like appearance and said, "When you can beat Wei Chi, I will take you with me."

Hearing this, the dog drooped even more, "I, I can choose the lucky star..."

Brother Wei can blow his dog's head off with one hand, but Jixing can still fight one or two alone!
Ji Xing, who was watching Chen Chun practicing martial arts with a smile on his face at the martial arts field in the backyard of the Marquis's mansion, was caught off guard and sneezed loudly.

This made Wei Chi glance at him, and he immediately covered his mouth and had to hold back his sneeze.

Ji Yunzhang, "...if you say anything more, go and switch with Chong'er."

The dog pursed its lips wisely and ran away dejectedly.

Ji Yunzhang laughed. Gou'er and Chong'er were two little beggars he met when he was young. At that time, they were still studying at Qishan Academy outside the city. He was knocked unconscious by Liu Qiwei in the town at the foot of the mountain.

Just then, Gou'er and Chong'er passed by and saved him. They used the few copper coins they had begged to buy him some medicine.

Gou'er looked like a fawning puppy, hoping to get more reward money from him, but Chong'er was a bit like Wei Chi, in that although his face was dark, he didn't talk much.

Later, the two beggars have been following him until now, and Chong'er was introduced to Lord Tang by Wei Chi himself.

Haitang took the invitation and walked into the inner room, where the young lady was curled up on the couch reading a book.

"Young Madam, thank you for the letter from the residence."

Rong Peilan put down the book in her hand and looked at the post in Haitang's hand.

She and Xie Shuning were at loggerheads, but the Xie family still sent her invitations. It was not known whether they were too generous or they thought she was still the same easy-to-bully orphan.

"The steward who delivered the invitation said that the young lady had lived in the Xie family for six years and was married from the Xie family. She is still a daughter of the Xie family. Now that the daughter of the Xie family is getting married, it is the most appropriate for the young lady to go."

Rong Peilan closed the invitation and got off the couch. "It's hard to refuse such a kind invitation. My aunt asked me to accompany my cousin to prepare for the wedding. How can I refuse as a niece?"

Early the next morning, the carriage had already been harnessed in the stable, and Haitang directed two servants to carry a small box onto the carriage.

The Xinling Marquis Mansion is in the west city, while the Xie Mansion is in the south city. They are not close, but not far either.

It just so happens that I haven't seen Kuan'er for a while. Now that she is the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion, Kuan'er's life should be better than before. Those who prefer to cater to others should always consider the status of the Marquis's Mansion.

From the small window of the carriage, one could see the festive atmosphere of the Xie family from afar. Their niece had just been married off in the summer, and their eldest daughter was going to be married in the autumn.

However, these two sons-in-law of the Xie family are incomprehensible to outsiders.

How come my niece got such a good marriage with the Xinling Marquis Mansion, but my own daughter married a man of lower status, a poor scholar? Although Kang Jintang is a newly crowned top scholar, the Kang family's status is no match for the Marquis Mansion.

You can tell which is more important at a glance.

Rong Peilan got off the carriage, and it took the doorman at the gate of Xie's house a while to realize that it was the cousin who had returned.

He couldn't help rubbing his eyes. Is this his cousin?

All the men in the Xie family are at the door, which shows the bride's support and lets the groom know that although his daughter/sister is married, her father and brothers from her mother's family will always be her support.

In ordinary families, especially those with few male members, brothers from the clan would be called upon to help keep things under control.

The Xie family has more sons than daughters. There are only three daughters in the two branches of the Xie family, but seven sons.

Rong Lingkuan also dressed in new clothes and stood with the two brothers of the Xie family.

There were eight men standing in two rows, looking quite imposing.

Rong Lingkuan was feeling bored when he suddenly saw his sister, whom he hadn't seen for almost two months.

Immediately, his face lit up with a smile as bright as a flower, "Sister!"

Rong Peilan naturally saw him as well, and her little face was indeed rounder than before.

She was right. If she was a soft persimmon that could be bullied by others, Kuan Ge'er would be looked down upon by others. Only if she climbed up would those people stop treating him harshly.

"Brother Kuan." She stepped forward and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch the soft hair on his head.

"Hello, Sister Lan." Xie Chengdong from the second room clasped his hands and bowed.

"Hello, second brother." Rong Peilan returned the greeting.

The oldest one, Xie Chengwen, is the same age as Xie Chengdong from the second house. He is still studying and will take part in the imperial examination next year.

The two of them didn't have much interaction with Rong Peilan. She had been in the Xie family for six years, and except for the three brothers from the first wife, she had never spoken a few words to the people from the second wife.
