Chapter 850: Gradually

ve already completed the task. If I am killed in this world, why would I still expend my divine power”Ripples this time directly asked.As the tasker, completing the task eliminates the resentment of t...Shēnyán registered the marriage certificate for Liàn Yī and Wēn Zhāo Míng, filed it away neatly, and then left the government registry office.

Facing his old rival Jia Yushui, the latter smiled and said to Shen Yan:

"Shén Lángjūn, this time how were you invited to such a remote and impoverished place I see your complexion is not good, did the matchmaker's fee come up short"

"Hmph! A dog can't spit out ivory. What's wrong with going to a remote village As long as I successfully play the role of a matchmaker, it's fine. Unlike you, who even picky when playing a matchmaker. Are you trying to be a matchmaker for the royal family"

Shen Yan is not intimidated by Jia Yushu. He just entered the industry two years earlier and always flaunts his seniority in front of her. Even people from the official media dislike him.

Besides, this matchmaking was successful, and he received a large sum of money as a reward. Miss Su was very generous. The only regret was that Miss Su did not allow him to spread the word about this successful matchmaking, saying that during her filial piety period, she was afraid it would have a bad influence.

Shen Yan wasn't the first time to be a matchmaker for wealthy families, so he knew the twists and turns within those families. He readily agreed, and upon his return, only said that he had gone to the village to make a match, not revealing anything else. This gave Jia Yushu an opportunity to mock him.

Jia Yushu raised his hand and touched the mole on his chin, feeling that Shen Yan was just being stubborn. Even though he was being countered by the other party, he still smiled and said:

“I’d love to play matchmaker for the royals, but they’d never look my way! I’m just an ordinary person, you see. Even if I were to act as a go-between, I’d need something in return—food and drink at least. You, on the other hand, only care about successful matches, regardless of personal gain. In that respect, I’m no match for you.”

"Humph! Hypocrisy!"

Shen Yan flung her sleeve and left.

After Jia Yusheng and the others left, he entered the official media hall, greeted a few acquaintances, then went to the archives room to secretly check who Shen Yan's matchmaking target was this time. The result shocked him; it was Miss Su from the Su family who had left the county almost a year ago. Her betrothed was surprisingly a farmer.

After reading it, Jia Yushu immediately turned and left the official media hall. This was a huge scoop, he had to share it with someone.

On the other side, the ripples are unaware that trouble is about to come knocking. She is currently cultivating a relationship with her future husband, mainly by sharing tea and wine together. Also, during enlightenment periods, Mingge'er accompanies her sister to class, which gives her a great sense of accomplishment.

The ripples are very clear, that in the near future, the original body will rise higher and higher, and the surrounding environment will become more and more complex. Therefore, if Wen Zhaoming wants to match up with the other party, there will be more things to learn.

So she has already asked the housekeeper to find a suitable tutor for him, to systematically guide and educate Wen Zhaoming, ensuring he becomes a qualified ruler.

She herself taught Wen Zhaoming the Four Books and Five Classics. She didn't require him to memorize them all, at least he had to understand the principles and be able to speak eloquently when interacting with others.

After a month of observing Wen Zhaoming, LianYi handed over the ledger from Zhuangzi to him, letting him familiarize himself with it and practice. If there were no problems, he would gradually take over part of Su family's business.

Wen Zhao Ming was a little afraid at first, but under Lian Yi's comfort, he gradually adapted. In order to let his husband study for the exams with peace of mind, he would proactively take on the responsibilities that should be borne by his husband.

After Yueyue arrived at Sujiazhuang, her days became less pleasant. The main reason was that besides studying, she also had to learn martial arts with Aunt Hehua.

Of course, with her current small arms and legs, Lian didn't want to force her growth. The main focus was to lay a solid foundation for the little girl by strengthening her body first. Running, squatting, and boxing were gradually integrated into Yueyue's daily training.

Even Ripples occasionally showed off her sword skills, performing a peacock-opening display to attract Wen Zhaoming's attention and affection, racking up favor points from him. Life was still pretty enjoyable for her.

It seemed like just a blink of an eye, the snow on the ground melted, and the tenant farmers in Sujiacun were all busy. Once the land thawed, they would begin spring plowing. The year's plan relies on spring, this cannot be delayed.

To nurture Wen Zhaoyue and prevent her from becoming a clueless young lady, Lianyi had Su Zhuangtou prepare tools. When the time came, they would take them to the fields.

The next day, An He gasped for breath as she ran to Lian Yi's side, her breaths coming in short gasps. She said:

"Miss, the head of the Su family has arrived."

"Oh What is he doing here"

Ripples raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I don't know, but it looks pretty serious, Miss. Shouldn't you go and greet them"

"I understand. You do what you need to do. When they arrive, lead them into the house, offer them good tea, and tell them I'm in the fields. The rest is up to the chief."

Ripples said nonchalantly.

Yes, miss.

An He finally caught her breath and immediately replied.

Su's chieftain was an elderly woman nearing seventy, her back somewhat stooped, with snow-white hair and a face etched with the passage of time. At this moment, she descended from the carriage with the support of her clansmen.

"Greetings, Chief. This is An He."

An He bowed respectfully.

Where is your young mistress

The young lady was working the fields with people.

"Farming Outrageous! What on earth is a young girl like her farming for She should be at home studying diligently, not wasting her time doing this!"

The Su patriarch, his face etched with wrinkles, said coldly.

"The lady said, in the social hierarchy of scholar, farmer, artisan, and merchant, farmers ranked second. Working the land was not a lowly thing; even the Empress had issued an edict encouraging agricultural pursuits."

Then you go and ask your lady.

The tribal chief frowned and said.

"The chief please come in first, I have already sent someone to invite the young lady."

An He respectfully replied, then invited the chieftain and all the Su family members behind her into the main hall to take their seats. He turned around and brought tea and snacks, finally standing with his hands clasped at his sides waiting for the young mistress's return.

The ripples were actually just a circle around the edge of the field, allowing these people to let go of their tension. Then, they slowly returned with lotus and Cuihua.

Today was also a coincidence, as it happened to be the anniversary of the parents' death for Wen family siblings. The two got up early and took Lao Su's carriage back to Wenjia Village to pay their respects, and they also took the opportunity to tidy up their mother's new grave.

So, for the uninvited head of the Su family, Ripples was not afraid at all. After entering the house, she politely bowed and then found a chair to sit down.

"Chieftain, I didn't know you were visiting today. It is my fault for not greeting you beforehand."

Ripple spoke first.

"It's not your fault, things happened suddenly, so I just came directly."

The chieftain's reverence for ripples was quite beneficial.

"I wonder what important matter could have brought the Labor Chief here in person"

Ripples followed along with the other person's words and asked.

I heard you hired a young man from Wēnjiā village who works for the county media

There's some truth to that, but there's nothing we can do about it.

My aunt, taking advantage of the death of her parents, wanted to marry her youngest son to me. When I fainted, she almost made Tang Zi Jun the master of the Su family.

Still, the elders of the Three Tribes and Five Tribes arrived in time to help me through the difficulty. For this, I also donated a few mu of sacrificial fields to the clan."

R ripples said mournfully.

The Su chieftain listened, a flicker passing through his eyes. He then spoke in a mild tone:

"Because of this matter, you hastily set up a young man Why didn't you tell the clan at all, so that we could help find a man who would be helpful to you"d I'll have Yong Cheng apologize with a gift."John Chang gave a few opening remarks, then left with his wife and son.Feng Jiu stared at the three figures' backs, her eyes flickering uncertainly for a...
