Chapter 367 A Treasure Brother Fell From the Sky
Gu Zhanghua and Zhao Xuan looked on with suspicion, completely unaware of what had happened.
Yingyang was holding a booklet, but Wu Yulan and Yang Ying were complete strangers. They had certainly never met before today. Why would Wu Yulan recognize the booklet in Yingyang's hand?
Wu Yulan was completely baffled. Just an hour ago, she was explaining the candidates for marriage to Qin Chuyun one by one in this booklet.
She was certain she couldn't be mistaken; on the cover of the booklet in Yang Ying's hand were four characters she had personally written: "Selection of Marriage Partners."
Yingyang was even more confused. He had just picked up the booklet casually; how could this lady recognize it?!
Before Ying Yang could react, Wu Yulan had already stepped forward, snatched the booklet, and became even more certain after examining it carefully.
"That's right, it's this book. This is a collection of unmarried young men from various families that I specially asked a matchmaker to gather when I was choosing a husband for Yun'er. How did it end up in your hands?"
"Yun'er?"
Yingyang frowned when he heard the lady mention Yun'er again, his hands suddenly empty.
"Yun'er is my daughter, Qin Chuyun! I personally gave this booklet to my daughter to bring to the Prince Xian's residence so that the Prince Xian and his wife can give it some advice!"
Wu Yulan held up the booklet and looked at Qin Chuyun with eyes like knives, waiting for Qin Chuyun to give her an explanation.
Awkward, awkward, and so awkward!
Qin Chuyun lowered his head even further, almost burying it in his neck.
She deliberately discarded the booklet, which was picked up by Yang Ying. At the time, she vehemently denied it, but as fate would have it, Yang Ying happened to be an old friend of her sister and brother-in-law, and came to visit them.
Yang Ying hadn't lost the booklet; she carried it with her and was now inexplicably flipping through it!
By sheer coincidence, the young lady also arrived at the Prince Xian's residence and bumped into Yang Ying. She immediately recognized the booklet as the one she had been given for matchmaking!
The slap in the face came so fast that Qin Chuyun was completely caught off guard!
"Please don't take offense, Madam!"
What could Ying Yang not understand at this point?
This girl, nicknamed Yun'er, clearly wanted to avoid this booklet full of men at all costs, which is why she casually discarded it on the road and then refused to admit it when she found it herself.
Now look what's happened; he's been caught red-handed by his own mother, and he can't even deny it anymore.
Yingyang found it amusing, but didn't show it on his face.
"I just asked Miss Yun'er for this booklet to take a look at. As a newcomer, I would like to learn more about the noble young men of Liyang City."
Ying Yang could lie without batting an eye, leaving not only Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua speechless, but even Qin Chuyun looking at Ying Yang with new respect.
Wu Yulan let out a long sigh, flipped through the booklet, looked at the heroic man in front of her, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, a knowing smile appearing on her face.
She closed the booklet and sat back down in her chair.
"Yang Ying, I heard you're from Yancheng. It just so happens that my husband is also stationed there. His name is Qin Shao, and he's a general of the Xia Kingdom. I wonder if you two know each other?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Yang was greatly shocked!
So this lady is actually Qin Shao's wife, and that girl named Qin Chuyun is Qin Shao's daughter?!
Yingyang suppressed his excitement and tried to answer calmly.
"I have met General Qin a few times, and I even had the honor of exchanging a few blows with him. General Qin's martial arts are superb, and I humbly admit defeat!"
This time, Wu Yulan and Qin Chuyun were greatly shocked.
One asked, "You actually fought my father?!"
One person asked, "You're actually an old acquaintance of the general?!"
Then, the mother and daughter took turns asking about Yingyang and Qin Shao's past.
Ying Yang was nine parts truth and one part falsehood. Aside from revealing his identity as the King of Rongdi, he told Qin Shao about his business dealings, their mutual respect, and their impending sworn brotherhood despite their age difference.
Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua listened in stunned silence. If they hadn't already known Ying Yang's background, they would have believed that Yang Ying and Qin Shao had a deep friendship.
After talking for a while, Wu Yulan found Yingyang more and more pleasing to the eye.
Since Qin Chuyun looked down on those young masters in the pamphlet, the man in front of her, although from Yancheng, was a bit far away, it was still better than being unable to get married and waiting to die!
"Yang Ying, if I may ask, how old are you this year?"
She was twenty-two years old.
"Have you ever married?"
"Never."
Do you have someone you love?
"Never."
How many siblings do you have?
"Both my parents have passed away, and I am their only son."
Wu Yulan asked a question, and Ying Yang answered it with one sentence, sitting upright and looking extremely sincere, as if he wanted to rip his heart out for Wu Yulan to see.
Wu Yulan was overjoyed. With her parents gone, Yun'er could take charge of the household after marriage and wouldn't be mistreated by her mother-in-law.
He has no siblings, only one son, so no one will compete with him for the family property in the future, and all the family business will be inherited by this one and only son.
It's like a precious treasure has fallen from the sky!
Looking at his clothes, the crown on his head was inlaid with a piece of mutton fat jade, which was obviously very valuable.
The belt around his waist was made of pieces of jade, luxurious yet elegant.
The brocade robe she wore was woven with gold and silver threads, and it would take the best embroiderers in Liyang City at least a month to make such a robe.
Good looks, money, etc., but one more thing is missing!
"May I ask where you currently work, Young Master Yang?"
"Young lady, why are you asking so many questions? It's getting late, let's go home!"
Even if Qin Chuyun was naive and simple-minded, she could see through Wu Yulan's true intentions at this moment. It was as clear as day, and everyone knew what she was up to!
Looking at Yang Ying is like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. Blind dates are everywhere, and you can easily fall into a trap if you're not careful!
Qin Chuyun blushed as red as an apple, got up, and pulled Wu Yulan away.
"I am here in Liyang for a vacation. When I return to Yancheng, I will have to follow General Qin's orders to see what position I can get."
Ying Yang lowered his posture to an extremely low level, answering Wu Yulan's questions in a seemingly genuine yet insincere manner.
"So you're still my general's subordinate? That's wonderful!"
Wu Yulan broke free from Qin Chuyun's "kidnapping", casually tossed the booklet in her hand onto the table, took two steps forward, and looked up at Ying Yang.
"It seems you'll be staying in Liyang for a while longer. Have you found a place to stay? The General's Mansion has many empty guest rooms, why don't you take a look..."
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but chime in now. She was worried about finding a wife for the Rongdi King, but she wasn't so twisted as to push Qin Chuyun out to Ying Yang as his wife.
Regardless of whether Qin Chuyun is willing or not, he definitely won't be able to get past Qin Shao!
The two fought so many battles back and forth on the northern battlefield. Even if they cherished each other, there would still be some resentment in their hearts. Yingyang might not care, but how could Qin Shao possibly marry his own daughter to a Rongdi tribe?
Are you kidding me? !
"Aunt Lan! Aunt Lan! Don't rush to make arrangements, Brother Ying... has already agreed to stay at our residence temporarily! You don't need to worry about it!"
"That's it!"
As Wu Yulan looked at Ying Yang, she found him more and more pleasing to the eye and more and more endearing.
"Then come visit our General's Mansion in a couple of days. I'll cook whatever you like to eat then!"
"I am deeply grateful for your kindness, Madam!"
Ying Yang immediately gave Wu Yulan another deep bow.
Wu Yulan was overjoyed.
Ever since she became Qin Shao's concubine and was later elevated to the status of his official wife, Qin Shao has always treated her with indifference. Although Qin Chuyun has always called her "little mother" and shown her the respect due to her, there is no intimacy between them as mother and daughter.
Yang Ying, whom she had only met once, made her feel the respect and affection that a junior should have for her.
Wu Yulan couldn't help but say one more thing.
"Little Yang, don't blame me for asking you so many questions, I'm really being driven crazy by the Rongdi King!"
Eagle's eyes suddenly widened to the size of copper bells.
"What do you mean by that, Madam?"
