Chapter 168: Power! The Changning Wang Clan's Heritage (Part 4)
"Emperor, Emperor Xiu... Dao Tea!" Shen Jinyu was utterly shaken within.
In this world, there are extremely few teas that can truly be called "Dao Tea". Even just a few tea leaves can sell for exorbitant prices.
Not to mention that he, Shen Jinyu, never drank it, even the Purple Abode Old Ancestor of his family had never tasted it.
"Oh~ Today, the little lady is really going all out." Qian Xuean also chuckled more and more like a Maitreya, "I've been here so many times and never got to drink Dao Tea, but thanks to Xiangwen and Jinyu's influence."
"This is all due to brother-in-law's influence." Shen Jinyu hurriedly and modestly complimented.
At that moment, the brother-in-law whom he once felt slightly disdainful of suddenly seemed much more prestigious.
To be honest, this marriage of his sister seemed extremely absurd in his eyes, and Shen Jinyu was extremely opposed to it. However, this was the decision of the family Old Ancestor, and his opposition was of no use.
However, even with his ineffective opposition, when his sister Shen Xiangwen truly married Qian Xuean, Shen Jinyu felt extreme discomfort with Qian Xuean, only maintaining superficial politeness.
Until today, he finally felt that this brother-in-law, Qian Xuean, might not be as simple as he imagined. No, it should be said that this Wang family was far from as simple as he previously thought.
"Wife, have a piece of this Purple Glutinous Thousand Layer Cake. Its primary ingredients are Sacred Spirit Purple Glutinous Rice milled into rice flour and Level Seven Spirit Bee Royal Honey." Qian Xuean picked up a piece of cake and offered it to his wife Shen Xiangwen, "Even a Great Emperor of a nation cannot enjoy such ingredients daily."
"Thank you, dear husband." Shen Xiangwen blushed and took a bite, immediately experiencing an unparalleled flavor as the energy surged through her body.
Undoubtedly, this was also the first time in her life she tasted such a cake.
"Why thank me? It's your face that got us this, you should be thanked." Qian Xuean also ate a piece of cake, smiling happily, "You don't know, Yurou that girl is known as 'Iron Abacus,' always so stingy."
"Uncle An, you're badmouthing me behind my back, I won't let that slide~"
A mellifluous female voice suddenly came from outside the waterside pavilion.
As the voice sounded, a graceful silhouette appeared on the path outside the waterside pavilion.
It was a voluptuous beautiful woman.
Her cloud-like black hair was styled into an exquisite bun, revealing a small oval face, looking very round and amiable.
Accompanied by two maids, she walked gracefully, her golden-red long dress swayed slightly with her steps, exuding an indescribable nobility and elegance.
This beautiful woman was naturally the young lady of the Wang family, Qian Yurou.
Shen Xiangwen and Shen Jinyu hurriedly stood up, appearing somewhat reserved.
"Grandma Wen, Young Master Shen, you are elders and honorable guests, please sit." Qian Yurou greeted the three generously, saying, "By rights, on the wedding day of Grandma Wen and Uncle An, I should have personally gone to congratulate you, but I was too overwhelmed with family affairs and couldn't get away, so I had to entrust the younger generation to extend my congratulations."
"Now, instead, I've troubled Grandpa and Grandma to come see me personally, I am terrified and guilty, I beg your forgiveness."
"Yurou, girl, no need to be formal with me. Now that Xiangwen has married me, this old man, we're naturally family." Qian Xuean chuckled, "Who sees who is just the same."
"Uncle An is right, we're all family, no need for formalities." Qian Yurou invited the three, her tone familiar and dear, "Grandma Wen, Young Master Shen, please don't be overly polite or reserved."
Upon hearing this, the Shen siblings felt much more at ease internally.
But it's not true to say they weren't reserved, the overpowering confidence of this young lady of the Wang family was truly overwhelming, even their family Old Ancestor couldn't compare.
It's understandable, this young lady's status was indeed too noble.
Her husband was Wang Shizhao, known as the "Little Master," undoubtedly the future Prime Minister of the Daqian Court.
Her son, Wang Anye, was also extraordinary, marrying two commandery princesses of the Imperial Household, one of whom was Emperor Zi'an's biological daughter. It was said that both commandery princesses had cultivated to the Purple Abode Realm, and the court was already preparing to confer them as Da Qian princesses in advance.
Even more outrageously, her grandson Wang Fugui and granddaughter Wang Jidie were mentioned in previous conversations by Qian Xuean; Wang Fugui had caught the eye of a Little Princess of the Immortal Dynasty and was likely to become a Princess Mansion Head of the Immortal Dynasty in the future.
And Wang Jidie had already been conferred as a "non-hereditary princess" by the Da Qian Court, with the title "Hua Rui," of immense prestige.
With so many halos gathered on one person, how noble must this young lady be?
Fortunately, she was very approachable, her demeanor was also very friendly and sincere, and after chatting for a while, the Shen siblings gradually felt more at ease.
After a long while, Qian Yurou spoke again: "Uncle An, Grandma Wen, and Young Master Shen. Since it's rare for you to visit the Wang family, don't rush back, stay longer if you can. I've already arranged for a courtyard. Tonight, I'll also invite some family members to accompany us and have a small banquet to welcome you."
"No need to rush about welcoming banquets." Qian Xuean waved his hand with a smile, "Actually, the reason we came to see you today, Yurou, is because there's an important matter I need your help with."
"I thought so, Uncle An, you're now the big busy man and God of Wealth of our Qian Family, no way you'd climb the Treasure Palace with no business." Qian Yurou laughed, "If there's something, Uncle, just say it, if I can help, I'll definitely not refuse; if I can't help, I'll tell you honestly."
