Chapter 1284: Chapter 1282: Visiting the ng Family
Wufu was unaware that soone had co with ‘intentions’ towards her; at this mont, she was entering the ng family.
The ng family was a large clan with an extensive estate in Changan City. Currently residing here was Old Master ng’s main branch of legitimate descendants. Old Master ng was also the current patriarch of the ng family, and beneath him, there were two legitimate sons and a legitimate daughter.
The ng family had a family rule: a man could only take a concubine if he had no children by the age of thirty. However, in the ng family, especially in Old Master ng’s branch, there were indeed no concubines. It was only his brother, who at thirty had not had a child, who took a concubine to continue the family line.
The ng Residence was very large, divided into East and West Mansions. Old Master ng’s main branch lived in the East Mansion. The eldest son, Eldest Master ng, ng Yunhe, was the next head of the family and a renowned scholar of his ti. He married Madam Rong and had three legitimate sons and one legitimate daughter. Second Master ng, ng Yuncheng, married Madam Xie, and had one legitimate son and two legitimate daughters.
In general, the East Mansion of the ng family was quite peaceful. Without concubines, there were no concubine-born children, which reduced intrigue and made life more relaxed for the won.
Wufu’s visit intrigued the ng Family People, curious about what kind of girl had been accepted as the Old Master’s Close Door Disciple, they crowded into Old Lady ng’s main hall to catch a glimpse.
Although she had ntally prepared herself in advance, when Wufu saw the crowd of people, she felt her vision darken and once again felt like she was on a catwalk, becoming the center of attention.
Steadying her heart, Wufu gracefully bowed to Old Lady ng and clearly said, “Wufu pays respects to the Old Madam, wishing you good health and all the best.”
Old Lady ng, who had led a life of comfort and happiness, had a kind expression and warm eyes. From the mont Wufu entered and started her greeting, she was observing her closely.
The young girl, unlike the ladies of the ng family, did not adhere strictly to the standard norms in her every move or gesture. She was gentle yet composed, dignified, and straightforward.
It was said she ca from a modest background with a sowhat poor reputation, yet her etiquette left nothing to be criticized.
“Good child, rise quickly, co over and let
have a look at you.” Old Lady ng beckoned warmly.
Wufu hesitated for a mont, then stepped forward, raising her head.
Old Lady ng took a good look at her face. No wonder she seed so crisp and direct; her appearance did not have the typical softness; her eyes were clear and bright, neither dodging nor flickering.
It is said that eyes are the windows to the soul, and one should first look at a person’s eyes. Old Lady ng, upon seeing Wufu’s bright, starlike eyes, felt a growing affection for her.
“A good child.” Old Lady ng took a present from the tray held by a maid nearby and put it on Wufu. It was a pair of fine Mutton Fat White Jade bracelets. She said, “Your attire is a bit plain; you’re at an age when you should dress up a little more.”
“Yes, Old Madam!” Wufu replied with a smile, curtsying in thanks.
“You are the old man’s Close Door Disciple and also a female disciple. Since you are so young, technically speaking, you should address
as your teacher’s wife.” Old Lady ng patted her hand and said.
People sitting below exchanged glances. This imdiately raised her rank considerably.
Wufu replied with a smile, “Privately, I will naturally call you teacher’s wife. However, I also wish to play with Siyu and the others. If my rank becos so high, they would have to show respect, and it wouldn’t be as fun. Old Madam, please allow
to have a few more playmates of the sa age.”
Old Lady ng was montarily stunned, then burst into laughter, “Silly child, etiquette cannot be neglected. Even if your rank is higher, you can still play together. Alright, Eldest daughter-in-law, take Wufu around to et the family.”
