Chapter 331: Chapter 269 She Will Co Tomorrow_2
He never showed off in front of him, nor did he say in his presence that he was incapable, which made him very fond of the Ye Family’s sisters for their discretion.
Tang Shunyan never revealed what was on his mind, because he knew it wasn’t the right ti to visit the Ye family; he was currently facing ng Zhaojun.
All he could do was suppress his thoughts, wondering if he could visit the Ye family during the New Year.
By that ti, ng Zhaojun would have returned to the Capital City with her family, and he wouldn’t have to deal with anyone clinging to him anymore.
Then the adults started talking about the affairs of the ngs again, as the local official was leaving, and as allies, they should see him off and present gifts.
They also expressed their worries about whether the next official would be difficult to deal with.
Whether he would oppose them, making their business endeavors here a bit challenging.
They also feared the appearance of a corrupt official, where giving too many gifts could be a trap, perhaps yielding no benefits and even implicating them.
With so many factions in the court, as rchants, they were truly fearful of getting entangled in these affairs.
Tang Shunyan listened silently to the adults’ conversation, understanding a little despite his young age; despite the Tang Family’s apparent grandeur, they were very cautious in conducting business.
Imperial rchant, the title sounded nice, but in reality, the items supplied to the court were for free.
Maintaining this storefront was only for the sake of protecting the family’s interests; a lot of effort went into it, and it appeared to be profitable.
A lot of hard work went into it, focusing mainly on keeping the family united, lest an alliance with a woman from outside brought chaos, potentially ruining the entire family.
Their nation prospered in peace, with the Royal Family passing on its legacy from generation to generation, without adversaries or war and chaos.
Of course, there were small countries at the borders, which also offered tributes to the court and sought marital alliances with their Princes and Princesses.
Tang Shunyan heard the adults’ concerns, and as a child, he could listen quietly, while also wondering if their family might face a capricious and willful daughter from the next County Magistrate.
He hoped not to exchange one ng Zhaojun for another little Lady who would give him headaches.
Tang Shunyan was very sensitive to the unknown, never considering that the things he didn’t want to happen would inevitably occur.
After all, as the heir to the wealthiest Tang Family in the county, he couldn’t avoid drawing attention with such a halo around him.
“Grandson, did I hear that Lady ng sent an invitation card?” Madam Tang was listening, occasionally joining in the conversation between the Old Master and his eldest son, when she thought of her silent grandson sitting at the table.
“Yes, she’s coming tomorrow!” Tang Shunyan looked up and saw his grandparents and father all looking at him and honestly responded!
Madam Tang nodded after hearing her grandson and then cautioned Tang Shunyan to not act willfully and upset Lady ng during her visit.
“Grandmother, don’t worry, I won’t see her every day in the future, so I will tolerate her!” Tang Shunyan never lied in front of his grandmother or other family mbers.
“Hmm, my eldest grandson is the most sensible!” Madam Tang said with affirmation.
Tang Shunyan, upon learning that ng Zhaojun was leaving, had not thought of any parting gifts to give.
He felt that the kinds of things this girl liked were so unique that he shouldn’t have to rack his brain over it!
The next day, ng Zhaojun appeared as expected in Tang Shunyan’s courtyard; today, as she looked at this young boy’s yard, she always had the wish to spend ti alone with him.
Her wish was eventually fulfilled; she made a special trip here today while her parents felt they were leaving soon and therefore did not interfere with their daughter’s desires, figuring that the Tangs were not going to be their final in-laws anyway.
Just like them, they were rely passersby; what the scene would be in eight or ten years, no one could predict.
“Tang Shunyan, let’s go outside!”
ng Zhaojun wanted to go out with this boy to any place in the house, to play in the spots that were once off-limits to children.
It was just her way of saying goodbye to this place, and thus she had the thought of acting recklessly.
“ng Zhaojun, where to? It’s so cold outside, just like in the past, staying at ho is so much nicer.”
Tang Shunyan couldn’t grasp what ng Zhaojun was proposing; it wasn’t that he didn’t want to go outside, but that he didn’t want to go out with this young lady in front of him, given her temperant, who knew what trouble she might cause.
Always enduring Lady ng’s temper, the interactions were unequal, with a bit of reluctance.
“Tang Shunyan, why do you dilly-dally? Haven’t you heard that my family will be leaving here soon? I will be gone soon, and later, when you want to accompany , I won’t have the ti to pay attention to you. You should cherish every minute and second!”
