The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 774

Chapter 774: Chapter 692, Taking Over_1

After receiving the imperial edict, the Yan Family began to pack up their belongings, only waiting for Yan Zhigao to hand over duties to the new Magistrate of Ningmen Prefecture before the whole family would set off for Beijing.

This year was both joyful and busy for the Yan Family.

Upon hearing the news that the Yan Family would be going to Beijing, their well-acquainted neighbors paid visits to offer congratulations one after another.

On the 7th day of the first lunar month, the elderly couple from the Su Family also visited the Yan Family.

With no other choice, since the Yan Family was heading to Beijing and Yan Wenkai was still at the Northern Frontier and had not yet returned, they needed to take the initiative to discuss the marriage of their children and to settle on a wedding date as soon as possible.

After all, a girl couldn’t afford to delay like a boy could.

Naturally, they also harbored some minor worries, fearing that once the Yan Family arrived in Beijing and encountered more outstanding daughters from aristocratic families, they might reconsider the engagement.

Madam Li knew the purpose of their visit, as the compatibility between her son and Su Shiyu had already been assessed, and she had consulted others to pick an auspicious date. As soon as Madam Su arrived, Madam Li presented several dates calculated by the monks at the temple for Madam Su to choose from.

Seeing the proactive approach of the Yan Family, Madam Su’s smile grew much broader.

After some discussion between the two families, they finally settled on a date.

Madam Su, with her heart finally at ease after setting the date, then began to talk about other matters, "When I entered your home just now, did I see that you’ve already packed up your belongings?"

Madam Li smiled and shook her head, "Not so quickly. It’s not easy with so many elderly and children at home. What you saw was Wenxiu and his wife’s luggage; Wenxiu is planning to attend this year’s imperial examination, and my husband has asked him to go to Beijing earlier to also tidy up our residence there."

Madam Su nodded and praised, "Wenxiu is very knowledgeable; he is sure to place on the honor roll this time."

A broad smile spread across Madam Li’s face, "Then, I’ll take your auspicious words."

Yan Wenxiu and his wife left after the 15th day of the first lunar month, while the rest of the Yan Family planned to depart at the end of the lunar month, after Yan Zhigao had finished the handover with the new Magistrate.

The day before their departure, the second branch of the family hurried over.

"Big brother, you’re going to Beijing, and you didn’t even say a word to us. Have you stopped considering me your brother?" Yan Zhiyuan looked at Yan Zhigao with a face full of hurt as soon as he arrived.

Yan Zhigao didn’t know what to say to Yan Zhiyuan at that moment.

Seeing the difficulty faced by the eldest, Old Madam Yan took the initiative to speak, "It was I who told your big brother not to tell you."

Yan Zhiyuan was taken aback and said glumly, "Mother, you don’t need your son anymore?"

Old Madam Yan huffed, "No one said they didn’t need you, but don’t forget why we had you return to the old family home before."

Yan Zhiyuan quickly assured, "Mother, big brother, sister-in-law, I swear I won’t dare to be reckless again in the future."

Old Madam Yan sighed, "Second son, our family has already divided our household. I know what you’re thinking. You feel left out because the third son is following your elder brother but leaving you behind, right?"

"I’ll make it clear to you today. It’s not because of your elder brother that the third son’s family is going to Beijing. Wentao has earned merits at the Northern Frontier, and once the army returns to court, he will receive his rewards. At that time, the third son’s family will also have to move out."

"Beijing is not like other places; without real capability, one simply cannot establish a foothold there. Once your family goes there, now tell me, how will you make a living?"

Yan Zhiyuan pursed his lips and said nothing.

Old Madam Yan turned to Yan Wenjie, "Wenjie, listen to your grandmother. Take your parents back to the old home, study hard, and as long as you achieve academic success, won’t your uncle and brothers still support you?"

"Even if you went to Beijing with us now, what could you do? It would be better to stay in the old home, where at least there are fewer distractions, allowing you to focus on your studies. Don’t you think?"
