Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Since the Senluo Chamber of Commerce was the top chamber of commerce in Northern Liang, they could not hide the news of Lu Yan’s marriage bestowment. After a day, the news of his marriage had spread throughout most of the capital—especially amongst the upper-class circles. It almost seemed as if there was not anyone who did not know about it.
For example, in the Songhe Inn, several noble children had come to eat and drink. They gathered and even started gossiping about this matter.
“Have you heard about that thing with the Lu family?”
“Ah, are you talking about Lu Yan’s marriage bestowment?”
“What else is there besides that?”
Several people exchanged glances to ascertain that everyone understood.
However, there were still some who were completely unaware of the matter.
They asked dumbly, “What? Who’s been bestowed with marriage?”
“It’s the Lu family’s young master of the next generation, Lu Yan.”
“No way Lu Yan was actually bestowed with marriage. The Senluo Chamber of Commerce is the biggest chamber of commerce in Northern Liang. Here I thought Lu Yan would definitely end up marrying the most gifted female talent in the capital, Wen Chuji. Who would have thought he would be bestowed with marriage!”
More people who did not know of this matter came over, asking.
“You guys are talking about marriage bestowment? So, which rich young lady has Lu Yan been bestowed to?”
Everyone looked bewildered.
This was because they did not really know the specifics of whom he had been bestowed marriage to.
“I haven’t heard of anyone in the capital saying that their daughter was bestowed to the Lu family.”
“How is that possible?”
How was it possible that none of the noble children here knew? Everyone immediately looked at each other.
Suddenly, a busybody appeared.
“I actually have some connections.”
“Spit it out.”
“My grandfather’s third niece’s sixth cousin’s cousin works as a second-class maid for the Lu family and heard some rumors.”
“Get to the point.”
Was this not all nonsense?
“Don’t be so hasty now. The point is, I heard that it wasn’t some rich young lady who’s going to marry into the Lu family—but a young woman from a village.”
There was a surprised uproar when that was said.
“What? No way, how is that possible? The wealthiest man in Northern Liang is getting married to a village girl? This is absolute nonsense.”
It must be a joke, right?
“It’s completely true. I too heard this. It seems that she is from Qingzhou City. What’s her name?”
“I can’t remember.”
Everyone was still a little confused about the situation.
However, after puzzling together the clues from a few people.
Everyone was sure that the person who was bestowed to Lu Yan was truly a little woman from the countryside.
“Just what is the background of that girl from the village? Why would the empress bestow her to the Lu family? Hold on—the important point is, has the Lu family actually accepted it?” Considering their power as the top chamber of commerce in Northern Liang, it should be very easy for them to refuse this marriage bestowment.
“Nope, they not only accepted it, but I heard that the entire residence is now happily preparing for the marriage.”
As soon as this was said, the atmosphere became serious.
Everyone in Songhe Inn could not sit still when they heard it.
Was the Lu family so happy that they have already begun planning the marriage?
This… had to be a complete joke, right?
Everyone was once again stunned for quite a while.
“What is going on? Does this mean Lu Yan himself has agreed to it?”
Given how much the current head of the Lu family loved that young master, there was no reason for him to forcibly marry him off.
However, a collective thought dawned upon everyone. “The empress bestowed the marriage—even if you don’t agree, what can you do?”
Some people felt sorry for him after getting in on the gossip.
“Ah, I’m really going crazy. Young Master Lu has been keeping himself chaste for so many years.. I honestly believed that he would end up marrying Wen Chuji, the most gifted female talent in the capital, or Jiang Liluo, the lady of the Jiang family. Who would have thought that he would marry a country girl?”
