The guest monk at the temple came forward to lead Yun Jiao and her group to a quiet courtyard.

This courtyard is the largest and most orderly one in the temple, specially reserved for them.

Yun Jiao sent the little maid outside to wait for the family to arrive.

The guest monk served fragrant tea and fruits and then withdrew.

The maids watched several children playing in the courtyard.

Only then did Yun Jiao ask Mrs. Chen, "What is the situation with this family?"

Mrs. Chen laughed and said: "I’ve heard that the Zhang Family owns several thousand mu of land in the countryside and has bought several shops in Xiang City in recent years, but they don’t do business themselves, only rent them out for income."

"They also don’t reside in the city, living in the countryside, but it’s not far, only about half a day’s journey from here."

"Mainly, it’s because Young Master Zhang is promising; he just passed the scholar exams, and it’s said he might have a chance to become a jinshi in the spring examinations next year."

Yun Jiao asked, "How old is the child from the Zhang Family?"

Mrs. Chen stretched out her finger to gesture, "Twenty-one years old, six years older than Third Girl."

Yun Jiao thought, this age gap isn’t too large; Jiang Youzhi is also four years older than her.

Mrs. Chen is quite worried about her children’s marriages.

Marrying into a social class that is too high makes her afraid of being looked down upon, and she worries her children might suffer in the future.

Marrying into a social class that is too low is obviously not suitable either.

Sixth Lang has been serving under Lin Shuo in the military for three years now, and this year he was promoted to the rank of seventh-grade colonel; the Jiang Family can now be considered an official family.

Mrs. Chen also has a thousand mu of land given to her by Jiang Youzhi, and the family’s income now relies on renting out the farmland.

Mrs. Chen is meticulous in managing her household, and after several years, has saved up a considerable amount of silver, all for Sixth Lang and Third Girl’s marriages.

Just as Yun Jiao was thinking, the little maid came in from outside to announce, "The Zhang Family has arrived."

Mrs. Chen quickly stood up.

Yun Jiao was originally not obligated to stand up, as she now holds a first-class noble title.

However, to express respect to the future in-laws of Third Girl, Yun Jiao still rose.

As she stood up, she glanced at Third Girl.

Third Girl was lowering her head, her face slightly red.

Yingzi’s eyes were twinkling as she looked out the door.

A thought flashed in Yun Jiao’s mind but then was swiftly dismissed.

Next, she saw several women enter.

The woman in the middle appeared to be in her forties, with a prosperous look, and as she entered, she smiled and said, "Oh my, Sister Chen, it’s good to see you today."

The other women didn’t speak, evidently this one was in charge.

Mrs. Chen quickly greeted her.

Yun Jiao only nodded slightly towards this woman, but unexpectedly, the woman kept looking her up and down.

Then, the woman said with some surprise, "Is it Doctor Gu?"

Yun Jiao raised an eyebrow, thinking which past patient of hers is this?

The woman hurriedly introduced herself, "My surname is Liu, and my husband’s family name is Zhang."

"I wonder if Doctor Gu remembers, years ago our family invited you to treat our ninety-nine-year-old old master."

Only then did Yun Jiao remember, Prefect Xu had asked her to check on the ninety-nine-year-old Elder Zhang to ensure he lived to a hundred.

Liu Family laughed, "After you saw him back then, the old master could eat and sleep well, living over a year longer."

"That day when the old master was not doing well, we used the ginseng you provided to sustain him and swiftly rode to Renxin Hall to get you, but heard you had gone to the capital."

"Otherwise, the old master probably could have lasted a while longer."

Yun Jiao smiled at her.

As they were speaking, a young man entered from outside.
