Chapter 1216: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1216: The Man Named Tang Wenqian
Xiao Shi cooperatively asked, "Oh? Who is Gu Mamma talking about?"
"He is someone from the same village as Township Lord Lu, Tang Wenqian, the scholar," Gu Mamma said with a smile.
Shu Yu was taken aback. Tang Wenqian? She truly didn't expect that.
She had only seen Tang Wenqian once after returning from the southwest. It was because of the dispute between Tang Wenqian's mother and Liang Shi about to her exile, and Tang Wenqian felt guilty about it.
Later, he wrote her an apology letter, and after she returned, he formally apologized to her again.
Shu Yu didn't hold any grudges against him for that matter, but they didn't have any close relationship either.
However, she occasionally heard Liang Shi sarcastically mentioning that because of the exile incident, Tang Wenqian caught the attention of the county official and became highly valued at the county office for his knowledge.
Shu Yu knew that his future prospects were not limited to this. With Xiang Weinan as his guide, it wouldn't be so difficult for a person like Tang Wenqian, a rural son, to climb up when the Fifth Prince ascended the throne.
But all of this had nothing to do with her. She only treated these court affairs as fleeting rumors that she overheard.
Who would have thought that Xiao Shi and Gu Mamma would want to pair her up with Tang Wenqian.
Shu Yu found it a bit funny. This time, she didn't say anything and let them carry on their act. She would respond after they finished their performance.
After all, no matter how much she said, Shu Yu would pretend not to hear it.

However, instead of refuting, Shu Yu's silence gave Xiao Shi and Gu Mamma hope.
Gu Mamma smiled and said, "Mr. Tang is talented and accomplished at such a young age, already being a successful scholar. What's more, his character is commendable, praised by our esteemed lord himself. Most importantly, he knows village Lord Lu inside out, and the elders of the Lu family must be well acquainted with his virtues."
Xiao Shi nodded in agreement, "Indeed, I have met Mr. Tang twice, and each time he was courteous and handsome. Besides, he is already a successful scholar. Even in the capital city, few aristocratic families who educate scholars can match his achievements. It is certain that Mr. Tang's future prospects are bright."
Shu Yu silently acknowledged this point.
But she still didn't speak, which made Gu Mamma and Xiao Shi somewhat uncertain.
Gu Mamma asked, "village Lord, what do you think? If possible, I can go and inquire about Mr. Tang's thoughts."
Actually, there was no need. A few days ago, Gu Mamma ran into Tang Wenqian's mother at the county office while visiting her son, and she had already asked about her thoughts.
Tang Wenqian's mother had mixed feelings about it. She used to look down on the Lu family and felt that the second young lady of the Lu family was too aggressive and unsuitable to be a virtuous wife and mother. She had once despised her.
Later, when she learned that Shu Yu had been exiled, she felt relieved. However, because of Shu Yu, the entire Lu family had to move to the southwest, which made her feel somewhat guilty. As a result, her sense of relief did not last long.
Following that, Shu Yu returned, holding the position of village Lord.
At that time, Tang Wenqian's mother couldn't help but feel a little tempted. After all, Lu Shuyu was a village Lord, a prestigious status in Jiangyuan County that few could compare to.
However, she didn't express her feelings and kept them to herself, until the day of the housewarming banquet.
Tang Wenqian's mother learned that Shu Yu not only held the position of village Lord but also had a very powerful background. She was curious about the high-ranking officials in the capital city, so she asked Tang Wenqian for more information. After Tang Wenqian explained the details, Tang Wenqian's mother was utterly astonished.
She realized that if she could establish a relationship with the influential person, Lord Qi, her son's future prospects would be boundlessly bright.
