Chapter 164 -163: Visiting the Families of the Group Members

So many carriages from wealthy families, along with guards following, definitely pointed to a noble lady and her children visiting their village.

With such a grand number of people, what could possibly pique their curiosity or make them willing to come to this mountain village?

The only thing in the village that might spark people’s curiosity was the wood factory, and another place, the Ye family’s estate.

Seeing that these luxurious carriages did not stop at the wood factory, everyone else guessed the other possibility was the Ye family’s estate.

If it weren’t for more important matters they were waiting on, they would certainly have been curious to follow and see whose family attracted so many wealthy visitors.

The wood factory’s housekeeper stealthily looked outside, seeing these luxurious carriages coming down the road, he thought they were the visiting group, so he quickly had someone open the factory gates, ready to greet them at the entrance.

The wood factory’s staff also peeked outside from time to time. Seeing the gates open, they assumed it was the visiting group.

But they realized the luxurious carriages did not even stop and continued towards the village.

The wood factory’s management paused for a moment, wasn’t it said they were coming for a visit?

Then he remembered, these were family members, thus when the Government Official spoke of the parents coming for a visit, it must have been the County Magistrate, and those waiting at the village entrance did not follow these families.

Realizing this, the wood factory’s management did not intercept the luxurious carriages.

Although he was the wood factory’s manager and was sent by the Tang family, he knew the Tang family’s luxurious carriage was also among this group of families.

He dared not offend these distinguished guests, as the punishment he could receive was not something the owner could safeguard him from.

Meng Zhaojun looked out from the carriage window for a moment, noticing that the wood factory was still bustling, it seemed the Ye family’s timber business was doing well.

Her own imitations had only captured a small part of the market and were not as efficient in sales as the Tang family. Compared to them, her wood factory was truly just a minor endeavor.

The earnings from more than a year of imitation even surpassed the revenue from her mother’s two bridal shops.

She had only received a small share of the profits, but she felt that the outcome was quite decent.

Meng Zhaojun thought of a nurturing plan that required not only commitment on Tang Shunyan’s part but also capability to manage an elaborate dowry in the future.

Meng Ruixiang, serious about his studies, was oblivious to the grand opening in Bushen Village and his sister’s imitation business.

“Mother, has there been a factory opened here?”

“Yes, it has been over a year, I believe? I heard it’s a joint venture initiated by Tang Jia,” Mrs. Meng glanced at her daughter, keeping her secret and avoiding the truth with her son.

“Oh, it seems I really can’t just bury myself in books. Mother, could we perhaps visit on our way back?”

“Xiang’er, your father brought a visiting group here, and our trip is solely to the estate. With so many of us, it’s not proper to visit the wood factory,” Mrs. Meng thought.

Mrs. Meng felt that since she wore embroidered shoes, had it not been for this arranged visit and her decision to wear leather shoes specially, stepping in mud and entering the dirty wood factory would definitely be inappropriate.

For this trip, everyone was prepared with proper footwear, either wooden or leather, ensuring no one was foolish enough to wear embroidered shoes, though maybe some wore cloth shoes, as long as they didn’t affect walking.

From the carriage window, Madam Tang glanced at the wood factory, noticing from the entrance that the factory was doing well.

Lady Tang was visiting this place for the first time, and she had no desire to come to a rural area.

Seeing the wood factory, reputed for over a year, she felt it was nothing special; why then had her husband mentioned that the profits were quite high.

The noble ladies of the county had heard that the Tang Family had partnered with Bushen Village to operate a wood factory, selling very expensive carvings. Even these noble ladies purchased wooden sculptures from the Silver Tower to take back home, which were bought with sincere intentions.

New county had always been a holy Buddhist site since ancient times, where wealthy families would establish family temples.

Even the poor villages in the mountains would build temples at certain geomantically significant spots on the mountains.

Other members of the Tang Family, including Tang Xiyue and his mother, also arrived by horse-drawn carriage.

The wood factory was said to be a Tang Family industry, and every year, each member of the Tang Family would receive a portion of the profits.

Of course, they didn’t receive as much as the head of the family did, but they still received a monthly salary, ensuring that even those not in management positions could live without worry about food and clothing.

With such a grand display, the people of Bushen Village made way for the entering carriages.

With such a large-scale entry of so many people into the village, the villagers wouldn’t think they were visiting their own homes, nor did the other wealthy have the confidence that these affluent families were visiting their homes.

Indeed, the numerous carriages and mounted riders headed straight for the Ye’s Mansion.

This time, the family members who came to visit had no intention of visiting the Ye family. Instead, they headed towards the location of the Ye’s Mansion.

Someone informed the Ye Family members, and moreover, the village chief had received a message from the Government Official last night, who notified the Ye family this morning. The entire Ye family, young and old, had an early breakfast and then headed to the mansion.

The Ye family members had been waiting for a long time, and the first to arrive weren’t the men’s visiting group, but rather so many carriages, which they deduced must be the family members.

Hongji and Mrs. Li held a child each, Hongji holding the youngest son and Mrs. Li holding the fifth daughter.

Behind them followed four more female children, and also Ye Shuzhen who hadn’t slept in today as she heard that her future husband was also visiting and had specifically come to meet him.

Hongji’s father and Mrs. Lai were also present today. Mrs. Lai, usually quite lazy, dressed in their finest clothes and wore their best jewelry to greet the distinguished guests, just to catch a glimpse of the local officials.

In front of the Mountain Villa, a long road was lined with parked carriages and horses. They didn’t stop in the middle but made way along the side to allow passage for people.

The family members alighted from the carriages, and the guards dismounted from their horses.

The drivers looked after the carriages while the guards tied the horses to one side, specifically going to the Ye’s Mansion area to fetch some fresh grass for the horses to feed on.

“Wet nurse…elder sister, younger sister.”

Tang Shunyan was helped down from the carriage and ran towards the Ye family members. Even though Mrs. Li hadn’t been a wet nurse for a year, Tang Shunyan hadn’t changed his way of addressing her.

Lady Tang had once corrected him, but Tang Shunyan told his mother that once a wet nurse, she would always be a wet nurse to him, just like a mother, forever holding a place in his heart.

And what could the young madam say? If her son made such an analogy, how could she disagree without implying something negative about herself?

The children who were with Tang Shunyan also alighted from the carriages, laughing and running over, followed by the other family members.

Meng Zhaojun was helped down from the carriage, observing the estate and also taking a look at Ye Shiqi, whom Hongji was holding.

This girl, younger than her, with a metaphorical “Golden Finger”, was her greatest rival.

Today’s visit to the mansion was partly for investigation and partly to uncover the secrets of Ye Shiqi.

Meng Ruixiang, like a little adult, followed Meng Zhaojun closely, constantly observing the Ye family members, his eyes already glancing toward the mansion, having seen the fruit trees on the mountain from the carriage window.

Sure enough, they were as red as lychees.
