Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

"Of course it's true, Lord of Records just said it himself, we all heard it!"

"Do Lord Wu Zheng's family have marriageable young ladies?"

"I know this, there are two young ladies of marrying age in Marquis Jing'an Mansion, one is the eldest daughter of the main branch, who is eighteen this year but has not yet been engaged, and the other is the eldest daughter of the second branch, who has not yet reached the age of Ji."

"The eldest daughter of the main branch must be Miss Wanqing, forget about it, stop dreaming!"

"Brother Lin, why is that?" A handsome young man asked curiously.

Lin Junqian shook the long sword in his hand, looked around at his fellow students, and chuckled, "Miss Wanqing is only eighteen this year, but she is already a Postnatal Martial Artist, how could you mediocre talents ever match up?"

"Eighteen and already a Postnatal Martial Artist!" The crowd exclaimed.

"The youngest Postnatal Martial Artist in our Martial Arts Pavilion seems to be Guo Ziqiao, right?"

"Guo Ziqiao also only broke into the Postnatal Realm nearly at the age of twenty, far behind Miss Wanqing!"

"This~~"

The crowd fell into silence.

Then someone else asked, "Who among the young masters in the Capital City could match up to Miss Wanqing!"

"Difficult, difficult, difficult!" Lin Junqian sighed regretfully, "In terms of Martial Arts talent, within the Capital City, the young masters and misses from Marquis Jing'an Mansion are almost unmatched!"

Although Marquis Jing'an Mansion has kept a low profile in the Capital City in recent years, people like Yang Chengye and Yang Chengmao rarely socialize outside, but still many people know that the young members of the Yang family are martial artists with exceptional talents.

In other families, becoming a Martial Artist at fifteen is considered a genius, but in the Yang family, it's not out of the ordinary to become a Martial Artist at fifteen. If one hasn't become a Martial Artist by fifteen, that would be the real oddity.

"That's not necessarily the case, even if they can't match in Martial Arts talent, they could match in other aspects, the Marquis Jing'an Mansion is not the topmost noble in the Capital City!" Someone said this.

Some people's eyes lit up in the crowd, right, while few could match the martial prowess of Miss Yang, when it comes to family background, there are many noble scions present whose origins are no less than that of Marquis Jing'an Mansion.

Some people had already started to plan, while others were preparing to take action.

Neither Yang Zhenshan nor Jiang He realized that a casual remark had brought a lot of excitement to the Yang family.

At that moment, Yang Zhenshan was flipping through the archives of various disciples in the Martial Arts Pavilion Repository, having selected a few that seemed not too bad to take home.

"Come, what do you think of these young men?"

Upon returning to the mansion, Yang Zhenshan immediately found Yu Qingyi and placed a stack of archives in front of her.

"What's this?" Yu Qingyi picked up an archive and flipped through it.

"The young talents of the Martial Arts Pavilion, all of whom are yet to marry," said Yang Zhenshan.

Yu Qingyi looked through the files, "The Li Feihe of Marquis Hai Ning's household? That won't do, I've heard he is a concubine's son."

"A concubine's son is still a son, it's the person that matters!" Yang Zhenshan said.

"A concubine's son has a low status in the family, if Wanqing marries him, she will definitely be mistreated!" Yu Qingyi gave him a glare.

Yang Zhenshan thought it over, "Then let's not consider him!"

One may not strictly adhere to family backgrounds, but one cannot let one's granddaughter be mistreated after marriage.

"A disciple from the Wuzhen Taoist Palace? Isn't marriage forbidden in Wuzhen Taoist Palace?" Yu Qingyi picked up another file, asking with confusion.

Yang Zhenshan was taken aback, "Ah, I forgot!"

Yu Qingyi gave him another glare, "Guo Ziqiao, the second young master of Marquis Wuding's household, my Lord, Marquis Wuding is in Yunling Town, do you want to marry Wanqing off to Yunling Town?"

Another glare was cast at Yang Zhenshan, who started to scratch his head in frustration.

Marrying off to a distant place was out of the question. Once married off, they might not be seen for many years. No, that wouldn't do.

"The Wang family of Sangzhou, this is a family of scholars, too many rules, Wanqing's nature could never tolerate such restrictions!" Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhenshan lowered his head, his face full of dismay.

Damn it, all of these he deemed fine, yet not one of them suited.

Good looks, talent, personality—they were all fine, but the reasons Yu Qingyi gave were also valid.

"So difficult!" Yang Zhenshan felt troubled.

Before, when the descendants of the Yang family were getting married, Yang Zhenshan never found it difficult, but now that his granddaughter was looking for the right young man, suddenly it seemed so hard.

This one's not suitable, that one's not suitable either.
