...
With the Wang Family’s fleet of vehicles, one after another entered Weng City.
The sounds of watching and commotion grew louder, especially for so traveling rchants and loose cultivators who had co from afar. While being shocked by the scene before them, they would also spread the Wang Family’s prestigious na.
A noble family must have deterrence, so as to inspire awe and prevent others from casually harboring ill intentions. Firstly, it reduces various unnecessary troubles, and secondly, the bigger the na, the easier it is to gain benefits.
Yet, at the sa ti, while a noble family maintains deterrence, it must also keep people uncertain about its true depth and strength.
To put it simply, it should both establish its power, making people feel that the Wang Family is very formidable, yet also maintain mystery so that people cannot determine just how formidable it truly is.
The subtleties and mysteries within this must be carefully considered and managed.
It is precisely for this reason that, under Wang Shouzhe’s arrangent, the Mountain-Swallowing Python’s head was placed atop the first carriage. And the head of the White-forehead Golden Tiger was "unintentionally," half-revealed from the cabin.
The Water Origin Spirit Turtle carried a large number of prey, leisurely stepping into Weng City, elevating the spectators’ shock to an extre level.
Beyond the shock, there was awe for the Wang Family. Even Tier Three Ferocious Beasts can be captured, the Wang Family’s rise is inevitable.
This is called street parade display, laying the foundation for the Wang Family’s future to dominate Ping’an Town.
What to showcase, what not to showcase, and how to showcase it, were all results of the Wang Family mbers’ careful discussions and considerations, not random acts.
Surrounding people involuntarily praised the Wang Family, while the topic naturally shifted to Wang Shouzhe, speaking of him as the young Clan Leader, promisingly talented, with limitless future prospects.
"Brother!"
Wang Luomiao broke free from her mother’s hand, rushed over excitedly, her little face flushed with pride and admiration for her elder brother.
Those traveling rchants, loose cultivators, representatives of rchant families, and garrison soldiers blocking the way, all actively made way.
That was the Wang Family’s little legitimate daughter—Wang Luomiao, the half-sister of clan leader Wang Shouzhe, with a very noble identity.
She pattered with yet-to-grow short legs, rushed over.
Suddenly, Wang Shouzhe stretched out his arm and scooped her up onto the horse, riding together out of inner Weng City, laughingly asked: "You little one, just a month or so unnoticed and you’ve beco even cuter?"
"Brother, your mouth has beco sweeter." Wang Luomiao said happily with a giggle, "Not in vain did I write to Sister-in-law Ruolan to praise you well."
"Uh... You even wrote to Miss Ruolan?" Wang Shouzhe said with a laugh and tears, "With your scribble-like characters, is it presentable? Does it not instantly expose our Wang Family’s lack of cultural foundation?"
"Wang Shouzhe, you you you, you’re too bullying, I’ll fight you." Wang Luomiao was furious, flailing her arms and legs, "I even helped to humor Sister-in-law, you wooden-headed stubborn thing. Humph humph humph, I originally wanted to show you Sister-in-law’s reply, now hmph, I won’t show you even if you beg."
"I didn’t want to read your girls’ private conversations anyway."
"You you you, next ti I write to Sister Ruolan, I’ll say you’re a big bad big bad."
"Fine by , if I can’t marry a wife, I’ll just trade you, the legitimate daughter, for a bride."
Chasing closely behind, Gongsun Hui listened to this scene, sowhat finding it ridiculous yet sowhat comforted.
Every ti Shouzhe and Luomiao et, they must go through this routine, and Shouzhe still quite enjoys it.
And Luomiao, every ti being so angry she nearly dies, yet later throws herself back into her brother’s embrace.
The relationship between Shouzhe and Luomiao is truly very good.
Subsequently, Wang Shouzhe dismounted, thanked Gongsun Hui, Liua Ruolei, and Liua Yuanrui. Then he followed the fleet of vehicles, grandly toward the Wang Family’s Main Residence.
Many people followed to watch the excitent, and the crowd grew larger and larger.
The previously bustling Zhouxuan Pass Weng City, in a blink of an eye, beca deserted, leaving only the Liu and Zhao Clans and so soldiers unable to leave due to guarding duties, appearing desolate.
The Ping’an Town garrison commander, Lei Yangqiu, watching this scene, looked at the increasingly heavier snow, and couldn’t help but sigh.
"Ping’an Town has completely changed its weather."
The youths of the Liu and Zhao Clans, their expressions collapsed thoroughly. Many whose hearts were fragile and unable to withstand the pressure, directly collapsed onto the ground, crying.
...
The Wang Family’s fleet, slowly moved along.
The original journey of no more than an hour and a half was dragged into two and a half hours.
Behind the fleet, there followed as many as three to four thousand people, looking down from above, it was indeed a vast crowd.
The Wang Family’s Main Residence had already been notified, the remaining clan mbers, household servants, and maids, awaited outside the gate. For fear of insufficient manpower, many had been specially summoned from side branches for transport.
"Shouzhe." Wang Shouxin approached, his face flushed with excitent.
The Wang Family had been declining for fifty years, and he, Wang Shouxin, had lived for forty-three years, never seen the Wang Family so glorious.
Imdiately, he carefully advised: "So strong noble families, after autumn and winter hunting returns, if they have a bountiful harvest that attracts spectators, they will take out a small portion of prey, ordinary ones will do. Then cook at on the spot and distribute it to those impoverished people who don’t have at all year round."
"At the sa ti, so strong noble families also take out half or a whole fierce beast to sell at lower prices to local minor families, to gather people’s hearts and enhance prestige, this tradition is called ’Celebration Banquet’."
