808: Chapter 808: Taking Advantage (3) 808: Chapter 808: Taking Advantage (3) The Fang Family, just one month after the grand banquet held to celebrate the old patriarch’s birthday, was once again decked out in lanterns and strears, this ti because Madam Fang was about to acknowledge a goddaughter.
In ancient tis, the recognition of god-relations was not as casual as it beca in modern society, where the terms godfather and godmother could be thrown around lightly, and later even beca a kind of specific symbol.
During that period, recognizing god-relations was an incredibly solemn affair, and once acknowledged, except for the lack of a blood relationship, all other responsibilities were the sa as those of actual parents.
If taken seriously enough, the godchild might even be included in the family genealogy.
Yang Ruxin was a village girl with no background whatsoever, whereas the Fang Family held official status.
Fang Dehua was the County Magistrate, wielding the life-or-death authority over the local populace, and his wife Yuan ngzhu was the esteed daughter of the Yuan Family.
Although she was married, the dowry she brought with her could probably feed several generations—she was truly a female tycoon.
Yet, these two families of such disparate status beca kin through this formal acknowledgnt.
So people believed that Yang Ruxin had cultivated years of good fortune.
But others who knew the insider story could not agree with such a statent.
Although Ruxin was a village girl, she had an impressive master, Dao Xuzi.
Was he soone just anyone could et?
Of course not.
So what was the solution?
Seek out the disciples of the Divine Doctor.
Who could claim they have never been ill?
Even the Emperor himself could not escape sickness.
When the ti cos, with eyes closed and legs crossed, neither high power nor abundant wealth would be of any use.
So, rather than saying that Yang Ruxin had taken advantage of them, it was really the Fang Family who had gotten the better end of the deal.
Fortunately, they had the grace not to act spoiled despite their good fortune.
Yuan ngzhu was in a very good mood today, not only because she was about to acknowledge a goddaughter, but more importantly, because her older brother Yuan ngqing had also co.
Yuan ngqing was eight years older than Yuan ngzhu, and he had practically raised his sister by himself.
ngzhu’s affection for her elder brother was even deeper than for her own parents.
But her brother managed the Yuan Family’s business and was very busy.
Furthermore, with the Yuan Family residing half a month’s journey away, the siblings could rarely et more than a few tis a year.
Last month, when the old Mr.
Fang celebrated his birthday, Cai Wenjuan ca over and chose to stay a little longer.
She was planning to return after visiting the Pancake Fruit Shop, but with the god-child recognition coming up, Cai Wenjuan simply sent a ssage to her husband, saying she would stay a few more days.
Unexpectedly, Yuan ngqing rushed over.
He ca both to et this goddaughter that his sister had chosen and to personally bring his wife ho.
Whatever the reason, Yuan ngzhu was exceptionally happy.
“That girl saved Zeze; she’s not only a benefactor to the Fang Family, but our Yuan Family is also grateful to her,” Yuan ngqing said.
He had a genteel and elegant appearance, and his tone was gentle, often carrying a faint smile that imdiately endeared him to others.
Only those who knew him well were aware that the head of the Yuan Family was a decisive character in business, which had allowed him to greatly develop the family’s enterprises and rank among the foremost of the great families in Jiangnan.
“That girl, oh, I liked her the mont I saw her,” Cai Wenjuan’s eyes sparkled with excitent, suddenly recalling sothing, “Right, she must be of marriageable age now, right?”
“Eldest sister-in-law, you…” Yuan ngzhu frowned slightly.
“What do you think of my Tiantian?
You, as his aunt, have watched him grow up, and his character…”
“Eldest sister-in-law, Tiantian is a good child, with both virtue and appearance, but…
didn’t you notice the man by her side that day?” ngzhu looked at Cai Wenjuan, “The one in the wheelchair…”
