The Wang family was originally an ordinary agricultural and scholarly family, who would have thought that fifteen years ago, an uncle from the Wang family, who had repeatedly failed the imperial examinations, suddenly achieved second-class Advanced Scholar status. This completely transformed their social standing, and consequently, the related Ye Family's fortunes soared as well.
Subsequently, the uncle's position in the government grew larger and larger, and now he is the Third-rank Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which is precisely the reason why the Ye Family became Imperial Merchants. Today is the seventieth birthday of Ye Qiu's maternal grandmother, so they are putting on an exceptionally grand celebration.
Several masters from the Ye Family took three carriages, but behind them, two additional carriages carried birthday gifts for the old Marquis. Although the Ye Family was not of official status, the richness of their gifts was truly unmatched.
