Chapter 22 - Imperial Family
Through the opened window, An Zi Ran saw a group of people surrounding one person. At the moment, that one person was telling an interesting story. You could say it was gossip. The person spoke with spittle flying. The group listened with relish. He listened for a while and found that he was talking about some palace gossip. It was hard to distinguish between true and false, but none of it was what he wanted.

After a while, the server brought over the plates of dim sum that he ordered.An Zi Ran took the opportunity to ask, "Brother Server, I want to ask you about a person." Saying so, he took out a fragment of silver and placed it on the table. "Whether you can answer or not, this money is still yours."
With a face full of smiles, the server took the money and said, "Sir, whatever you want to know, go ahead and ask without hesitation. If this little person knows, I will definitely tell you everything without leaving anything out."

An Zi Ran nodded and said without hesitation, "I want to ask you about a person named Fu Feng Zheng. In this Jun Zi City, have you ever heard of this person?"As soon as the server heard this name he stood in stunned amazement.
"What is it? Is there some problem with this name?" An Zi Ran was keenly aware of the changes on the server's face.
The server recovered his senses and smiled apologetically. "Sir misunderstood. There is no problem. It is only that this little person have not heard this name for a long time, so was unable to react right away."
An Zi Ran said, "Then can you tell me about this person?"
"Of course."
"This sir does not know, but old Fu wang ye* was once an influential figure in Jun Zi City. The older generation of people has all heard of him. However, the old wang ye is, after all, older. His body is not as good as it used to be. In recent years, he has rarely appeared before people. So the news about him is getting less and less..." The server said.
[T/N: I don't know why the author separated the "of course" from the rest of the sentence when they're all spoken by the same person...]
[*T/N: 王爷 wang ye: title for a prince, marquis, or other nobleman]
When An Zi Ran heard "old Fu wang ye," these four words, his expression changed slightly.
He did think that Fu Feng Zheng may be a powerful person, or a businessman with good connections, but he never thought that he would be royalty. According to his age, it was very likely for him to be the imperial uncle of the current emperor.
The imperial family. There was no way whatsoever that the An family could claim connections with such high ranking people. Fu was the surname of the country, and it was the surname of the royal family. If An Zi Ran were an authentic citizen of Da Ya then he may have thought of this point, but unfortunately, he was not.
What the server told him was no secret. Asides from outsiders, many people in Jun Zi City knew of this. When the server started talking about how lots of women used to fall all over themselves over old Fu wang ye's good looks during his prime, An Zi Ran stopped him.

"Brother Server, do you know about old Fu wang ye's family members?" An Zi Ran asked. Those things about Fu Feng Zheng can be said later, what was most important now was that marriage contract. Even though his family's status could not measure up to that of the imperial family, since there was such an opportunity, they still had to take a chance and try. Not to mention, the person who proposed the marriage in the past was Fu Feng Zheng himself.
