Chapter 271 The happy event of prosperity (4000 words two in one chapter)(2/2)
After a moment of silence, Jing Zhaoyin suddenly changed the subject and said: "I admire Li Shaoqing's character very much. Since he wrote a letter to protect your matchmaking, I naturally want to give him face. The marriage between Xian Sheng and my daughter is very important."
Let’s make a decision for now.”
He paused for a moment, and then added: "Looking at Xiansheng's age, he should be underage, so how about setting the wedding date in three years?"
Wangcai cursed the old fox in his heart. You obviously want to see my future development before making a decision, but you can still say it so grandly.
If Wangcai's future career goes smoothly, he will naturally be happy to recruit such a golden son-in-law.
If the wealth cannot support you, you can find any reason to terminate the engagement at that time.
For Jing Zhaoyin, this marriage is a sure profit.
"I still have to discuss this matter with my parents and I will give you an answer tomorrow. If there is nothing else to do, I will not disturb you."
Wang Cai rushed to Jing Zhaoyin and cupped his hand, then turned and left.
After leaving Jingzhao Mansion, Wangcai immediately returned to the Delinquent Yamen.
Seeing that Wangcai was back, Zhao Xun immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "How's it going? Is Jing Zhaoyin giving you a hard time?"
Zhao Xun and Jing Zhaoyin are old acquaintances. If he makes things difficult for Wangcai, if Zhao Xun goes to intercede, he may achieve good results.
But Wangcai smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Mingyun, where did you think you were going? I told you everything would be fine before you went."
"Then what is it that requires you to make a special trip?"
Seeing Wangcai hesitating like this, Zhao Xun was really worried.
"Well, it's Jing Zhaoyin who wants to recruit me as his son-in-law."
"What!"
Zhao Xun was simply shocked.
To attract wealth as a son-in-law, what does Jing Zhaoyin do?
"Oh, I'll tell you the truth. My grandfather was Li Zhen, the young minister of Taipu Temple. He wrote a letter to Jing Zhaoyin to talk about matchmaking. Jing Zhaoyin then asked me to go, firstly to ask if I was willing, and secondly. You came here to inspect me."
Wangcai said helplessly.
"Tsk tsk, I really belong to you. I didn't expect that you are also a son of an official."
Zhao Xun always thought that Wangcai was the home of merchants. After all, Wangcai's influence in Chang'an's business community was obvious to all. Basically, there was nothing in the business world that Wangcai could not accomplish.
As a result, after going around for a while, he discovered that Wangcai was also a descendant of an official.
Now that I think about it, it makes sense.
After all, it is impossible for merchants in Chang'an City to become big without a backer.
For the Pan family to have such a large business, their wealthy background must be extraordinary.
"I came back this time to ask for leave from Brother Mingyun. I have to go home. I have to ask my parents about marriage matters."
Zhao Xun smiled and nodded: "That's how it should be."
Pan Mansion.
"The Bodhisattva has appeared. The Bodhisattva has appeared."
Mrs. Pan Li clasped her hands together very piously, returned her vow to the Bodhisattva, and then took the wealth into her arms.
"Son, you're scared to death. The people in the Yamen didn't make things difficult for you, did they? Although your father is not an official, our Pan family has some status at least. I think Jing Zhaoyin will take it into consideration."
It turns out that Wangcai's mother, Pan Li, went to Leyouyuan this morning, and had a vegetarian meal at the Jinguang Temple in Leyouyuan at noon. After returning home, she learned from the little book boy that Wangcai had gone there. Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.
"My son is unfilial and makes my mother worried."
Wangcai quickly admitted his mistake.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
Mrs. Pan Li patted Zhu Xu on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "Look at what we two are doing standing at the door of this house. Let's go in and talk."
Mother and son entered the room one after another. After they sat down respectively, Pan Li asked: "Why did the people from the Yamen ask you to go to the hall?"
Wangcai smiled and explained: "Mother misunderstood. Master Jing Zhaoyin didn't ask me to go to the Yamen to interrogate my son, but to call him as his son-in-law."
"What, are you telling the truth?"
Pan Li was stunned when she heard this and asked: "Jing Zhaoyin really wants to call you as his son-in-law?"
"Grandpa personally wrote a letter to secure a match for his son, and Jing Zhaoyin agreed."
Wangcai said truthfully.
"Ah, that's it."
Pan Li nodded slightly.
"Mother, was it you who wrote to grandpa to ask him to be the matchmaker?"
Wangcai coughed and said.
After hearing this, Mrs. Pan Li gently tapped Wangcai's eyebrows and said, "If mother knew about it, would you still be so worried? It's your grandpa who is making arrangements for you. Don't blame your grandpa for being troublesome. What about the situation of our Pan family?"
It’s not that I don’t know, your eldest father has never been an official. Your grandpa is getting old, and he may not be able to become an official one day. In the officialdom, it is easy for people to take their time. If you don’t replace him while he is still here,
I tried to make some plans, but I really have no chance."
Wangcai quickly said: "My son has been deeply touched by my mother's hard work."
"Then how did you reply to Jing Zhaoyin?"
"I dare not make the decision when my son tells him about marriage matters. I have to ask my parents before I can make any decision."
"Ah, that makes sense."
Mrs. Pan Li was very pleased with what she heard.
After hesitating for a moment, she asked in a deep voice: "My son is really willing to marry Jing Zhaoyin's daughter?"
"My son is willing."
Wangcai said straightforwardly.
"Ah, great, this is really great. It must be the blessing of the Bodhisattva, it must be the blessing of the Bodhisattva."
Mrs. Pan Li was so excited that tears filled her eyes, and she clasped her hands together to repay her vow to the Bodhisattva devoutly.
She is a believer in Buddhism, and in her opinion, all this is naturally the result of the Bodhisattva.
Wangcai's decision to agree to the marriage so straightforwardly was of course a decision made after weighing the pros and cons.
Besides, his grandpa brought such a good opportunity to him, how could the wealth still disgrace his grandpa?
"Mother, if you agree, I will go and reply to Mr. Jing Zhaoyin tomorrow. My son is still young and we can get married in three years."
Wangcai said, striking while the iron is hot.
"I agree, my mother naturally agrees. Although your father is not in Chang'an, he is definitely very willing to marry Jing Zhaoyin. You go to the Yamen early tomorrow morning and don't let Jing Zhaoyin think that our Pan family is deliberately neglecting you.
