Wang Yue felt a little disgusted when he saw Old Mrs. Ye forcing him so much, so he said expressionlessly, "Then just let Old Mrs. Ye do what you want!"
Seeing that Wang Yue was unhappy, Old Mrs. Ye sighed. , she said helplessly, "To be fair to Mr. Wang, the Gu family in Guizhou sent someone to post a message saying that they would come to visit the day after tomorrow. Mr. Wang is very smart, so you should understand what it means." Wang Yue looked at it
. The old lady failed to show her affection and started to reason with him again. It was not good for him to continue to be angry, otherwise he would appear to be a little petty.
He thought about the news he had received that the emperor was planning to arrange for Princess Yunshang to marry into the Gu family. He asked with some confusion, "The Gu family is planning to arrange a marriage for Gu Jiusi before the envoy arrives?" Mrs. Ye looked at the king
. She was very impressed that Yue could still speak well under such circumstances. If she was only interested in Wang Yue's family background, now she is even more impressed by Wang Yue.
In the coming troubled times, Wang Yue's character is very adaptable to the current way of survival.
She didn't hide anything, and said in a very embarrassed tone, "Boy Wang, you also know that although the Gu family is a merchant, Gu Jiusi's uncle's family is a minister of civil affairs, and the princess of Liang Wang, who is the minister of household affairs, , and she is sworn to Jinlan, the eldest wife of the Gu family. Her background is too strong, and it is hard for us to offend her. Our two families have a close relationship, and Yun'er is too simple. I really don't trust her to follow the number one in Jiangnan. Dandy. Of course, if you really despise my girl Yun'er, I won't force it."
Wang Yue is a soft-hearted guy, not a tough guy, and the other party almost begged him. He thought he could meet the Ye family. Miss, even if she is unable to marry Miss Ye in the future, she will still help him reject the in-laws from the Gu family.
However, just as he was about to ask Mrs. Ye to arrange a meeting, he suddenly thought that he was going to the Gu family tomorrow, and he thought he might be able to get the Gu family to change their mind.
So, he bowed to the old lady, and then said seriously, "Old lady, you don't know something. I have already sent a greeting to the Gu family, and I will visit the Gu family tomorrow. I think it is for this reason, They just arranged to come to the house the day after tomorrow, why don't I go to Gu's house tomorrow to find out more?"
The old lady didn't expect Wang Yue to say this suddenly, but she saw that Wang Yue didn't refuse directly, and she understood what Wang Yue meant.
Probably Wang Yue wanted to go to the Gu family to persuade him. If the persuasion was successful, then they wouldn't have to go to such trouble.
In this case, the old lady did not force herself any more. She showed a kind smile and said to Wang Yue, "No matter what, I will thank Mr. Wang on behalf of my Yun'er."
Wang Yue greeted Old Mrs. Ye very politely. After saying a few words, he said goodbye and left, returning to the yard where he lived.
...
Early the next morning, Wang Yue brought some gifts and came to the Gu family with the Wang family's servants.
When he arrived, only Mrs. Jiang, the eldest wife of the Gu family, was waiting there. Gu Jiusi and Gu Jiusi's father Gu Langhua were not there.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yue saluted Jiang and then sat down.
After Jiang and other servants served Wang Yue tea, he said politely, "Master Wang, I'm so sorry, my child is really naughty and is being scolded by his father right now. The Gu family does not mean to be negligent. "
Wang Yue took a sip of tea, and then said casually, "Who in Yangzhou City doesn't know that the Gu family has the final say. The eldest lady is here to entertain guests, which already shows the sincerity of the Gu family." Jiang looked at Wang Yue
. Although she felt very comfortable after saying this, she still hurriedly made up for her husband-in-law. After explaining it to Wang Yue seriously, she asked with some curiosity, "I heard that Mr. Wang said in his post that he had something to discuss with our Gu family. Discuss?"
Wang Yue nodded and said with a serious face, "Mrs. Gu's brother holds an official position in the court, so he must have his own understanding of major world events. Do you think the emperor's marriage grant this time is a good thing for the Gu family? What a huge disaster?"
Jiang didn't expect Wang Yue to mention this matter, so she asked with caution, "Is Mr. Wang here to be a lobbyist? I wonder if he was entrusted by my brother or the Prince of Liang?"
Wang Yue waved his hand and said casually, "The purpose of my coming to Yangzhou is indeed to be a lobbyist, but my original purpose was to invite the Gu family to Qingzhou for development. With my father in Qingzhou, it is like a fairyland, which can ensure that the Gu family You'll be safe and content there."
When Mrs. Jiang heard what Wang Yue said, she asked with some confusion, "What is your purpose now?"
Wang Yue smiled and said nonchalantly, "Mrs. Jiang must also know "Your Majesty gave you that cloak to keep out the cold. Although you gave the horse back afterwards, after all, your Young Master has a pure heart and cannot bear to let him become a piece of meat on someone else's chopping board." Jiang was very unhappy when he heard what Wang Yue said was scary
. He said, "My Gu family is not the kind of helpless person. Otherwise, the family would not have developed to this point, and no one can afford to offend it." Wang Yue smiled, he didn't know
this Is Mrs. Gu pretending to be confused, or is she just good at business and not fully aware of the world's major events, so she did not speculate, but said seriously, "But has Mrs. Gu ever thought about it? Once you cancel the princess's marriage, what will happen to the princess?" My brother and Prince Liang are bound to be disliked by the emperor, and their official positions will not be guaranteed. Do you think someone will no longer be scrupulous about it and attack your Gu family?" After hearing Wang Yue's words, Mrs. Jiang couldn't bear it
. She couldn't help but be stunned. She just didn't want her son Princess Shang, but she completely forgot how much trouble her brother and Prince Liang would face once the Gu family refused.
You know, the Gu family, a merchant, would have been eaten alive by local officials if it weren't for his brother and Prince Liang who were taking care of them in the court.
When she thought about the seriousness of the matter, she didn't understand what her brother meant. She said anxiously, "Is it so serious?" Wang Yue nodded and
said seriously, "It is very serious. The emperor also After all, the Gu family is just a businessman. Marrying a princess is already a huge favor from the emperor. The Gu family has no confidence to refuse, so, That can only be what your brother and Prince Liang mean."
Jiang couldn't help but stood up and paced back and forth in the hall. After being reminded by Wang Yue, she knew that once she offended the emperor, her brother would definitely have a difficult time in the court and he would not be able to protect himself. Bad luck will follow. At that time, everyone can attack their Gu family.
Thinking of this, she said reluctantly, "Do we have to sacrifice our children?"
Wang Yue smiled and said calmly, "Actually, everything can be discussed."
Seeing that Wang Yue said so confidently, Jiang asked curiously, "I wonder how Mr. Wang thinks we can talk about it?" Wang Yue
smiled and said calmly, "We can spend money to eliminate disasters, what else can we do? ?"
When Jiang saw that Wang Yue actually asked her to choose to spend money to eliminate the disaster, her head suddenly became clearer. After all, for businessmen like them, money is more important than life.
She thought that Wang Yue was living in the Ye family, and asked with some suspicion, "Master Wang, are you not entrusted by the Ye family? That's why you came to persuade us to agree to this son's marriage. If If Ye Jia's family doesn't agree to marry their daughter, our Gu family will not force it."
Wang Yue was a little dumbfounded. He put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly, "The second purpose of the kid is really to say something. Regarding the marriage between Ye and Gu. Of course I know that Gu Jiusi is not the playboy he appears to be, but so what? No matter who marries the Gu family now, he or she will offend the Da Rong royal family. Officer, that's really embarrassing. The Ye family is a pure family. Aren't you ruining their future?"
Seeing Wang Yue's words so straightforwardly, Jiang couldn't help but frown. She was a little embarrassed. Said, "If the Gu family and the Ye family join forces, even if it is more difficult in the court, there will be no one who will come to provoke them." Wang Yue can finally see that
this is a person who loves children without a bottom line. She My brother is already in some unknown place.
He could only sigh that Father Gu was so lucky to meet such a woman who only cared about her husband's family, not the legendary Voldemort.
Of course, there is also a possibility that the Gu family has already made up its mind and has its own plans, or they simply don't believe in themselves.
Wang Yue also understood that the other party firmly wanted to refuse the princess's marriage, so he no longer forced it, immediately changed his purpose, and immediately asked tentatively, "If you want to come to the Gu family to refuse this marriage, I have already found one." The way out is that our Langya Wang family doesn't want to be the bad guys and continue to force it, but we don't know if we can reach cooperation with the Gu family." Seeing that
Wang Yue didn't force them to agree to the marriage, Jiang asked curiously, "Young Master Wang actually With such a thorough view, you should understand the situation that the Gu family will face. I wonder how you want to cooperate?"
Wang Yue smiled, and he said with great certainty, "Since Mrs. Gu insists on refusing Gu Jiusi to marry the princess, I think there must be something wrong. It's a foolproof strategy. But I think it's better not to put all the eggs of the Gu family into one basket. One is to transport part of the silver to Qingzhou. We in Qingzhou can ensure that the Gu family will not be disturbed. The other one? It's the business that the Gu family is planning to abandon. You can give us the Wang family in Qingzhou, and no one who is blind would dare to embarrass us in Qingzhou." Seeing
what Wang Yue said, Jiang felt that there was no harm at all, and she said seriously, "Young Master Wang is willing to go to such great lengths Help, I wonder what you want?"
Wang Yue waved his hand and said carelessly, "I also have some specialties in Qingzhou, and I want to sell them to all the thirteen states of Darong, but the world is in chaos and business travel is difficult. We just need help from the Gu family."
Seeing that the conditions proposed by Wang Yue were so simple, Jiang was a little suspicious. She asked with some uncertainty, "Is it that simple?"
Wang Yue nodded and said very seriously, " Of course it's that simple. You don't think we will take the Gu family's property by force, do you? Our Langya Wang family is a thousand-year-old family, and we can't do such a thing." Jiang felt relieved when she saw that Wang Yue didn't look like he was joking
. After taking a breath, she felt that if it was just like this, it wouldn't be impossible to agree.
So, she politely told Wang Yue that she needed to discuss it with her husband and give Wang Yue an accurate letter in a few days.
Wang Yue didn't force it, and he wouldn't let others agree immediately, so he said goodbye politely and left. Anyway, if he couldn't cooperate, he could do it himself.
...
When Wang Yue returned to Ye's house, the old lady couldn't wait to call Wang Yue over.
After the maid served Wang Yue tea, Mrs. Ye asked anxiously, "Mr. Wang, what do the Gu family say?"
Wang Yue calmly took a sip of tea, and then said in a deep voice, "I didn't see you. When I arrived at the head of the Gu family, I chatted with Mrs. Jiang for a while. She said that she would discuss it with the head of the Gu family, but I judged that they would most likely refuse to let Gu Jiusi marry the princess. After all, once he married the princess, the Gu family's money would be gone. However, the Gu family does not have Miss Ye, so in the current situation, the young ladies in Yangzhou City who are trying to get married may be their targets." Seeing
what Wang Yue said, Mrs. Ye sighed, she already knew that it was not so easy to persuade The other party just didn't expect it to be so difficult.
The old lady has already heard what Wang Yue means, that is, the Gu family does not necessarily want a girl from the Ye family to get married, so as long as the Ye family insists on refusing, the Gu family will not force it.
So, she politely spoke to Wang Yue for a while, and no longer forced Wang Yue to look at Ye Yun'er.
But she did not sit still and arranged for someone to go to Qingzhou by sea to deliver a letter expressing her intention to marry.
Wang Yue didn't know what Mrs. Ye had arranged. After he came out of the old lady's place, he was going to go to his small courtyard.
But as soon as he entered the courtyard, a group of people broke in, led by a little girl. After she entered, she stepped back and said with some annoyance, "Young Master Wang, what's wrong with me? That makes you look down on her so much?"
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows. Listening to the girl's tone, he knew it was Ye Yun, the young lady of the Ye family. He looked at her carefully and found that she was indeed a little beauty.
This was in ancient times. If he didn't object to marrying more women, he didn't think Ye Yun'er would follow him as a child.
So, he said politely, "Sister Yun'er is indeed good-looking, but I met Miss Liu first. If I had to do it over again, I would definitely stay at home and get to know Miss Liu first." Look
. Wang Yue said it in a funny way, but Ye Yun'er suddenly put away her serious face and said seriously, "But Sister Liu and my brother are in love, you can't steal my sister-in-law."
Wang Yue was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that someone else would interfere with who he liked, so he said dissatisfiedly, "You Ye family and Liu family haven't hired anyone yet, and everything is still changing. You'd better not think about these things, but think about yourself." Well, then the Gu family may come to hire you one day, and you will marry Gu Jiusi."
After hearing Wang Yue's words, Ye Yun'er pouted in dissatisfaction, and she was not in the mood to argue with Wang Yue. , stamped her feet, and said angrily, "How annoying! You just said something that is disappointing!"
After she finished speaking, she immediately left the courtyard and left with his maid.
After she left, Wang Yue shook his head helplessly. This little girl was quite straightforward. It would be fun to marry her home.
