MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 719 [Fan] The belt is getting wider and you will never regret it (9)
Li Ping has been in a bad mood these days.
Cai Jijiu didn't want to see him in the first place, but he was put off by Wang Han two days ago. Now, Yi Mei will definitely misunderstand him.
He wanted to go to Yimei to explain, but it was difficult to see her.
Li Ping was worrying in the room when Sui Feng ran in anxiously and spread out on the chair. Li Ping immediately stood up and asked, "But have we heard about Mei'er's whereabouts? When will she go out?" "
Sui Feng took two deep breaths. After he regained his breath, he replied with a grimace: "Second Young Master, it's not good, Miss Cai and Wang Hanlin are already engaged."
"What?"
Li Ping was so shocked that his voice almost changed: "It's only been two or three days, and Mei'er suddenly got engaged."
Sui Feng poured a bowl of tea and drank it, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve and sighed: "Cai Jijiu has always been very fond of Wang Han, and the Wang family is devoted to the Cai family. Both parties are willing to do so." Things naturally hit it off immediately.”
This news shocked Li Ping, who was stunned for a while. When he came to his senses, he turned red-eyed, slapped the table and said fiercely: "Wang Han, that hypocritical villain, if Mei'er marries him, from now on, You will regret it.”
A girl from one family is sought by hundreds of families, some are happy and some are sad.
At this moment, in the palace, Wang Han was extremely proud. He heard that the Cai family had agreed to the marriage, and after returning from duty, he happily went straight to the yard of his mother, Mrs. Wang.
“Mother, did the Cai family agree?”
Wang Han asked eagerly as soon as he stepped into the house.
Mrs. Wang was talking to her niece Zhao Jiaer. When she saw her son, she immediately darkened her face and replied: "She is just the daughter of an official from the Qingshui Yamen. Is it worthy of you to be so happy?"
Wang Han glanced at his mother, and then at his red-eyed cousin sitting next to her. He calmed down his joy slightly, sat down on the chair, and explained: "Although my son is in high school, we are just businessmen and have nothing to do in the court." The foundation is that Cai Jijiu’s disciples are all over the world. My son can get on Master Cai’s boat because of his future future. I know that I can’t help my mother and cousin, but I have no choice but to do it myself.”
Although Mrs. Wang is the wife of a businessman, she is not a woman who knows nothing. She knows what her son said, otherwise, she would not go to the Cai family to propose marriage. However, her husband died early, and she only had one son, Wang Han, who only knew how to study. To this day, although the Wang family can still maintain the reputation of being the richest man in the capital, it actually depends entirely on Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law and brother. It was Zhao Jiaer's father who supported and helped.
Although the elder brother devoted himself to supporting the Wang family, he was still an outsider, and his son had left an official career. Therefore, Mrs. Wang always wanted her son to marry her niece Zhao Jiaer.
In this way, the two families became one.
The son can concentrate on his official career, while the elder brother may be dedicated to supporting the royal family's business.
The best of both worlds.
She had a son but had other plans. Mrs. Wang couldn't resist her son. Although she agreed to the Cai family's marriage, she still had concerns in her heart.
In case of annoying the elder brother, who is the big business of the Wang family, who wants to depend on. Although Wang Han was a scholar, he was born in a merchant family and was a very active person. He naturally understood his mother's concerns and knew how powerful it was.
Seeing that both his mother and cousin looked unhappy, Wang Han stood up and poured a cup of tea for them. Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her son after all, so she raised her hand and took it, sighing: "Your cousin loves you so much." It’s not that I don’t know, now that you want to marry that daughter of the Cai family, you have to let your cousin do what you want.”
Zhao Jia'er did not take the tea cup Wang Han handed her, she just lowered her head and followed Wang's words and said: "My cousin was the courtier of the court, and now he is the son-in-law that many noble girls dream of. I am a woman from a small family. , How can I be worthy of someone like my cousin?"
As she spoke, she sniffed, raised her eyes and glanced at Wang Han with tears in her eyes, then turned to Mrs. Wang and said, "I know that my aunt cares about me, but I don't want to say anything like this again in the future."
"Jia'er wishes my cousin to marry a beautiful woman and have a bright future." After saying that, she ignored Mrs. Wang's plea to stay, and only gave a slight bow to Mrs. Wang and Wang Han, then left Wang Han, mother and son, and went out on her own. house.
Seeing her niece like this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help wiping away her tears, and Wang Han chased her out subconsciously.
"Cousin, wait a minute." Wang Han caught up with Zhao Jia'er, bowed deeply to her, and said apologetically: "I know that my cousin has a lot of affection for me. I only blame me for being devoted to my career and failing my cousin."
“Hey! It’s all my fault!” As he said this, the corners of Wang Han’s eyes turned red.
The young man is elegant and elegant, and he is blessed with orchids and jade trees. Such a person who is like an immortal made his eyes red in front of his daughter's family, showing even more affection.
Seeing Wang Han like this, Zhao Jiaer couldn't help but soften her heart, and whispered: "I can't reach someone like my cousin. Now that my cousin is about to marry a noble girl, I will leave here soon." , went home."
Zhao Jiaer lost her mother when she was young. Mrs. Wang was worried that she would be abused by her step-mother, so she kept her by her side.
When Wang Han heard this, he said anxiously: "My cousin, why did you say this? Your family is dominated by the Jiang family. If you have such a weak temperament, you will be tortured to death by her if you go back."
Zhao Jiaer wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and replied with a wry smile: "Even if my stepmother doesn't want to see me, it is my home after all. Even if I don't like it there, there is no reason to stay here forever."
Wang Han sighed slightly and said, "Cousin, I know that I want to marry that daughter of the Cai family, which will break your heart."
"However, I am also forced by the formality. If a merchant's son like me enters the officialdom, he will not be able to go far without someone to rely on."
As he spoke, his eyes turned red again. He raised his hand and took Zhao Jia'er's hand, choking and saying, "Cousin, I can't help you. I hope you can understand me."
After hearing these words, Zhao Jiaer also cried. She choked and said: "I know that my cousin is ambitious, and I can understand your choice today."
"It's just that the bride is about to enter the house. It's really inappropriate for me to stay here any longer." At the end of the sentence, Zhao Jiaer couldn't help but cover her face with a handkerchief and cried out. She was worried about being heard, so she Biting her lip fiercely, her slender body was shaky, like a lonely flower branch swaying in the wind, looking pitiful.
For a moment, Wang Han felt very sad. He stretched out his arms to take the person in front of him into his arms and murmured: "You don't want to go anywhere. You have grown up here since you were a child. This is your home. We are childhood sweethearts. The points are definitely not comparable to others." (End of Chapter)
