big week bad guy

Chapter 272 The Happy Event of Prosperity (4000 words, two in one chapter)

The capital, the yamen of bad people.

As soon as Zhao Xun entered the door, he saw a young boy wearing a green leather cap running over in a hurry, he came up to him and said to Wang Cai: "Master, it's not good."

Zhao Xun naturally knew this young man.This guy is called Pan Yan, Wangcai's book boy.On weekdays, I always send some food to Wangcai.

"What happened? You speak slowly."

"The yamen. Someone from the yamen is here, and they say they want you to go quickly."

Wang Cairao was calm and surprised.

Although his family is not considered a top-notch family, it can be considered a respectable family in Chang'an.Who doesn't give three-point noodles?

Wangcai is a cuter young man who can't be cuter, he is a harmless type to humans and animals, how could he violate the taboo of the yamen?

Wang Cai took a deep breath, trying to calm down his mood.

"Is it from the county government or the government government?"

The little book boy said with a bitter face: "The Catcher Cui who came here is an old man from Jingzhao Mansion, how can I not recognize him? Young master, you have to be careful, I think they are aggressive and have bad intentions."

Wangcai smiled faintly: "I'm not afraid of the shadow slanting when I'm upright. I haven't done anything outrageous, so what are you afraid of?"

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Zhao Xun quickly shouted: "Wangcai, be more careful, call me here if something happens."

Wangcai smiled slightly and said, "Brother Mingyun, don't worry, they dare not do anything to me."

The Yamen of bad people is not far from Jingzhao Mansion, and it didn't take long for Wangcai to come to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

Seeing a few yamen servants standing in front of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, Wangcai paused for a moment and continued to walk forward.

"A certain person is Pan Jinxing, whose name is Wangcai, who works in the office of bad people. Hearing that the old man asked me to intervene, he hurried back."

The guard burst out laughing after hearing this.

"You young man, you are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Do you think the courtroom is just a joke? With the order of the prefect, they can knock you down in the courtroom. This meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots will definitely be good." Let your flesh and blood be torn apart."

Wangcai was not intimidated, he followed Zhao Xun to solve cases all day long in the bad man's office, and he had seen many big scenes.He really didn't pay attention to a mere Jingzhao government office.

He cleared his throat, and said calmly: "Jing Zhaoyin is the master of Qingtian in Chang'an City, he is just and strict. I have not committed any crimes, I believe Jing Zhaoyin will definitely see through the details and return my innocence. In that case, boy What is there to be afraid of?"

The yamen servant nodded.

"I'm afraid you have to ask Catcher Cui about the specific matters."

In fact, he didn't believe that such a fat young man would commit any serious evil.Besides, Tang Zun directly explained the details to Cui Butou, so he had no way of knowing.

"Since that's the case, the boy will go to see Catcher Cui."

Wangcai nodded slightly, and stepped into Jingzhao Mansion.

But he said that he walked all the way through the courtyard and came to the arresting house where Cui Butou was.Cui Butou has been doing business in the Yamen all year round, so he is naturally not a refined person, with a hostile look on his face.

Wangcai walked up to him, cupped his hands at Butou Cui and said, "I'm Wangcai, I've met Butou Cui."

Catcher Cui smiled when he heard the words: "You are Wangcai?"

"If it's a fake replacement."

"That's it, quickly follow me to see Mr. Jing Zhaoyin."

Cui Catcher showed joy on his face, and he got up and was about to take Wangcai to the outside.

Wangcai's ability to observe words and expressions is first-class, after some observations he concluded that this must not be a bad thing, and he let go of his hanging heart.

He walked around the screen wall and followed Cui Butou through the hall and courtyard.Guessing that he had arrived at the second hall, Cui Butou stopped and looked back and said softly: "Little Lang, please wait here for a while."

Wangcai nodded slightly and smiled back.

Cui Butou walked quickly to an old locust tree, talked to the elegant man in his forties under the tree, and then stepped back.

"Master Jing Zhaoyin wants to meet you in the backyard. There are your family members there. It is not convenient for us to go there. You will follow Master Qian in after a while."

Wangcai hummed lightly.

It seems that Master Qian has Jing Zhaoyin's trust, otherwise he would not be able to come and go in and out of the backyard at will.

Wangcai walked up to Master Qian, bowed his head and said, "I have seen Master Qian."

Master Qian stroked the beard on his chin lightly, and said with a smile: "Come along with me."

Wangcai didn't dare to trust him, so he answered and followed Master Qian forward.

They walked along a cobblestone path, passed through a moon gate, and came to the backyard.

Master Qian put his hands behind his back and said as he walked, "Do you know why your lord wants to see you?"

"I don't know, I'm asking Master Qian for advice."

"Li Shaoqing wrote a letter to Tang Zun to protect the matchmaker for you."

Master Qian turned his head and said.

Wangcai couldn't help being taken aback.

Mediator?

Soon he understood what Master Qian meant.

This Li Shaoqing should be his grandfather Li Zhen.

Now he is an official residence of the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, and it is a habit in official circles to use official titles to address people.

It's really dumbfounding to go around such a big circle in a daze, just to talk about matchmaking.

However, a stone hanging in Wangcai's heart finally fell to the ground.

As long as it's not a disaster.

He cupped his fists gratefully at Master Qian: "Thank you, Master Qian."

This Master Qian took the initiative to show his favor to Yu Wangcai, naturally because he was very optimistic about him.

This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Wangcai, and he must seize it.

Master Qian nodded in satisfaction, with a teachable expression.

"My lord is reading in the study, you can come with me."

After that, he took a step towards a house that didn't look that big.

Wangcai hastened to keep up.

The door of the room was ajar, Master Qian knocked lightly twice and said: "Dong Weng, someone brought it here."

After a while, a faint voice came from inside the room: "Let him in."

Master Qian pushed open the door and nodded to Wangcai behind him.

Wangcai took a deep breath, straightened his robes, and walked into the house.

Incense was burning in the house, but it was hard to say what kind of incense Wangcai it was.

He followed Master Qian's footsteps around the screen and came to an ebony desk.

Sitting behind the desk was a well-proportioned middle-aged man.Although he didn't wear official uniform, he exuded the unique air of a superior person.

Presumably this is Jing Zhaoyin.

Wang Cai brewed some emotions, took a step forward and bowed and said: "Wan Sheng pays homage to your lord."

"Sure enough, he comes from a scholarly family and understands etiquette."

Jing Zhaoyin put down the scroll in his hand and looked at Wangcai carefully.

"You don't need to be nervous. The official came to you today to ask for your opinion. Your grandfather Taipusi Li Shaoqing wrote a letter to protect you as a matchmaker. You must know about this."

Wangcai secretly slandered, what do you mean by asking for my opinion? It is obvious that you, the old man, are not at ease and want to investigate a potential son-in-law.

But he didn't show any emotion on his face, and replied very calmly: "Wan Sheng knows a thing or two."

Although Wangcai didn't know that his grandfather really wrote to Jing Zhaoyin, if he said that he didn't know about such a thing, Jing Zhaoyin would not believe it, so he could only use such ambiguous words to prevaricate.

It can be seen that this Jing Zhaoyin is very satisfied with Wangcai, but he is really good at nourishing his energy. After a long time, he said calmly: "What do you think about this matter?"

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. How dare the late students speak nonsense?"

Wangcai answered without thinking.

The Great Zhou ruled the world with filial piety, from the emperor to the common people, there was no one who did not pay attention to filial piety.

What is filial piety?Filial piety is filial piety.Only following the wishes of parents is filial piety.

If you are not filial, who can stand up to the big hat of being unfilial and rebellious?

"kindness."

Jing Zhaoyin didn't make too many comments, but just nodded slightly.

After a moment of silence, Jing Zhaoyin changed the subject abruptly: "I admire Li Shaoqing's character very much. Since he wrote a letter to protect your matchmaker, I naturally want to give him face. The marriage between Xiansheng and his daughter Let's settle it for now."

He paused for a moment, and then added: "Seeing that Xiansheng is also underage, how about we set the marriage date in three years?"

Wangcai secretly scolded the old fox in his heart.It's obvious that you want to see my future development before making a decision, yet you can still speak so grandly.

If Wangcai's official career goes smoothly in the future, then he would naturally be happy to recruit such a wealthy son-in-law.

If Wangcai's mud can't support the wall, then you can find any reason to dissolve the engagement at that time.

For Jing Zhaoyin, this marriage is a sure thing.

"I have to discuss this matter with my parents for a while, and I will give you an answer tomorrow. If there is nothing else, I won't bother you."

Wangcai cupped his hands at Jing Zhaoyin, then turned and left.

After leaving Jingzhao Mansion, Wangcai immediately returned to the villain's office.

Seeing that Wangcai came back, Zhao Xun immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "How is it, did Jing Zhaoyin make things difficult for you?"

Zhao Xun and Jing Zhaoyin are also old acquaintances. If he makes things difficult for Wangcai, Zhao Xun will intercede, maybe it will achieve good results.

But seeing Wangcai smiled awkwardly and said: "Brother Mingyun, where did you think you were going? Before I went, I said that nothing would happen."

"What the hell is it that told you to make a special trip?"

Seeing Wangcai's hesitation, Zhao Xun was really worried.

"Uh, it's Jing Zhaoyin who wants to recruit me as his son-in-law."

"what!"

Zhao Xun was startled.

What is Jing Zhaoyin doing to recruit Wangcai as his son-in-law?

"Oh, to be honest. My maternal grandfather was Li Zhen, the Shaoqing of the Taipusi. He wrote a letter to Jing Zhaoyin as a matchmaker. Jing Zhaoyin asked me to go, first to ask if I would like to, and second Come and inspect me."

Wangcai said helplessly.

"Tsk tsk, it's really you. Unexpectedly, you are also the 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 circle is obvious to all. Basically, there is nothing in the business world that Wangcai cannot do.

As a result, he went around and found out that Wangcai was also a son of an official.

It makes sense to think about it now.

After all, in Chang'an City, if merchants do not have backing, it is impossible to grow big.

For the Pan family to have such a large family business, Wangcai's background must be unusual.

"I came back this time to ask brother Mingyun for leave. I have to go home. I have to ask my parents about marriage matters."

Zhao Xun smiled and nodded: "It should be so."

pan mansion.

"The Bodhisattva has manifested, the Bodhisattva has manifested."

Pan Li clasped his hands together very piously, fulfilled his wish to the Bodhisattva, and then embraced Wangcai in his arms.

"Son, you are so 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. I think Jing Zhaoyin will take care of it."

It turned out that Wangcai's mother, Mrs. Pan Li, went to Leyouyuan this morning, and had a fast meal at the Jinguang Temple in Leyouyuan at noon. After returning home, she learned from the little book boy that Wangcai had gone there The Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

"My son is unfilial, and my mother is worried."

Wangcai quickly admitted his mistake.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Pan Lishi patted Zhu Xu's shoulder, and then said with a smile: "Look at what our mother and I are standing at the door of this house. Come on, let's go in and talk."

The mother and son entered the room one after the other, and after sitting down respectively, Mrs. Pan Li asked, "The people in the yamen asked you to go to the court. Why?"

Wangcai explained with a smile: "Mother misunderstood, Mr. Jing Zhaoyin didn't ask me to go to the Yamen to interrogate my son, but to call my son to be his son-in-law."

"What, what are you saying is true?"

Pan Lishi was taken aback for a moment, and asked: "Jing Zhaoyin really wants to call you a son-in-law?"

"Grandpa personally wrote a letter to protect the media for his son, and Jing Zhaoyin agreed."

Wangcai said truthfully.

"Ah, so it is."

Pan Lishi nodded slightly.

"Mother, is it you who wrote to grandpa to ask him to be the matchmaker?"

Wangcai coughed.

After hearing this, Mrs. Pan Li nodded lightly between Wangcai's eyebrows and said, "If my mother knew about it, would she still be so worried? It's your grandfather who is helping you. Don't blame your grandfather for meddling. What about the situation of our Pan family? It’s not that I don’t know, since your eldest father has never been an official. Your grandfather is getting old, and he might be one day. This officialdom is a place for people to take a break. If you don’t take advantage of his old man’s appointment Plan it, but you really don’t have a chance.”

Wangcai hurriedly said: "Mother has worked hard, and my son is very touched."

"Then how did you reply to Jing Zhaoyin?"

"My son told him about marriage, but I dare not make the decision. I have to ask my parents before I can count."

"Ah, that makes sense."

Pan Lishi listened very well.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked in a deep voice, "My son is really willing to marry Jing Zhaoyin's daughter?"

"Son is willing."

Wangcai said bluntly.

"Ah, great, this is really great. It must be the blessing of the Bodhisattva, it must be the blessing of the Bodhisattva."

Tears welled up in Pan Lishi's eyes, and he clasped his palms together and reverently returned his wish to the Bodhisattva.

She is a Buddhist believer, and in her opinion, all of this is naturally due to the Bodhisattva.

Wangcai's decision to agree to the marriage so straightforwardly was of course a decision after weighing the pros and cons.

Besides, grandpa sent such a good opportunity to him, how could Wangcai save grandpa's face?
"Mother, if you agree, I will reply to Master Jing Zhaoyin tomorrow. My son is still young, and he will be married in three years."

Wangcai said while the iron was hot.

"Agreed, my mother naturally agrees. Although your father is not in Chang'an, he must be very willing to marry Jing Zhaoyin as in-laws. You go to the Yamen tomorrow morning, and don't let Jing Zhaoyin feel that our Pan family is deliberately neglecting you. "
