Chapter 332 Marriage 4
Just when Chen Sanlang was trying his best to establish connections with people and find out the whereabouts of Wang Jinyi, Wang Jinyi righteously refused and tried her best to get rid of the marriage proposal from the Wang family of Beining!
Seeing his grandfather sitting high in the main hall of the Beining Wang family, Wang Jinyi was a little confused. What kind of big deal could have caused his grandfather, the head of the Xunyang Wang family, to be transferred from Xunyang City to Beining?
In fact, it was very simple. First, Wang Jinyi was accidentally injured and his injury was too serious. The clan elders wrote to say that Wang Jinyi was in critical condition, so my grandfather rushed over in a hurry.
It would be possible to send Wang Jinyi's father, but Wang Shuli was preparing for the spring examination. People who have been to school attach great importance to examinations, so they naturally would not let their second son face major family events before the exam.
The grandparents didn’t dare tell the family about the child’s injuries, nor did they know how critically ill the child was. They only knew that when the previous letter was delivered, the child’s mother knelt and begged for mercy for half the night, then packed up her things and left that very night. With this association, the grandparents thought that something was wrong with the child.
My grandfather Wang Minzhang was a scholar who rode in a sedan chair all his life. This time, because he was worried about someone, he rode a fast horse to Bac Ninh Prefecture. Before he entered the city, the Bac Ninh Wang family was waiting outside the city to greet him. Even decades of self-cultivation could not suppress his nervousness.
When he arrived at the door, he was shocked by the grand reception. He thought: Oh no! Something happened to Jin Er? !
All the clan members were present, including more than a dozen men from the Beining Wang family, young and old, and the greeting at the door lasted for a while.
Wang Minzhang was really anxious to know what happened to Jin'er. He ignored the people who were still greeting each other at the door, walked up to the elders, bowed deeply, and asked with a sob:
"My granddaughter, how is she?"
The elder looked around at everyone, "Well, maybe they are busy!"
Wang Minzhang understood that they were busy with the rescue! His eyes turned red at that moment, "Can I go and take a look?"
You know, Wang Jinyi has always been an extremely smart and rare child in his heart. He cultivated her with all his heart, fearing that the child would be buried. But just a few days after leaving home,...
Just as he was full of doubts, the head of the Beining Wang family came over with a smile, raised his hand and saluted, "Cousin, I am glad to see the real..."
Before the other person could finish speaking, the old scholar who had been polite all his life interrupted the polite greeting and said, "Excuse me, cousin, how is my granddaughter now? Is she alive or dead? How serious is her injury?..."
He asked anxiously, his voice trembling. The people around him calmed down from the joyous atmosphere of the clan reunion and finally understood Wang Minzhang's tired and anxious face.
The elder of the clan reached out and patted Wang Minzhang on the back. According to seniority, this was his grandson, but he was also the head of a family, so he addressed him,
"Master Xunyang, your granddaughter was seriously injured, but she has recovered now. I called you here mainly for a few important matters. Let's go to the main hall first."
After saying this, he looked around at his clansmen, turned around and walked into the yard. Behind him, a group of people followed him into the main hall according to their seniority.
After a detailed discussion, Wang Minzhang learned that his granddaughter had escaped death, fought a desperate battle with the northern barbarians, and barely saved her life with injuries all over her body.
Wang Minzhang took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his forehead while listening, and was worried in his heart, how could his young granddaughter face such a powerful enemy and remain calm? !
What was that young child thinking about at that time?
Wang Minzhang regretted it. He regretted that he had been persuaded by his granddaughter with just a few words. He asked her to go out and see the world. Seeing the world would cost a price. How dangerous it was! ...
The head of the Beining family saw that his cousin was sweating with worry, so in order to ease the atmosphere, he joked:
"The Xunyang Wang family is very good at educating children. This child is a rare woman who is both generous and courageous that I have ever seen. In terms of talent and contribution, she is not inferior to any man!"
Logically speaking, as a writer, Wang Minzhang should say "no" modestly.
But to everyone's surprise, Wang Min unscrupulously praised her granddaughter, saying that she had outstanding literary talent, could memorize by ear, and was too cautious...
Anyway, he mumbled a lot of things, and the whole main hall became a storytelling scene.
The clan members were curious as to how Wang Minzhang, who had once been a third-rank official, could have the same hobby as Wang Po boasting about her melons.
Out of politeness, their expressions did not change, but no one believed it in their hearts. Only Wang Wenshu was very happy in his heart, because that was his future wife.
At night, the head of the Beining family came to visit Wang Minzhang in the yard and asked Wang Jinyi a lot of inexplicable questions in a roundabout way.
At first, Wang Minzhang thought that the future cooperation between the two families was a special way to show their closeness, but what did it mean when he asked whether Wang Jinyi was engaged?
Wang Minzhang frowned, and the smile on his face faded a little. He raised his eyes to look at the head of the Beining family and said slowly:
“Marriage is a big event. A man’s marriage can affect his life and even three generations.
A woman’s marriage can almost be regarded as a rebirth, so girls should be more cautious about marriage.
This matter is of great importance. Although I am the head of the family, marriage is related to the happiness of my child's life. It depends on what Jin'er herself wants. "
The head of the Beining family smiled and waved his hand:
“Cousin, although our two families are from the same clan, we are already five generations apart. Moreover, our whole family is very satisfied with Jinyi’s talent and appearance. I think our Beining Wang family is also a famous family within a hundred miles.
If this marriage can be achieved, it will be icing on the cake for both families and the two children."
Wang Minzhang sighed secretly in his heart. He knew all this, but Wang Jinyi was an independent girl by nature and had her own opinions.
Given her personality of not wanting to be inferior to others, if it wasn't her own wish, I'm afraid they would become a resentful couple!
I could only respond vaguely:
"I will discuss this matter with my family, and I also need to ask Jin'er what she thinks. After all, a forced melon is not sweet."
Seeing Wang Minzhang's words, the head of the Beining family didn't want to press him any further, so he nodded and said:
"Of course, my cousin is thoughtful and it's reasonable to do so. I can make it clear here that if we can marry into the Beining Wang family in the future, we will definitely treat the child well and will not let her suffer any grievances!"
As a grandfather, what Wang Minzhang wanted to hear most was this sentence: treat the married daughter of the Wang family well and not let her suffer any grievances. So at this moment, he was somewhat moved and wanted to accept it on behalf of Wang Jinyi.
But when I think about the three-year-old granddaughter who came into the study for the first time and asked to stand up to talk to her grandfather on an equal footing because she was too short to sit...
Thinking of this scene, I didn't make any promises and politely saw the guest off.
After the head of the Beining family left, Wang Minzhang sat alone on the couch, rubbing his temples, thinking about how to bring up this matter with Wang Jinyi and how to convince this extraordinary child.
Wang Jinyi was also thinking about how to express her feelings without hurting the relationship between the two families.
She held her chin with both hands, her face solemn, concentrating on thinking of countermeasures?
Marriage? My marriage was destined in my previous life!
