"Don't worry," Yamazaki quickly stopped him, "there are still two things to do."
Zhao Jin paid homage and said, "Sir, please tell me that I will not hesitate to go through fire and water."
Yamazaki said seriously: "The first thing is your father, Mr. Hou, what is his attitude towards your marriage to Miss Fang? You have to understand that marriage is not just a marriage, but also a marriage between two families. You are an only son, so you must be more cautious.
.”
"This..." Zhao Jin couldn't make up his mind and didn't dare to answer.
Yamazaki continued, "The second thing is the attitude of the Fang family. Even if the Fang family lets Miss Fang go out, they may not let you accompany her. Even if the two of you want to be together, you still have to follow the family's arrangements for marriage matters."
"Of course, if you want to elope, that's another matter."
"Ha." Gu Linger couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Jin smiled bitterly, "Sir, you are joking."
Yamazaki waved his hand and said, "I'm not kidding. If you two are really good enough to elope, that's not bad. If you bring your grandson back in a year and a half, the parents on both sides can only hold their noses and admit it."
"Because you are so ignorant of the overall situation, your career is in jeopardy. You have to think clearly about this."
"this……"
Zhao Jin had nothing to say and felt heavy.
Yamazaki smiled and said: "Don't worry about this yet. When the time comes, there is still a way to go."
Zhao Jin quickly visited the shrine again and said, "Please sir, please give me some advice."
Yamazaki touched his beard and smiled: "Don't worry, you can solve these problems first."
Zhao Jin was helpless, "Sir, isn't this exciting?"
Yamazaki smiled confidently and said: "This is a glimmer of hope. Only with hope can there be hope. Only with hope can you have the energy to do things, so don't be anxious."
"Okay, it all depends on sir. I'll go back and ask my father right away." Zhao Jin handed over his hand and hurriedly retreated.
Gu Ling'er asked curiously, "Uncle, what is the solution?"
"Ask King Zhao for a marriage."
"Is this okay? But it is indeed a solution."
"As a last resort, don't use it if you can."
"Why is this?"
"In the eyes of outsiders, granting a marriage is like trying to steal love. It will not only enmity with that Li Yao, but also make the Li family unhappy because of embarrassment. Granting a marriage may seem like the best policy, but it is actually the worst policy."
"It's true."
…
When Zhao Jin returned home, he told her that the Marquis and his wife were very interested in the trick of winning hearts, but they also became cautious, and simply went with Zhao Jin to visit Yamazaki.
Yamazaki did not dare to sit down to greet the guests, so he quickly asked the Marquis to take a seat and asked Gu Ling'er to prepare tea again to entertain the guests.
"My son just relayed the words of my husband. They are all good words."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I'm just talking words. My actions depend on the master's luck."
The Marquis smiled bitterly, "To be honest, Miss Fang is the legitimate daughter of the third eldest daughter of Duke Fang's family. However, Duke Fang is wavering in the court, and I don't know whether I should agree to the marriage or not."
"Then, whose family does Mr. Li Yao belong to?"
"The fifth son of Duke Li's family, he is a good match in terms of family background, and my family does not have an advantage. After all, no matter how great his achievements, my son can only be a marquis."
"This is too far away. The Marquis does not need to consider it. Mr. Li Yao wants to accumulate merit and become the Duke of the country. He must first ask his brothers. To put it bluntly, if he wants to compete for merit, it will be difficult for him to survive."
The Marquis handed over his hand and said, "Sir, you are the man of your dreams."
"I don't dare." Yamazaki stood up and returned the greeting.
"Sir, please sit down. There is no need to be polite."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Yamazaki sat down and said, "Is this old man listening to the Marquis because he is afraid of being implicated by Fang Guogong's family?"
The Marquis compiled: "Yes, the Fang family lost power due to a military defeat in the early years, and gained power by supporting the current king's enthronement, and became his majesty's confidant. However, in recent years, there seems to be a gap between them and the king, which makes it difficult for people to judge.
"
Yamazaki cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I see, the old man is here to congratulate the Marquis. The marriage will probably come true."
The Marquis was surprised, "How can you say this?"
"Since Duke Fang belongs to your Majesty, your Majesty will definitely not let him get married to another Duke's family. For the king, only a lonely minister can be in your hands."
"That's it. That's it."
"The Marquis wants to get married to Fang Guogong's family. Your Majesty will not stop him but will approve it. Let me tell you something that the Marquis doesn't like to hear. He is a prince of the royal family and cannot go further. Your Majesty is not worried that you will turn out the palm of his hand.
"
"Well," Mr. Hou shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Sir, what you said is indeed on point."
Mrs. Hou interjected, "Master Hou, don't worry about it. We just want to live quietly and ignore those trivial matters from now on."
"Madam is right. After Jin'er gets married, she will retire from the academy and help at home."
"The child is unfilial and has troubled his parents."
"Silly boy, it is the parents' responsibility to plan for their children."
…
Zhao Jin then rushed to meet his sweetheart and, according to Yamazaki, bought expensive gifts to meet his parents in advance.
The Marquis and his wife were preparing a betrothal gift, and they only waited for Zhao Jin to rescue Miss Fang and play with her before they could make a betrothal gift.
Otherwise, the Fang family is not satisfied with Zhao Jin and does not even give him a chance, so there is no need to go further.
Since he couldn't even win her heart, there was no way to elope.
To hire someone in such a hurry is to cut through the mess quickly and not give the Li family a chance to get involved, so as not to create extraneous problems.
…
Zhao Jin anxiously visited Miss Fang's house with a gift and was allowed to enter.
According to Yamazaki, he successfully met Miss Fang and told her that he would save her, which immediately made Miss Fang very happy.
Then he came out and asked Mrs. Fang to intercede. His deep affection was naturally seen.
However, Mrs. Fang did not dare to agree and vaguely asked him to go back first and come back tomorrow.
…
Zhao Jin didn't sleep well all night. He came to the door the next day with gifts and got in smoothly. He was relieved when he knew that the matter was done.
When I went to the courtyard and saw Miss Fang who had already dressed up and couldn't wait to leave, my eyes widened.
"Silly, what are you looking at?"
"Ah, no, it's nothing."
"Let's go quickly."
"oh."
…
After playing for a day, the relationship between the two increased greatly, and they felt reluctant to leave when they parted.
We agreed to see each other again after the New Year, only to say goodbye step by step.
Zhao Jin then notified his family, and the wedding was put on the agenda.
…
Mrs. Hou came to the door in person, and Mrs. Fang accompanied her. She smiled before saying anything, "My sister was still thinking about how long it would take for the Hou family to come. I didn't expect my sister to come so soon."
"In this case, I will support you and call you my sister."
"Sister, do you think your sister will agree?"
"Sister, don't try to cheat, isn't it already done?"
"Okay, sister understands. It turns out that the young prince came here to test my family's feelings."
"Of course, if you don't give it a try, how will you know that our children are in love with each other?"
The two parents looked at each other and smiled, and the marriage was settled.
Later, the matchmaker delivers the betrothal gift, and the marriage is considered a success, and all that is left is for the couple to get married.
As for Li Yao, he hasn't received any news yet. When he was able to leave home at the end of the year, he realized that in just twenty days, everything had changed.
My girlfriend, my sweetheart, is actually getting married to someone else.
He wanted to make trouble, but neither his parents supported him.
Fang Guogong's family is His Majesty's confidant, and Li Guogong's family cannot marry him. Even if they are willing, neither clan will agree.
Li Yao can marry a royal princess if he has the ability, but he can never marry a daughter of the Fang family. This is politics and taking sides.
