Chapter 333 Marriage 5
The person they loved was still missing in the vast sea of people. The search for him had just begun, but there was still no news of Chen Zhiyuan.
Getting engaged soon? What you fear will come true!
If I want to marry someone, it must be someone I truly love, someone who can walk with me through all the beautiful sights in this world.
The Bac Ninh Wang family came with sincerity, but I'm afraid it was a bit wishful thinking.
Family interests are also involved here, so I really need to find a way to talk things out with my grandfather.
The next day, I met my grandfather in the main hall of the front yard.
Wang Jinyi knelt for a long time, unable to get up, with a hint of grievance in his eyes and slightly red eyes as he looked up at his grandfather.
"Jin'er, you've suffered a lot on this trip. Grandfather is responsible! The personnel arrangements at that time...
Before his grandfather finished speaking, Wang Jinyi asked:
"What is the greatest suffering in grandpa's life?"
"Do you want to persuade Grandfather to allow you to continue this journey?"
"Grandfather, the reason why we are human is that we have independent thoughts. If others deprive us of these thoughts, we are no longer ourselves."
"Jin'er, what exactly do you want to say? Tell me and let grandfather listen and see if I can help you.
My son, grandpa is old now and doesn’t want to guess. Just tell me what’s going on.”
"Grandfather, regardless of whether you are a good match or have family security, you have overlooked a crucial point."
"what?"
“People are the two most important people in a marriage!
These two people neither know each other nor know each other, let alone like each other. They don’t even have a common language, so how can they guarantee to be together until old age? "
Wang Jinyi became more and more excited as he spoke. As he spoke, a familiar face appeared before his eyes. The person walked towards him, but every time he stretched out his hands, his figure disappeared.
Wang Jinyi was stunned and spoke what was in his heart.
Grandfather looked at her like this and said distressedly:
"Don't worry, don't worry about the marriage proposal. Grandfather hasn't agreed yet, so you don't have to worry too much. Your family members understand your temperament and character. They won't force a marriage on you and will definitely listen to your opinions..."
Wang Jinyi listened to these words, and all the emotions in her heart seemed to have found an outlet. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. She bit her lip and said:
"Today, Jin'er is here to sincerely beg Grandfather. No matter who proposes marriage to Jin'er, you must ask Jin'er first, okay?!"
Wang Minzhang ordered the nanny to help Wang Jinyi up, and said lovingly, "My dear granddaughter, Grandfather has made a note of it. Don't worry, Grandfather will never make arbitrary decisions about your marriage, and will never let the daughter of our Xunyang Wang family suffer any injustice."
Back at Qinfangzhai, my mother asked, "Your grandfather came here for the marriage with the Beining Wang family, right? What is the attitude of the family?"
Wang Jinyi sighed slightly and said, "I have expressed my feelings to my grandfather. He loves me and promised that he would not make the decision for me casually."
After hearing this, the mother also became firm in her attitude: "Don't be afraid, Jin'er, I won't force you. No matter how prominent your status or how wealthy your family is, it is not as useful as mutual love."
Wang Jinyi felt a little warm in her heart. How lucky she was to have her family to protect her. It reduced a lot of pressure.
Just then, a servant came outside to report that the clan leader had entered the gate, and asked Wang Jinyi to go to the front yard to greet him according to clan etiquette.
This time, with the arrival of the patriarch, the discussion of family in-laws has just begun.
In the room, Wang Jinyi used her healed hand to hold the brush again, feeling the stiffness of her muscles. Her ability to control the brush was not as good as before. She had practiced hard for six years and now had to start all over again!
My general running script is not very obvious, and it is a bit difficult to write the small regular script with hairpin flowers. I tried several pens and several fonts. I put down the pen in disappointment and compared it with my previous handwriting. I felt a little lost.
Just then, a servant came outside to report that the clan leader had entered the gate, and asked Wang Jinyi to go to the front yard to greet him according to clan etiquette.
This time, with the arrival of the patriarch, the discussion of family in-laws has just begun.
"Miss, someone from the front yard has come to inform everyone to gather in the main hall of the front yard."
Wang Jinyi frowned, thinking that there must be something going on as he was in a hurry to report so late and to have all the Wang family members present.
Wang Jinyi straightened her clothes and followed the maid to walk quickly towards the main hall in the front yard.
As soon as I stepped into the main hall, I felt a sense of pressure. People came in one after another and stood quietly in the main hall, waiting.
A quarter of an hour later, the clan elder led the group into the main hall and sat in the upper seat. The head of the Beining family and grandfather sat in the lower seat to accompany them.
Wang Jinyi took advantage of the chaos of people giving up their seats and stole a glance when no one was paying attention. Wow! Her eyes met with the expressionless patriarch's.
He quickly looked away. Why is the clan leader here? This was the first time he had experienced such a scene. After all, he had never been back to his hometown in Langya to worship his ancestors. He had never seen so many clan members gathered together. He was really shocked!
Wang Jinyi wears a white jade pendant and can participate in all family activities, but she is ranked at the back in terms of seniority.
The clansmen lined up according to their seniority, with four people in a row kneeling down and bowing together.
Wang Jinyi thought to herself, why am I the only woman here? !
Perhaps because of this special reason, after the other four people knelt down and it was Wang Jinyi's turn, he knelt down and kowtowed alone.
According to clan etiquette, someone called Wang Jinyi and he stood up silently, took three steps back and stood behind the line.
Everyone in the lobby greeted each other and sat down in an orderly manner on the large chairs with their names on them as instructed.
Wang Jinyi discovered an interesting change. He was not placed in the corner, but in the third row, in the middle among the boys of the same generation as his brother.
Because he was not tall enough and it was inconvenient for him to get on and off the chair by himself, his footstool was raised just enough for him to stand up and answer questions. This was the first time that Wang Jinyi realized how serious and meticulous the Wang family was in their work.
Before he finished his desertion, the clan leader began to speak, and the hall was completely silent;
"I'd like to take advantage of the gathering of the Wang family of Beining to talk about two things. The first school established by the Wang family of Langya and the Wang family of Xunyang for the children of officers and soldiers in the border town has been completed. There are two requirements for the Wang family members: they are not allowed to participate in management in any form and take advantage of the opportunity.
You are not allowed to publicize that this is a school invested and established by the Wang family. If any member of the clan violates the above two rules, they must be stopped immediately, otherwise they will be punished together with the person involved and punished according to the clan rules. "
The patriarch paused and looked around at everyone. Seeing that everyone nodded seriously, he asked again:
"Do you understand the meaning of this?"
Everyone nodded silently, and the patriarch continued:
"The Ministry of War has rewarded the Wang family for helping the Patrol Division defeat the enemy. There will be more royal rewards in the future. The clan has decided to let the Beining Wang family take over the reward. Does the Xunyang family have any objections?"
Wang Jin understood what the patriarch meant as soon as he heard it. What the emperor feared most was the civil officials and military generals forming factions, and he was even more afraid of the major families and local military generals forming secret alliances.
It would not be surprising if the Beining royal family accidentally discovered the northern barbarians, reported the enemy situation to the city patrol, and helped the city defense soldiers defeat the enemy.
You have to know that Beining Prefecture is a border town, and the Wang family of Langya is a large family, so they must avoid suspicion in order to reassure the emperor.
