Chapter 1190 Lobbyist
Wang Yue felt a little disgusted when he saw Old Mrs. Ye forcing him so much, and he said expressionlessly, "Then just let Old Mrs. Ye tell you!"
Seeing that Wang Yue was unhappy, Mrs. Ye sighed, and she said helplessly, "To be honest with you, Mr. Wang, the Gu family in Guizhou sent someone to post a message saying that they would come to visit you the next day. Mr. Wang You are extremely smart, you should understand what it means if you think about it.”
Wang Yue saw that the old lady failed to be affectionate and started to be rational again. He couldn't continue to be angry, otherwise he would appear to be a little petty.
He thought about the news he had received that the emperor was planning to arrange for Princess Yunshang to marry into the Gu family, and he asked with some confusion, "The Gu family is planning to arrange a marriage for Gu Jiusi before the envoy arrives?"
Mrs. Ye was very impressed to see that Wang Yue could still speak well in this situation, which made her very impressed. If she was only interested in Wang Yue's family background, now she is even more impressed by Wang Yue.
In the coming troubled times, Wang Yue's character is very adaptable to the current way of survival.
She didn't hide anything, and said in a very embarrassed tone, "Boy Wang, you also know that although the Gu family is a merchant, Gu Jiusi's uncle's family is a minister of civil affairs, and the princess of Liang Wang, who is the minister of household affairs, , and she is sworn to Jinlan, the eldest wife of the Gu family. Her background is too strong, and it is hard for us to offend her. Our two families have a close relationship, and Yun'er is too simple. I really don't trust her to follow the number one in Jiangnan. Dandy. Of course, if you really despise my girl Yun'er, I won't force you."
Wang Yue was a soft-spoken guy, not a tough one, and the other party almost begged him. He felt that he could meet Miss Ye's family. Even if he couldn't marry Miss Ye's family in the future, he would still help him reject the in-laws of Gu's family.
However, just as he was about to ask Mrs. Ye to arrange a meeting, he suddenly thought that he was going to the Gu family tomorrow, and he thought he might be able to get the Gu family to change their mind.
So, he bowed to the old lady, and then said seriously, "Old lady, I don't know, I have sent a greeting to the Gu family, and I will visit the Gu family tomorrow. I think it is for this reason, They just arranged to come to the house the day after tomorrow, why don't I go to Gu's house tomorrow to find out more?"
The old lady didn't expect Wang Yue to say this suddenly, but she saw that Wang Yue didn't refuse directly, and she understood what Wang Yue meant.
Probably Wang Yue wanted to go to the Gu family to persuade him. If the persuasion was successful, then they wouldn't have to go to such trouble.
In this case, the old lady didn't force herself anymore. She showed a kind smile and said to Wang Yue, "No matter what, I will thank Mr. Wang on behalf of my Yun'er."
Wang Yue said a few words to Mrs. Ye very politely, then left and returned to the courtyard where he lived.
…
Early the next morning, Wang Yue brought some gifts and came to the Gu family with the Wang family's servants.
When he arrived, only Mrs. Jiang, the eldest wife of the Gu family, was waiting there. Gu Jiusi and Gu Jiusi's father Gu Langhua were not there.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yue saluted Jiang and then sat down.
After Jiang and other servants served Wang Yue tea, he said politely, "Master Wang, I'm so sorry, my child is really naughty and is being scolded by his father right now. The Gu family does not mean to be negligent. "
Wang Yue took a sip of tea, and then said casually, "Who in Yangzhou City doesn't know that the Gu family has the final say. The eldest lady is here to entertain guests, which already shows the sincerity of the Gu family."
When Jiang saw what Wang Yue said, although she felt very comfortable, she still quickly made up for her husband-in-law. After explaining it to Wang Yue seriously, she asked curiously, "I heard Mr. Wang's post saying, Do you have something to discuss with our Gu family?"
Wang Yue nodded and said with a serious face, "Mrs. Gu's brother holds an official position in the court, so he must have his own understanding of major world events. Do you think the emperor's marriage grant is a big deal for the Gu family? Disaster?"
Jiang didn't expect Wang Yue to mention this matter, so she asked with caution, "Is Mr. Wang here to be a lobbyist? I wonder if he was entrusted by my brother or the Prince of Liang?"
Wang Yue waved his hand and said casually, "The purpose of my coming to Yangzhou is indeed to be a lobbyist, but my original purpose was to invite the Gu family to Qingzhou for development. With my father in Qingzhou, it is like a fairyland, which can ensure that the Gu family Peace and obedience there.”
When Jiang heard what Wang Yue said, he asked with some confusion, "What is your purpose now?"
Wang Yue smiled and said nonchalantly, "Mrs. Jiang must also know that the cloak that your master gave to keep out the cold. Although he gave the horse back afterward, after all, your master has a pure heart and cannot bear to let him become someone else." Fish on the chopping board.”
When Mrs. Jiang heard what Wang Yue said was scary, she said unhappily, "My Gu family are not the kind of people who have no one to rely on. Otherwise, the family would not have developed to this point, and no one can offend anyone." of."
Wang Yue smiled. He didn't know whether Mrs. Gu was pretending to be confused, or whether she was just good at business and didn't have a thorough understanding of world affairs, so he didn't speculate, but said seriously, "But has Mrs. Gu ever thought about it?" ? Once you cancel the princess's marriage, your brother and Prince Liang will definitely be disgusted by the emperor, and their official positions will not be guaranteed. Do you think someone will no longer be scrupulous and take action against your Gu family? "
Jiang couldn't help being stunned when she heard Wang Yue's words. She just didn't want her son Princess Shang, but she completely forgot how much trouble her brother and Prince Liang would face once the Gu family refused.
You know, the Gu family, a merchant, would have been eaten alive by local officials if it weren't for his brother and Prince Liang who were taking care of them in the court.
When she thought about the seriousness of the matter, she didn't understand what her brother meant. She said anxiously, "Is it that serious?"
Wang Yue nodded and said very seriously, "It's very serious. The emperor is also interested in the Gu family's money. If the Gu family doesn't give face, in the eyes of the emperor, it means that the Gu family doesn't give face. After all, the Gu family is just a businessman. Marrying The coming of a princess is already a huge favor from the emperor, and the Gu family has no confidence to refuse, so it can only be what your brother and Prince Liang want."
Jiang couldn't help but stood up and paced back and forth in the hall. After being reminded by Wang Yue, she knew that once she offended the emperor, her brother would definitely have a difficult time in the court and he would not be able to protect himself. Bad luck will follow. At that time, everyone can attack their Gu family.
Thinking of this, she said reluctantly, "Does it mean that we have to sacrifice our children?"
Wang Yue smiled and said calmly, "Actually, everything can be discussed."
Seeing Wang Yue speaking so firmly, Jiang asked curiously, "I wonder how Mr. Wang thinks we can talk about it?"
Wang Yue smiled and said calmly, "It's just a waste of money to eliminate disaster, what else can we do?"
When Jiang saw that Wang Yue actually asked her to choose to spend money to eliminate the disaster, her head suddenly became clearer. After all, for businessmen like them, money is more important than life.
She thought that Wang Yue was living in the Ye family, and asked with some suspicion, "Master Wang, are you not entrusted by the Ye family? That's why you came to persuade us to agree to this son's marriage. If If the Ye Jia family doesn't agree to marry their daughter, our Gu family won't force it."
Wang Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He put down the tea cup in his hand and said calmly, "The second purpose of the boy is to talk about the marriage between Ye and Gu. Of course I know that Gu Jiusi is not the playboy he appears to be, but So what? No matter who marries the Gu family now, they will offend the Da Rong royal family. In the future, if the children in the family want to be officials in the court, it will be difficult. The Ye family is a clean stream, are you not ruining their family? future?"
Seeing what Wang Yue said so straightforwardly, Jiang couldn't help but frown, and she said with some embarrassment, "If the Gu family and the Ye family join forces, even if it is more difficult in the court, there will be no room for disgrace." Come and challenge us."
Wang Yue finally saw that this was a person who loved children without any bottom line. Her brother had already been buried in some unknown corner.
He could only sigh that Father Gu was so lucky to meet such a woman who only cared about her husband's family, not the legendary Voldemort.
Of course, there is also a possibility that the Gu family has already made up its mind and has its own plans, or they simply don't believe in themselves.
Wang Yue also understood that the other party firmly wanted to refuse the princess's marriage, so he no longer forced it, immediately changed his purpose, and immediately asked tentatively, "If you want to come to the Gu family to refuse this marriage, I have already found one." The way out is that we, the Langya Wang family, don’t want to be this evil person and continue to force themselves, but we don’t know if we can reach cooperation with the Gu family.”
When Jiang saw that Wang Yue was not forcing them to agree to the marriage, she asked curiously, "Young Master Wang can see so clearly. He should understand the situation that the Gu family will face. I wonder how you want to cooperate? "
Wang Yue smiled and said very firmly, "Since Mrs. Gu insists on refusing Gu Jiusi to marry the princess, there must be a perfect plan. But I think it's better not to put the Gu family's eggs into one basket. First, just put some silver coins Transported to Qingzhou, our Qingzhou can ensure that the Gu family will not be disturbed. The other one? It is the business that the Gu family is planning to abandon, but it can be given to our Qingzhou Wang family. Come to think of it, no one who is blind will dare to embarrass our Qingzhou."
Seeing what Wang Yue said, Jiang felt that there was no harm at all. She said somewhat seriously, "Young Master Wang is willing to go out of his way to help. I wonder what you want?"
Wang Yue waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "I also have some specialties in Qingzhou, and I want to sell them to all the thirteen states of Darong. However, the world is in chaos and business travel is difficult. Then we will need the help of the Gu family."
Seeing that the conditions proposed by Wang Yue were so simple, Jiang was a little suspicious. She asked with some uncertainty, "Is it that simple?"
Wang Yue nodded and said very seriously, "Of course it's that simple. You don't think we will take the Gu family's property by force, do you? Our Langya Wang family is a thousand-year-old family, and we can't do such a thing."
Jiang felt relieved when she saw that Wang Yue didn't look like he was joking. She felt that if it was just like this, it would not be impossible to agree.
So, she politely told Wang Yue that she needed to discuss it with her husband and give Wang Yue an accurate letter in a few days.
Wang Yue didn't force it, and he wouldn't let others agree immediately, so he said goodbye politely and left. Anyway, if he couldn't cooperate, he could do it himself.
…
When Wang Yue returned to Ye's house, the old lady couldn't wait to call Wang Yue over.
After the maid served Wang Yue tea, Mrs. Ye asked anxiously, "Mr. Wang, what do the Gu family say?"
Wang Yue took a calm sip of tea, and then said in a deep voice, "I didn't see the head of the Gu family, but I chatted with Mrs. Jiang for a while. She said she wanted to discuss it with the head of the Gu family, but I judge that they will still refuse with a high probability. Gu Jiusi was asked to marry the princess. After all, once he marries the princess, the Gu family's money will be gone. However, the Gu family does not have Miss Ye, so under the current situation, the young masters in Yangzhou City's trial marriage may be their targets. "
Seeing what Wang Yue said, Mrs. Ye sighed. She knew it would not be easy to convince the other party, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult.
The old lady has already heard what Wang Yue means, that is, the Gu family does not necessarily want a girl from the Ye family to get married, so as long as the Ye family insists on refusing, the Gu family will not force it.
So, she spoke politely to Wang Yue for a while, and no longer forced Wang Yue to look at Ye Yun'er.
But she did not sit still and arranged for someone to go to Qingzhou by sea to deliver a letter expressing her intention to marry.
Wang Yue didn't know what Mrs. Ye had arranged. After he came out of the old lady's place, he was going to go to his small courtyard.
But as soon as he entered the courtyard, a group of people broke in, led by a little girl. After she entered, she stepped back and said with some annoyance, "Young Master Wang, what's wrong with me? Does it make you look down on me so much?"
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows. Listening to the girl's tone, he knew it was Ye Yun, the young lady of the Ye family. He looked carefully and found that she was indeed a little beauty.
This was in ancient times. If he didn't object to marrying more women, he didn't think Ye Yun'er would follow him as a child.
So, he said politely, "Sister Yun'er is indeed good-looking, but I met Miss Liu first. If I had to do it over again, I would definitely stay at home and get to know Miss Liu first."
Seeing what Wang Yue said was fun, Ye Yun'er suddenly put away her serious face and said seriously, "But Sister Liu and my brother are in love, you can't steal my sister-in-law."
Wang Yue was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that someone else would interfere with who he liked, so he said very dissatisfied, "Your Ye family and Liu family haven't hired anyone yet, and there are still variables. You'd better not think about these things, but think about you." Go ahead yourself, then the Gu family may come to hire you one day, and you will marry Gu Jiusi."
After hearing Wang Yue's words, Ye Yun'er pouted in dissatisfaction. She was not in the mood to argue with Wang Yue, so she stamped her feet and said angrily, "It's so annoying! Just say some disappointing things! "
After she finished speaking, she immediately left the courtyard and left with his maid.
After she left, Wang Yue shook his head helplessly. This little girl was quite straightforward. It would be fun to marry her home.
