C16 Happy Day(last Part)
In the blink of an eye, the guests had arrived one after another. Uncle Xiong had already set up a new banquet in the inner hall for Yu Longchen and Yuen Qing.
Most of the guests had already taken their seats and were greeting each other.
Faang Zijun was in the middle of receiving the guests. He did not hear the announcement from the main door, but saw a person walking in by himself. This person was dressed in dark brocade with a dark color. His face was cold and handsome, his facial features were delicate, and his nose was high. His eyes were filled with prestige.
The head of the court was shocked in his heart. Some people even rubbed their eyes, afraid that they were mistaken. After that, seven or eight people stood up at the same time and respectfully said, "This official greets Eldest Prince!"
After that, everyone in the courtyard looked surprised and looked at the person in disbelief. Then, they greeted, "This lowly citizen greets Master Eldest Prince."
Faang Zijun was no exception. He knew that Eldest Prince would win him over, but he never thought that Eldest Prince would personally pay him a visit.
"Haha!" Eldest Prince's laughter contained a trace of guilt. He immediately went forward to help Faang Zijun up. His tone was coy, "You are the one who is overjoyed today. I have come uninvited because I feel guilty. You are acting like this again, and it makes me feel even more uneasy. Quickly rise! "
"Eldest Prince, you're the one who would kill a commoner if you say that." Faang Zijun replied respectfully.
Faang Zijun led Yu Longzi to the main hall and asked the servant to make some good tea.
Faang Zijun asked Yu Longzi to sit at the main seat, and Yu Longzi quickly declined, "Young Master Fang, please take the lead. I am a guest, so why would I take the main seat?"
"Eldest Prince is being modest!"
"I am here today to give a congratulatory gift. I heard that your father likes the wondrous rock." Yu Longchen gave the guard a meaningful look, then carried a huge object over. "Compete with coral and jade. I think your father will definitely like it."
He took off the red cloth and a jade tree appeared in front of him. It was only vermillion and golden in color. Its color was so exquisite that it was breathtaking.
"People say that corals are the only life in jewelry, and the color of the finished products and the flower patterns are all 'unique'!" Faang Zijun also sighed with emotion. "It's true that I saw it today!"
"There's another item that Young Master Fang will definitely like." Yu Longzi was full of confidence. He took out the book wrapped in red cloth. He handed it to Faang Zijun and said humbly, "This book is the only historical book left behind in ancient times - 'Minister'! Although Young Master Fang has 29 of them, it is said that there were originally 100 of them. Although I have only collected 70 of them, it is enough! "
Faang Zijun's eyes were filled with desire. He took the book and carefully flipped through the first few pages. The more he read, the happier he became. He sighed and said, "Such a sacred record, I am actually fortunate enough to read it!"
"I wonder if Young Master Fang wants to make the Fang Clan rise to a higher level?" Yu Longzi lowered his head and drank a mouthful of tea as he spoke.
Faang Zijun carefully placed the books on the table and sincerely said, "I would like to hear the details!"
"Every wealthy merchant wants to become an imperial merchant. This is a supreme honor. Moreover, the profits have doubled. The Ministry of Revenue will definitely make the biggest concession when they turn in the taxes. What do you think, Young Master Fang? " Yu Longzi looked at Faang Zijun with a profound smile.
Faang Zijun composed himself and fell into deep thought. He was not sure about Yuen Qing's relationship with King Chu. If he fulfilled Eldest Prince's wish, wouldn't Yuen Qing be in danger? Eldest Prince was a paranoid person. Who could guarantee that he would not get rid of him in the future? Now that Eldest Prince and Second Prince were competing for the throne, there was a huge disparity between the two forces. If they stood on the wrong side, they would definitely face extinction in the future. Therefore, they could not do it because of Yuen Qing. They bet on the Upper Clan, and Eldest Prince had the Ministry of Revenue. This? This was directly related to the direction of the Fang family's business!
After thinking about it for a while, Faang Zijun could not find a perfect plan, so he could only temporarily remain neutral. After feeling comfortable, he could only pretend to say, "Eldest Prince, please allow me to discuss with my father."
"Okay." Yu Longzi was not in a hurry. Regarding the Fang family, victory was within his grasp. They did not discuss official business anymore. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they left Faang mansion with the excuse that they had important matters to attend to.
Faang Zijun was in the midst of pondering when Yu Longchen came out of the inner hall. He sat down on a stool with an unhappy expression on his face.
Both of them didn't speak. After a while, Yu Longchen raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you wavering? Do you think that only Eldest Prince can lead the Fang family?"
"Then what does Master King Chu think?" Faang Zijun felt helpless in his heart and sighed. Although it was his first time seeing Eldest Prince, he did not really like this person.
"Although Eldest Prince has the Ministry of Revenue. His power is greater than ours, but how do you know we can't defeat him? Is the Ministry of Revenue really as clean as this tea? Let's not talk about other things, just how much tax is the Ministry of Revenue in charge of tax collection, tariffs, and merchants? Could it be that Young Master Fang really believed that all this money had gone into the national treasury? Did he think that the Ministry of Revenue would never fall? In this way, even if the Fang family became an imperial merchant, if something were to happen to the Ministry of Revenue... He's also implicated!" Yu Longchen weighed the pros and cons of the Ministry of Revenue, and his voice sounded somewhat helpless. "I won't force Young Master Fang to stand on my side today, but I also don't want Young Master Fang to help Eldest Prince!"
"How can I not know what young master King Chu is talking about? It's just that I'm still neutral. I don't think that Eldest Prince will let me go. "
"With Master Eldest Prince's character, he will definitely give the Fang family an empty name for the imperial business. However, he will not let the Fang family gain any benefits. Instead, he will use the Ministry of Revenue to make things difficult for Young Master Fang. But it won't be too much! Because he wants to let Young Master Fang know the benefits of helping him and the consequences of opposing him! " Yu Longchen narrowed his eyes, and his gaze was fierce.
Faang Zijun understood immediately. Judging from Yu Longchen's expression, it shouldn't be too difficult for him. He still wanted to say something, but he saw Yuen Qing sticking her head out from behind and secretly looking at them.
Yu Longchen had said what he needed to say. He looked at Faang Zijun. When he saw Yuen Qing, he grinned and said, "Come here quickly."
Yuen Qing walked out happily and sat beside Yu Longchen. She smiled mischievously and teased Faang Zijun, "Zijun, did you forget something?"
Faang Zijun thought for a moment and suddenly got up. He hurriedly bowed to Yu Longchen and ran out.
Yu Longchen looked at the time and knew he was going to pick up the bride. When he thought of the word bride, he subconsciously looked at Yuen Qing who was drinking tea.
When it was Shen Shi's turn, the firecrackers outside the door rang and the gongs and drums rang. The line to pick up the bride had arrived. The newlyweds' parents were also seated in the hall.
Faang Zijun first went to the yard and waited for the matchmaker to carry the bride in. Just as he entered, he heard a clear voice. "Son! Mother missed you so much!"
"Father! Mother!" Faang Zijun saw his parents kneeling and kowtowing. The three of them had tears of joy in their eyes as they greeted each other.
The laughter of the matchmaker outside the hall came in. Faang Zijun walked outside and entered with the bride, holding the colored silk ribbon. He was indescribably happy and happy in his heart. He had waited for twelve years. She finally belonged to herself... His parents were also smiling from ear to ear. It was the happiest thing to see their son get married.
Yuen Qing and Yu Longchen stood in the crowd and watched quietly. Yuen Qing smiled very happily, but her eyes were filled with tears. You must be happy!
The deep voice of the person who praised them sounded, We greet in the temple! One bow to heaven and earth! Second bow to heaven! Second bow to heaven! Husband and wife to each other! After the ceremony, they withdrew from work and were sent to the bridal chamber!
After the two of them bowed to the bridal chamber, the matchmaker personally helped Xiuxiu to the bridal chamber. Faang Zijun followed behind to send her off. The two elders could not stop smiling as they quickly greeted the guests. Yuen Qing followed them and said happily, "I'm here! I'm coming! Go and get busy!"
"Qing!" Xiuxiu happily called out, and Faang Zijun also let Yuen Qing do as she pleased.
The two elders were busy and Faang Zijun had not seen them for a long time. He was happy in his heart. "Dad, Mom, did you have fun? How long are you going to stay this time?"
The business of the Fang family had been handed over to Faang Zijun two years ago, and the two elders went out to play. In just two years, Faang Zijun had raised his business from average to top. His strength could not be underestimated, and roping him in was a great help.
"This child is looking forward to us leaving so much! We are not leaving. We are just waiting to have a grandson! "The woman scolded with a smile. Faang Zijun smiled bashfully, I will let you have a grandchild as soon as possible...
