Chapter 336 Marriage 8
Chapter 336 Marriage 8
The next morning, the two had an argument. Huo Ying wanted to go to the store early to inspect it, but Chen Sanlang held Huo Ying tightly.
"Brother, can you take me to meet Brother Sun first? It won't be too late for us to go inspect the store after we have made an appointment."
Huo Ying always thought that Chen Sanlang was a scholar who was easy to talk to, but she never expected that when he got stubborn, she would not be his match.
There was no choice but for the two of them to rush to the west wall of the Wang family.
There were three double-horse carriages lined up neatly in front of the west gate of the Wang family's house. The servants in front of the door were busy inside and outside and had no time to receive them.
The two maids saw two foreign men standing in front of the door, so they called the doorman out, pointed at the two men and whispered something to them.
Before Chen Sanlang and his companions could figure out what was going on, they saw the nanny pointing instructions at them. Soon, two doormen came towards them.
The concierge rushed Chen Sanlang and Huo Ying around the alley entrance, and even stood beside them, watching them, as if he was afraid that they might do something bad.
The two of them were separated by the west wall of the Wang family's courtyard.
Huo Ying politely asked the doorman about Sun Wei's news, but the two doormen ignored him and just looked at them intently.
An hour later, three carriages came out from the Wang family's gate one after another and passed by the two of them.
The two of them realized belatedly that the Wang family had a master going out, and they were worried that they would disturb others, so they were chased to the corner of the street.
Huo Ying waited for an hour and was about to lose his temper when he saw Sun Wei driving a carriage. He even whipped the horse whip when he saw him.
Huo Ying quickly waved to Sun Wei, and the carriage drove away.
Chen Sanlang understood now. For such a wealthy family, no matter the master or the servants, there are rules for going out and coming home. If he showed up at their door without any knowledge, he would only make others laugh at him.
"Brother Huo, since Brother Sun is not here, let's go back!"
Huo Ying felt angrily that he had waited in vain this morning and had wasted the time of the two people patrolling the store, and he was somewhat unwilling to accept it.
While walking, he complained: "After a few days of talking, he didn't listen. Look how much time he wasted..."
Chen Sanlang was in a very heavy mood and kept his head down and remained silent.
If Wang Jinyi is really the daughter of the Wang family, the gap between me and Wang Jinyi is too big now!
Not to mention the economic and family background, there is a huge gap just in the family background we just saw!
In their previous lives, the two of them could go to school in the same classroom, take the college entrance examination at the same time, have the opportunity to interact with each other, and be able to talk to each other frankly and love each other sincerely. But now, family background is like a chasm that is difficult to cross!
Chen Sanlang was unwilling to give up and was planning a countermeasure! ...
Wang Jinyi, who was in Beining, was also thinking of countermeasures.
What she was thinking about was not how to bridge the gap in status, but how to get rid of the marriage alliance with the Wang family of Beining!
To convince grandfather, all you need is family affection and sincerity, but today the clan leader specially invited the three people from Xunyang Wang's family to his study, so it may be difficult to convince them!
Wang Jinyi lowered his head to think of a solution, and the memories of his past life were unconsciously awakened.
I remembered the advertising slogan of Laojun Mountain that Chen Zhiyuan had always been thinking about: Achieve the right result and finally achieve the right result!
The clan leader mentioned his name. Wang Jinyi looked up and met the clan leader's steady gaze.
"I heard from the head of Xunyang family that he agreed to listen to your opinion on your marriage. I want to know what you think. Tell me!"
Wang Jinyi took a deep breath and mustered up his courage and said:
"Patriarch, grandfather, mother, I really don't want to marry someone I have never met. I hope the elders will forgive me."
The clan leader frowned slightly and looked at Wang Jinyi's grandfather, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Grandfather coughed lightly and slowly said, "Jin'er has not met Wang Wenshu yet, and my Xunyang Wang family doesn't know that child either, so it's not easy to force Jin'er.
In addition, if the two families continue to cooperate in the future, there may be conflicts of interest, and it is even more unsuitable for the children to be in-laws. After all, the more chaotic the relationship, the more detrimental it will be to the children's emotions."
The clan leader met with the Xunyang Wang family alone today because he wanted to hear their opinions, but he didn't expect that he would be rejected by Wang Jinyi right away.
The head of Xunyang Wang family also helped his granddaughter to defend here.
"In fact, the marriage was originally the wish of the Beining Wang family, and now it can also be considered the idea of the clan..."
Ah? Are you using your clan to pressure me?
Wang Jinyi's eyes were red with anxiety, and she was busy arguing: "How can the family understand my happiness and my preferences?
After hearing what Wang Jinyi said, the clan leader smiled and explained:
"You are still young, your preferences will change as your life progresses, and what you call happiness may not be the happiness of your life!"
"You may not quite understand what I am saying, but I believe that Patriarch Xunyang should know the meaning of my words!"
When Wang Jin heard the clan leader scolding his grandfather, he became anxious.
The mother beside her gently pulled at the corner of her daughter's clothes, signaling her not to get too excited, but Wang Jinyi was so obsessed with her past life's feelings at the moment that she didn't care about these things at all.
There is no better time to talk about it now. If my marriage is really arranged by the clan leader and grandfather, I am afraid I will have no chance to object.
So he gritted his teeth, stood up and said directly:
"Blind marriages are only harmful to people, not beneficial. Inflationships between relatives will make clan relations more chaotic, which is not conducive to the management of a large family like the Wang clan!"
The clan leader knew that Wang Jinyi was a girl with unique insights, but he never expected that she would say such words about clan management. He was silent and thought about it.
The grandfather looked at the clan leader worriedly, then at his granddaughter, wondering if he should defend her now.
Wang Jinyi hesitated for a moment and spoke again:
"Patriarch, the interests of the family are of great importance, and we should not only focus on marriage."
The patriarch did not express his opinion after hearing this. He looked at the girl who talked back to him with a gentle expression and did not blame her.
Wang Jinyi was worried that she had not been able to completely refuse. Tears welled up in her eyes and she bit her lip and said:
"Please give me a chance to do what I want to do, and don't force me to get engaged so early. ..."
Grandfather looked at Wang Jinyi's appearance and felt a little reluctant, but he still advised cruelly:
"Jin'er, you must not disobey your elders."
Wang Jinyi's heart seemed to sink to the bottom. She knew it would be too difficult to convince the elders to change their minds.
At this time, the patriarch, who had remained silent, said:
"In this case, there is no rush for this marriage. We can discuss it later."
Wang Jinyi quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Patriarch."
The mother let out a sigh and glanced at her daughter.
She would not blame her daughter for having too many ideas, but would just silently support her.
After hearing what the clan leader said, Wang Jinyi smiled at her mother, and her mother smiled back quietly.
After leaving, Wang Jinyi followed his mother back to Qinfangzhai where they were temporarily staying, and fell into deep thought.
But in the clan leader's study, because the discussion about Wang Jinyi's marriage was still going on, the clan leader said to Wang Minzhang:
"You don't understand the tribe's thinking."
