Chapter 125 Marriage must obey parents

"Yuanhui, why did you suddenly come to Daming Mansion?"

Outside the gate of the old house of Daming Mansion, Pan Yi, the young master of the Pan family, stopped and looked at Mi Youren who was visiting and asked in confusion: "And he also lives in my eleventh uncle's house... Are you and my eleventh uncle so close at times?"

Pan Yi, the young master of the Pan family, wore a Dongpo scarf and a moon-white printed satin gown. There was a sachet tied around his waist, which scented with a faint fragrance, which made people feel refreshed. He looked at Mi Youren with a smile and asked, and a few smiles flowed from his eyebrows.

Mi Youren's dress is much simpler than Pan Yi.

A long blue gown was stained with dust, and the clothes on his body were the simplest. He also had a "scary sword" on his waist, and he looked like he was a military officer who had just returned from the battlefield.

Of course, his outfit is related to his days of running around with Wu Haogu. He rides horses every day, so he naturally doesn't care about his appearance. Moreover, the Hebei region is not calm, so he can scare the bad guys on the road with a sword.

After being a martial artist for a long time, Mi Youren also felt that he was very majestic. He was a general, and his ancestors were already strong. After more than a hundred years of "breding", he was of course the embryo of a burly man. It would not look good if he insisted on pretending to be a "small and handsome man". It would be better to be a martial artist.

So today, I didn't change my dress as a scholar and went straight to the old house of Pan's family. As a result, the servants of the Pan family who were guarding the door didn't believe that the person who came to the Mi Xiangyang family was Mi Youren, the Xiaomi official. If Pan Yi had something to go out, Mi Youren would probably be blocked outside.

"Dalang, this time a certain family is Daming Mansion, which comes with the master, and they also move into Pan Shiyilang's Mansion with their master."

"Your master?" Pan Yi looked at Mi Youren's appearance and thought to himself: He wouldn't have learned martial arts by visiting any of the imperial guards' mentors, right?

Could it be that I feel that Xiwen is hopeless and want to take the Wu Jinshi exam?

"I was worshipped by Wu Chongdao, the first person in Song Hua,"

Mi Youren's next words made Pan Yi startled.

"Wu Chongdao? Is Wu Dalang selling paintings on Panlou Street?"

"It's the master."

Pan Yi frowned and asked in confusion: "Do you know?"

"Of course I know."

"But your family studies are both great at calligraphy and painting. How can you learn from others as your teacher?"

Mi Youren smiled and said, "I don't dare to be outstanding in the painting if I don't worship this teacher. But now... hehe, I'm a little sure of being outstanding in the painting."

"So that's the case." Pan Yi nodded and said, "Yuanhui, since you are a student of Wu Dalang, then I will ask you if you have something."

"What's the matter?"

"Let's talk about it." Pan Yi turned sideways, made a gesture of Suke, and invited Mi Youren into his mansion.

"I want to ask you to protect a mediator."

When we arrived at the inner living room of the Pan family mansion, Pan Yi and Mi Youren had just sat down and had not yet come up to order tea, Pan Yi got straight to the topic.

"Oh?" Mi Youren was stunned and asked softly: "Isn't it for your eighteenth aunt to protect you?"

"Yuanhui was joking," Pan Yi smiled, "How can I, a junior, have you been with Wen for my eighteenth aunt?

I want you to help my seventh sister protect a big media player.”

"You seventh sister?" Mi Youren thought for a while, "Which room is she from?"

“The long house.”

The eldest room is Pan Xiaoyan and Pan Yi’s room.

"The eldest house?" Mi Youren was stunned, "Your sister? I know you all, there is no one in the seventh place, right?"

Pan Yi smiled, "It's my father's daughter whom I recognized from the outside room."

"Unfa" refers to the descendants of Pan Mei's brother Pan You, who has a long relationship with the Pan family, and some of them live in Daming Mansion.

Pan Yi said again: "But both look and character are good... It's no worse than my eighteenth aunt."

Pan Qiaolian was tall and charming, and was stunning, but she was not dignified enough, and did not meet the current standards for the literati and officials to choose a wife. Moreover, her personality was too wild, even in the more open Northern Song Dynasty, it was a bit unsuitable for the identity of a famous lady.

"In addition," Pan Yi said, "My family is willing to accompany a dowry of 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. You can't let your master suffer."

The old Pan family is very thoughtful! Mi Youren said in a heart: If his master is open-minded and abandoned the 18th sister, that crazy girl, he will have a good life in the future...

Thinking of this, Mi Youren smiled and said, "It's a good marriage."

Pan Yi laughed: "That's right, my Pan family has always been convinced by virtue."

"Yes, the Pan family is convinced by virtue." Mi Youren's eyes rolled, "But I can't protect this big media."

“Why?”

"Dalang, you are the junior of Sister Eighteen, and I am the junior of Mr. Chongdao." Mi Youren said, "You said that this junior is not suitable for the elders to be a matchmaker, right?"

When ancient Chinese people got married, they paid attention to the destiny of their parents and the words of matchmakers. Therefore, matchmakers and parents are at the same level, so few juniors matchmakers for their elders.

"That's right," Pan Yi nodded, "Marriage is originally the order of parents..."

Mi Youren smiled and said, "Yes, I think that the military officers from Panlou Street will never reject the Pan family's legitimate daughter, right? Besides, there is a dowry of 100,000 or 200,000 yuan."

"Haha," Pan Yi clapped his hands, "It's right! The parents should have decided on marriage."

Mi Youren nodded and thought to himself: Isn’t he the main marriage of King Duan himself able to decide? In the final analysis, it’s just a word from the Queen Mother!

But can Empress Dowager Xiang look down on Pan Qiaolian?

Thinking of this in my heart, Mi Youren was silent on his face.

Pan Yi asked with a smile: "Yuanhui, who do you think it is better to match Wu Dalang and my seventh sister?"

Mi Youren thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's best to invite people from the Zhao family to come forward for this matter."

"People from the Zhao family" of course refer to the relatives of the Zhao Song clan. Now, the nobles in Kaifeng Prefecture, except for the Pan family, probably hope to match Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian!

Only by squeezing Pan Qiaolian out can their daughter get ahead!

Therefore, the only one who can accomplish this is the Zhao family.

Pan Yi's eyes turned around and soon understood the key. He bowed to Mi Youren and said, "Brother Yuanhui, my father plans to ask the teacher to linger in the old house of Pan's family for a few days and draw a few photos for my seventh sister. I wonder if it is possible?"

"How can't it be?" Mi Youren smiled, "It's better to send the pictures drawn by the master to your seventh sister to King Duan. Maybe King Duan will fall in love with your seventh sister. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Pan Yi smiled and said, "Remind to Brother Xie Yuanhui... That's it!"

This is double insurance!

...

"Okay, then I have to draw some papers for that sister Pan Qi."

When Wu Haogu learned about Pan Yi’s request, he had just returned from Daming Prefecture’s Horse Market and was watching Ximen Qing play with horses in the yard.

He sold a small stallion with a bad temper from Yue He, and it would be difficult to ride if he didn't castrate. Fortunately, this horse was given to Ximen Qing. Although she was a woman, she was also an expert in horses and knew how to train such a fierce horse.

When he heard Pan Yi's request from Mi Youren, Wu Haogu took it for granted that Pan family wanted to give that "Sister Pan Qi" to King Duan Zhao Ji.

Of course, he was willing to succeed in this.

When he married Pan Qiaolian, he would be his own family. If the Empress of Song Huizong's future surname was Pan, he would be a royal relative who was beaten up.

"By the way, what's the name of Sister Pan Qi?"

"The small word is called Su'er."

"Pan Su'er, how old is it?"

"At the age of twelve, it will be thirteen after the Chinese New Year."

Wu Haogu laughed as soon as he heard this: "Is it too young? Can King Duan look down on me?"

Mi Youren smiled and said, "It depends on how you draw your drawing by teacher?"

Wu Haogu thought about it, "I have to draw well... It seems that it will not be possible if I don't show my true skills."

"Really capable?" Mi Youren immediately looked at the teacher with interest, "Your real skill is..."
