King Duan Zhao Ji is generally a young man who keeps his word and is quite nice to his friends. In order to make his "old friend" Wang Shi be more defamed and better, he has been talking to his brother Zhao Xu a lot. But today, he took Gao Qiu and several other followers to ride a horse to Pan Xiao'an's mansion.

Although Pan Xiao'an's official position was not very high, his family was very rich. The mansion in the west wing of Kaifeng Prefecture City was magnificent and magnificent. The halls, corridors, pavilions and pavilions were staggered, and the ponds and lakes were frozen like a mirror.

"This Pan Shiyi's mansion is also called Xiaopanyuan, which is one of the four gardens in the Kaifeng Prefecture City. The other three gardens are Panjiayuan in the inner city Tianbo Gate, Dapanyuan where the Pan family lived for generations, and the Beiyuan that had just been given to the Left Guard General. In addition to these four mansions, Panjiayuan also owns no less than twenty medium-sized houses in the Kaifeng Prefecture City, and more than ten manors in the west of Kaifeng Prefecture City. Since Taizu and Taizong, the wealth of the Pan family has been first-class."

Gao Qiu rode his horse behind Duan Zhao Ji, and while walking forward, he talked about the situation of the Pan family's generals, his words full of envy.

Although the Gao family where he was located was also a general, it could not be compared with the founding generals like the Pan family. After all, when the founding generals had to give land and houses, Kaifeng Prefecture was not very prosperous, and there were many open spaces in the city that could be used to reward meritorious officials. These land and houses have appreciated a lot now, and any one of them is worth millions of dollars!

In addition, Zhao Kuangyin's policy was to exchange wealth for military power. Therefore, it encouraged the nobles to purchase industries. Therefore, in addition to the land and houses that were granted, the generals at the beginning of the country also entered the industry and commerce through family servants or sects. In fact, these generals and ancestors also entered the industry and commerce when they were warlords, and they needed to make money from industry and commerce to support their soldiers! So this group of people are familiar with their business operations.

Today, a considerable number of the industrial and commercial industries in Kaifeng Prefecture are operated by these founding generals.

The general where Gao Qiu was founded was a little late, and the good land, houses and business in Kaifeng Prefecture were all occupied, so the financial resources were far behind.

Zhao Ji nodded and smiled, "The Pan family is rich and honored by the ancestors, and it has not declined for more than a hundred years, while Wu Dalang is wealthy and honored by himself. Maybe it can be passed down for hundreds of years. The marriage between the two families is also considered a match, right?"

Gao Qiu smiled and said, "Of course, it's a good match. Although Wu Dalang sold paintings on Panlou Street, his ancestors were the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, the King of Taiyuan, and he was also listed in the "Clan Chronicle". The only thing that was near was that Wu Dalang had no official position."

"Isn't it a matter of time for the official status?" Zhao Ji smiled, "He is now the direct commander of the Attorney General, and he can be appointed as an official after another promotion... He went to Liao Kingdom for a walk, but he was afraid that there would be no official when he came back?"

"What the king said is very much."

"By the way, there are also eight characters... Does Wu Dalang's eight characters match Pan Shiba's eight characters?" Zhao Ji was the first time he was a matchmaker. He had no experience. He remembered that he didn't know Wu Dalang's eight characters when he arrived at the gate of Xiao Panyuan.

"They have a combination of eight characters." Gao Qiu smiled, "Xiao Di went to check yesterday."

Gao Qiu asked Lu Qian's wife, Lady Gao, who was a matchmaker and a scrap of the Gao family's generals, so he naturally knew Pan Qiaolian's horoscope. She also knew Wu Haogu's horoscope, which was told by Guo Jing that Guo Jing once wanted to give the girl a little to Wu Haogu as a concubine, so he naturally had to combine the horoscope.

After Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian’s eight characters were matched, they were at least not incompatible.

The two were talking, and suddenly heard a bell ringing.

A carriage stopped from far away and nearer to Xiao Panyuan.

A fat man wearing a green brocade shirt walked down the car. He looked pretty but was frowning. It was Pan Xiao'an, the official Pan.

Pan Xiao'an's mood is like a roller coaster. He was still high up the moment before, looking at all the mountains, but then fell to the bottom of the valley, and it was still a cold and irritating bottom of the valley.

Yesterday, after returning home from Fengle Tower, he didn't even eat dinner, ignored his sister and his wives, and closed the house alone and slept with his head covered. Today, he was also drowsy in the Imperial Guards' Office and ignored anyone. At this moment, he didn't even notice Zhao Ji and Gao Qiu riding their horses, just hiking into the mansion. As a result, Gao Qiu shouted loudly and stopped him.

"King Duan..." Pan Xiao'an turned around, looked up and was stunned, and quickly bowed, "I have seen Your Highness Duan."

Zhao Ji smiled and jumped off the horse's back, "Pan Gong, I have something to look for you today."

"Um?"

Pan Xiao'an was stunned again: If you have something to look for me? Even the 18th is about to elope with the Wu surname, what's the point!

"It's a good thing," Gao Qiu said, "You should hurry up and invite the king into the mansion!"

"Ask, please, please, please."

...

"Pan Gongfeng, I came today for your eighteenth sister."

In the inner hall of Xiaopan Garden, Zhao Ji immediately expressed his intention as soon as he sat down and had not yet come up to order tea.

"For the Eighteenth Sister?"

Pan Xiao'an's eyes widened after hearing this.

What does Duan Wang mean?

Want to marry the eighteenth sister?

No, there was no man who came to talk about this in person, even the prince could not do this.

Do you want to take 18 as a concubine? You can come to the door to propose it directly.

But this...isn't it?

Although Pan Qiaolian is not a legitimate general of the Pan family, she is a general girl after all. It is unruly to be a concubine for the prince. Unless Prince Duan inherits the throne, there will be no problem.

However, it is not impossible for King Duan to really want to take Pan Shibajie as his concubine...

Pan Xiao'an laughed as he thought about it, looked at King Duan Zhao Ji with a smile, and waited for him to continue talking.

"The king is here to talk to Pan Shiba about the matchmaking." Gao Qiu stood beside Zhao Ji, smiling and said, "The man's family is a child of the Wu family in Luoyang, and the 21st generation grandson of the Taiyuan King of the Tang Dynasty..."

The Wu family in Luoyang? The twenty-first generation grandson of the Taiyuan King... Could it be Wu Haogu?

The smile on Pan Xiao'an's face disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "You know this person too. He is Wu Chongdao, the first person in the paintings enthroned by the official family."

It's really Wu Dalang!

Pan Xiao'an was so angry when he thought of Wu Dalang, but now His Highness Duan is the one who is a matchmaker for Wu Dalang! He can't refuse in one go!

Moreover, since King Duan said that he had become a matchmaker for Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian, it means that Pan Qiaolian's dream was broken when she entered the palace and could not marry King Duan, even if she was young, she would not be able to do so. Then Wu Dalang is a good choice.

Wu Dalang is young and rich, and he is in sight. The most important thing is that King Duan Zhao Ji is willing to come forward to serve as a matchmaker for him. This shows that... Zhao Ji likes Wu Dalang very much! And Zhao Ji is very likely to be an emperor in the future. At that time, Wu Dalang will be promoted and wealth with his eyes closed?

The Pan family doesn’t want such a good son-in-law, but some people want it!

Pan Xiao'an was a "banker" in the general's sect. He was very smart and not rigid at all. So when he thought about it, he decided that Wu Haogu was a good son-in-law. However, it was not easy for Wu Haogu to get the eighteenth sister, so he had to torment him for a while.

After making up his mind, Pan Xiao'an bowed to Zhao Ji, "King, I know the person you are talking about, and he is indeed a talented man for a while. However... His ancestor, the warrior, was a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, not a nobleman of the dynasty. And he himself did not have a single official, and after all, he was an official businessman. How could he be worthy of the tiger girl?"

Zhao Ji nodded with a smile, "Isn't it just an official? When he returns to Liao, my sixth brother can always give him an official. If he can't wait for a tribute, I will recommend it, what if I recommend it?"

Although the old Zhao family runs an official hat shop, the number of people that King Duan Zhao Ji can recommend is still very limited. Gao Qiu has followed him for many days, but he has not yet been in office yet!

Now, King Duan is willing to become an official in order to make Wu Haogu a few days earlier, so he took out a recommended place, which shows that he regarded Wu Haogu as a real friend...

"No need!" Pan Xiao'an waved his hand. He would not let Wu Haogu take advantage of this "right" because he knew that human favors were limited. Even if Wu Haogu and Zhao Ji had a close relationship, the less and less favors were used. Therefore, limited human favors must be used in the most critical places.
