In anger, Zhao Qingshan agreed to the Wen family's cancellation of the engagement.
Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan's marriage was secured by Wen Ziqing himself, who went to General Zhou to negotiate for it. If Wen Ziqing had not agreed to General Zhou's condition that he "marry into the wife's family," the marriage would have been scrapped long ago.
"Brother Wen, just because you say it doesn't count, does it mean it doesn't count? General Zhou remembers it clearly!" Zhao Qingshan pointed to his head and teased Wen Yiran.
Wen Yiran's face fell. He was going crazy.
If Feng Xueying hadn't been dead for a few years and Wu Xiuli hadn't been in jail, Wen Yiran really wanted to find these two women and give them a good scolding.
A good marriage was ruined by two brainless women. Now, his good grandson will become someone else's?
"Brother Wen, please be more open-minded. No matter whether Ziqing marries into your family or not, he will still be a descendant of your Wen family in the future!" Zhao Qingshan comforted Wen Yiran.
How are they the same? How could they be the same? With Ziqing being so talented and Yuanyuan so intelligent, it goes without saying that their future children will be incredibly talented. If Yuanyuan marries into the Wen family, Wen Yiran will have an outstanding great-grandson. If Ziqing "marries" into the Zhou family, this great-grandson will become a member of the Zhou family!
After being "reminded" by Zhao Qingshan, Wen Yiran remembered some of the stupid things Feng Xueying had done before her death.
Feng Xueying disliked Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Yunxiang, and she also disliked the marriage between Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan. At Wu Xiuli's instigation, Feng Xueying had taken Wu Xiuli to the Zhao family to break off the engagement.
But isn't this just a woman's nonsense? Why did Brother Zhao take it seriously?
"Brother Wen, my sister-in-law said she looked down on our Yuanyuan Garden, and you never called to explain. I really thought you looked down on this marriage too, so I agreed to your suggestion to cancel the engagement. I also gave your family's engagement gift to your sister-in-law to take back. My family's engagement gift is the same set of kung fu that Ziqing learned, and it's not easy to take it back, so I just accepted the loss and didn't argue with you." Zhao Qingshan was still a little indignant when he talked about what happened back then.
Since Wen Yiran moved to Kyoto City, he has become a higher-ranking official and his work has become busier than before, and his relationship with Zhao Qingshan has become much less frequent.
Zhao Qingshan actually didn't care that Wen Yiran was busy. When it came to making friends, Zhao Qingshan didn't care whether Wen Yiran had time to eat, drink and have fun. What mattered to him was the heart.
Wen Yiran knew Feng Xueying was wrong for what she did, but he didn't even give Zhao Qingshan an explanation out of consideration for Feng Xueying's face. This made Zhao Qingshan feel disheartened.
Later, General Zhou asked Wen Ziqing to marry into his family before he would continue the engagement between Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan. Zhao Qingshan simply gave up.
Wen Yiran didn't look for him anyway, so why should he offend General Zhou for Wen Yiran?
"Brother Zhao, it's my fault. I think we brothers understand each other's intentions, that's why..." Wen Yiran said here with a frustrated look on his face.
Wen Yiran actually understood that the root of this matter lay with himself.
When Wen Yiran first heard about Wen Ziqing's marriage into the Zhou family, he should have had a proper conversation with Zhao Qingshan. At the time, he felt a little embarrassed to see his old friend because of Feng Xueying's situation. So what happened? He saved face, but ended up giving up his eldest grandson.
"Okay! Old Wen, let's not talk about these empty things. The only way to deal with this matter is for you to go and talk to General Zhou in person, and see if he can be so kind as to let Yuanyuan marry into the Wen family. As for the rest, I really can't help you." Zhao Qingshan patted Wen Yiran on the shoulder and gave him a few "instructions".
"Okay, Brother Zhao, thank you." Wen Yiran rubbed his somewhat stiff face and stood up with a "whoosh".
Brother Zhao was right. He couldn't just watch Ziqing become someone else's family. Although General Zhou was scary, he still wanted to talk to him.
When Zhao Qingshan saw Wen Yiran "blown" out of his house like a gust of wind, the smile on his face immediately fell.
Isn't this considered "eating infidelity"? If Yunxiang knew he was meddling in other people's affairs, she would definitely come back to him and cry. Sigh! Children are all debts!
In fact, Zhao Qingshan was also thinking about Zhao Yunxiang.
How could the fact that General Zhou didn't have much time left be hidden from Zhao Qingshan, the old Chinese doctor who had been taking General Zhou's pulse?
If the Zhou family and the Wen family cannot reach a consensus on the marriages of their younger generations, they will easily become enemies!
Zhao Qingshan could foresee that after General Zhou's death, the Zhou family would certainly be in turmoil. At this critical juncture, it was particularly important for the Zhou and Wen families to maintain a close in-law relationship.
As for whether Wen Yiran could persuade General Zhou, Zhao Qingshan never doubted it.
Zhao Qingshan always felt that General Zhou was not an unkind person. The most likely reason why General Zhou asked Wen Ziqing to marry into his family was that he saw that Wen Ziqing's family was being unreasonable and wanted to vent his anger on Wen Ziqing's behalf.
Wen Yiran arrived at the gate of the military compound and hesitated for a few minutes before he made up his mind to find a guard to inform him.
After the guard made the call, a few minutes later, Wen Yiran saw Zhou Xi who came to greet him.
"My dear father-in-law, aren't you busy? My master is very busy!" Zhou Xi was a little unhappy. General Zhou's time was running out, and Zhou Xi was like an old hen these days, wishing she could watch General Zhou 24 hours a day without missing a second.
If Zhou Xi hadn't been afraid that Xiao Geng and the others were not mature enough and would be tricked by Wen Yiran, he would have been reluctant to come out!
"It's okay. Ziqing's uncle has already arranged the wedding. I came here this time just to ask my father-in-law if there is anything special that I need to tell you." Wen Yiran answered with a smile.
Zhou Xi glanced at Wen Yiran and said nothing more.
The master and Ziqing just made a bet!
General Zhou said that Wen Yiran came here because he must be reluctant to let Wen Ziqing "marry" into the Zhou family.
Wen Ziqing said that it might not be the case. The Wen family members were all a bit cold-blooded. Didn't you see that Wen Yulong, his biological father, hadn't even shown up in the past few days after receiving the news that his son was getting married?
Zhou Xi, always accustomed to supporting General Zhou, felt that Wen Ziqing's words made sense. Zhou Xi had lived for nearly seventy years, and he had never met a father like Wen Yulong. His son was getting married, and the father acted as if nothing had happened.
"Nephew An, is the general in good health these days?" Wen Yiran wanted to get some information from Zhou Xi, so of course he had to find ways to find something to say.
"Yeah." Zhou Xi responded.
When Zhou Xi heard Wen Yiran call him "Nephew An" in such a strange way, the corners of his mouth twitched.
