Chapter 104 Ji Xiaohan's Promise
Let’s talk about the study here.
"Prince Xiao, I'm sure you can guess why the three of us, father and son, invited you to our study. So I'll get straight to the point." Meng Yuanliang dismissed his attendants and stood beside Ji Xiaohan with only his two sons, clasping his hands.
"We are all family, so it's okay for Mr. Meng to speak frankly." Ji Xiaohan had just exchanged glances with Su Wanyan, thinking that the little princess should be able to understand. Now, after hearing what Meng Yuanliang said, he had almost guessed what the father and son were going to say next.
Meng Lianyu and Meng Xiashen looked at each other and bowed along with their old father.
Meng Yuanliang: "Prince Xiao, you also know that our Meng family is a group of merchants with no special skills. We don't have much else to show for ourselves. We do have some experience in business. The Meng family has branches all over the Great Zhou Kingdom. If you, Prince Xiao, don't mind, our Meng family is willing to follow you, but we ask..."
Ji Xiaohan noticed that Meng Yuanliang was hesitant to speak, "Mr. Meng, even if you don't take the entire Meng family and the hundreds of shops under its name, I will treat Wanyan well, please rest assured."
Meng Yuanliang and his two sons were delighted. "Yes, we are short-sighted. However, since you, Prince Xiao, know that our Meng family has hundreds of shops across the country, if you need anything, as long as we can help, the Meng family shops are willing to serve you secretly."
Meng Yuanliang had said so much, and if Ji Xiaohan didn't accept it, it would seem that he was not magnanimous enough. Then, he smiled and took out the jade pendant he was wearing from his waist, saying: "Since that's the case, then I accept it. This is my personal jade pendant. If anyone brings a token like this, they will be my people."
"Yes." Meng Yuanliang took it respectfully and put it away carefully.
Ji Xiaohan looked at the two brothers, Meng Lianyu and Meng Xiashen, and then took out a densely written list from his pocket and said with a smile: "The Meng family has been honest with me, so I must reciprocate. The Meng family's shop can negotiate with all the shops listed here in the future. These are all my private businesses."
Meng Lianyu and Meng Xiashen quickly took it, unfolded it and took a look. They couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Any of the shops on it would be bigger than their Meng family's shop circle.
They had just surrendered all of the Meng family's shops to Prince Xiao, which seemed a bit too high-handed and inconsiderate. As a result, Prince Xiao was not angry at all and even wanted to do business with them...
This list was definitely not written on a whim; it must have been drawn up long ago. This shows that no matter whether the Meng family members submit to Prince Xiao or not, Prince Xiao is willing to help them.
At the same time, Prince Xiao was also telling the Meng family in this way that although Prince Xiao was like this now, he was just a dragon lying in shallow water.
"I brought Wanyan here late at night for no other reason. Firstly, we will be leaving for the next town tomorrow, and time is running out. I can see that Wanyan is worried about you, and I'm afraid she'll be hurt if I don't come home. Secondly, I want you to know that although Wanyan was forced to marry me by circumstances, she is my legitimate wife. Her father treated her poorly, and her mother passed away early. I'm telling you this: I will protect her well and will never let her suffer the slightest."
