Because of Liu Yue'er's obstruction, Tian Qinan was unable to meet with the matchmakers, so he had to take the initiative to make an appointment with the matchmakers. When the matchmakers saw Tian Qinan being so proactive, they knew there was a chance.
For the sake of the huge sum of money, he wished he could let Tian Qinan marry into the prime minister's mansion that very day.
Tian Qinan looked at the matchmaker in front of him and asked, "My cousin shouldn't be at the Prime Minister's residence. Isn't he out hunting? And the Prime Minister's wife isn't here either. Who is going to arrange a marriage for my cousin?"
The matchmaker's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she smiled and replied, "Yes, Lord! Lord, you know that the Tian family has had some conflicts with their residence, but thinking that his own son is a bit disappointing, if you don't mind, Miss Tian, I will arrange your marriage so that the two families can reconcile!"
Tian Qinan looked at the matchmaker with suspicion, but she couldn't see any deception.
"Prime Minister? If I agree, can you make the decision and propose marriage for my cousin?"
The matchmaker nodded vigorously: "Of course, of course. As long as you agree, Miss Tian, tomorrow, tomorrow we can send the betrothal gifts to your home. When the young master returns from the hunting ground, you can get married in a sedan chair!"
"Besides, who doesn't know that the prince took the young master with him when he went hunting? The young master was originally a military man. If the emperor noticed his hunting trip this time, he might even be reinstated!"
The matchmaker's festive smile was pleasing to the eye. At present, Tian Qinan had no idea of her future, and marrying Ni Hongbo would definitely be a way out.
Seeing Tian Qinan remained silent, the matchmaker said anxiously, "Miss Tian, forget it! Even if this young master is a concubine's son, he's still your only child. If you marry him, he'll be the principal wife! You won't have to worry about not having wealth and honor in the future. The Prime Minister is also favored by the Emperor. If you marry him, you'll definitely be able to hold your head high!"
Tian Qinan's mouth curled up slightly: "Okay, reply to the Prime Minister for me and tell him that I agree!"
The matchmaker grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. She reached out and held Tian Qinan's hand, then asked, "Then Miss Tian, don't forget to tell your father about this. This is a big deal, getting married, and your father has to agree!"
"clear!"
In order to settle the matter as soon as possible, Tian Qinan sent his servants to the hunting site to convey the news on the day he returned to the Shangshu Mansion.
In the hunting ground, Tian Yongchang was sitting with a group of bureaucrats. At this time, a servant walked towards him slowly and whispered a few words to him. Tian Yongchang's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he stood up.
When he and the servant walked to a deserted place, he asked again uncertainly, "What did you just say? Say it again?"
"Master, the eldest daughter has agreed to marry the young master of the prime minister's mansion!"
"Young Master of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Which one? Ni Hongbo?"
"Master, you are confused. There is only one young master in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Tian Yongchang was very surprised. How could this happen?
Seeing Tian Yongchang frowning deeply, the servant spoke up, "Master, you should know our young lady's reputation. She was raped by a thief... and divorced by the prince. She even made a scene at the door and tried to commit suicide. This... cannot allow her to marry into the royal family. The Xiangfu family is also considered a top-tier dignitary in the court."
Tian Yongchang frowned and glared at the servant: "Do you still need to remind me of these?"
The servant shut up consciously, lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Go and call Ni Hongbo."
Soon Ni Hongbo came over here. Tian Yongchang called him alone, which surprised him a little: "Uncle, are you looking for me?"
Tian Yongchang frowned: "Come here!"
Ni Hongbo walked closer to Tian Yongchang, and Tian Yongchang asked, "When did you fall in love with my Qinan?"
Ni Hongbo looked at Tian Yongchang in surprise, not understanding what this meant.
Seeing his eyes full of confusion, Tian Yongchang explained, "Aren't you interested in my Qinan and planning to marry her? And you're going to make her your wife, not your daughter! How come I've never heard you mention this before?"
Ni Hongbo looked at Tian Yongchang in confusion, then said awkwardly: "I didn't, uncle, who told you that? How could I marry my cousin? I don't have an official position, I'm not worthy!"
Ni Hongbo didn't take this matter to heart at all. He just thought that Tian Yongchang was just listening to other people's gossip and talking nonsense.
But the servant standing by said solemnly, "Master, you didn't know about this? The Prime Minister has sent seven or eight famous matchmakers from the capital to your house to persuade my young lady! The engagement will be announced soon!"
Originally, Ni Hongbo looked calm and thought it was just a joke, but he didn't expect it to be true?
His expression immediately turned serious, and he looked at the servant in surprise. Tian Yongchang frowned beside him, "It seems you know nothing. It's your father who's making the decision for you. You'd better hurry back to the capital. Don't wait until you object and your father insists. In the end, it's our Tian family that will be embarrassed!"
As he said this, he snorted, quite displeased. Ni Hongbo obviously disliked Tian Qinan!
Ni Hongbo's expression changed, and then he said, "I'm fine, I'll go back!"
He turned and walked away, looking very anxious.
In the capital, a young man, with his clothes flying, rode his horse at full speed, and rushed back to the prime minister's residence under the cover of night.
The gate of the Xiangfu Mansion was already closed. He quickly dismounted, walked to the door, and knocked hard: "Someone, open the door!"
Soon a servant came to open the door, but unexpectedly the person knocking on the door was Ni Hongbo: "Master, why are you back?"
"Where's Daddy? Where's Daddy? I want to see Daddy!"
"It's so late, the master must have gone to bed. What urgent matter has made you rush back so anxiously?"
