Duan Wang Zhao Ji is still a young man who speaks well, and he is also very interesting to his friends, in order to make his "old friend" Wang Xu a little closer, a little better, and he has a lot of friction with his brother Zhao Xu. And as soon as the court dispersed today, he took Gao Yu and a few other entourages and rode to Pan Xiao'an's mansion on horseback.

Although the official of Pan Xiao'an is not big, but the family is extremely rich, the mansion in the west chamber of Kaifeng Mansion is brilliant and magnificent, the palace corridor and pavilion are uneven, and the ponds and lakes are frozen like a mirror.

"This Pan Shiyi's mansion is also known as Xiao Pan Garden, which is one of the four gardens of the Pan family in Kaifeng Mansion City. The other three gardens are the Pan Jiayuan in the Tianbo Gate of the Inner City, the Great Pan Garden where the Pan family lives in the world, and the North Garden Cidi that has just been given to the General Zuo Wei. In addition to these four mansions, the Pan family has no less than 20 medium-sized mansions in Kaifeng Mansion City, and there are more than 10 manors in the west of Kaifeng Mansion City. Among the generals handed down during the reign of Taizu and Taizong, the wealth of the Pan family is also first-class. ”

Gao Yu rode a horse and followed behind Duanwang Zhao Ji, talking about the situation of the Pan family as he walked forward, and his words were full of envy.

Although the Gao family where he is located is also a general, it cannot be compared with the founder of the Pan family. After all, when the founding of the country was given a field house, Kaifeng Mansion was not very prosperous, that is, there were a lot of vacant land in the city, which could be used to reward heroes. And these farmhouses have appreciated now, and they are worth millions of dollars if they take one out!

In addition, Zhao Kuangyin's policy is to exchange wealth for military power. Therefore, the nobles were encouraged to purchase industries, so in addition to the given farm houses, the generals at the beginning of the country also got involved in industry and commerce through domestic servants or Shuzong - in fact, these ancestors of the generals were also involved in industry and commerce when they were warlords, and they needed to collect money from industry and commerce to raise soldiers! So this group of people is also familiar with the way to do business.

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

And Gao Yu's Jiangmen rose a little later, and the good fields, good houses, and good transactions in Kaifeng Mansion were all occupied, so it was a lot worse in terms of financial resources.

Zhao Ji nodded and said with a smile: "The Pan family is an ancestral wealth, which has not faded for more than a hundred years, while Wu Dalang is a wealth that he has worked hard for, maybe it can be passed on for hundreds of years, and the marriage between the two of them can be regarded as a family, right?" ”

Gao Yu said with a smile: "Of course, it is the right person, although Wu Dalang has sold paintings on Panlou Street, but his ancestor is the founder of the Tang Dynasty, the King of Taiyuan, and he is also listed in the "Clan Chronicles". The only thing that is almost the same is that Wu Dalang has no official body. ”

"It's not a matter of time before the official body is official?" Zhao Ji smiled, "He is now waiting for the edict to be straightened, and he can be promoted to another level...... He went to Liaoguo for a while, and when he came back, he was afraid that he would not have an official? ”

"The king is very right."

"By the way, there are eight characters...... Do Wu Dalang's eight characters and Pan Eighteen's eight characters match? Zhao Ji was also a matchmaker for the first time, and he had no experience, and when he arrived at the gate of Xiaopan Garden, he remembered that he didn't know Wu Dalang's eight characters.

"Hey, they're a match." Gao Yu said with a smile, "Xiao Di asked people to check it yesterday." ”

Gao Yu asked people to ask Lu Qian's wife Gao Niangzi, she is a matchmaker, and she is the leftovers of the Gao family's general, so she naturally knows Pan Qiaolian's eight characters. And she also knew that Wu Haogu's eight characters were told to her by Guo Jing - Guo Jing once wanted to give his sister Xiaoxiao to Wu Haogu as a concubine, so naturally she also had to combine the eight characters.

And after Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian's eight characters matched, at least they were not mutually restrictive.

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard a luan bell ringing.

A carriage came from far and near and stopped in front of the gate of Xiao Pan Garden.

A fat man wearing a cyan brocade shirt walked out of the car, with a dignified appearance, but with a sad face, it was Pan Xiao'an, a senior official.

Pan Xiao'an's mood now is like a roller coaster, one moment it was still high above, with a view of the mountains, and the next moment it fell to the bottom of the valley, and it was also the bottom of a cold and biting ice valley.

After returning home from Fengle Building yesterday, he didn't even eat dinner, ignored his sister and wives, and slept alone in the house with his head covered. Today, I was also groggy in the Forbidden Army Office, and no one paid attention to it. At this time, he didn't even notice Zhao Ji and Gao Yu riding horses, so they just drilled into the mansion by themselves. As a result, Gao Yu shouted loudly and stopped him.

"Duanwang ......" Pan Xiao'an turned around, looked up and was stunned, and hurriedly bowed down, "I've seen His Royal Highness Duanwang." ”

Zhao Ji smiled and jumped off the horse, "Pan worship, I have something to look for you today." ”

"Huh?"

Pan Xiao'an was stunned again: Something to find me? Eighteen are going to elope with the surname Wu, and they are still looking for one!

"It's a good thing," Gao Yu said beside him, "why don't you hurry up and invite the king into the palace!" ”

"Please, please, please."

……

"Pan worship, I am here today for the eighteenth sister of your family."

In the inner hall of Xiaopan Garden, as soon as Zhao Ji sat down, before the tea came up, he immediately expressed his intention.

"For the eighteenth sister?"

When Pan Xiao'an heard this, her eyes widened.

What does Duanwang mean?

Want to marry the eighteenth sister?

No, no man came to the door to talk about this in person, even the prince can't do this.

Do you want to take eighteen as concubines? The concubine can be raised directly at the door.

But this ...... Isn't that right?

Although Pan Qiaolian is not the general of the Pan family, she is a general's daughter after all, and it is not in accordance with the rules to be a concubine for the prince, unless King Duan attacks the unification, then there is no problem.

However, King Duan really wants Napan's eighteenth sister as a concubine, and it is not negotiable......

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

"The king is here to tell Pan Eighteen about matchmaking." Gao Yu stood beside Zhao Ji and said with a smile on his face, "The male family is the son of the Luoyang martial family, the twenty-first ......grandson of the King of Taiyuan of the Tang Dynasty."

Luoyang martial arts? The twenty-first grandson of the king of Taiyuan...... It can't be Wu Haogu, right?

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

Zhao Ji smiled and said: "You also know this person, it is Wu Chongdao, the first person in the painting of the Hanlin Painting Academy, who is the official and the first person in the painting. ”

It's really Wu Dalang!

Pan Xiao'an was not very angry when he thought of Wu Dalang, but now His Royal Highness King Duan personally opened Chrysostom to be a matchmaker for Wu Dalang! He can't refuse it in one bite!

And since King Duan opened his mouth to be a matchmaker for Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian, it also means that Pan Qiaolian entered the palace with a "broken dream", and it is impossible to marry King Duan, even if she is small. Then Wu Dalang is also a good choice.

Wu Dalang is young and golden, and his official body is in sight, the most important thing is that Duanwang Zhao Ji is willing to come forward to be a matchmaker for him. This illustrates...... Zhao Ji likes Wu Dalang very much! And Zhao Ji is very likely to be the emperor in the future, and when the time comes, won't Wu Dalang be promoted and make a fortune with his eyes closed?

Such a good son-in-law, the Pan family doesn't want it, some people want it!

In the end, Pan Xiao'an is the "banker" in Jiangmen, and his brain is very bright, not rigid at all. So after thinking about it, I decided that Wu Haogu was a good son-in-law. However, it can't be too easy for Wu Haogu to get hold of the eighteenth sister, so he must be tossed.

After making up his mind, Pan Xiao'an arched his hand at Zhao Ji, "King, the person you said also knows him below, and he is indeed a momentary talent." But...... His ancestor warrior Tong was a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, not a nobleman of this dynasty. And he himself doesn't have an official body, after all, he is a clerk and a businessman, how can he be worthy of a tiger girl? ”

Zhao Ji smiled and nodded, "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, how about I go to protect it?" ”

Although Lao Zhao's family is an official hat shop, the number of people who can be promoted by Duanwang Zhao Ji is still very limited, and Gao Yu has been with him for many days, but he has not yet become an official!

Now King Duan is actually willing to be an official a few days earlier for Wu Haogu, so he took out a quota for promotion, which shows that he regards Wu Haogu as a true friend......

"Not necessarily!" Pan Xiao'an waved his hand, he would not let Wu Haogu take advantage of this "advantage", because he knew that favors were limited, even if Wu Haogu and Zhao Ji had an iron relationship, this favor would be less and less used. Therefore, limited favors must be used in the most critical places.

He said: "Wu Dalang can marry my sister if he wants to, but he must rely on his ability to become an official!" And the official can't be small, the civil official gets the Beijing official, the military attache gets the ambassador's minister, or the imperial examination is admitted, as long as the Donghua Gate is called, he can immediately marry the eighteen sisters. ”
