Chapter 339 Marriage between two families
This matter was not as simple as Han Yian thought. Regarding the two families and the border town army, it was not something they could have the final say.
When it came to looking for General Han, Han Yian's eyes showed obvious panic, but she didn't like Wan Weiran, she just didn't like him.
"Wan Weiran, how dare you!"
Wan Weiran shrank his body, fearing that this young lady would be unreasonable and hit him again.
"Han Yian, violence can't solve any problems. We're all grown up now, and your tricks won't work at all."
It was impossible for Wan Weiran to hit a woman. Even if Han Yian treated him like this, he would not fight back.
If nothing unexpected happens in the future, this woman will be by his side for the rest of his life. If they hold a grudge against each other for the rest of their lives, then life would be worse than death.
"Then what do you think I should do? There's no way I'm going to marry you, so stop dreaming."
Han Yian has tried all possible methods. She doesn't learn any etiquette or rules and just wants the Wan family to cancel the engagement themselves.
She has her own dreams. The secluded life in the capital is not suitable for her at all, and being a wife and mother is not what she wants.
She just wanted to return to the border town and guard the border for the Dongxia Kingdom. Conquering Xiluo was her life's goal.
"Can you calm down a bit? This situation isn't hopeless. Do you think you'll solve it by beating me to death?"
Wan Weiran's body must have been bruised, and he was in pain all over.
"Do you have any idea?"
Wan Weiran glared at Han Yian: "Yes, but I'm injured now."
Han Yian had a cold face and pulled Wan Weiran up rudely.
"I didn't kill you, why are you so weak? Let me see where you're hurt."
As he spoke, Han Yian was about to lift up Wan Weiran's clothes. This action made Wan Weiran jump back like a frightened bird.
"Han Yian, why don't you act like a girl at all? I'm a man, don't try to take advantage of me."
"Okay, okay! I won't touch you. Tell me, what can you do?"
Wan Weiran stood up, took his horse and walked to Han Yian and said.
"Is this a place where we can talk? It's getting late. How about we go to the Tea House tomorrow and talk this over? Is that okay with you?"
It's okay for Wan Weiran to be a man, but Han Yian is a girl, and it's night time now. Even if they are engaged, it's not good for the girl's reputation for them to stay together so late.
After calming down, Han Yian and the maids and servants following behind her realized that this matter really should not be discussed at this time.
It's not something that can be explained clearly to Wan Weiran in just a few words. The two of them need to reconsider this matter.
"Tomorrow morning at the Tea House, if you dare to play tricks on me, I'll beat you so hard that your father won't even recognize you."
After warning Wan Weiran, Han Yian turned around, got on the carriage, and left with her maid.
As for Wan Weiran, in order not to attract other people's attention, he did not bring any guards with him today, otherwise Han Yian would not have been able to knock him down in such a short time.
Rubbing his waist, Wan Weiran limped away. With his appearance today, the Wan family will definitely receive news tomorrow. It seems that there are still many things to be resolved tomorrow.
……
The next day!
To the outside world, Xiaofu is the owner of the Tea Talk Building, and Wan Weiran is just a guest who comes to drink tea.
To outsiders, his only connection with the Tea Talk Building is the courtyard where he lives now, which is right next to the Tea Talk Building, and the basements of the two houses are connected.
Wan Weiran did not break his promise and was waiting for Han Yian in the private room early.
Leaning against the window, I saw Han Yian, who was wearing a tight red riding suit, entering the Tea House. It was obvious that she had climbed over the wall again.
After a while, the door of the private room in Chayulou was opened from the outside, and Han Yian sat opposite him with his fists clasped.
"Say it!"
Wan Weiran looked at the waiter behind him and ordered, "Bring Miss Han a bowl of wandering mulberry and red date milk tea."
"Yes!"
The clerk went downstairs, and Wan Weiran took out several account books and pushed them in front of Han Yian.
"Before we talk, take a look at this first. You'll probably understand why General Han wants to marry you to me."
Han Yian glanced at the account book on the table, picked it up and opened it. It was full of drug trading records of Wan's Medicine Store.
Each transaction was for medicinal materials obtained in cooperation with the imperial court. All these medicinal materials were sent to border towns for use by the army. These account books contained accounts from recent years.
"Show me what does this mean?"
After just a few glances, Han Yian held up the account book and questioned Wan Weiran, with a firm attitude that no matter what he said, their marriage would be impossible.
“Let me tell you this, these account books are the medicinal materials that Wan’s Trading Company provided to your father and even your grandfather in cooperation with the imperial court.
You've been in the border town for many years, so you should know that our Wan family's medicinal materials have never been in trouble or lacking."
Han Yian had to admit that Uncle Wan did a great job in this regard. She had also heard from her grandfather before that when the quality of medicinal materials was poor in the past, many wounded soldiers in the army could not be saved.
Originally, those people could all survive, but if the medicinal herbs were left in the army for a long time, they would easily become infested with insects.
However, the Wan family's medicinal materials are of good quality, and various emergencies rarely occur. Even if they do occur, Uncle Wan is afraid that the army will not have enough medicinal materials, so he will provide them with supplies at his own expense.
"And then, didn't the court also give you silver?"
For Uncle Wan's sake, Han Yian's expression towards Wan Weiran softened a little.
Wan Weiran pointed out several key points in the account books to Han Yian. He knew that it was impossible for Han Yian to look through the account books by himself.
“The court gave us money, but the roads to the border town were blocked by heavy snow in winter, so Wan had to hire someone to transport the medicinal materials at her own expense so that they could arrive at the border town at the agreed time.
The Wan family also provided supplies. Over the past ten years, they have provided no less than 80 million taels of medicine and grain to the border towns.
These are not things that Wan's Medicine Store should have paid for. My father knows it, and your father knows it too. But why did they still pay this money? It's because of the marriage between our two families.
You should understand what I mean. If there was no such marriage, do you think the court would subsidize you with so much silver?
We also sent coats, tents, and other supplies needed by the army. Just imagine how much our family has sent to the border towns."
His father had never told Han Yian about this matter. The military tents were often destroyed by the Xiluo army, but they were always able to provide accommodation for the soldiers. It turned out that the Wan family was supporting them behind the scenes.
"Did you give it to me?"
"I copied these account books. You can write to General Han and ask him. If I tell you they are fake, you will know once you ask."
Han Yian understood that his grandfather arranged this marriage for her not only to repay his kindness, but more for the 100,000 troops in the border town.
If it weren't for the support of the Wan family, their Han family would not have been able to resist Xi Luo so smoothly. Therefore, for her father and the Han family, she must marry Wan Weiran.
Otherwise, once the Wan family stops supporting her, her father will not be able to support the family alone relying on the small amounts of money in the court.
