Chapter 263 Prime Minister Arrives
Otherwise, how can one say Song Zhiyuan is a devoted son? The dignified Prime Minister even takes the trouble to handle small matters entrusted by his mother, such as securing a match.
Song Zhiyuan was moved by himself.
In fact, according to his true thoughts, since Yan Zisheng comes from a poor family without any assistance, finding a wife from a family with a better background would provide more support for his official career in the future.
However, since it was a request from his mother, he had also investigated the background of that Miss Wang and found her to be capable and straightforward. Having such a person as a wife could ensure peace and tranquility in the inner quarters. After all, one virtuous wife can benefit the prosperity of three generations. If the lady of the house is sensible, the man can proceed without worries.
As for assistance, he had high hopes for Yan Zisheng; at worst, he could be his own support in the future.
Of course, it also depends on whether he agrees or not.
As he walked to the front of the South Garden, it was not entirely quiet; faint sounds of an argument could be heard coming from inside.
Song Zhiyuan frowned, and the guard beside him said, "Prime Minister, shall I call the door?"
Upon entering the courtyard, the sound of the argument came from Yan Zisheng’s room. His young attendant, Shanhe, was at the door, anxiously clenching his fists, eager to rush in.
Out of the corner of his eye, Shanhe saw Song Zhiyuan enter and widened his eyes, about to kneel and salute immediately.
Song Zhiyuan, however, raised his hand, placed a finger to his lips, and shook his head, signaling him to keep silent.
Shanhe’s heart skipped, but he didn’t dare to disobey, desperately wishing he could secretly transmit a message to the young master that the Prime Minister was here.
Transmit a message he could not, so he could only silently pray to Buddha for protection, hoping the young master wouldn’t be provoked by that ill-fated Wu Xiuquan and say something unpleasant for the Prime Minister to hear.
