The most painful torment in the world is waiting. Zhao Rong truly understands this truth.

After accompanying his father Zhao Yuanwai back to his home, Zhao Rong first talked about how he taught himself poetry and quills, and then he couldn't wait to ask his father to fulfill his promise and ask the matchmaker to come to the Mi family to propose marriage. Fortunately, Mr. Zhao was also very trustworthy. He spent a lot of money to hire the most famous matchmaker in Dantu Town that day and asked her to take the gift to the Mi family to propose marriage the next day. He also clearly stated that as long as the Mi family agreed to marry her daughter, no matter how much dowry she would be required, she could discuss it.

Then, naturally, I waited a long time later. I lay on the bed and fantasized about the beautiful scene of holding Mi Ning in my arms. Zhao Rong, who was overly excited, did not fall asleep until the second half of the night. The next day, he woke up before dawn, and then he no longer felt sleepy. He was both excited and anxious. He hoped that the matchmaker could bring good news as soon as possible, and was afraid that things would not go as smooth as he imagined. The Mi family looked down on himself, the rich man in the countryside, and refused to marry his daughter to him. It can be said that the food and food were not good, and he was restless.

Zhao Rong's cheap mother also came to make trouble. First, she criticized Zhao Yuanwai for not neglecting her son's life and death, complaining that Zhao Yuanwai directly asked the matchmaker to propose marriage without discussing with her. She repeatedly praised her niece Xiu Lian's knowledgeable and wise, and insisted that her younger brother's daughter was Zhao Rong's good match. She also threatened early, saying that if the Mi family refused to accept her proposal, she would have to make every effort to match her son and niece of her parents' family. As a result, Zhao Yuanwai, who had long understood the thoughts of her baby son, smiled and didn't say anything. Zhao Rong also felt that in this world, his father was better than his mother.

The matchmaker invited by Mr. Zhao seemed to be deliberately torturing Zhao Rong. He agreed to take a boat to Runzhou City more than ten miles away in the morning to propose marriage. As a result, when the sun sets, the matchmaker holding a cool umbrella slowly came to Zhao's house to report the results. Then, without further ado, before Mr. Zhao could not wait to speak, Zhao Rong could not wait to ask her, "Godmother, how about it? Did the Mi family agree?"

"Young man, it seems that this should be asked by the outsider?" the matchmaker replied with a smile.

"Who asked if it wasn't the same?" Zhao Rong urged impatiently: "Speak quickly, have you agreed?"

"Tell me." Mr. Zhao also spoke and said, "My son has been waiting for you for a day today. Just wait for your news from Mrs. Wang. Tell me quickly. Has the Mi family agreed?"

Zhao Rongru was struck by lightning, and the matchmaker in a slut actually spread her hands, her expression was very helpless. Mr. Zhao also saw something wrong and asked, "What? Didn't you agree?"

"It's not that I didn't agree, it's that I didn't see anyone at all." The matchmaker replied helplessly: "After I went to the Mi family, I didn't see the Mi official from the Mi family, so I didn't have the chance to speak for your family."

"Why didn't you see me?" Zhao Rong asked quickly, "Is he unwilling to see you? Or has he gone out?"

"Not either." The matchmaker shook his head and said, "The servant of the Mi family told me that their family's Alang was sick and was very sick. He could not see any guests, so he could not be the matchmaker."

"Is it sick?" Zhao Rong was stunned and said in confusion: "Is it true? When I saw him yesterday, he was still fine, why did he suddenly get sick?"

"It should be true." The matchmaker replied, "At first, I was a little suspicious that the Mi family officials looked down on me, the matchmaker in the town, and refused to see me, so I asked the servant to lie, so I asked the other servants of the Mi family. As a result, the other servants of the Mi family also said that their Alang was really sick, and said that he was very sick and could not even get out of bed."

Zhao Rong was disappointed and was so angry that he punched the armrest of the chair. Mr. Zhao said, "Dalang, it's okay. Mr. Mi is just sick and will get better. When his illness is cured, Dad will ask Mrs. Wang to propose marriage to you immediately."

"Yes." The matchmaker also comforted Zhao Rong and said, "Young man, don't worry, anyway, I already know the place. In a few days, as long as the official Mi is cured, I will go to the city to propose marriage to the Mi family for you. I promise that I will marry the little lady of the Mi family for you."

Seeing that things had come to this point, Zhao Rong had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, then wait a few more days. But Dad, you have to send someone to the city to inquire more. As long as you find out that Mr. Mi's illness has been cured, you will immediately ask Godmother Wang to propose to me."

"Okay." Mr. Zhao agreed immediately and said, "In three or five days, I will send someone to the city to inquire about the situation."

Of course, the wait was even longer. Fortunately, Zhao Rong also found a way to pass the time for himself, which was to inquire and collect about cotton. As a result, Zhao Rong was surprised that cotton had already spread to the Central Plains through Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and the Silk Road. However, people of this era have never discovered the important value of cotton. Therefore, it is called white ladles and is cultivated as an ornamental plant - and even a few plants are planted in the Zhao family's own garden.

After quickly finding the whereabouts of cotton, the next thing is naturally much easier. First, try to collect more seeds, then pick a piece of the most fertile soil in your own fields and plant them. Then arrange a special person to serve the cotton. Zhao Rong can ignore it and just wait for the harvest of cotton and more seeds.

After arranging this matter, four or five days had passed, and he still fulfilled his promise to his son. Mr. Zhao really arranged a servant to go to the city and asked him to inquire about Mi Youren's condition. As a result, Zhao Rong was helpless and worried that the servant's inquiry was that Mi Youren was still bedridden and refused to meet. Mr. Zhao had no choice but to continue to say to his precious son: "Darang, don't worry, wait for another three or five days, and I will send someone to inquire. As long as Mr. Mi recovers from illness, I will ask Mrs. Wang to propose marriage to you immediately."

Zhao Rong was stunned. Five days later, Zhao Yuanwai sent another servant to the city to inquire about Mi Youren's condition. The result was not only that Mi Youren was still seriously ill, but also said that Mi Youren's condition seemed to be a little bad, and several doctors had changed, but he was a little nervous. As a result, Zhao Rong was a little panicked when he heard this, and thought that Mi Youren's life and death had nothing to do with me, but if he really died, what should I do if my future wife would have to mourn him for three years? Then wouldn't I have to wait for another three years before I could hold my wife in my arms?

There is another thing that makes Zhao Rong even more worried, that is, Zhao Rong can see that Mi Youren does have a good impression of him and praises it, so he may consider his daughter’s marriage with him. However, Mi Ning’s elder brother Mi Xian is not only very unfamiliar with him, but on the contrary, he is also very close to Huang Ji, who also looks at Mi Ning’s tiger-watching Dandan. In other words, if Mi Youren really dies and his elder brother is his father, Mi Xian will have a say in Mi Ning’s marriage. If he opposes his marriage with Mi Ning, Mi Ning’s mother may not be able to make the decision.

When Zhao Rong was in his heart, his father saw another floor and asked the servant who was asking about the news: "Have you found out what disease Mr. Mi had? Why is it so serious? He can't get out of bed and walk around for more than ten days?"

"Report to Ah Lang, I didn't find out." The servant who went to inquire about the news replied: "It's just that he is very ill and has almost invited all the most famous doctors in the city to see."

"It's trouble." Mr. Zhao was also worried like his baby son and said, "If Mr. Mi really can't afford to get sick, then when will our Dalang's marriage be delayed?"

"Dad, why don't I go to the city to take a look?" Zhao Rong came up with a solution and said, "Anyway, I already know the Mi family. I heard that Mr. Mi is sick and went to visit him. I said that he is sick and brought some gifts to visit him and took the opportunity to see what was going on."

After a little calculation, considering that his baby son is becoming more and more obedient when he comes in, Mr. Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, it's a good thing for you to visit him. At least it can give Mr. Mi a better impression of you. In the future, our family will invite someone to propose marriage, and he will be more likely to agree. You go and see what's going on."
