Chapter 31: Fake Engagement
Zhao Wan'er was silent, Su Ziheng blinked innocently, and said in his heart: "You don't speak, what do you mean?" It's hard to say that I took the initiative to propose to you, but in case I misunderstand Zhao Chengwen's meaning, your father and daughter didn't plan to do so at all, wouldn't I be ashamed to throw it to the end. ”
The atmosphere in the room was quite awkward for a while.
Zhao Chengwen looked at his daughter, then at Su Ziheng, and said: "Master Su, my Zhao family is in trouble at present, I hope that Master Su can help, and the Zhao family will be grateful in the future." ”
Su Ziheng said: "Can you elaborate on it, if you can help, there is no difference between the top." ”
The implication is that if the strongman is difficult and really can't help, he can only apologize. will not stick his own life into it for the sake of the Zhao family. As for that item and White Deer Academy, I will find a way to get it back.
Zhao Chengwen said: "It's not a big deal, I just want Su Gongzi to get engaged to the little girl." ”
Seeing Su Ziheng's surprised expression, Zhao Chengwen said quickly: "Master Su, don't get me wrong, it's just a fake engagement." Let the son cooperate with my Zhao family in front of the outside world to play a scene. ”
Su Ziheng suddenly realized, and said in his heart, I said where did such a good thing come from in this world, someone would give his daughter to himself, it turned out to be just acting.
"Why me?"
Zhao Chengwen sighed and said: "Right now, the Zhao family can't find a more suitable person than Su Gongzi's identity. My Zhao family is also considered to have a head and face in Xining City, if I can, I will naturally find a good person to act. ”
"But who is the right person with the Zhao family, who will cooperate with the Zhao family to act? If it is inferior to the Zhao family, under the pressure of Xu Zhizhou, he will not dare to do so. But if you find someone to engage to the little girl, do you think the Xu family will believe it? ”
Su Ziheng laughed, and then his tone turned cold, "Then why does Master Zhao think that he is not afraid of Xu Zhizhou's pressure?" Even if he is engaged to Miss Wan'er, will the Xu family believe it? ”
Zhao Chengwen straightened up and said solemnly: "If the old man marries the little girl to the son, the Xu family will naturally not believe it." But what if the son joins my Zhao family? How could his Xu family not believe that a talented public merchant would not think that this was acting. ”
"It's just that in this way, Su Gongzi has to suffer a lot of grievances, at least the road to scientific research is not so smooth. Although the imperial court did not explicitly stipulate that sons-in-law were not allowed to take the imperial examination, it would be a big blow to Su Gongzi's reputation. ”
Su Ziheng snorted coldly: "Since this is the case, then how does Master Zhao think that he will agree?" ”
Zhao Chengwen shook his head and said, "The old man didn't think that Gongzi would agree, but he just said that Gongzi was the most suitable candidate." Only when the son joins my Zhao family will everyone in Xining City be suspicious. ”
Su Ziheng was silent, in fact, it didn't matter to him whether he participated in the imperial examination or not; It doesn't matter if you're in the rich or not, anyway, it's just acting, and others may despise the name of the son-in-law, but he comes from another world, so he doesn't have so many ideas.
Just, what's in it for me?
Yes, Su Ziheng is thinking about it, if he agrees to play such a scene with the Zhao family, what good will it do him?
offended the Xu Xiuping Xu family of Xining Prefecture, needless to say, the risk is definitely not small. But what is there in this world that is risk-free? Even eating will choke to death, walking will fall to death, not to mention in this era, any illness will kill you.
So the key is whether the benefits outweigh the risks.
As Zhao Chengwen, who has been messing around in the mall for many years, it can be said that he is an old fox and has the most sensitive insight into people's hearts. Seeing that Su Ziheng did not object immediately, he suddenly realized that there was a play.
Hurriedly beckoned Zhao Wan'er to step forward, took a land deed from under the soft collapse and handed it to her, signaling her to hand this to Su Ziheng along with the unknown item in her hand.
"Master Su, this is the title deed of the White Deer Academy sold by Sister-in-law Ling to the Zhao family. If Childe agrees, not only will the title deed be returned to Childe. And the Zhuangzi where the White Deer Academy is located, the Zhao family gave it to the son. Considered a dowry. ”
Long before Zhao Chengwen made this decision in his heart, he ordered an investigation into Su Ziheng's background. Knowing that Su Ziheng attached great importance to Bailu Academy, he suffered a head injury and fell into a coma this time because he was smashed on the way back from Bailu Academy.
Although Zhao Chengwen knew that his approach was a bit despicable, and even suspected of forcing him to comply, it would damage the reputation of the Zhao family. But the Zhao family is already facing the biggest crisis, and he can't take care of much.
If the Zhao family is annexed by the Xu family, it will be useless for this reputation to come. If you survive this catastrophe, it will be a big deal to give the Su family more compensation in the future.
"Okay, I promise you!"
Su Ziheng agreed, "But I have one condition." ”
When Zhao Wan'er saw that Su Ziheng agreed to help her act in this scene, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Master Su, do you have any conditions." ”
Su Ziheng pointed to the pocket mini version of the flying saucer in her hand and said, "First, give me what you have in your hand immediately." ”
Zhao Wan'er was stunned, quickly reacted, and handed over the flying saucer in her hand without saying a word.
Su Ziheng took it over, feeling the familiar fluctuations coming from inside it, and his heart was settled. As long as you have it in hand, in this world, you can be considered confident. Even if he is tough on the Xu family, he is not afraid.
It's a big deal to take Zhang Wanqing and Xiaoya to hide in "it" together, and then come out in a different place. This world is so big, not to mention Xu Xiuping, a small governor of Xining Prefecture, even if he is Emperor Xia today, don't want to find himself.
"Second, there must be a deadline for this play. I can't accompany the Zhao family for the rest of my life. ”
Zhao Wan'er hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, it will take a year at most." After the Zhao family transfers the property of Xining Mansion, the Zhao family will leave Xining City. At that time, Childe will no longer have to keep the agreement. ”
Zhao Chengwen added: "That's right, this year is the best excuse. We also only have one year, because after one year, the three-year filial piety period of the son will expire. When the time comes, if you don't get married, you can't say it. ”
it!
Su Ziheng was shocked, it was really an old fox, and he even counted his three-year filial piety period. It is not for nothing that the Zhao family can develop to the current scale.
"I don't know this, is Childe still satisfied?"
A year is not a long time, and the age of my body should not be more than twenty. Su Ziheng nodded, "Third, after getting engaged, I won't interfere in Miss Wan'er's life, and I don't care who you want to deal with." In the same way, you can't interfere in my life. ”
Zhao Wan'er frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Master Su, although Wan'er is just pretending to be engaged to you, the Zhao family's door will still be guarded." I will definitely not associate with other men during this time, so I hope that Su Gongzi had better consider the reputation of my Zhao family as well. ”
"This ...... I will try not to let outsiders suspect me. Su Ziheng said lightly.
The corners of Zhao Wan'er's lips were pursed, and she felt a little unhappy, but after all, she was asking him for help, and it was not easy to say too much.
"Then, let's discuss how to announce this news to the outside world, even if Su Gongzi joins my Zhao family, it can't be for no reason."
Su Ziheng frowned, "Otherwise, it just so happens that Bailu Academy is located on the Zhao family's Zhuangzi, so it is said that Master Zhao and his father are old acquaintances." I have had a marriage contract with Miss Zhao since I was a child, so I won't be too suspicious of the outside world. Don't make a special statement, just spread the news in private. ”
As for whether others believe it or not, I don't care.
