"What if you don't hit?" Butcher Mo asked mercilessly, and without waiting for Qing Niang to answer, he continued.

"What if you can't win, can your family continue to provide for this situation? Even if you grit your teeth and confess once, what if you don't hit the second time or the third time? ”

"At that point, what will you do? How is your family doing? And Miaomiao, she will be married in a year or two, aren't you going to prepare a dowry for her? ”

"I... I..."Qingniang was not a strong character in the first place, and after being questioned by her father in such a series of questions, she was even more aware, let alone answering Butcher Mo's questions.

Seeing his daughter like this, Butcher Mo sighed in his heart, no longer forced her, and directly stated his purpose.

"Qingniang, don't blame me and your mother for not helping you, it's really a bottomless pit for the imperial examination. No one can guarantee that Brother Yuan will definitely be able to win, and our family is not only me and your mother. ”

"Qingniang, you are our daughter, your eldest brother and second brother are also our children, and our grandchildren, we can't ignore this big family and put all our hopes on Brother Yuan. We can't afford to gamble! ”

"If it's just us two old things, we will definitely be willing to take out all the money to help Brother Yuan'er, it's really not okay to gamble, it's enough for us to live so old."

"Daddy! Don't say such things, you and your mother will live a long life, I don't blame you and your mother, I know it..."Hearing Butcher Mo say this, Qingniang choked up a little.

Butcher Mo ignored his daughter and continued. "Qingniang, Dad is not saying these words to you to complain, Dad wants to give you an idea, you listen."

"Dad, you say." Qingniang quietly wiped away her tears.

"Brother Yuan is also sixteen years old this year, the elder brother's brother is the same age as him, and now he is about to get married, what are your plans for Brother Yuan'er's family affairs?"

Gu Nianyuan's family affairs?! Miaomiao, who was next to her, immediately became energetic, and quickly pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between the two.

"Brother Yuan's family? I haven't planned yet... Brother Yuan himself concentrated on his studies and did not mention the intention of marrying a wife, and his father said that he was not in a hurry before, and he was not in a hurry to mention family affairs when Brother Yuan passed the exam, and he could talk about it better. When it comes to her husband, Qingniang is a little nostalgic and more sad.

"That was before, the son-in-law had the ability to make money, Brother Yuan and so on are really not in a hurry, now that the family conditions are like this, it is better to find a family affair for Brother Yuan with a rich dowry."

"This is the one who has money for the exam, and one can take care of Brother Yuan." Li doesn't let stupid people have a tacit understanding with her husband for so many years. Hearing what her husband said, she understood what he meant, and hurriedly helped persuade her.

Butcher Mo glanced at his old wife appreciatively, and echoed: "Qingniang, what your mother said is right. Brother Yuan has been reading books for so many years, and it's a pity to give up like this. ”

"But your family's conditions can't bear it, and we can't afford to gamble. But with Brother Yuan's appearance and style, there are still rich people in the family who are willing to gamble and marry their daughter to Brother Yuan. What do you think? ”

"I... I don't know..."Qing Niang was a little moved.

Knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's father, seeing the intention of the young lady, Butcher Mo continued. "I didn't say this out of thin air, I went to help people today, and someone came to me. said that a Zhao member in the town took a fancy to our Brother Yuan and wanted Brother Yuan to be his son-in-law. ”

Speaking of this, Butcher Mo smiled, obviously very satisfied with this family business.

"This Zhao Yuanwai's family is amazing, not only does the family have thousands of acres of land, but also has a shop on Qingyun Street. And I heard that they have relatives who are officials in their family. ”

"Thousands of acres of land? His family alone has a harvest of 1,000 taels a year! "Li's concept of the store is not very deep, but this thousands of acres of land shocked her.

"Who's to say it isn't? And I heard that Zhao Yuanwai only has one daughter, and she is very fond of it. The man who came to me said that Zhao Yuanwai planned to marry his daughter with 200 acres of land, 5,000 taels of silver, and a full set of pineapple wood furniture with gold and silver jewelry, and also gave a few maids to accompany him. ”

"My God, two hundred acres of land and five thousand taels of silver? I've never seen so much money in my life. The Li family was completely shocked by the wealth of this Zhao Yuanwai, and Miao Miao also sighed in her heart, this Zhao Yuanwai was also a little tyrant in ancient times.

"Daddy... Although her daughter doesn't know much about it, she also knows that with so much dowry given by Zhao Yuanwai, even Xiucai can be found as a son-in-law. Brother Yuan is just a child, and according to what his father said, his literary talent is not outstanding, why did he choose Brother Yuan? ”

Qing Niang was also shocked when she heard the value of the dowry, but because she was worried about her son, Qing Niang quickly pointed out the unreasonableness.

Hearing Qing Niang's question, Butcher Mo was a little proud. "I also thought about this question, I asked the middleman, what do you guess people say?"

"Guess what?! Let's talk about it! In a hurry? What are you selling like such a bastard old man? Hearing her daughter's question, Li was in a hurry, and when she saw her husband like this, she was even more angry and began to scold.

was scolded by his wife, and Butcher Mo didn't dare to sell Guan Zi anymore, "What else can there be, our brother Yuan is handsome!" What's that called... Looks like a peach! Miss Ren likes the appearance of our brother Yuan! Zhao Yuanwai hurts his daughter, so he can't ask someone to ask me. ”

"Puff~" Before Li reprimanded Mo Butcher Miaomiao, she wanted to laugh a little, and when she heard Mo Butcher say, "It looks like a peach", Li Qingniang couldn't help it anymore and laughed.

Miao Miao smiled, and everyone's attention shifted to her. Miaomiao was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the topic.

"Mother, grandpa, Miao Miao dared to interject. We are discussing here in full swing, and if my brother is unwilling, we will be married. What should I do if my brother and that Miss Zhao don't get along well? ”

"That Miss Zhao went home to complain again, didn't she say that the Zhao family still has relatives who are officials? That Zhao Yuanwai hurts his daughter again, what if he takes revenge on us and my brother? ”

Miao Miao started out to change the topic, but when it came to this, she was a little sincere. is different from Li's Mo Butcher Qingniang, because he has read the original book. Miaomiao firmly believes that Gu Nianyuan can pass the exam.

After getting along with each other for these times, Miao Miao could also feel that Gu Nianyuan was actually a very arrogant person in his heart. Such a person asked him to marry in order to covet the dowry, and he would definitely not be able to accept it.

"What's this? Talk to your brother well, and let him treat that Miss Zhao well. And that Miss Zhao has a daughter's family, and after marrying your brother, she will be a family with you, what else can you make. ”

Li Shi was a little unimpressed, in her opinion, there is so much dowry and what kind of bicycle is needed. And women all regard their husbands as their heavens, and no matter how good their family background is, they must listen to their husbands.
