Chapter 186: Daydreaming
For Chu Xintian, the eldest daughter of the first marriage, Chu Huaiyuan has no feelings.
Chu Huaiyuan married the Fang family at the beginning, because the Fang family's father was a county magistrate, and he only had one daughter from the Fang family, Chu Huaiyuan married the Fang family, which was very helpful to his career.
However, just two years after he married Fang, Zhixian died, and Chu Huaiyuan had no backer, and his career was not easy.
He didn't have much real affection for Liu, in the past, he was gentle and considerate to her, and he also thought that Fang could go back to his parents' house and say a few good words to him in front of his father.
But the Fang family did not provide any help in his career, Chu Huaiyuan exposed his true nature and began to ignore the Fang family, he was still living with the Liu family outside, and he often ignored the Fang family and her eldest daughter Chu Xintian.
Later, the Fang family died, the Liu family was corrected, and Chu Huaiyuan scolded Chu Xintian and Chu Yuan when he saw it, however, he never said that the Liu family was bad
For Chu Huaiyuan, his ex-wife's daughter has now become a burden to him
Therefore, when the Liu family decided to marry Chu Xintian to the countryside, Chu Huaiyuan did not stop her.
If it weren't for Chu Yuan's hard work and admission to the academy in the county, it would be possible to become an official in the future and let the Chu family get ahead, and Chu Huaiyuan would have abandoned this son.
Later, Chu Xintian's husband died, Chu Xintian became a widow, and Chu Huaiyuan didn't care at all.
Now, hearing that Chu Xintian has a connection with the Lu family, Chu Huaiyuan finally became interested: "What is she doing in the Lu family" How can she enter the door of the Lu family if she can't get on the stage?"
Chu Huaiyuan didn't believe Liu's words.
Because he knows the status of the Lu family in the county, because he is rich, even the current magistrate is very polite to the Lu family, he is a small catcher, and it is difficult to talk to the Lu family.
Although Chu Huaiyuan and the Liu family have always wanted to marry Chu Pearl to Lu Gongzi, they didn't care too much about the Chu family, it was difficult for Liu and Chu Pearl to enter the door of the Lu family, why could Chu Xintian, a village woman, be favored by the Lu family
"What I saw with my own eyes with Pearl, could it be a fake, Master, I think Chu Xintian has the ability to enter the gate of the Lu family, so that she can lead the pearl in, so that Pearl has more opportunities to meet Lu Gongzi, don't you want Pearl to marry into the Lu family and ascend to the sky in one step?"
Chu Huaiyuan couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Liu's words.
In the past two years, the Liu family has always encountered many obstacles when she goes to the Lu family, she has not been accepted by the Lu family, and Chu Huaiyuan will marry Chu Pearl to the Lu family, and she is no longer hopeful.
Now, hearing Liu's words, he couldn't help but see hope again
If he can promote the marriage of Chu Pearl and Lu Gongzi, then he will be Lu Gongzi's father-in-law.
It is said that the Lu family has connections with many high-ranking officials in the capital, and the Lu family is still very wealthy, and by that time, relying on the financial resources of the Lu family, Chu Huaiyuan will be able to find a better position
"You're right, you will go to the countryside tomorrow and talk to Chu Xintian about this matter."
"Master, I'm a little worried, that kid won't agree"
"That Chu Xintian, just like her mother, it's best to coax her, when you go, say something nice, and she will definitely do what you say."
In Chu Huaiyuan's mind, Chu Xintian, like her dead mother, was a cowardly and incompetent person.
In the past, the Fang family was like this, if Chu Huaiyuan needed something, she would go back to her parents' house and help Chu Huaiyuan ask for money.
Today, the courtyard of the Chu family is the dowry of the Fang family.
After Fang County's death, several properties of the Fang family were placed under Chu Huaiyuan's name.
Chu Huaiyuan sold them for silver and spent half of them, he opened a small shop outside, and now he doesn't open it, he rents it out, and Chu Huaiyuan's daily life depends on the rent of that store for most of his daily life.
And the rest of the silver, Chu Huaiyuan basically spent it on giving gifts to his superiors.
However, a person with no background like Chu Huaiyuan, even if he gives gifts to others, others will not easily do things for him.
In recent years, in order to become a county official, Chu Huaiyuan has spent a lot of money, however, the position has not changed, and it is still a catch given by the county order of the year.
Now, Chu Huaiyuan felt that his good days had finally come
