Chapter 018: Gentleman
Zi Jue didn't expect to hear such an answer, and was angry in her heart: "What if I just don't agree? β
Chi Zifang looked at her without any anger at all, and replied simply: "You haven't heard anyone say today, what your children's marriage needs is the order of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, does it matter whether you agree or not?" Zijue, don't think carefully, obediently listen to my arrangement, and you will have a lifetime of glory and wealth. β
He looked at Zi Jue and softened his tone: "I won't harm you, I'm your father." "Only by applying both soft and hard can we achieve the goal, and blindly using strong will only achieve half the result; And he could see that Zi Jue's temper was a little hard: "You don't think about yourself, you have to think about your mother and younger siblings, right?" If you are obedient and obedient, I will consider arranging a good life for them. β
"In the local area, I can make them the biggest landlords, the richest people, and no one will dare to bully them again." His voice was soft: "I know you've always been worried about them, but what can you do?" Don't say you don't have any ability at all now, even in a few years, because you're a girl. β
His voice was even softer, as if it could enter a person's heart: "But it's different if you have the Chi family as a backer, not only do you not have to suffer anymore, but your mother and younger siblings will not dare to bully - just let people know that the Chi family is their backer." β
"It's not hard to do, as long as you nod your head and say yes, I can get them out of the sea of misery at once; Of course, if you don't agree, I can make them happy......" He said no more, but his eyes were as sharp as knives.
Zi Jue's face changed, she didn't expect that what she had done this time was in vain, she gritted her teeth without giving up: "Even if I agree, then people have to be willing, right?" Can you make sure that Xia Chengqin is willing to marry a wife like me, or is he rich, and he has a good reputation when he says it? β
Chi Zifang was unmoved: "You don't have to take care of Xia Chengqin's affairs, you just need to take care of yourself; You have to say yes, and then you can't do anything out of the ordinaryβeven if you don't know what upbringing, but I'm sure you know what to do under what circumstances. β
"If you do something wrong again, I can ask someone to send a letter to the Wen family, such as if you are critically ill, or if you escape from the Chi family, how do you say the Wen family will react?" Chi Zifang stared at Zi Jue's eyes: "I won't harm you, Zi Jue, Cheng Qin is a good man, you just need to treat him well, and honor my wife with him, everything I will do in the future will be yours." β
Zi Jue now knows what kind of delicate heart his father had, at least her little tricks are nothing in front of him: "It's Xia Chengqin, right?" No wonder my grandmother doesn't want Xia Chengqin to get into trouble, because everything you will do in the future will be surnamed Xia - I really didn't expect you to have a heart, and you actually didn't leave everything to the Chi family but gave it to the surname Xia, and you had to take me. β
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, since it was useless to do anything, there was no need to pretend to show Chi Zifang a good face: drag, it depends on how many days Chi Zifang can live.
Chi Zifang said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense? If you don't agree, think about your mother......"
Zi Jue turned to look at him: "Okay, you can go and write a letter, I'll leave right now, leave the Chi family and leave here, even if you die, it's better to die with my mother than to be a pawn of yours!" I just don't know, whether we die in front or you die in front, I think I'm afraid you have to wait for us on Huangquan Road. β
"I won't sit back, although the Wen family is a wolf's den, my mother and I have lived there for almost ten years! If you have survived in the past, you will survive in the future. When she said this, she suddenly smiled: "No, why die, I can go to the Jade Building, isn't Wen Si going to sell me?" β
Zi Jue stared at Chi Zifang viciously: "When the time comes, I will tell every benefactor that I am the eldest girl of the Chi family, and the only living child of your Chi Zifang; Hey, I think business should be good enough to support my mom and sisters. Huangquan Road is not far for you, you better hurry up and think of other ways. β
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, and the fire in her heart arched and arched; Indeed, she can't leave the Chi family, she can't let Wen Si really sell her into the fire pit, she can't let Wen Si beat her mother to death, and she can't let her younger siblings starve; However, she really couldn't stand Chi Zifang's repeated pressure.
Chi Zifang was not fooled: "You won't do that, Zijue; Otherwise, you wouldn't have come. "He is treacherous and slippery, Zi Jue is not his opponent at all; However, he also knew that he couldn't push Zi Jue too hard, if he forced Zi Jue to have a lot of resentment, she wouldn't treat Xia well.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk angry, okay?" His voice softened again: "Chengqin is really a good child, and the family wealth is really given to you, and it will not be Chengqin; Don't say anything else, the rest of the Chi family won't agree - the Chi family still has ancestors, you still have grandfathers and grandmothers, how can they watch me give my family wealth to outsiders? β
He coughed a few times: "It's all your future children, not yours?" Chengqin won't take a concubine, and he can only rely on you and his aunt in the Chi family, how can he be bad to you? Your temper is not good, you scared those people a lot today, even if you don't choose to take attendance, other people are still willing to join at this time, do you really dare to let him get started? β
Zi Jue looked at him: "You are very sick, and you still think so much every day, are you really not afraid that Yama Luo will come to you early?" After saying that, she walked away, no longer paying attention to any words from Chi Zifang.
She was startled when she pushed open the door, and Xia Shi outside the door stood there quietly, looking at her with complicated eyes; Zi Jue frowned: "People are scary and will scare people to death, are you still too many people in the second room?" β
Xia Shi looked away: "I know you don't like me, but we are just grasshoppers on a rope in the second room, saying how much I love you is really an empty word now, but at least I won't hurt you; As for the rest of the Chi family, you can see clearly with your eyes open, whether they love you, or do they love the wealth of our second room. β
"Your father has earned a lot of money over the years, and most of it has been given to the family, but the hearts of the people are insufficient; Now they have forgotten how the good life came about, and they are just staring at the wealth of our second room much more than them. After she finished speaking, she glanced at Zi Jue: "I won't say much, you are a person with eyes." β
Xia really didn't have to say more, so he stepped into the room and closed the door in front of Zi Jue.
Zi Jue stared at the door for a while before turning around, and saw that Mo Chou and Bang Qing were waiting for him not far away, and walked over with a sigh: "You are all from the Chi family, you don't need to hang that mask to show meβI am not the eldest girl of the Chi family, not your master." β
Bang Qing was startled, looked at Zi Jue and muttered: "Big girl, the slave has already kowtowed to the girl, how can someone who has recognized the master not think that the big girl is the master?" You are the master of the slave. β
Mo Chou glanced at the closed door and turned sideways: "Big girl, are you hungry?" I got sweet and sour fish in the kitchen today, you can try it, it tastes absolutely different from the braised fish; The slave maid will make a few snacks and make them another day when she has free time for the big girl to taste. β
Zi Jue didn't speak again, she only felt very stuffy in her heart, as if she was pressing a big stone: she couldn't move it even if she tried her best.
"Big girl, look, Shui Gongzi." Mo Chou suddenly pointed to the distance, where a figure walked by: "It should be leaving; Big girl, do you know the interesting story of the water boy, it's really hard to believe when you say it. The water boy is the most sincere person in the world. β
She didn't care whether Zijue wanted to listen or not, and said softly: "The water boy was stopped one day when he was walking on the road, he just felt that the person was a little familiar, but there was no impression; But the man insisted that he and Shui Gongzi's ancestral home was the same, and he had drunk together, but now he returned to his hometown but was not entangled, so he wanted to ask Shui Gongzi to borrow fifty taels or one hundred taels of silver. β
Zi Jue looked at Mo Chou and didn't speak, but she was also attracted by her words.
Mo Chou didn't smile either, he still looked as usual: "As soon as the water boy heard that he was an old villager from his ancestral hometown, he immediately took out the silver, but asked him why he didn't just say one hundred taels, and said that fifty taels was okay?" People said that if the silver in the hand of the water boy was loose, he would hire a carriage to go back, so he would use one hundred taels. β
Zi Jue rolled her eyes, this liar has just debuted, although it is said that Shui Gongzi is a good fat sheep, even if he cuts three hundred taels, it will not make their family unbearable, but this deception is too pediatric: old folks? No fool will be fooled, and that water boy speaks clearly, and he is not a fool at first glance.
"The son gave a hundred taels of silver to others without saying a word, saying that he would not have to be too frugal on the road, and it would be the same if he would pay him back when the time came, and he also lent his carriage and even the horses to others." Mo Chou looked at Zi Jue: "Have you ever seen such a sincere person?" β
Zi Jue didn't believe it: "He gave an unknown person a hundred taels of silver and a horse and a cart for nothing?!" Just because people told him that it was his old folks? You lied to me trying to make me happy, and I would be a fool if I believed me. β
Mo Chou was very serious: "It's true, it's true, it's more true than pearls." And the water boy didn't do it once, for example, he just arrived at the hotel to sit down for dinner, Xiao Er came over and sighed and said that the old mother in the family was sick, and he would immediately give two taels of silver; For example, people say that there are few calligraphy and paintings at home, but there is no money to buy them, so he immediately paints one and gives it away - his paintings are sold outside for at least twenty-one fans! β
Zi Jue looked at Mo Chou and muttered, "There is actually such a person?" "Her heart is bleeding, why doesn't God let this kind of person live in her old town? Then she and Su Wanli won't be hungry for three days, what a fat and stupid sheep this is, if you don't cut a knife fiercely, you'll be sorry for your little blackened conscience.
