Mr. Duan was thinking all the way, and after weighing the pros and cons, he made a risky decision.
"Let's forget about the marriage between our two families." He said to Yue Xian.
Yue Xian was immediately struck by lightning. He relied on this marriage to make some money so that he could get rid of Mo Liao. If he gave up...
"I'm afraid there's a misunderstanding..." he hurriedly explained.
"What misunderstanding? I asked someone to calculate these two days, and it said that your son will have a bloody disaster this year. I can't let my daughter take the risk of becoming a widow." Mr. Duan said puzzledly.
Yun Rou did not explain in detail what happened here.
Yue Xian put on a smiling face again, but Master Duan refused to agree no matter how much he tried to persuade him. Zhao Qiucui immediately got angry and said, "Back off if you want! Do you think our Hongcai can't get a wife? What are you so proud of? You are just a rice seller!"
It was exactly what Mr. Duan and Su Bei wanted.
Yue Hongcai actually smiled, "Mom! That's perfect! I want to marry Qiuyue, the tofu seller on the street!"
As soon as he said that, Zhao Qiucui slapped him in the face, "You bastard! Who are we? How could we marry that kind of thing?!"
Su Bei's attention was on Yue Xian.
Yue Xian was obviously more angry and surprised than Zhao Qiucui. People who didn't know might be surprised, but Su Bei was not.
She originally intended to use this to blackmail Yue Hongcai. Yun Rou had been following Yue Hongcai for a long time and discovered that he had an improper relationship with Qiuyue, a tofu seller. This was not a big deal, but the problem was that Yue Xian and Qiuyue were not quite right either.
I didn't expect that they would say it themselves. Well, I can't blackmail them anymore. I have to pay for the shop myself.
But this excitement is quite beautiful.
Yue Xian joined Zhao Qiucui's camp, and the two of them played mixed doubles against Yue Hongcai, but after a few hits, Zhao Qiucui felt sorry for her son and started to hit Yue Xian. Yue Hongcai took the opportunity to avenge the beating he had just received, and secretly hit Yue Xian twice.
Yue Xian got anxious and beat his son even harder. He got so excited that he blurted out, "How dare you touch your father's woman? I think you are really tired of living!"
But I don’t know who is impatient with life…
Could Zhao Qiucui forgive him? This family of three was so embarrassed!
Finally, Xue Jinrong yawned and said, "Come on, come on, go home and play. I'm so sleepy!"
The farce finally ended.
Before the three of them left, Yuanyang grabbed Su Bei's sleeve. After they left, Yuanyang knelt down and said, "Thank you, Princess, for taking charge of my young lady. All this is my young lady's gift to you!"
What she was holding in her hand was the land deed that Zhao Qiucui had just had someone deliver to her.
"This is their compensation to your daughter. It would be inappropriate to give it to me." Su Bei said in surprise.
Yuanyang said seriously: "When I asked for it just now, I was thinking of giving it to you. I want to take her somewhere else. It's useless to take this shop. If she is caught and taken back, the lady... Oh!"
Such a smart maid made Su Bei feel that Yue Jiaxue must have been a very smart person. How could she become like this? Yuanyang seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "Last year, my young lady came to Tongcheng and lived for a while at the fourth master's house. But during those few days, something happened to the young lady. We all thought that the young master did it, but we have no evidence..."
Yue Hongcai did this stupid thing?! The girl was ruined by him?!
Su Bei can hardly control his temper!
Yuanyang wiped her tears and said, "Before the young lady became like this, I always thought that it would be great if I could find that bastard..."
"Find it! We must find it!" Su Bei looked at Chu Younan firmly. With Brother Nannan taking action, this matter would not be a big problem.
"But we have to leave tomorrow morning. If we find out, please find a way to send a message to me so that my young lady can rest assured..." Yuanyang pleaded.
"How about this, no matter where you go, contact the local dim sum shop, so that I can have a place to deliver it when I get the news."
Yuanyang was moved to tears of gratitude, and Yue Jiaxue seemed to have lifted the curtain to take a look.
She was still timid, but Su Bei didn't look as disgusted with her anymore.
The academy opened, and on the same day, the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone shop also opened.
Coincidentally, the two shops given by Zhao Qiucui were just opposite Yuejian Academy. The opening of the academy did not cause any impact on Yue Xian, but the pen, ink, paper and inkstone shop firmly suppressed his shop.
It was mainly because he was too black-handed. The price he set was three times the purchase price. Su Bei was different from him. She got the shop for free anyway, and for Chu Younan's sake, the supplier agreed to deliver the goods first and pay later, so she directly set the price at half of Yue Xian's.
Students from Baichuan Academy all came to support the opening day!
The tuition fees of the academy are very affordable, and the prices of the pen, ink, paper and inkstone shop are also very affordable, which is simply a way out for poor students! If not now, when?
But in such a lively scene, I don’t know if Yue Xian was angry to death, he didn’t even show a single face.
He was indeed almost angry to death, but it was not because of the pen, ink, paper and inkstone shop. Now this matter is considered a trivial matter.
Mo Liao came to him again yesterday and forced him to pay 200,000 taels. He was almost ready to cut off his head and offer it as a gift.
After thinking about it, there is only one way, which is to quickly sell a few more officials to get rid of Mo Liao.
He secretly contacted the channels for buying and selling official positions, inquired about several small official positions that were vacant recently, and then found several people who had passed the imperial examination this year but had not yet become officials.
Coincidentally, one of them had a family of salt merchants. He was not only rich but also had some connections. He looked down on these crappy petty officials. He came right up and said he wanted to be the Grand Commander and was willing to pay one million taels.
In the past, Yue Xian would definitely help find a solution, but now under the nose of Prince Su, how dare he set his sights on the position of Grand Commander?
He declined.
As a result, people said that Yuejian Academy was a liar and a big fuss broke out.
"What's going on over there? Why is it so messy?" Su Bei leaned over to look.
Chu Younan hurriedly stopped her, "Don't mess around, just look here, don't come near!"
Are you kidding? It looks like a fight over there. Su Bei is a man with a lot of stuff in his head. Can he just get involved?
But ever since she got pregnant, Su Bei's curiosity was burning. She couldn't control her legs and wanted to run over to take a look.
I didn't dare to stop her by force because pregnant women are emotionally unstable and something bad might happen if I got angry.
Chu Younan had no choice but to protect him closely.
As I approached Yuejian Academy, I heard someone yelling, "What a shitty academy! It's all a scam! I spent so much money here, but I can't even get an official position, so why should I study?! I tell you, double your money! Otherwise, I'll tear down this crappy academy for you!"
Yue Xian kept persuading him.
"A ninth-rank official costs fifty thousand taels, an eighth-rank official costs a hundred thousand taels, and I'll give you one million to buy a third-rank official. Is that not enough?!" the man was still yelling.
Wow! Are you laying the matter out in the open? I was just worried about not being able to find any evidence! Su Bei stretched his ears and heard a familiar and annoying voice behind him: "You want to buy an official position? Come to me!"
