Ye Xinran didn't like Mr. Hua the first time she saw him. Maybe it was because he was like Dong Yishu, who looked bright and handsome on the surface, but was actually a thief and a whore! He looked like a handsome man, but he fooled the ignorant little girl! She didn't know if this Mr. Hua was a real handsome man, or just a superficial one.
Master Hua went up to the platform and ignored Coach Wu. Instead, he walked directly to Zhu Qian and said with a smile.
"Qianqian, look, I'm here! I really want to marry you!"
Zhu Qian said calmly, "Since Master Hua is here, let's fight with the martial arts coach in my house! After all, the words have been spoken, so we have to do it!
And besides, I don’t like you! You don’t have to come!”
Mr. Hua frowned slightly and looked at the man next to Zhu Qian. "Uncle Zhu, look..."
"Of course I have the final say on my life's affairs. It's no use asking my father!"
Zhu Qian's father, Zhu Changyuan sighed. He couldn't understand why his daughter rejected such a good Mr. Hua. Mr. Hua was Hua Zhang, the second son of the eldest son of the Hua family. He was as dignified as jade, like a banished immortal. All the girls in the city wanted to marry him. But Mr. Hua liked his daughter, but his daughter just didn't like him.
My daughter is sixteen, and she was not in a hurry to get married, but recently many women have gone missing. Most of them are unmarried women. The city lord sent many people to look for them, but they couldn't find them. No one could find them alive, and no one could find their bodies dead.
He was afraid that his only daughter had been tricked. He wanted her to get married, but she was annoyed by what he said, so she proposed this competition to find a husband.
Hey, looking at his daughter, no matter how he looked at her, he felt that she was good, smart, sensible, and good at business. Although she was not as beautiful as other girls, she had her own unique beauty. He thought that Hua Zhang must have felt it.
Zhu Changyuan wanted to persuade Zhu Qian, but Zhu Qian just gave him a look and told him to shut up. There was nothing he could do, his daughter was the boss of the family now!
Hua Zhang gritted his teeth secretly, while on the surface he looked bright and beautiful.
"Qianqian, look, more than half an hour has passed and no one has come up on stage. This means that no one likes you as much as I do! I don't need to compete!"
Ye Xinran raised her eyebrows. On the surface, there was nothing wrong with what Mr. Hua said, but if you think about it carefully, he was belittling Zhu Qian everywhere, saying that no one wanted Zhu Qian except him, and asked Zhu Qian to quit while she was ahead.
This is not the attitude of liking someone, this is simply a blatant PUA. No wonder Zhu Qian doesn't like him.
"I can't afford Mr. Hua's love for me. Or are you just not brave enough to compete?" Zhu Qian was unmoved. Even if it was embarrassing, she still wanted to take a gamble!
"No, it's not!"
"Then accept my test!" Zhu Qian said lightly.
"Then if I don't pass the competition, will Qianqian not get married?"
Zhu Qian raised her eyebrows and sneered, "So what if you don't marry!"
Hua Zhang frowned, "How can this be possible! How can a woman not get married! Not to mention that this is the way the world is, even if there have been a series of women getting into trouble recently, Qianqian should get married and avoid the crisis."
"It's really funny. With so many women in trouble, the government should investigate thoroughly. Many people from my Zhu Mansion have already been looking for them. We need to catch the criminals as soon as possible! We shouldn't let all the women get married off casually."
"Or is it that the criminals' goal is to force unmarried women to marry anyone? Then I have to doubt whether those who force women to marry are in cahoots with the criminals!"
Ye Xinran raised her eyebrows. It was indeed possible!
The people below the stage also began to whisper.
"My neighbor Zhang's daughter doesn't like the Li family boy. The Li family boy is obstructive and lustful, and he likes to beat people! But, she was also afraid of being kidnapped by criminals, so she hurriedly married him. Alas, after just a few days, he was beaten beyond recognition!"
"Who says it's not true? My cousin's nephew's cousin's neighbor girl is so pretty! She just casually married a 40-year-old widower!"
“It’s really ruined!”
"Well, that's not bad, they're all married! In the village of a distant relative of mine, all the girls were given away as concubines, just to survive!"
Alas, everyone was sighing.
"That's not what I meant! I'm just worried about you!" Hua Zhang said unhappily. But he was a little nervous in his heart. Zhu Qian was too smart.
"Thank you, Master Hua! But I don't need it!"
Hua Zhang frowned, but thinking of the instructions from above, he could only compromise and nodded. "Okay, to show my sincerity, I will compete with Coach Wu!"
Hua Zhang soon started fighting with Coach Wu.
Ye Xinran looked at it and found that Hua Zhang was obviously better. She also learned the origin of Hua Zhang from her uncle. The Hua family was also a business family, but they dealt with scholars and were considered Confucian merchants. Their wealth was not as good as the Zhu family, but their status was also very high.
Hua Zhang’s martial arts skills were pretty good. He didn’t use any weapons and fought with Coach Wu for less than a quarter of an hour before he knocked him off the stage. There was a round of cheers and applause from the audience.
Zhu Qian frowned even more tightly.
Hua Zhang walked up to Zhu Qian with a smile and said, "Qian Qian, I won! Do you have to marry me?"
Zhu Qian curled her lips, "This is a competition to find a husband, so it can't just be about martial arts! I don't plan to find a martial artist."
Hua Zhang frowned and forced a smile, "Then what else do we need to compete for?"
Zhu Qian said generously, "Let's compete in literary talent!" Then she asked two servants to bring pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Please write a poem for my daughter!"
Hua Zhang raised his eyebrows. This is not easy! After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly became confused!
How to write this poem? Write about Zhu Qian's beauty? But she is not beautiful! Say she has a good figure? But she is fat! She is not a talented woman, and she can't play the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting. What are her advantages? She can make money! But how to write this!
