Chapter 121 Eat one melon after another
Bai Xiao told the general everything that had happened recently.
Recently, he and his wife were arguing over the marriages of his two daughters.
The general wanted to marry his daughter to his favorite student, but his wife wanted her daughter to find one herself.
This search was a big deal, because their eldest daughter fell in love with a scholar for the first time.
Everyone has been arguing about this for several days, and no conclusion has been reached yet.
Lin Mo narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and suddenly felt that this plot was particularly familiar.
[Why do I feel like this is a plot in a novel, where the official’s daughter falls in love with a poor scholar, this plot should be written by Miss Su! Bai Xiao
: Miss Su has already started writing. You don't have to worry about this. Miss Su keeps up with current affairs. Miss Su is also a good friend of the eldest lady of the Taiwei Mansion. When this matter just started to happen, she had already started to prepare to write the story.
Lin Mo said with emotion: Awesome, not only did she eat the melon, but she also made money. This Miss Su is the most amazing. Su Hanlin really gave birth to a good daughter!
Everyone present: ... Just eat another melon, right?
Su Hanlin, who was suddenly named: ... How come it's about my daughter again!
Why is there so many twists and turns in this morning's melon.
But everyone was very happy and excited to hear it. The three princes even secretly came over.
The prince unceremoniously gave the best positions to his two younger brothers.
Looking at the resentful eyes of his two younger brothers, he said euphemistically: "As the prince, I need to know more things, you have to be considerate of me."
The second prince and the third prince: ...Brother, do you still remember how serious you used to be?
Lin Mo was so comfortable lying down and eating melons, she unceremoniously began to expose her father's shortcomings again.
[I think this general should learn from my father. Although my father is quite old-fashioned outside, he is absolutely humble in front of my mother. 】
【If he made my mother angry, he would go out and buy a gift that day, and then write a long love poem. I even caught him writing a love poem once. I never thought that he was writing a love poem with such a cold face. I thought he was reviewing official documents. 】
Bai Xiao also echoed and said: 【I admire your father. He is handsome and can make people happy. The most important thing is that he is not the kind of person who is good to everyone. He is only good to your mother. Such men are rare! 】 【Based on your father's appearance,
if he wanted to take a concubine, a girl of your age would not know how many people would rush to him. The general really needs to learn from your father how to make his wife happy, otherwise it will be so embarrassing to be driven out every other day. If he is not embarrassed, then the servants who are on night watch will be embarrassed. 】
Minister Lin, Taiwei: ...We really thank you for worrying about us, can you change the topic!
Minister Lin's image over the past few decades has been ruined today.
He used to be a fair and strict cold-faced scholar.
He knows that he is too handsome, and people who are too good-looking are sometimes not very convenient to do things. If you have a smiling face every day, people will think you are too easy to bully.
That's why Minister Lin has maintained a cold-faced image for so many years, and being cold has become a habit.
He only smiles more in front of his wife, but most of the time he avoids his children. After all, he still has to maintain a certain dignity in front of his children.
I didn't expect that all the hard work over the years would be ruined now. Can't this bastard girl eat other people's melons!
Now everyone is imagining how Minister Lin coaxes his wife.
Tsk! I thought I was going to eat other people's gossip this morning, but I didn't expect to eat Minister Lin's gossip. This is really a pleasant surprise!
Lin Mo and Bai Xiao have been talking all morning.
Bai Xiao even started talking about the scholar.
[Actually, the scholar is a good person, just a little bit money-obsessed, but a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way, and he has never done anything bad.]
Lin Mo said a little disapprovingly: [You can't just say this about him when you say he is good. When you judge a person, you should look at the overall situation. Does he respect women? Will he be a playboy? Does he have any confidantes?] When
the general heard these questions asked by Lin Mo, he immediately gave her a thumbs up in his heart.
Yes, yes, yes! These are the important points! This was the most satisfying sentence he had heard this morning.
Although Mr. Xiao Lin's personality was a little weird, he was still a good person.
Everyone was paying attention to Bai Xiao's answer.
Bai Xiao carefully investigated and then said: [This man respects women very much, he doesn't flirt with other women, and he doesn't have any confidantes. The only thing he loves is money. In short, this man is still good. The most important thing is that he is willing to spend money on the young lady! ]
Lin Mo didn't quite understand this sentence, [What do you mean by this? What do you mean by willing to spend money on the young lady? ]
Others didn't understand it either. What's wrong with spending money?
Bai Xiao sighed, and really felt that Lin Mo didn't understand at all.
[Do you know how difficult it is to get a stingy man to spend money on you! Money is the life of that scholar. He is willing to spend money on the young lady, which shows that he is sincere to her! 】
【And the scholar is also talented. As for why he is only a scholar after so many years, it is because he spent all his time making money and did not have time to take the examination. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to pass the next imperial examination. 】
Lin Mo was speechless. How much does this man love money? He actually did not want to be an official for money.
Emperor Xuande was a little doubtful about life after hearing this. Is making money more important than taking the imperial examination? Is there anything wrong with the scholar's outlook on life?
Isn't it good to be an official of the Great Yong Dynasty?
Everyone present was particularly interested in this scholar. It was the first time they had seen someone who loved money so much.
In order to make money, he didn't even take the exam, and he even stopped being an official. I don't know how much money he has made now.
Lin Mo asked this question for everyone, [He didn't even take the exam to make money, so how much money has he made over the years? ]
Bai Xiao: [It is definitely not much for you, after all, you are all rich people, but for ordinary people, the money earned by that scholar is enough to make them worry-free for the rest of their lives. If they don't spend lavishly, they can definitely live a stable life.]
Wow! Awesome! This is equivalent to starting from scratch!
Lin Mo now really admires this scholar.
