Chapter 110 Let's see what the manor is lacking.
The Marquis of Anyang and his wife were a little confused as to how they had ended up with such a daughter!
Yes, it's true that the people in the Marquis of Anyang's household all love making money.
It's normal for Xiao Ruanruan to love making money; aren't all descendants of her ancestors like that? This only proves that she's a true member of the Marquis of Anyang's family!
Guaranteed authentic! No fakes whatsoever!
But Xiao Ruanruan's love for making money is a bit too much!
Even as a toddler, he knew how to do business without capital. He would take the things the Empress Dowager had given him and sell them. After selling them, he would even give half of the silver to the Empress Dowager...
"Ruan Ruan, what exactly do you want to do?!" Marquis Anyang was almost about to beat his chest in frustration.
Lady Anyang looked utterly helpless!
It's not her fault; she also wanted to have a well-behaved, adorable, and caring daughter.
Who would have thought that the Marquis of Anyang's family was so powerful, giving them absolutely no chance to resist!
"Father! Why are you doing this! Come on, let's go back to the flower hall and talk!"
"Speaking here makes me a laughingstock!"
As Xiao Ruanruan spoke, she gestured to the servants in the mansion to quickly close the gate.
And so, Xiao Ruanruan led the Marquis of Anyang and his wife to the flower hall.
Marquis Anyang was still furious.
"Tell me about yourself..."
“I said I’m going out to take a look around and think about what we have in our mansion. That way I’ll have a clear idea of what’s in our possession!” Xiao Ruanruan interrupted Marquis Anyang.
"What in our mansion do you not know?"
"What do you think we have in our manor?" Marquis Anyang asked in return.
Xiao Ruanruan thought about it carefully and realized that there seemed to be quite a lot. The Marquis of Anyang's mansion actually had almost everything...
“Then… let’s talk about what our household lacks!” Xiao Ruanruan immediately changed her approach.
Marquis of Anyang...
“Now that you mention it, I really do feel that something is missing in our manor!” Marquis Anyang suddenly said.
"Father, what do you need?" Xiao Ruanruan's eyes immediately lit up.
“We still need a son-in-law to live with us and a child!” Marquis Anyang looked at Xiao Ruanruan.
Xiao Ruanruan...
I knew she shouldn't have brought up this topic.
No, now no matter what she says or does, her father can always bring up the topic of finding a son-in-law to live with them.
"Father, that's not a very meaningful thing to say!"
"If you keep harping on this and insist that I find a son-in-law to live with me at the Merchant Guild, believe me, I'll definitely find a chance to steal that big golden bucket at the entrance of the Merchant Guild and sell it." Xiao Ruanruan's face also fell.
"Ha! Go ahead! I'd like to see who has the ability to move that big golden goblet away!" Marquis Anyang didn't take the threat to heart at all.
Xiao Ruanruan thought about it and realized that it was true; the large golden dou was too big and too heavy.
It took more than twenty strong men to carry it all the way to the entrance of the merchant guild...
"Father, if you like children, then you and Mother can have another one..."
Forget it, my mother was injured when she gave birth to me, so we can't take that risk.
Oh, I see. There are many children at the charity halls in the suburbs of Beijing. You can bring two of them back to raise.
If all else fails, you can raise all the children in the charity.
Since you have money anyway, how about this: you resign from your position as Minister of Commerce and I will take over, while you become a manager at a charitable institution.
That way, you can do it every day...
"Mother, save me!" Before Xiao Ruanruan could finish speaking, she saw Marquis Anyang raise his hand in anger.
She quickly and skillfully hid behind Lady Anyang.
Lady Anyang glared at Marquis Anyang, and he fell silent.
The Marquis of Anyang and his wife had a very good relationship and could hardly tolerate a third person.
When someone asked why the Marquis of Anyang didn't take a concubine, even if the Marquis's wife couldn't have children, he could still take a concubine and have a child with her.
At worst, we can just give the child to the Lady of Anyang to raise.
Marquis Anyang firmly disagreed, and said that it was not that his wife did not want him to take a concubine, but that he felt that taking a concubine would cost a lot of money.
He'll have to spend money on food and lodging in the future. He's a well-known miser in the capital, nicknamed "Xiao the Stingy" since he was a child. It's better not to spend that money.
As for not having a son...
If he doesn't have one, he doesn't have one! Anyway, he has a daughter.
The Marquis of Anyang's family is of royal blood, so finding a son-in-law to live with them would be a piece of cake.
And so, the Marquis of Anyang's mansion had only these three masters!
"You...you...you..."
Can't you put my and your mother's minds at ease?
If you don't find a son-in-law to live with you and have a child, who will inherit the vast estate of the Marquis of Anyang?
And who gets the 30% share from the Civil Protection Fund? That's a huge amount of profit!
"You really hope the Marquis of Anyang's family line will end?" Marquis Anyang said angrily, pointing at Xiao Ruanruan.
Xiao Ruanruan pouted.
"Will hiring a son-in-law to live with us solve the problem? Father, think about it, if I want to have children, I definitely need to have feelings for that person!"
How could I possibly bring myself to kiss her? If I can't even bring myself to kiss her, how can I have a baby?
Don't tell me that feelings are cultivated slowly.
I don't have the time to cultivate relationships with others. If I had that time, I could help others manage their shops or do some business on my own and make so much money!
Isn't this just Chun Chun being unfair to money?
Father, isn't there one such rule in the Anyang Marquis's family?
"Don't let men interfere with making money, that's what our ancestor said!" Xiao Ruanruan said bluntly.
Marquis of Anyang...
He looked at Xiao Ruanruan, who was completely unmoved by reason, thought about it, and realized that it seemed to make some sense...
"Well... if you don't want to marry a stranger into your family, then find someone you know well."
Xiao Ruanruan was even more unwilling.
Which family in the capital would want their son to become a live-in son-in-law?
She looked down on those who had no name or surname.
The more Marquis Anyang thought about it, the more convinced he became that he was right.
It's better to have someone you know well if you're going to marry into the family. Maybe we can look among the candidates who are going to the capital for the imperial examinations next year...
No, unfaithful men are often scholars...
"Madam, why don't you look around your family and find a gentle, pleasing-looking man who can come and become your live-in son-in-law?" Marquis Anyang immediately looked at his wife.
Lady Anyang was enjoying listening to the father and daughter's conversation when she heard the Marquis of Anyang ask her question, and immediately shook her head.
"No way! I don't want to give my family the chance to have no descendants!"
Marquis of Anyang...
Xiao Ruanruan glanced smugly at Marquis Anyang.
See, I was right! My mother is definitely on my side.
"Look, Mother says the same thing!"
Father, all you want is for me to have a child, right? That's easy!
Having a child doesn't necessarily mean you have to find a son-in-law to live with you!
Don't worry, I will definitely find someone I like and have a child with, but I don't necessarily have to marry him off to my family as a son-in-law!
"We can have children! But a son-in-law... isn't necessarily a must!" Xiao Ruanruan said very seriously.
Marquis Anyang immediately felt a surge of blood rush to his head.
He was so angry he wanted to take off his boots and throw them at his daughter...
Lady Anyang's eyes lit up.
"Should we leave the father and keep the son, or leave the father and keep the daughter? I think that's a good idea!"
Xiao Ruanruan grinned happily.
Marquis Anyang was dumbfounded...
