"And Baozhu, she's a good girl. You're not allowed to go looking for her until the marriage is finalized."
Song Yuangen nodded quickly to show that he understood.
At the same time, the Cui family in Dahe Village was also discussing marriage.
They didn't know that the old emperor had passed away. They just thought Cui Yujiao was unstable and was afraid that she would bring shame to the Cui family, so they forced her to get married.
Cui Yujiao's father was desperate and didn't care whether his daughter got married or not.
As for reputation, oh, what good reputation can an exiled criminal have?
"First, tell me, what kind of family are you looking for?"
Cui Yujiao's father tapped the table with his fingers, thinking that if it was a good idea, he could consider it.
Mrs. Cui immediately smiled and said, "He's a hunter from the next village. He's twenty-one years old. He's tall and strong, and his family doesn't have much to worry about. If Yujiao marries him, she'll be able to take charge of the household."
To be honest, with their status, marrying a hunter is really marrying up.
Mrs. Cui asked people to inquire, and almost all the people she inquired about were blind people, lame people, and old widowers. Young people with healthy limbs and normal minds, no matter how poor they were, would stay away from the exiles.
Only the hunter, who had no parents and a poor family, thought that marrying a good-looking woman was better than marrying a widow with children, so he reluctantly agreed.
Mrs. Cui felt quite embarrassed at first, thinking that it was unfair to introduce such a person to her cousin's daughter.
But Cui Yujiao came to inquire about "Master Lin" every now and then, and even joined forces with the Chen sisters to try to ruin Cui Wan'er's reputation, which completely angered her.
I thought to myself that one bad apple spoils the whole barrel, and that a bastard's child is indeed uneducated.
However, he did not act rashly. Instead, he asked people to find out who was interested in marriage, and at the same time, he went to Old Master Cui to file a complaint.
Old Master Cui was counting on his son to return to the court, so he naturally took Mrs. Cui's opinions to heart.
She's just a concubine's daughter, so just marry her off. It will also reduce the burden on the family.
So, under the double pressure from her sister-in-law and father-in-law, Mrs. Cui could not refute and chose to compromise.
On the other hand, the carefree Cui Lao Er completely ignored the eldest brother's words and asked Cui Jingzhong: "Who is the one who sent the food to your family? Instead of giving it to an outsider, why not introduce him to your niece?"
It is true that like daughter, like father, which made Mr. Cui and Cui Jingzhong very angry.
In the end, they decided to skip him and directly find a husband for Yujiao.
Just then, the hunter came to propose marriage, and Cui Yujiao started to make a fuss.
He pointed at Madam Cui's nose and scolded her, "If you think it's a good idea, marry Cui Wan'er to him!
She clearly has a daughter, yet she actually reaches out to her brother next door. Madam Cui is so well-educated!
In one sentence, Mrs. Cui's hypocritical face was completely torn off.
Cui Yujiao still felt unsatisfied and put a kitchen knife to her neck: "Don't you see how skinny he is? Do you want me to marry him because you want to kill me?
Has the Cui family fallen so low that they have to sell their daughters for a living?
I’m going to say this today, if anyone forces me to marry, I’ll kill him in front of him.
Then follow her day and night!"
When the hunter heard this, he was so scared that he ran away, saying that he could not marry the girl from the Cui family.
Cui Yujiao's father also coaxed: "My daughter, don't be afraid, if anyone dares to force you, don't be polite to her.
If the government takes you to the execution ground, your father will prepare a last meal for you.
I guarantee you'll have chicken, duck, fish and meat, so we can eat our fill and get going! "
I thought, who is he embarrassing by finding such a thing for his daughter?
After all, he was a sixth-rank official. Even if she was a concubine's daughter, he couldn't treat her like this.
The family clearly didn't take themselves seriously.
Although Cui Yujiao felt that her father's words were unpleasant, she felt very happy when she saw the constipated expressions of the Cui family members.
That’s right, they are playing tricks on me, why should I die?
At worst, we can go to hell together, but at least we'll have a companion!
So he moved the kitchen knife away from his neck and pointed it at Mrs. Cui.
Mrs. Cui was so frightened that she trembled and said that she didn't care anymore. Cui Yujiao could marry whoever she wanted and she would never mention this matter again.
Cui Laoer's wife, Cui Yujiao's biological mother, looked calm but her heart was beating like a drum.
I was afraid that the dead girl would not recognize her relatives, so I chopped her to pieces too.
In the end, it was Mr. Cui who made the final decision to end this farce.
The Cui family therefore knew that Cui Lao Er was a scoundrel and his concubine's daughter was even more vicious.
If you can't afford to provoke someone, you can afford to avoid him.
Cui Yujiao, on the other hand, was scolded by her brother after returning home: "Don't you know what kind of person your father is? You actually listened to him. If he gets hurt, where will you go to cry?
But to be honest, I think that boy is pretty good. If I could really marry him, I wouldn't have to work with everyone else in the future!"
"Brother, what do you mean? Do you think I'm only fit to marry that kind of family?"
Cui Yuanzhi rubbed his face and said more realistically than Cui Yujiao: "You also saw what my family's attitude was.
Today, it's because you were aggressive and didn't force your way in. If they were determined, could you defeat them?
Don't expect your mother to speak for you. We didn't come out of her womb.
Dad's words sound nice, but in fact, he just wants to use you to gain benefits.
Sister, there’s nothing good about the Cui family, so just leave if you can.
"If you stay here, they'll sell you out sooner or later. By then, you might even be worse than this young man!"
Cui Yujiao was unwilling to accept it, but she also knew that what her brother said made sense.
The figure of Master Lin kept appearing in my mind. I was unwilling but helpless.
After a moment, he made up his mind and decided to find Song Yuangen to sound out the matter.
Although that guy still failed to meet her standards for a spouse, compared with the peasants in Dahe Village and nearby villages, the stupid son of the headman was already very good.
Today, Qingshan Village is famous for its prosperity among the surrounding villages.
***
After a brief period of depression, the Ling family members all forced themselves to cheer up.
Those who should make clothes make clothes, those who should study study, and those who should practice martial arts practice martial arts. Everything is in order.
Chi Xingyue had finished his lunch and before he even finished his bowl, he heard Xiaohe say that Song Lizheng had arrived.
Thinking something happened in the village, she hurriedly asked Baozhu to clean up the house, and she and Ling Jiheng got up to greet them.
Finally, what did he hear? Song Yuangen wanted to marry Baozhu?
She didn't have any objection, and she believed Ling Jiheng wouldn't have any either.
But what about Erzhu, and what does Baozhu think?
So he said bluntly: "Uncle Village Chief, Yuan Gen is a good boy, we all know it.
But young people should be allowed to make their own decisions.
I'll ask Baozhu later what she thinks. If she doesn't want to, don't think anything of it."
She said she didn't care, but in fact she was biased. No matter what, she definitely wanted to handle the matter among her own people.
Song Lizheng's heart skipped a beat, he nodded, and left without noticing the anger in Erzhu's eyes.
Chi Xingyue hesitated for a moment and called Baozhu in to chat.
Straight to the point: "Baozhu, you are already in your teens. Have you ever thought about what kind of family you want to marry in the future?"
