Even if Wang had a thousand ideas, she couldn't stop Zhao Ruxin from wanting anything else and only wanted to be a rich wife.
On the next day, Zhao Daye went to Qian's house after work and drank and chatted with Mr. Qian for a full hour.
"Old Master, my daughter is different from your other concubines. To put it in a broader sense, with her status and talent, it is not too much to be a principal wife."
"Brother Zhao, I understand clearly that's why I'm willing to give you two hundred taels of betrothal money. You can ask around the city to find out which family needs so much money to take a concubine." The young lady of the scholar's family must be very good. He has seen this girl several times. She is good-looking and has a good figure. She is good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
If Mr. Zhao hadn't been lonely, it would never have been his turn.
He understood this, and gave her quite a lot of money, two hundred taels.
"My Ruxin said that she wanted to add some more to highlight her status, and you have to promise her that after she marries you, her status must be higher than that of other concubines."
There was a glimmer of displeasure in Mr. Qian's eyes. He hated people who pushed for more the most.
"It's what she deserves. The daughter of a scholar must have a high status when she enters the family. I will make her a concubine when she enters the family."
Zhao Daye was somewhat disappointed. His goal was to find a wife, and he had mentioned it several times, but the old man simply ignored him.
"How about this? I'll add another fifty taels of silver, making it two hundred and fifty taels. What do you think?"
Go to hell with the one hundred and fifty taels. This Qian guy is nothing. What good will happen to my daughter if she follows a man like this?
She deliberately embarrassed him before they even got married.
At this moment, Zhao Da wanted to be tough and shouted at him, "My daughter won't get married."
But... there are fifty taels of silver more! It doesn’t sound good but it looks good! How much does he earn a month?
Zhao Daye's face turned blue and red. Mr. Qian said nothing and just looked at him leisurely. What choice would Zhao Xiucai, a man of integrity, make?
If he refused to leave, he would increase it to three hundred taels. If he accepted, um, haha, that was fine too, he would save fifty taels.
There is no point in continuing to have any contact with this person in the future.
As for his daughter, he is sensible and never treats his woman badly. If she is bold and wants to stir up trouble, not only him, but also his wife will not forgive her.
It would be best if she could be more stable, a young girl, and one he likes...
"Mr. Zhao, do you think this price is appropriate?"
Zhao Dayu wanted to pour the wine in his hand onto the face of the old man in front of him. He was older than him and had a bigger face than him. But he is indeed poor and has low aspirations now.
"Okay, I'll do as Mr. Qian says. I hope you can treat Ruxin well after she gets married."
Mr. Qian raised his lips in sneer. No wonder people in the county no longer associated with him. A person like him would never amount to anything. "That's my opinion. I will love anyone who is sensible."
Some things should just be said briefly; whether he can understand what others say depends entirely on himself.
Zhao Da didn't know what mood he was in when he left, but it was very complicated. When he left, Mr. Qian did not see him off in person. Compared with the previous times, he was much colder.
With two hundred and fifty dollars in my pocket, I felt mixed emotions. It turns out that all men have the same bad nature. They don't cherish what they get.
They agreed that he would send a sedan chair to pick up Ru Xin mansion the day after tomorrow.
The concubine only had a sedan chair. There was no engagement or ceremony. She couldn’t even go through the front door and had to enter the mansion through the back door.
His daughter was really wronged, and he was also wronged. The two hundred and fifty taels in his arms slapped him in the face and embarrassed him all the time.
