Chapter 1043 A faint smile
Uncle Fu also didn't expect that this time he was "doing bad things with good intentions", and Xu Yujin didn't appreciate it.
He was also a little helpless and said, "Yes, it's my fault. I shouldn't have 'indulged' the lady."
"Just remember. Don't say one thing with your mouth and do another behind your back. Even if you do it, others may not appreciate it." When he said this, Mr. Xu glanced at Xu Yujin.
Xu Yujin, who was standing aside, was not honest and made a face: "No way, it's just that this time Uncle Fu... I don't know what others are thinking."
After saying that, he also apologized to Uncle Fu.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Fu...next time," Xu Yujin said, "next time, next time I promise to accept your favor."
"I don't dare." That's what Uncle Fu said, but there was still a faint smile on Uncle Fu's face.
Obviously, everyone knows that, and he only talks about it.
Soon the topic among the three people returned to Zhu San.
Mr. Xu didn't believe that his granddaughter was trained by him. With her temperament, could she be the kind of person who is crazy about love?
Sure enough, Xu Yujin took action soon after. She fell in love with Zhu San, not because she fell in love with him, but because she had to fall in love with him.
She actually searched around but couldn't find the right person. It happened that this guy was chatting with her and she felt that they could chat better, so she chose him.
She also heard Mr. Xu and Uncle Fu talk about the situation of the Zhu family. If the Zhu family was said to be "mud-legged", it would no longer be true from the time Zhu Qi was admitted as a scholar.
From Zhu Qi to his two nephews, the Zhu family has trained at least three scholars.
Even Zhu San, who did not study, would not have been able to tell that he was born with mud legs if no one reminded him.
In addition, her grandfather Xu also praised Zhu San's mother, Aunt Zhu, saying that Aunt Zhu didn't look like an ordinary farm woman. Xu Yujin didn't know it before, but she came to Pushou City
From then on, her grandfather never stopped selling various things brought from the Zhu family.
There is food and dividends.
Obviously, various signs indicate that the Zhu family is not an ordinary "poor family" and has the potential to take off.
"Grandpa, I know that Young Master Zhu's condition seems to be a little worse, but after careful calculation, doesn't it seem like it's not as bad as you think?"
"This is just the beginning. The Zhu family has cooperated with Young Master Yan, Young Master Jiang, and Young Master Yu. It will definitely get better and better in the future."
"If I don't take advantage of the fact that the Zhu family is flying and take advantage of it, and provide help in times of need, why don't I wait until he is flying before trying to establish relations with him?"
…
Xu Yujin racked her brains, trying to convince Mr. Xu.
And Mr. Xu knew all this in his heart.
When Xu Yujin was talking, Mr. Xu was also secretly analyzing. Compared to his granddaughter, Mr. Xu knew more.
Zhu Qi is his student. How talented and learned Zhu Qi is, does he, the teacher, know?
He has also taught Zhu San. There are so many students in Pushou Prefecture, and Zhu San is not the only one who "accompanies them."
He has a bright mind and is good enough for studying. But the Zhu family has no money and can only provide for one. It's a pity...
Thinking of this, Mr. Xu suddenly reacted - wait a minute, when I first came to the state to study, the Zhu family had no money, but now the Zhu family has money.
Mr. Xu suddenly said with bright eyes: "Yes, why did I forget this matter? Now that the Zhu family's conditions have improved, we can definitely let Zhu San take part in the imperial examination."
"However," Mr. Xu calculated the time, "I'm afraid it's too late for this year's county exam. He can rush for next year's exam. With one year to prepare, and my husband to guide him from behind, even if he doesn't get anything famous in the exam,
, there is nothing wrong with being a small scholar..."
Uncle Fu: "..."
——Master, should I remind you that the young lady will turn 16 this year, not next year!
"In that case," Xu Yujin smiled and said after hearing her grandfather's words, "then what does grandpa think of the future husband I have chosen?"
Mr. Xu stroked his beard and laughed: "He has a good vision, but this guy has no intention of pursuing an official career, so he probably won't go very far in this field in the future. If you want to be an official's wife in the future, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult;
But if you just want to be a wealthy individual, with the current development momentum of the Zhu family, there is still some hope."
"Then just be a wealthy and wealthy individual," Xu Yujin said with a smile. "There is nothing wrong with it. I have a small income, and have a few promising brothers and nephews to protect me. In addition, the Xu family's prestige, as long as I don't go to the capital.
, I can live a stable life in this area. No matter how you look at it, it is better than marrying into a wealthy family who only looks good but is actually a mess inside. If you can’t find one ready-made, let’s find one with room for development.
It’s actually quite good.”
The more the grandfather and grandson talked, the more they felt that Zhu San was actually quite good and could be considered.
"Ahem!" Uncle Fu coughed twice and had to remind them about Xu Yujin's age.
Xu Yujin waved her slender hand and said nonchalantly: "What's the matter? I'll marry him in advance and share the hardships with him. Only then will he be more grateful to me if he has a future. Wouldn't it be better?"
"What your Uncle Fu means is that you are afraid that if you marry at a low age now, you won't be able to explain it on your face..." How could Mr. Xu not understand Uncle Fu's concerns?
If Zhu San has already achieved fame, whether he is a child or a scholar, it is all in the name of a "scholar". Even if he "marries low", others will think that he is "investing" in advance, which is nice to say.
Even if Zhu San fails to get famous in the future, people will just sigh and say that the Xu family has made a mistake. But the situation is different now. Now Zhu San is not only a white body, but also a "accompanying student" with nothing.
To put it nicely, he is "the heirloom of farming and reading", or to put it badly, he is a mud-legged person. The granddaughter of a wise man, but he married a mud-legged person who is nothing. This...
"Which one is more important, the appearance, or the benefits?" Xu Yujin rolled her eyes and continued to persuade Mr. Xu, "Grandpa, you also know what is going on in our Xu family now. It has been going downhill. Otherwise, you would have read my fortune.
It won’t be those people who pick and choose, but they all blame the widower... Just love your granddaughter and help her~"
Speaking of the latter part, Xu Yujin hugged Mr. Xu’s arm and acted coquettishly.
What can Mr. Xu say?
Naturally, he doesn't want his granddaughter to suffer.
He knew the situation of the Xu family. It sounded nice to the Xu family in Luanzhou, but in fact it had gone downhill a long time ago. His son and grandson generation had not produced many talents. Once he died, the Xu family would really have nothing.
It was reduced to an ordinary wealthy family.
If one of the children or grandchildren has bad management again, tsk tsk tsk tsk...
Then it really comes to an end.
Mr. Xu frowned, a little unhappy: "Oh... Grandpa, help you."
The eldest granddaughter, the second granddaughter, and the third granddaughter were married into high families by them, and only the youngest was still around, and he was reluctant to bear the hardship for Xu Yujin.
The sons and daughters-in-law only thought about getting their granddaughters to marry well so that they could support the Xu family in the future, but they forgot that if the Xu family could not stand up on their own, it would be useless no matter how well the girls from the Xu family married.
