Chapter 7 Just make it up, who can't?(1/2)
Zhao Youcai's words made everyone around him nod their heads.
Everyone was also talking about asking Zhao Ce to call him out.
Just do what Zhao Youcai said.
After everyone finished talking, Zhao Ce over there still shook his head and refused.
"I brought her back. Now that her innocence is gone, I should be responsible for her."
"How can a man be so irresponsible and watch a little girl suffer unreasonable things?"
After hearing this, everyone here felt that Zhao Ce's speech today seemed different from before.
In the past, his speech was very formal, full of "Confucius said" and so on.
No one in the village could understand what he was saying, but he was proud of it.
Although my speech today was somewhat formal.
But they all understood it.
Moreover, this righteous and awe-inspiring look is really far different from the useless scholar from the past who couldn't even help a bottle of oil when it fell.
Seeing that everyone was stunned after hearing what he said.
After thinking about it, Zhao Ce shamelessly continued: "Besides, I'm a scholar. If this thing gets really big, it will also have a great impact on my reputation."
"If it gets really serious, I might not even be able to take part in the imperial examination."
Zhao Youcai said "Huh?"
"You can't even take part in the imperial examination?"
Zhao Ce glanced at everyone who was looking at each other, and nodded with a heavy expression.
"Yes, scholars, the most important thing is reputation."
"If I can't take part in the imperial examination because of this matter, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"
Thinking of the original owner's poor results, Zhao Ce had no choice but to make it up.
And looking for someone?
Who to look for?
I have not been deceived at all, and I am planning to deceive others!
The money was real money spent by the original owner in a brothel.
Is that the main explanation for finding that the soul has returned to Xiyuan?
Zhao Ce had no choice but to tell the truth.
Otherwise, Zhao Youcai would probably be completely disappointed with himself.
Zhao Ce could only bite the bullet and go big.
Frighten people first.
When Zhao Youcai heard this, he panicked on the spot.
The other people also had a bit of a bad look on their faces.
Although Zhao Ce's reputation in the village was not very good, studying for the imperial examination was a big deal.
If this kind of thing spreads, it won't be something people in their own village talk about casually in the village.
This is a real big deal!
We can't let him be unable to take part in the imperial examination because of this, right?
Zhao Youcai quickly said: "Well, we really can't look for it!"
Zhao Ce nodded and said, "Yes."
"As for the five taels of silver I owe uncle, I will pay you back after a while."
After Zhao Ce finished speaking, Zhao Wenhao next to him seemed to have heard a joke.
He let out a "scoff".
"Repay? What do you want in return?"
"Not to mention these five taels, the amount my father gave you previously was more than ten taels in total."
"You've almost sold all your land."
"This shabby house of yours is worthless. You'll be in trouble if you can return it."
After Zhao Wenhao finished speaking, Zhao Youcai looked a little confused.
As a village chief, he couldn't stop his nephew from selling his land.
Anyone who talks about this kind of thing would be embarrassed.
He couldn't help but scolded sternly: "Shut up!"
Zhao Wenhao was scolded by his father in such a stern tone, and he felt aggrieved.
Obviously what he said was the truth.
But his father scolded him again and again.
He turned his head aggrievedly and said no more.
The people who came to discuss things with me didn't say anything at all.
We can only wait quietly for Zhao Youcai to deal with it.
After Zhao Youcai finished scolding him, he said to Zhao Ce: "Cer, uncle, I'm not in a hurry about this money matter."
"Uncle is just worried that you have been cheated."
"But it's your reputation, and it's hard for your uncle to do anything else."
"Since you have decided to let this girl stay, let the two of you live a good life."
"That girl is not bad looking at all. Although she is a bit skinny, she should not be in trouble."
"When you get to high school, your uncle will make the decision for you and marry someone better!"
After Zhao Youcai finished speaking, Zhao Wenhao turned around fiercely.
I want to open my mouth and continue talking about silver.
These five taels of silver were simply wasted?
Do you want to marry him a better woman?
But thinking of his father's scolding, he held his breath and turned his head back.
Bai Bai was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
Zhao Ce didn't care what the people present were thinking.
At present, I naturally have no money to pay back.
What Zhao Wenhao said is indeed true.
And he will also find a way to repay Zhao Youcai's favor to him in the future.
However, the favor is not yet clear, so I have to earn some money as soon as possible.
Zhao Ce nodded and said, "That's what the uncle said."
"I will live a good life."
Although Zhao Youcai felt sorry for the five taels of silver, he changed his mind when he thought that his nephew seemed to have just married.
Look at him sitting on this stool now, with an upright posture and a calm face.
He couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
After this man got a wife, he consciously shouldered his responsibilities.
It is also very valuable.
Of course, this is what his uncle likes to see.
Zhao Youcai also nodded.
The fourth uncle next to him suddenly said: "Then you still have to tell us who this matchmaker is."
The third uncle also agreed: "Yes, we won't take this girl with us, but we also need to know who this matchmaker is."
"Everyone in the village will be able to avoid her in the future, otherwise she will be deceived in vain."
Zhao Ce didn't think too much and just made it up fluently.
"This person is from out of town, and I don't know what accent he speaks."
"I was so dizzy yesterday that I didn't remember much."
"Anyway, let's leave it like this for now."
