Chapter 211 While Yan Chixia is away, find a wife for Yan Shi [Please vote for me!]
"Oh? Then why did you eat my fish soup and my roasted whole lamb yesterday?" Wang Xiaohei asked doubtfully.
In the end, Cui Hongjian ate it.
However, he also swore that he would make money and return the money to Wang Xiaohei.
Wang Xiaohei looked at Cui Hongjian who raised his hand to swear, and said with a smile: "Stop making money, study hard, I will give you a hundred taels of silver for your study."
"Can you get the top score in the exam?"
Wang Xiaohei directly bought out one hundred taels of silver and said.
"No. 1 Scholar? Although my ambition is to consider taking the No. 1 Scholar examination, but I know that my knowledge is insufficient, so I really can't do it." Cui Hongjian refused directly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, in that case, I'll lend you a hundred taels, can you get top marks in the exam? Then you can return double to me," Wang Xiaohei said.
"Tanhua." Cui Hongjian was moved, but after thinking about it, he still refused.
"I will take the imperial examination, but I can do it without the king's funding." Cui Hongjian said.
"Keep it, or I'll swallow you whole." Wang Xiaohei said with a grin on his face.
Cui Hongjian, who was eating a big meat bun, suddenly felt a tremor all over his body, and he felt a feeling of palpitations in his heart.
"Take it, I'll take it, and I will definitely return double the amount in the future." Cui Hongjian was timid and kept the one hundred taels of silver.
He didn't even eat anything, so he ran into the house with the money and hid it.
By the time Cui Hongjian came out, Wang Xiaohei had already eaten all the food.
"Bookworm, please return all these food boxes to the restaurant called Donglai in town." Wang Xiaohei said.
"Ah, oh, okay." Cui Hongjian nodded and immediately packed up the food boxes. After a while, he left the town with many food boxes.
When Cui Hongjian returned home again, he had already bought some books, pens, ink, paper, inkstones and other things.
When he has money, his first choice is naturally to buy these four treasures of the study.
As soon as I came back, I went straight into the house and started practicing calligraphy and reading.
Wang Xiaohei was not idle either, sitting cross-legged on the roof and practicing.
When Yan Shi returned to Wumenju, it was already afternoon.
Wang Xiaohei also opened his eyes and stopped practicing the moment he came back.
He jumped down from above and landed in front of Yan Shi.
Yan Shi was startled by Wang Xiaohei falling from the sky, and almost hit him with an axe.
"How's it going? Did you hear that?" Wang Xiaohei asked.
Yan Shi remained silent, the expression on his face betrayed him.
"Here, thank you for the umbrella." Yan Shi returned the small pink umbrella to Wang Xiaohei and walked quickly towards the attic.
"Why, are you going to just watch your sweetheart marry a sixty-year-old man?" Wang Xiaohei said.
Yan Shi's steps paused, and he said, "I don't want to, but so what, I can't stop it."
After Yan Shi finished speaking, he continued to walk towards the attic.
"You can marry your sweetheart anytime you want, it's nothing more than money."
Wang Xiaohei said, took one hundred taels of gold and threw it at Yan Shi's feet.
"That old man married your sweetheart as a concubine for only fifty taels. Here is one hundred taels of gold. Do you dare to use the money to marry your sweetheart?" Wang Xiaohei said lightly.
Yan Shi saw the gold at his feet and his breathing became quickened.
In the past, he didn't attach much importance to money.
However, now, the appearance of these one hundred taels of gold made his breathing quicken.
He and Ling'er were childhood sweethearts.
When Yan Shi was a child, all the children in the town ostracized, isolated, insulted and even beat him.
Yan Shi was young at that time and had not learned any skills, so he was naturally miserable.
Only Ling'er was willing to play with him, bring him food, help him treat his wounds, and even stop those who bullied Yan Shi.
As he grew older, Yan Shi's martial arts gradually became stronger and he defeated those who bullied him.
The villagers would run away when they saw Yan Shi, partly for this reason.
With the growth of age, the two of them gradually no longer acted like they were when they were children. In addition, Yan Shi had low self-esteem and did not dare to talk to Ling'er, so they gradually became alienated.
However, every time he passed by the town, he always went to Ling'er's stall to buy some needlework dolls. He already had dozens of them.
As time went by, the two also reached the age of discussing marriage.
Yan Shi had low self-esteem, so naturally he did not dare to confess his love to Ling'er.
In addition, Yan Chixia told him every day that she wanted to cut off love and affection, so she even dared not express her feelings to Ling'er.
As for Ling'er, although he also has a crush on Yan Shi, she has a cowardly temperament.
In addition, in this feudal ancient times, how dare you fight against your parents at home?
In the end, her parents, who were disgusted by their money, married a wealthy old man from Guobei County as a concubine with fifty taels of gift money.
Then on the way to get married, she was abducted by the demon fox ghost king, died tragically and turned into a ghost, controlled by him.
Now, an opportunity is in front of me. Take this one hundred taels of gold and marry Ling'er.
"Does Linger like me? If I give money to marry her, will she agree?" Yan Shi murmured.
Without waiting for Wang Xiaohei to speak, he said again: "No, no, master will definitely beat me to death if he finds out. He never lets me make friends with others, let alone get a wife."
"But if I don't go, Ling'er will"
At this moment, Yan Shi was struggling crazily in his heart.
"Creak!" A sound!!
Cui Hongjian walked out of the house.
He was painting inside the house, but he also heard these words they said outside.
"Brother Shi, if you like your sweetheart, then go. If you miss it, you won't have it anymore." Cui Hongjian said.
Yan Shi glanced at Cui Hongjian and said, "You don't understand."
Wang Xiaohei saw Yan Shi being so entangled and said indifferently: "It's up to you. Anyway, he's not my sweetheart."
"Brother Shi, think about it for yourself. Your sweetheart wants to sleep in the same bed with an old man in his sixties. Can you bear it?"
"If you can bear it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Cui Hongjian also shrugged and said.
When Yan Shi heard this, he was shocked.
The scene of Ling'er sleeping in the same bed with an old man, and even being ridden on the crotch, came to his mind.
This made him so angry that he wanted to immediately pick up the knife and kill the old man.
"I heard that there is a fox demon ghost king nearby here who specializes in kidnapping brides and killing them brutally. If your master were here, she might not dare to come here and take action."
"But it seems that your master is not here. Do you think she dares to come here and kidnap someone?" Wang Xiaohei said again.
"Ah~~~!" Yan Shi couldn't bear it anymore when he heard this, and shouted in the sky.
"I, want, to marry, Ling'er!" Yan Shi gasped and said word by word.
"Then why are you still here? Go." Wang Xiaohei said.
Yan Shi nodded vigorously, no matter how ruthless he was, no matter what his master said, he would never, never let his sweetheart be ridden on the crotch by an old man.
"Wait a minute, you can't just go to your door to propose marriage. There are six rites required for a wedding, which are to receive a gift, ask for your name, accept a gift, accept a levy, ask for an appointment, and welcome you in person."
"When you propose marriage in Shimen, you have to be prepared to accept the gift." Cui Hongjian is also an expert in this field and said quickly.
"Ah?" Yan Shi immediately turned to look at Cui Hongjian.
"Well, I'll go with you and help you make some preparations," Cui Hongjian said.
"Okay, thank you Brother Cui." Yan Shi looked happy and quickly handed over his hands to express his thanks.
"No need to be polite, by the way, let's go this way."
Cui Hongjian had just walked a few steps when he suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "Wait a minute, Brother Shi, can you speak?"
For some reason, Cui Hongjian's reflex arc was only reflected now.
Soon, Cui Hongjian and Yan Shi disappeared from Wang Xiaohei's sight.
Wang Xiaohei lay aside, scratched his cheek with his paw, and suddenly laughed.
"Haha, I wonder what Yan Chixia's reaction will be when she sees that she has an extra daughter-in-law when she comes back?"
Yan Chixia's appearance seemed to appear in Wang Xiaohei's mind.
…
When Cui Hongjian helped Yan Shi prepare the lottery, it was almost dinner time.
Cui Hongjian suggested that we go again tomorrow morning.
However, Yan Shi insisted on going now in order to avoid a long night and many dreams.
Cui Hongjian couldn't resist Yan Shi, so he naturally followed him.
The results are naturally self-evident.
Yan Shi succeeded in getting Ling'er's parents to reject the old man's marriage with a gift of one hundred taels of silver.
Originally, Yan Shi was planning to directly give one hundred taels of gold as a betrothal gift, but Cui Hongjian stopped him.
You must know that one hundred taels of gold is equivalent to one thousand taels of silver.
Therefore, in the end, the betrothal gift turned into one hundred taels of silver, and the remaining money was enough for Yanshi to buy a large house and several acres of land.
As for Ling'er's parents, compared to marrying their daughter off to an old man as a concubine for fifty taels of silver.
They were more willing to let their daughter marry Yan Shi as their official wife at the price of one hundred taels of silver.
Although Yan Shi and his master Yan Chixia were considered by the people in the town to be weird people who were difficult to deal with.
However, she has a lot of money, one hundred taels, and she is also a legal wife.
The most important thing is that if his daughter marries Yan Shi, maybe no one in the town will dare to bully them.
After all, everyone in the town knows how powerful father and son Yan Chixia and Yan Shi are.
Yan Chixia is very cool. In the eyes of the people in the town, they are father and son.
Even though Yan Shi calls Yan Chixia Master, Yan Shi really treats Yan Chixia as his father.
However, Yan Chixia did not allow him to call him father, and he had been called master since he was a child.
They say they are master and apprentice, but in fact, the relationship is more like that of father and son.
When Ling'er's parents knew that Yan Chixia was not in town and it would take a few days before she could come back.
Ling'er's parents were afraid that Yan Shi or Yan Chixia would regret it when they came back, so they accepted the one hundred taels of silver on the spot.
Then let Yan Shi prepare the wedding team, the sooner the better, it is best to get married directly tomorrow, or even help contact the wedding team.
When Ling'er learned that Yan Shi came to propose marriage, she was very surprised and felt a little shy.
However, when she found out that her parents were going to marry her off to a sixty-year-old man as a concubine, she was shocked and looked in disbelief.
However, she was cowardly and did not dare to refute.
Just looking at Yan Shi's eyes became a little expectant.
One is to marry a sixty-year-old man as a concubine, and the other is to marry a popular, young and powerful Yan Shi as his wife. Even fools know how to choose.
